The first time Yunlai Swordplay was taught.
The location was Lisa's backyard.
Teacher Keqing, adhering to the principle of honoring a bet, put on the crotchless black stockings prepared by the unruly student Jack.
That day, Jack understood a truth—erotic attire indeed had the effect of increasing attack speed.
...
The second time Yunlai Swordplay was taught.
It was during an afternoon in the Minecraft World.
To prevent harassment from students, Teacher Keqing specifically wore a black teacher's hip-hugging skirt.
But before the teaching even began, she was already bent over by the student Jack.
Afterward, Keqing chased Jack for ten kilometers using Yunlai Swordplay.
...
The Nth time Yunlai Swordplay was taught.
It was at the hot spring where everyone was bathing together.
Keqing, Kamisato Ayaka, and Nilou took turns testing Jack's swordsmanship achievements.
Finally, they concluded that his swordsmanship was third-rate, his stamina first-rate, and his spear-art super-first-rate.
Both the person involved and the evaluating instructors were very satisfied, and to celebrate this joyous occasion, they pestered Jack to evaluate his spear-art scores several more times.
...
Back to the present.
In Jack's eyes.
Teaching swordsmanship had clearly become a family cultural exchange activity no less important than sparring in spear-art and cannon-art.
It was an effective tool for promoting emotional connection between husband and wife.
For this, he even specifically sought advice from True Monarch Xian Yun and others.
He diligently practiced his third-rate swordsmanship until it reached second-rate.
All for the purpose of promoting communication in occasions like today.
...
Smack!
Jack's wooden sword struck Takao's inner thigh horizontally; despite a slight stinging sensation, a smile bloomed on Takao's face.
"Your footwork is wrong, you're taking too small steps. How will you move next? Won't you trip?!"
"Yes! Commander!"
"Don't call me Commander right now. Now, please call me Teacher!"
"Yes! Sennsei!"
With a sweet, delicate "Sennsei" called out, Jack almost lost his composure.
Sure enough, it had to be the Sakura Empire language; it immediately brought out the right flavor.
"Cough! Alright, let's move on to the next sword form."
Hearing this, Takao ran her sword-finger over the wooden sword and gracefully performed a series of sword moves.
Swish swish swish!
Beauty dancing with a sword in progress...
"Hmm, this form is executed well, but having a good memory isn't always a good thing. Liyue swordsmanship emphasizes intent over form. After mastering this set of sword forms, you'll need to forget the fixed patterns and combine them freely."
"Is this the swordsmanship of Eastern Radiance from another world? It truly is profound."
Takao praised with longing, then she and Jack simultaneously turned their heads to look at the dojo entrance.
It was Ibuki, dressed in a nightgown.
"Takao, you practice by yourself for a bit. I'll go check on Ibuki."
"Alright."
Takao put away her wooden sword and walked to the side.
Puyo puyo~
Her external armor and beautiful buttocks were fully exposed. Upon closer inspection, these areas of skin showed red marks, as if they had been struck by someone.
What kind of play is this! Why is Sister Takao so happy even though she was hit?
Ibuki was stunned, as if a new world had opened up for her.
Snap!
A snap of fingers brought Ibuki's thoughts back.
"It's so late, little Ibuki. Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing at the dojo?"
"Master!"
Ibuki jumped like a little rabbit, nervously clutching the corner of her nightgown.
"Um… I accidentally woke up and found Master wasn't in bed, so, so I came out to look."
"You don't need to be so nervous. Look at you, your hair is still sticking up."
Jack ran his fingers through her hair, using the subtle power of fire and water elements to act as a curling iron, giving the lazy Ibuki a beauty treatment.
With one hand sliding from her head to her hair tips, Ibuki's long hair instantly cascaded down like a waterfall.
"Do you still feel sleepy now?" Jack asked.
Ibuki shook her head.
"Then come with me. If you're interested, you can learn the swordsmanship from another world with Takao."
"Um… does Ibuki also have to wear clothes like that?"
"Oh?"
Jack turned his head and smiled at Ibuki, who had a good sense of self-awareness.
"Of course! These are clothes made from high-grade elemental materials. They are excellent guiding materials for you to feel the elemental power of Teyvat."
Allowing the Shipgirls to feel elemental power.
This was a topic Jack had considered even before teaching Takao.
Yunlai Swordplay was originally modified by Keqing to fit the Electro element; if it was just flashy moves, it wouldn't be very meaningful for Takao.
Jack discovered this problem during the sword practice.
But seeing Takao's enthusiasm, he didn't want to teach a useless skill, so he deepened it further.
Taking this opportunity, Jack wanted to try, in the name of the Heavenly Principles, to bestow god's eyes upon his Shipgirls, allowing them to gain power beyond that of the Mind Cube.
After all, when he played Azure Lane, Takao, being an early Shipgirl, stopped leveling up after level 110 and didn't break through further.
This is the real world, and leveling up is much harder than in the game. To effectively increase strength, one can only find an alternative path.
Moreover, ever since arriving in the second world and encountering forces beyond the concept of a single world (Siren, unknown enemies that destroyed the Meta world), Jack developed a sense of crisis.
Worlds are like countless stars in the sky, with endless unknowns hidden beyond them. Only great power can protect himself and his family from the encroachment of the Dark Forest Law.
This was true for him, true for the Genshin girls, and also true for the Shipgirls.
In this ultimate evolution, no one wanted to fall behind, and he would never allow anyone to abandon the team on their own accord!
...
Before long, Ibuki had chosen her battle attire.
A crystal-blue dancer-style outfit.
The top consisted of X-shaped ribbons tied around her waist, with large areas of skin exposed on her back.
The bottom was a blue patterned lower garment that clung tightly to her lower abdomen and thighs, like a body paint sticker.
A pair of blue silk thigh-high stockings extended down her legs, and at her feet, they were a stirrup-sock style that only covered the arch of her foot.
"Master, Ibuki has changed… Does it look good?"
Ibuki asked, hands behind her back, looking at Jack with sweet innocence.
Jack gave a thumbs up.
"Excellent! You have very good taste; you're great at picking clothes."
"Hehe~ Really~"
After being praised, the child smiled as sweetly as if she had eaten honey.
But while she was sweet, someone else felt a pang of sourness.
"—Commander, I, I forgot a move? Could you please help guide me again?"
Takao's voice came from behind.
Jack looked.
He saw the girl striking a very bold high-kick pose, her normally heroic eyes filled with a foxy charm.
How come I don't remember Yunlai Swordplay having high-kick moves? Though bending over certainly does.
Jack did not expose Takao's trick but instead walked directly over with Ibuki.
"Don't worry, tonight is still very long, and for the next few days, I will be here to teach you."
Jack took the wooden sword and lightly struck the areas on Takao that needed "tidying up" a few times.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The red mark deepened again.
It seemed like he was correcting her posture.
But in reality, it was just light S&M.
Takao's face flushed crimson, and she let out a satisfied "Hmm~" before continuing to practice the fixed stance.
"Ibuki, you should learn too."
Jack said that.
Ibuki nodded her small head vigorously.
Then she obediently stuck out her backside.
After waiting for dozens of seconds, she looked back at Jack.
"Master... aren't you going to hit?"
Jack slapped his forehead.
"What kind of image do I have in your mind, exactly? Do you really think I'm just playing perverted games with Takao, and not actually teaching swordsmanship?"
Ibuki was shocked.
"Eh?! Isn't that right?!"
