Teaching Mei to Throw Hands, For Real

"Basketball..."

Liu Bai glanced at the playground. The basketball hoops in elementary schools are usually quite low, so playing basketball was indeed a feasible idea.

"Teacher, you agree?"

Kevin looked at Liu Bai with great surprise.

"I agree to your suggestion—let's choose this one for physical fitness." Liu Bai nodded at Kevin's happy face, but the second half of her sentence immediately made Kevin's face fall.

Since there's a physical aspect, then there must also be...

As expected, Liu Bai turned around and asked Su in writing if he had any suggestions for exams related to culture.

Su is certainly not ambiguous about this.

"First in the class! Top ten is meaningless! If you're going to come, come be number one in the class!"

Come on! Let's hurt each other!

"Um... first in the class... what if neither of us makes it?"

Kevin discovered the blind spot.

"Whoever gets the better score wins, or is it a draw?"

If it's the former, then forget it, but if it's the latter...

Kevin suddenly had a whole host of wicked ideas.

Then I don't care about being number one, as long as Su doesn't get first place, right?

"Kevin, knowing you as I do, you're definitely not thinking anything good right now, are you?"

Su twitched the corner of her mouth.

"Teacher, I think we should consider it a draw if we can't win both subjects?"

[Reason?]

"First of all, since the goal is to be first in the class, we can't just let whoever gets the best grades win, because that would make the goal of being first in the class lose most of its meaning."

Su explained in a very organized manner.

"A draw is even worse—knowing Kevin as a jerk as I do, he'll definitely try everything to interfere with my studies."

"That's slander!"

"Hehe."

After glancing at Kevin, Sue continued.

"The only draw I can accept is for us to be tied for first place. If there is no result, then this competition will be void."

That makes a lot of sense, let's do it your way, Su.

Liu Bai nodded, agreeing with Su's idea.

"I always feel like something's been unfair to me..."

Kevin muttered something to himself.

Of course it's unfair, unless Kevin's grades can suddenly reach the top of the class.

Otherwise, it wouldn't matter if Su simply conceded defeat in the first game.

Moreover, Su was not subject to Kevin's restrictions and could directly practice martial arts with Liu Bai.

The two are only nine or ten years old now. Although some of their physical talents have already emerged, they have not yet created a decisive gap between them.

If Su seizes the opportunity, he might have a chance to take down Kevin at this point.

"Never mind, let's leave it at that for now."

Kevin's reaction was obviously a bit slow, but it's also possible that Kevin simply hadn't considered the possibility that he might lose to Sue in terms of physical strength.

"But then again, what are we calling each other now..."

"Whatever you like."

Liu Bai, always eager for a good show, remarked.

Sure enough, Kevin's eyes lit up immediately.

"Go, Junior Brother Su, go buy me a bottle of water."

Kevin looked down at Sue like a minor villain in a novel, ordering her around.

"...?"

"Don't look confused. The teacher said that during this period before the competition, I am the senior and you are the junior."

Taking advantage of the fact that Su couldn't hear Liu Bai's voice, Kevin started making things up.

"Come on, Junior Brother Su, call me Senior Brother Kevin."

"...I feel like you're lying to me, you bastard." Su's eyelids twitched.

"Huh? How dare you speak to your senior brother like that?"

Kevin said to Sue with an arrogant air.

... Hmm, it's practically a scene of an evil senior brother bullying the protagonist.

"Kevin, you wouldn't survive more than three episodes in a TV series like this," Liu Bai couldn't help but complain.

Kevin didn't have time to reply—because Sue had begun her counterattack.

"Kevin, if I remember correctly, someone failed the last quiz, right?"

"Ah... yes, that's true, but I'm not the only one who failed." Kevin felt inexplicably guilty.

"I remember you got caught sleeping in class last week, didn't you?"

"Okay, it seems that's true. What do you want to do?"

Kevin shrank back.

