When Li Ke returned to the classroom, the children from Bond Village were all exceptionally obedient. Jinx's troublemaker Link looked at Li Ke Link admiration and greeted him as "Teacher" upon Li Ke return.
Sett opened his mouth, looking at Link with a hint of resentment. He should have been the one to call him "teacher"!
Sett was also shocked.
His initial attraction to Li Ke was due to Ahri's magical abilities, but as he spent more time with Li Ke, Sett gradually grew to like Li Ke and developed a dependence on Li Ke.
Li Ke is gentle and kind, especially compared to Jinx, his good temper makes it really hard for a kid like Sett to stay away.
Especially when people around Sett with strange eyes, while Li Ke looks at him with admiration, Sett will naturally be willing to get closer to Li Ke.
Now, having learned that his seemingly gentle teacher, whom he thought he couldn't even beat, was actually a reclusive master, Sett's admiration for Li Ke naturally grew even stronger.
"Let's continue the lesson." Li Ke walked to the podium, and Akali, who followed him in, looked around the classroom before casually finding an empty seat.
Her appearance naturally attracted the students' attention, but after Li Ke coughed, the children turned their attention to Li Ke.
"Sett, where was I just talking about?" Li Ke asked, looking at Sett.
Sett stood up and said, "Teacher, you just talked about the founding history of Demacia."
"Yes, the history of the founding of Demacia."
Akali raised an eyebrow at these words. Of course she knew Demacia, a place far, far away from Ionia, a western country that even Kennen would have to spend a lot of time to reach despite his best efforts.
Known as the Lion of Valoran, he is Noxus's greatest enemy.
This guy is talking about Demacia?
Akali immediately became interested and looked at Li Ke, resting her chin on her hand.
"As I just said, looking back thousands of years, whether it's the Demacia, the Noxians, or even Zaunite, and you Ionia, we all share the same ancestors when we trace our roots back to them."
Li Ke began earnestly, explaining that what he was teaching his students today was the history of human civilization in Runeterra, aiming to enhance their understanding of the outside world and spark their curiosity.
"Teacher, but my mom said that we Ionia appeared in Ionia a long time ago, and our ancestors were the Vastayashai'rei, right?" A student raised his hand, looking confused and uncertain.
"No! Your mother must be wrong. The descendants of the Vastayashai'rei are Vastaya, what do they have to do with us humans? We're not orcs." As he spoke, the student looked at Sett.
As the only Vastaya in the classroom, Sett had the blood of the Vastayashai'rei flowing through his veins.
Li Ke nodded and said, "That's right. The Vastayashai'rei were the first creatures to appear in Ionia, but they are not human. They are the original creatures of this magical land. As for us humans, the earliest humans were born in Freljord. After experiencing hardships and difficulties, they left Freljord."
Among them, in tribes, they went to Valoran, Shurima, and Ionia, and began to establish human civilization there. So, if we're really serious, we all come from the same place. Of course, time flies and times change, and now we have nothing to do with Freljord anymore."Li Ke said with a smile.
Li Ke wasn't talking nonsense; this was all content he had seen on Bilibili before, from a video made by a content creator who specialized in telling stories about Runeterra.
That video explained in detail the origins of human civilization in Runeterra.
It originated in Freljord, flourished during the era of the Frost Three Sisters, and then spread to various parts of Runeterra, taking root and sprouting.
"The examples of Demacia and Noxus perfectly illustrate this point. A thousand years ago, Demacia and Noxus were one. Due to the outbreak of the Rune Wars, a group of barbarians fled to the west, relying on the magical anti-magic forests to avoid magical persecution and establish a nation. This is the origin of Demacia."
Li Ke spoke eloquently to the students about what he knew about Runeterra.
Some parts may be incorrect, but as long as the designer doesn't come across as offensive, Li Ke Keji's general direction should be fairly accurate.
Akali listened with rapt attention, after all, she wasn't much older than the kids on the field; in the end, she was just a teenage girl herself.
Akali is also curious about the outside world, not to mention she is an adventurous person. In the cult, the person who can often tell her stories is Kennen, but Kennen is very busy and is often away from the cult, wandering around Ionia to gather information.
