The Shimizu Lineage's Secret Technique for Romance

The idea of String Puppet greatly upset Miss Kuchiki Aozumi, and she didn't come out of her dormitory after returning that day, not reappearing in public for a month.

The young lady who reappeared was completely different from before. Not only did she greet all the students she met, but she also appeared on the Training Ground. It should be noted that this young lady never came to the Training Ground before, only going to the Kadō room, Tea Room, and Shodō room.

The young lady gave some pointers on Zanjutsu to a few people at the Training Ground, then walked over to Kōga, who was training there, and with a sweet "Kōga ~" (at least eight plus signs), instantly killed Kōga, who was fighting three people.

Kōga stared at the young lady with eyes wide as if he'd seen a ghost. After confirming several times that the girl calling his name was indeed his unexpected fiancée, Kōga rushed over, grabbed her hand, and ran all the way to Chun's office.

"Master, Master," Kōga was almost speechless. "What kind of Evil Curse have you cast?"

"You're incredibly rude!" Aozumi scolded Kōga. Xiang Kōga thought she was cursing him for dragging her along on the run, but Aozumi continued, "How could you be so disrespectful to your master?! Where's your manners?! After more than thirty years of schooling, this is all the politeness you have? You don't even respect your master?!"

Kōga stared at the two of them with a look of utter disbelief. Chun sipped her tea with a cheerful smile, but to Kōga's astonishment, the young lady also picked up a teacup and started slurping tea Junichi. This was simply unbelievable! Where was her Tea Ceremony?! Where was her aristocratic etiquette?! Even I, a young master, couldn't stand this old-fashioned way of drinking tea.

"Master! Who are you, my master or her master?! What did you do to her?!"

"That's a good question. I'm your master, and since you're getting married in the future, I guess I can be considered Aozumi's master too?"

"Yes, that's right. Master Shimizu, please accept my bow."

"Hmm~ Get up."

Kōga was scared out of his wits, Zombie, "Ahhh! What's going on with you guys?!"

"It's all because you're such a useless disciple. I had no choice but to step in and give you all a common language. Now that you're all my disciples, do you think you can talk to each other?"

"Yeah, yeah, what a load of rubbish!"

"Ah~ what an incurable rude man~, Master, even if I lowered my standards of etiquette, he's still just too vulgar."

"Well, he can still be salvaged. After all, you've already humbled yourself and taken the initiative to change. If he doesn't change, he's disrespecting you. If it's his problem, I don't care how you discipline him. Besides, the greater good is on your shoulders, Aozumi, just go for it. Your master is behind you."

Miss Aozumi gave Kōga a classic, gentle smile, and Kōga felt a chill run from the top of his head to his toes. He realized that he wasn't facing the young lady of the Kuchiki Clan, but rather a woman dressed as Jun Shimizu.

"I'm so sorry~, since you're not satisfied, could you please teach me proper manners?" Kōga felt he was going crazy if things continued like this, and instinct led him to choose the best option.

"Oh my, oh my, that's very good manners. You could do it too if you wanted to," Miss Aozumi laughed, her smile as radiant as a flower. After laughing, she took Kōga's hand and bowed to Chun, saying, "Then we won't disturb Master's meditation any longer. Excuse me, farewell."

"Okay~ Go ahead."

"Huh?"

"Baka! I'm taking my leave!"

"Ah? Ah! Excuse me~ Take your leave~ Goodbye, Master~"

Kōga had barely finished speaking when Aozumi pulled him away, leaving Chun with a bewildered expression. Chun sipped his tea and smiled.

"Women are naturally good at managing men, aren't they doing a great job? slurp"

To Kōga's utter bewilderment, the two had indeed become a couple. Kōga was initially unable to handle this relationship, but at the same time, he discovered that Aozumi felt the same way; both of them were unexpectedly awkward.

Jun's mission ended quickly, Isuzu went on to become a mentor at the academy, essentially providing relationship guidance to the two children. After a month, Isuzu returned to Jun's side.

