"Things? You mean the swimsuit? I did bring it, but... wait, you don't mean you're thinking of...?"

Yukino suddenly realized what she was saying and her eyes widened. (Hiro)

Chapter 80

"Are you sure this is okay? We don't need to go to the infirmary?"

Inside the Fighting Club, Shirogane Miyuki looked at Narushima Kouga, who was tending to his injuries, and couldn't help but ask.

“No problem, I can handle this level of injury myself… or rather, I must have the ability to handle it, otherwise the president will get angry again.” Recalling Yato’s terrifying gaze, Narushima Kou’s facial muscles twitched.

"I've never seen Igarashi with that kind of expression. If it were me, I'd probably be so scared I'd quit the company."

Seeing that he was really alright, Shirogane Miyuki relaxed a lot.

"Leaving the company is impossible. Only here can I achieve my goals. By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Shirogane Miyuki is in the same class as Igarashi."

"I'm Narushima Hikari, from Class C. Just call me Hikari."

Hikaru Narushima extended his hand to me in a friendly manner.

"Oh, please advise me."

Shirogane Miyuki paused for a moment, then grasped the other's strong hand.

He felt that his first impression of this person might have been somewhat flawed.

This is not the type of person who is as unruly and difficult to deal with as he appears. On the contrary, compared to a dangerous guy like Igarashi, I can only describe Narushima Hikaru, who looks like a delinquent, as docile.

"I've heard about tutoring from the club president. I'll pay you an hourly wage. I just hope you can help me not fail. If I don't pass this time, I can't even imagine how the club president will beat me up."

As I spoke, I couldn't help but sigh.

While they are indeed on the path to becoming stronger, the level of danger is also multiplying, making it impossible for them to relax.

"Don't worry, my greatest strength is learning, especially how to help normal people achieve good grades."

Recalling the silver-haired youth's persistent struggle against the wooden stake, Shirogane Miyuki's smile faded slightly, replaced by a more serious expression.

"Anyone who works hard is my companion, and even if I get myself covered in mud, I will pull them out."

"You...surprisingly, you're quite to my liking."

Narushima Hikaru squinted and grinned.

Suddenly, even the last bit of resistance I had towards tutoring vanished.

……

at the same time.

The other three members of the Fighting Club arrived at the swimming pool behind the old school building.

Like the old school building, this swimming pool was originally abandoned, but it was renovated and rebuilt because of Yato's needs. It looks like a small artificial lake. Combined with the surrounding groves and modern sheds, it gives people the feeling of going on a picnic at a forest hotel.

However, Yukino, one of the parties involved, was not happy.

Why do I have to dress like this?

At Yato's request, she has now changed into a rather revealing swimsuit.

Unlike Tianyu's competition swimsuit, hers is divided into two sections, with a light and airy lace skirt that exudes a youthful and innocent vibe. However, the chest area is a bit of a disappointment, as she opted for a bra with more fabric to prevent it from slipping down too easily.

Although there is no alluring abyss of depravity, her snow-white skin and gracefully curved body still exude undiminished charm.

"Because I knew you would choose the same competition swimsuit as Tianyu, I asked Tianyu to prepare an extra one."

Yato looked at his 'masterpiece' with satisfaction.

"Indeed, my judgment was very accurate."

"No, I should be praising my good taste."

Tianyu added fuel to the fire.

"I really hope you can use this ability elsewhere. And Tianyu, you should have stopped him from doing this."

Yukino rubbed her temples, speaking as if she had a headache.

He tightened his sports jacket.

Her introverted personality made this kind of outfit unsuitable for her, so she simply put on the sports jacket she was wearing earlier when she went out.

"There's a reason why I made you dress like this, and it's not just for my personal preference."

Yato offered an explanation.

"I'll just listen to your sophistry for now."

Yukino obviously didn't believe it.

"Continuing from where we left off, your lack of stamina is due to your innate physical condition. To overcome this, you need to address the root cause. See the water in this pool? Your training from now on will take place underwater."

Yato pointed to the pond not far away.

"You mean, by swimming?"

Yukino frowned slightly.

"No." Yato shook his head and said calmly, "It's oxygen-free diving."

Oxygen-free diving.

As a top student with a wealth of knowledge, Yukino naturally knew about this sport.

Unlike simple diving, this is an extreme sport where you dive underwater without any oxygen supply equipment, constantly pushing your limits on the verge of suffocation!

Yukino glanced subconsciously at the pool in front of her.

Although it looks like an artificial lake, the water is extremely clear and clean. The inner walls and bottom are also built with smooth and transparent tiles according to swimming pool standards. The shallow water area is about one to two meters deep, but the central part is bottomless, as if it connects to another world, dark and deep.

"...May I ask for the specific reason?"

