Female Swordsman Training Dojo

After landing, Harunobu originally wanted to try out the effect of Thunder Breathing: Sixth Form: Lightning Strike Thunder Strike combined with Wind Control Sword Technique, but after seeing the two children, he put it away for the time being.

It wouldn't be good if the kitten got upset later. Although she definitely wouldn't get upset with him, it doesn't mean she wouldn't be in a bad mood.

I'm still a little too excited.

Qingxin scratched his head, habitually performed a blood-vibration technique, and then sheathed the shallow sword.

"How about it? My newly mastered swordsmanship is pretty strong, isn't it?"

The kitten ran to Harunobu's side, its eyes casually glancing at Tsuchimikado Haru and Fujiwara Kaguya, and said nonchalantly, "Master, is this swordsmanship easy to learn? I want to learn it too!"

"You should first master the Thunder Sword and the Mind's Eye Blade." Harunobu pinched the kitten's face and said in agreement, "You guys too, I called you here just to let you know that there are many more and stronger sword techniques waiting for you to learn, so don't slack off—especially you, Nana."

The innocent, lazy dog ​​blinked and pouted pitifully.

The others burst into laughter, and the atmosphere instantly returned to normal. The Pawa woman, Tsuchimikado Haru, opened her mouth, then pursed it again. It was obvious that this kind of swordsmanship wasn't something that could be taught casually; even the little cat hadn't received Harunobu's explicit permission, so how could she, an outsider, possibly be taught it?

Moreover, even with the difficulty she faced in learning Flying Sword Technique and Thunder Sword Technique, she probably wouldn't be able to learn such profound sword techniques even if Taira no Shinichi were willing to teach her.

Regret and resentment made Haru Tsuchimikado bite his lower lip, and the long-buried question in his heart gradually grew stronger.

Why do others seem to be progressing faster than her? They're all in the same teacher training program, and she's even working much harder—while they're fooling around with Hiraharu, she's still practicing diligently!

If that little bit of time wasn't enough to create a significant gap, how come someone as lazy as Hanazawa Nana can improve faster than her? Is it really because she lacks talent?

There must be some secret... Come to think of it, it seems that the closer someone is to Hiraharu, the faster they progress?

An Onmyoji, proficient in various strange spells (theories), thought of a certain legendary spell.

Double...dual cultivation?

Chapter 286: Fleeing Overnight

Suddenly, the brief demonstration ended, and Harunobu's wives excitedly grabbed him, bombarding him with questions, so much so that Tsuchimikado Haru and Fujiwara Kaguya, who also wanted to come up, didn't get a chance. And as lunchtime ended amidst this chaos, Harunobu and his companions were off to hunt again.

Although he'd transformed into a carefree, easygoing guy, Harunobu wasn't about to let go of those mobile study points. 500 points for each attack, and if only his disciples did it, he could get another 500, making it 1000 points. Would he be stupid not to take advantage of such a good deal?

—What if I draw another SSR later? What if I actually draw Enma's Blade?

Pawa!!!

By the way, we should also see just how good Kujo Hideki really is.

Chapter 309

As for his combat prowess, if he were a samurai, he must have relied on swordsmanship and mental focus to slay the monsters. Harunobu already knew about the swordsmanship he practiced; it seemed to be the Shinryu swordsmanship, which had been passed down since the Heian period, with Fujiwara no Michinaga, the powerful minister who once controlled all of Japan, as its founder.

It is called "Full Moon Heart Flow".

It is said that the name comes from a famous poem by Fujiwara no Michinaga: "This world is my world, as full and without waning as the moon."

Incidentally, Fujiwara no Michinaga came from the Kujo branch of the Fujiwara clan, so he can also be called Kujo no Michinaga.

However, information on the specific unique aspects of this school of thought is scarce. The same applies to Shiranui Ran; while she is familiar with the techniques and special skills of the Full Moon Heart Style, she is unclear about the most crucial element: mental focus, especially the effects of Kujo Hidekichi's mental focus.

After all, neither the Special Higher Police nor Princess Mitsuru's personal ninjas primarily focused on samurai. It was only because Harunobu was a special case and encountered a good opportunity that Shiranui Ran and Harunobu became such close friends.

Forget it, that guy doesn't seem as confident as he looks anyway. After I've taken care of the other small fry these past two days, I'll find some time to go and chop him up.

