While Ran Mouri and Sumi Tsukamoto were resting, Yuu Hoshimiya constantly recalled and analyzed the sparring between the two just now.
In fact, Ran's current strength was not at all inferior to Sumi Tsukamoto's, but Ran was still suppressed throughout this sparring session.
Aside from the fact that Ran could only bring out her full strength when she "burst" with emotion, it also had a lot to do with the experience and mindset of the two.
Yuu Hoshimiya didn't teach Ran frequently, but at least Ran had someone guiding her.
In Teitan High School, there was truly no one who could guide Sumi Tsukamoto; she relied entirely on her own practice and participation in various competitions.
Whether it was karate or kendo, as long as it was a technique serving combat, actual combat was the fastest way to gain experience.
Especially in matches with rules, experience was often more important than pure technique.
Ran, who already had slightly inferior technique, was understandably suppressed by Sumi Tsukamoto when she couldn't utilize her overwhelming physical fitness.
While Yuu Hoshimiya silently recalled their sparring and thought about how to guide them later, Ran and Sumi Tsukamoto were also chatting.
"Ran, you've made great progress lately."
Sumi Tsukamoto wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and said with slight surprise: "Your power, speed, and technique are clearly much stronger than before. I couldn't reach this level at all last year."
Sumi Tsukamoto was a senior this year, and Ran was a junior. Her "last year" naturally referred to when she was the same age as Ran.
Although there was only a one-year difference, for geniuses, let alone a year, even a month could create a huge gap.
Sumi Tsukamoto took a sip of water and continued to sigh: "I thought you would slack off on karate after you started dating, but unexpectedly you've practiced even harder. It must have been very tough lately..."
After confirming her relationship with Yuu Hoshimiya, Ran had indeed decreased her karate practice.
The most obvious sign was that she didn't participate in club activities as much as before.
In Sumi Tsukamoto's view, Ran must have been working hard alone at home, which led to such great progress.
Ran was stunned, her pretty face turning slightly red as she subconsciously recalled various scenes of "exercising" with Yuu Hoshimiya.
The improvement in her physical fitness, including her technique, all benefited from Yuu Hoshimiya.
The former stemmed from dual cultivation, while the latter was from their occasional ambiguous private guidance.
It was just that every time the guidance reached the end, they inevitably engaged in the dual cultivation exercises that strengthened her physical fitness.
It was like this almost every day, sometimes even several times a day; it would be hard not to improve quickly.
But saying it was "tough" was indeed true; she was often tired to the point that her legs went soft, her waist ached, and she couldn't even stand up.
But... the pleasure was also real pleasure.
However, Ran had no way to explain this kind of "real pleasure exercise" to Sumi Tsukamoto in front of her.
And compared to Sumi Tsukamoto, who practiced diligently all the time, Ran felt like she was cheating and was too embarrassed to say it.
So, facing Sumi Tsukamoto's praise, she turned her head and hemmed and hawed to stall.
"Senior Sumi, Brother Yuu is actually a martial arts master. I was able to improve so quickly all thanks to his guidance. If you had someone to guide you too, you'd definitely progress even faster than me."
Ran naturally knew Sumi Tsukamoto's situation; she even knew that many strong karate schools had tried to recruit her.
In the end, because Teitan High School's sincerity in keeping her was full, and Sumi Tsukamoto herself was reluctant to leave her classmates and friends, she had stayed.
To be honest, this still hindered Sumi Tsukamoto's advancement in karate to some extent.
Although Ran didn't know that Yuu Hoshimiya already had the intention to guide Sumi Tsukamoto, she knew that Yuu didn't care about exposing his strength now, so she planned to take this opportunity to let Sumi Tsukamoto know how capable Yuu was.
It would be a reward for Sumi Tsukamoto's constant guidance and practice with her.
"Oh?" Sumi Tsukamoto's eyes lit up, "Teacher Hoshimiya is actually a martial arts master?"
Because of the incident in the girls' restroom that time, she knew Yuu Hoshimiya's physical fitness was very strong. She originally thought it was the result of Yuu's specific gym training just to fuck women...
Cough cough.
Now, learning from Ran that this young and handsome teacher—who was only five or six years older than herself—was actually a martial arts master, it immediately piqued her curiosity.
And, her competitive spirit.
The scenes from that time kept swirling in her mind, and while Sumi Tsukamoto felt shy and longing, she was also quite angry and annoyed.
Over time, whether it was longing or anger, it naturally got directed at Yuu Hoshimiya.
So, before Ran could even mention the idea of guidance, and before Yuu Hoshimiya could use guiding Ran as an excuse to guide Sumi Tsukamoto, Sumi Tsukamoto spoke first: "Teacher Hoshimiya, Ran says you're very strong and can guide her. I love testing myself against experts most. How about we have a sparring match!"
