With Mary and Masumi, two outsiders, present, Ran and the other girls remained very conservative. Faced with Yuu Hoshimiya's flirting, he received nothing more than a few glamorous, rolling eyes.
As for Mary and Masumi, although they were happy, they did not let their guard down.
If they were the type to lose their alertness so easily, the mother and daughter would have died during their time on the run long ago.
With everyone showing restraint, Yuu couldn't stir up any trouble on his own.
Thus, the welcome feast ended both lively and peacefully.
The next day, everyone's life returned to its usual trajectory.
Mary and Masumi moving into the 28th floor had almost no impact on Yuu and the others; and having just moved in, the duo felt no different than when they were wandering from place to place.
Around eight in the morning, after seeing the women off to work and school, Yuu picked up his jacket, planning to head to the Metropolitan Police Department for his daily check-in.
Arriving at the underground parking and taking the driver's seat of his Lexus, Noah notified him that Kazumi Tsukamoto had sent a message.
Yuu placed a lot of importance on this particular disciple.
Strictly speaking, Ran Mouri was Yuu's first disciple, followed by Kazuha Toyoyama.
But their pursuit and love for martial arts were far behind Kazumi Tsukamoto's; for them, guidance was more like a leisurely activity to kill time.
Kazumi Tsukamoto was different.
Her connection with Yuu originated from a master-disciple relationship, specifically regarding martial arts instruction.
She was also the first one to proactively request to become his disciple.
Therefore, it was perfectly accurate to call Kazumi Tsukamoto his Chief Disciple.
Kazumi was not only talented and diligent, but she also highly respected the master-disciple bond.
As long as Yuu made a request, she would work hard to cooperate.
Various plays, various locations, various positions—almost everything that could be unlocked had already been unlocked.
Of course, Yuu had given her corresponding rewards for her hard work and dedication.
Leaving the effects of dual cultivation aside, Kazumi's technical progress was also rapid.
Just yesterday, Kazumi had achieved an overwhelming victory.
It wasn't a national tournament, just an exchange match, but the quality of her opponent was high.
The opponent was the Karate Club of Haido High School.
Hina Wada, who had once suppressed Ran during the last national tournament and almost won the championship, was one of the participants.
In the end, during the exchange match, both Ran and Kazumi defeated her with ease.
It was so effortless that Ran hadn't even mentioned it during dinner talk last night.
Hina Wada was shocked and confused by the sudden, massive leap in strength shown by the two girls.
She was also a competitive and strong-willed beauty.
Lying in bed that night, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she felt to accept it. She proactively sought out Kazumi Tsukamoto, hoping to learn how they had become so strong.
After being worn down all night, Kazumi finally ran out of options with Hina, which is why she messaged Yuu first thing in the morning.
Pondering in his car for a moment, Yuu edited a message and replied.
He had some impression of Hina Wada; she was a quite cute beauty with excellent talent in martial arts.
She appeared before the gears of fate began to turn, yet it took over a thousand episodes for her to show her face a second time in the latest movie.
Yuu implemented his long-standing policy: since she had delivered herself to his door, he didn't mind taking the time to claim her.
Therefore, he told Kazumi Tsukamoto to tell Hina Wada the truth.
As for whether Hina would believe such a ridiculous story, or if she would accept Yuu's "guidance," that would depend on her own choice.
If Hina Wada refused, Yuu wouldn't lose anything—it would only cost him a few minutes of his time.
Surprisingly, after two minutes, Kazumi replied with a voice message that surprised Yuu.
"Teacher Hoshimiya, she agreed. We'll meet at the dojo in a bit."
Listening to Kazumi's voice, which carried a hint of helplessness and resentment, Yuu smiled slightly. He started the car and drove directly toward the Suzuki Manor.
As for checking in at the MPD...
That was optional. Nothing was more important than giving personal guidance to a beautiful girl.
Half an hour later, at the private martial arts hall of the Suzuki Manor.
Yuu, who had already changed into his training gear and waited for a while, saw two girls in high school uniforms walk in.
The tall one, radiating a cool and heroic aura, was naturally Kazumi Tsukamoto.
Beside her was a JK with a cute face, sharp shoulder-length black hair, and a serious, disciplined expression.
With a high-bridged nose and an exquisite face, she was incredibly beautiful—a girl of extreme self-confidence.
This was the "troublesome junior" Kazumi had mentioned, Hina Wada.
Hina Wada looked at the luxurious private dojo with slight surprise before putting down her schoolbag and bending over to remove her shoes.
