"Do you want to come in and sit for a while? There's some fruit left over from yesterday in the refrigerator."
"Hmm, I'm intruding." Maki Zenin took off her shoes and walked into the room.
"It's nothing, we're all classmates anyway, there's no such thing as intruding."
Yuuki didn't close the door, put the lunch box on the table and started eating.
Looking at Maki Zenin, who was sitting on the bed, he asked, "Maki, did you come all the way here just to deliver a meal?"
Maki Zenin glanced at Yuuki, and asked in an undeniable tone, "Can't I?"
"How could I say you can't? You saved my life, I would have starved to death if you came any later."
"Hmph!"
Maki Zenin snorted lightly, and began to get to the point, "Can you really beat Megumi Fushiguro? Aren't you just talking big?"
"A little bit, after all, it's embarrassing to lose to a junior."
"…"
"I'm really giving up on you. You're usually so shameless, why did you suddenly get a whim today?"
Looking at Yuuki, who was slurping noodles with immersion, Maki Zenin had a feeling of hating iron for not becoming steel.
He was in such a crisis, but he could still eat. She then slapped him and asked, "What are your chances of winning?"
"Cough cough cough!"
Yuuki, who had been interrupted from eating noodles, almost choked to death, held up four fingers and said, "Fo… forty percent. If you can teach me swordsmanship today, then I'll have fifty percent."
"Fifty percent, huh? Forget it, I'll just let you have my swordsmanship for cheap. Come with me, and don't blame me for looking down on you if you lose."
After Maki Zenin finished speaking, she dragged Yuuki away.
"Wait, I haven't finished eating!"
Yuuki hugged the lunch box and started gobbling it up. He hadn't felt it before, but when he saw the food, his stomach couldn't help but get hungry.
Plus, he had vomited everything in his stomach this morning due to nausea, so he was even more hungry at this moment.
"It's not urgent to eat after you've finished learning. If I wasn't afraid that you would lose and embarrass us, I wouldn't teach you swordsmanship."
Maki Zenin didn't give him any chance to refute, put on her shoes and dragged him out of the room.
…
At the training ground.
Yuuki sat to the side, watching Maki Zenin quickly swinging the long sword in her hand in front of him, and the Sharingan was recording everything.
Although he would never know if it was effective without a practical battle, his body obviously didn't allow him to have a practical battle at this moment.
He could only record it, recall it, and let these things become his brain's instincts.
There were no fancy skills, each move was so simple and unadorned, but just these things were full of the texture of power.
Unlike the all-or-nothing wide-open movements of the naginata, Maki Zenin was more like teaching him how to create opportunities for counterattacks in defense at this moment.
As expected of a cursed tool expert, Maki Zenin.
The things she taught were simple and easy to understand. If he could apply them flexibly, then his chances of winning wouldn't just be fifty percent, but sixty percent.
After all, everything was futile under these eyes.
The reason why his chances of winning were low was because he had too little physical strength and cursed energy, and Megumi Fushiguro was also a summoner, so it was easy to be dragged into a drawn-out battle, leading to a shortage of cursed energy in his body.
…
The next day.
As the sound of "ding-a-ling" echoed in his ears, Yuuki opened his eyes and looked at the rising sun outside the window.
He got up and moved his body a few times, and found that he didn't have as much soreness as yesterday.
He exclaimed, "My body is recovering pretty well. After today's practical training, it'll be time to spar with Megumi Fushiguro tomorrow. To be honest, I'm looking forward to it a little!"
After putting on his clothes and washing up simply, he picked up the long sword that was placed on the table and left directly.
Perhaps it was because of yesterday, but everyone who was originally still sleeping was training early at this moment, only Panda was sitting to the side shouting "come on!"
Looking at the three people running around the training ground, Yuuki wanted to go back and see if he had set the alarm clock to the wrong time.
It was well known that Maki Zenin got up early, but Yuta Okkotsu and Toge Inumaki could be considered to be training early.
Panda, you don't even exercise, did you get up early just to shout "come on" for them?
"…"
How hurtful.
"Yo! Yuuki, you're really late, we were just waiting for you, quickly follow the main group to run!"
Panda waved his hand and shouted loudly.
"You don't run, so you don't have the right to talk about me! And I got up very early!"
After Yuuki retorted, he put the long sword on the ground, stretched his body a few times, and then ran with the three of them.
After running five laps and warming up, it was time for the so-called practical training, which was also the reason why Panda, Yuta, and Toge got up so early, they wanted to see Yuuki's strength.
