My Anime Girlfriends

After taking the coat from me, Negi asked in surprise, "Brother, you also know Chinese martial arts?"

Hearing him say that, I smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I learned it a long, long time ago!" As I spoke, I assumed a fighting stance. An indescribable aura immediately emanated from me, causing Negi beside me to pause slightly in surprise. But I slowly closed my eyes, my memories of learning the art long ago merging with my own, and my body slowly began to move…

After I demonstrated the body movements, footwork, power generation, moves, techniques, and the so-called "eight major moves" of Bajiquan, Negi couldn't help but clap his hands. However, there was also applause from others. I opened my eyes and saw Sasaki Toki, wearing a tracksuit, standing next to Negi looking at me with starry eyes.

"Good morning, Shi Hui! When did you arrive?" I asked immediately with a smile.

"Ah... Good morning, Mr. Kuchiki! Um... I was jogging just now and I saw you practicing your boxing, so I..." Sasaki Tokie answered a little nervously when I greeted her.

Seeing her like this, I immediately smiled and said, "It's okay!" Then I turned to Negi and said, "Negi, did you see everything clearly just now?"

“I saw it clearly, brother!” Negi nodded immediately.

"So what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Negi's smiling face immediately fell, and he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother! Because the way you box really impressed me, so I..."

Hearing Negi say that, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hehe... Negi, you don't need to apologize. Every style of boxing has its unique strengths. Whether it's the Steel Bajiquan or the Soft Baguazhang, their offensive power is undeniable. But don't forget that you also need to learn to defend while attacking, since you don't have any advantage in physical attributes! That's all, I'm leaving now. Good luck!" As I spoke, I took my clothes back from his hand and prepared to leave. After walking a distance, I turned back to Negi and said, "By the way, Negi, Toki, if Evangeline asks you if you've seen me later, just say you haven't seen me, okay?"

Hearing me say that, Toki and Negi immediately nodded, and Negi asked in confusion after nodding, "I understand, brother! But... why did you lie?"

Hearing his question, my expression immediately froze, and I could only laugh and say, "Haha...it's nothing, just do as I say!" With that, I ignored the puzzled Negi and ran off.

Less than a minute after I left, Evangeline and Chachamaru came over. When Evangeline saw Negi, she immediately asked him angrily, "Have you seen your brother, Kuchiki Ten!"

"Ah...no!" Negi hurriedly said.

Hearing Negi say this, Evangeline immediately muttered to himself, "Damn it, you can't hide forever! I don't believe you can run away forever!" Then, he gave Negi a smile that made Negi involuntarily shudder and said, "Since I've run into you here, I happen to have something to discuss with you!"

"Huh?" Negi exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter 254 Footwork

On a lawn not far from the World Tree

Negi looked at me with a troubled expression and said, "What should I do, brother? Even if I learn kung fu from Gufei, I still can't beat Chachamaru...!"

“MA…MA…Don’t worry about Negi, Evangeline’s condition is not that you have to defeat Chachamaru, but just that you have to hit Chachamaru, so in a sense, your chances of winning are still very high!” I comforted him with a smile.

Hearing me say that, Negi immediately regained some confidence, clenched his fist tightly and said, "That's right! I will definitely try my best!" Then he ran towards Gufi to receive her guidance.

Watching Negi spar with Gufi, Asuna, who was standing next to me, looked at me and said, "That's true, but... is this really okay?"

“Yes, heavens… young master! Teacher Negi is still just a child after all!” Setsuna, who was standing behind me with Yuuna on her back, couldn’t help but say.

"Negi, you're so pitiful!" Konoka, who was holding my hand, said with a smile as she looked at Negi.

“That’s true. According to the information Chachamaru secretly gave me, Negi’s chances of hitting him are less than three percent,” I said with a smile.

Hearing me say that, Asuna couldn't help but exclaim loudly, "Huh? Doesn't this mean Negi is bound to lose?"

Seeing Asuna's surprised look, I smiled slightly and continued, "That's true and that's not entirely true. Chachamaru's data is based on Negi's performance this morning! So... as long as Negi improves his close-combat abilities in the remaining time, his chances of winning will greatly increase!"

Hearing me say that, Asuna immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great!"

Her action caused Setsuna, who was standing nearby, to break out in a cold sweat. Asuna seemed unaware that the probability of my so-called "great" improvement was definitely no more than ten percent. So Setsuna couldn't help but say, "Young Master Ten, even if Negi-sensei's strength has improved during this period, it still seems... impossible to deal with Chachamaru-kun!"

