Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Chapter 94: Can...can you let go of me first?

Thinking this, Asuka slowly approached Hojo Saki Rei, already having made up her mind that her speed this time must be faster.

Only then could she wrap her arms around his waist before Hojo Saki Rei could react.

That way, Hojo Saki Rei wouldn't be able to subdue her.

Thinking this, Asuka suddenly exerted force again, pouncing towards Hojo Saki Rei at a rapid speed.

This time, in order to let Asuka learn how to use techniques, Hojo Saki Rei didn't grab her wrist the moment she reached out to embrace his waist.

Instead, he slowly raised his hand.

Just as Asuka's hand was about to embrace his waist, he blocked her arm.

Asuka's attack was already fast, and seeing that Hojo Saki Rei had only just extended his hand to block her, she felt a bit fortunate.

Fortunate that Hojo Saki Rei's speed was simply not enough to stop her.

At the same time, she also felt that Hojo Saki Rei's speed meant he couldn't do anything to her.

However, just when she thought she could embrace Hojo Saki Rei, her hand, which was reaching forward, was actually blocked.

Her body, which was originally leaning forward, also stopped at this moment.

Just as Asuka was truly shocked and curious about this, she saw that Hojo Saki Rei's hand had somehow blocked her elbow.

Before she could react, Hojo Saki Rei moved again, directly grasping her elbow.

At the same time, his hand slid to the side, and then tightly gripped Asuka's arm.

While Asuka was utterly confused, he had completely controlled her.

"How about it? Asuka, was that okay?"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei asked.

As he said this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

As for Asuka, seeing that she had been stopped by Hojo Saki Rei again, her entire face was blank.

Asuka had originally thought that her speed was fast enough and that Hojo Saki Rei couldn't do anything to her.

But now, seeing that Hojo Saki Rei still managed to control her, she fell into contemplation.

"This... Saki Rei-kun, how did you do that?"

Asuka asked, looking at Hojo Saki Rei with a puzzled expression.

Even now, she hadn't figured out how Hojo Saki Rei had done it, how he could so easily neutralize her moves.

"Actually, I already told you just now, no matter how fast you are, as long as my technique is already prepared."

"See, my hand has already started to defend, waiting for your attack. As long as you come over, I just need to be able to block your hand and prevent you from getting close to me."

"When you were getting close to me, my hand was already blocking here..."

"And while you were still thinking of embracing me, my hand had already blocked your elbow. This way, it's impossible for you to get close to me. After realizing you can't get close to me, you'll definitely think about pulling your hand back and trying a different attack method, right?"

Hojo Saki Rei asked with a serious expression.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say this, Asuka quickly nodded.

She could naturally understand what Hojo Saki Rei was saying.

"So, when you're thinking of withdrawing your strength, I'll just use force towards you in the same direction. This way, I can easily make you exert force according to my intentions."

"This is much simpler than using brute force to make you change direction..."

Hojo Saki Rei continued.

Hearing what Hojo Saki Rei said, Asuka finally believed what Hojo Saki Rei had said earlier.

Looking at Hojo Saki Rei in front of her, Asuka finally knew what had happened to her just now.

"Then... how about I try defending, and Saki Rei-kun, you try attacking me?"

Asuka asked.

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei could so easily neutralize her attack, Asuka also wanted to experience what it felt like to defend against someone else.

At the same time, she wanted to see if she could defend against Hojo Saki Rei.

Hearing her say this, Hojo Saki Rei naturally wouldn't refuse.

Since she wanted to experience it, it was fine with Hojo Saki Rei.

However, whether she could defend against him, Hojo Saki Rei didn't know.

"Alright, in that case, you start defending, and I'll start attacking."

Hojo Saki Rei said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Hojo Saki Rei's face, Asuka was puzzled. For some reason, when she saw Hojo Saki Rei smile, she always felt like she had been tricked.

"Could it be that Saki Rei-kun can easily handle me?"

"No, that's impossible. This defense method was taught to me by Saki Rei-kun. He will definitely use the same attack method as me, right? If that's the case, then I should be able to easily withstand his attack and directly neutralize his strength."

Asuka thought to herself, feeling a bit relieved after thinking this.

However, just as she was ready, Hojo Saki Rei walked directly towards her, but Hojo Saki Rei didn't use both hands, instead extending one hand towards Asuka.

As Asuka reached out to neutralize Hojo Saki Rei's hand, she saw that Hojo Saki Rei had somehow gotten very close to her.

Before Asuka could react, one hand naturally wrapped around her waist.

As their bodies came into contact, Asuka finally realized that she had, in fact, failed to defend.

"How about that? Was that okay?"

"It seems you lost."

Hojo Saki Rei said calmly.

Of course, this was just a superficial calmness.

As soon as his hand was on Asuka's waist, Hojo Saki Rei could feel the real touch coming from his hand, which was too wonderful.

Especially since Asuka wasn't wearing any restraints under her training clothes.

This feeling, let alone Hojo Saki Rei, even if it were any other man, they wouldn't be able to bear it.

Because the two were so close, Hojo Saki Rei could even smell the sweet scent emanating from Asuka.

As for Asuka, when she felt the hand on her waist, she realized she had lost, and at the same time, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

Even her little heart started to pound.

Asuka had never been this close to any boy before.

