I Am Not Great Cook

Mutou Judai had been getting up very early every day recently, and at very consistent times.

Because—he was always awakened by the sign-in system's reminder.

Today was the same.

So after opening his eyes, he directly pressed today's sign-in according to the system's prompt.

[Sign-in reward: Navy Six Styles - Soru (Basic Version)]

Hm!?

In an instant, Mutou Judai was shocked by this reward and the sudden new ability he had gained.

What the hell!?

After sitting up, while feeling Jack Hanma's template merge with him to thirty percent, he hurriedly looked at this reward.

—He even rubbed his eyes.

After confirming he hadn't seen wrong, he finally reacted—it was Soru from the Navy Six Styles.

Shigan, Rankyaku, Soru, Kami-e, Tekkai, and Geppo—these were the Navy Six Styles, techniques from One Piece, a manga that was hugely popular in his previous life...

Soru as a technique was simple to explain—it involved stepping on the ground dozens of times in an instant to achieve ultra-high-speed movement with an effect similar to instant teleportation.

But...

Even with his current physical condition, Mutou Judai felt he might not be able to complete this technique.

But now, after receiving this reward, some completely unscientific images suddenly appeared in his mind, and this technique... if it were the current him...

—It seemed like he could actually use it!

"And this is a technique from the One Piece world... so this sign-in system can draw techniques from supernatural worlds besides supernatural abilities like curses..."

Thinking of this, Mutou Judai slowly smiled.

"Then what if I draw something like Haki or Devil Fruits..."

"No, too small, thinking too small—Super Saiyan would be more direct, one step to the top!"

Mutou Judai thought about such things, then after adapting to the physical enhancement of merging with thirty percent of Jack Hanma, he directly went into the courtyard.

—He wanted to try this Soru technique.

Moreover, with his current physical condition, if he could even complete Soru, then according to Jack Hanma's memories, many techniques that Jack Hanma had seen in the Baki world might also be usable here.

For example, Doppo Orochi's Sonic Punch!

Doppo Orochi could do it when he first appeared, so as thirty percent Hanma alien, he should be able to try it at least.

Supersonic punch probably wasn't possible now.

He probably couldn't do things like power release and power dissipation either.

But that Sonic Punch...

What if he could do it~!

...

Soryuin Akemi was a very disciplined person.

Whether in study or exercise, she could always arrange her daily time to just the right degree and strictly follow the schedule she had initially set.

Every day was like this.

So when Soryuin Akemi woke up as usual and saw that the light in her sister's room was still on, she was somewhat surprised.

After all...

"Usually sister should still be sleeping at this time..."

She said this, then slowly pushed open the room door, and saw her sister—the director of Korakuen Academy, Soryuin Shion—still sitting at her desk, holding a document and constantly reading it, as if thinking about something, her expression not particularly good.

"Sister?"

With Soryuin Akemi's voice, Soryuin Shion also turned to look.

After seeing her beautiful, athletic, academically excellent sister with good manners, like a perfect superhuman, Soryuin Shion's expression improved a bit.

"Akemi... I remember you're going to help at the orphanage today, you should be leaving."

Hearing her sister say this, Akemi nodded slightly but still looked at Soryuin Shion with concern.

"Did something happen?"

Akemi asked this, while Shion casually placed the document face-down on the desk, then smiled and shook her head at Soryuin Akemi.

"No, nothing major on my end. Although it's a bit troublesome, overall it's something that can be solved by working overtime, not too much trouble."

Although Soryuin Shion said this, in the instant she casually placed the document face-down on the desk, Akemi still saw it.

What she was holding was someone's profile.

Although she didn't see the person's photo, she saw their name and affiliation location.

—Nikaido Ren, Fighter, Affiliated faction...

Toyo Electric!

...

Soryuin Akemi had actually only recently started learning about Kengan.

Although she liked exercising and was a serious muscle enthusiast, this didn't mean she liked fighting—so regarding things like Kengan, even though she was a member of the Soryuin family, because she and Soryuin Shion were sisters, Soryuin Shion had never actively made her contact these things since she didn't want to understand them.

Her recent slight contact with Kengan was triggered by...

—Fighter 'Tiger', Mutou Judai!

After being saved at Great Universe Bar, even through clothes, Soryuin Akemi immediately discovered Mutou Judai's muscles!

They were different from ordinary people, a very special muscle form she had never seen before!

Unlike Coach Machio's perfect muscles at Silverman Gym, Mutou Judai's muscles were more like treasures naturally specialized for fighting.

They were steel forged through thousands of hammer blows, they were gold... no, diamonds!

Her love for muscles was very intense.

So she used this as an opportunity to watch the Kengan match between Mutou Judai and Himuro Ryo, thus slightly understanding and contacting Kengan.

This also let her know some things.

"Sister is troubled by Kengan... but I can't help with this kind of thing, since I'm not good at fighting and don't know any powerful fighters."

While thinking about these things, Soryuin Akemi ate breakfast, tidied up a bit, then headed toward Mutou Orphanage.

After all, although she wanted to share some burden for her sister, being unable to help was sad but unavoidable.

So right now she could only hope things were really as her sister said—something that could be solved by working overtime. However, from her recent understanding of Kengan matches, if you lost this extension of business warfare, the losses would definitely be more than that.

Otherwise, her sister, who usually basically never stayed up all night, wouldn't have gone without sleep all night constantly worrying about these things.

Soryuin Akemi sighed.

But before pressing the doorbell of Mutou Orphanage, she also adjusted her mindset.

No longer the worried and sighing appearance from just now, but restored her smile.

After all, she was coming to help at the orphanage—she wanted those children to see her smile, not bring negative energy to them.

Since she couldn't help her sister, she should at least try not to cause trouble for her.

Soryuin Akemi was already thinking this way.

Then everything that happened next seemed like fate's guidance to her.

That lazy youth with slight dark circles slowly opened the door, then in the clearest morning sunlight, met with her once again.