Harunobu pushed his bicycle out and hugged Tachibana Seiko, who had unusually been slacking off for half the day: "Go ahead and do it. If there are any blind fools, remember to point them out."

During lunch just now, Tachibana Seiko reported on some situations. In general, the development of the Azure Sky Business Alliance has recently encountered obstacles. Some of these obstacles are normal business competition, but others are clearly malicious sabotage, and the specific members and the masterminds behind them are quite obvious.

Tachibana Seiko took a deep, satisfied breath and restlessly rubbed her large breasts against Harunobu's chest: "Don't worry, with all the things you gave me from the Normal School, no fool would betray us now. In fact, those idiots who came to ambush us now have actually helped us a lot, saving me from having to find another excuse to embezzle them."

Seiko Tachibana is no pushover; as the "husband" of the Tachibana family, she has the most fiery temper. She only knew Harunobu was unhappy, otherwise she would have already gone to his door that very night and sent those who started the dirty tricks to a private room in Tokyo Bay.

"That's good." Qingxin patted Tachibana Seiko on the back, parted ways with the reluctant Black Dragon Girl, got on his bicycle, and rang the bell.

"set off!"

"Oh!"

The Aozora-kan squad, full of pride and high spirits, charged into the bustling streets and excitedly arrived at Shiba Ward, where they found a hotel based on the intelligence.

But before he could kick the door open, the innkeeper, who was standing at the door, came up to him, calling out, "Master Taira! Lord Taira! The people from Suzuyama-kan have left! They're not here anymore! They said they went back to Nara!"

???

Harunobu was puzzled, but he still pulled back his raised right leg and looked at the approaching boss: "Did the people from Suzuyama-kan go back to Nara?"

The owner nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Yes, they said they were going to Yoshiwara yesterday and might not come back. But they suddenly came back late at night, packed their things, checked out, and didn't even ask for their room fee back. They also told me to remember to tell you, Master Taira, tomorrow that they were just tricked and didn't mean anything by targeting Aozora-kan."

As he spoke, the boss put down his soaked sleeves and took out an envelope from his pocket: "This is the apology letter they left behind."

Qingxin took the envelope, examined it, and only opened it after confirming there were no strange traps. Inside was a letter, the gist of which was similar to what the innkeeper had said, only with more ornate language, a more earnest tone, and honorifics in every sentence.

Considering the time they ran away... could it be because news of their victory over the gyms yesterday spread? But if that's the case, what about the remaining gyms...?

Qingxin frowned and said to the boss, "You don't mind if we take a look, do you?"

"No problem, no problem," the shopkeeper said, bowing and scraping. "I've already spoken to the customers, and they all have no objections. It's just that some people said they wanted your autograph..."

"Make them all come out." Harunobu waved his hand. "Amu, Sachiko, you two take people and search the area."

The hotel isn't very big, just two floors, so it's fine to split into two groups.

"Yes, teachers' college."

Hirako and Hosho Amu quickly led their respective teams into the inn, and the innkeeper called out the guests. Most of the guests stood nervously to the side, not daring to approach Harunobu and his group, clearly frightened by the recent "misdeeds" of the Aozorakan. But just as the innkeeper had said, some guests still eagerly approached Harunobu, and all of them were holding something in their hands.

Oh, it's his portrait.

"Lord Harunobu, I'm your biggest fan! Oh, you don't know what 'fans' means, do you? This is..." A girl dressed in a very Western-style tutu spoke with great enthusiasm and incessant chatter, her overwhelming excitement almost overwhelming Harunobu.

And there are five or six others like her.

Some were wearing traditional kimonos, some were wearing Western-style dresses, and there was even a blonde, blue-eyed foreigner in a traditional black and white maid outfit who was greeting Harunobu in broken Japanese and asking him to sign the photos on her chest and in her hand.

Qingxin wasn't intimidated; his enthusiasm was nothing compared to that of his wives. He was just a little surprised that, given his current reputation, there were still women outside who were so fervent about him… It should be more like the nervous, wary, and somewhat disdainful and envious women around him.

However, just because Harunobu had no objections didn't mean no one else did. Hanazawa Nana was the first to stop the girl in the dress who was practically pressing her chest against Harunobu, and said coldly, "Please be polite, everyone. Don't force us to resort to violence."

That's just a polite way of saying it, but what she really meant from her tone and expression was: You sows in heat, stay away from my man!

