Chapter 11: Learning

Mei teaches Kouro [Hokushin Itto-ryu] in a paired practice, or in other words she teaches Kouro swordsmanship in pair practice, and at the same time she is honing her own swordsmanship.

Kouro didn't learn the posture used by Mei, and the girl didn't particularly let him learn, because there were anatomical differences between men and women.

The so-called good swordsmanship will always differ from person to person, Kouro has more his own exploration.

Mei's sword technique prioritizes speed, Hokushin Itto-ryu's sword technique seems to attack one opponent's weak point continuously, so that it can defeat the opponent efficiently.

For women who do not have as much vitality and strength as men, this swordsmanship is indeed very appropriate for women to use.

Kouro thought about it for a while, and quickly stopped learning about quick shooting.

Kouro has a system, even if he is still level 1, the potential in the future is very high, with the system kouro can easily increase his strength instantly until he can hit honkai with his bare hands.

Kouro was now just looking for an efficient technique to fight the honkai.

Although in Mei's eyes, he has made great progress, but Kouro is not satisfied, he can feel that he still has a lot of room for improvement.

"Tomorrow will you still come to continue practicing swordsmanship together?"

"Sure"

Two hours later, Mei took a few deep breaths to calm her already irregular breathing, and tried to speak in a more casual tone.

Her hand holding the bamboo sword slightly trembled numbly, facing Kouro who had a higher strength than himself, in comparison Mei felt not at all easy.

If nothing happened, Mei felt that tomorrow she could only show 90% of her peak state, simply because she was too tired to recover.

Even though it was only two hours of training against Kouro, Mei felt that the energy she had expended in these two hours was more than five hours of training alone, if not the two of them using the bamboo knife that was used for specially crafted training when she was the young lady.

The bamboo knife must have been damaged by the strong impact between the two.

"No, this kind of practice emphasizes gradual and regular progress. If you push your body, it will only end badly. You have to go to class on weekends right? , but if there is still time to spare, I can still come to your class to chat tomorrow ? "

Obviously, Kouro doesn't follow the principle of gradual and orderly progress at all, as a habit he's been cultivating from a young age has allowed him to train until he pushes his body's potential to the limit.

Kouro's form was so good that May's earlier notion that Kouro was under a lot of pressure was wrong.

"Is it really okay? although chatting isn't a burden, it takes more than ten minutes to walk from Tachikawa school to Senba school and it takes more than half an hour to commute. Isn't that a bit of a hassle?"

"If it was Mei-senpai waiting for me it wouldn't be troublesome at all."

Kouro felt he needed to relax a bit, actually because Kouro was too focused on his goals since childhood he didn't have time to find playmates which made him a little lonely.

So being invited by Mei-senpai to chat together is a way of relaxation for Kouro because he has friends to chat with him.

Mei actually had the same thoughts as Kouro from before she felt lonely because she had no friends, now every word and smile when talking to Kouro were all sincere from her heart.

If possible, Mei even hoped that Kouro could be transferred to Senba Academy and become classmates who could chat with each other.

But if a boy especially a handsome boy like Kouro entered her class, Mei thought her classmates would surround Kouro like hungry wolves which caused her not to have a chance to talk to him.

If Kouro ignored the other students and looked for herself, it would cause discontent among the students, and unpleasant things would definitely happen.

Besides, changing schools wasn't that simple, and also Senba's school was still an all-girls academy.

A small greedy thought flashed through Raiden Mei's mind, and quickly disappeared due to her rational deliberation.

Seeing Kouro's back figure that was gradually disappearing, Mei quickly spoke.

"Tomorrow, Half an hour later than usual, meet again here at half past six, okay?"

"No problem!, if it's Mei-senpai, I won't be bothered."

Although being friends with Mei is very important, Kouro doesn't mean to arbitrarily affect Mei's life because of his plans.

He will do everything to the limit before the third eruption occurs, but he will not force others to do the same.

"Huh?, no-no, I just wanted to do something for you... Well, after all it was agreed that you would come tomorrow right?"

"Yes."

Waving his hand at Raiden Mei as a farewell.

When he reached the corner of Senba Academy, Kouro took a deep breath and moved quickly then jumped over the two meter high fence.

Stepping outside of the school, and completely confirming that it was out of Raiden Mei's sight, Kouro was initially breathing normally and slightly deteriorating, and suddenly became in a hurry. 

His hands shaking numbly, from typing on the keyboard to sorting through information during the apprenticeship, at the ME agency, to practicing swordsmanship with May this past, and even a few small things today.

".. Sta.. tus... recovery"

Feeling his recovering body as if the physical and mental exhaustion just now was just an illusion.

Luckily, Kouro hadn't received his Gift just in case there was an accident.

The absence of Kiana Kaslana at Senba Academy means a third eruption will take a while before it occurs. 

For now, it can be assumed that there will be no accidents.

After feeling his body return to its perfect state, Kouro returned to the dorm and continued exercising.
