Since Class A7 mostly comprised students who used cold weapons, it wasn't surprising to find Mei there.
At that moment, Mei also noticed Ren Yu's gaze and gave him a slight smile, a form of greeting.
"..."
They say that accepting a favor makes one indebted, and receiving a kindness makes one feel obligated.
Since the other party was being friendly, Ren Yu felt awkward pretending not to notice. He simply nodded in return, indicating he had seen her.
"It seems you all haven't been trained in a while if you're still eating snacks in class! What kind of behavior is that?! I'm talking to you, Yuna, you're going to do a thousand basic greatsword training exercises right now!"
A roar echoed, startling the green-haired girl. Her cheeks puffed out, as if she were chewing something.
"Teacher Himeko, I didn't mean to, I didn't have breakfast."
She immediately retorted, her words muffled.
She had to eat something to fill her stomach if she was going to have a physical training class without having had breakfast.
What if she fainted?
"Eat, go ahead and eat."
Himeko sneered, "It's not too late to do your training after you've eaten your fill. It's a thousand repetitions anyway, and there's a recorder over there. Don't blame me for being merciless if you miss even one."
After so many years together, she knew this student's personality very well.
Didn't have breakfast?
That was just an excuse. She was the one who ate the most!
She was also the one who caused the most trouble!
However, this time, the girl named Yuna, unusually, didn't resist. After silently swallowing her food, she picked up her red greatsword and went to a nearby woodpile to practice.
One strike.
Two strikes.
Three strikes.
Seeing this, Himeko couldn't help but blink.
Was she mistaken?
When did this girl become so diligent?
She glanced thoughtfully at Ren Yu, then at Yuna, who seemed to have suddenly found her motivation. She smacked her forehead and realized, "It seems you're quite effective."
Ren Yu remained silent.
What do you mean my effect is obvious?
Did you hire me just to be a buff bot?
"Hmph."
He turned his head and snorted, then ignored Himeko.
The teaching quality is poor, and they don't look for reasons within themselves, always thinking of taking shortcuts.
Clearly not a proper person!
Time passed, and soon more than half of the class was over.
Ren Yu, having nothing else to do, was browsing the day's news.
On his phone screen, a news headline was displayed: "East Sea King of Gamblers Competition is about to begin, with a prize of 500 million US dollars!"
"Location: Near the eastern sea area of Shenzhou! Aboard the yacht 'Great White Shark'!"
"Requirements: None! Anyone can participate!"
"Gambling competition? I'd call it a 'King of Cheats' competition!" Ren Yu muttered softly.
He had seen similar schemes in the Americas. If one were to bet large sums of money, they'd likely lose their underwear.
Therefore, he wasn't particularly interested and quickly closed the news after a brief glance.
"Assistant Teacher Yang, Teacher Himeko said you should spar with us and point out the flaws and shortcomings in our techniques."
A voice called out, and Ren Yu realized that several students had approached him.
A petite girl chimed in:
"Yeah, yeah, Assistant Teacher, since you and we all use swords, teach us a move or two."
"If we can learn even a fraction of your skill, we'll definitely win first place in the competition at the end of the month!"
Their expressions were excited, clearly captivated by Ren Yu's "swordsmanship."
It wasn't surprising, considering how spectacular his previous "sword technique" of slicing through a flying wing had been.
He didn't lean, didn't dodge, and blocked all the flying wings shot by the Honkai Emperor in place.
That was incredible!
"Guidance?"
Ren Yu frowned, but they couldn't learn his moves anyway. They were all based on combat instincts; anyone who tried to learn them would be unlucky.
He glanced again at the remaining energy within the emblem.
—8%
After a night's rest, the emblem had recovered from 7% to 8%.
After some thought, since fighting them wouldn't consume much energy, Ren Yu simply nodded and agreed.
"Alright, but I'll be upfront: I probably can't teach you much. At most, I can point out some of your openings, your weaknesses, and the like."
"That's enough, that's enough! Assistant Teacher, let's go quickly..."
