Chapter 12: Teacher Mei’s class is starting!
Outside the open corridor, the breeze blew through Kiana's long white hair, and her two braids swayed slightly, contrasting with her blue, gem-like eyes.
She stood quietly in front of the door, waiting for something, with a serious expression on her face.
The pink lips moved, opened, and closed, as if hesitant to speak.
"Could you tell me why you called me here? I still have 20 minutes before the club activity starts. Don't waste time. Oh, by the way, don't apologize. I'm not the kind of person who cares about small things. Don't worry."
After saying that, Akito narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Kiana seriously.
That's right; he knew Kiana had come to apologize, so he blocked Kiana's way in advance.
Take her way and leave her with nowhere to go.
"You! Humph, I'm here to look for Mei, who's looking for you? bleee~~"
Kiana stuck out her tongue and made a face.
Akito said calmly: "It was Mei who said you wanted to find me."
"She must have heard it wrong. I won't look for you!" Kiana said in a firm tone.
"Really?!" Akito was so overjoyed that he almost couldn't help laughing.
When Kiana saw Akito's eyes suddenly light up, she was startled and confused. She thought this person was weird.
However, she still upholds the fine tradition of the Kaslana family - being a tsundere.
Kiana said decisively: "That's right, remember, I will never, ever look for you, no matter what happens! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
Akito instantly thought that Kiana was a little cute, and sighed in his heart: 'You must keep your promise, the contract has been made, and those who break their promises will be punished by eating rocks.'
Returning to their seats refreshed, the students were packing their luggage and preparing for their respective club activities.
After all, it is in the Far East, and the school still attaches great importance to club activities.
Akito hummed a little tune as he walked downstairs to the Kendo Club.
Although it is called a kendo club, in fact, any weapon can be used, such as a wooden stick or a wooden sword. Because the club leader is a middle-aged man who specializes in teaching swordsmanship, it is also one of the few clubs led by a teacher.
'What was his name? It seemed to be... Zhende Haojian, um, a weird name.'
'But I have no right to say anything. Raiden Mei and Sato Yuna are both names from the Far East. As a Shenzhou native, I can be considered an outlier.'
'As for why I joined the Kendo Club...because I can skip classes!'
'Other clubs are either full or require members to complete certain tasks in every class. How can they be as good as the Kendo Club?'
'After all, there are only a few players in the arena, and the others can only watch. Isn't this a good opportunity to slack off? Take advantage of the teacher's inattention and slip away to do whatever you want.'
But the facts proved that Akito was wrong.
Due to various reasons, the number of female members in the kendo club has dropped sharply. The boys are naturally unhappy about not being able to watch pretty girls wielding swords and they quit the club.
As soon as Akito joined the club, he was recognized by the teacher and became the top star on the spot, serving as the signature of the Kendo Club to attract students to join.
'There are more and more people, but I guess I can't skip classes anymore and can only slack off.'
"Hey... Let's go home early after school. The dessert shop has been closed for the past few days. If I don't work, I will be so poor that I can't even afford to eat."
Akito lowered his head and sighed, then added after a moment of thought: 'It would be great if Bronya was here, her little treasury could support me for the rest of my life...'
After he finished speaking, Akito showed a rare lonely expression on his face.
"I wonder if she's doing well after I leave? Won't that idiot kick off the quilt and catch a cold in the middle of the night? Will she be so busy dealing with bugs because I'm not around? If it rains... will anyone send her an umbrella?"
"…"
Akito took off his shoes, walked into the spacious kendo club, walked quietly to a corner and sat down.
Gently close his eyes, lean against the wall, and rest and meditate.
Only when he calms down can Akito face his past. Those irretrievable memories are Akito's biggest weakness.
In his memories, Akito realized again and again how fragile he was, and not just in terms of his weak strength.
Akito knew that he was not as spiritually capable as the selfless great men, and he longed for that unattainable happiness.
He is not a hero, but just an ordinary person who hopes to be happy every day and live a quiet life.
The system gave him countless abilities that were beyond the reach of others. However, these unique abilities did not bring Akito any substantial happiness.
After experiencing so much, he realized that nothing is more important than living happily. If there is one thing, it is going home.
"Have you heard? Our school has invited the master of the Shenzhou sword world!"
"Really? If I remember correctly, the martial arts over in Shenzhou are very good, and the swordsmanship is also very good, right?"
"Of course, an ancient country with thousands of years of civilization is a joke to you? As for martial arts, although the martial arts taught by the Immortal in Shenzhou have been lost, there are still a few hidden families who have preserved the fragments. It is said that they learned the true qi through the fragments!"
"Real Qi?"
"Yes, using Qi to control the sword and the body can unleash the untapped potential of human beings. Strength and speed can be integrated, far exceeding that of ordinary people!"
"Really? Can we learn?"
"What are you thinking? That's the secret teaching of their master, how could they teach you! Let's just enjoy the sight. Usually, it's Mei Raiden who shows off, this time I want to see who is stronger between Mei Raiden's Hokuchin Itto-ryu and Master Ma."
Grandmaster Ma?
Akito came out of meditation and suddenly remembered that after the high school entrance examination, when he went back to Shenzhou for a trip, he happened to encounter a sword-fighting exchange meeting on the way.
He was also curious about what the top swordsmanship given by the system was like, so he challenged a middle-aged man named Ma.
The result is predictable. Even with Akito's strong defense, the opponent could only barely hold on for ten moves.
Then he gave himself a rookie award. Akito didn't want to accept it, but the other party insisted on giving it to him.
If he is not given anything, he will lose face and won't be able to survive.
What else could Akito do? He had no choice but to accept it.
However, this also made Akito realize his swordsmanship. When dealing with humans, as long as the opponent is not a monster like Durandal who can beat him to the point where he cannot take care of himself with just one punch, Akito can kill the opponent instantly. After all, Akito's reaction and agility are at the maximum level, at the normal level.
Of course, when facing the Herrscher, there is only one word: run.
Suddenly, Akito smelled that familiar fragrance again, elegant and fresh, just like the subtle fragrance of orchids in a valley, refreshing and refreshing.
Akito couldn't help but raise his head, opened his eyes and searched around for the source of the faint fragrance.
"eto... Akito, class monitor!" Mei held the wooden sword, her cheeks flushed, and her tone was flustered.
"Just call me by my name. What do you want from me?"
Akito accepted his fate. He couldn't escape it anyway. They were in the same school and class, so they would meet each other sooner or later.
Mei stammered: "That is, that... If the class monitor, no, if Akito needs it, I can teach you swordsmanship..."
Mei's voice became smaller and smaller, barely as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and Akito almost thought his ears were broken.
Akito looked at Mei seriously, then looked at his own hands.
He asked doubtfully, "You, teach me swordsmanship?"
