Fight the monsters before 8 am

"Ugh..."

Rukia sighed, then turned over and sat up. Her movement somehow reminded people of the movement of a giant panda turning over.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Rukia hugged her shoulders and said, "A comfortable life can easily wear down one's fighting spirit. My body has now turned into that of a junior high school human girl who has never exercised. I also have no power as a god of death. All that's left is my combat experience, combat awareness, and combat will. If I lose even these, I will really become a junior high school human girl."

When she was still in Soul Society, Rukia had never thought about the fact that a happy life could corrode people.

Now coming here, one is the way that convenient and cheap Internet entertainment in modern society wastes personal time, and the other is the pleasure she experienced when receiving treatment from Xing and Yue. Both of these have taught Rukia a solid lesson.

Xing Heyue scratched his head with the end of the marker. He didn't know how to answer because he had never thought about these things before.

After he came here, physical problems, environmental problems, transformation device problems, livelihood problems, etc. came one after another, and he had no time to think about other things.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, this is all my problem."

Seeing the bewildered looks on Xing and Yue's faces, Rukia waved her hand and spoke.

It seems that I also need to make some arrangements for my life, or at least write a plan, including when to read the "Bleach" comics carefully and take notes, when to learn Chinese, when to meditate and feel the spiritual power, and when to exercise.

"By the way, what are you writing?" Rukia asked Xing and Yue.

"You're talking about this," Xing Heyue picked up the booklet next to the notebook and handed it to Rukia, "This is the menu of the store that the store manager gave me when I went for the interview yesterday. She asked me to take a look at it and see what I can cook. She also asked me to think about whether there are any dishes that are suitable to be added."

Today is already Sunday. Xing, Yue, and Rukia are all staying at home. They don't have to work or go to school. Moreover, the lake where they practice skills is closed, so they have nowhere to go.

Taking into consideration that Xing and Yue had been busy all day, and that the treatment for herself was quite exhausting, Rukia let Xing and Yue have a good rest yesterday and the combat training would be carried out another day.

Rukia flipped through the booklet in her hand. After all, it was written in Chinese, so she couldn't understand most of it, but she could understand the pictures.

After flipping through it briefly, Rukia threw the booklet to Xing and Yue again.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. Once you start working and finances are no longer tight, I will cook all the dishes listed above for you.” Xing Heyue said.

"Okay... huh, who wants to eat? Don't treat me like a glutton." Rukia blushed and said insincerely.

"Oh, okay, then let's not do it." Xing and Yue didn't understand why Rukia suddenly got angry.

Human women are really hard to understand. No, Rukia cannot be completely considered a human woman.

"That won't work!" Rukia said quickly again.

"..."

Xing and Yue scratched their heads, looking confused, not knowing how to answer. Was this a yes or no answer?

"Then I do it?"

Xing Heyue hesitated for a moment and spoke based on his intuition, but his tone was not very sure.

"Well, let my divine tongue taste your work. After all, it is going to be sold, and it must taste good." This time, Rukia was satisfied.

"What is the Tongue of God? Do you have this setting?" Xing Heyue asked puzzledly.

But Rukia is the god of death, so it is not wrong to say that her tongue is the tongue of God.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a setting in an anime." Rukia waved her hand, "Why do I feel like I'm the one who has stayed in this world longer?"

After saying that, Rukia stretched out her arms and stretched.

"Ha~~~~~After you finish writing, let's go exercise?" Rukia asked Xing and Yue.

"No problem, I can do it now. I don't officially start working until next week anyway."

Xing and Yue put the booklet inside the notebook, closed the notebook, put the pen cap on, and put the things in the drawer.

"By the way, I don't have anywhere to hang this, do you want it?"

Xing and Yue saw the two doll pendants they had placed in the drawer, took them out and handed them to Rukia.

"What is this?" Rukia asked, looking at the two doll pendants in her hands. "This little pig is so cute, but why is it not pink? It's bright yellow and orange instead."

"Sure enough, you also think this looks like a pig, right?"

Xing Heyue took out the park guide that the park staff had given him. In the corner of the guide was the image of the park's mascot, which Xing Heyue only discovered after he left the park and went home to take a closer look.

By the way, why is the mascot printed in the corner, and why is it printed so small?

By the way, Xing and Yue think that sister Gancheng and brother Guanghui printed in the picture can be seen as cats.

How come the doll pendant looks so much like a pig, even its race has changed?

