30. Megumi Kanzaki

\"Sengo-sensei, Xiaobai will trouble you in the future.\" When Xiaolan signed Xiaobai up for karate in a nearby gym, she said to the curator here, who is Chigo.

\"Hehe, Miss Xiaolan is polite.Actually, wouldn't it be better for you to teach him personally?\" I saw the man who was called Qianhu by Xiaolan looking at Xiaolan with a smile and asked.

\"He's still young, and he's studying just to keep him fit.\" Xiaolan replied as she looked at Xiaobai beside her.

"Kid, what are you learning karate for?" Chigo asked, bending down to look at Shiro.

\"I don't call it a child, I have a name.\" Xiaobai looked at a pair of brown hair tied with a ponytail, an oval face, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his delicate nose, looking polite and handsome.

\"Xiaobai, don't be so rude to the teacher.\" Xiaolan squatted down, patted Xiaobai's head and said.

\"Hehe, it's okay, it's really my fault.So, kid, what's your name?\" Chigo squatted down and looked at Maori Shiro with a kind smile and asked.

\"My name is Maori Shiro.\" Shiro looked up and looked at Chigo.

\"Well, Xiaobai.I'm okay to call it that, right?\" Chigo asked after a moment's thought.

\"No problem.\" Shiro looked at Chigo with his hands in his pockets.

\"What did you learn karate for?\" Chigo's blue eyes stared at Kobai and asked with a smile.

\"Guard.\" Xiaobai looked at Chigo's eyes, this kind of look reminded him of a regiment leader he had faced in his previous life.

That was the first thing the regimental commander asked him when he first entered the battlefield, but he didn't know how to answer at the time, but now, he had his own answer.

\"Oh, yes?Guard!mm, nice idea.\" Chigo smiled and patted Shiro's head.

\"Makes you laugh.\" Xiaolan stood up and bent slightly to Chigo.

\"It's okay, he's very thoughtful.Guard, hehe.\" Chigo waved her hand at Xiaolan, and then looked at Xiaobai and said.

\"Okay, now follow me to get the uniform, if you can, start training from now on.\" Chigo looked at Xiaobai and said.

\"Hmm.\" Xiaobai nodded.

\"Then,Trouble Chigo-sensei.\" Xiaolan put her hands on Xiaobai's shoulders and pushed him towards Chigo.

\"I'm sure he'll be better than you.\" Chigo said as she looked at Shiro and said to Ran.

\"Well, I believe it too.\" Xiaolan replied as she looked down at Xiaobai.

\"Okay, Sister Xiaolan will go first.You can study with Teacher Chigo here, and go home early after school.\" Xiaolan touched Xiaobai's head and admonished.

\"Hi.\" Shiro turned around and nodded, and followed Chigo to the locker room.

\"Okay, here's your outfit, just change into it when you train.There's the locker room room, here's your wardrobe key.\" Chigo was holding a brand new kimono, and the gibe had a key on it, and he held it in both hands for Maori Shiro.

\"Hmm.\" Xiaobai took it and entered the locker room with the key.

\"Oh, guard.\" Chigo looked at Shiro, who was walking towards the locker room, and meditated on Shiro's answer.

...

\"Hello everyone, my name is Maori Bai, and I will study with you in the future.\" After Xiaobai changed into a white uniform, he went to the training hall and introduced himself to the dozen or so children below.

\"Okay, that's it, this is the new student Mao Ribai, and I'm going to study with everyone in the future.\" Chigo clapped his hands and said to the dozen or so students sitting cross-legged.

\"Hi.\" replied in unison to a dozen male and female students below.

\"Okay, in that case, let's move on to the basics.\" After Chigo finished speaking, the people below all stood up.and then they all stood up, and the distance between the two of them was about 10 meters.

\"You go too.\" Chigo patted Shiro's shoulder.

Xiaobai smiled and nodded, and also stood aside.

\"No matter what you study, the first thing is to be steady.And steady, is to be steady, to be steady.\" Chigo said as she walked.

"Therefore, the basic skill of stability is Zama step, Zama step, which is from the ancient Chinese martial arts, there is a saying in Huaxia \"Beginner first stand three years pile, to learn to fight first learn Zama\". Zamabu trains leg strength and hand strength, and only by being able to control the stability of his body can he subdue the opponent more efficiently.\" Chigo looked at the group of people standing as he walked.

\"This is not to teach you to fight or anything like that, but I just want to tell you that there is a process in everything you do, and learning karate is not for fighting, but for physical fitness, and more importantly, to be able to protect the people around you.\" Chigo said, then looked at Maori Shira.

\"Okay, without further ado, let's move on to the basics.come, follow me.\" Chigo looked at the students who were about to move, and made a standard horse step.

And the students below are also learning the movements of Sengo, with their legs spread outwards and their hands straight.

\"I really miss it.\" Xiaobai who was walking on the horse felt the movements of his body, all of which were so familiar.I didn't expect that the first class of karate would be like this.

