Chapter 15: Before the Match

"Good afternoon, classmate Li Xingze."

"Oh, Guan Ling, is there anything you want to call me today?" As I spoke, I sat down in the empty seat directly across from Guan Ling

At this time, Guan Ling came over, sat next to me, and said, "There are quite a few." ”

"What?"

Just as he was about to continue asking, the waiter came over: "Guest, do you need anything?" ”

Guan Ling took the menu, looked at it and said, "Coffee, do you want it too?" ”

"Well, I'd like a cup too."

"Two cups of coffee."

Guan Ling handed the menu to the waiter and said, and then the waiter nodded and left.

"Guan Ling, what's the matter?" I asked when I saw that the waiter had left

"Look around, what those people are doing." Guan Ling curled the corners of her mouth and said

I looked around as she said, and there were quite a few people around this café, after all, it was a weekend, and there were all sorts of young men and women, similar to us.

"Got something?"

Guan Ling tilted her head and said

"I don't know."

"It's a date."

"yes, what's going to be done?" I said lightly

"Wait, your reaction is too cold."

"Actually, I also have something to say today, don't $1$ book$ read $ novel (.( yb)(d)(u).) It still starts with you. I said

As I spoke, the waiter came over and handed us the coffee we had ordered, and I took it and took a sip. After the waiter left, Guan Ling lowered her head slightly, and then continued softly: "Is this so, then first of all, about some things about the school, I'm very sorry, have you read it?" ”

"Look, it's okay, just don't come back a second time."

"Forgive me, won't do it again, I promise you."

Hearing this, I was silent for a while: "Very good. ”

"Also, another thing..."Guan Ling continued

"What?"

"Classmate Li Xingze, let's live with my sister now."

"Yes." I don't know how she found out, but I replied

"Any troubles?"

"Annoyed?"

"About the future."

"I don't know."

"Graduate, get married, work."

"I don't know."

"For example, after graduating from this academy, you will marry me."

"It seems ordinary."

"Really, that's it, start with me first, and then ...... after graduation"

"Okay."

"Is that okay?"

Dating me first, getting married after graduation, the reply is ok, it's so simple that it's not sincere than writing a review.

"Enough of this topic to stop first, I think so, you didn't have anything you wanted to do before, hatred, revenge and the like"

"That's... It doesn't matter anymore, whatever. ”

"Is it" It was still the same not long ago, it doesn't matter anymore, I don't know how. The encounter with the person in front of you is, after all, fate.

"You look young, are you a member of the school's staff?"

"Sixteen, it's just that I'm stuck in that school."

"It's true that at this age, I'm still older." I said

"I'll be in that school a lot of time, so let's talk about another thing, I'm going to teach you a little bit about the original spirit." Guan Ling said

"I know that in the Holy Water Spirit Academy, I only teach mechas, and I don't have any knowledge about abilities and anything like that."

"It's very ordinary, because the characteristics of the rough gem holders are varied, and many of them are unique, making it difficult for the teacher to be alone."

Guan Ling said, I also understand when I hear this.

"I see, let's do it."

"So, from today onwards, let's start with the master first, our relationship."

I nodded

"Great."

Guan Ling smiled, this result was indeed unexpected, but it seemed to be unexpectedly passable. Guan Ling has outstanding ability, but unfortunately sometimes it will be short-circuited. Even so, it doesn't matter.

"That's all for today, I'm going back."

With that, I stood up, my coffee was gone, and it was time to go.

"Get back to me someday, Hoshizawa."

Guan Ling said this before I was leaving, I glanced at it and walked out of the café.

***

The relationship between the master and the apprentice is similar, as it should be. Then I went home and my sister was sitting on the couch. I guess the things I bought back before have already been disposed of.

"Brother, where did you go all of a sudden?" Lan Yue said with some dissatisfaction

"I met with an acquaintance."

"yes, forget it, it's okay, that hand?"

"The wound is almost healed, and it's okay to train a little."

"yes, let's get started, just practice for a while, after all, your wounds aren't completely healed yet."

