Honkai Impact 3, but I’m Amamiya Ren!

After hearing Amemiya Ren's address to her, Beichen Mei's fair face suddenly turned red. She was so panicked that even her crystal clear little earlobes were completely dyed red.

“No, you don’t have to call me so formally. Although I have obtained the title of Menkyo Kaiden, I am still very immature and cannot bear the title of teacher. Amamiya-kun, just call me… just call me Mei!”

Beichen Meiyi quickly raised her slender white hands and waved them in front of her, refusing to be called Teacher Beichen.

After a slight hesitation, she blushed and asked Amamiya Ren to just call her Mei.

If Amamiya Ren keeps calling her by the surname Beichen, it would be bad if other people who know her hear it... Well, that's all.

"Then I'll call you Mei-senpai! Mei-senpai, what gift do you want?"

Amamiya Ren nodded obediently, but still added "senior" after Mei's name.

Anyway, it’s not like he was directly acknowledging an elder sister. He was just calling the female high school student who was about to teach him practical swordsmanship as a senior.

Although her mental age is a few years older than Beichen Meiyi.

But Amamiya Ren, who is one year younger than Kitano Mei in terms of biological age, even feels that this way of calling her is very novel, exciting and interesting.

Although it may be translated as senior or senior depending on the situation, in fact, the Japanese term for them is "senpai".

As Amamiya Ren called her "Senbei" over and over again, Beichen Mei trembled and gradually lost herself. Her amethyst-like eyes became a little blurry.

".....Ah? Ah! No need for gifts or anything like that. I am just teaching swordsmanship to Amamiya-kun as a friend. There is no need for any apprenticeship gift."

After being called several times by Amamiya Ren, Beichen Mei finally came to her senses.

She coughed softly twice, and then once again rejected Amamiya Ren's idea of ​​giving her a gift.

As a kendo style that has been passed down from the Edo period to the present day, Hokushin Ittoryu is very difficult to learn and can be said to be very talent-intensive.

Although he didn't want to discourage the enthusiasm of the junior Amemiya in front of him, but when it comes to kendo, if you don't know how to do it, you just don't know how to do it.

If you don't have talent, you won't be able to improve much even if you practice day after day for years.

However, even if he is unable to fully master the essence of Beichen Ittoryu, just learning the basics is enough for Junior Brother Amamiya to be a hero and fight ten ordinary people at once.

Since she had already agreed to teach Amamiya Ren the Hokuchen Ittoryu sword technique, Hokuchen Mei had no intention of breaking the contract.

No matter how talented Amamiya Ren is in kendo, Beichen Mei will do her best to teach Amamiya Ren to complete the study of Beichen Ittoryu - unless he chooses to give up.

"The Kendo Club should be empty right now. If you don't have any other plans, would you like to go with me to the Kendo Club to start training?"

Before Amamiya Ren could continue to persist, Beichen Meii directly displayed her ultimate move and called on Amamiya Ren to go to the Kendo Club to start learning Beichen Ittoryu.

"No problem, I'll be free later!"

Seeing that Beichen Mei decided to start teaching her practical swordsmanship, Amamiya Ren suddenly became excited and nodded to Beichen Mei repeatedly.

Although he has explored the impression space today, he is not tired yet!

As long as no cat jumps out and says he is tired, then he is not tired!

Chapter 19 I have been working out

"Amamiya-kun has good stamina, have you been working out?"

Because Amamiya Ren was a complete layman who had never been exposed to kendo before, Beichen Mei did not directly teach him the family-inherited Beichen Ittoryu.

Instead, he started from the basics, teaching Amamiya Ren the basic knowledge and sword skills of kendo, and instructing him how to hold the sword and exert force to perform standard swinging movements.

At the beginning, Mei Beichen still needed to lean close to Amamiya Ren and correct his improper posture hand in hand.

However, Mei Beichen only corrected each movement once, and then Amamiya Ren could perform that kendo move perfectly.

