"Oh, yes. I borrowed your kitchen and ingredients, but I didn't cook for you. You can go to the supermarket on campus to buy a lunch box."
"What!?"
Iwanaga Kotoko's face changed, and then she hugged the sofa cushion and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"You slept in my bed, used my kitchen and ingredients, and made a bento for Asagiri!? And you didn't even make one for me!? That's incredible!! This is absolutely incredible! You're going too far..."
"Here."
Before Iwanaga Kotoko could finish her complaints, Yuuki Asuna took out another lunch box from her bag and handed it to her, raising the corners of her lips and laughing.
"Just teasing you. I've done your share."
Iwanaga Kotoko frowned slightly and raised her chin.
"Huh, you think that I will..."
When Iwanaga Kotoko was halfway through her words, Yuuki Asuna opened her lunch box. The aroma of food filled her nose, and Iwanaga Kotoko, who had already consumed a lot of energy in the dungeon, felt like her stomach was about to growl.
“Hmph…Hmph!”
Kotoko Iwanaga took the lunch box handed to her by Asuna Yuuki, picked up a meatball with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, her cute face filled with happiness.
"That's it for now, let's eat first."
............
Two days later, on Friday afternoon, outside the private school Toyonosaki.
"Utsunomiya-san, Yuuki-san, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
It was not until Kato Megumi's voice sounded beside her that Yuuki Asuna turned her head belatedly and saw the other person in school uniform standing next to her without her knowing when. She couldn't help but say with a little surprise.
"Eh? Kato-san, when did you get here? I didn't even notice you. Did you use your talent again?"
"No."
Kato Megumi shook her head and replied in a calm and gentle tone.
"I'm not very noticeable to begin with."
Asuna Yuuki felt a little embarrassed. After all, Kato Megumi once said that she was still very sad about her low sense of existence. Just when Asuna Yuuki was thinking about how to skip this topic, Asagiri said thoughtfully.
"Well, Kato-san is indeed worthy of my name. If I had such a talent...tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I can't even imagine what I would do."
Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but complain.
"Generally speaking, these kinds of things are just inner thoughts, right? Who would openly make such a criminal-like declaration?"
"Heh, this shows that I am consistent and outspoken, facing my true heart and desires. That's why I awakened the power of my unruly personality mask."
"Isn't it about facing the fear of death? How did it become a real desire? And you said it was facing it, but you're just showing off, right?"
"that..."
Listening to the conversation between Asagiri and Yuuki Asuna, Kato Megumi interrupted quietly with a calm expression.
"Could you please save your flirting for a while? Don't we have something serious to discuss?"
When Yuuki Asuna heard Kato Megumi say that she and Asagiri were flirting, a blush appeared on her pretty face, but the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
"Yes, let's get down to business."
Asagiri looked at Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, coughed twice, and then spoke slowly.
"Judging from your talents and professions, both of you should be considered physical melee damage dealers. One of you uses a sword, and the other is tentatively using a dagger. So here comes the question."
"Although the rewards provided by the app for completing levels can improve players' physical functions, it doesn't seem to directly improve their combat skills. Anyone who has played the game knows that while stats and equipment are important, the player's operational skills are also essential."
"Therefore, you two need special training in combat techniques."
Kato Megumi's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and she spoke in her usual gentle tone.
"Special training... is indeed very important, but who should I find? I have to find someone who is trustworthy and proficient in at least two skills: swordsmanship and daggers..."
"Don't tell me, it's true."
Asagiri said with a smile.
"Let's go."
..............
Half an hour later, in a dojo outside Tokyo.
"Ashikaga-sensei?"
Following Asagiri into the dojo, Yuuki Asuna was stunned to see Ashikaga Miwa standing there with the two big words "Heart" and "Skill" hanging behind her. She was not wearing the slim professional black suit, but a loose kendo uniform.
She would never have imagined that the so-called trustworthy special training teacher who was proficient in swordsmanship and daggers was actually a teacher.
"come in."
"Oh...oh, okay."
Seeing Yuuki Asuna bending down to take off her shoes, Ashikaga Miwa shook her head and said in a flat tone.
"There's no need for all the formalities. I'm dressed like this just because of my personal habits. Utsunomiya-san told me that what you need isn't the fancy, showy kendo stuff. You want real life-or-death combat, unrestricted combat training. So, when it comes to dressing, just follow your usual habits."
"it is good."
After Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi walked in, Ashikaga Miwa looked at Asagiri who was sitting against the wall without any politeness and said lightly.
"You really know how to find things for me to do."
Asagiri shrugged and smiled as if it was a matter of course.
"Providing extracurricular tutoring to outstanding students is the hallmark of being an excellent teacher."
"Generally speaking, tutoring is all about studying, right? And..."
Ashikaga Miwa glanced at the cover of the booklet that Asagiri took out and frowned.
"What kind of stuff do you usually look at? Sniper rifle component diagrams and instructions? What? You want to rob a bank?"
083 A Compulsory Course for Warriors
In response to Ashikaga Miwa's teasing words, Asagiri just shook his head and replied casually.
"Just watching for fun."
"As you wish."
Ashikaga Miwa nodded without comment and spoke in a calm tone.
"Anyway, as long as you get first place in the grade in the spring exam, I don't care about anything else."
Then, Ashikaga Miwa looked at Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, pointed to the various wooden practice weapons on the shelf nearby, and raised her chin.
"Pick whatever you want. Who of you two will go first?"
"this..."
Noticing that both Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi seemed a little hesitant, Asagiri, who was looking at the AWP sniper rifle parts manual and usage tutorial, spoke softly.
