Chapter 39: Lesson 1
Chapter 39, Lesson 1
"I'm not boasting, but I think you've all gotten a rough look at what you can get about me, right?" This is a Japanese-style dojo that looks very old-fashioned, but is actually full of all kinds of high-tech things, and in this dojo, all the main members of the Ministry of the Environment's countermeasures are gathered - if their enemies launch a surprise attack at this time, they might be pleasantly surprised. That surprise was now standing in the middle of this empty dojo, that was Zhao Mian, who was wearing a casual clothes that was easy to move and slightly moving his muscles, "And in the last incident, I should have met with everyone." So let's just throw away the cumbersome stuff of self-introduction β let's get straight to the point. β
"The reason why everyone is coming here today is actually to do something like a strength test - ah, don't care. Zhao Mian noticed that Izuna was obviously a little anxious on the sideβof course, this could also be caused by the gaze of Mr. Iwabata who was sitting next to him, but Zhao Mian nodded at him and continued, "Your information was delivered to my room the day after I signed the agreement, and I read it carefully. But I also believe that what can be written on paper is not your true strength - after all, what you promised will be solved, and if you can, a beautiful solution is the best. β
"So, what kind of test do you need?" stabbed Kagura who was sitting on the edge of his side with the hilt of his knife, and Huang Quan leaned forward slightly without changing his face and asked, "Do you use the equipment here?"
"No, while there are enough objects in the arena here to test your strength, the kind of effect that doesn't happen in battle is still not enough - what I need is the power that you burst out of the field. Zhao Mian nodded at Huang Quan, "Besides, you don't actually need to respect me so much - I'm just a coach you hired, and you bought my time with money, so it's my duty to make you even stronger than you are during this time." So, there is no identity gap between us, please don't be inhibited, and maintaining your individuality at all times is also a powerful manifestation - when you are cowardly and humble, you have actually lost. β
"If that's the case...... Coach, what exactly is the content of the test?" Huang Quan looked at the uneasy girl beside him with a little hesitation, then suddenly smiled, turned his head and asked.
"Fight with me. Zhao Mian stood up in the middle of the dojo, then reached out and patted the dust on his body, and looked around at the people around him, "It is divided into three parts, the first part, I will take turns with each of you in a battle- In this part I will suppress my strength to the extent that I am in your file, in the second part, I will fight me in the same group as you usually go on duty, and I will slightly increase my strength to a situation where I can put some pressure on you, and finally in the third part, you will attack together, and I will adjust my own strength according to the tests of the first two tests. β
Everyone present frowned - especially Iizuna among them, who did not see the power of Zhao Mian with his own eyes, he had an attitude of not believing what was written on the material, so when this kind of contempt for them happened, this man stood up.
"Well, let me do it first. He stood up and moved his lower limbs, which were somewhat paralyzed by kneeling, and beside him a multitude of fox-like creatures gathered, two of which even climbed up his shoulders and touched his cheeks affectionately.
"If you wish. Zhao Mian raised his eyebrows indifferently - the other party was hostile to him, which was good, because sometimes there were certain reasons for them to show their true strength. So, Zhao Mian further teased the other party's nerves, at this moment when the other party had already revealed his position, he just kicked his leg slightly, and then made a gesture of invitation to the other party.
There may still be a hint of hesitation on the other side, but after Zhao Mian gave the gesture of please, he didn't even need the other party's instructions, and the group of huge pipe foxes swept towards Zhao Mian who was still standing in place like a white storm - and then, without the slightest sign of fighting back, Zhao Mian was swept into the white mist.
"Well, such a large collective, if it is used to collect intelligence, I am afraid it will achieve a terrifying effect. But it's a bit of a bravery to use it for a direct attack. From the group of tubes, a pair of hands stretched out straight, then opened outwards, stopped the expansion of both hands after pulling to the limit that the human body could bear, and then slapped them together. "Buzz~~~~!" was not accompanied by a crisp slapping sound, at the moment when the palms collided, the air gathered because of the diffusion power violently hit and made a piercing buzzing sound, and with the spread of the sound, Zhao Mian's body was revealed from the group of pipe foxes- There was not much pride, not even the slightest exuberance, when the last tube fox was still limp hanging on him, Zhao Mian began to charge, using his legs, like an ordinary human step by step, to launch a charge over there.
One step, two steps, three steps - it was only at this time that Iizuna reacted, he sank his face, then bowed slightly, pulled out the pistol hanging from his waist as fast as he could, and then without the slightest hesitation, pulled the trigger on Zhao Mian.
"Fire suppression?" There was no timidity at all - this was not because the opponent's weapon could not even penetrate his own skin, but because Zhao Mian deduced from the trajectory of the bullet he observed that the opponent could not hit him, he concentrated his attention a little bit, and then calmly approached the opponent quickly from the opponent's shot.
But this is not the end, Iizuna began to retreat a little bit, and the two pistols in his hand also began to shoot alternately, and in the process of his continuous retreat, some pipe foxes appeared from his side, and then quickly left some traces on the ground, and the remaining power on these traces quickly formed an abstract pattern, and the power began to show from it.
"Well, the next person's test will be conducted outdoors. Zhao Mian suddenly stopped his charge, but this pause was very short, he stopped his steps outside the spell set by the other party, although he didn't know what it was, but it seemed that it would be very troublesome if he touched it, and then stopped his left foot slightly hard, accompanied by the mournful roar of the wooden floor under his feet, his right foot stepped heavily on the completed rune - a crack extended forward from his foothold, the crack was not very wide, not even far away, only less than half a meter away. But it was just such a rift, the spell laid out by Iizuna lost its effect, the channel of power was blocked, and the power that was already ready to be used escaped in the air after a few random dances - and the distance between Zhao Mian and Iizuna was only less than three meters.
However, Zhao Mian didn't continue to move forward - he stopped his steps, not far in front of the opposite side, who was already gasping for breath, "Well, this is the end of your test, I have seen your display of strength, and I have seen your own reflexes in the face of the enemy, so- this is the end of it." With that, he turned around and walked towards the courtyard of the dojo, "The next test will be conducted outdoors, because the wooden floor is not suitable for actual combat. β
"Why?" Behind Zhao Mian, the man who was still panting suddenly raised his head and asked loudly, "Are you so arrogant that you don't even want to give me the last blow?"
"You really ......" The cold touch stained his skin, and the cold air peculiar to metal penetrated into Iizuna's skin little by little, and a little pimple was spreading on his skin. The voice of the words was still coming from the entrance of the courtyard, and Zhao Mian had already put Grossag on the other party's neck, "Are you sure you need a final blow?"
The other swallowed.
"Dignity is meaningless in a real battle of life and death β just as arrogance. Zhao Mian stuffed the big sword in his hand back into his space bag, he stared at the other party's eyes, and the fear was spreading, "I hope you can show your greatest strength in front of me, and I don't mean to look down on you- Because you are so young, I am even older than all of you combined, and the gap that has accumulated over time, whether it is strength or physical fitness, or even the experience of fighting with all kinds of living beings and non-living beings, is not what you call talent can be brought closer. β
Zhao Mian turned his head and looked around at all the people who had stood up, but had not rushed overβin their hands, the weapons had already been prepared. "So, by the way, let's talk about the first lesson. Zhao Mian took down the Guan Hu who had sneaked up on his shoulder, and then put it back on the ground - the Guan Hu sniffed his fingers, and then returned to his own group, "The first lesson - only by surviving can you have everything. β