This challenge was half out of a genuine love for the craft and half because she wanted to vent her frustrations on Yuu Hoshimiya.
It was all because of Yuu Hoshimiya that since that day, the number of times Sumi Tsukamoto had to change her panties every morning had increased quite a bit.
Yuu Hoshimiya naturally heard the conversation between Ran and Sumi Tsukamoto, but while guidance was fine, sparring was out of the question.
With his current strength, unless he held back to the point of absurdity, wouldn't it just be purely bullying Sumi Tsukamoto...
"Student Tsukamoto, you're a girl and I'm a man. Our power levels aren't in the same league."
After a pause, Yuu Hoshimiya added: "And I prefer actual combat. I don't know those karate rules. It wouldn't be good if I accidentally hurt you."
Hearing Yuu Hoshimiya say he preferred actual combat, Sumi Tsukamoto became even more excited.
She gave a brilliant smile, "Teacher Hoshimiya, don't look down on me. I'm currently the number one in the Japanese high school girls' league. Except for that monster in Haido, I haven't lost to any other man, otherwise the karate captain of Teitan wouldn't be me."
"Teacher Hoshimiya, stop saying our power isn't on the same level. Come on, let me experience your great skills!"
Yuu Hoshimiya still shook his head and said: "You just had a match with Ran. It wouldn't be fair for me to fight you again. Let's just forget it!"
Hearing this, Sumi Tsukamoto couldn't help but scan Yuu Hoshimiya once, then shook her head and said: "Teacher Hoshimiya, you couldn't be scared after seeing my strength, could you!"
After speaking, Sumi Tsukamoto actually laughed.
Hearing such a blunt provocation, let alone Yuu Hoshimiya, even Ran revealed a speechless expression.
Speechless as it was, since Sumi Tsukamoto had said so, it would indeed seem bad for Yuu Hoshimiya to keep making excuses, so he simply agreed.
Yuu Hoshimiya straightened his clothes, walked into the dojo, and said calmly: "Let's be clear first, I'll go easy. Treat it as a coaching match."
"Coaching match..."
Sumi Tsukamoto murmured, her eyes becoming sharp.
In a coaching match, one side must have absolute strength over the other to be able to calmly receive and break moves while giving pointers.
Yuu Hoshimiya saying this clearly meant he felt she was absolutely no match for him.
For Sumi Tsukamoto to have her current strength, she definitely had a competitive spirit, and a large one at that.
On the path of martial arts, without a strong competitive spirit, one definitely won't go far.
Ran was completely suppressed by Sumi Tsukamoto partly because her competitive spirit wasn't strong.
Or rather, she had no competitive spirit at all.
Ran's personality was just like that—always gentle and considerate.
She could only bring out her full strength when her emotions were intensely volatile.
In short, "bursting out."
Although she didn't know why it had developed into this situation, Ran still blinked her "dot eyes" and yielded the floor.
However, she didn't go far, just in case other club members arrived and affected Yuu Hoshimiya and Sumi Tsukamoto's spar... coaching match.
Sumi Tsukamoto was slightly moved seeing such a confident Yuu Hoshimiya.
But on second thought, one monster like the one in Haido High School was already ridiculous enough; it was absolutely impossible for there to be a second one.
Moreover, if Yuu Hoshimiya's martial arts strength was really that strong, even if he didn't specialize in karate, she should have heard something about it.
But soon, Sumi Tsukamoto stopped thinking that way.
She saw Yuu Hoshimiya slowly walking towards her. With every step he took, his aura climbed one level. His eyes were cold and stern, and his aura was as deep as an abyss.
Before even engaging, Sumi Tsukamoto felt like she was being watched by a pack of wolves. She instinctively felt danger, and her heart was filled with amazement.
Is this still the state of holding back...
The feeling he gave her was already similar to the monster high schooler of Haido High, Makoto Kyogoku.
Sumi Tsukamoto took a deep breath and became completely serious.
Yuu Hoshimiya certainly wouldn't make the first move. If he did, it would be over in an instant, and then how could he provide guidance?
Seeing him not moving, Sumi Tsukamoto's eyes narrowed. She took a stance and then immediately charged forward.
Starting with a straight punch again, it was clear she was exceptionally confident in her own power, excelling at conquering all techniques with one force!
Yuu Hoshimiya didn't even take a stance. He slapped her fist with one palm, and Sumi Tsukamoto's right arm immediately trembled and fell back.
Yuu Hoshimiya instantly calculated that this power was about twice that of a normal adult in peak condition, and the hardness of her muscles and bones completely exceeded that of ordinary people.