"You think that's enough?"

"Yes, the two children get along very well. There are none of the problems you mentioned; they're very happy."

Men and women see things differently, don't they?

"Oh, so what is it that you care about?"

"Hmm, spiritual compatibility?"

What is that?

"Haha, I don't know either. Well then, let's leave it at that. Let the child handle their own affairs. I can't keep watching them all the time, otherwise it'll look like I'm the one going off to date."

"Oh~?"

"Oh~ what? Thinking random thoughts will be punished, you know?"

"Yamete~"

Jun and Isuzu continued their happy life, Kōga and Aozumi were also doing well. After the first few days, since neither of them had any particular purpose, they wandered around aimlessly, but what was so interesting about the academy?

Moreover, it would interfere with his cultivation. Which is more important, love or cultivation? For Kōga, it was definitely cultivation. The West Wall of the Journal Hall was a place he had to enter, and the pressure on him was immense.

Let me explain the entry requirements for the West Wall. Those who wish to enter the East Wall must have completed fifty-seven years of study before they can enter.

Ahem, that's right. It's just a time-wasting device. Once the time is up, you'll definitely be able to get in. But Chun doesn't say it out loud, Kōga naturally doesn't know. He'll just focus on cultivating until he's fifty-seven years old before going in, and then acknowledge his own strength in his heart.

Because, to be honest, even after graduating, Kōga might not have been able to get in, Kōga he got in three years early. But actually, well, it's good to know, haha. I wonder what Xianghe will think when he finds out the truth in Kōga future; maybe he'll never know the truth.

When Kōga first announced his intention to cultivate, Aozumi was not happy. He thought, "Even if you cultivate, what level can you reach? Does the Kuchiki Clan lack your cultivation?" However, after observing Kōga for a while, Aozumi realized that he seemed to be no match for Kōga.

It's important to understand Aozumi's current skill level. He has already Menkyo level in Zanjutsu, high-ranking in Hakuda, high-ranking in Shunpo, and +17 in Kidō. This level is extremely high for a graduate-level player, especially considering that Aozumi is Little Ichi than Kōga.

However, Kōga's current level is: Zanjutsu Menkyo, free- Hakuda Menkyo, high-level Kidō (Shunpo step), and +24 in Kōga Demon Arts). After all, he is Chun's disciple, and Chun has put a lot of effort into Xianghe.

Kōga doesn't possess the Kongbu control over Spiritual Power like Jun or Aizen, she's still quite capable. Her Spiritual Sensitivity attribute, after some training, reaches an exceptionally high 379. However, Aizen and Jun's stats are around 600, which is practically a bug; around 400 is already considered captain-level Spiritual Sensitivity.

Then, the other data were basically at the same level. Aozumi had never heard of this kind of thing before. As the daughter of the Kuchiki Clan, she had never tested it before. So she asked Kōga to take her to test it.

Spiritual Pool 369, Reiatsu 277, Spiritual Reach 306, Spiritual Flow 303, Spiritual Sensitivity 339

Wow, that's amazing!

"Really amazing?"

"Of course it's true," Kōga didn't hold back his praise, especially since the data was really good. No wonder it's called "Kuchiki"—thousands of years of heritage are no joke.

And what about you?

Didn't I tell you?

"That's from over thirty years ago, I want to see your current one, go up and get tested!"

Hi~ Hi~ Hi~

Spiritual Pool 433, Reiatsu 366, Spiritual Reach 241, Spiritual Flow 407, Spiritual Sensitivity 379

Kōga swallowed hard. Aozumi's eyes reddened, Kōga panicked, "No, it's you! Don't cry!"

I didn't cry!

Kōga scratched his neck awkwardly, "What's wrong?"

"How are you so amazing?" the little girl said, looking aggrieved.

So, is it my fault that I'm so capable?

"Ugh~ Shouldn't Kuchiki be the strongest?"

