I teach judo in Tokyo.

Yae Meixuan shook her head frantically, practically bursting with anger: "Are you trying to take advantage of me? I just said it casually, and you actually agreed?!"

Sousuke chuckled: "Since you've already made the request, wouldn't it be impolite of me not to grant it? It's alright, Motoko is my disciple, Sakura and Rin are also my disciples, so it's perfectly normal for you to be my disciple too?"

"You...you're talking nonsense!" Yae Meixuan's face turned bright red.

"I can't be your disciple," she snorted.

Sorry, the system does not recognize the function of leaving one's sect.

Sousuke smiled slightly, then looked at Yae Meixuan: "Master Sister, you call me Teacher, and I'll call you Master. How about we each call each other by our own names?"

Then, before Mei Xuan could speak, he immediately continued, "Moreover, with the status of a disciple of my White Night Dojo, you might also receive mysterious protection, just like Su Zi and the others, and your strength might increase significantly!"

"How could that be—" Yae Meixuan curled her lip in disdain.

Thankfully, they stopped causing trouble.

However, for some inexplicable reason, he insisted on having another match with Suzuko.

***

Chapter 367 The Initiative of Weaving

Wufang Suzi readily agreed to Yae Meixuan's request for another match.

And then, just as Sosuke had predicted.

With the status of a disciple, Yae Meixuan instantly became one of the third-highest level of intimacy with him, possessing a protective magic bonus of up to 50%.

In other words, Yae Mei-xuan can receive a swordsmanship level bonus of up to "26" levels from Atobe Sousuke.

It immediately changed from level "44" to "44 (+26)".

With this extra boost, Mei Xuan regained the dignity that a master should have in front of Su Zi.

This time, without needing to unleash a powerful move, Mei Xuan easily defeated Su Zi.

However, Sousuke immediately discovered that this function was not without its limitations—the strength of the disciples after being enhanced would not exceed the corresponding strength of the dojo master.

In other words, his current highest level of kendo is "Nenryu 53". So even if the sum of the numbers after Yae Meixuan's buff is "70", he can only perform at the level of "53".

This damn system doesn't allow you to exploit any loopholes.

Sosuke is studying the system here.

Yae Meixuan, however, was already somewhat surprised and uncertain.

The main problem is that it's just too outrageous.

She's not some naive newbie like Wufang Suzi.

Yae Meixuan was quite aware that she had been stuck at the "ultimate" level for quite some time.

But during her battle with Motoko, she could clearly see that her strength had quietly entered a new realm—a realm that only a berserker-level swordsman could reach.

Why is this happening?

Just by becoming this guy's disciple, and without even starting to learn anything from him, he's already become so much stronger?

Mei Xuan felt that this world was a bit crazy.

Unfortunately, the reason behind this will never be revealed by Sousuke.

He coughed and summoned everyone from the White Night Dojo to his side.

"From now on, in addition to physical training, you should reduce the time spent on basic skills training and allocate most of your time to 'real combat training'."

Of the disciples, only the newly accepted Yae Meixuan was still in shock and hadn't reacted yet; the others quickly nodded in agreement.

"Furthermore, I will teach you a meditation technique to temper your spirit, since a martial artist's mental fortitude is extremely important..."

Atobe Sousuke quickly began to adjust the training policy for his disciples.

He could even foresee that his disciples would experience a tremendous increase in strength in the short term.

After all, real-world experience is the fastest way to learn and grow.

As disciples of his dojo, with the additional protective spell level bonus, each time they engage in actual combat, they are essentially experiencing firsthand what it feels like to be "a higher version of themselves."

In this world, what could be more suitable to be one's own master than oneself?

In each actual battle, they can accurately influence the body with a higher level of strength, and the benefits of this are not limited to giving them powerful combat abilities.

Most importantly, this level bonus disappears even after the battle ends.

However, the experience and insights gained in battle will not disappear.

For example, it's like if someone drives on a highway and gets used to speeding at speeds of 100 km/h or higher, they will unconsciously increase their speed even when they return to a regular road.

Or, if someone plays a game on "high difficulty" mode, even if they go back to "low difficulty" mode, they will find it too easy.

The experience of honing skills in high-difficulty modes has already raised the skill level of players.

......

And so, Sousuke, who had returned to the dojo after a long absence, skillfully resumed his familiar daily routine.

He arranged for people of similar strength to spar in pairs after the level boost.

He then began to treat the disciples, who had not received the meridian-nourishing hand therapy in a long time, one by one.

To avoid getting too angry from not having interacted with the disciples for too long and frightening the disciples who shouldn't be frightened.

Sosuke made a very deliberate adjustment to the order of treatment for the pulse-nourishing hand.

The first one was arranged to be the most gentle, considerate, and understanding of Kuno-nee.

Clearly, the widow also misses Sosuke very much.

After the usual half-hour massage, Sousuke's already unruly inner demon brother flew into a rage as the widow lightly touched and rubbed him.

He lifted the packaging of the cushion and immediately began to drink heartily.