The women's keen sixth sense came into play here, accurately sensing this. Especially after Saten Yoko and Tachibana Nako also joined the ranks of the avant-garde, it goes without saying that the disciples of Aozorakan were unwelcoming to them.

After all, there are far more wolves than sheep, so why would anyone else have a chance to snatch it up? If the teachers' college brought it back themselves, that would be one thing, but you common, ordinary girls, get out of here!

What kind of class do you have to try and steal my man!

This was supposed to be a big battle, but considering that Harunobu had stepped forward and put his arm around Hanazawa Nana's shoulder, some women who were usually sharp-tongued shut up and obediently lined up.

Qingxin didn't mind leaving his signature. Although his calligraphy was terrible since he graduated from elementary school, so-called artistic signatures are basically just scribbles anyway. Besides, every stroke of his pen now contained his thoughts and insights into swordsmanship, so even if the handwriting was bad, it still looked quite good.

Harunobu quickly signed off on the "merchandise" worn by these fans, while Hojo Amu and Hirai Sachiko had also returned after their search. Clearly, they hadn't found anyone, otherwise they wouldn't be so calm.

Qingxin had a bad feeling; what if all the remaining out-of-towners...?

Damn, I have to go check this out right away.

Before leaving, Harunobu still asked, "Speaking of which, you all know about my reputation, right? Why is that?"

The woman in the evening gown smiled shyly: "Hehe, I think you're very manly, Master Ping, and I wouldn't mind if you found other women. Speaking of which, if you're not in a hurry, I'd like your autograph too~"

The woman in the dress reached her hand below her abdomen, making it clear.

The others—who seemed to be together—gave similar answers, which, to summarize, were: because Harunobu could marry so many women and satisfy them all, they felt he was better than other men and could definitely satisfy them.

Sisters, you guys

Chapter 287: A Discussion on Life

Good news, the side quest is almost complete.

Bad news: all the credit from China Mobile has been stolen overnight.

The Aozora Gym, just after nightfall, was filled with an unpleasant atmosphere. The main reason was that throughout the day, apart from a few local Tokyo gyms that were impossible to reach, all the other out-of-town gyms on the list had already fled Tokyo and given up on the Tenran Tournament.

The two remaining local dojos offered little resistance; their instructors intervened directly, and the dojo members were carried away by Amu Hojo and Nako Tachibana. The entire battle lacked any real excitement; most people were simply watching, so there wasn't a celebratory party that night.

Harunobu's wives were very disappointed.

Qingxin was also disappointed, mainly because today's gain was only 2000 study points—although that was not a small amount, it seemed too little compared to the previous two days.

However, this is a good thing, at least it can end this farce sooner and reduce some of the opponents in the Tianlan Tournament. Although it's only a few, not all dojos followed suit and came to cause trouble for Qingxin. There weren't many who went to the Qingkong Dojo to mock him or give interviews and make "expert opinions."

Moreover, most of the top performers were just small fry; the stronger dojos were the least vocal, such as the other two hatamotos besides the Kujo Dojo, and Hayashi Uemon. Even Hayashi Nozawa himself didn't say anything out of line; he was just tricked by his foolish apprentice.

Looks like I'll be sending Kujo Hideki off on his journey tomorrow.

Qingxin slumped on the sofa, rubbing the kitten's soft belly with his left hand. The kitten, which was checking the revenge list and existing intelligence one by one, skillfully snuggled closer to Qingxin, tucking its warm little body into his chest.

cute.

Qingxin shook off the disappointment of losing a lot of study points, and stopped disturbing the kitten's work. She got up and strolled out of the room, ready to randomly capture a cute little creature to play with.

Harunobu had only taken a few steps outside when he saw Tsuchimikado Haru. What really caught his eye was the constant switching between "doubt" and "hesitation" above her head.

"Yo, Miss Tsuchimikado." Since Tsuchimikado Haru was just a temporary apprentice who would eventually have to go back to being a high priest, Harunobu treated her quite politely. "Are you out to admire the moon too?"

Haruto Tsuchimikado looked at the dark, moonlit sky and nodded: "Yes, Teacher's College."

The girl's somewhat listless tone made Harunobu scratch his head, and he could only awkwardly ask, "Are you getting used to life at the museum?"

Fortunately, Haru Tsuchimikado noticed Harunobu's embarrassment and took the initiative to continue the conversation: "Everyone is very kind to me. I have now mastered the first two forms of the Flying Sword. Life here is also very good. The food is delicious and the dormitory is very comfortable."

