Chapter 600

At Broly's prompting, the White Shadow Ninja agreed to instruct Isayama Meifu and Jino Setsuna, but it did not instruct them directly; instead, it proposed to first witness the abilities of the three, including its master Broly.

The reason was that it itself did not possess the capability to instruct others; all the White Shadow Ninja's instruction of Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura came from its master Broly.

While the White Shadow Ninja put on a show of watching the two display their skills, Broly used the Toilet Escape Technique, ran to the toilet, and took out paper and pen to begin speed-writing the instruction content for the two.

Although Broly himself did not use a naginata, a weapon similar to a polearm, his combat skills and experience were right there; when Isayama Meifu and Jino Setsuna sparred with Isayama Huangquan, whatever flaws they had, he saw clearly, so instructing the two was no trouble.

After quickly finishing writing the instruction content the two needed, Broly then appended in the back the things he needed the White Shadow Ninja to do.

During these two days when the White Shadow Ninja was training Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura, Broly discovered that his own summoned creature could only rigidly follow the instruction content he gave it, yet could not adjust and optimize that instruction content on the fly based on the girl's and the young woman's training condition.

Although as a mouthpiece mentor, his own summoned creature had already done things very well, it was still somewhat inconvenient.

Therefore, when Isayama Meifu and Jino Setsuna just now appeared requesting instruction, he produced this thought: he was ready to stack a doll — to let himself become the mouthpiece of the summoned creature that had already become his own mouthpiece mentor — the pen tip scratching away in the handbook.

By the time Broly returned to the dojo side, Isayama Meifu and Jino Setsuna were still doing their utmost to display their abilities.

The White Shadow Ninja stood to the side with arms crossed, silently watching the two's sparring, looking just like it was contemplating instruction content for the two, but in reality it was thinking of nothing at all.

Until Broly returned, it quietly took the handbook its master passed over, glanced at it, and only then clapped its hands to stop the two's meaningless sparring.

【I have already grasped your level and capability; now it is his turn.】

The White Shadow Ninja held up a sign and looked at Broly.

"May I ask, how should I demonstrate? Do I also have to spar with someone to demonstrate, like the two older sisters?"

Broly asked.

"If that is the case, I can help."

Tsuchimiya Kagura hurriedly raised her hand; she also wanted to verify her current strength.

Hearing this, Broly gave the White Shadow Ninja a look, and the handbook's solo sword-swinging demonstration turned into a spar with the girl.

Broly is a qualified actor; with the swordsmanship level he had when sparring with Isayama Huangquan before, he fought evenly matched with Tsuchimiya Kagura.

But at the critical moment, he lost by a hair's breadth to the girl; the White Shadow Ninja, watching its master's consummate acting, also gently shook its head according to the requirements just written in the handbook.

Isayama Huangquan saw this and immediately grew somewhat nervous, hurriedly asking: "White Shadow Teacher, what is it? Why did you shake your head?"

【I shake my head only because this child is still immature; compared to accepting my instruction now, what he should actually do more of is watch.】

Isayama Huangquan: "……"

【Is this a good meaning, or a bad meaning?】

The young woman thought for a bit and felt this should be a good meaning.

Because in her eyes, Broly is a child with super high talent.

So, the White Shadow Ninja shaking its head does not mean Broly is no good, but because Broly is too good.

Therefore, even the other party feels that instructing the boy now would only restrict his future growth.

【It is so, definitely it is like this!】

Isayama Huangquan felt she understood, but to avoid misunderstanding, she still asked one more sentence: "So, White Shadow Teacher, your meaning?"

【I will not instruct him, but I will have him assist me in instructing you; through watching the process of you being instructed by me, he will thereby accumulate the insight he himself needs.】

The White Shadow Ninja held up its sign with a straight face, and according to requirements, slapped an Assistant Instructor identity onto its own master.

【Truly it is like this!】

Isayama Huangquan's heart settled at once, and she saw the White Shadow Ninja continue holding up signs.

This time the content on the sign was instruction for Isayama Meifu and Jino Setsuna.

Isayama Meifu had nothing much to say; she also started from micro-adjustments of various movement habits.

As for Jino Setsuna, there was quite a bit to say.