As for her mother, Mayym, the modern-day Fist of Shadow, Akali once believed that Memoir preferred Fei to Akali.
Therefore, she did not have a good relationship with her mother.
As for Shen? Ha, he spends all his time meditating and practicing spiritual cultivation, stargazing and contemplating, so he's even less likely to tell Akali stories.
Therefore, Akali finds it very interesting to listen to Li Ke speak now.
The class ended quickly. Li Ke placed the ruler on the lectern and said, "Class dismissed."
But today, instead of running out of the treehouse, the children surrounded Li Ke, wanting to talk to him.
During class, Li Ke was quite strict, but after class, he would revert to his gentle self. As a result, several girls in the class especially liked to pester Li Ke and talk to Li Ke after class.
But Li Ke pointed to Akali, who was sitting in the back row, deep in thought, and said to the students, "Go play by yourselves, I have some things to take care of."
The children nodded, then all looked at Akali.
After they all came out of the treehouse, Wen stood up outside, but didn't see Li Ke and Akali come out.
Seeing this, he returned to the side and waited quietly.
Inside the treehouse, Akali and Li Ke sat facing each other. She reached out and removed her mask, revealing a youthful and innocent face to Li Ke.
Akali's beautiful face features delicate and sharp features, exuding a heroic air.
This gave her a unique charm. She was twirling a kunai in her small hand as she looked at Li Ke and asked, "What you just said, was it something you made up, or is it true?"
"Of course it's true; it's recorded in books," Li Ke said.
Then he reached into his pocket, took out the food Jinx had packed for him that morning, and placed it on the table one by one.
Akali didn't stand on ceremony when she saw it, reaching out to pick it up and start eating. As she chewed the fruit, she nodded and said, "You're really amazing, you know so much."
Li Ke thought for a moment and said, "Ionia is too isolated. If you go out and travel around, you will see and hear things you don't know."
So you're not an Ionia?
"Although we have the same hair color, I'm not Ionia, I'm Zaunite," Li Ke said.
After hearing Li Ke's words, Akali hesitated for a moment before saying, "But I remember Zaun isn't a good place. It's a chaotic place, right?"
Li Ke laughed and shook his head, saying, "That was the old Zaun. Zaun is a peaceful city now. Akali, your information is outdated."
"Then why did you leave Zaun and come to Ionia?" Akali narrowed her eyes.
"I'm traveling, and I also came to Ionia to take care of some things. And you? You don't look very old, so why did you come to Bond Village?"
After hearing Li Ke's words, Akali squatted on the wooden stool, waved her hand casually, and said, "Just like you, I'm traveling and have some things to take care of."
Li Ke responded and pondered how to persuade Akali to go to Zaun with him.
After all, Akali has now broken away from the Kinkou Order and become a lone wolf, but that doesn't mean that she will follow Li Ke to Zaun just because Li Ke says a few words and invites her.
Her heart was with Ionia. The reason she left the sect was to protect the order of Ionia and maintain the balance between the two worlds in her own way.
So, to put it simply, Akali is indeed very young and doesn't know much, but that doesn't mean she's not determined.
On the contrary, Akali is extremely determined. She had already planned out what she wanted to do in the future and was willing to pay any price for it.
Therefore, Li Ke tried to go along with Akali's plan and then persuaded Akali to bring her back to Zaun.
To maintain balance and order between the two realms?
By the way, can Ahri help?
If Ahri can't do it, will the current technology in the two cities be of any use?
Li Ke began to think.
It has to be said, human trafficking is definitely not an easy thing.
It's truly remarkable how Silco managed to scout out so many talented individuals for Zaun.
Then, as Li Ke was pondering, he heard Akali's voice.
"There's something else I want to ask you." Looking up, Li Ke saw Akali's earnest eyes.
Her reddish-brown eyes held curiosity as she continued, "Did you use the Wind-Controlling Sword Art against the Brotherhood members earlier?"
"You noticed?" Li Ke didn't hide it, but instead touched his face and said.
