Congratulations. Please keep up the good work.
"1,479,652—almost double the second-place score?"
Ren Yu looked at the score and smiled casually.
He did not care much about the rankings.
Although it was very likely that the people on the leaderboard had not gone all out, once he found a way to equip a second badge, it was hard to say who would win.
Chapter 6: How Could This Happen?
After removing the badge Legend of the Night, which increased his attack range and could trigger a burst when he was low on health, then re-equipping Hound of the Baskervilles, Ren Yu frowned at the wreckage all over the floor.
The floor had cracked!
The ceiling had cracked too!
The phantom had died and scattered!
The entire chamber had been cleaved in two by that strike!
Even several of the lighting tubes had snapped!
Still, Ren Yu had not done it on purpose. Who knew the training chamber would be so fragile?
Hiss.
The sound of air leaking from a balloon rang out again as the sealed door opened, and light from outside poured in.
A white-haired nun stood at the door, looking over at him.
"Yo, Theresa, you're here."
Ren Yu was in a good mood and greeted the Principal with a smile.
Back when he had been on Bang Bang's bridge, he had occasionally pulled Theresa out to poke at her.
Though later, she had merely been replaced by certain newer characters.
—Like that Himeko or whatever...
"If I hadn't come, were you planning to tear down the entire training area?"
Theresa shot Ren Yu an unhappy look, then noticed the blue screen floating in midair.
--New! 7. Yang Chengwen 567899
"As expected, you broke the record."
As though she had known all along, she added,
"Hmm... you pass! Starting tomorrow, you'll officially begin work."
"Alright."
Ren Yu nodded, thinking that if this did not count as passing, then hardly anyone could meet her hiring standards.
Another white figure suddenly appeared in the doorway.
The moment Kiana opened her mouth, she shouted,
"Teacher, you're so strong. Can you teach me swordsmanship?"
Although she practiced the Kaslana gun-fighting technique passed down through her family, ever since seeing Ren Yu's strike, she had been unable to calm down.
Besides, she had heard that Heavenly Fire Judgment possessed other forms. Maybe one of them was a sword.
When the time came, if she wielded the inherited Heavenly Fire Judgment and used her teacher's sword skills, would she not be unmatched beneath the heavens?
Just thinking about it made Kiana laugh out loud.
"..."
Ren Yu had truly never imagined that he would lead Kiana's future down the wrong path. If she stopped practicing gun-fighting, what would the Valkyrie armor and weapons developed for her in the future have to become?
A Super Electromagnetic greatsword?
The Sword of Thor?
Valkyrie: Moonblade?
Or would Demon Horn truly earn the name Thunder Blade?
No matter which one it was, Ren Yu found it all to be a headache.
Besides, if she got her hands on Heavenly Fire Judgment in the future, that would be even worse.
Its sword form was no good thing. Even Kiana's father, Sigfried, had to risk his life to keep it under control.
Thinking of that, Ren Yu shook his head.
"I don't know anything about swords, and I don't have anything to teach you."
He really did not understand swordsmanship or saber techniques. That strike just now had been swung on instinct.
If she wanted more detailed instructions, all he had were the steps: charge—aim—switch to the range badge—release.
"Huh? I don't believe you!"
Kiana planted her hands on her hips, puffing up angrily.
"Then what was that move you used to cut down all the wing blades? And you say you don't know swordsmanship? Who are you trying to fool?"
"I didn't..."
Ren Yu was about to argue, but then he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
Wait, maybe there really was.
He remembered.
The move he had used before was like a manually executed Phantom Sword Dance!
But that wasn't a sword technique at all!