【You should possess the ability to pre-read opponent behavior.】

The White Shadow Ninja's sign used a declarative sentence.

"Lord White Shadow, indeed it is so."

Jino Setsuna was not surprised.

【Your capability is not bad; I have a set of Water God Style Arts here, which suits you perfectly.】

A person with the Reading the Opponent capability is absolutely a good seedling for cultivating Water God Style.

This also counts as Broly accepting a disciple for his former Water God Style teacher in another world.

Time passed quickly, and it was dusk again.

The White Shadow Ninja, right in front of the others, issued Broly this assignment: 【Your task is to find the shortcomings in the others' training, think yourself how to improve these shortcomings, and then tomorrow tell me the shortcomings you found and the improvement solutions you thought of; discussing with others and asking others' opinions is allowed.】

And after accepting this assignment he gave himself, Broly could then openly discuss shortcomings with the others.

Yet through this point, he let Isayama Huangquan and the others realize the places where they were still not doing well enough in their training; this was truly acting as an Assistant Instructor.

"Mei-nee, feels like if you grip your naginata higher up and swing, wouldn't it be a bit better?"

The freshly bathed Isayama Meifu tried gripping her naginata higher up and found the boy was right.

Only not entirely right; after groping and adjusting, she only then found the position more suitable for her own grip on the naginata after micro-adjusting her movements.

This was something the White Shadow Ninja had not pointed out during training.

【This should be White Shadow Teacher deliberately leaving this assignment for this child, so he didn't point it out, right?!】

Isayama Meifu thought thus.

【This child's mind is sharp, able to notice many detail problems; is this the reason Lord White Shadow favors him?】

Jino Setsuna also thought in her heart.

【A child who, because his talent is not enough, cannot become an object of the teacher's instruction, can only become an Assistant Instructor assisting the teacher in instructing students.】

This is the reason Broly arranged an identity for himself, but facts prove that the reason he thought in his heart, once actually manifested, in others' eyes became a completely different flavor.

【Worthy of being my (our) good little brother, easily finding the problems I (we) ourselves hadn't realized~】

Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura already knew the boy's prowess; now again assisted in finding many small problems in training, they felt the boy was even more amazing.

"You've been a huge help, and when White Shadow Teacher discovers tomorrow that you've found so many of our shortcomings and ways to improve, she'll definitely look at you in a new light."

"It's nothing, this is still thanks to the sisters helping out."

Broly didn't claim credit, but instead attributed his superb performance mostly to Isayama Huangquan and the others.

Words like these always make one feel very comfortable listening.

However, Isayama Huangquan felt a boy shouldn't be too self-effacing, so she leaned over, put her arm around him, and started educating him.

"Broly, modesty is a good thing, but if you're too modest, it'll also make you lose confidence.

So, we're modest when we should be modest, but when it's time to be proud, you also have to puff out your chest and acknowledge your own excellence.

And the more excellent you are as a younger brother, the more we sisters can take pride in you, understand?"

"Is that how it is?"

"Of course."

The others nodded.

Humans are strange creatures.

When a person is excellent but arrogant and complacent, it makes people feel aversion.

But when a person is excellent yet excessively modest, it also makes people want them to be a little proud.

The girls present, however, were all demanding he be a bit complacent and proud.

"Broly, my shoulder and neck are also a bit sore, can you help massage them?"

Afterward, when Broly was massaging Isayama Huangquan and Tsuchimiya Kagura's bodies, Isayama Meifu unexpectedly requested it too.

"No problem, Mei-nee."

Broly didn't refuse this either, taking the opportunity while helping massage the other's body to use Qi to probe their physical condition, so he could better customize their guidance plans, lest differing guidance depths cause their strength to fall too far behind, thereby making them unable to become Isayama Huangquan's rivals.

One of the reasons Broly agreed to guide Isayama Meifu was that Isayama Meifu could become Isayama Huangquan's rival.

Compared to the motivation brought by external enemy pressure, the motivation brought by a rival is likewise not insignificant, and moreover, Isayama Meifu had promised to pay any price.

When the truth is revealed later, I'll just have her pay the price of 【supporting Isayama Huangquan becoming the Isayama Family Head】.

