Chapter 31 Koujiro's Reading Comprehension
Five days later, Vic returned to Frost Moon Village in an atmosphere of eat-train, eat-train.
After landing on the island, Victor went straight to Isshin Dojo without doing anything unnecessary.
Yixin Dojo is still the same dojo, just as it was when I left, nothing has changed.
When the apprentices saw Vic coming back, they greeted him and admired him very much. After all, he once walked in the sky, which was unimaginable to them.
A younger one.
"Brother is back."
"Brother Vic, you're back."
Someone a little older.
"Vic, you're back"
"Vic, you've grown a lot taller. You must have eaten a lot of delicious food."
This is because we know that Vic, Koshiro, and Kuina often give special treatment to each other.
Vic also greeted them one by one with a smile. When he came back, he had to report to Koshiro first. This was a sign of respect for teachers and he could not lose it.
Kuina also heard the noise of Vic coming back, and ran out. When she saw Vic, she was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and jumped onto his long legs. Vic's legs were very long, and Kuina was still very small.
Kuina clung to his legs like a pendant, with her face buried in Vic's legs, and there was no sound for a long time. Vic felt a hint of coldness on his legs. Vic knew Kuina was crying, but she just didn't want him to know, but the wet feeling was still exposed.
A smile appeared on Vic's face. He had been playing with her and telling her stories, and the effect was quite good.
He and Guina have a very good relationship, and Vic also likes this little girl very much, but he feels a little sad when he thinks about her future ending, so Vic will try to find a way to keep this lovely life.
Koshiro is usually very strict with Kuina, but Vic, who came from another world, raises Kuina as his daughter. Vic was in his twenties in his previous life, and after living in this world for a few more years, Vic's soul is almost thirty years old, which is exactly the age of a father.
Vic put down the bag on his back, stretched out his hands, picked up Kuina and held her in front of him, and said with a smile: "Who bullied Kuina-chan? I will help you get revenge, okay?"
Kuina didn't say anything. She pursed her lips and looked tearful. She pulled out the small bamboo sword that Vic had made for her from her waist and kept hitting Vic on the top of his head, shouting, "Big idiot, big idiot, big idiot..."
"Hahaha, it turns out that it was me who made Kuina-chan angry. Well, I'll apologize to you and make you something delicious." Vic was melted by Kuina's cute look.
The apprentices at the nearby gym also laughed out loud when they saw this scene, which made Kuina so angry that she glared at them with a fierce expression. When Vic saw this, he laughed even more.
Vic let him go only after he had promised a bunch of conditions. He took out a lollipop from his bag and handed it to Kuina, asking her to wait for him in his cabin first, and then walked towards Koshiro's quiet room.
When he arrived outside the quiet room, Vic knocked on the door frame. Koshiro usually didn't close the door.
"Come in, Vic," came Koshiro's calm voice.
"Yes, teacher!" Vic said and walked in, then sat cross-legged opposite Koshiro.
"Very good, Vic, you got it!" Koshiro said with a smile.
Vic rolled his eyes in his heart. If he hadn't read the original novel and had a smart brain, who knows when he would have understood it.
Zoro must have realized it ten years after hearing this! Isn't this bullying an honest person? But I can't say what's in my heart, which is a bit regrettable.
"Yes, I have made a breakthrough, so I want to ask the teacher, what should I do next?" Vic asked.
Koshiro looked up at Vic (or should I say glanced), a little surprised. Vic's current realm has not even reached the peak of this realm, but he wants to understand the next realm.
Koshiro didn't think Vic was too ambitious. After all, his talent was there. Vic could hardly understand what he was saying to him, but he was able to master it so quickly. It had to be said that his talent was really good. Koshiro still told Vic about the reading comprehension questions of the next level.
"The sword of the strongest swordsman in the world has the power to protect what you want to protect and cut off what you want to cut off. If you cannot protect what you want to protect with this power, then you have to release the power you have gathered to protect what you want to protect. This is the next level!"
Vic wanted to roll his eyes again, and felt a little sorry for Zoro. It was not that Zoro missed poetry, there was nothing he could do, who made him worship such a master? Vic complained in his heart.
"Teacher, I understand. I will go and comprehend it now." Vic stood up, bowed slightly, turned around and walked out.
"You are playing me, right? I understand now. It seems that my reading comprehension questions are too simple. I need to think carefully before setting questions next time."
Vic walked out of the meditation room, put on his backpack and went through the back door. There was a small wooden house in front of the open space where Koshiro had tested Vic before. It was built not long after Vic came to Shimotsuki Village. It was used as a place for meditation and cooking.
The door of the cabin was open. Vic knew that Kuina was inside, so he strode towards the cabin. When he entered the cabin, Kuina was sitting at a small low table eating a lollipop. When she saw Vic coming in, she immediately smiled.
"Senior brother, what delicious food are you going to make for me?" Kuina asked curiously.
"Don't ask, just wait and eat." Vic didn't say anything, and even if he did, Guina wouldn't know.
When Kuina heard what Vic said, she turned away from him and snorted, "Humph, you bad guy, bad brother..."
Vic didn't say anything else. He put down his bag, went out and got some charcoal, then took a square stone tripod from the kitchen chopping board. The stone tripod had no ears and had short stakes rising from the four corners, and then took a stone slab with a slightly concave surface.
Vic placed the stone tripod on the low table, put charcoal into the tripod, lit the charcoal, and when the charcoal flame was even, he placed the washed stone slab on the four short stakes of the stone tripod, with the concave side of the stone slab facing upwards. The stone slab just covered the four short stakes, neither too big nor too small.
Kuina was very familiar with this process. She often came here to eat with Koshiro. While the stone slab was heating, Vic took out the quagga meat from the bag, which he had marinated.
A large piece of donkey meat was cut into thin slices and placed on a plate on the side. Vic cut several plates. Guina was very curious about what kind of meat this was and whether it was delicious.
After the slate began to smoke, Vic brushed oil on it, and when the oil was hot, put the thinly sliced quagga meat on it. One slate could be used to roast about ten slices at a time. The meat slices sizzled with oil and sprinkled with some seasonings. The aroma was so tempting.
Kuina was almost unable to hold back and was about to grab the meat with her hands, but Vic's Observation Haki predicted her movements and stopped her. He asked her to wait for a moment, took out a plate, put the roasted meat slices on the plate, and continued to roast the next batch.
When Kuina saw the meat on the plate, she was a little impatient to pick it up with her hands. Vic patted her hands and gave her a pair of chopsticks. "Don't eat like an Indian. Using chopsticks won't burn your hands and it's more elegant. Remember, use chopsticks from now on."
Kuina didn't say anything. She picked up a piece with the chopsticks, blew on it before putting it into her mouth, and then showed an intoxicated expression.
Guina had already learned to eat with chopsticks under Vic's instruction, but today the meat was so delicious that she couldn't wait.
Vic taught Guina a lesson and continued to turn the meat slices. Guina did not eat alone, but occasionally put a piece to Vic's mouth, and Vic would eat it with a smile on his face.
After a while, Koshiro, who smelled the fragrance, also came, and there was another foodie at the table. Vic told Koshiro that the meat was brought back from the island.
Koshiro was very curious because he had never eaten it on the island before. Vic returned the permanent pointer to Koshiro without mentioning the mysterious fruit. There might be a conspiracy here, so it's better not to know.
The three of them were eating happily, but then some uninvited guests arrived. The apprentices from the gym also smelled the fragrance and came over. Vic didn't want to serve them, but threw a piece of meat to them and told them to deal with it.