"Huh? Although it's a bit disrespectful to say this, where does your Kuchiki Clan put the Captain-Commander?"

"Waaah~ Don't mention 'your family' anymore, we're getting married, we're talking about 'our family'!"

Ah~ our home, our home

No half-hearted work allowed!

"Yes, yes! Our family!! My dear young lady, please don't cry."

I didn't cry!

"Yes, yes, you didn't cry, but I cried, okay?"

"Hmph~", Aozumi snorted, "You wait, I'll be stronger than you!"

"Ah?"

Kōga was completely bewildered. In the days that followed, his sparring partner became Aozumi. Then Kōga discovered that although both of them were Menkyo Zanjutsu practitioners, Miss Aozumi's Zanjutsu was far superior to his. Aozumi was finally overjoyed after realizing this.

But soon the young lady became unhappy again. She discovered that, apart from Zanjutsu, she was no match for Kōga in anything else, and Kōga had already Shikai, while she had no idea where her Shikai was.

Although Kōga is the fastest person in history from Rukongai to complete Shikai, the young lady isn't from Rukongai, so she doesn't need to care about that record. It seems only natural that she did it earlier than Kōga. Considering she's Little Ichi year younger than Kōga, she has about ten years to work hard.

The young lady embarked on the most arduous training of her life, and then she began to pay attention to Kōga's training, eventually following him to Kōga Journal Hall. However, when the two arrived, it was only during the day.

Kōga also recommended to Aozumi their favorite private training spot: the open space behind the Journal Hall. The young lady disliked Training Grounds with crowds, so this was indeed the best place. But at that moment, Aozumi suddenly remembered something.

"It's said that Master amazed everyone when he graduated, but no one has ever seen him unleash his Kidō; this has become a closely guarded secret within the academy."

"Oh, that's something we can't do right now. It's because Master's wife is amazing. Back then, she was a genius in the Kidō. She learned Bakudō Seventy-Three Tōzanshō after just over forty years of studying at the academy. Then, Master practiced Kidō inside the Tōzanshō Reversal Crystal, while Master's wife released Kyokkō from outside the Tōzanshō. That's why when others noticed this place, they would find that there was nothing here."

Wow! Seventy-three!?

"Hmm, seventy-three."

How far have you progressed in your training?

"Uh, fifty-one"

"How can you be so stupid? You've been a student for thirty-five years now. Your master would probably be seventy-three by now."

"Ahem, is that Master? He's a genius in the Kidō, I can't compare."

"But they want to practice Kidō here! That training ground is packed with people and it's a complete mess!"

Kōga scratched his face. "Tsk~ Fine, then you'll have to wait a few more years. I can't improve my cultivation anytime soon."

"No, then use Kōsangō on me. I'm going to practice Kidō here."

"Huh? Uh, okay."

That's more like it.

So, there was light pollution behind the Journal Hall for a few days, then it disappeared, but people could still see two figures practicing Kidō there. The academy noticed but couldn't do anything about it. The Kuchiki Clan family—they're already giving the Shin'ō Academy face by coming here. Besides, they haven't caused any trouble, so what right do you have to interfere?

Kōsangō is the strongest defense among the top 48 and 50 Kidō Bakudō. Its only drawback is that it requires constant contact to release. This Kidō is used by lower-level Soul Reapers to capture Kidō, but it's also quite effective for Kidō training now, and this method quickly became popular in the Shin'ō Academy.

After all, this only requires 48, which most people can achieve. Jun and Isuzu's 73 back then was definitely not something the average person could handle.

As for light and noise pollution, they're relatively easy to manage; they're all related to the Bakudō techniques mentioned earlier. The young couple supported each other while practicing Kidō, which really reminded me of Jun and Isuzu back in the day. After Jun received this news, he teased Isuzu...

"Is this considered our family's traditional way of witnessing love?"

"Hehehe, probably. Next time you have a disciple who needs to find love, just use this trick."

"Haha, great idea!"