"Don't worry. Don't be fooled by Ashikaga-sensei's thin gold-rimmed glasses and the abstinence and seriousness of a menopausal woman. But she is a direct descendant of the Ashikaga shogunate. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and is a noble samurai who can serve as a member of the Shuchiin Council. You don't have to show mercy to her."
"it is good."
After hearing what Asagiri said, Yuuki Asuna also made up her mind. She walked to the weapon rack and took out a wooden sword of a similar style to her Exorcist sword. Then she slowly walked in front of Ashikaga Miwa and whispered.
"Mr. Ashikaga, please choose your own weapon."
"Need not."
Ashikaga Miwa bent her legs slightly, clenched her left fist and placed it at her waist, while extending her right hand forward. She breathed very steadily and took a stance.
"Wait until you can actually meet me before you talk about letting me take the weapon."
Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but frown. Although her physical fitness was not as abnormal as Asagiri's, after going through the last copy and killing so many special infected people, and being strengthened through exclusive talents, it was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Her weaknesses are strength and defense, but the so-called weaknesses are only relative to her expertise in speed and agility. Not to mention that she is a high school student, even compared with an adult man, she is much stronger.
Even if this Ashikaga teacher was born into a samurai noble family and practiced martial arts since childhood, there was no way he could beat me with bare hands, right?
Yuuki Asuna was very competitive. Seeing Ashikaga Miwa looking down on her like this, she couldn't help but frown, tightened the wooden hilt in her hand, and said softly.
"Teacher Ashikaga, let's begin."
"please."
The moment Ashikaga Miwa said the word "please", Yuuki Asuna had already flashed and rushed in front of the other party. Although she only had a wooden sword in her hand, she stabbed towards Ashikaga Miwa's left shoulder with an unstoppable momentum.
But the next second, Ashikaga Miwa seemed to have anticipated Yuuki Asuna's attack. Before the wooden sword in the opponent's hand could stab her, she slightly sidestepped and then used a knife to hit Yuuki Asuna's head lightly, neither too hard nor too light, as she had not yet retracted her strength and her body was a little off balance.
"You're fast."
Seeing that Yuuki Asuna was about to fall, Ashikaga Miwa reached out and grabbed the other's left wrist. After Yuuki Asuna stood up again, she raised her hand and pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, speaking in a calm tone.
"But your attack was too obvious. Although your speed was fast, you were using all your strength, so you couldn't change your moves the moment I dodged. As a result, you exposed a fatal flaw."
As she spoke, Ashikaga Miwa walked to the weapon rack and took out a wooden sword. Then she looked at Yuuki Asuna and spoke slowly.
"A weapon is an extension of the user, but a martial artist is also a weapon. Judging from your movements, you seem to be adept at wielding a sword with one hand, but that doesn't mean your left hand is completely free during combat."
Having said that, Ashikaga Miwa changed to holding the sword with her left hand, and then made a beautiful sword flower with her left hand.
"Even if you're using a one-handed sword, you still need to practice hard to become proficient in wielding the sword with both hands."
Yuuki Asuna did not respond, but nodded very seriously, keeping Ashikaga Miwa's words firmly in mind.
She has realized that it makes sense for Asagiri to ask the head teacher of Class A to give special training to her and Kato Megumi.
Ashikaga Miwa's physical fitness is not particularly outstanding. At least compared to Yuuki Asuna who has been strengthened by rewards, she is at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness. However, Ashikaga Miwa's fighting skills, her ability to predict the enemy's movements, and how to lure the enemy into revealing their flaws, these fighting skills and methods are several levels stronger than Yuuki Asuna.
"call..."
Yuuki Asuna adjusted her breathing, her eyes showing a competitive determination. She gripped the hilt of the sword tightly again and looked straight into Ashikaga Miwa's eyes.
"Mr. Ashikaga, please continue."
"Oh?"
Noticing Yuuki Asuna's expression, Ashikaga Miwa's expression, which had been calm until now, finally showed some changes.
"Interesting, it seems that you are indeed a talented person."
..............
A few hours later.
It was completely dark outside, and in the dojo with the lights on, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi didn't even have the strength to stand up. They just knelt on the wooden floor. Sweat had soaked their hair, and even their clothes had become extremely heavy.
"Huh...huh..."
Asuna Yuuki turned the wooden sword in her hand around, trying to use it to support herself and stand up again, but was stopped by Miwa Ashikaga.
"Let's stop here for today's special training. If we continue, we will overexert ourselves and cause harm to our bodies."
Ashikaga Miwa looked at the two girls, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal admiration and praise.
What a talented person.
Both Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi have very good physical fitness. Yuuki Asuna's strength lies in her extremely strong competitive spirit. Even though she was completely unable to touch Ashikaga Miwa at the beginning of practice, she did not give up, but became more and more courageous.
The advantage of Kato Megumi is that her emotions and mentality are very stable, and it is really difficult to see through them. Ashikaga Miwa is completely unable to guess what this girl is thinking from her facial expressions.
It was because of Asagiri's request that Ashikaga Miwa initially took out her precious time to provide special training to these two high school girls. She originally didn't think that this kind of thing was meaningful, but now, her mind has changed.
Providing special training to two gifted girls, Yuuki Asuna and Kato Megumi, is definitely not a meaningless waste of time.
"That's all for today's special training for the two of them."
Ashikaga Miwa looked at Asagiri who was sitting against the wall and spoke slowly.
"Next, it's your turn."
Asagiri stood up, stretched his shoulders, and replied with a smile.
"Is it finally my turn? I'm getting a little bored waiting."
"Well, wait for me to get the things needed for special training."