Without a doubt, for Sumi Tsukamoto to be able to suppress Ran, she was also a high school girl who could easily shatter a utility pole with one punch.
Sumi Tsukamoto quickly closed in again and began a fast attack: straight punches, arc punches, iron hammers, hand chops...
She constantly changed her techniques, weaving around Yuu Hoshimiya's sides like a white butterfly!
Unfortunately, she couldn't even touch a corner of Yuu Hoshimiya's clothes. Instead, she was pointed out by Yuu from time to time for flaws in her movements.
Finally, Sumi Tsukamoto was panting heavily, sweat on her forehead, her purple eyes staring at Yuu Hoshimiya.
"Teacher Hoshimiya, you are indeed very strong, but if you only know how to dodge, you can't end this battle."
Looking at the still-determined Sumi Tsukamoto, Yuu Hoshimiya knew he had to show some real skill and let her suffer a bit of a setback.
"Alright, then I'll guide you head-on next."
As he spoke, he hooked his finger at the beautiful girl in front of him, as if calling and teasing a puppy.
Sumi Tsukamoto's breath hitched. While ashamed and annoyed, she immediately attacked again.
She stepped forward in a lunge, her right hand clenched. Her tender white little fist carried a fierce power as it swung in a half-moon towards Yuu Hoshimiya's forehead.
Yuu Hoshimiya didn't dodge or avoid it. Facing the whistling fierce wind, he quickly raised his hand and poked her right shoulder.
Sumi Tsukamoto immediately felt a burst of soreness and weakness in her right shoulder, and her right hand fell powerless.
This strike had a similar effect to pressure point striking, but scientifically explained, it attacked the nerve, forcibly and temporarily making Sumi Tsukamoto lose control of the right side of her body.
Losing control, relying solely on inertia, that tender white little fist had already completely deviated from its course, and even if it hit Yuu Hoshimiya, it would be no different from a tickle.
But Sumi Tsukamoto still didn't give up. Her left hand formed a blade, slicing towards Yuu Hoshimiya's neck.
Yuu Hoshimiya turned his body, raised his hand again, and struck directly at her ribs under the armpit.
He originally intended to repeat the trick, making Sumi Tsukamoto completely lose her mobility without getting injured.
But unexpectedly, due to the intense movement and the numbness of the right half of her body, Sumi Tsukamoto's busty breasts—which didn't match her figure—swung up and down, actually blocking his strike.
He failed to hit the armpit, but instead poked into a mass of soft meat with excellent elasticity.
And that mass of tender meat happened to block the pressure point!
Who would have thought this "hindrance" would actually have a miraculous moment!
Having her sensitive spot attacked, Sumi Tsukamoto's face showed a hint of thin anger, her purple eyes glaring at Yuu Hoshimiya.
Yuu Hoshimiya apologized softly: "Sorry, Student Tsukamoto, yours are too big, plus the trajectory fluctuated during movement... I originally thought I wouldn't hit them."
Hearing this, Sumi Tsukamoto became even angrier. She stopped only using her hands.
The beautiful high school girl raised her slender beautiful legs, twisted her body, and delivered a spinning whirlwind kick towards Yuu Hoshimiya's head. Her leg technique was extremely fast.
Unfortunately, in front of Yuu Hoshimiya, it was still as slow as a turtle.
Yuu Hoshimiya grabbed the fair ankle with one hand...
With a flick of his wrist, he threw Sumi Tsukamoto out entirely, and she landed on the white dojo floor!
Yuu Hoshimiya controlled his strength well; it wouldn't hurt Sumi Tsukamoto.
Yuu Hoshimiya said: "That should be enough, right? Student Sumi!"
Yuu Hoshimiya turned and walked towards Ran, but heard the sound of wind breaking from behind.
A sneak attack isn't very honorable!
Ran cried out in alarm.
"Brother Yuu, watch out!"
Yuu Hoshimiya immediately turned around and blocked a long leg that was kicking his way!
He pulled her long leg along with the momentum, and Sumi Tsukamoto immediately lost her balance, falling towards Yuu Hoshimiya.
Yuu Hoshimiya's hands immediately grabbed her lapels, propping her body up with his shoulder!
Finishing move: Over-the-shoulder throw!
The over-the-shoulder throw is truly useful and suitable for various styles.
Karate, Aikido, Judo... all have this move!
Sumi Tsukamoto's body instantly flew high and slammed heavily onto the dojo floor, her body rising and falling with the soft mat.
The lapels of her top loosened because of this, and Yuu Hoshimiya instantly saw the constantly rising and falling white, creamy spring view inside. Sumi Tsukamoto, who had changed into her martial arts uniform, wasn't wearing any underwear.
No wonder the breast shaking was so intense and the trajectory changed so much...
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a misjudgment.
