Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 69 Challenge
Leonard nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Gawain, according to your contract with the Police Department, my two colleagues will learn fighting from you."

Gao Wen looked gloomy and said indifferently, "Fighting? Is fighting still necessary in this era? What you should learn is how to draw and shoot, and master the most advanced weapons."

"For police officers, fighting skills are essential skills." Leonard said.

Gawain looked at Klein and Claire silently, like a sleeping lion.

"Try throwing a punch." Gawain said to Klein alone.

Klein followed the instructions, raised his arm, and swung it forward.

The corner of Gao Wen's mouth twitched slightly, and he said again: "Kick."

Klein half-sideways, swung his hips, tightened his thighs, and pulled out his right foot.

Gawain coughed lightly and said, "I will abide by the contract, but given his situation, he only needs to come four times a week for the first month, three hours each time."

"You're a combat expert, I'll listen to you." Leonard nodded, then looked at Claire and asked Gawain, "Where's the other one?"

Gawain fixed his gaze on Claire and said in a deep voice, "You look eager to try, don't you? You don't want to learn from me. Do you want to challenge me?"

Claire walked up to Gawain and said, "Yes."

Gawain dropped his hands to his sides and said indifferently, "I'm past the age of fighting and vying for power."

Claire raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when the man in front of her suddenly awoke and said, "But I like to teach ignorant young people a lesson!"

Claire laughed, and the moment she stopped smiling, she lunged forward, her light body swift as a swallow flying.

When she was within a certain distance of Gawain, Claire suddenly turned around, her delicate body seemed to be folded in half, and she spun around and kicked out with a whip kick!
Gawain raised his arm to block the attack. The pain was more severe than he had imagined and he yelled loudly, but his footing did not loosen. He suddenly grabbed Claire's right ankle!
Claire, who was caught, spun around, her left foot stepping on Gawain's shoulder, but the hand holding her ankle was like a steel hoop, motionless!
Gawain dragged her hard and threw her to the ground.

Claire stretched out her hands and braced herself on the ground.

But then Gawain took a step forward, and while bending Claire's legs, he was about to punch Claire in the lower back!

Fortunately, Claire was more flexible, and she flipped over to the extreme, then kicked Gawain in the side of the face with a fierce side kick!
The force of this kick made Gawain take two steps back in pain.

Claire also used this opportunity to free her ankle from Gawain's grasp.

The two separated.

Claire's wrists and ankles were red and swollen, and her current physical condition was not suitable for long-term high-intensity exercise.

Gao Wen spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm.

"Omer Ryuto Paige?" Gawain twitched his lips. "Although it's famous for women's fighting, it's not suitable for you."

"You're stronger and faster. If you defend your lower body and attack steadily, even a regular knight will have trouble taking advantage... The timing of your whip kick was also wrong. If you hadn't chosen the leg attack at the beginning, you wouldn't be injured like this."

Pondering Gawain's words, Claire's eyes lit up slightly, and she said to Gawain sincerely, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

This sparring match also allowed Claire to feel the power of the elite knights. Even with her Sequence 8 physique, she was unable to crush the opponent.

Instead, he was suppressed by Gawain using his rich experience and skills.

Gawain nodded. "You need more battles. I admire the wild look in your eyes when fighting. For now, you can learn from my experience. Later, I will give you better advice."

"Okay, teacher." Claire restrained her aura and said obediently.

Gao Wen's cold face showed a hint of smile: "There is medicine for swelling and external injuries in the room."

Klein, watching nearby, was also excited and asked loudly, "Teacher, where should I start practicing? Punching or kicking?"

Sharon burst out laughing.

Gawain looked at Klein and pointed at the iron dumbbells beside him with a dark expression. "What you need most right now is strength training!" "There are also squats, running, and skipping rope!"

Klein was a little stunned.

Gawain roared, "Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

At this moment, Klein recalled the horror of being dominated by military training.

"Also... go change into your knight training clothes first." Gawain said this and walked towards the dumbbells. His expression at this moment was no longer as gloomy as before.

Six o'clock in the evening, in a corner of Old Vail Restaurant.

In addition to Frye who was on duty, thirteen members of the Blackthorn Security Company gathered here.

Sharon squeezed in next to Claire, with Luo Yao, Xijia, Orianna, and Luo Shan sitting on the same side.

Across from them sat Klein and Haner next to Dunn, with Leonard, Cohen, Brett, and Cesar sitting next to them.

"Let's toast to the new members!" Led by Dunn, everyone raised their glasses with a smile.

The waiters brought plate after plate of food, divided it up and served each person their own plate.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

Only Klein's face turned pale, his eyes staring blankly at the delicious food on the table. After being trained by the coach all afternoon, he had no appetite at all.

The contrast between wanting to eat but his body not allowing him to do so made Klein feel even more uncomfortable.

Especially Claire, who also trained with him that afternoon, was happily having dinner with Leonard and the others as if nothing had happened, which made Klein feel the "disparity" of the world.

At this moment, Leonard actually acted as if he didn't want to waste anything. He pointed at the food on the plate in front of Klein and said, "If you haven't touched it, I can help you."

Klein helplessly let Leonard move the food in front of him.

It wasn't until Klein ate the ice cream with blueberry juice after the meal that he felt a strong sense of hunger. The appetizing cold and sweet taste made Klein feel hungry.

But by the time Klein regained his appetite, the dinner was already coming to an end, and everyone was about to have a final toast.

Klein was anxious: "Captain, can I have another dinner?"

After a moment of silence, everyone laughed softly.

Dunn smiled and said, "You've finally regained your appetite. Of course, you can have two."

Claire leaned back in her chair to rest for a while, while Sharon was pulling Xijia and muttering something, occasionally pointing at Claire.

Claire got goosebumps when she was pointed at.

She also came over and asked, "Why do I feel like you are saying something bad?"

Sharon said righteously, "I'm asking Xijia for advice."

After hearing this, Xiga covered his mouth and laughed, then walked towards Luo Yao holding a champagne glass.

Sharon chuckled softly to Claire and said, "I have good news for you. As your sequence advances, your physical fitness will continue to improve, and your menstrual period will also continue to shorten."

That's what I'm really asking...

That's good news.

But why do I always feel that Sharon’s smile is very malicious?
