Dragon Raja: Oh no! Lu Mingfei has been diagnosed with depression!

"Weren't we discussing the data? I think I understand what you're saying. Missing data can lead to misjudgments, and if we're facing the enemy, such misjudgments could cost us our lives."

Caesar had to admit that Lu Mingfei's guess was correct. "Then what is the second guess?"

"The second one is much simpler. Japan is a blind spot for Kassel College. Your reach can't penetrate that country, so you don't know what's happening there."

"Does it really have to be described as tentacles? It sounds a bit dishonest, like we're some kind of marine creature hiding in the deep sea that can't see the light of day."

Caesar sighed; his focus was always unconventional. "What are you going to Japan for? Tourism?"

"Learn swordsmanship."

Lu Mingfei said there was nothing to hide about this, "but I've been a bit more relaxed these past few days, and I've been going to visit nearby attractions in the afternoons."

"You use a Japanese sword, and so does Chu Zihang. I'm curious, whose swordsmanship is better?"

Caesar understood somewhat. "Is this what they call mutual respect between swordsmen? No wonder Chu Zihang invited you to join the Lionheart Society the first time we met. I've heard of some Japanese swordsmanship styles. Which style do you study?"

"I learned all kinds of styles. I started with the Kagami Shinmei-ryu and Niten Ichi-ryu, but I didn't remember the names of the later styles because they were easy to learn."

"So Japanese swordsmanship is that easy to learn? I thought that to become proficient with a Japanese sword, one would need at least several years of practice. The information says you only stayed in Japan for less than two weeks, but you mean you've already learned many styles."

Caesar glanced down at his phone, then looked up at Chu Zihang. "So, what martial arts style did you study?"

"I don't belong to any particular school. I learned kendo at the Children's Palace. The tuition was 3600 yuan, and it was a total of 36 lessons. I only studied swordsmanship for those 36 lessons. The rest of the time I practiced on my own."

Chu Zihang said calmly, "Also, although Japanese swordsmanship is easy to learn, it still takes a long time to practice to the point where you can actually use it in real combat. Kyōshin-meike-ryū is one of the three major schools of Edogawa swordsmanship, and Niten-ichi-ryū is known as the 'Imaginary Sword.' Neither of these schools can be learned in two weeks."

"Strictly speaking, it wasn't two weeks. He just said he's been a bit relaxed lately and has been going for a stroll around the neighborhood."

Caesar used Chu Zihang's tone of voice, as if to get revenge for Chu Zihang's sabotage of him in the arrival hall, but he suddenly realized something was wrong:

"Damn it! I always thought your Japanese swordsmanship was authentic! I spent a long time studying your techniques, thinking that if I understood you thoroughly, I would understand Japanese swordsmanship!"

"If possible, I would like to spar with you. The sword techniques I use are all things I've studied on my own. I'd like to know the difference between these practiced sword techniques and authentic Japanese sword techniques."

Chu Zihang ignored Caesar's shouts of "Damn it!" and looked at Lu Mingfei:

"You can refuse."

"Why do we suddenly have to spar when we were having a nice chat?"

Guderian was shocked and looked up from behind the screen, dumbfounded.

He knew it! These three guys were no pushovers. He just wasn't paying attention and the situation quickly escalated into a sparring match. And Chu Zihang, why don't you take a look in the mirror? You don't look like you can refuse at all right now!

"It's just a friendly spar, which isn't a big deal. I also want to know what's so special about the S-class that the principal values ​​so highly, that it's worth Chu Zihang and I personally acting as intermediaries."

Caesar said nonchalantly, "Professor, didn't you want us to recruit Lu Mingfei into Kassel College? This is the perfect opportunity. The friendship between men is forged in the crucible of real conflict! If he has two friends in the college, do you think he wouldn't want to join?"

Caesar patted Guderian on the shoulder forcefully.

Is that so?

Guderian was somewhat dazed by Caesar's slap. "But you don't have a place to fight. You can't just run out into the street and start fighting, can you?"

"I have a training ground at home, which can be used as a place for sparring."

Chu Zihang said that at this moment, he and Caesar regained their tacit understanding.

"Mingfei, didn't you want to learn about the Dragon Clan? I'm almost done setting it up. Aren't you going to watch it first?"

Guderian could only place his last hope on Lu Mingfei.

"I need a reference point. Just looking at the text makes it impossible to concretely understand what a dragon is. We can look at the data once I have a standard."

Lu Mingfei stood up. "If it's just a friendly spar, it won't take much time."

The three men exchanged a glance and left the room in tacit agreement, leaving Guderian, a lonely old man, to look around the empty room, filled with grief, and continue to work in silence, cursing the psychologist in his heart. Wasn't it supposed to be that as long as he said his love out loud, Lu Mingfei would understand his sincerity?

But he was almost mistaken for a mental patient!

"Your family is quite hospitable."

Caesar remarked that they had received such warm hospitality as soon as they entered.

"Those are the maids at home. My dad is at the company, and my mom is probably out shopping with her best friend right now. I didn't tell them I was back."

Chu Zihang said, leading Lu Mingfei and Caesar through the long corridor.

"Why didn't you tell them?"

Caesar was somewhat surprised.

"Because I don't know how long I'll be staying here, I don't want them to overthink things."

Chu Zihang pushed open the door, and what came into view was a huge and spacious area, filled with common training equipment, all covered with transparent dust covers. Caesar exclaimed in admiration:

"Although it can't compare to my training ground at home, it's still pretty good."

Chu Zihang was already used to Caesar's neuroticism. He walked straight to a corner of the arena, tore off the dust cover, and underneath was a wooden knife rack with all sorts of swords on it.

"These are the swords my dad bought for me when I was learning swordsmanship. They're not the best ones, but they should be enough for sparring."

Chu Zihang picked up a Japanese longsword. "I know that Niten Ichi-ryu is a dual-sword style. You can choose two swords that suit you."

"I'm not picky about the quality of the knife, as long as it can cut off the enemy's neck."

Lu Mingfei stepped forward, casually pulled out a knife, and tossed it in his hand. "Actually, I'm better at using bricks. I only use a knife because it's harder."

Chu Zihang didn't take those words seriously. Seeing that Lu Mingfei had no intention of choosing a second knife, he adopted the stance of a swordsman, staring intently at Lu Mingfei opposite him. The other party simply touched the ground with the tip of his blade, showing no intention of assuming a starting stance.

"Aren't you going to prepare?"

"Are you ready?"

Lu Mingfei asked for some reason.

Chu Zihang was taken aback for a moment. Although he didn't understand the meaning of those words, he still nodded.

The training ground lit up the next moment, and a barrage of sword lights seemed to rain down from the sky, while a belated killing intent, accompanied by a strong wind, rushed towards us.

"Shit! This is Japanese swordsmanship!?"

Caesar cursed loudly. The clanging of swords in the Kamaitachi's domain sounded like the howling of vengeful ghosts, causing him to experience tinnitus in an instant. He stared in astonishment at the flashing swords from all directions, feeling as if he were facing a charge of thousands of troops!

Damn it! Those flashes of light enveloped him too!