"So... Kevin, what if I took your report card to your aunt and told her about the trouble you caused at school this week..."

"Su! You bastard! If you dare do that, I'll fight you to the death!"

"How could that be? We're brothers!"

Su Yizheng said this in a righteous tone, then changed the subject.

"So what should you call me now, Kevin?"

"Master, Master... I'll fight you to the death, Su!" Kevin lunged forward.

These two little rascals are really energetic.

Although disciplining unruly children is tiring, it wouldn't be bad if there were shows like this to watch every day.

Anyway, Liu Bai was quite happy watching it, only regretting that he didn't have any popcorn in his hand.

Liu Bai thought that watching kids fight was the second most entertaining scene after women fighting.

Of course, the two people in front of them weren't really fighting; they were just playing around.

The two bickered for a bit and then separated. In the process, Su also figured out what Liu Bai had said to Kevin earlier.

"So, we can call each other whatever we want now?" Su's eye twitched.

You're something else, Kevin, actually forging an imperial edict right to my face.

"That's right! If all else fails, I'll call you junior brother, and you can call me junior brother too. We can each address each other as our own."

Kevin laughed it off, trying to gloss over the matter.

"Then you go buy water this time," Su ordered without hesitation.

There has to be some compensation.

Kevin readily agreed, seemingly unconcerned.

[While we're at it, I'll teach you some basic Gun Kata. Practice them a lot when you get back.]

In fact, Bianka's Gun Kata is the same Gun Kata as the Kaslana family's.

However, Bianka had amnesia and had forgotten most of it after waking up. She could only rely on her instincts to figure things out. In fact, she eventually abandoned Bianka dual pistols and started using a longsword and lance instead.

Of course, remember that too much of a good thing can be bad; don't overexert yourself and damage your health.

"Yes, I understand."

"I'm back."

When Liu Bai returned to Mei's side, Mei had already gone home from school.

However, Mei was no different from when she was at school after school; she was still engrossed in reading at her desk.

Is there anything you don't know how to do?

There are many areas where I don't know.

Mei replied softly, "You seem to be in a good mood?"

"Yeah, I saw two guys who make me happy."

Mei nodded at Liu Bai's answer, but didn't ask any further questions—she didn't actually care why Liu Bai was happy.

She simply wanted to find out if Liu Bai had time to answer her questions.

"Doctor, could you please explain this part of the knowledge to me?"

"... That concludes this part of the explanation for now."

Mei didn't ask all the questions she didn't know at once, but instead learned step by step in a very organized way.

This self-discipline always impressed Liu Bai.

Was there anything you didn't understand?

"No, Doctor, your explanation was very easy to understand." Mei shook her head, indicating that she understood.

[Compatibility +5%]

It seems they really understood.

"By the way, please stop calling me Doctor. It sounds weird—though you can call me that if you really like it."

Calling others "Doctor Liu Bai" doesn't bother me much, but being called "Doctor" by Mei gives me a strange feeling.

After all, being called "Doctor" by the future Dr. Mei... it feels really good, but it's also really strange.

"?"

Mei only expressed her confusion briefly before burying herself back into her book.

"..."

He's a complete bookworm...

Liu Bai sighed softly, then began to observe Mei's home.

After all, Mei's father is a world-class scientist, so Mei's family is quite well-off, and their home is spacious enough.

Mei, where are your family members?

Liu Bai suddenly realized that no one was home at Mei's house.

"My parents went to the Mu Continent to attend an academic conference and will not be back for half a month. During this time, a nanny will come to my house to cook for me on time."

"... Your parents really trust you."

Liu Bai's expression was strange. Even a family of researchers shouldn't act like this, right?

Although he didn't doubt Mei's self-care ability, Mei was only in the third grade, while she was normally around nine or ten years old.

It's fine for guarding the house, but leaving it unattended for half a month...

Doesn't it look a bit dangerous no matter how you look at it?