\"The body is straight, the angle of the legs outward is too small, in the bigger.yes, that's it.\" I saw Chigo walk in front of one student after another, correcting their movements.

\"Well, you're doing a great job.\" Chigo smiled as she walked up to Shiro.

Xiaobai's answer was to look up and smile at him, but his body did not shake in the slightest.

\"It seems that he is really a good seedling.\" Chigo walked past Xiaobai's side, thinking to himself.

Twenty minutes later.

\"Okay, it looks like everyone is working hard today.Next we're going to train to punch.come, follow me.\" I saw Chigo do the standard Zama step movement, then put her hands on her waist, and then swung her left fist out instantly.

And the following students are also learning the movements of Sengo one by one, punching, closing punches, changing hands punching, closing punches, and this cycle has been like this.

As for Chigo, every time he punches, he will sweep the students with his eyes, and he sees that the movements are very standard, and when he sees Xiaobai, he smiles softly.

\"Alright, now our warm-up is over.\" After nearly half an hour, Chigo smiled as he watched some of the trainees panting.

\"Then let's start practicing our leg strength.\" Chigo looked at the panting students below and smiled and walked towards the other room.

When Xiaobai and the others walked into the room, they found that there were almost wooden stakes inside, there would be wooden stakes every few meters, and sandbags were placed in the corners of the walls on the side.

Directly in front of it is a glass door, and outside is a small pond with a small waterwheel in it.

\"Okay, let's take a ten-minute break and continue.\" Chigo looked at the students who were panting and clapped his hands and smiled, then walked to the glass door and opened the door, and the majestic wind blew in, making everyone present feel relieved.

The students seemed to be liberated when they heard Chigo's words, and they all sat on the ground with their hands on the ground, breathing heavily.

\"Hello, my name is Megumi Kanzaki.\" On Xiaobai's side, I saw a girl wearing a white dress, with pigtails on both sides of her hair, a small round face, big eyes, brown pupils, a slender nose bridge, and a cherry-like small mouth looking at Xiaobai.

"My name is Maori Bai.\" Bai replied by leaning against the wall and glancing at her.

\"It seems that you are stronger here.\" I saw the girl look at the students who were panting on the ground, and then at Xiaobai, who was not blushing or panting, was leaning against the wall.

\"Is there something wrong?\" Xiaobai looked at the girl in front of him, although she was indeed very beautiful, she would definitely be a beauty embryo when she grew up, but when he saw her eyes, it was so persistent, it was the persistence of victory.

\"You're different from them.\" The girl pointed to the student who was panting on the ground, and then to Xiaobai.

"What's the problem?" Bai shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently.

\"I'm going to challenge you.\" The girl's eyes were fixed on Xiaobai.

\"Please, I'm new here.,Besides, I don't know anything now.\" Xiaobai touched his head and said helplessly.

\"My instinct tells me that you are strong.\" The girl's eyes did not change at all, the kind of ** for fighting, getting stronger and stronger.

"Please, don't be so sure.\" Xiaobai shrugged.

\"Anyway, I'll look for you again.\" The girl looked at Xiaobai's indifferent appearance, then went to the side and took two sandbags and tied them to her legs, then walked to the stake, raised her legs and swept across the stake.

\"Alright, students.it's time to break, it's time to start training.\" Chigo watched the girl keep kicking the stake, looked at her watch, it was almost time, and then said to the students who were still sitting on the ground.

Xiaobai looked at the girl and shook her head helplessly.

After Xiaobai and the students tied the sandbags, everyone stood in front of the stake, and the girl who was still kicking the stake on the side didn't say anything, as if they were used to it.

"Sandbags can effectively protect the surface of your legs when you kick the stake.Although it will hurt a little, it will be much better than kicking the stake directly.However, the first problem that needs to be overcome now is the weight of the sandbag.\" Chigo also tied the sandbag and stood in front of the stake and said.

\"Okay, follow me.\" I saw that Qiango's legs were opened 10 degrees outward, and then a leg sweep, and the sandbag tied to the calf collided with the stake.

\"Hah... Ha...\" I saw kicking again and again, and the students below also learned Chigo's movements.

And the girl on the side didn't listen to Chigo's instructions, but she has been training herself.

...

"Alright, students, that's all for today's basic skills.\" Chigo said to the students who had stopped and loosened their sandbags and were sitting on the ground.

"Teacher, see you tomorrow.\" The students below forced their feet to reply as they stood up.

\"Well, today is good, much better than before.Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow.\" Chigo bent down slightly and said to the students.

"See you tomorrow," the students replied loudly.

After the students have already gone out one by one.

"Hah...\" and the girl stood on the stake and continued to sweep her legs, the setting sun outside the door shone on her, and the shadow was pulled up to the wall, moving with her movements.

And Chigo, on the other hand, glanced at the girl and shook her head before going out.

