The next morning, Ryo woke up.
[Water Breathing proficiency increased by one]
Ryo’s goal was Total Concentration Constant, so even when he slept at night, he tried his best to maintain the rhythm of Total Concentration Breathing.
However, his Breathing Technique Rank was still too low.
Even in a serious state, he couldn’t always use Total Concentration Breathing, let alone when he was half-asleep.
Fortunately, he had the martial arts panel.
No matter how poor the training efficiency, as long as he started training, he would get a proficiency bonus after accumulating a certain amount.
[Water Breathing LV2 (4/20)]
Looking at the numbers on the panel, Ryo was quite satisfied.
He got up early, and breakfast was Sea King Meat porridge, which wasn’t particularly delicious but wasn’t too bad either.
After eating his fill, Ryo ran to school.
By the time he arrived at school, it was almost time for class.
Many students were rushing to their classrooms.
Ryo casually glanced around and felt that a few faces seemed familiar.
However, this wasn’t really an anime world, so he couldn’t recognize characters just by their appearance.
He didn’t pay too much attention.
This world was crazy; he wouldn’t be surprised by any character appearing.
Even if a monster suddenly fell from the sky, and then Ultraman blasted the monster with a laser, Ryo wouldn’t find it abstract.
Of course, that being said, it would be best if no monsters appeared.
Monsters weren’t the cute little monsters from the Dragon Clan.
Each of them could easily destroy a town.
When he arrived at the classroom, most of the people had already arrived.
This seemed to be the first time he had come to a class classroom since his Transmigration.
Unlike regular classes, the martial arts class classroom wasn’t very important.
It was only needed occasionally for cultural lessons.
“Yo, Ryo, good morning.”
Xia Mi, surrounded by several girls, saw Ryo arrive immediately.
She greeted him with a smile.
Xia Mi’s smile was lively, carrying a strong Infectious.
If this were an anime world, her personality would make her a top-tier character in the spotlight.
“Mm, good morning, Class Monitor.”
Ryo also greeted Xia Mi.
Then, without further entanglement, he went to his seat.
Hmph.
Second to last row by the window, a prime spot.
Behind him was Jotaro, that nearly two-meter-tall giant.
To be fair, if Jotaro, with his physique, didn’t sit in the back row, he would probably block many people’s view of the lesson.
To his right was Natsuki Subaru, the classmate he sparred with yesterday.
Although his underlying personality was a bit twisted, he was genuinely a good person.
In front was a girl named Zhang Ruo, who looked decent.
Judging by the name, she was most likely a native and not an anime character.
Ryo sat down in his seat, but before he could even get comfortable, and before Natsuki Subaru could interject, an incredibly burly man squeezed through the doorway.
Ryo watched him squeeze through the doorframe and almost burst out laughing.
His body proportions were quite uncoordinated; his upper body was extremely burly, with muscles even more explosive than Jotaro in the back row.
His legs, however, appeared quite thin and short.
In reality, his legs were of normal human proportions, but his upper body was somewhat inhumanly large.
His attire was also quite interesting.
A white suit and trousers, a white Marine Justice cloak, and a Marine hat on his head.
This was the standard attire for a Marine officer in the Pirate World.
Memories flooded back.
Ryo immediately recognized this martial arts teacher.
Their third-year martial arts class homeroom teacher, Solon D.
Pompeii.
This wasn’t Caesar’s father from the Dragon Clan.
This homeroom teacher was a genuine native, originally named Pompeii.
It was said that when he was young, he went to the Pirate World to gain experience, served in the Marines, and his highest Rank was Marine Commodore.
After returning from the Pirate World, he continued to maintain the attire he wore as a Marine Commodore.
He even retained his original name from the Pirate World.
Of course, Ryo felt that the ‘D’ was definitely not part of his name in the Pirate World.
Serving in the Marines with a ‘D’ in your name?
Do you really think the Five Elders are dead?
“The cultural studies teacher is sick, so this morning’s class will be a Body Refining class.”
“Everyone get ready and head to the Body Refining classroom.”
Pompeii spoke after squeezing into the classroom, his voice like a booming bell.
After speaking, he turned and left directly, with the decisive style of a soldier.
“The most fitting episode for a cultural studies teacher’s physical condition.”
Ryo secretly complained in his heart.
In his previous life, it was always the PE teacher who got sick; now, in the High Martial World, it was finally the other way around.
This was also normal.
According to his memories, the requirements for students’ cultural scores in martial arts universities had been continuously lowered in recent years.
It was estimated that in a few more years, the cultural scores for martial arts students might be completely abolished.
“Let’s go.”
Jotaro stood up, his face stern, speaking coolly.
Ryo followed him to the Body Refining classroom, his eyes filled with excitement.
The Sea King Meat porridge he ate in the morning was full of energy and rich in nutrients.
He couldn’t wait to train and improve his Body Refining Rank and Breathing Technique Rank.
The people in the class formed a line and quickly arrived at the Body Refining classroom.
The Body Refining classroom was also very large, but compared to the incredibly exaggerated kendo classroom from yesterday, it was still much smaller.
After all, the kendo classroom was for a group of people to engage in actual combat.
However, it wasn’t as empty here; there were various Body Refining equipment.
“Everyone, line up!”
Pompeii roared, and everyone in the class immediately lined up neatly.
Pompeii, having come from the Marines, also led his students in a military fashion.
Everyone lined up, and Pompeii stood at the front to give a speech.
“You students are all very spirited!”
Pompeii scanned the students in the class, a satisfied smile curving his lips.
“This entire morning will be our Body Refining class.”
“Old rules, first a physical test; I will compare your results with your last performance.”
“If some students haven’t made progress…”
“Hehe.” Pompeii’s features were rugged, and there was a hideous saber scar on his face; when he smiled, he looked absolutely fierce.
“Extra training.”
As the words “extra training” came out, many faces showed bitterness.
Pompeii was privately called “Scarred Demon” and “Demon Instructor.”
His extra training was quite abnormal, and he would truly keep a close eye on those who needed extra training.
It was very difficult to be lazy.
“Those whose names I call, come to the front.”
“Zhang Ruo.”
Pompeii put on a very high-tech monocle and spoke.
The girl in front of Ryo, named Zhang Ruo, walked to Pompeii.
Pompeii scanned her up and down.
“Body Refining Rank 1.4, Mental Rank 1.2.”
“Hmm? How did you regress from last time? Extra training!”
Pompeii frowned and spoke loudly.
“Next, Zhou Xing.”
Simple physical tests in the High Martial World didn’t require much trouble; the monocle Pompeii wore was a simple testing instrument.
It was more than enough to detect the Body Refining and Mental Ranks of high school students.
“Next, Ryo.”
Pompeii spoke.
Ryo stepped forward.
Pompeii’s eyes scanned him, looking quite surprised.
“Body Refining Rank 2, Mental Rank 1.6.”
