After feeling the pain, Yang Xiao was a bit incredulous. He hadn't expected that Shinpachi, who looked so average, would be so strong—kicking him away with just one blow.
Although Yang Xiao knew he had only used half his strength just now, his opponent had definitely held back as well when fighting him.
From this, it was clear that even if Yang Xiao went all out against Shinpachi, Shinpachi would still be able to handle him.
"It seems you've trained your Quirk?" Shinpachi was a little surprised. In his mind, Yang Xiao should have been kicked at least several dozen meters away by that kick, but it was only about ten meters.
This showed that Yang Xiao had probably trained his Quirk, but for ordinary people, if they didn't know how to train their Quirk, it would just be a waste of time.
"I just practiced randomly," was all Yang Xiao could say.
"In that case, I can have a simple bout with you. No need to hold back too much. Just come at me and attack however you want," Shinpachi said casually.
On the other side, Toga was standing with Tsuki Kagura, and this group was at least fifty meters away from Yang Xiao's.
"They've already started, so let's begin too," Tsuki Kagura said. She was wearing a tight blue cheongsam today. Though not tall, the beauty of her legs was still striking.
"How do we start?" Toga asked.
"Tell me about your Quirk," Tsuki Kagura said.
After a moment of silence, Toga said, "My Quirk is that if I collect someone's blood, I can transform into that person."
"What did you say?" Tsuki Kagura showed an excited expression upon hearing this. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Is there a problem?" Toga asked, puzzled. She didn't understand why Tsuki Kagura was so excited.
Tsuki Kagura stared into Toga's eyes for a few seconds, feeling very happy. It seemed this was true.
If what Toga said was true—that her Quirk allowed her to transform into others by collecting their blood—then the efficiency of the Broken House's work would definitely double with half the effort in the future.
And there would be no need for Toga to stay in logistics anymore, as she wasn't among the Broken House's field operatives.
"That's fantastic!" Tsuki Kagura smiled cheerfully, pointing at Toga and saying, "If your Quirk is transformation, then your combat ability is very low."
"Yes," Toga admitted. There was nothing to hide—her fighting ability was indeed very low.
"In that case, I'll train you in physical combat, and then you can go on missions with us," Tsuki Kagura said, looking at her.
"Ah? You want me to go on missions with you?" Toga was speechless. "Don't joke around. I'm a logistics worker, not a combatant. This kind of thing requires professional deployment. How can a girl like me do this?"
"Why not?" Tsuki Kagura said disdainfully, "I'm a girl too—why can I?"
"You..." Toga looked at Tsuki Kagura and couldn't say anything. She wanted to say, "Can you even be considered a girl? You're so harsh and have such a bad temper."
The main reason was that Tsuki Kagura was too strong—much stronger than a normal person.
However, Toga didn't dare say these words out loud, afraid that Tsuki Kagura would hold a grudge.
"You can't say it, can you? In that case, just follow my instructions. From now on, I'll teach you some basic fighting techniques," Tsuki Kagura said seriously. Toga had no choice but to agree.
"Bang!"
Yang Xiao was kicked away by Shinpachi again. The two had been fighting for several rounds from the start until now. What surprised Yang Xiao was that Shinpachi hadn't used his hands at all so far—he had been fighting him with only his legs.
It seemed Shinpachi's Quirk was in his legs, and Yang Xiao still didn't know the specifics of Shinpachi's leg Quirk—only that his legs were very powerful.
"Your Quirk is very good, but your physical skills are too poor. You're already defeated before I even show my skills, so we have to start by improving your physical skills first," Shinpachi didn't continue attacking but explained from the side.
"I'll listen to you, Shinpachi," Yang Xiao had no objections. It was absolutely true that his physical skills were very poor.
No matter how powerful the Holy Light was, it would be useless without superb physical skills, so Yang Xiao had to practice physical skills diligently.
In Yang Xiao's opinion, a recommended student with strength like Todoroki Shoto wouldn't be able to withstand Shinpachi's attacks. That level of ice couldn't stop Shinpachi's kicks at all—he could shatter the ice with one kick.
However, during the Sports Festival, Todoroki Shoto's strength improved. By then, perhaps Todoroki Shoto could compete with Shinpachi?
"Let's not talk about anything else. With your physical fitness, start with push-ups on the parallel bars. First, you need basic physical fitness, and then you can train in physical skills," Shinpachi nodded and pointed at Yang Xiao. "Let's start with forty push-ups. Can you do it?"
This was a joke. Forty—even a hundred—push-ups were easy for him.
However, Yang Xiao didn't say it out loud. He just lay on the ground and started doing them.
When he did ten push-ups, Shinpachi didn't react. When he did twenty, there was still no reaction. But when he finished forty in such a short time, Shinpachi couldn't help but ask, "Have you exercised before?"
"Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to work at the Broken House so illogically. I originally thought it was just a part-time job, but who knew I'd end up joining an organization without realizing it? It's like going to a breakfast shop to buy breakfast and ending up bringing home a 'Tofu Xishi' [a beautiful but unattainable woman]. You know, this is ridiculous."
Yang Xiao spread his hands, expressing his helplessness, but this helplessness was within his acceptable range because this was the only way for him to become stronger.
Shinpachi wanted to laugh after hearing this. When he joined the Broken House, there weren't so many issues. He was originally from a family, and the Broken House had existed for a long time and had connections with his family over the years, so joining the Broken House was basically a given for him.
"Then what's your limit for push-ups, pull-ups, and squats?" Shinpachi took a breath. He felt a little dazed recalling his past.
"Right now, I can do 300 push-ups, 50 pull-ups, 300 squats, and the others aren't much different. If I use my Quirk, I can do even more." Yang Xiao's words made Shinpachi's mouth twitch. Even he wasn't as impressive as Yang Xiao.
Now it seemed his previous thoughts were a bit mistaken. This Xiao Yang wasn't a tender shoot but a dragon in the making. As for whether he could grow into a true dragon, it would depend on his luck and perseverance.