"The bright yellow one is brother Guanghui, and the orange one is sister Gancheng. They are the mascots of my workplace, and they are cats, not pigs." Xing and Yue said.

"Huh?" Rukia widened her eyes in surprise and looked carefully at the pendant in her hand.

Chapter 82: Don't run! Rush towards this wooden sword!

Rukia finally accepted the two little pigs... no, they were kittens, and she hung the two mascots together with her keys.

"Okay, let's do the training."

Rukia threw her keys on the table and picked up the cherry wood sword standing against the wall.

After being trimmed by Xing and Yue, this wooden sword was transformed from a barely-there wooden sword into a real wooden sword.

Considering that there were no polishing tools, paint or oil at home, Xing and Yue transformed directly, used Ultra Telekinesis to polish the entire wooden sword, and then used energy to coat the outside with a layer of film.

As for the rabbit head carved by Rukia on the handle, Xing and Yue slightly modified it and left it there. It looks ugly and cute.

"No problem. Do you want to go to the yard?" Xing and Yue also stood up and asked.

"No need, just go in the corridor. The corridor is big enough and has wooden floors. But your current equipment won't do. Let me think about how to get you some protective gear."

Rukia first looked at the stars and the moon, then searched the room for something that could be used.

After a while, Rukia walked out of the room holding a wooden sword.

She stood in the corridor and shouted into the room: "He Yue, come out quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xing and Yue came out.

He was dressed quite exaggeratedly now, with thick textbooks tied on his arms as arm guards, two pillows tied on his chest as chest guards, a motorcycle helmet on his head, and towels tied on his elbows and knees as elbow and knee pads.

"Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Xing Heyue asked. He felt that he was not moving smoothly.

"No..." Looking at the looks of Xing and Yue, Rukia almost couldn't hold back. Fortunately, she controlled her expression in time and didn't laugh.

She took a deep breath to prevent herself from laughing out loud, and then said, "It's not an exaggeration at all. The training for new recruits is basically to be beaten."

"I'm really curious about what you experienced at the Maou Spiritual Academy." Xing Heyue said.

"That's not quite the same."

Rukia distanced herself from Xing and Yue, her expression immediately becoming serious.

Although it was the same person, Xing and Yue felt like they were facing a different person.

Rukia now has a stern face, holding a wooden sword in one hand with the sword resting on her shoulder, and the other hand on her waist. The aura of a god of death emanates from her. She is completely different from the Rukia who was lazily lying on the bed and looking at her phone ten minutes ago.

“If time permits, I really want to teach you all the stances and moves, and then wait until you have developed muscle memory before practicing with you in actual combat.

Now it is no longer possible. You have to face the monsters that may appear at any time, so you must first learn not to be afraid of fighting. If you are not afraid, you will not panic. If you are not panic, you will have the opportunity to think. Think about how to protect the vital parts, how to avoid, and how to fight back.

In short, your most important task now is not to be afraid in the battle and to bravely rush towards my wooden sword. "

As she spoke, Rukia hooked her fingers at Xing and Yue, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she looked unusually strong.

"Makes sense."

Xing Heyue nodded. He was stunned by Rukia's theory, but he felt that he had heard the last sentence somewhere before.

So Xing Heyue asked, "Did you watch the special effects drama of Ultraman Leo?"

"Ahaha, you found out all this?" Rukia scratched her head and smiled innocently, "I think the jeep is quite effective, but it's easy to get hurt, and we don't have money to buy a car."

"You." Xing and Yue were a little helpless and didn't know what to say to Rukia.

“Although it’s related to Ultraman Leo, it’s not that relevant. In addition to making jokes, this method is indeed useful. Well, there’s no point in saying more! Let’s fight, boy!”

Rukia adjusted her expression, held the knife in both hands, and took a stance.

She moved her fingers a bit, then gripped the handle again, thinking to herself, this wooden sword feels really good, the weight and length are just right.

Looking up at Xing and Yue, Rukia saw that Xing and Yue had already assumed a stance, but it looked awkward. It was obvious that they were imitating a stance she had seen before, but had not really learned it.

"Be careful."

Rukia gave a reminder, then rushed towards Xing Heyue with a knife in her hand. In an instant, she came in front of Xing Heyue and chopped down from top to bottom with the knife in her hand.

Just like Rukia said, when Xing and Yue faced the battle, their heads were not clear, but at least their thinking was a little slow due to panic.

Instead, his body instinctively raised his arm to block the attack.

The wooden sword hit the book on Xing and Yue's arms, making a dull sound.