Hearing Setsuna say that, I nodded slightly and said, "That's right, so I'm going to teach him a few essential close-combat techniques!"

Upon hearing this, Setsuna and Asuna, both warriors, looked puzzled and asked, "An essential skill in close combat?"

As for Munaika, she looked at me with admiration and said, "Brother Tian, ​​you're amazing!"

As we were talking, Gufi stopped sparring with Negi and began teaching him some techniques for luring and counterattacking. So I smiled and walked over to Gufi and Negi and said, "Take a break, I want to teach you some basic close combat skills!"

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Gufi immediately shouted with joy, looking at Negi with expectant eyes.

Seeing the two of them looking at me like that, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't have any legendary special moves or ultimate techniques. Didn't I already say, just some close-combat tips?" As I spoke, I drew a circle with a diameter of nearly two meters around my body and looked at the two puzzled people, saying, "For the next ten minutes, you can use any move you like to attack me, except for magic, of course! As long as you can force me out of this circle... you should know my cooking skills, right? If you win, I'll personally cook a whole table of Chinese food for you, and not just noodles!"

Hearing me say that, Gu Fei couldn't help but drool, and then immediately showed a very enthusiastic expression and said, "No backing out, I want to eat a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!"

Hearing Gu Fei say that, a bead of sweat appeared on my forehead, and I chuckled with a twitching smile, "A Manchu Han Imperial Feast...you really know how to eat!" As I spoke, I smiled at Setsuna and Asuna and said, "You two should join in too, but it's a little easier for them."

"Ah...no need!" Setsuna and Asuna said at the same time.

Seeing that neither of them would agree, I immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha... Come on! You're not at a loss anyway, and this close-combat trick will be very useful for you!"

Hearing me say that, Setsuna seemed to be attracted by my so-called 'little trick'. Just then, Konoka thought it was very funny, so she pushed Asuna and Setsuna over and said, "Alright, Asuna, Setsuna, you two play with Ten-nii for a while!"

"Yes, Miss!" Setsuna hurriedly replied, then put Yuuna aside and walked over to me.

Asuna walked over and said to Konoka, "Seriously, you've got me!" Then she walked in.

After some discussion, Asuna, Setsuna, Negi, and Kofi decided to surround me from four directions within a circle about two meters in diameter.

I just laughed at their actions, pulled out a digital watch from my pocket, tossed it to Konaka outside the arena, and said to her with a smile, "Konaka, please mark the time for me, remember it's ten minutes!"

"Leave it to me with confidence!" Konaka said immediately with a smile.

Seeing that Konoka agreed, I smiled and nodded, then looked back at the four people around me and slowly said, "Well then... let's begin!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Gu Fei rushed forward, sliding into the circle and striking me in the abdomen with her elbow—a move from Bajiquan. Her stance suggested she intended to end the fight immediately. But just as she was about to hit me, I shifted my body, appearing beside her and pushing her forward. Just as Gu Fei was about to rush out of the circle, she drew an arc with her feet, slightly turning her upper body to deflect my push, and simultaneously thrust at me with both hands. As she was about to strike, I shifted again, dodging her attack and appearing behind her, pushing her out of the circle.

Gu Fei, whom I had pushed out of the circle, didn't attack immediately. Instead, she stared at my feet. Seeing her looking at my feet like that, I smiled slightly and said, "Have you already noticed?"

"What did you find?" Asuna asked, looking puzzled.

“Young Master Tian, ​​Gu Fei only took three steps during her attack!” Shana said directly.

"Huh? How did you know?" Asuna asked in confusion when she heard Setsuna say that.

"Look!" Setsuna said, pointing to the lawn I had just stepped on.

"It really was just three steps, so how did he dodge Gu Fei's attack?" Asuna asked, looking at the three obvious footprints under her feet.

"Footwork!" I said with a smile, looking at Asuna's puzzled expression.

"Footwork?" Asuna's face showed a puzzled expression again.

Setsuna, Gufi, and Negi all looked at me with admiration.

"Let's all come at once!" I said again, looking at the four people with different expressions.

Setsuna, Gufi, and Negi all nodded in unison and said, "Yes!" and simultaneously assumed an attack stance.

"Huh?" Asuna was a little confused when she saw the three of them like this, but she also adopted an attack stance.

Chapter 255 Manchu Han Imperial Feast

Inside the Chao Baozi shop, I was wielding my kitchen utensils at a dazzling speed, quickly clearing and breaking down the ingredients on the table while simultaneously controlling the flames of four stoves and stir-frying the ingredients in the pot. Because of the speed, it looked to others as if there were three of me working at the same time, which made Yotsuba May and Konoka, who were watching me cook, look at me with sparkling eyes.