Even in the eyes of Mei Kitano, a kendo master with extraordinary talent, Amamiya Ren's sword-wielding movements were extremely correct and beautiful, as standard as a textbook, and there was nothing wrong with them.

If Mei Beichen hadn't watched Amamiya Ren gradually evolve from clumsily swinging the sword to being able to swing out a powerful sword attack at will.

Mei Kitano will definitely think that Amamiya Ren is actually here to play her, and is actually an excellent player who has been immersed in kendo for many years.

Moreover, Amamiya Ren's physical strength is also particularly outstanding.

He had repeated the action of swinging the sword for two hours, but the movement had not changed at all, and it was still as standard and powerful as the first time.

Mei Beichen couldn't help but recall the time when she first started learning kendo.

Although I was still young, it took me three full months to be able to swing the sword for two hours continuously like Amamiya Ren without any awkwardness or sluggishness.

But Amamiya Ren quickly achieved this interim goal once he got started. His talent in kendo made Kitatsu Mei look at him sideways.

Mei Beichen had anticipated that Amemiya Ren had poor talent, and she had also thought about the result that he had good talent.

But no one would have expected that Amamiya Ren's talent in kendo could be so excellent.

“Yeah, I do exercise.”

He swung the sword continuously for two hours, and the power contained in each sword was exactly the same. Even Amamiya Ren herself was amazed at the power hidden in her body.

It would be fine if one could achieve this level when physically fit, and it could be considered as a gift.

But before going to the Kendo Club, Amamiya Ren had just gone through the memory space with Yuto.

After returning to the real world, his physical strength recovered so quickly, and his physical energy was inexhaustible like a monster, which was completely beyond Amamiya Ren's expectations.

“The human body is truly amazing.”

At the advice of Mei Kitanoshita, Amamiya Ren stopped swinging the sword which had lasted for two hours.

He casually lowered the bamboo sword in his hand to the smooth wooden floor of the Kendo Club at his feet, then took the white towel that Beichen Meiyi enthusiastically handed over and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It is different from high-intensity battles that consume your mind and spirit.

Although kendo training consumes physical strength, it gives Amamiya Ren a refreshing feeling that she is getting stronger.

As sweat continued to flow out due to exercise, he felt that his spirit was sufficiently nourished.

This should be the benefit obtained after awakening the power of the personality mask.

Not only will physical abilities be greatly enhanced in the impression space, but even in the real world one can still benefit from the increase in physical fitness.

Although Mei Beichen stopped her from swinging the sword, Ren Amamiya felt that she could still continue swinging the sword for another hour or two.

However, since he has to continue exploring the impression space with Yutu tomorrow, he can't put all his energy into kendo training.

If kendo training drains your physical strength and you are unable to exert your full strength in the memory space the next day, then it would be a case of missing the forest for the trees.

"Amamiya-kun's kendo talent is outstanding, even better than mine."

A hint of genuine joy appeared in Beichen Mei's purple gemstone-like eyes. She was not the kind of person who was arrogant about her talent in kendo.

After discovering that Amamiya Ren's talent in kendo was stronger than her own, Beichen Mei did not feel jealous or dissatisfied. Instead, she felt genuinely happy for Amamiya Ren.

The desire to teach the family-inherited Hokushin Ittoryu to Amamiya Ren suddenly became more intense.

"According to Amamiya-kun's current progress, it will only take about a week... If Amamiya-kun practices diligently in private, perhaps it will only take three to five days to officially start learning Hokushin Ittoryu."

Beichen Mei pondered for a moment, and based on the kendo talent currently displayed by Amamiya Ren, estimated how long it would take for him to officially meet the requirements to learn Beichen Ittoryu.

"Too slow, I want to learn the swordsmanship of Hokushin Ittoryu as soon as possible... Mei-senpai, are you free during normal times? I can pay you to learn swordsmanship from you."

She was able to gain recognition from Hokushin Mei of Hokushin Ittoryu Menkyo Kaiden in a short period of time and was told that she could directly learn Hokushin Ittoryu within a week.