It could be said that Hojo Saki Rei was not only the first person of the opposite sex to be this close to her, but also the first person of the opposite sex to have physical contact with her.

If it were anyone else, Asuka would definitely feel disgusted.

But looking at the handsome and charming face so close, Asuka only felt that Hojo Saki Rei had an aura that made her feel very comfortable.

"Mm-hmm, I lost."

Asuka replied.

However, as she said this, her face became a little flushed again.

Even Hojo Saki Rei could feel that her heartbeat seemed to be much faster than before.

"Why do you blush so easily? Asuka, you're too thin-skinned."

Seeing Asuka like this, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but tease her.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say this about her, Asuka's face turned even redder.

"Saki Rei-kun, can... can you let go of me?"

Asuka spoke, and as she said this, Hojo Saki Rei realized that his hand was still on her waist.

Upon realizing this, Hojo Saki Rei finally understood why Asuka was so shy.

After all, Hojo Saki Rei had also learned about Asuka's past from Kono Mika.

So, at this moment, realizing that his hand was still on her waist, he felt a bit awkward.

"Next, I'll teach you some techniques."

As he said this, Hojo Saki Rei withdrew his hand, then held Asuka's small hand, and began to teach her hands-on.

This scene made Asuka's face even redder again.

However, Asuka didn't feel any discomfort with Hojo Saki Rei's various instructions.

On the contrary, as time passed, when her complexion returned to normal, she also began to feel that all of this was very normal.

After a few hours, as the afternoon approached, Hojo Saki Rei said goodbye to Asuka's home and returned to his own apartment.

"How was it? Is that Saki Rei as amazing as you said? Did you learn anything from him?"

After having Chiyo send Hojo Saki Rei back, Suzuki Takumi, looking at his daughter Asuka, who was sitting on the sofa, somewhat exhausted, asked with a smile.

Actually, he didn't even need to ask about this.

After all, if she hadn't learned anything from Hojo Saki Rei, Asuka would likely have given up long ago.

This kind of thing had happened before.

So, the fact that Asuka was so tired now indicated that she must have been very serious about her learning.

"Mm, Saki Rei-kun is certainly amazing, but I seem to be a bit slow."

Facing Suzuki Takumi's question, Asuka answered without hesitation.

Hearing her high praise for Hojo Saki Rei, Suzuki Takumi just nodded.

But soon, he realized he seemed to have overlooked something.

"Wait, what did you just say? You're slow?"

Suzuki Takumi looked at his daughter with some disbelief, as this was the first time he had heard her evaluate herself like this.

In the past, she would only say that he, her father, was slow. When had she ever admitted that she herself was slow?

But now, his daughter was saying this about herself.

For a moment, Suzuki Takumi looked at Asuka with a shocked expression.

"Mm-hmm, Saki Rei-kun has been teaching me for so long, and yet I still haven't been able to handle him. It's the same movement, but I can't achieve the same effect as Saki Rei-kun. Isn't that being slow?"

Asuka replied with a serious look on her face.

Hearing Asuka's words, Suzuki Takumi was stunned for a moment, and then the corner of his mouth began to twitch.

"Uh, daughter, how can you compare yourself to him? He's your martial arts tutor now, and he's been learning these martial arts for who knows how long. How could you catch up to him just by learning for a little while?"

Suzuki Takumi said somewhat speechlessly.

As he said this, he also started thinking about whether he should give Hojo Saki Rei some extra money or something.

After all, it had been a long time since he had seen his daughter evaluate herself like this.

In other words, in his daughter's heart, Hojo Saki Rei's status should be very high.

As for Asuka, after hearing Suzuki Takumi's words, she also nodded directly.

After all, what Suzuki Takumi said was the truth to her.

If she could surpass Hojo Saki Rei after only practicing for a while, then Hojo Saki Rei's years of practice would have been in vain.

After returning home, Hojo Saki Rei felt incredibly tired.

In the past, when he was a private tutor, he would only get this tired when teaching Tomoda Minako how to swim.

Other than that, Hojo Saki Rei felt that his other tutoring jobs were quite easy.

"This system, the tasks it gives are too tiring."

Shaking his head, all he wanted now was to finish teaching Asuka as soon as possible.

That way, he wouldn't be so tired.

"Fortunately, this task isn't every day, otherwise it would really be exhausting."

Shaking his head, Hojo Saki Rei headed straight for the bathroom.

Because he was teaching Asuka martial arts, Hojo Saki Rei didn't do anything else in the afternoon, just lay at home playing on his phone.

As for Tanaka Taiwa, he would send messages to Shiratori Kashiwa every now and then.

At this moment, seeing that Shiratori Kashiwa hadn't replied to his messages for two hours, Tanaka Taiwa suddenly felt uneasy.

Looking at the several messages he had sent to Shiratori Kashiwa, his brows furrowed severely.

"Did she really not check her phone? Or is Shiratori Kashiwa playing with other boys?"

"She has so many male friends, and even though those people don't say anything, it's obvious that they like Shiratori Kashiwa. What should I do?"

"No, I have to ask Shiratori Kashiwa out. If I don't make a move soon, who knows when she'll get a boyfriend?"

"But Shiratori Kashiwa said she doesn't plan on dating in high school. Will she reject me if I ask her out? If I get rejected, then in the future I..."
