Shirou's clones number 30 million

"This is the best way for you."

"You want to become his apprentice and then make money by performing your skills, but no skill can be learned in a short time."

"Based on what you just said, your family is probably almost out of money for food. Will the money you have left last until you successfully complete your apprenticeship?"

"Besides, when you become an apprentice, you usually have to pay tuition to the teacher. You can't expect the teacher to pay for your food without paying a single penny, can you?"

Lina looked back and forth between the two, then quickly ran to Shirou Shirazawa and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your help, store manager."

"Okay, please guide me in the future. By the way, I should mention something in advance: you are too young, so your salary is only half of what others receive."

"No problem, thank you very much!"

......

The moment she found a job, Shirou Yasaka, cosplaying as Kensei Ma, leaped up and ran back and forth on the rooftop, quickly finding Ryan's shadow clone lying in a dilapidated wooden house.

As soon as I entered, a strong smell of alcohol hit me.

How much did you drink?

"Ma Jianxing? Huh...? Oh, it's you." Ryan immediately sat up. "Why are you dressed like this all of a sudden?"

"It's just cosplay out of interest, there's no particular reason. By the way, it's amazing that you could recognize Ma Jianxing at a glance, but Bai Ze didn't."

"Haha...you've seen my daughter?"

"I saw him. He just asked me to be his apprentice, but after I refused, he joined the Yorozuya."

"That's good."

"By the way, why did you use such an extreme method? Aren't there other approaches to family education?"

"This is the best way. Jade cannot become a useful object without being carved. Why was Chenxiang able to split Mount Hua? It was all thanks to the encouragement of his drunken father."

"Which TV series is this from? It's amazing that you can still remember it so clearly even though it's been so long since you traveled through time."

"Life in this other world is so boring. I'm so bored every day that I can only pass the time by reminiscing about the anime series in my mind."

"No wonder you recognized Ma Jianxing's attire at a glance. I'm leaving now, see you later."

"Where are you going? We've only been chatting for a couple of minutes, why are you leaving all of a sudden?"

"I'm going to fight Fan Xinglu. Since I'm cosplaying Ma Jianxing, I should take this opportunity to make my kung fu famous."

"Oh... I remember now, you now possess all of Ma Jianxing's martial arts. I'm going too!"

Ryan stood up, visualized an image in his mind, and instantly transformed.

"Alright, I am now Junto Furinji."

“Fūrinji? It doesn’t look like him at all?” Yasaka Shirō looked him up and down.

"Haha... If you put it that way, you don't look like it at all. You don't have a beard, and your age doesn't match up at all."

"That makes sense! Then let's not argue about who's who!"

......

"Give it your all, Ma Jianxing!"

Fan Luxing naturally accepted all the challenges that came her way.

In no time, the two fought their way from the Seventh Academy of the Realm Dragon to the rooftops of the streets of the Academy City, echoing the 18 live broadcasts of the competition in the sky.

"When I, Ma Jianxing, fight, I only look at my opponent. I use the same amount of force as my opponent."

Below, outside the Yorozuya, a bystander named Shirou Hakuzawa stared speechlessly at the two figures in the sky, thinking to himself:

No wonder Yasaka cosplayed like that; it turns out he was going to fight Fan Luxing as Ma Jianxing.

However, the difference in strength is too great. If one's martial arts skills are only used for show, is that really meaningful?

If you really want to do that, you might as well take on a disciple as Ma Jianxing and pass on the martial arts.

Unfortunately, after last night's sleep time, he was no longer Ma Jianxing, but just cosplaying.

Even if you still have memories of martial arts in your mind, you've lost the essence of it.

As he pondered, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Hello, is this the Yorozuya?"

"Yes, is there something you need?" Shirou Shiro turned his head and saw that the person who came was a girl wearing the Seidoukan Academy uniform.

"Um... my name is Toudou Kirin. I would like to become an apprentice of Mr. Ma Jianxing. I wonder if your Yorozuya can help me with that?"

Again!

Shiro looked bewildered. Why did they all want to become his apprentices? Did his cosplay of Ma Jianxing look that powerful at first glance?

"May I ask why?"

“I have a reason to win the Star Martial Arts Festival. Mr. Ma Jianxing’s martial arts have their own system, yet they can suppress Fan Xinglu, and they also have a very unique aesthetic. My intuition tells me that this is the path for me.”

"Intuition isn't always that accurate."

Shirou Shirazawa made a sarcastic remark, then shifted his gaze to the sword at Kirin Toudou's waist, and couldn't help but say:

"By the way, you use weapons, right? What made you decide to become an apprentice of someone who practices unarmed combat?"