"The reason is simple: underwater sports can exercise all the muscles in the body. Strength and speed are secondary; the key is to improve the muscles' ability to resist fatigue, or what is commonly known as endurance," Yato explained. "At the same time, it can also promote the improvement of the function of various tissues and organs in the body, especially the enhancement of cardiopulmonary function, which is visible to the naked eye."

"Your problem isn't just with your muscles; it's more that your body simply doesn't support it. So no matter how much you train, your stamina won't increase."

"There is a group of people along the coast of Japan called 'Ama'. According to research, the vascular age of these female fishermen who often go out to sea to fish is on average eleven years older than that of women of the same age. What they are doing is actually anaerobic diving."

Yato, seeing Yukino's furrowed brow as if she had thought of something, smiled and said:

"According to the barrel theory, the amount of water a barrel can hold does not depend on the size of the barrel, but on its shortest stave. However, if the shortest stave cannot be eliminated, then the only thing that can be done is to make the barrel itself bigger, so that it can hold more water."

"But isn't this just treating the symptoms, not the root cause?"

Yukino hesitated for a moment before raising her question.

"It is indeed a temporary solution, not a permanent one, so this is only the first step. After you finish this part of the assignment, I will tell you how to 'patch up' your weaknesses and have you wear a swimsuit with less fabric to reduce the feeling of tightness on your body. In fact, if possible, I would suggest that you wear nothing at all."

Yato put it quite bluntly.

"No need, I think it's fine as it is now."

Yukino refused without hesitation.

"So, would you like to give it a try?"

Yato pointed to the pond, his expression mocking.

"Of course, I don't have the habit of backing down without even trying. So-called anaerobic diving is just holding your breath underwater. It's a training method that works as long as you can endure it. I have no reason to give up."

Yukino's attitude was resolute. She stared at the pool as if she were staring at some kind of enemy that she found extremely repulsive, and her heart was filled with a strong desire to fight.

"I won't give you a time limit. I only have one requirement for you, and that is that you have to keep swimming back and forth underwater," Yato said leisurely.

"...?!"

Yukino's breath hitched.

Holding your breath underwater and swimming underwater are two completely different things. Holding your breath for a minute is one thing, but swimming underwater for a minute is another.

What's more, you have to go back and forth...

Her gaze involuntarily fell on the unfathomable void in the center of the pool. Although she did not have thalassophobia, her biological instincts prevented her from getting closer to that place.

"Phew, I'll do it."

Yukino took a deep breath and walked towards the pool.

Warm-up exercises were no longer necessary for her.

He immediately took off his coat and went into the water, like a brave warrior going to his death.

"It seems you're still hiding these things from her."

Tianyu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"For example, this cultivation... is more about the mind than the body."

"It's better not to talk about these things."

Yato watched the girl slowly sink into the water, unmoved.

"What kind of barrel theory is this? They haven't even fully explored their body's potential yet, and they're already shamelessly starting to study the problem of breaking through the limit. It's ridiculous. Although her situation is indeed related to her physique, there are plenty of ways to solve this kind of problem. At least the Shangdi Flow has them."

"But you didn't tell her this, and instead came up with this kind of cultivation method. Do you still have some unknown expectations for that porcelain-like little girl?"

Tianyu snorted lightly, his tone quite displeased.

Yato did not refute this.

The reason why extreme sports are extreme sports lies in endurance, or willpower!

In a sense, he wasn't wrong.

This is indeed a way to improve physical fitness and enhance endurance.

Because what binds the body is often not something else, but one's own perception.

“Simply helping her strengthen her physical abilities is useless. Even if we address that deficiency, she will still be like porcelain, only a little more solid, but still hollow. She will break with the slightest force.”

“The Fighting Club doesn’t need people like that. What we need are people who can withstand hardship and are more resilient,” Yato said calmly.

"'Us'? Although it's not exactly pleasant for you to include me, it's actually quite fun, and I don't mind playing along before I lose interest."

A smile curved Tianyu's lips as he gazed at the graceful figure swimming in the pool, as if looking at some kind of toy.

"Don't mess around."

Yato glared at her with a warning look.

No matter what, she's Yang Nai's younger sister, his sister-in-law.

Being able to properly train someone and maintain a proper balance is not just playing around!

"You still have the leisure to care about her? You haven't forgotten our bet, have you?"

Tianyu said jokingly.

(There will be another update later; I'm writing it now and will post it as soon as I'm done!)

Chapter 81

These days, Yato is instructing Yukino and Hikaru on their training.

Tianyu always watched from the sidelines.

She didn't care at all about the technical level of the techniques Yato taught her, as if to her, anything that Yato possessed was worth devouring.

Yes, her learning ability is like a wild beast devouring its prey!

The basic moves, routines, and training methods of modern martial arts can be learned almost after just one viewing.

"In another month at most, I will be able to completely master your fighting techniques."

Tianyu said with great confidence.

I believe that.