Today was naturally not a holiday, but for the sake of her obsession, Hina had taken a leave of absence.
Consequently, Kazumi Tsukamoto also had to take the day off.
Facing the "facts" Kazumi had told her, Hina certainly wasn't foolish enough to believe them directly.
She suspected Kazumi simply didn't want to reveal the secret and had made up a story to brush her off.
But was she that easy to fool?
After a bit of thought, Hina decided to play along.
Regardless of whether what Kazumi said was true or false, she had to see it with her own eyes to make a proper judgment.
If it was fake, she would keep pestering Kazumi until she found out how they got strong so fast.
If it were actually true...
Then she wasn't entirely unwilling to get "naughty" in exchange for power!
The two JK beauties took off their shoes and socks, walking onto the dojo floor barefoot.
Hina Wada looked at Yuu Hoshimiya, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, and asked with slight doubt, "Tsukamoto-senpai, this young, handsome guy is the... very powerful master you mentioned?"
"Mmm."
Kazumi Tsukamoto nodded, a bit surprised that Hina Wada didn't recognize Yuu.
She introduced him: "This is my master, Yuu Hoshimiya. He used to be a teacher at our school but has since resigned. He is a special consultant for the Metropolitan Police Department. He's not only a genius at solving cases, but he is also incredibly strong in martial arts."
Hina Wada frowned. She seemed to have heard the name, but she truly didn't pay much attention to detective stories or deductions.
Even though this was a world where logic and deduction were supreme, not everyone cared for it.
Out of ten people, there were always one or two who had no interest in that field.
Compared to deductions, Hina cared more about the "dual cultivation" and guidance Kazumi had mentioned.
She had originally expected Kazumi's master to be some old man who had immersed himself in martial arts for decades, but she hadn't expected such a young, handsome, and dashing man.
If the partner is such a handsome big brother, even if I'm being tricked, it doesn't seem like something unacceptable.
Hina thought to herself, her face reddening as she looked at Yuu.
Seeing the girl's blushing cheeks, Yuu knew the situation was secure.
Sometimes, one has to admit that people are visual creatures; looks and charm are truly important.
If nothing else, relying on his personal charm, he was playing the game of "conquering girls" on Easy Difficulty.
After a moment, Hina Wada composed her scattered thoughts and greeted him, "Hello, Teacher Hoshimiya!"
Although she didn't mind something happening with Yuu, she hadn't forgotten her original intention.
Improving her strength came first.
Yuu understood her thoughts. Personal charm reduced the difficulty of the conquest, but success ultimately depended on raw power.
He nodded to Hina Wada. "In a moment, you'll spar with Kazumi. I'll provide guidance from the side."
Hina was very decisive. After nodding, she went to the locker room with Kazumi to change into their training uniforms.
Soon, the two emerged from the locker room, both dressed in white martial arts gi.
Yuu couldn't help but look over in surprise. Wearing the conservative high school uniform earlier, it was impossible to tell.
Hina Wada, now in her Karate gi, actually had a pair of large breasts, no less impressive than Kazumi's.
Come to think of it, Ran's chest wasn't small either...
Does practicing Karate have a breast-enhancement effect?
Yuu was momentarily lost in thought over this question, his gaze lingering.
Girls are exceptionally sensitive to such looks. Hina Wada keenly noticed Yuu's gaze.
Beyond her embarrassment, she felt a strange sense of happiness in her heart.
Soon, the two women stood in their positions on the dojo floor.
Standing on opposite sides, they bowed to each other and assumed their stances.
The aura of the two women began to rise. Hina Wada's expression grew increasingly stern.
Kazumi Tsukamoto, however, had a slight smile on her face.
They had already fought yesterday, and they simply weren't on the same level. Thus, Kazumi was perfectly composed.
In contrast, the fighting spirit in Hina Wada's eyes continued to climb.
Unfortunately, while fighting spirit and "power-ups" can boost combat ability, the outcome was predetermined under the weight of absolute stats.
Facing Kazumi Tsukamoto, who was stronger in power, speed, flexibility, and technique, Hina had almost no room to resist.
About fifteen minutes later, Hina, who had been struggling to maintain her defense, was knocked to the floor by Kazumi's three consecutive spinning kicks.
Yuu immediately trotted forward, placing his large hand on Hina's body. Fortunately, she wasn't injured.
Kazumi's control over her strength was extremely refined; the three spinning kicks had merely knocked Hina down without hurting her.
"Wada-san, Kazumi, take a break. I've prepared water for you over there!"
Yuu helped Hina up, while simultaneously pointing out some of the errors she had made during the fight.