After some effort, I looked at the fifty-eight dishes on the table and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Although I can't make one hundred and eight dishes, this should be enough!"

"Wow, amazing! You made so many dishes in just over an hour, and they smell so good!" Asuna exclaimed, looking at the fifty-eight dishes on the table.

"I even prepared so many bento boxes, but after seeing the teacher's cooking, even I lost my appetite!" Sasaki Tokie said, looking at the food on the table.

"My brother even used that amazing footwork while cooking!" Negi said in a surprised tone.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't have believed that swordsmanship could be used like this!" Setsuna nodded and said.

"Mr. Kuchiki is amazing! He can make so many dishes!"

"Is this really for us to eat?" Gu Fei asked, drooling.

"Brother Tian is the best!" Munaika immediately hugged my arm and said.

Hearing her say that, I immediately flicked her forehead with my finger and said, "You have the nerve to say that? If you hadn't distracted me in the last few seconds, I wouldn't have lost!"

Konoka immediately covered her forehead, which I had flicked, and laughed as she said to me, "Hehe... because... brother's cooking is really delicious, and Konoka really wants to eat it too, so..."

Hearing what Munaika said, I immediately sighed helplessly and said, "If I had known it was because of this, I would have told you in advance. Anyway, I was planning to do it anyway!" As I spoke, I paused slightly and looked at Chao Lingyin and said, "It's just... I didn't expect that the ingredients for 'Chao Baozi' would be so complete. Although I can't make a real Manchu Han Imperial Feast, I can still make half of it."

Upon hearing this, Chao Lingyin immediately laughed and said, "Haha... In order to make May make even more delicious food, I prepared a lot of ingredients at 'Chao Baozi'."

After Chao Lingyin finished speaking, Yiwenjielin walked in with Chachamaru. Upon seeing me, she immediately asked, "What did you call me here for?"

I immediately smiled at her and said, "Can't you even eat something?" Then, pointing to the table, I said to the women, "Everyone who's supposed to be here is here, hurry up and eat!"

"Yay!" Gu Fei shouted excitedly, then picked up her chopsticks and rushed to the table, devouring the food at several times the speed of a normal person.

At first, Asuna and the others didn't pay much attention to Gu Fei's ravenous eating, but after taking their first bite, they immediately joined the fray for the food.

While eating the shrimp dish of tomorrow, he said to Gufei, who was eating the fastest, "You're eating way too fast!"

While eating a duck leg, Gufei replied, "Mubafa, Tahachiru (It's so delicious!)"

"Xiao Sha, you eat too!" Mu Nai Xiang picked up a piece of pastry that she had already taken a bite of and handed it to Shan.

"Thank you, Miss!" Setsuna said, her face immediately turning red.

"Negi, you should eat too!"

"Thank you, Toki!"

"So long-winded!" Yiwen said to the arguing group while drinking her clear soup.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but laugh, and placed a bowl of clear soup in front of Chachamaru, saying, "Although you can't eat ordinary food, you can at least pretend to eat it!"

Hearing me say that, Chachamaru nodded and took the bowl from my hand, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Kuchiki!"

………………

Looking at the dishes that looked like they'd been washed, I couldn't help but complain, "Hey... you guys are really something! I worked so hard for so long, and you didn't leave me anything!"

"I'm sorry, brother!" Negi apologized immediately.

"Sorry!" the other girls also apologized with smiles.

"So long-winded! Just make another one!" Yiwen immediately turned her face to the side and said.

"Hey, hey... You make it sound nice, but I don't want to do it again!" I said immediately with a bitter face.

At that moment, Sasaki Tokie seemed to remember something. She walked to a corner of the super-sized buns, picked up the bento box, and handed it to me, saying, "Ah... um... if you don't mind, teacher, please have this!"

At the same time, Chachamaru, who was standing to the side, handed me the bowl of clear soup that I had served her earlier and said, "And this... Mr. Kuchiki!"

I immediately smiled and said, "Oh... I'm so sorry! Thank you so much!" Even as I said that, I had already taken the things from their hands.

Seeing my performance, Yiwen snorted and said, "Although you let me eat some decent food, I will not change my mind about testing you. Goodbye, Sunday at midnight! Chachamaru is leaving!" With that, she left with Chachamaru.

Upon hearing what Evangeline said, Negi immediately collapsed, looking at me with pitiful eyes and saying, "Brother!"

Looking at Negi, I slowly took a sip of the soup in my bowl and said, "Mmm...it's really delicious, as expected of the soup I made!"
