Only I Have the Law: Tokyo Fantasy Daily Life

Page 54

Ichikawa Yuon immediately took out her phone, opened a video, and handed it to Hoshino Saori to play.

On the screen, a yo-yo expert demonstrates a variety of dazzling tricks.

Spinning upside down, a silver dragon from outer space, traveling around the world...

The yo-yo seemed to come alive in his hands, tracing incredible paths through the air.

Saori Hoshino stared in disbelief, her mouth slightly agape.

She never imagined that such a small yo-yo could be played with in so many ways.

"Okay, so awesome!"

"Yes, these moves look really cool."

Yuon Ichikawa sighed, "That's why I don't know which one I should learn."

Yato-hime asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't you discuss this with your friends?"

"Ji, don't say such hurtful things."

Saori Hoshino immediately picked up the conversation in a weathered tone, "In this world, there are some people who have no friends."

Her words carried a hint of self-deprecation.

If she hadn't met Yatohime, she would have been the kind of high school girl who "had no friends".

Ichikawa Yuon quickly explained, "Hoshino-san, you've misunderstood. I have friends."

It's just that it's not convenient to talk to them about practicing yo-yoing.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face: "If I tell them, they will definitely ask me for the specific reasons."

If they knew I did this so I could perform a yo-yo act at my brother's birthday party... they'd definitely laugh and call me a 'brother-obsessed' person again.

Her tone was clearly tinged with frustration and a hint of grievance.

She really didn't understand why her friends thought that way.

In her view, everything she did was simply fulfilling the duties of an older sister.

Preparing nutritious lunchboxes for her younger brother, helping him choose well-fitting clothes, discouraging him from dating too early, and hoping to hear genuine praise from him...

Aren't these all things that a normal older sister would do?

Although my younger brother did say things like "I want to marry my older sister when I grow up" when we were little, that was of course impossible.

From both a legal and biological perspective, consanguineous marriage will not end well.

“In short,” Ichikawa Yuon shook off those distracting thoughts and got back to the point, “I can only ask you to help me make a choice.”

"In that case, let's choose the Heavenly Silver Dragon."

Yatohime gave her advice swiftly and decisively.

She intuitively felt that techniques with flashy visuals and impressive-sounding names would be more appealing to children.

Yuon Ichikawa paused for a moment, then instinctively wanted to name another technique that was also under consideration.

But before she could speak, Yatohime had already made a firm decision: "This is it. Don't hesitate any longer, start practicing now."

"……Hi."

Yui Ichikawa swallowed back the words she was about to say.

The reason she chose to seek help here was because she valued Yatohime's intimidating presence and decisiveness as a "delinquent".

She needs someone who forces her to make a quick choice and then forces her to throw herself wholeheartedly into the tedious practice.

We must master the Heavenly Silver Dragon technique before Shota's birthday!

She secretly hardened her heart.

Yuon Ichikawa immediately clicked on the detailed tutorial video for "Celestial Silver Dragon".

Hoshino Saori noticed that Ichikawa Yuon's school uniform left pocket was also bulging, and couldn't help but ask, "Is that pocket of yours also filled with yo-yos?"

"Yes."

Yuon Ichikawa answered truthfully, "Some complicated techniques require using two yo-yos at the same time."

Saori Hoshino's eyes lit up instantly, and she said eagerly, "Let me borrow that one to play with, I want to try it out too!"

"Okay."

Yui Ichikawa readily pulled another yo-yo from her left pocket and handed it to Saori Hoshino.

The two watched the instructional video for "Silver Dragon from Outer Space" with great concentration.

With the expert's skillful and smooth demonstration on the screen, the whole movement looked effortless and seemingly very simple.

Saori Hoshino confidently picked up the yo-yo and swung it around as she remembered the movements.

Then she discovered that it wasn't as simple as it seemed at all.

In the video, someone else easily flicks the yo-yo, and it spins precisely around the left index finger.

But when she threw it, the yo-yo couldn't flip over at all.

"How strange, it's completely different from what I saw in the video."

That's because you haven't mastered the techniques and timing for applying force.

Qingze pointed out the key point from the side.

Hoshino Saori immediately pouted and protested, "Teacher, I did exactly the same swinging motion as in the video!"

"The key lies in the instantaneous exertion of force in the wrist and the control of that force."