Hina listened intently while drinking water.
She admitted that Yuu really had something; his advice was spot-on and very helpful.
But this was still just theoretical talk.
To thoroughly determine if Yuu Hoshimiya was qualified to be her master—to intimately help her improve her physical stats and guide her combat techniques...
Hina felt she needed to experience it for herself.
Therefore, after she had rested, she challenged him: "Teacher Hoshimiya, let's have a spar as well!"
Yuu wasn't surprised. He had personally beaten Kazumi Tsukamoto into submission before she proactively asked to become his disciple.
"Alright."
Yuu nodded in agreement and stood ready in the center of the dojo.
"Begin."
As Kazumi, acting as the referee, dropped her hand, the match officially started.
Yuu walked slowly toward Hina Wada. With every step, his aura rose a level. His eyes were cold and sharp, his presence as deep as an abyss.
He naturally couldn't use his full strength, but even using one-tenth of it was a height Hina Wada could only dream of reaching.
Hina felt as if she were being watched by a pack of wolves. She instinctively sensed danger, her heart filled with shock.
Someone with this kind of aura was definitely a grandmaster. Fighting spirit flared in her eyes.
Hina took a deep breath and immediately lunged forward.
She started with a straight punch.
She was exceptionally confident in her strength, specializing in "using brute force to crush all techniques"!
Yuu didn't even assume a stance. He slapped her fist with his palm, and Hina's right arm immediately trembled and fell back.
Yuu instantly calculated that this power was about twice the peak state of a normal person.
It was hard to believe a high school girl possessed such strength.
But considering this was the Conan world, where dodging bullets and breaking telephone poles were routine, Yuu took it in stride.
Hina soon pressed in again, launching a fast offensive: straight punches, hook punches, hammer fists, hand chops...
She constantly shifted her techniques, moving around Yuu like a white butterfly!
Unfortunately, she couldn't even touch the hem of Yuu's clothes.
In the end, Hina was panting heavily, sweat dripping from her forehead, her purple eyes fixed on Yuu.
She had already sensed the gap in their strength, but she would remain unsatisfied without seeing Yuu actually make a move.
Yuu saw what she was thinking and decided to show off a little.
He smiled slightly and beckoned the panting girl with a finger.
Hina took a deep breath, adjusted her posture, and attacked once more.
She lunged forward, her right hook aimed at Yuu's temple.
Yuu didn't dodge. Moving second but arriving first, he snapped his three middle fingers together and thrust out a Spear Hand (Nukite).
He jabbed directly into her right shoulder.
Hina immediately felt a surge of numbness in her shoulder, and her right arm fell limp.
The Spear Hand technique shared similarities with Chinese acupressure.
In Japan, the most famous master of the Spear Hand (fingers) was probably Taka Kato!
The name of "Taka Kato's hand" made countless women tremble in fear.
Yuu's Spear Hand was in no way inferior to Kato's. With one strike, over half of Hina's right side went limp.
Yet she didn't give up, using her left hand like a blade to chop at Yuu's neck.
Yuu stepped to the side and delivered another Spear Hand strike, aimed directly at the ribs under her armpit.
However, he hadn't expected to hit her soft breast instead; the "vulgar" amount of breast tissue happened to block the intended pressure point!
Yuu was stunned for a second, finding the scene strangely familiar.
Similarly, Kazumi Tsukamoto, watching from the side, found it incredibly familiar as well.
Isn't this exactly what happened the first time she sparred with Teacher Hoshimiya!
It was practically a perfect re-enactment...
But it wasn't strange. Karate moves were limited, and the effective, powerful ones were almost all the same.
Hina Wada had used the same technique Kazumi had back then, so it was only natural for Yuu to respond with the same counter.
Though, once is a coincidence; twice is clearly intentional.
In truth, Yuu had done it on purpose.
With his level of power, how could he not have accounted for such an accident?
But free feels are better than no feels; consider it a bit of interest collected in advance.
After she officially became his disciple, he would devour her completely anyway.
Hina Wada also felt that Yuu had done it on purpose.
Having a sensitive spot attacked, she looked ashamed and angry, her dark eyes glaring at Yuu.
Yuu said without a shred of sincerity, "My apologies. I didn't expect you to be so large; I thought I wouldn't hit it!"
Hina became even angrier and attacked again in a fit of rage.
She lifted her right leg, twisted her body, and launched a spinning whirlwind kick at Yuu's head. The leg technique was incredibly fast.
Unfortunately, it was like a snail's pace before Yuu's maxed-out speed.
