Playing It Safe Is the Way
"Not bad, not bad at all. As expected of the geniuses in the Special Class, your learning speed is indeed quite fast! Skills that take ordinary people half a day to master, you have completely mastered in just one hour!"
After they learned to climb trees and Water Walking, Ye Liangnai clapped and praised them. The three of them couldn't help but show their pride and feel a great sense of accomplishment.
"Then, let's begin the next exercise!"
Ye Liangnai looked at the three of them, took out three scrolls and handed them to them, saying, "I have written down what you need to do next on the scrolls!"
Upon hearing this, the three immediately opened the scroll, which read, "Live-fire exercise."
The specific operating instructions are indicated below.
"Ms. Ye Liangnai, isn't this... a bit too much..."
But after they finished reading the contents of the scroll, they couldn't help but show signs of retreat.
What does it say here? Run 10 kilometers on a cliff in 15 minutes.
It takes fifteen minutes to travel ten kilometers on the open sea!
They felt that this was simply asking the impossible.
Ten kilometers! Even on flat land, it would take them about twenty minutes.
Let alone under extreme conditions like cliffs or the sea!
Under these conditions, they need to expend enormous energy to take every step.
This is simply impossible.
"Can't finish? Really? You're just giving up like this?"
Hearing their words, Ye Liangnai glanced at them, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Are you sure? Think it over carefully. What will be the consequences of refusing me!"
Hearing Ye Liangnai's words, the three exchanged glances, swallowed hard, and then said, "I... we... will participate..."
Just like Ye Liangnai said, rejecting him would have serious consequences, and they didn't want to ruin their future.
"To encourage you, I'll definitely run with you! How about that? Aren't I a really friendly teacher!"
Ye Liangnai smiled again, but in Natsume Yuki's eyes, he looked like a devil.
Running alongside them was supposed to be encouragement? They felt it was more like supervision!
But naturally, they dared not refuse.
And so began their arduous running career.
"Have you heard? Ye Liangnai has been running with Natsume Yuki and the others Tenten, running on cliffs and over the sea. I wonder, what's the point of that?"
"Maybe it will work. Ye Liangnai wouldn't do anything reckless, would she?"
"I have a bit of a feeling that this is risky. It seems that Ye Liangnai- na doesn't have any teaching experience before!"
While the Team 2 was still running around, the other teams had already begun carrying out their missions.
In particular, the Team 1, Team 3, and Team 4 have already completed one or two C-level missions, which has inspired many people to take them as their role models and work hard silently to complete C-level missions as soon as possible.
The Team 2, however, has made absolutely no progress.
Keep in mind that they had already been training for more than a week.
The other squads had already gained considerable combat experience, but the Team 2 remained stagnant.
This has led many people to wonder: Could it be that Ye Liangnai doesn't know how to teach at all?
No matter how you look at it, the teaching methods discussed are too chaotic.
If you don't teach ninjutsu, and you don't practice combat, and you just run Tenten, will you really become stronger?
Even Yagura had some doubts!
So he personally approached Ye Liangnai and suggested that he also lead a team to carry out a mission, so that everyone would stop speculating.
In Yagura's view, everyone in the Special Class is a genius.
As long as they properly vet these people and ensure they are on the right track, they can succeed on their own and their future achievements will definitely be substantial.
Therefore, there's no need to worry so much; just let things develop naturally.
Ye Liangnai's teaching method seems to be misleading people no matter how you look at it.
"Hey, it's alright, I know what I'm doing!"
Ye Liangnai smiled and refused Yagura's advice. He knew perfectly well what he was doing and whether it was reckless.
"Ms. Ye Liangnai, shall we continue running today?"
Natsume Yuki's eyes gleamed with excitement as she spoke, her face beaming with anticipation. This made Yagura wonder if she had been brainwashed by Ye Liangnai.
"No, your first phase of training is over!"
"It really is you guys! You improved your 10-kilometer run time on the cliff in just six days, from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. I'm starting to wonder if you're some kind of prodigies sent from heaven!" Ye Liangnai praised sincerely after seeing off the bewildered Yagura.
"Hehe, Ye Liangnai- sensei, you're such a prodigy! We have to act like little prodigies too, so as not to embarrass you!"
Natsume Yuki said with a grin, showing no reverence whatsoever.
After spending six days together, the three of them had figured out Ye Liangnai's temperament and regarded him as their older brother. Naturally, they no longer kept their distance out of respect as before.
"Everyone outside says we're wasting our time! Hehe, to be honest, we do look a bit silly. Tenten don't do any proper training, we just run around on the cliffs Tenten. It looks like we're making a joke!" Ye Liangnai said jokingly while munching on an apple.
Hearing this, Natsume Yuki took a bite of her apple and smiled, saying, "Who cares about them? As long as we know we're making progress, that's enough. Useless effort? That doesn't exist!"
Nakamura Shota and Saki Mirako both nodded and said, "If I were my opponent six days ago, I could finish the fight in ten minutes!"
"By precisely controlling my Chakra, my strength, speed, agility, and the power of my ninjutsu have all been enhanced!"
"Our strength may not seem to have improved, but in reality, it has improved by a significant margin! C-level missions? We can complete them now, and we might not be any worse than them!"
Seeing their confident expressions, Ye Liangnai felt a great sense of accomplishment. It was wonderful to see her efforts rewarded!
"So, to prevent the other classes from laughing at you, how about you go and carry out a C-level mission?"
To Ye Liangnai's suggestion, Natsume Yuki and the other two shook their heads simultaneously, saying, "I think it's better if we complete the other two phases of training first before carrying out the mission!"
Hearing their words, Ye Liangnai looked at them with some surprise and said, "That's interesting. It seems you've already figured out the benefits of the other two phases of training!"
Natsume Yuki said proudly, "Isn't that a must? If you can't even see that, how can you be my subordinate? Besides, something done by you will definitely have an extraordinary effect!"
Well, sometimes Ye Liangnai feels that it's not good when her students are too smart, because it reduces her sense of accomplishment.
