We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

However, after he completed the same set of actions again, his experience bar only increased slightly.

"It seems that one also needs to rely on their own understanding; it's not that every set of movements will have the same increase."

After all, the panel is just a feedback on your progress, and it cannot directly teach you a certain skill.

"continue."

Snapped.

Snapped--

As he practiced again and again, the sound of his footsteps and stomping echoed throughout the cramped living room.

When Nan Yun Yuyue stopped to check her skill panel again, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"It must be Xiao Xiang who's back."

Nanon Ugetsu closed the panel displaying 【Kendo LV1 (164/1000)】 and opened the apartment door.

Chapter 169 Kendo Practice, Kassel College Admissions Meeting

Nanon Ugetsu pushed open the door, and Toyokawa Shoko was standing in the doorway.

Upon seeing the door open, a smile involuntarily appeared on Toyokawa Shoko's face:

"I am back."

"Perfect timing, I'll start preparing dinner now."

Nanyun Yuyue said.

He glanced at Toyokawa Shoko's face subconsciously, but didn't notice anything unusual.

As he walked toward the kitchen, he casually asked:

"By the way, Xiao Xiang, did Xiao Mu say anything to you?"

Although it was Toyokawa Shoko who wanted to say something to Komugi, he deliberately reversed the word order.

Toyokawa Shoko said:

"I simply told her... that I have already activated 'spiritual vision'."

"Apart from that, there is nothing else."

"But since Xiao Mu is also a mixed-race person, I don't want to hide this from her."

"it is good."

Nan Yun Yuyue felt a little relieved, and at that moment she stepped into the kitchen.

"In that case... we in Class C... can be said to know each other's mixed-race identities."

He pondered for a moment, then opened the refrigerator door to see if there were any suitable ingredients inside.

"I haven't gone shopping for several days, and this is all that's left."

Nan Yun Yuyue frowned as she stared at the meager contents of the refrigerator.

In the refrigerator compartment, there was only half a box of tofu, a small bag of sliced ​​pork belly, a few carrots, a bunch of scallions, and a small bag of rice. In the freezer compartment, there were a few pieces of frozen salmon and a bag of frozen edamame.

The seasonings were all there: soy sauce, mirin, miso, kelp, and the bonito flakes he had bought earlier.

The usual breakfasts and school lunches already use up a lot of ingredients. If they hadn't bought dinner outside last night, they probably wouldn't have had enough ingredients for today.

"Okay, these are the ones."

He rolled up his sleeves, turned around, and walked to the pool.

The tap was running, and he used his left hand to slam the cutting board onto the stove.

Nan Yun Yuyue quickly rinsed the rice, then put it into the rice cooker and set the program.

He then immediately began preparing other ingredients... peeling and shredding the carrots, marinating the pork belly with mirin before cooking, and cutting the tofu into small cubes to make miso soup.

After doing all this, he put oil in the pan and poured in the pork belly.

"Scallions...shredded carrots..."

Nan Yun Yuyue laid the prepared ingredients on top of the meat and then covered the pot with the lid.

Time passed by minute by minute.

While waiting, he quickly made a bowl of miso soup.

"It's almost time."

Nan Yun Yuyue glanced at the time.

In the stew pot, the carrots and pork belly have changed color, and the broth has thickened slightly, giving it an appealing appearance.

The rice was cooked by then. He picked up two bowls, scooped out the rice, put the pork belly into a plate, sprinkled some shichimi togarashi (seven-spice powder), and then carried them to the table one by one.

"It smells good."

Despite having already witnessed Nagumo Ugetsu's culinary skills, Toyokawa Shoko was still somewhat surprised.

"Yuyue, how long have you been learning to cook?"

“From the time I started living alone until now.”

Nan Yun Yuyue sat down and stretched out her chopsticks.

"Living alone, how can I manage if I don't know how to cook? Besides, ordering takeout in Tokyo is much more expensive."

"How about trying this dish?"

He was very confident in his cooking skills.