Yuu snatched her fair ankle out of the air.
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed Hina away, where she landed on the white dojo mat.
It was still exactly the same as how he'd dealt with Kazumi Tsukamoto.
Hina's reaction was also identical to Kazumi's back then. Feeling resentful, she rose for a sneak attack the moment Yuu turned his back.
Hearing the sound of breaking wind, Yuu wasn't angry; instead, a smile curled on his lips.
Beside them, Kazumi Tsukamoto already had her hand over her face.
She saw her own past "dark history" being repeated in Hina Wada, and she knew the "spring scenery" of this troublesome junior was about to be fully exposed.
Yuu didn't look back. He spun around instantly, blocking the long leg kicked his way!
He gave a pull along the path of the kick, and Hina immediately lost her balance, falling toward him.
Yuu's hands immediately grabbed her lapels, using his shoulder to hoist her body up!
With a beautiful and perfect Over-the-Shoulder Throw, Hina's body flew high into the air before slamming heavily onto the dojo mat. Her body bounced several times against the soft surface.
The impact loosened the front of her gi. In that instant, Yuu saw the heaving, white "spring scenery" within.
Mmm, that's right. In the privacy of the dojo, with her mind and body relaxed, Hina Wada hadn't worn a bra under her training uniform.
Of course, Yuu had factored this into his calculations long ago.
Hina lay on the ground moaning softly, completely unaware of her exposure.
Kazumi Tsukamoto finally suppressed the shame of her own memories and stepped forward to help Hina.
She was her junior, after all, and would likely become her fellow disciple.
How close? The kind of "closeness" that involved sharing a single rod!
Hiss!!!
Hina Wada clutched her lower back, drawing a sharp breath of pain. Even with the soft padding of the floor, she was quite badly hurt.
She was helped off the mat by Kazumi.
Seeing the returning Hina in this state, Yuu chuckled. "Wada-san, a true martial artist does not resort to sneak attacks!"
At this moment, Hina Wada had none of her previous bravado. She lay slumped on the floor, but the gaze she turned toward Yuu was now filled with worship.
Hina had finally experienced Yuu Hoshimiya's true power.
She said excitedly, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Teacher Hoshimiya! Please, you must take me as your disciple! I want to become strong like Tsukamoto-senpai and Ran!"
Knowing that Hina wanted to become his disciple, Yuu—just like he had with Kazumi—deliberately created a "healing session" opportunity.
He had specifically used magic to cushion her during the throw.
That kind of intimate physical contact was great for building favorability and could greatly accelerate the "conquest" speed.
But Hina didn't need it; he didn't want to waste the time.
His goal was a speed-run.
If possible, he hoped that every fated woman he met from now on would proactively throw themselves at him. He only needed to be responsible for staying "hard."
Some might say that would get boring, but Yuu didn't think so.
It was like picking up money. Would anyone actually get bored of finding money on the ground every day?
There should only be joy and anticipation!
Facing Hina Wada's request, Yuu naturally agreed.
However, having just become his disciple, it wasn't quite appropriate to start the "dual cultivation" immediately.
These things required the right atmosphere and a natural progression.
Looking at the blushing Hina Wada, Yuu proactively said, "Hina, rest for a bit, then spar with Kazumi."
"Today, I'll only guide you on technique. As for the dual cultivation to improve your physical stats, we'll discuss that later."
Hearing Yuu call her by her first name, Hina's heart fluttered. A surge of joy and sweetness rushed through her.
"Yes, Teacher Hoshimiya... No, Master! I will definitely get my mental preparation for SEX ready as soon as possible!"
Sex education in Japan was truly advanced; as a virgin JK beauty, she spoke of the act without excessive shyness.
Of course, it also had to do with her personality.
Boys and girls who practiced Karate every day were rarely introverted or excessively shy.
Subsequently, Hina Wada and Kazumi Tsukamoto walked back to the center of the dojo side-by-side.
With Kazumi intentionally lowering her stats, the two began to tangle once more, while Yuu shouted instructions from the side.
Looking at the two JK beauties before him, Yuu wore a satisfied expression.
These were his First and Second Disciples. Not only was their talent transcendent, but their personalities and integrity were excellent.
Especially in the area of "respecting the master," they were beyond reproach.
Although Hina Wada hadn't taken actual action yet, Yuu could already feel it from her words and behavior.
This Second Disciple would definitely not be inferior to the First. She might even be more proactive in "repaying" her master.
After all, the more dual cultivation they did, the faster their physical stats would improve!
