What should I do if my pet loves watching anime?

The submission of the site experiment plan was a major relief for Gu Beiri.

At least for the time being, Gu Beiri has time to devote all his energy to training the Scyther.

Based on the information provided by Su Wenya so far, Fluffy Sheep's strength is sufficient to handle the school's major competitions, so the key now is Scyther.

Thanks to Scyther's near-perfect talent in combat, the foundation for training has been laid, and the next step is training on Demon Slash.

Gu Beiri had already made preparations for this.

When I got home, it was almost dusk.

Familiar animated background music drifted from the living room; the two little ones were indeed watching TV again.

This time, the fluffy sheep learned its lesson and sat on the sofa armrest, keeping a safe distance from the flying mantis's scythe.

The little flying mantis sat nestled among the cushions, watching with great interest, its scythes occasionally mimicking moves from the animation.

"I'm back." Gu Beiri put down his backpack.

The two little guys immediately turned around, their eyes filled with anticipation—Fluffy Sheep was looking forward to watching cartoons on the computer tonight, while Scyther was looking forward to what new things the trainer had brought back.

"Here you go, Scyther, this is the basic skill for your next training session."

Gu Beiri took out a skill disc from his backpack. It was black on the outside and resembled a music record.

"just!?"

The flying mantis was very excited when it heard Gu Beiri's words, but it couldn't understand what was in front of it. It curiously tapped it with its scythe, making a dull thud.

"Don't worry, you'll find out tomorrow. For the next period of time, we will devote ourselves to combat training, and your leisure days will be over."

"just!"

"Rong~"

Both elves responded at the same time, but their reactions were completely different.

The flying mantis excitedly waved its scythe, while the fluffy sheep lay on its back on the floor, utterly dejected.

They looked just like elementary school students on the eve of the start of the new school term.

...............

The next day, at dawn.

Gu Beiri stood in the center of the training field, the skill disc in his hand gleaming with a dim light in the morning glow.

The little Scyther stood in front of him, its compound eyes fixed on the black disc, its curiosity and anticipation almost overflowing.

"The skill we'll be learning today is 'Ambush to the Vital Points'," Gu Beiri said in a deep voice. "It's an evil attribute move, and its characteristic is that it makes it easier for your attacks to hit vital points when facing an opponent."

He looked at Scyther with a serious expression: "This is different from the special moves you see in the anime."

This isn't just about flashy moves and a wide range of high-damage skills; it's true combat skill—seizing the fleeting opening when your opponent is most vulnerable and delivering a fatal blow.

"Huh?" Scyther tilted its head, seemingly puzzled.

"Let me demonstrate."

Gu Beiri walked to the edge of the field, where several training targets were placed.

He took a deep breath and inserted the skill disc into the portable learning device.

"Are you ready?"

"just!"

The flying mantis nodded vigorously and stood ready.

The learning device activated, and a dark purple energy beam shot out, precisely enveloping the Flying Mantis.

The little guy's body trembled slightly, and a moment of confusion flashed in his compound eyes before they were filled with some new knowledge.

"Did you feel it?" Gu Beiri asked softly, "That instinct to find weaknesses and strike at the opportune moment?"

The Scyther did not respond immediately, but slowly raised its right scythe.

A faint, dark energy began to gather at the tip of the scythe. Unlike the transparent and sharp vacuum wave, this energy was more concealed and more deadly.

Like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

"Now, try attacking that target."

Gu Beiri pointed to the nearest human-shaped target.

The flying praying mantis flapped its wings slightly and lowered its body.

The next second, it moved.

Without warning, without gathering power, it was like a green lightning bolt flashing across the open ground.

Dark purple energy surged on the scythe, slashing precisely at the dummy's neck.

"Snap!"

Debris flew everywhere.

The dummy's head fell off with a thud, the cut as clean as if it had been made by a professional tool.

Even more surprisingly, the moment the slash was completed, Scyther had already arrived at the opposite position, with the exact same movements as before it started.

If it weren't for the change in location, it would seem like one's eyes were playing tricks on them.

Only the gradually dissipating dark purple energy on its scythe proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.

"just……"

The little guy looked down at his sickle, a hint of disbelief flashing in his compound eyes.

That attack was fast, accurate, and ruthless, and it had an indescribable smoothness to it, as if it was born to attack in that way.

"Excellent!" Gu Beiri clapped. "To achieve such a level of completion on your first attempt, your combat talent is truly astonishing."

He walked over to the dummy and examined the broken edge.

"However, this is just the beginning. The skill disc shows you how to use a sneak attack on vital points, but to truly master it requires a lot of practice."

Gu Beiri turned around, his expression turning serious.

"The essence of a sneak attack lies not in strength, but in timing and angle."

You need to learn to identify your opponent's moments of weakness and then launch an attack at that instant.

The ability to identify weaknesses needs to be honed in actual combat; currently, we are only training your instantaneous attack capabilities.

He pointed to the other side of the field: "Fluffy Sheep, come help."

"Rose!"

The fluffy sheep jumped to the center of the field, and tiny iron sand particles began to condense around its body.

"Phase one training: reaction speed," Gu Beiri said. "The fluffy sheep will randomly launch iron pellets, and you have to smash them with a sneak attack on vital points the instant they get close."

"At the same time," he added, "I'll be using these on the side..."

Gu Beiri took out several colorful balls from his backpack.

"These balls will fly towards you at different speeds and trajectories. You need to learn to accurately find the real target even under multiple interferences."

The little flying scythe took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance.

With a flick of its fluffy tail, the first iron pellet was launched.

Almost at the same time, Gu Beiri threw a small red ball.

Two objects flew in from different directions.

The mantis's compound eyes spun rapidly, instantly determining the trajectory of the iron shot.

Its body was slightly turned to the side, and its right sickle was swung out at an unusual angle.

A flash of dark purple energy appeared.

"Snapped!"

The iron pellets were precisely cut in half and fell to the ground.

The small red ball flew past its wings without causing any disturbance.

"Beautiful!" Gu Beiri exclaimed approvingly. "Continue!"

The training that followed was brutal.

The fluffy sheep's iron shot was being fired at an increasingly faster frequency and at increasingly tricky angles.

Gu Beiri's goaltending balls increased from one to three or four, and sometimes even changed trajectory in the air.

At first, the mantis was able to perform well, but as the training intensity increased, it began to make mistakes.

Either you misjudged the situation and shattered the interference ball, missing the iron shot; or you reacted too slowly and were hit by the iron shot.

"Oops..." After another mistake, the little guy lowered his head in frustration.

"Don't be discouraged." Gu Beiri walked to its side. "A sneak attack on vital points is an advanced technique; it can't be mastered overnight."

Judging solely from the power of the move, Dark Strike's power of 70 isn't particularly high. However, it's a Dark-type move that lacks high-power moves, and its mastery of technique is far superior to other moves that Scyther possesses.
