Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Leek?
As he watched Shoko use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal his injuries, the pain in Satoshi's arm gradually subsided.
This Reverse Cursed Technique is really powerful. I wonder how it compares to Kaidō from the world of Bleach.
Satoshi subconsciously compared the two healing techniques in his mind.
In terms of flexibility, Reverse Cursed Technique seemed more versatile.
After all, in the future, Satoru who had mastered it was able to continuously heal his brain while engaging in high-intensity combat against Ryomen Sukuna.
On the other hand, there was no known case in Bleach where someone used Kaidō to heal while actively fighting.
However, when it came to healing others, Kaidō probably had the upper hand.
If I could use Kaidō now, I might be able to compete with Shoko to see who has the stronger healing abilities.
But unfortunately, my Zankensoki are still at the level of someone flailing around with no real combat skills.
To use Kidō, I first need to break through my limits in Hakuda, then master Hohō before I can even access Kidō.
The road ahead is long and difficult.
Satoshi wasn't someone who aimed too high. Even though Kaidō seemed promising, there was still a long way to go before he could reach that level.
For now, there was already a healer here, why not make use of her?
...
[The host is receiving instruction from Toji, Hakuda experience +10.]
[The host is receiving instruction from Toji, Hakuda experience +10.]
Looking at the system prompts, Satoshi felt the satisfaction of progress.
With Toji's guidance and sparring, his Hakuda improvement speed would definitely not be any slower than his Kendo training.
As long as he continued like this, he would eventually break through in Hakuda, master Hohō, learn Kidō, and become a "qualified" four-in-one Shinigami.
But just as he was about to return to the training ground to fight Toji again, another system notification appeared.
[During the borrower's battle, corresponding experience is converted—Free Experience +1.]
[During the borrower's battle, corresponding experience is converted—Free Experience +1.]
At that moment, Satoshi realized something—Satoru had become the "borrower" of Senbonzakura.
This meant that Satoru's combat experience would be partially shared with him.
Since both he and Satoru were learning hand-to-hand combat, Satoru's training experience was effectively his own as well...
Satoshi suddenly felt like he had stumbled upon a system loophole.
Back when he had asked Satoru to train in free combat, he had never considered that he might gain free experience through this method.
At the time, his only thought was to help Satoru develop his physical combat skills, so he wouldn't be entirely reliant on his techniques in the future.
He never expected that an unintentional move would lead to such an advantage.
Satoru, who was training alongside him, had inadvertently become his "experience leek."
Not bad, not bad!
A "strange" smile appeared on Satoshi's face as his gaze shifted toward Shunichi, who was standing beside him with a concerned expression.
Should I bring him in as well, so I can farm free experience from two experience leeks?
No need to hesitate—just do it!
Before long, the number of people training in hand-to-hand combat increased from just Satoshi and Satoru to include Shunichi as well…
"Young Master Satoshi, I really don't think I need to learn hand-to-hand combat..."
Shunichi swallowed nervously, instinctively trying to refuse.
After all, he had just witnessed how brutally Satoshi and Satoru had been beaten.
Although he was an adult, if he could only use physical combat, he probably wouldn't be a match for Toji either.
Some might argue that Satoru and Satoshi got beaten so badly because they were still young, and their bodies hadn't fully matured.
But if he ended up in the same state, there would be no excuse.
After all, he was a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer, he had a reputation to uphold!
Unfortunately for him, Shunichi's concerns meant nothing in the face of Satoshi's thirst for experience.
Satoshi wasn't about to let him refuse.
Uncle Shunichi, I'm doing this for your own good! Although you're a master of Kendo, what will you do if you ever find yourself without a weapon?
A Kendo master who can't fight barehanded, what kind of joke is that?
Satoshi wasn't just pulling Shunichi into hand-to-hand combat training for experience, he had genuinely considered something important.
Satoshi didn't want Shunichi, who was currently his subordinate to ever end up in such a situation.
Of course, his main goal was still to farm experience…
…
"Hey, hey, are you guys done yet?"
Even though she had plenty of snacks to eat, Shoko's expression was turning uglier by the second.
She was supposed to be a guest of the Gojo Clan, yet now she was being treated like a laborer.
It was bad enough that she had already healed Satoru and Satoshi.
But now there was Shunichi as well?
The amount of Cursed Energy required to heal an adult compared to a child was vastly different.
I'm just a kid myself, how am I supposed to handle this kind of workload?!
Shoko's complaints finally brought an end to the three-day hand-to-hand combat training session.
Not only Satoshi, but even Toji, who had been "handing out beatings" let out a sigh of relief.
After all, beating someone up was exhausting too.
By the end, even he started to lose interest in pummeling the Gojo Clan's Six Eyes prodigy.
It's just like playing poker, exciting at first, but if you're forced to play every night, you'd eventually get bored.
Even if it's a public service, you can't expect someone to do it every day, right?
At this moment, Toji felt completely drained from constantly beating up Satoru.
After training ended, Satoshi needed some time to rest.
To be honest, he wouldn't have minded continuing, but he was worried that Satoru and Shunichi wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.
Satoru was already slumped over, looking completely out of it.
Meanwhile, Shunichi was rubbing his sore lower back—these past few days had been nothing short of hell for him.
However, this experience also gave him a firsthand understanding of Toji's true strength.
The man standing before him wasn't someone he could even hope to contend with.
Even though he was a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer...