"Really!" Akali exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Li Ke's words. She slapped her hands on the table, stood up, looked at Li Ke, and leaned forward, saying:
"But as far as I know, wasn't the Wind-Controlling Sword Art lost? The only person who still knows the Wind-Controlling Sword Art is Yasuo, the traitor in the dojo. But you just said you're not from Ionia, so how did you learn the Wind-Controlling Sword Art?"
How could someone from Zaunite know Ionia's secret techniques?
It's important to know that even the Kinkou Order knows of Souma's reputation. Souma is hailed as the sword master of Ionia, a contemporary of the previous leader of the Kinkou Order, Kusho, and even more famous than Kusho. He is a legendary master of Ionia.
And he relied on his powerful Wind Technique.
Therefore, Akali couldn't help but be surprised.
With mastery of the Wind Technique, will its power be comparable to Shen's?
Li Ke also looked at his skill bar.
[Wind Technique /Spiritual Level (Blue)]
[Synopsis: A thousand years ago in Ionia, a young man practiced swordsmanship day after day in the deep mountains to avenge his family. He observed the falling leaves as spring turned to winter, summer to autumn. Through his observation of the falling leaves, the young man learned the Wind Technique. Within this Soul Stone lies the power of the wind.]
Um.
You can't exactly tell Akali that you learned the Wind Technique from its creator, can you?
Now it seems that Li Ke discovered the owner of this soul stone was the creator of the Wind Technique, who is also Yasuo's great-great-grandfather?
Hmm, so what am I to Yasuo now?
"It's a long story, and I can't explain it in a few words, but you just need to know that I have no relation to Elder Souma, and his death has nothing to do with me. I just arrived in Ionia," Li Ke said to Akali.
Let's get rid of this blame first.
"But you know how to use the Wind Technique. If Yasuo finds out, he will definitely come looking for you," Akali said.
"As long as you don't tell, isn't that enough?" Li Ke said to Akali.
When Li Ke unleashed his Wind Technique, he had already suppressed his power, but he couldn't withstand the presence of a knowledgeable Akali hidden among the crowd.
Akali frowned, clearly unwilling to believe Li Ke's words.
Because there's no such thing as a coincidence in this world!
Meeting Akali's suspicious look, Li Ke sighed, shrugged, and said proactively:
"Moreover, Elder Souma's death was actually an accident. He did indeed die from the Wind Technique, but the real cause of his death was a runic weapon. A Noxus soldier who no longer wanted to fight for her country chose to destroy her weapon. She begged Souma for help, but unexpectedly, this accident happened."
"What? You mean Elder Souma was killed by a sword?" Akali was even more incredulous upon hearing this.
How could a grandmaster, a legendary figure, possibly die because of a sword?
Li Ke was speechless.
Souma was no small figure in Ionia; he was a grandmaster, a legendary figure. Yet, even such a great man was killed when the Runeblade broke off while he was destroying it, and his death affected many people.
Riven and Yasuo are caught up in a complicated situation because of Souma's death.
Yasuo killed Yone as a result, went on the run for several years, and could not forgive himself for his mistake.
Riven was determined to die, overwhelmed by deep remorse for the mistakes she had made and the past she had created.
No, is that all? Is Souma still a grandmaster?
"That's true, Akali."
"Even if it's true, how do you know? Even Kennen doesn't know this!"
"It was the Deity who told me."
"Ha, so you really think I'm one of those kids you teach, huh? Trying to fool me with this nonsense?" Akali narrowed her eyes, her muscles tense, clearly annoyed with Li Ke.
You actually said something like that that the Deity told you to say!
Do you really think I'm a child?
Did the Deity ever tell you that I killed someone with my own hands when I was twelve years old?
Thinking this, Akali reached into her pocket, ready to drop Smoke Bomb and leave at any moment.
If she were to fight, she probably couldn't beat Li Ke, but she wanted to run away, thinking that Li Ke couldn't do anything to her.
"Everything I said is true. For example, I know why you left Ionia, I know your mother is the modern-day Fist of Shadow, and I know Shen and Zed, and why they parted ways."
Li Ke said earnestly to Akali, "In Ionia, I know everything."
"There is indeed Deity behind me."