"Hmm," I nodded

It's about three o'clock in the afternoon, and I can practice my sword skills until dinner, and I have a spare room at home dedicated to practice. Walking in there, it was first a warm-up exercise, and then it was time to have a direct confrontation with Lan Yue.

I decided to adjust my mood, took a deep breath and went to a corner of the room, ready to have a few tricks with my sister, which happens occasionally during the week, and today it's time to duel with her.

And after that process, I was cleaned up. Lan Yue's action today and her worry about my wound are completely different things, her character of venting her dissatisfaction whenever there is a problem, made me think about it again, and silently vented her dissatisfaction on the sparring practice.

Those few minutes of practice were really tough.

"Brother, let's start the game on Monday, don't overtrain."

"Well, of course."

The tricks of training are just three simple basic movements, practice one move a day, in order to become proficient, you must do this, and now is the time to lay the foundation, according to Lan Yue, the foundation of swordsmanship is very important. It needs to be very mature before you can consider using the mech, so it is probably not possible at this stage to be able to use it in the next competition.

…… After a day, Sunday also spent more time practicing sword swinging. Time flew by, and then it was Monday. This day is finally the beginning of the peer battle ranking competition.

I arrived in the classroom of Class A-13 early in the morning, and there were many students there who looked quite motivated.

"It's time for men to show themselves."

"I've done a lot of extracurricular exercises recently, and it's finally today."

Many boys with strong competitive spirit have already warmed up, and at this time, a man with red hair also walked in front of my eyes: "Xingze, although I have only been here for a long time, Lao Tzu also participated in this competition." ”

"yes, don't lose too badly."

"What are you kidding, Lao Tzu said this to meet you again in the dueling arena, wait, let you see Lao Tzu's progress during this period of time."

The red-haired man snorted coldly and went back to his seat, and at this time another student came to the table next to me, she was Chikuka, and it seemed that she didn't come so early today.

Not long after she appeared, the bell rang for class, and the head teacher, Mr. Wu Feng, also came at this moment. She came over today without anything in hand, and she looked like she was going to the battlefield.

"The peer ranking competition will start in a while, and when the music starts, we will start the internal competition within the class, because there are only five students from each class, so I want everyone to do well. I and a few other teachers, not only based on the results of the competition, but even if you lose on the way, you may be chosen. ”

Teacher Wu Feng said this, in fact, today, what is going to be done is a duel within the class, and it is also the same existence as the battle power ranking competition within the class.

"We've been waiting for a long time, teacher!"

"The duel is divided into two processes, morning and afternoon, and your battle list has been assigned, and we will send it out immediately."

A few students at the front table passed down the white battle list, which clearly recorded the battle list for each region and the start time of each match. Players who do not arrive after the time limit will be considered a forfeit.

I looked at the battle list a little and quickly found my name, my one was held in the E-2 duel arena, the time was the second round after nine o'clock, first of all, because there was only one area of the duel field held by the class, and two duels could be fought at the same time in one area, and I was after the first round of the duel was completed, and the second round should be my round.

"Everybody's got it, get ready to go."

By this time, the battle music had already sounded, and the students in the class had lined up and were ready to move towards the target location.

Immediately, under the guidance of the teacher, the students began to set off, and when they came to the outside of the corridor, they saw not only their own class, but also other classes had lined up to go to their respective battlefields.

In fact, there are a total of eight combat areas in this academy, and our class is going to the fifth area. After a short walk, the group quickly reached the entrance of the fifth battle area. The teacher opens the mechanical iron door there with his staff card.

"Jiuhua, did you also participate in this competition?"

After a moment's wait, I asked the girl standing in front of me

"No, I'm not participating."

"Why, it's true that you're quite strong, aren't you?"

"Xingze, I actually plan to participate in work like exploration and reconnaissance after graduation, and that doesn't require strong combat power, so it's okay if you don't do it."

"Is it..."

Guan Ling said before that the holders of the original stone are generally relatively low-key characters, and I can understand that we are a small number of people, and it is probably not something to praise for casually revealing our identities in the face of a group of strangers.

Immediately, as the iron gate opened in front of them, the students who had been lined up in two began to walk in front of it.