The sound was quite loud, but Xingheyue didn't feel much pain in his arms. He understood that Rukia had still restrained her strength.

"Now you understand, your problem is that you had never fought before, nor had you trained, so you panic when facing a battle. Many students are the same, they practice the moves very well, but when it comes to actual combat, they just start using turtle punches and forget everything they learned."

Rukia raised the hilt of the knife, and the other end of the "seesaw" with Xingheyue's arms as the fulcrum gently hit Xingheyue's head.

"I know you have a skill that allows you to inject energy into your arms and use them as shields. I remember it was called a simple improved V-shaped barrier, right? It's similar to how you use books as arm guards to block attacks.

But you can't develop the habit of subconsciously using your arms to block attacks. If the opponent's attack is strong enough to break through the V-shaped barrier, your arms will be at risk of being disabled, and you will be at a disadvantage in the battle."

Rukia put away her wooden sword and spoke seriously.

But she quietly moved her shoulders. She did not do any warm-up exercises before swinging the knife, and her body showed basically no signs of exercise, so she twisted her shoulder when she took the knife just now.

"I see." Xing Heyue nodded. He also agreed with Rukia's words. Then he asked, "What is the goal of our training during this period? We need to train ourselves to not panic when facing a battle. This ultimate goal is not very clear, so there is no way to accurately measure the extent of my training."

"That's right," Rukia thought for a moment and said, "Then the goal at this stage is to try to use your arm guard to block my attacks."

"Doesn't this conflict with what you just said?"

Xing and Yue were a little confused. Rukia had just told them not to get into the habit of blocking attacks with their arms, but now she wanted them to practice using the arm guard to block all attacks.

"No conflict, no conflict. Didn't I tell you before that your main task now is to take a beating? You have to learn how to protect your vital parts. Once you can consciously block my attacks with your arms, you will practice how to dodge them. After that, you will practice how to consciously attack and counterattack. It's useless to just talk. Keep going."

After saying this, Rukia gave Xing and Yue some time to react, then picked up the wooden sword and swept across.

Chapter 83: Cheng Guangzhi’s Gift

"hiss..."

Feeling the pain in their arms, Xing and Yue reached out to rub them, but as soon as their palms touched their arms, the pain became even more intense.

"what happened?"

Cheng Guangzhi put down the "Illustrated Guide to Greek Mythology Goddesses" in his hand and turned to look at Xing and Yue.

"Nothing, I just felt too weak recently, so I started exercising. Maybe I over-exercised, hiss..."

He didn't know where he touched again, and he sucked in a breath of cold air with his mouth stretched out.

It is now Monday afternoon. After yesterday's training, when Xing and Yue got up from the bed this morning, they felt pain all over their bodies.

Although Rukia had deliberately restrained her strength during training, Xing and Yue still felt pain in the parts of their bodies that were hit, especially their arms that had been blocking the attacks.

Yesterday, halfway through practice, Xing and Yue added a pad between the book and their arms. After the training, Rukia also taught Xing and Yue how to relieve arm fatigue and pain.

But even so, Xing and Yue still felt numb pain in their arms, and these two arms didn't feel like their own.

"Exercise, and be a little careful. Over-exercising is not a good thing." Cheng Guangzhi reminded.

"Thank you for the reminder, but there's nothing we can do about it." Xing Heyue said.

"It can't be helped..."

Cheng Guangzhi covered the lower half of his face with the book in his hand. He rolled his eyes and then opened the drawer.

"By the way, this is for you."

Hearing Cheng Guangzhi's voice, Xing Heyue looked up and saw Cheng Guangzhi throwing something to them.

Xing Heyue hurriedly reached out to take it. He didn't know if it was because of the beating he received yesterday, but he felt that his reaction to emergencies had become faster.

The thing felt heavy in his hand. Xing and Yue looked down and saw that what Cheng Guangzhi threw over was a landscape crystal ball.

Xing and Yue had also seen this thing. There was a landscape crystal ball in the common room.

However, the landscape crystal ball in the public lounge is much larger than the one in Xing and Yue’s hands, and the scenery inside is a city in the snow.

The landscape crystal ball in Xing and Yue's hands shows the spiral arms of the Milky Way.

"It's so beautiful. There's even a small universe inside." Xing Heyue picked up the landscape crystal ball, put it in front of them and said.

The craftsmanship of this crystal ball is so great that the spiral arms of the Milky Way inside look real. And if you look closely, you can see that the spiral arms of the Milky Way are not static, but dynamic.