"Everyone be careful on the road.\" After the students had changed their clothes, each student walked out with a smile on his face and a uniform behind his back.

\"Xiaobai, you did a good job today.\" And as Xiaobai walked out, Chigo said to him as he was about to change his shoes and leave.

\"Huh?\" Xiaobai turned his head and looked at Chigo suspiciously.

\"Megumi is a very strong girl.\" Chigo sat on the ground and looked up, as if thinking of something.

"Really?" Xiao Bai picked up his uniform and looked not far away, and there seemed to be a noise inside.

\"Judging by your performance today, you should have practiced before, right?\" Chigo asked, pushing his glasses.

\"Well, I've practiced a little.\" Xiaobai also put his robe aside and looked out cross-legged.he knew what he had to tell himself.

\"Miss Xiaolan taught you.\" Chigo looked sideways at Xiaobai, who was sitting, and smiled.

\"I learned it myself.\" Xiaobai clenched his fist.

\"No wonder today's training didn't happen to you, it seems that you didn't put in a lot of effort before.\" Chigo said as she looked at the pedestrians outside.

\"Well, it's okay.\" Xiaobai put his hands on the ground.

\"Megumi-chan wasn't like this before.\" Chigo said to herself as she looked at the sky outside the door.

"Her grandfather was a strong karate player, and he was very demanding of her.and, whether it's karate or judo, it's really hard for a girl.\" Chigo said, looking up.

\"That's not a problem at all.\" Xiaobai seemed to think of something, and his hands holding the tatami mats slowly stretched out, lying on the ground and talking.

\"Oh?\" Chigo seemed to hear something incredulous and looked at Shiro lying on the ground.

\"No matter what you study, everyone is equal.Whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as you work hard, as long as you believe that you can do it, no matter what the problem is, it's not a problem.\" Xiaobai looked at the ceiling, and his thoughts drifted to the point where he didn't know.

\"Heh, I don't know why I'm telling you this, but my instinct always tells me that it's okay to leave Megumi's affairs to you, even though you're here for the first time.\" Chigo squinted and smiled.

\"It's really troublesome.\" Xiaobai sat up, although he didn't know Chigo's purpose, but Chigo didn't feel bad about him, otherwise he wouldn't have told him so much.

\"Heh, let's come on later.\" Chigo looked at Shiro, who was sitting up.

\"Well, if it's okay, then I'll go first.\" Xiaobai holds the tatami mat with both hands.

\"Alright, let's go home early.\" Chigo stood up and walked inside.

\"It's really troublesome.\" Xiaobai touched his head, and the robe behind his back jumped with Xiaobai's pace.

\"It seems that today's performance is too conspicuous.\" Xiaobai raised his head, remembering the girl's eyes.It seems that I haven't seen that look for a long time.

Māori Detective Agency

\"Uncle Maori, I'm back.\" Xiaobai opened the door on the second floor and shouted inside.

\"I'm back.,Isn't it hard to study today?\" Maori looked at Xiaobai who came in, stopped the hand he was holding the mouse, stood up, and walked towards the sofa.

\"Well, it's not bad.\" Shiro put his robe on the couch and sat on the opposite side to look at Maori, who was pouring water for him, replied.

\"Really,I don't have anything to learn karate.You know,I'll regret letting Xiaolan learn karate for a long time.\" Maori poured two glasses of water, one was placed in front of Xiaobai, and drank it while raising his head and holding it.

\"What's wrong with Sister Xiaolan?\" Xiaobai wondered.

\"It was my mistake to let Ran learn karate. Poof...\" Maori said, pouring another glass of water, and then drinking, just looking at Xiaolan outside the door, turning his head and squirting out the water.

"Bump... Dad, what were you just talking about...\" I saw Xiaolan outside the door punch the wall of the gate, and then looked at Maori with a clenched fist.

\"Ahem, Lan... I didn't say anything, haha.\" Maori said with a haha.

"By the way, are you going to eat?Xiaobai, we're going to eat too.\" I saw Maori looking at Xiaolan clenching his fists, as if he thought of something and said to Xiaobai.

\"Hmph.\" I saw Xiaolan let go of her clenched fist, and then walked towards Xiaobai, who showed her head.

"Xiaobai, didn't you work hard today?" Xiaolan squatted down and asked.

"Well, it's not hard.\" Xiaobai replied with a smile on his small dimples.

\"Hehe, let's go upstairs to eat after drinking some water.\" Xiaolan looked at Xiaobai with a smile and said.

\"Hi.\" Xiaobai replied with a smile.

\"Dad, you too.\" I saw Xiaolan stand up and glance at Maori, and then walked towards the door.

"Why is there such a big gap...\" Maori said as she looked at Xiaolan who had gone out.

"So, Xiaobai, you have learned, but don't be like your sister Xiaolan who destroys all day long.\" Maori said cautiously in Xiaobai's ear, as if he was afraid that a third party would hear it.

Xiaobai smiled and followed Maori upstairs.
