Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"Kyosuke-sama!" Su Chang, who had heard the footsteps and looked toward Kousaka Kyosuke's location, called out to greet him.

"Kyosuke-sama!"

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka also called out.

Compared to ordinary women, these two are truly martial arts fighters.

"Real Education" is also known as "The Classroom of Might and Power".

On closer inspection, it seems to make sense; if you can't outsmart someone, you can use your fists.

Even in this peaceful era, didn't the chief of the Imperial Guard always kneel like this?

I'm very sorry, but Kousaka Kyosuke is thinking of this person who served as Kanpaku for less than ten days.

"You should stop and rest for a bit."

Kousaka Kyosuke, who had just mentioned it casually, immediately realized something was wrong. He remained calm and walked towards Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka.

"Let me check your spiritual aptitude."

"Go, Lingyin, Fenghua!" Sushang shouted happily.

Hearing what Kousaka Kyosuke said, she knew that Kousaka Kyosuke planned to teach magic.

Therefore, Su Chang hoped that the two of them would have higher spiritual aptitude, because it was very rare.

If one's skill level is not high, it would be better to focus on martial arts.

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka quickly lowered their heads and agreed.

Then, Kyosuke Kosaka placed the index and middle fingers of both hands together, like swords, on the foreheads of the two men and began to examine them carefully.

"—?!"

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka, who were usually quite serious, suddenly paused in surprise.

He seemed surprised, or perhaps at a loss for words.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who noticed nothing amiss on his face, was filled with doubt.

What's wrong?

At that moment, both of them who were touched by Kyosuke Kosaka were actually quite embarrassed.

Horikita Suzune: "My face is still sweaty, I forgot to wipe it with a handkerchief... and I smell bad too..."

Kiryuin Fuuka: "Being touched by a man I admire isn't a big deal, but it would be really bad if my sweat were touched, wouldn't it?"

They both thought of the same thing.

Troubled by some strange restlessness, they were unusually distressed.

Even the glistening beads of sweat, oblivious to the danger, quietly trickled down her cheeks...

Finally, sensing something was wrong, Kousaka Kyosuke quietly used a spell to refresh his body. Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka quickly felt cool, and their sweat evaporated rapidly.

Kousaka Kyosuke, seemingly unaware, caught another whiff of a strange, astringent aroma.

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka, whose sense of smell had already adapted, didn't notice anything, but they were amazed to find that the sweat on their bodies evaporated quickly.

"Your spiritual talent is average, so your future achievements are probably not very high, but you can still learn if you want to. After all, it's quite convenient to know a few spells occasionally. What do you think?"

After removing his hands from their foreheads, Kyosuke Kosaka explained the situation and asked for their thoughts.

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka are both silent.

What were they thinking?

They all think roughly the same thing.

That means Kyoto is protected by Onmyoji. Learning magic and becoming an Onmyoji is much better than practicing martial arts, right?

However, it seems inappropriate to say it out loud.

Kousaka Kyosuke, who vaguely sensed their thoughts, raised his hand and said:

"Alright, you can practice martial arts while learning some magic in your spare time. I'll see which ones are suitable for you and then teach you."

"Yes, Lord Kyosuke." ×2

"So what are we doing now?"

"Once you've made a decision," Su Chang asked again.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Let's rest. We'll clean up after we've rested."

Upon hearing this, Su Chang immediately understood: "Oh, then I'll come back later."

Kyosuke Kosaka nodded and left with Kagura.

And so, there were only three people left in the open space.

Su Chang deftly unbuckled her belt, preparing to take off her clothes.

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka were both stunned.

"You're all sweaty now, let's go take a bath together. There's a small bath here that can hold seven or eight people, let's go."

"This is against the rules..."

"To overstep one's bounds so presumptuously upon first arriving..."

"We're all on the same side, and what Kyosuke-sama just meant by 'cleaning up' was to give you all a wash."

Su Chang explained.

Knowing Kyosuke Kousaka so well, she almost never needs to think to know what he's thinking.

Horikita Suzune and Kiryuin Fuka looked at each other in bewilderment.

Kiryuin Kaede, who had just arrived on her first day, felt that something was wrong with the treatment she was receiving.

Having met Su Yi, Su Chang, Yang Nai, and others, she knew that beauty wouldn't be a big advantage here.

I can only say that I am useful in some way.

For example, what can you do after learning martial arts...?

After all, receiving such preferential treatment on the very first day should have made them realize something was amiss.

There's also Sakayanagi Arisu, who's inside and hasn't come out yet.

"It seems that little Arisu knows something, but he certainly won't reveal anything too secretive."

"Actually, you don't need to know too much. Just do whatever Kyosuke-sama says, and you can't go wrong..."

Kiryuin Kaede thought to herself.

So many things happened on her very first day, which made her even more cautious.

It's not that I'm worried about Kyosuke Kousaka having ulterior motives; in fact, it would be better if he did.

As for why we are being so careful?

Kiryuin Fuka hopes that the positive situation can be preserved and fully digested and absorbed.

After all, there are precedents to learn from.

For example, that vice president who looks like a clown.

This person must have done something wicked to offend the students of Horikita, and was subsequently targeted openly, resulting in his complete social isolation.

If Horikita Manabu still wants to take action in reality, this vice president will definitely not be able to escape.

In Kiryuin Kaede's eyes, this was a person who was about to die.

Only by sheer luck, being noticed by a powerful figure, or being targeted by an evil god, can one have the fortune to turn their life around.

However, the probability is too low, and it's not necessarily a good thing.

Ignoring all that, Kiryuin Kaede was too lazy to think about this negative example. She was preoccupied with the martial arts she had just been taught, completely oblivious to Su Chang pulling her along...

Horikita Suzune was even more confused.

He vaguely knew another meaning behind being taught martial arts.

She clenched her fist secretly: Go for it!

Day 298 of crossing

Small-scale production lines for the camera industry have begun operating.

It was manufactured in a small clan estate of a branch of the Fujiwara family to which Fujiwara Masataka belonged, located on the Sakyo Shijo-ji Road.

The workers included members of their own branch of the clan, as well as members of the Qin clan.

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would know how to assemble the components, and judging by the speed at which Kamoshige produces the cores, it probably wouldn't even require working from 9 am to 6 pm.

It's probably just doing odd jobs.

Kyosuke Kosaka's real intention was to provide some relief to some members of the two wives' families who were unable to do heavy work.

In this era, there are many people who want to find a job but can't.

Even the non-humans who sweep the streets and do sanitation work live in small groups, making it virtually impossible to steal from them.

Besides, it's impossible for Kyosuke Kosaka to hire someone out of sympathy or pity.