If it were Masashi Kensei, he might not necessarily be able to defeat the student in front of him.

However, strength and martial arts prowess are not directly related.

Weak physical strength does not mean weak martial arts.

"I... can actually fight unarmed." Kirin Toudou thought for a moment and added softly, "The day before yesterday in the arena, someone took my weapon away by some strange means, and I was very unwilling to accept the defeat."

"After that, I thought about it for a long time and realized that I should learn some unarmed combat skills so that I wouldn't be unable to fight back after losing my weapon."

Shirou Hakusawa seemed to be deep in thought, pondered for a few seconds, and nodded slightly:

"I see. I accept your request. Even if Ma Jianxing doesn't teach you, I guarantee I'll find you a master."

Chapter 667 One-Off Deal

Chapter 667, Section 668: A One-Off Deal

"Master Ma, please take care of this."

Just after Yasaka Shirou finished his battle with Fan Xinglu, he was summoned to the Yorozuya by Shirou Shiro.

After leaping continuously from the rooftops and landing in front of the Yorozuya, several people suddenly surrounded me, bowing and greeting me very warmly.

Turning my head, I saw a long line in front of the Yorozuya, with at least several hundred people.

In front of the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop), there was a table where Shirou Shiro and Yuri Tensho were sitting and registering information and filling out forms.

"What are you doing? Don't tell me it has anything to do with me?" Yasaka Shirou asked, somewhat speechless.

"Brilliant...! That's it."

Shirou Shiro smiled slightly, glanced at the still-growing number of people in the group, and explained:

“Before, Kirin Toudou came to Yorozuya and said she wanted to become your apprentice, asking me if I had any ideas.”

"I thought it was okay, so I registered her information."

"Who would have thought that once she mentioned it online, so many students would come running over?"

"And so, it turned out like this."

Shirou Yasaka looked bewildered, glanced around at the queue, sighed helplessly, and said in a spoken voice:

'I don't recall saying I was going to take on apprentices, did I? You've made such a big fuss, how are you going to clean up this mess later?'

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to take them as disciples." Shirou Shiro replied telepathically, "This is what I'm thinking: first, use some criteria to filter out 90% of them, then carefully select the rest, and finally, pass on the best of the best to them through martial arts."

'So you still need to take on apprentices?'

"Listen to me! We'll only teach them Ma Jianxing's martial arts; we won't take on any apprentices. In other words, this is a one-off deal."

"That's possible, but are you sure it won't cause any lasting problems?"

"Don't worry, the person who taught the martial arts is Ma Jianxing. What does it have to do with you?"

"That's right, then it's decided."

Seeing that he agreed, Shirou Shirawa immediately stood up and said to the students in line:

"Gentlemen, Master Ma has agreed to teach martial arts, but his requirements for passing on his skills are very strict, and most of the people present do not meet them."

"Now, please let Master Ma state his requirements. Students who do not meet the requirements, please leave voluntarily."

Shirou Shirazawa gestured for him to enter, and Shirou Yasaka stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"Before that, I have a question. There are many powerful individuals in the Academy City, and recently many powerful individuals from other worlds have also arrived. Why do you want to ask me for martial arts instruction?"

The students in line looked at each other, remained silent for a few seconds, and then began to speak.

"Because Master Ma's martial arts are very beautiful, combining both practicality and aesthetic appeal..."

“Other people are too strict in accepting disciples. I can’t even get past the threshold of President Fan Xinglu’s group, but it might be easier for Master Ma.”

"Master Ma is highly respected and clearly knows how to teach his apprentices."

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Yasaka Shirou roughly understood.

They came to queue up just to give it a try; if they succeeded, great, but if not, there was no loss.

The reason they thought they were so great was because they had completely suppressed Fan Xinglu and even won the fight.

In other words, they cannot judge the strength of those powerful beings from other worlds.

And the one who defeated Fan Xinglu must be a strong person.

In that instant, Shiro Yasaka suddenly thought that if he taught Ma Jianxing martial arts on a large scale, would Fan Xinglu think that the reason he challenged her to a fight was to ride on her popularity?

"I don't plan to take on apprentices, but finding a few people to teach martial arts shouldn't be a problem."

"Of course, I have very high requirements for teaching martial arts. Let me tell you about the general requirements."

"First, all those who have practiced my martial arts are forbidden from bullying the weak. From now on, you can only fight those who are stronger than you, and you must never attack those who are weaker than you unless they make the first move."
