Mai was teaching Huayi the [Northstar One Sword Style] through sparring. In other words, she was teaching Huayi swordsmanship through sparring while also honing her own swordsmanship.
Hua Yi did not learn the stance that Thunderbolt Mai had used, and the girl did not specifically ask him to learn it either. This was because there were differences between men and women. The so-called best way to draw a sword would always vary from person to person. Hua Yi had to figure it out himself.
Mai's sword was more about speed, unlike the Hokushin Itto-Ryu, which only had a single slash. She seemed to be attacking a single point continuously, which was very suitable for women whose average strength was lower than men's.
Hua Yi thought for a moment, and quickly gave up on copying Yayi's method of breaking the surface with a single point. He had the Stigmata, and even if he only had Serena (1) at the moment, his upper limit would be very high in the future. When the time came, he would have enough power. There was no need to force himself to use such an attack method. A full-force attack should have paralyzed the Disintegration Beast.
Hua Yi was only looking for the most perfect way to exert his strength. Although he had made great progress in the eyes of Mai, Hua Yi was not satisfied. He could feel that he still had room for improvement.
"Shall we continue practicing swordsmanship together tomorrow?”
Two hours later, Mai took a few deep breaths to calm her already disordered breathing. She tried to speak in a normal tone, and her hands behind her back trembled slightly. As a sparring partner, Mai was not at all relaxed when facing Hua Yi, who had a higher power than her.
If nothing unexpected happened, Mai felt that she would only be able to unleash 90% of her full strength tomorrow. There was no other reason than that she was too tired to recover.
Although she had only practiced with Hua Yi for a short two hours, Mai felt that the energy she had used up in those two hours was more than what she had used to practice alone for five hours. If it weren't for the fact that the two bamboo swords she had used for practice were custom-made when she was still a young lady, her ordinary bamboo swords would have been damaged by the collision of the two of them.
"No, this kind of practice requires gradual progress. It won't be good if it drags down your body. You have to go to class after the weekend, right? However, if it's possible, can I still look for you tomorrow purely for the purpose of chatting?”
It was obvious that he had not followed the principle of gradual progress for the past week. He had been suppressing his body to force out his potential. It was obvious that his body, which had not been able to recuperate for a long time, was far more tired than Mai's. However, at this moment, Huayi was telling Mai to have a good rest.
His performance was too good, and it further convinced Mai that she was wrong to think that Hua Yi was under a lot of pressure.
"Is it really possible? Chatting wasn't a burden, but it would take at least ten minutes to walk from Tachikawa Academy to Chiba Academy, right? The round trip would take more than half an hour. Wouldn't it be troublesome?”
"If you don't find me annoying, Mai, then it's no trouble at all.”
The so-called chat was obviously not a way for Hua Yi to find a way to relax, nor was it to increase the favorability of Thunder Mai as his main goal. He was more interested in friendship points, so that he could increase his strength faster.
Of course, Mai did not find Hua Yi annoying. In fact, she had been studying alone all this while. Every moment she spoke to Hua Yi, she would smile sincerely. He was someone she could talk to, someone who would come to her specially, and someone who could practice swordsmanship with her. If possible, Mai even hoped that he would transfer to Qianyu Academy and become her classmate. She could have someone to chat with after class like everyone else, right?
However, if an outstanding boy like Hua Yi entered his class, his classmates would probably surround him. He would not have much chance to talk to him. If Hua Yi ignored the others and specially looked for him, it might even cause dissatisfaction among his classmates and unpleasant things would happen.
Besides, transferring schools wasn't an easy task, and Qianyu Academy was a girls 'school.
A greedy thought flashed across Mai's mind, but it quickly disappeared due to her more rational considerations. Mai quickly spoke up as she watched Hua Yi's back gradually disappear.
"Tomorrow, we'll meet here at 6:30, half an hour later than usual. Is that okay?”
" No problem. If you have something else to do, I won't bother you.”
Although friendship points were extremely important, Huayi had no intention of rudely affecting Thunderbolt Mai's life because of friendship points. He would do his best before the third collapse, but he would not force others to do the same.
"What? No, no, I just wanted to make you some…Well, anyway, we agreed that you would come over tomorrow, right?”
"Yes."
Waving goodbye to Mai, Hua Yi came to a corner of Qianyu Academy. He took a deep breath and nimbly climbed over the two-meter-high wall, stepping on the ground outside the school. The moment he completely left Mai's sight, Hua Yi's breathing, which was originally normal and slightly heavy, suddenly became hurried. His hands were trembling, and it seemed like it had started since he woke up today. Hua Yi did not let his hands, which were already sore from the previous training, rest. From typing on the keyboard to organizing information during his internship at ME Club, to practicing swordsmanship with Thunderbolt Mai, and all the things that happened before today, the heavy workload that Hua Yi's hands had to endure was enough to leave a root cause for an ordinary person.
Fortunately, Hua Yi had a Stigmata and had gone through a series of training. His physical fitness was stronger than that of ordinary people. Now, he was just very tired. Not only did he not reach the level where the root of the disease was left behind, but he had not even reached Hua Yi's limit.
The fact that Kiana did not show up at Qianyu School meant that the third collapse would not happen for some time. For the time being, it was safe to assume that no accidents would happen. Hua Yi did not have to ensure that his body was in a perfect state where he could perform 100% of his strength at all times. He just needed to keep working hard.
So, he went back to his dorm and continued to train.