Seeing how difficult it was for them to figure it out, Qingze decided to personally demonstrate in order to speed up the progress of this "commission".

He took the yo-yo from Saori Hoshino and briefly weighed it in his hand to assess its texture.

Then, he casually flicked and tossed his wrist.

The yo-yo instantly transformed into a blue blur, deftly wrapping around the left index finger once, and then smoothly swung to the right index finger, just as demonstrated in the video tutorial, successfully completing a beautiful "double landing" basic move.

This scene left Hoshino Saori speechless.

"Teacher, did you study this specifically before?"

"Such a simple action, can't you learn it by watching the video once?"

Qingze spoke calmly, as if stating an obvious fact.

For him now, participating in any sport is like turning on "easy mode".

Even if he had no prior experience with it, just by watching a demonstration, his superhuman physical abilities, nerve reaction speed, and muscle control would allow him to grasp the essence of it instantly, and even perform it more perfectly than the top professional athletes in the sport.

There is no other reason.

No matter how talented or how amazing their skills are, professional players are still ultimately within the realm of "humanity".

Just like how Yatohime can shoot three-pointers in a game, it sounds amazing, but it is essentially the result of a combination of extraordinary ball sense and powerful arm strength developed through hard work. It is still within the limit of what "human" ability can achieve.

Qingze, on the other hand, is completely different.

After being reinforced by the label multiple times, his physical abilities can no longer be measured by "human" standards.

Under the astonished gaze of Hoshino Saori, Aozawa effortlessly completed the entire "Celestial Silver Dragon" routine.

In his hands, the yo-yo bounced, fell, wrapped around, and spun around deftly, tracing smooth arcs before finally being steadily returned to his palm.

Saori Hoshino immediately clapped her hands enthusiastically and exclaimed, "Amazing! Teacher, I never knew you had such talent!"

"Just average."

Aozawa said modestly, then turned to Ichikawa Yuon, who was still in a daze, and took on the role of mentor, "Alright, Ichikawa, when I saw you try it just now, your wrist was a bit stiff and the angle wasn't quite right."

Come, I'll teach you how to exert and control your strength.

With his extraordinary sensitivity, Aozawa can clearly "see" every subtle flaw and error in Ichikawa Yuon's movements, and thus provide targeted and effective guidance.

Chapter 63 The Night of the Hunt

For most people, knowing where the problem lies does not mean they can correct it successfully.

Because the ability to "make effective changes" is itself a rare talent.

Even though Aozawa had clearly pointed out the mistake Ichikawa Yuon made in using her wrist, it was still difficult to change her deeply ingrained habit.

In contrast, Saori Hoshino appears to be exceptionally gifted in this regard.

In a very short time, she not only mastered the basic skills of "Silver Dragon in the Sky", but also learned "Eiffel Tower", and wanted to challenge the more difficult "Rotating Inverted Hanging".

However, the lunch break was short, and with afternoon classes approaching, Qingze stopped their practice.

The group returned to their respective teaching buildings to prepare for the upcoming classes.

After the afternoon classes ended, the group gathered again at the philosophy club.

Aozawa continued to patiently guide Ichikawa Yuon in practicing "Heavenly Silver Dragon".

Even with his good temper, after repeatedly pointing out the same problem and the other party still struggling to correct it, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unavoidable anxiety.

But he knew very well that it was precisely at times like these that he must not show his anxiety.

Because Ichikawa Yuon was very diligent and hardworking, she studied very seriously. However, due to her limited talent, the results of her efforts were far less remarkable than those of Hoshino Saori.

Qingze could only suppress the agitation in his heart and patiently correct her movements again and again, from the angle of her wrist to the rhythm of the moment of exertion.

Even by the end of today's club activities, Ichikawa Yuon was still unable to complete the full set of movements for "Celestial Silver Dragon".

"I'm so... so sorry!"

Ichikawa Yuon bowed deeply, her face filled with regret and self-reproach.

Qingze forced a gentle smile and comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry, we'll keep trying tomorrow."

"Yeah, yeah, not everyone can have such extraordinary talent as me~"

Hoshino Saori stood to the side, her chin slightly raised, her small face full of undisguised pride.

Seeing her like this, Qingze couldn't help but raise his hand and gently tap her forehead. "Just say less, don't undermine Ichikawa's confidence."

"Teacher, you're so unfair..."
