The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the expensive solid wood floor of the apartment.
"Good morning~ my tsundere little princess~"
Mari Makinami was still wearing a loose white shirt, her long legs crossed as she sat by the dining table, swirling a glass of milk, a playful smile on her lips.
The morning light highlighted her shapely curves, exuding a lazy, sensual allure.
"Who are you calling a princess! And also, stop looking at me with that infuriating gaze!"
Asuka rushed out of the guest room, her orange hair a mess. Clearly, she had been thoroughly tormented by a certain bespectacled girl who enjoyed sneaking into beds at night.
She glared fiercely at Mari Makinami, grabbed the toast from the table, took a bite, but her gaze involuntarily drifted toward the balcony.
There, Hansen stood with his hands behind his back.
The morning sun cast a faint golden glow on his handsome profile, giving Asuka a heart-stirring visual impact.
—*What the heck, it's not like I haven't seen handsome men before. Why do I have these strange thoughts when I look at this guy...* —*I know! It must be the fault of that shameless, Perverted Glasses Girl! It has to be!*
Gulp... (Sound of swallowing)
Hansen: Monster Succubus, just so you know.
Asuka's face flushed with annoyance. She immediately grabbed the milk on the table and chugged it down, trying to soothe her complicated emotions.
Ding-dong—
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Coming, coming—"
Mari Makinami lightly jumped off the dining chair and ran barefoot to open the door.
"Teacher, we're here... Huh?!"
Outside the door, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami arrived together.
Today was a holiday, and they were accustomed to reporting to Hansen for Special Training.
However, the situation today was a little unusual.
Seeing an unfamiliar, sexy older sister opening the door, Shinji Ikari paused hesitantly.
Rei Ayanami, however, instinctively narrowed her eyes. Besides Mari Makinami, she also spotted Asuka eating and drinking heartily by the dining table.
The moment she saw Shinji Ikari, Mari Makinami blinked, then leaned closer and sniffed lightly: "Oh... this smell. It's NERV's Puppy-kun!"
"And First Children."
Looking at Rei Ayanami's charming face, which closely resembled Senior Yui, Mari Makinami's eyes sparkled. She smiled and greeted the two, seemingly ignoring the hostility in the girl's eyes.
"I'm Mari Makinami, currently the Supervisor's private assistant. Please take good care of me from now on~~"
Shinji Ikari's cheeks flushed crimson from Mari Makinami's enthusiasm. Although he was gradually growing into a qualified warrior, he had never experienced a situation like this.
The intimate distance—close enough to hear breathing, almost skin-to-skin—combined with the fact that Mari Makinami was a top-tier S-rank beauty with perfect looks and figure, meant the boy couldn't suppress his nascent longing for the opposite sex and his physiological instincts. He nearly stood at attention right there.
Fortunately, Mari Makinami knew when to stop. After briefly introducing herself, she stepped back. As she passed Hansen, she gave him a cat-like, squinting smile of approval, looking perfectly obedient, as if asking to be praised.
Hansen gestured for Mari Makinami, who appeared to be wearing nothing underneath her shirt, to go back and change into normal clothes. Only after she returned wearing an English-style shirt, short skirt, and black thigh-high stockings did he call the Three Little Ones over.
"Since you've all arrived, prepare to begin your Training."
The four EVA Pilots sat in a row, listening to Hansen explain the key points of the Water Breathing Technique... wait, the Water Stream Breathing Technique.
Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami, who had some prior experience, quickly got into the zone, while Mari Makinami and Asuka were slightly slower.
However, both of them were carefully selected EVA Pilots and were practically synonymous with genius.
Under Hansen's active guidance, they soon felt the existence of the Water Stream Qi generated by the Breathing Technique.
For the next few hours, Hansen taught them the moves of the Water Stream Fist one by one. The living room was filled with the sound of bodies colliding and Asuka's defiant shouts.
Mari Makinami occasionally let out a few clear laughs, and whenever Asuka collapsed from exhaustion, she would hand her a towel and water, taking the opportunity to grope her a little.
"Oh my, those leg lines are truly beautiful. As expected of someone from an elite education."
"St-stop it! Where are you touching!"
"It's a massage, a massage! Just relaxing your muscles. It wouldn't look good if they turned into stiff muscles~"
Although Asuka called her a pervert, she didn't actually push Mari Makinami away.
She could feel that those seemingly unruly hands were genuinely using a special technique to help alleviate her soreness.
—*This woman... aside from her bad personality, she's not that annoying after all...* Days of Special Training always passed quickly, especially when the Teacher was a cheat-like pervert.
Hansen hadn't interacted much with Banggu, but how could the Eye of Oracle, obtained from the Ultimate Creature King Orochi, be useless?
With just one glance, he had effortlessly acquired the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, which had already reached a state of simplicity and naturalness in the old man's daily movements. Coupled with the innate advantage of being a Transmigrator who had watched the anime, he didn't just know the moves and philosophy of the Water Stream Fist like the back of his hand—he could use them with ease.
Teaching this group of Problem Children before him was naturally no issue.
Although Asuka verbally dismissed the Water Stream Fist, saying, "What use is this slow-moving boxing style?", her body was extremely honest.
Her talent was indeed astonishing. In just two weekend days, she had already grasped the basics of the Water Stream Fist, catching up to the progress of Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami.
The same was true for Mari Makinami. Cultivated as the backup pilot for eva unit-02, her talent was equally outstanding.
Furthermore, due to her intimate relationship with Hansen, her daily one-on-one time far exceeded that of the Three Little Ones, meaning her progress was in no way inferior to that of the genius girl Asuka.
During this time, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred in the relationship between Asuka and Mari Makinami.
From initial resistance, Asuka was softened by Mari Makinami's carefree yet unexpectedly warm attitude. The two even exchanged many private topics about that man while tucked under the covers late at night.
Of course, it was mostly Mari Makinami teasing and Asuka blushing... Monday morning.
In the living room, the savory aroma of last night's Miso Soup still lingered in the air.
"Hoo—xi—"
Asuka sat cross-legged on the carpet, her hands resting naturally on her knees, her chest rising and falling with a strange rhythm.
As her breathing deepened, she felt the blood in her body transform into a rushing river. Every pump of her heart aggressively transported oxygen to every part of her body.
"Your posture is too rigid, Your Highness."
A cool finger suddenly poked her back near the spine. Asuka jumped, almost choking on her breath.
"Relax your shoulder blades. Imagine your body is water, not stone."
Mari Makinami held an apple, took a crunching bite, while her other hand naughtily poked Asuka's tense back muscles.
"You're clearly a girl, so why are you so stiff?"
"Mind your own business, you Perverted Glasses Girl!" Asuka opened her eyes in annoyance, about to retort, only to see the other woman pulling her extremely close face away, her blue-green eyes behind the red-framed glasses full of mischief.
"Alright, stop teasing her." Hansen walked out of the kitchen, holding three glasses of milk specially prepared with Divine Power. "Remember to balance work and rest. Sometimes, excessive hard Training can be counterproductive."
"I know!"
Asuka took the cup. After drinking it, the warmth spreading from her stomach made her squint comfortably.
Over the past few days, she had to admit that under this man's guidance, her physical capabilities were undergoing a qualitative leap.
That technique—its effect was so strong it was practically cheating!
