Chapter 5 Cultivation
Hearing the voice from the teacher, Dio turned to look at Maya, and immediately noticed a look of bewilderment on her face, and after a moment, she replied in a whisper, "Bring it." ”
"Then you come to the podium and share it with you. ”
Maya stood up with some hesitation and walked slowly up with her book.
Dio frowned slightly, as he heard mocking chuckles from other directions. The teacher at the podium should have heard this, but he didn't do anything, and he didn't know whether he was indulgent or didn't care.
It was in this situation that Maya began her reading.
“...... The first pain was the most intense and uncomfortable, hurting the place where she thought she was safest, hurting her heart and her love. She may not be elegant, but she has a noble soul that can be expressed under the impulse of passion, which is the main thing that sets her apart......"
Although Maya struggled to control her voice, others could still hear the tremor from within, so the laughter below became louder, which made the trembling in her reading even more severe.
"Ahem, be quiet!" the literature teacher didn't seem to be able to see it either, and his speech stopped the class from becoming further chaotic.
In this case, she managed to finish reading this excerpt, but at this time, the classroom seemed to be caught in a silent barrier, and there was no response to her, leaving her to stand alone in front of the podium, not knowing what to do.
Bang Bang Bang ......
The crisp applause tore through the curtain of silence and saved her heart from getting colder and colder. She looked towards where the voice had come from, and saw Dio sitting there, quietly watching her, his hands open and closed in front of his chest.
"Dio-san, what do you think?" the literature teacher's gaze turned to Dio.
"I think Maya is very good, isn't it? Dio replied flatly.
Teacher Satophine stared at Dio for a while, paused slightly before continuing: "Yes, Maya-san, you go down, then the next ......"
Maya walked down briskly with the book in her arms, paused as she passed by Dior, and softly said thank you.
Dior smiled back. His memory is more and more vivid under the guidance of this familiar scene, this scene he has already experienced once, but at that time he was not mature He could only silently bless the object of his crush below, but he did not dare to stretch out his hand openly, and only regretted it after many years had passed, and now that he had the opportunity to do it again, he naturally would not miss it again.
The rest of the class passed uneventfully, but the red-haired girl left to look at him at the end of the lesson, making Dio understand that the other party had transferred some of his hatred for Maya to him.
Dio didn't pay attention to this at all, but stopped Maya, who was packing up her personal belongings and preparing to leave: "Wait a minute, Maya, are you going to participate in club activities in the afternoon?"
Maya, who stopped, looked at Dio fixedly, as if she wanted to discern his intentions, but when her eyes met, she involuntarily looked away and shook her head slightly: "I'm not going, I'm going to the library to read." ”
"Alright, I'm going to the library too, and we'll meet there. ”
"Huh?" Maya opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.
"That's it, I'll go to the library to find you when class is over. Without giving Maya time to react, Dio finalized the agreement while the iron was hot.
"Ah...... Yes...... Good. At this time, Maya reacted, quickly picked up the books and stationery, and left the classroom quickly.
It wasn't until Maya left the classroom that Dio withdrew the smile from his face. For him, the reason why he had a crush on Maya in the past was not mixed with feelings such as sympathy or finding warmth from someone who is worse off, but as time passed, it didn't matter, and now he just wanted to make up for it.
A snapped hand slapped on Dior's shoulder.
He looked back and saw a boy with freckles on his face pressed on his shoulder.
The boy's name was Montolo, and he was one of the only classmates in the class who had a good relationship with Dior.
"How did you offend Taylor?"
"Taylor, the redhead?" Dior asked rhetorically.
"Well, that's her. Montolo dragged a chair over and sat down across from Dior, "Her boyfriend is Feredo, those people are very difficult to mess with, and Taylor's father is a school director, you should be careful, maybe she will trouble you recently." ”
"I see, thanks. Dio nodded and thanked him, "By the way, you're more well-informed here, do me a favor." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Help me find out what's going on between Taylor and Maya, and what's going on with menstruation?"
"No problem, I'll go ask someone from the other class. ”
Montolo was very efficient and gave Dior an accurate answer before the end of the third class in the morning.