"How many minutes do you think Yuuki can last under Maki's hands?"
Panda asked in a low voice.
Yuta Okkotsu recalled what he looked like when he was beaten up before, and then considering that Yuuki's practical talent was stronger than him, he said uncertainly, "Ten minutes?"
"Fish flakes."
Toge Inumaki said in a negating tone.
"Practical training generally doesn't last that long, Maki didn't use any special effort because she was teaching you, otherwise Yuta, you would have been defeated in an instant."
Just as Panda finished explaining, Toge Inumaki chimed in: "Salmon."
"Eh! Is that so? I'm a little sad T_T."
Yuta Okkotsu looked at the two people in the center of the field, his eyes full of longing, pinched the ring on his right ring finger, and said in a low voice, "Rika, I will definitely dissolve your curse and set you free."
In the field.
The two people were holding long swords and looking at each other, this was a contest between "teacher and student", and it was also a necessary training on Yuuki's path to growth.
As a breeze blew, Maki Zenin exerted force on her legs, and rushed straight over like an arrow.
Here it comes!
Yuuki's internal alarm bells rang loudly, and his scarlet Sharingan was displayed in everyone's eyes. He grasped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and swung it with all his might.
The things that Maki Zenin had taught him yesterday had been watched hundreds of times in his mind, and had long since formed muscle memory.
When to swing the sword, what to do, all appeared in his mind.
At this moment, he only needed to follow his instincts!
"Clang! Clang! Clang…"
The crisp sound rang in everyone's ears, and the initial collision between the two people surprised the three people watching on the side.
They were actually evenly matched!
Maki Zenin's eyes were sharp, and the angle of her swings was extremely tricky, but none of them broke through his defense.
She couldn't help but admire Yuuki's perversion in her heart. It wasn't something that anyone could learn just by wanting to learn it.
Although she herself learned pretty quickly too, right…
But her super high athletic talent and strong physique were all abilities that she was born with.
Although he had learned well, she still had to suppress him hard!
"Clang!"
The power had become stronger!
Faced with this sudden sense of oppression, Yuuki was directly forced to kneel on the ground on one knee.
At this moment, besides using cursed energy to activate the Sharingan, he hadn't used it to strengthen his body.
And the meaning of practical combat was right here.
Only a strong physique could maintain high-intensity battles, after all, he had very little cursed energy in his body, and he wouldn't know how he died if he ran out of it later!
"Is this all you've got? Your body is really weak!"
Maki Zenin's voice echoed in his ears, and these words seemed to hit a sore spot, making Yuuki's heart full of mixed feelings.
He was really sorry that his body was weak…
If it wasn't for the system's strengthening, he would have been rolling on the ground long ago.
No, maybe his hands would have been broken.
But this was just the beginning!
"I haven't lost yet!"
The veins on Yuuki's forehead bulged, and he slowly got up, resisting Maki Zenin's strong pressure.
Just as he got up to prove that he wasn't weak, a foot directly kicked him away, and Maki Zenin complained, "If you haven't lost, then you haven't lost, why are you shouting so loudly?"
…
"What do you say, the atmosphere here is very good, right."
Gojo Satoru, who was standing in the dormitory building and watching the people at the training ground, said with a smile on his face.
"Hmm, but is that why you knocked on my door for two minutes? It's only 5:50 in the morning now, if you're not sleeping, don't delay my sleep."
Megumi Fushiguro stared at Gojo Satoru with malice in his eyes.
He was originally sleeping well, but he was as if he was sick, knocking on the door loudly early in the morning, and shouting loudly. If he could beat him, he would definitely kill him!
"Oh dear, young people shouldn't be so hot-tempered. Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health. After all, I'm your future teacher."
"Aren't you teaching them? If you also take over the first year next year, won't you be too busy?"
It won't be, by the time they're in the second year, it means that everything that needs to be taught has been taught.
Then I can just give them a few missions to exorcise cursed spirits and send them away, and then I'll have time to teach you. What do you think, isn't it very worry-free?
"…"
If I was in the first year at this moment, I might slash you.
Megumi Fushiguro looked at the two people who were fighting back and forth in the training ground, and remained silent.
He had already boasted so much, he couldn't lose no matter what tomorrow.
"I'm going back to sleep."
"So fast?"
Gojo Satoru glanced at Megumi Fushiguro, who was leaving, and said, "Don't be so arrogant.
Sometimes, feeling out the other person can increase your chances of winning, after all, anyone can capsize in the gutter."