Female benefactor, may I grant you an extra hour for free?

Fifty minutes later, the widow, her face flushed, slipped out of the dojo master's room.

She didn't dare go down to the dojo on the second floor. Instead, she took a shower in the bathroom on the second floor and then went back to her room to rest.

The pulse-nourishing hand massage session, which usually takes only half an hour, was extended by twenty minutes this time because it had been too long since I had received the treatment.

This is already the result of our abbess trying to get in and out as quickly as possible.

If you eat slowly and carefully, it won't take Kuno-nee an hour or two to leave.

After Kuno Maruko left, her classmate Yotsuba Saki missed Sosuke terribly.

It's a sad story, really. After advancing to the third stage, my little classmate didn't actually get to be intimate with Sosuke very often.

After all, not long after his promotion, the New Year arrived, and immediately after the New Year, Sosuke was confined to a hotel to participate in the King of Fighters tournament.

This was unbearable for my deskmate.

As soon as he entered the room, before Sosuke could even use his pulse-nourishing technique, the girl had already wrapped her arms around his neck.

Sosuke's lips were sealed, and he sighed helplessly—it seemed that the time for giving his little classmate the pulse-nourishing hand treatment today would have to be rescheduled.

The main course is finished, so let's go straight to the extended time!

So, another fifty minutes later, Yotsuba Saki also went to take a shower and hid in her room.

As for why she, who didn't perform the pulse-nourishing technique, still took up fifty minutes of Sosuke's time?

That's because—it's not enough to just satisfy Saki; we can't neglect Emi, the little succubus with her doppelganger...

Next up were Motoko Itako and Yumi Mifune.

These two disciples in the second stage accepted Sosuke's pulse-nourishing treatment well, but after the treatment, Sosuke held them in his arms and cherished them tenderly.

Since it was only the second stage, Sosuke did not unleash his inner demons this time.

A verbal lecture, followed by an extra hour of proper massage, was enough to make Yumi and Motoko give in.

This gave the inner demon brothers a chance to catch their breath.

Next, it was the turn of the three disciples who were still in the first stage.

Ryougi, Sakura, and Rin.

First up is Ryougi Ori, the UR-rank disciple on whom Sōsuke placed the most hopes.

After venting his frustrations on the previous girls, Sousuke was now in a sage-like state, calmly finishing his massage for Ryougi.

I was just about to gently ask her to call the Sakura and Rin sisters up.

As a result, the new disciple, dressed in a kimono, seemed somewhat troubled.

She sat up, looked at the serious-looking Atobe Sousuke, and asked directly, "Teacher... they say you really like beautiful women, right?"

"Huh?" Sousuke was taken aback for a moment, then laughed awkwardly, "Why would Ori ask that?"

Ryougi stared intently at Sousuke: "Everyone says you and that contestant named Cammy from that day are definitely dating, and that you wouldn't let a beauty like that go..."

"Slander! Utter slander!" Sosuke stammered in defense. "It must be that woman Meixuan talking nonsense. Zhi, don't learn bad things from them!"

"But... I also like teacher training."

"I, I also want the teachers' college to be treated the same way as everyone else."

Ryougi gave Sousuke an expectant smile.

Looking at the bright and beautiful short-haired girl in front of him, Atobe Sousuke couldn't help but swallow hard.

Chapter 368 The Undercurrents

"I, I also want the teachers' college to be treated the same way as everyone else."

Ryougi gave Sousuke an expectant smile.

Sosuke swallowed hard as he watched Ryougi Ori suddenly launch into a direct attack.

I had planned to cultivate a relationship with my only UR-level disciple, but before I could even take any action, had we already developed a relationship?

Am I perhaps some kind of succubus?

Sosuke scratched his head, momentarily speechless.

But Ryougi Shiki took the initiative to come over: "Teacher, do you not like weaving?"

"No, not at all." Sosuke smiled and patted her head, then gently wrapped his arm around his disciple's slender waist and pulled her close to him.

"I've always been drooling over Zhi."

Having experienced so much, he is no longer a docile person.

Once someone becomes your disciple, they will eventually be one of yours.

Just kidding. Even the disciples the system chose for him were all top-tier beauties with stunning looks. If he were to act like a virtuous gentleman, wouldn't he be letting down this system brother who seems to have been extracted from who-knows-where?

What? Are you just going to stand by and watch your beautiful disciple get snatched away by someone else, and then wish them happiness?

Don't even think about it!

What if the system can't stand it anymore and runs away?

Ryougi Ori was held in Sousuke's arms, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Overall, however, he remained relatively calm and was even able to look up and meet Sosuke's gaze.

She gently wrapped her arms around Sosuke's neck.

When Ryougi was practicing martial arts or not speaking, she was very quiet, even somewhat aloof.

She is somewhat similar to Motoko.

However, when chatting and interacting with acquaintances, she actually has a very lively personality, even a bit like a boy.

Before Sosuke could even say anything romantic to set the mood.

The girl's soft lips had already taken the initiative to touch mine.

Then, they immediately parted ways.
