"Click...... Instigate...... "The sound of metal rubbing, like the sound of metal hitting a hard object."

The source of the sound was from the backyard, and when she noticed it, Iroh instinctively became alert.

He arched his back slightly, then walked out onto the balcony, and then jumped out of the window of the mansion.

He landed on the branches of a tree, and with the help of wind magic, he was able to silently step on the branches.

He followed the source of the sound, the sound of the beating getting louder and louder, and when he got to the back, Iroh could even hear a faint female voice, and he quickened his pace without disturbing the sound of the trees, and after a few moments, he was almost sure that the owner of the sound was Flanda.

Flanda? Elo's heart immediately filled with doubts, what did this person do when he ran out in the middle of the night without sleeping? Why is she here? Is she in danger?

Confused, Iroh immediately descended from the tree, then quickly moved through the jungle, running in a matter of seconds what would have taken him a few minutes to catch up on the tree.

The owner of the voice was Flanda, but she was not in danger, she was ......

Practice? No, no, it's not necessarily that Iroh is wrong, does this word really have even the slightest connection with Flanda?

Iroh rubbed her eyes, finally sure she was right.

Flanda was practicing with a long sword, and she was honing her skills over and over again to get closer to the sword technique that Iroh had used this morning.

She adjusted her posture repeatedly, then honed it again and again, and finally used the sword technique smoothly and consistently in front of Iroh to complete her satisfaction.

Again and again, after using it once, she was still not satisfied, and continued to devote herself to the next drill. Her actions are simply the opposite of what she said during the day, she was still a little genius who hated hard training during the day, but at night she became a meticulous and rigorous martial arts practitioner?

And after several drills, Iroh finally understood that Flanda was not a genius at all. Of course, it's not that she is not without talent, but in terms of martial arts talent, she is just an ordinary person with relatively good talent.

She has to hone her martial arts repeatedly, and she may even appear a little clumsy, because she may go astray without guidance.

Unconsciously, Iroh was also influenced by Flanda, and the definition of the word genius changed slightly. A genius should be a genius, and he can become stronger than ordinary people who work hard without cultivation, and it is because of this that he is called a genius.

"It's a success!" Flanda immediately cheered in the night where no one knew, and in this isolated space, Flanda changed her rude and willful image to become so innocent and lovely.

At the same time, she was full of fighting energy, although there was only a faint layer, but it was also a fighting spirit that naturally emanated from her body.

Compared to the previous sword skills, this kind of fighting spirit surprised Iroh even more. He knew very well how difficult this kind of Dou Qi was to cultivate, and the Dou Qi cultivation method that Ai Luo taught to Flanda almost didn't look at talent, and only improved his strength based on the number of times a cultivator cultivated. If you want to cultivate Dou Qi, then you have to cultivate at least five times. The duration of each practice is about half an hour, and five times is a full two and a half hours.

Counting the time to eat and take a bath in the afternoon, and the time when everyone had to go to sleep, plus the time she spent creeping out and practicing martial arts alone, it was not enough for two and a half hours of free time.

No, if you insist on that, after Frenda returned to the room willfully, maybe she wasn't lazy to sleep, but secretly cultivated her fighting spirit......

From the above point of view, Iroh can come to a conclusion, that is, in a place where no one is around, Flanda has been secretly cultivating alone, all the time, never stopping.

What is she trying to do? To casually pretend to be a genius in front of people, but to work silently behind people's backs, is it just for that kind of boring vanity?

Iroh didn't believe that such a smart little girl could be so stupid in such a thing, not to mention that her actions didn't seem to care about what others thought of her, that is, what kind of person she really was, and this kind of thing was not a problem in the eyes of inconsequential people. She hardly interacts with people, and she never deliberately tries to maintain her image, what is the purpose of her doing this?

"It's good to go on like this! Hey, hey, hey. Flanda sat on the ground, undaunted by the cold of the night.

And the expression on her face turned out to be ...... An innocent smile?

Iroh thought that this person's expression would only show contempt, arrogance, sneer, ridicule, and dissatisfaction, but he didn't expect her to show such a ...... when there was no one around. Such an innocent and even a cute smile?

Iroh felt like she was dreaming.

The probability of this kind of thing happening in real life is higher than the probability of happening in a dream.

"When the time comes, my father and queen mother will pay attention to me, and I will become a star that is more dazzling than my brother, and then my mother will not ignore me, and my father will talk to me more...... I'm a genius after all! ”

"The students in the academy will also apologize to me because I was really admitted to the Sky Academy. Miriam and Pandora will be friends with me again, and when the time comes, I will generously tell them that I am indeed a true genius, that they are not a prank, and that although my magic is insulated from me, I am a genius in martial arts. ”

"That hateful tutor will also be proud of me, he will teach me with great care, and then teach him martial arts, and when people say that I am his pride, he will tolerate my little willfulness, indulge my little temper, worry because I don't cultivate, and worry because I don't work hard, but every time I see my cultivation involuntarily improve, he will show a knowing smile."

"I'm a genius after all!" Flanda finished talking to herself, as if she had refreshed herself, smiled and stood up again, then picked up her sword and slashed again.

Her physical strength is estimated to be almost at the limit, and I don't know what she has done to get to where she is now. But she still didn't let up at all.

This level of perseverance can be compared to that of Arlo when he was in the Holy See.

Iroh can almost understand this heaviness, not because he is focused on martial arts, but because everything in his heart is chaotic and disorganized, and he can only resort to martial arts to try to get out of the predicament.

Is this what Flanda really is?

"......" Iroh fell into deep thought.

An event similar to the melting of a glacier had occurred in his mind, and for the first time he was slightly moved by this girl.

Iroh is almost certain that her formation of this character is no accident, it must be all kinds of pressures in the world that have made her who she is now, she is not acting as this false genius because of her desire for expression and vanity, she must have a deeper reason.

Iroh sighed softly, then stood up and turned away, leaving the empty and lonely back garden for this girl who was very strong on the surface.