"That's good." Harunobu nodded, and seeing that Tsuchimikado Haru's status bar had changed to "Confused," he decided to ask anyway—after all, Haru was his disciple.

Besides, I'm just idling around anyway.

"Ms. Tsuchimikado, if you don't mind, could you tell me about your troubles?"

Harunobu's direct question surprised Tsuchimikado Haru, causing her small body to tremble slightly. Moreover, due to Harunobu's wicked words, she subconsciously considered whether to tell Harunobu, rather than whether to admit whether she had any troubles.

A moment later, Tsuchimikado Haru, who had been struggling with this for several days and had just experienced a shock to her worldview at noon, chose to confess her dilemma to Harunobu.

Little Waste Stone clenched his soft fists, deliberately placing them in front of his chest, then looked up at Harunobu: "Teacher, I want to know if there's any way I can improve faster, like Sachiko-nee and Nana-nee!"

"You mentioned in the teacher's college, right? I have great talent! But in reality, my progress is not only slower than that of Sachiko-nee and Amu-nee, but even slower than that of Nana-nee."

As she spoke, the little girl's cherry-like lips drooped, and her once bright and lively eyes were now filled with a pent-up anxiety and melancholy. She seemed like a once lively and adorable kitten who had become timid and shy after being abandoned by her owner, looking pitifully at passersby with her last bit of hope, yearning for a little warmth.

Even though Harunobu spends every day cuddling the world's cutest kitten and is bombarded with cuteness every day, he still felt a pang of tenderness looking at the pitiful Tsuchimikado Haru. Besides, he had originally intended to resolve his disciple's troubles.

However, her problem is indeed a bit difficult to solve.

Because her talent has nothing to do with swordsmanship; she's more like a white mage. If it weren't for being listed as a disciple and enjoying the full dojo bonus, her progress would be even slower.

Harunobu simply sat cross-legged on the corridor, looking directly into Tsuchimikado Haru's eyes: "Your progress is already very fast, far surpassing others. Mieko and Shibaya were much slower than you back then."

Not to mention the usual bonuses, they didn't get as many bonuses when they first joined.

Tsuchimikado Haru pursed his lips, cautiously glancing at Harunobu's expression. Only after confirming he wasn't angry did he speak, "But compared to Nana-nee..."

Harunobu was a little embarrassed, but he had nothing to say. After all, that lazy dog ​​Hanazawa Nana was indeed progressing faster—she at least had an R-rank talent that could enhance the learning efficiency of Flow Sword Technique by 10%. And while this lazy dog ​​looked lazy, she simply hadn't been actively practicing extra; she still hadn't missed her daily practice sessions.

Seeing that Harunobu tacitly approved of her statement, Tsuchimikado Haru felt slightly relieved and cautiously continued, "Besides, Shibaya-nee and the others sometimes progress faster than me, it's just... it's just that they're following you, Master..."

The little girl stammered for a long time, her face so red that it overshadowed the moonlight, and she still couldn't finish her sentence, but Harunobu had already understood.

Well, most of the dojo facilities at Aozorakan currently provide passive bonuses, such as the main dojo and the training ground. However, some bonuses require active activation. For example, the Benkei Bridge requires a battle to activate, and the Inagawa Hot Spring requires soaking for a certain amount of time.

Furthermore, the [Massage Room] requires a proper massage from the instructor to activate its temporary bonus effect. A level 3 massage room can provide a bonus ranging from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 50%, depending on the massage time and the area being massaged. Even those not on the disciple roster, who only receive half the bonus, still get a 5% to 25% bonus!

Everything else is fine, though. Massage is a romantic gesture for wives, something both partners enjoy. But for ordinary disciples... well...

Qingxin scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that there was no more fun, the dim moon retreated behind its veil of darkness and began to doze off. In the night, past early spring, the chirping of insects and the calls of birds began to fill the air. The expectant look on Tsuchimikado Haru's face gradually faded, replaced by a polite smile.

She bowed slightly and said in a sweet voice, "Excuse me, Teacher, I just remembered I haven't finished my practice..."

"Ah—" Harunobu let out a long, self-deprecating sound, feeling a sense of guilt, interrupting Tsuchimikado Haru's seemingly close but actually distant farewell. "I'll tell you—but you asked this yourself, so don't blame me later!"

Haru Tsuchimikado's eyes lit up again: "Hi! Teacher's College!"