Yuu Hoshimiya could understand Sumi Tsukamoto being so bold. After all, in the karate club, there was no one who could make her use her full strength.
So she didn't have to worry at all about exposing herself by not wearing underwear or the breast shake being too strong for anyone to notice.
Today's sparring with Yuu Hoshimiya was purely a temporary accident.
After admiring the view openly for a while, Yuu Hoshimiya finally turned to leave, leaving the dizzy Sumi Tsukamoto to the care of Ran, who rushed up.
Ran naturally noticed Yuu Hoshimiya's dishonest gaze and gave him a slightly reproachful look before going to help Sumi Tsukamoto with a face full of concern.
Sumi Tsukamoto lay on the floor groaning softly, completely unaware that her "spring light" had been exposed.
Ran hurriedly tucked in her lapels and then slowly helped her up.
"Senior Sumi, are you okay?"
Hiss!
Sumi Tsukamoto supported her lower back and sucked in cold air. Even with the soft floor providing a buffer, she wouldn't recover for a while.
She was helped down from the dojo floor by Ran just like that.
Seeing Sumi Tsukamoto returning in this state, Yuu Hoshimiya couldn't help but chuckle: "Student Tsukamoto, a sneak attack is not the way of a true martial artist!"
At this moment, Sumi Tsukamoto had none of her previous high-spirited appearance. She lay obediently on a nearby table, her eyes looking at Yuu Hoshimiya with a trace of admiration added to her shyness and annoyance.
Sumi Tsukamoto had experienced Yuu Hoshimiya's strength this time and couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Teacher Hoshimiya. No wonder you can guide Ran. I was arrogant. I hope for a chance to receive your guidance again next time."
Sumi Tsukamoto didn't hate Yuu Hoshimiya; she just disliked arrogant people.
After confirming that Yuu Hoshimiya had real talent, not only was she not angry at all, but she hoped Yuu Hoshimiya could serve as the karate club's instructor.
"By the way, Teacher Hoshimiya, why don't you just become our club's instructor! The current instructor is completely useless, even weaker than me. I'll handle the negotiations with the school!"
Seeing the admiration in Sumi Tsukamoto's eyes, Yuu Hoshimiya was surprised.
This woman became so docile after being beaten once; could this girl have some special attribute!
But this personality was also quite good—direct, clean, and efficient. If she's not convinced, she'll challenge you; if she loses, she'll admit it!
But as for being an instructor or something, Yuu Hoshimiya had no interest at all, so naturally he wouldn't agree.
Currently, the only person in the entire Teitan High School he still had some interest in was this beautiful senior girl, Sumi Tsukamoto.
If not for the fact that Vermouth's disguised Tomoaki Araide was still around and Jodie would also be there long-term, he would have planned to resign from his job as a health teacher after establishing a private connection with Sumi Tsukamoto.
Yuu Hoshimiya thought for a moment and said: "Student Tsukamoto, forget about being the club instructor, I'm not interested. But if you're willing, you can come to me for private guidance alone in the future, just like Ran."
As for the location, an empty club dojo would work, or a private dojo of the Suzuki family would be fine. If Sumi Tsukamoto didn't mind, he could also provide home guidance.
Or, Sumi Tsukamoto could actively come for "tutoring."
The apartment wasn't as spacious as a dojo, but after tidying up, there was enough room to create a practice space for two.
Failing to invite Yuu Hoshimiya to be the instructor, Sumi Tsukamoto was a bit disappointed, but hearing that Yuu Hoshimiya was willing to guide her privately, she immediately became happy.
"Yes! Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Hoshimiya!" Sumi Tsukamoto nodded.
When she was fired up just now she didn't realize it, but thinking back, all of Yuu Hoshimiya's pointers just now were critical.
As long as she corrected those areas, her strength would immediately go up another level.
Sumi Tsukamoto didn't dare to imagine how exaggerated her strength improvement would be if she could be guided privately by Yuu Hoshimiya in the future!
You should know that Yuu Hoshimiya hadn't set a time limit, which meant that even after she graduated from high school, she could still go to Yuu Hoshimiya for guidance.
While the two were chatting happily and making the guidance appointment, Ran on the side had dark, deep eyes.
After all this time, how could she not know Yuu Hoshimiya's little intentions.
He clearly has his eye on Senior Sumi, who has extraordinary skills and is "grand-chested."
And looking at Sumi Tsukamoto's reaction, she's likely quite willing too...
Forget it, I like Senior Sumi quite a bit anyway. It would be nice to be together all the time in the future, and there would be someone to improve karate with.
Habit is truly powerful. After adding "good sisters" again and again, Ran now felt no repulsion when encountering this situation; instead, she thought more about the benefits of Sumi Tsukamoto joining.
