Basic Blocking

Cheng Na left coolly yet again. No one dared to take her words for granted anymore. Their hesitation lasted only a moment and they soon divided themselves into two-person teams in order to start practicing.

All of them had gradually begun to get acquainted with each other after one week. Inadvertently causing injury to a stranger because of misapplied force was one of their greatest worries, especially since they were engaging in one-on-one training with real swords. As a result, the first thing everyone did was look for an acquaintance or a classmate, or at the very least, someone who stayed nearer to them in the dormitories. 

None of them took the initiative to seek out talented students. The acting monitors went through the same process and formed pairs after a brief discussion. An awkward problem soon appeared, because a few minutes later, Cheng Ming and Xiao Lin were the only ones left without a partner.
