Chapter 15: Body training (2/2)
“Don’t you have any interest in seeing just how strong the genuinely elite teachers are in the academy? No one would have seen these elite teachers in action without my great efforts.” Belo curled his lips and said, “Too bad, the difference in level is still so far. These teachers didn’t reveal any secret skill at all, the scene was simply not stimulating enough.”
“The Ximos jumped in the stands already, is that still not stimulating enough?” Ayrin’s teeth itched with resentment. “Even senior students were afraid to go, why did you charge up and hit it?”
“It’s not like we can die with the teachers there. The Ximos is a rarely seen monster, don’t you think it’s very fun and fulfilling to give it a punch or two?”
“…”
“Ah, we can’t watch the Beast Battling Exam now. Maybe we can go beat up a few people and collect protection fees?”
“I’m not going!”
…
He was very interested in that Gale Sting move Belo had used during the brawl inside the canteen, but after experiencing the incident inside the Beast Training Field, Ayrin had the feeling he’d be slapped into a flat cake on the ground sooner or later if he followed Belo to do whatever it was. So after buying a great pile of food, he went straight back to the Ivy district. He was ready to make his way to the forest of huge trees outside, obediently start practicing the foundation drills arranged by teacher Huston.
Teacher Huston couldn’t be said to be an elite teacher in the academy in any way, and he was also the treacherous Notebook Teacher who loved face to death, but Ayrin had come to a realization from many aspects. Whether it was because teacher Huston really had his own tricks for teaching students, or because students didn’t dare not listen to him since he was quite a deviant, anyway in teacher Huston’s classes, the results the students ultimately obtained in the exams were quite a lot better compared to other classes.
Last time at the brawl inside the canteen, the leaps and nimble backflips of those senior students had left a deep impression on Ayrin. Today, the formidable physical strength of that fully bearded teacher Minlur even made his scalp tingle.
With such a formidable body, ordinary arcane masters wouldn’t be a match at all even if he didn’t use any arcane power.
Such formidable body strength and nimbleness were all tempered out from foundation training in ordinary times.
“Did you hear, something unexpected happened in today’s Beast Battling Exam. They lost control of the Ximos, the three elite teachers even had to go into action.”
“An accident happened? I forgot to go there and take a look today, hurry up, tell me what the hell happened.”
“Apparently someone deliberately gave some recovery medicine to the monster. The result was, it sent an examinee flying out in one slap. In the end, it even charged up on the stands. But nothing bad happened apart from that student getting injured. I heard that teacher Minlur is really strong. He didn’t even use arcane particle, he clashed with the monster with just his own body, but knocked the monster so hard he sent it sprawled on the stands, it couldn’t crawl back up.”
“Teacher Minlur is the one with the sturdiest body among the teachers to begin with. It’s not only because of the power of his bloodline. They say he’s more passionate about foundation training than arcane training. I heard senior students say before, this teacher used to hit trees and bump into trees like a raging bull when he had nothing better to do.”
Ayrin heard the discussions of some senior students on his way to the forest of giant trees.
“Hit trees, bump into trees… It sounds useful.”
In an instant, these great trees stretching to the sky in the forest outside the Ivy district suddenly all turned into enemies in Ayrin’s eyes.
…
“Pa!”
In an empty spot inside the forest of giant trees, Ayrin used all his strength and smashed his fist on the huge tree in front of him.
“That hurts!”
His arm and body shook abruptly, and his face immediately became distorted.
Prior to that, he’d already completed the set of foundation training Huston had planned. His body was already soaked in sweat.
His fist was a little swollen red after he hit the tree with his full strength. He didn’t stop there however. Instead, he suddenly leaped up and crashed his entire body against the tree in front of him.
“Ah!”
Another miserable scream rose inside the empty forest.
Ayrin was like a flat dough as he slid down along the tree’s trunk, flopping on the ground.
“Ah!”
“Ah!” …
Miserable screams rang nonstop in the forest, one after another.
The forest welcomed the possibly funniest training scene in recent years.
An immature figure jumped and jumped in front of a huge tree. First he punched and kicked it a few times. When his hands and feet were all hurting til he didn’t even know where to put them, his body would bounce up and crash against the tree, then became paste on it with an “Ah!” before sliding down.
“This guy…”
A young teacher stood on a branch at the top of a tree not too far behind Ayrin. This young teacher was the one Ayrin met before at the registration, teacher Carter.
Carter wanted to laugh when he saw Ayrin looking so laughably funny, but his laughter had a little trouble coming out in the open at the same time.
His figure finally moved a few minutes later when he discovered that Ayrin still didn’t intend to stop. He drew dots on the tree trunks with extreme nimbleness, catapulted himself down at flying speed from the treetop several dozen meters high.
“Ah!”
Another miserable scream. This time, however, Ayrin noticed one more person in the clearing after sliding down from the tree.
“Cartman…Teacher Cartman?” Ayrin said, a little uncertain. He looked at Carter even as he rubbed his fists and feet.
“…” Carter shook his head, a little speechless, then said, “I’m teacher Carter, not teacher Cartman.”