“...... When I was bathing after swimming lessons last week, it seemed that Maya had her period but didn't understand, thinking that she was injured and asked for help from others, and was humiliated by Taylor, who was present at the time, and it was a big trouble, and later Taylor was called to the disciplinary office and punished, and even the All Souls' Day Ball was disqualified. Taylor thinks it's all Maya's fault, so he's been very targeted at her during this time......"
Listening to Montolo say this, Dio understood what happened, remembering the original timeline, soon Maya would suddenly disappear silently, and there was no news again, at that time Dior also went to look for it, but found nothing, and finally could only let time slowly dilute the memory, and now it seems that it may be related to this incident.
In this regard, Dior's heart was a little heavy, but it was more of a surprise, a surprise that the time to return here was just right, if it was a little later, then it would be too late, and now there are infinite possibilities.
After the morning class, Dio packed up his belongings and felt for the money left in his pocket, calculating how long he could still support his suddenly growing appetite. After roughly allocating the food expenses for the next few days, he left the teaching building, went to the cafeteria to buy the cheapest and largest meals, and began to wander around the whole college after solving the problem in three or two.
His current cultivation is divided into two parts, of which the breathing part has been arranged at night bedtime, although the sleep time is reduced, but the effect of replenishing energy is very good, and it can completely make up for the lost sleep time. The other part is the Dance of the Sun, which is specially designed to strengthen the body and train fighting skills, and this part of the training requires a lot more space, so it is natural to find a suitable place to do it.
Pale Sacred Deer Senior College occupies a very vast area, in addition to teaching buildings, independent libraries, swimming pools, stadiums and other large facilities, there are also large areas of grass, hills, trees and other terrain, some places have not been developed and few people go, which gives Dior a lot of choice.
In the end, Dior chose a remote glade as his place of activity, which was the perfect place for him because there were few people who came.
Taking off his shirt and placing it on a stake, Dior walked straight to the middle of the clearing and stood still. There is no shade from trees, the sun can shine directly without hindrance, this season is close to summer, the afternoon sun is very hot, and Dior is soon scorching all over his body under the explosion.
Dior closed his eyes and, following the corresponding steps of the breathing method, placed his hands in front of his chest, touched his fingers with his palms facing outwards, and made a specific mudra. Time passed little by little, Dior could feel the flow rate of the blood in his whole body fluctuating at a strange frequency, and then there was a feeling of itching and numbness, like countless ants crawling in the flesh and blood, this feeling was really terrible, fortunately, soon there was a hot breath from the skin layer into the flesh and blood, the itching and numbness was greatly weakened, and at the same time, the skin on the skin that was originally burned by the sun cooled down, but this does not mean that the heat of the sun has disappeared, but transferred to his body, as if the blood vessels are flowing magma, and every breath is swallowing flamesThis, in turn, stimulated his heart to contract at a very high rate, squeezing out the blood and nutrients for every part of his body.
"The intensity of such a workout is more powerful than doing all the iron man decathlon once, and it involves the blood, muscles and nerves of the whole body, if you don't rely on the breathing method to activate the potential in advance, the average person will definitely not last a few minutes before he will completely collapse, and even his life may be in danger, this dance of the sun is really domineering, and it is no wonder that even if the ancient civilization has a sacrifice that will be passed on. ”
Feeling that the body has entered a state of balance, Dio knows that the preparations have been done, and began to practice step by step according to the posture of the Sun Dance in his mind, unlike the fighting skills he has learned, every movement of the Sun Dance is very strange and complex, including a combination of a variety of power methods and breathing coordination, which is not friendly to beginners, anyway, Dio fell to the ground many times during the practice and breathed, until the effect of the breathing method is over, he will complete about one-eighth of the movements.
Dior, who had stopped, closed his eyes, summed up the mistakes he had made in this practice, and left the clearing only after straightening out all the qiē.
Wiping off the sweat on his body with a towel, Dior put his shirt back on, only to feel refreshed, although his body was tired and his muscles were sore, but his spirit was unusually sober, and his whole body was warm, and a stream of heat kept circulating in his body, which was very comfortable.
