Good medicine tastes bitter but benefits the illness; harsh words grate on the ear but aid one’s conduct.
The truth is unpleasant to hear; it has always been this way.
A Dragon King who has lived for millennia falling in love with me, someone who has Transmigrated for less than a day?
That development is a bit brain-dead.
He sighed softly, and the thought of being a kept man vanished.
Ryo dried his hair, then followed Jotaro out of the bathroom.
Lunch was eaten in the school cafeteria.
However, a considerable number of students ate lunchboxes they had brought themselves.
This world has fused with quite a few Japanese anime.
So, many Japanese anime styles have also been brought in.
The meat porridge eaten in the morning had already been consumed during the high-intensity training.
Thinking about the Kendo training and combat class in the afternoon.
Ryo reluctantly spent a hundred yuan to eat his fill.
Water Breathing is improving, and the progress bar for Rank 2 is already more than halfway.
The higher the Breathing Technique Rank, the higher the training intensity and efficiency, and the greater the demand for food.
In the original work, the Pillars were basically all gluttons.
In the afternoon, there was Kendo sparring again.
Actually, Kendo class was also divided into two sessions.
It wasn’t an entire afternoon of combat practice.
The total class was four hours, the first half was learning Breathing Swordplay, and the second half was sparring training.
In the afternoon, Xia Mi’s observation of Ryo became increasingly brazen.
This also drew many jealous glances at Ryo’s back.
Xia Mi’s popularity at school was quite high.
Her talent was astonishing, she was incredibly beautiful, and her personality was friendly and outgoing.
Aside from being a little flat, she was perfect in every other aspect.
The efficiency of his afternoon practice was slightly lower.
After all, the human body has its limits; the Breathing Technique can help the body recover faster, but it’s not that exaggerated.
Throughout the afternoon, Ryo rested much more than in the morning.
However, after an entire afternoon, the progress on his martial arts panel still increased quite a bit.
Water Breathing proficiency +2
Water Breathing Swordplay proficiency +2
So far, he had gained a full seven points of Breathing Technique proficiency in one day, and swordplay, though slower, also had two points.
He could even do some extra practice when he returned home at night.
Ryo couldn’t help but sigh, progress is fast with a cheat.
It’s truly too exaggerated.
His progress in less than two days had already far surpassed his predecessor’s two and a half years of practice.
“Oh, right.”
“Some people might not know yet, so I’ll remind everyone here.”
“Recently, the spatial fluctuation index around Z City has been rising a bit fast, and new, random spatial rifts might appear.”
“On your way home, it’s best to stick to the main roads. If you encounter any abnormal phenomena or strange creatures, run and call for help immediately. Don’t act rashly.”
While the Kendo Teacher was giving reminders, the students below didn’t seem to pay much attention.
The increase in the spatial fluctuation index happens roughly once every one or two months.
The phenomenon of this world connecting with new alternate worlds is simply too common.
Ryo was originally a little worried.
However, in his predecessor’s memories, such incidents were indeed not considered too dangerous.
Of course, there are always unlucky people every year.
In such situations, one can only heighten vigilance, but its usefulness is limited.
If you really encounter it, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
“Class dismissed then.”
As soon as the reminder was finished, the dismissal bell rang.
The Kendo Teacher’s control over dismissal time was precise; he quickly left the classroom without looking back.
Ryo left with his backpack.
Dismissal wasn’t the end; he had to go back and start studying.
In a High Martial World, how can one not strive?
Moreover, with a cheat, not striving would be a disservice to the cheat.
Xia Mi originally wanted to pester Ryo to leave school together.
However, she was called away directly by the Dean of Students midway.
With Xia Mi gone, Ryo breathed a sigh of relief.
He was now certain that Xia Mi must have noticed the abnormality in his progress speed.
But Teacher Da Ye didn’t bear that much ill will towards humans.
Coupled with Xia Mi’s personality currently being dominant.
It wasn’t that dangerous, just a bit of pressure.
The journey home was quite smooth.
Ryo jogged with his backpack; the old residential area was not far ahead.
“Is that…?”
Ryo’s gaze was suddenly drawn to a girl on the road ahead.
It wasn’t because the girl was particularly beautiful.
But because her appearance and attire strongly resembled an old acquaintance Ryo knew.
Pink curly hair, straight bangs, and an exceptionally striking appearance.
She wore a black dress, with only the collar being white.
It looked like a standard school uniform.
She didn’t seem very old, appearing to be a high school student, but her figure was quite outstanding.
Several leagues better than Xia Mi’s.
All of this was quite eye-catching, but Ryo’s attention, at first glance, was on the black bow on her straight bangs.
These physical features, coupled with that black bow that closely resembled the original, made her look exactly like the pink demon, symbolizing Chaos, that Ryo knew.
Of course, not Diavolo, nor Bocchi-chan.
Known as the “Cancer of Earth.”
This character also came from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, a romantic comedy anime filled with the stench of love.
She was the one who remained single until the end purely by her own strength.
However, Ryo still had a high affinity for such naturally beautiful and somewhat naive characters.
Especially since Secretary Fujiwara’s personality and everything else were genuinely good.
Currently, Secretary Fujiwara stood at the street corner, looking quite puzzled.
Adhering to the friendly principle of helping others.
Ryo prepared to go forward and help her solve some potential minor difficulties.
In a High Martial World, there wouldn’t be any cliché plot of a hero saving a beauty only to be used as a shield.
Judging by Secretary Fujiwara’s expression, and her being a Young Miss appearing in such an old neighborhood.
She was most likely lost.
“Hello.”
Ryo walked up and greeted her.
A crucial point about characters from slice-of-life anime is that they give a sense of security.
You don’t have to worry about them suddenly transforming into a super BOSS.
However, as soon as Ryo walked over and just raised his hand to greet her.
The next moment, he felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
Secretary Fujiwara opposite him also looked stunned, then screamed loudly.
“Damn it.”
Ryo couldn’t help but curse.
Does it have to be so cliché?
He had just finished talking about spatial fluctuations, and immediately he encountered one.
And it wasn’t even encountering dangerous creatures emerging from a random spatial rift.
A spatial rift had opened directly beneath his feet.
How do you defend against a zero-frame initiation?
He fell through the spatial tunnel for about two seconds.
Buzz.
The surrounding scenery changed drastically, and a dizziness more nauseating than weightlessness assaulted Ryo.
Making him involuntarily retch twice.
He was no longer in the spatial tunnel.
They had appeared in a forest.
The moon was like a full disk, emitting a bright moonlight.
Coupled with the reflection from the snow on the ground, the night forest didn’t seem so dark.
“Hah.”
Ryo exhaled, blowing out white mist.
He felt that this shouldn’t be the original High Martial World anymore.