After all, this is a [Cooking Skill Lv4] personally certified by the panel. Even if it can't compare to those master chefs who have been immersed in the culinary arts for many years, it is still much better than ordinary restaurants.

"It's really delicious."

Toyokawa Shoko took a bite, and her eyes lit up immediately.

The two began to devour the food in a whirlwind.

Since truly stepping into the world of mixed-race people, Toyokawa Shoko has found that her appetite has increased significantly.

It's as if her physical fitness has improved, so has her energy expenditure. Now, her appetite is almost twice what it was in the old Furukawa Garden.

In no time, all the plates on the table had been cleared out.

Toyokawa Shoko stood up, helped put the plates back in the kitchen, and then washed them clean.

After she finished washing up and dried her hands, Nanon Ugetsu began practicing kendo footwork again.

Step forward, retreat, shift to the side, change position, take a false step, sweep diagonally, leap... all done in one smooth motion.

Toyokawa Shoko happened to see him perform the entire set of movements and was immediately surprised.

"They've made such rapid progress."

She thought to herself:

"So this is the inheritor of the imperial bloodline... Master Uesugi only taught it once, yet he has mastered this footwork to such a high level."

"I'm back from the live house today, and it's time to start my daily training."

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko was looking at her, Nagumo Ugetsu finished the set of footwork she was doing and then stopped.

Kendo LV1 (192/1000)

"I guess this is the limit of today's practice."

Nan Yun Yu Yue Xin Dao.

At first, his footwork proficiency improved by two points after completing just the first set of movements. However, the improvement became slower and slower, and it only improved by one point after three sets, with the increase continuing to decline.

"Without Master Uesugi by my side to guide my movements today, it's not bad that I was able to improve my proficiency to 192."

"After his next guidance, my progress will be even faster."

Then, Nangumo Ugetsu stood aside and began to instruct Toyokawa Shoko on her movements.

"Let's start with the basic steps."

"Step forward, then retreat."

"Shift to the side!"

"Lower your center of gravity a bit."

"Pay attention to the rhythm, and don't stay airborne for too long after jumping."

Forward, backward, quick steps, rotation, shifting, and separation—the rhythm of the entire footwork becomes faster and faster.

Toyokawa Shoko gritted her teeth and persevered.

"Faster!"

Nan Yun Yuyue suddenly shouted in a deep voice.

Shoko Toyokawa instinctively lunged forward, pushing off the ground with her toes, and with a whoosh, she lunged out, cutting right into the gap that had been left earlier.

"It's much better than before."

Nan Yun Yu Yue praised.

Toyokawa Shoko's progress was equally rapid. After all, as a high-level hybrid, she had extremely coordinated control over her body, so learning sword footwork was naturally not too difficult for her.

Toyokawa Shoko took a breath.

After the intense practice, she felt completely drenched in sweat.

Sweat beads slid down his forehead, then rolled down his neck and into his collar.

After practicing for nearly fifteen more minutes, Toyokawa Shoko's breathing began to become erratic.

"Come again."

She forced herself to perform each movement to a high standard, but she still gradually became physically exhausted.

Tap—tap—tap!

She completed the last set of steps before her body finally reached its limit, and then began to gasp for breath.

"call--"

"Phew... I feel like if I keep practicing... I'm going to collapse on the ground."

"Take a break."

Nan Yunyu walked to her side and reached out to tap the inside of her knee.

"It's good that you're not injured. Training until you strain yourself and then resting will only slow you down."

"Ah."

Toyokawa Shoko rubbed her calves.

"There are still some shortcomings..."

She recalled her movements just now and felt that some parts were not quite coherent enough.

"Practice a few more times later."

Toyokawa Shoko thought to himself.

Time passed by with each practice session.

Night gradually fell, covering the entire city. The moon was mostly obscured by clouds, and not a single star could be seen.

The night is deep.

the other side,

Shisen Tsuzuki has just returned to his residence in Tokyo.

"Lena should be asleep by now."

She was thinking this before pushing open the door.
