Chapter 354 Transfer Student Goto Ichiri (80k)

"Wow, it's so lively! The stadium is completely taken over!"

The entrance to the stadium of the vocational college.

A panda, resembling someone who had run off the set of the Kung Fu Panda movie, spoke in human language, pointing at the bustling scene inside the stadium and marveling at the sight before the two people beside it.

"Those must be first-year students who just started school this year. Are they really this diligent? I feel a little embarrassed!"

"What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Zenin Maki walked up steadily, her gaze sweeping across the stadium, and suddenly she understood everything.

The panda chuckled, its expression endearingly clumsy, and scratched the back of its head.

"Because I'm a panda, I feel like those might be my kind!"

"?"

Beside the two was a boy with short white hair like a phoenix tail. Despite it being the middle of summer, he wore a black scarf around his neck. He was a little shorter than Maki, and his eyes were narrowed, showing a puzzled expression.

"Thorn, the panda probably means that their training intensity is too high, unlike what humans should do."

Zenin Maki pointed to the three figures inside the stadium and explained to the boy.

Dog-Roll Thorn looked in the direction she pointed, and was speechless upon seeing the scene inside.

In the stadium.

Yuji Itadori stood on one leg on a slender wooden stake, looking at the opposite side with a look of dread.

Opposite him was a puppet, about the same height as him, but with four hands, each holding a wooden sword, and its lower body had several flexible wooden legs like an insect.

This puppet, though clearly made of wood, somehow moved like a human, brandishing four wooden swords as it charged toward Hisahito Itadori.

The puppet's speed was like a car charging forward. This speed wasn't too fast in Yuujin Itadori's eyes; at least he could react to it, and it wasn't beyond his ability to handle.

But he was on high alert, especially his leg muscles, which tensed up.

Faced with the puppet's charge, Huzhang used one leg to propel himself up and leaped from the wooden stake, darting out like a nimble monkey.

The puppet's attack missed, and without even a pause, several wooden legs under its feet turned in unison, changing direction with incredible agility, and it wriggled towards the cane again.

Faced with four wooden swords, Huzhang dared not confront them lightly and could only dodge rapidly.

"what!"

At one point, he suddenly stumbled, lost his footing, and fell straight down, crashing heavily to the ground like a sandbag.

The thud was quite loud, making it sound painful.

Seeing the wooden staff fall to the ground, the wooden idol seemed to have triggered some kind of program. The figure that had been chasing after it suddenly froze, put down the wooden sword in its hand, and stood there obediently, motionless like a tree stump.

"We can't win at all!"

Yuji Itadori stood up from the ground, dusted himself off, and didn't look like he had fallen heavily at all; he just had a bitter expression on his face.

He turned to look at the grass at the edge of the stadium, where there were several giant trees with canopies as large as houses, and made a protesting expression.

"Teacher, I think this training is completely unreasonable!"

"tell me the story!"

A leisurely voice came from the grass and reached Huzhang's ears from afar.

Looking closely, under the shade of the leaves of those giant trees, someone had placed a deck chair, and someone was lying on it, looking quite content.

This made Itaru, who was training under the scorching July sun, feel extremely unfair and wanted to rush over and kick the deck chair over!

But this idea only existed in Itajō's mind for a moment.

Two days ago, he tried kicking the deck chair when the teacher wasn't around.

Then the teacher tied him to the treetop and hung him there for an hour.

When I came down, my hands and feet were so numb that they felt like they weren't my own.

It took me a long time to recover.

"Teacher, I can accept having to fight with puppets, but I think this part of the training is excellent!"

After thinking for a moment, Hisahito Itadori decided to first flatter his teacher.

"But I think such a tall array of wooden stakes is incredibly stupid!"

Then he harshly belittled the row of wooden stakes stuck in the ground beside him.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that he and the puppet had been moving back and forth between rows of wooden stakes, each over two meters tall and as thin as a woman's high heels.

It's already difficult enough to move as freely up there as you would on the ground, let alone have him dodge and fight the puppets at the same time. That's asking too much of him!

"If you don't like it, you can do the same training as Hui."

The figure lying under the shade of the tree waved his hand, ignoring the dissatisfaction with the training in his words, and pointed to the other side of the stadium.

On the other side of the field, Fushiguro Megumi was shirtless, drenched in sweat, panting heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows.

Looking closely, one could see a neatly shaped rock about half a person's height tied behind him with a hemp rope. Fukuguro Megumi, like an old ox pulling a cart, had one end of the rope tied to his body, and was pulling the rock forward with all his might, his muscles working together.

Throughout this process, there was not even a trace of magical power surging within Fushiguro Megumi; he was pulling the rocks forward entirely with his physical body.

It's not that he doesn't want to use his magical power.

Instead, once he uses his magical power to strengthen his body, the rocks behind him will also increase in weight, so it's better to just use his physical strength to pull them!

I have absolutely no idea where the teacher came up with this torturous method!

And why would the rock react to his curse power and thus increase its weight?

Is this what they call "omnipotent"?

"May I?"

Yuji Itadori glanced at Megumi Fushiguro's training, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face, even revealing his teeth.

These rocks are no small matter for him.

It's not that difficult to drag someone to run a lap around the playground!

"sure."

Roy lay in the shade of the tree, his eyes still closed, when he suddenly waved his hand.

"But the rock you're using is this one!"

A huge rock, taller than Itadori Yuujin, landed in front of Itadori Yuujin with a soft thud on the sand.

Hisahito Itadori's smile vanished instantly.

Roy's face broke into a happy smile.

"This is not fair!"

With a stiff face, Yuji Itadori made a firm decision and simply expressed his protest.

"Furthermore, why is it that Fushiguro and I are undergoing such difficult training, while Kugizaki can do it so easily!"

He pointed to another shady spot not far from Roy.

Kugizaki Nobara was sitting there, head down, eyes closed, her body surging with magical energy, seemingly engaged in some kind of training.

At the stadium entrance.

"That's not wrong either!"

"Salmon!"

The panda and the white-haired boy nodded in agreement when they heard Itajō's defiant shouts.

No matter how you look at it, the girl named Kugizaki's training was much easier than that of the two boys.

One was getting beaten up by a puppet, another was sweating profusely, but Kugizaki just sat there without breaking a sweat, looking like he hadn't suffered at all.

"It's hard to say..."

Maki rested her chin on her hand, but her face showed a hint of disapproval.

"What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, the panda turned its head curiously to look at Maki.

"Maki mentioned before that you practiced with Roy, a first-year student, for a while?"

"That's it."

Maki nodded, a thoughtful look on her face, and looked at the orange-haired girl sitting in the shade of the tree with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Basically, Mr. Roy won't train you on his own initiative, but if you actively seek him out for training, he's the kind of person who teaches without discrimination and will create different training plans based on the different situations of each of us students."

“Look at Hui. Hui’s spells are very strong and his spell manipulation is not bad either, but his weakness is that his physical strength is too poor and his physical skills are almost non-existent. So this training method should be helping him to overcome his weakness.”

She didn't know Itadori or Kugizaki, nor was she familiar with their strengths, but she knew Megumi's weaknesses all too well.