With this scheme in mind, Broly was diligent, and after finishing massaging Tsuchimiya Kagura, he started massaging Isayama Meifu.

Qi probed from his fingertips into the white-haired girl's body; Isayama Meifu's body trembled, goosebumps rising all at once, only feeling the boy's technique was indeed superb, the actual experience even more powerful than what she'd seen, no wonder her cousin had been made to show that expression.

Jino Setsuna watched the white-haired girl massaged by the boy until her face flushed, listening to the sounds emerging from her mouth that seemed deliberately suppressed, and found it somewhat absurd.

It's just being massaged by a boy, does she have to be this sensitive? It feels just like she's being violated.

"Setsuna-nee, do you also want me to help massage you, relieve your physical fatigue?"

Broly, displaying his true massage technique on Isayama Meifu, noticed the Cursed Forbidden Way Girl's gaze, met her eyes, and directly asked.

"Eh, if you don't mind."

Jino Setsuna didn't refuse the boy's kindness either, thinking that after she was massaged later, she'd definitely have to properly mock Isayama Meifu for her big reaction.

"I don't mind."

Broly answered thus, and his willingness to guide Jino Setsuna was just a convenient side matter; this person values righteousness, and when encountering danger, she also carried out the guard mission to the end, he didn't dislike this kind of person.

So, when it was Jino Setsuna's turn, Broly also provided her with a body probing service, to facilitate customizing an exclusive training plan for her later.

"Ah~"

However, Jino Setsuna didn't know this, so when the boy's Qi entered her body, she directly let out a terrible sound.

"Eh, why is your reaction so big?"

Isayama Meifu asked curiously.

"..."

Jino Setsuna's face flushed with shame; she had wanted to mock Isayama Meifu for her big reaction, but now she was being mocked by Isayama Meifu for her big reaction instead.

"This kid's hands are strange, there's a special power on them, transmitting into my body."

The insight capability brought by the Bodhi Eye let her discover this point; Isayama Meifu hadn't discovered it at all.

"You mean this? This is an ability from Broly's special constitution, but it can make people sleep better, and after being massaged by him the body relaxes even more."

Isayama Huangquan explained, and Isayama Meifu and Jino Setsuna looked over in shock.

But the world is big, the existence of some people with special constitutions doesn't seem strange either.

"No wonder you insist on sleeping with this kid every night!"

Isayama Meifu said with sudden realization.

"Hah, it's not like that at all; even if Broly didn't have this constitution, I'd still sleep with him, don't say it like I sleep with him because of this."

Isayama Huangquan immediately retorted.

"I'm not some ulterior-motive snob of a sister, just a normal sister who simply wants to enjoy her younger brother and younger sisters accompanying her to sleep at night!"

She said loudly.

"No, a normal sister wouldn't want her younger brother and younger sisters to accompany her to sleep at night, right?"

Isayama Meifu retorted.

"Hah, Meifu-nee you're an only child, right? You don't have a younger brother or younger sisters, so how can you randomly assume a normal sister wouldn't have this thought?"

The sister-complex-and-brother-complex Isayama Huangquan immediately retorted.

"That's right, a normal sister wanting her cute younger sister to accompany her to sleep is a perfectly normal thing!"

Jino Setsuna voiced support for Isayama Huangquan.

"Is that how it is?"

Isayama Meifu was also a bit doubtful.

"That's exactly how it is, this is guaranteed by me, a true sister who has a younger sister!"

The likewise sister-complex Jino Setsuna guaranteed thus.

However, she cannot represent all normal older sisters.

But here, she is the only one who has a younger sister.

Therefore, her words carry even greater authority.

"If that's the case..."

Isayama Meifu returned to the room and came out hugging a pillow.

"Tonight, I want to sleep together with you all as your older sister, is that okay?"

Jianshan Huangquan: "???"

Her older sister element is about to be beaten into a younger sister element?

"Is it not okay?"

"It's not that it won't work, just that the bed is too small, it simply can't fit four people."

"Then you sleep in my room!"

Jianshan Huangquan: "???"

"No, Cousin Meifu, are you going to netorare me?"

Jianshan Huangquan even changed how she addressed the white-haired girl, but as the cuckold about to be netorare'd by her cousin, her reaction is completely without issue.