This is already astonishing enough in the eyes of those who know the matter, and they call Amamiya Ren extremely talented and a genius in kendo.

But Amamiya Lian frowned in dissatisfaction.

He learned kendo not just to strengthen his body, but to save the world.

Of course, if you want to learn kendo to save the world, the sooner the better. The sooner it can be used, the more advantages you will have.

Even though I had only known Beichen Mei for two hours, it was very abrupt to suddenly make such a request.

Moreover, Qianyu Academy is obviously an aristocratic school. As the president of the Kendo Club of Qianyu Academy, Mei Beichen must be a rich lady with no shortage of money.

However, in order to learn the Hokushin Ittoryu as soon as possible to increase her own combat effectiveness, Amamiya Ren still asked Hokushin Mei for more private training.

In Amamiya Ren's opinion, relying solely on the time spent on club activities within the school is simply not enough.

He now even wished he could escape into movie time and live every day as if it were twenty-five hours.

"More haste, less speed. Whether it's kendo or anything else, you need to proceed step by step... Well, if it's Amamiya-kun, maybe it's okay to speed up a bit."

Mei Beichen frowned subconsciously and wanted to reprimand Amamiya Ren.

Kendo is not something that can be mastered overnight, and the human body is not an indestructible steel machine.

Excessive exercise will only cause damage to the body, which in turn will become an obstacle to the practice of kendo.

During her kendo practice, Beichen Mei had seen countless people who had to be hospitalized due to rhabdomyolysis because they did not grasp the right training methods and intensity.

However, when Beichen Mei stared at Amamiya Ren's face, her originally stern tone suddenly turned gentle again.

Chapter 20: Believe in Mei, because there is no need for a reason to believe!

From Amamiya Ren's current relaxed complexion, Beichen Mei can tell that his physical strength is still abundant, and his stamina is as bottomless as a monster.

Obviously, the amount of training was enough to make the elite players in the kendo club fall to the ground exhausted, but Amamiya Ren's physical strength was still far from reaching the limit. She looked rosy and had plenty of energy left.

Everyone's physical condition is different, and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the correct approach.

"No need for compensation. I usually practice kendo in my free time. If Amamiya-kun has time, I can always train with you."

As a rich lady who has never been involved in worldly affairs, Beichen Meiyi's entertainment options are very limited, basically just practicing kendo.

When her father, Raiden Ryoma, was imprisoned, her lifestyle became even more monotonous, and she could only continue to numb herself by burying herself in kendo practice.

Although there is also a friend named Kiana who transferred to the school.

But Kiana also has her own things to do. After school, she will be busy running around the city all day, looking for clues about her missing father.

How could Beichen Mei have the nerve to ask Kiana to stay with her when it comes to such a serious life event?

Therefore, Amamiya Ren's request to continue practicing kendo outside of school club time actually satisfied Beichen Mei's wishes even more.

Mei Beichen really needs the company of others now. Even if it is just to practice kendo together, it is like a happy moment of redemption for her.

"Great... Then I'll trouble you, Mei-senpai!"

The relationship between Amamiya Ren and Kitano Mei when they first met.

Even with the bonus of Amamiya Ren helping Beichen Mei who was bullied at school, the request for Beichen Mei to take out her private time to practice kendo with him still seemed a bit over the line.

Amamiya Ren had already prepared herself to receive a rejection.

But what he never expected was that Beichen Mei agreed to his request without any hesitation. She is a very beautiful and kind person.

Mei Kitano's thoughtfulness deeply touched Amamiya Ren.

In order to repay Mei Beichen for her help, he has to find a way to help her deal with the school bullying she suffered from her former kendo club members!

And just when Amamiya Ren was thinking in her heart how to repay Beichen Mei.

Mei Beichen seemed to see through Amamiya Ren's inner thoughts and suddenly made a request to Amamiya Ren.

"I don't need any thanks for teaching swordsmanship to Amamiya-kun, but can you please grant me a request?"

After seeing Amamiya Ren nodded in response without hesitation, Beichen Mei pursed her pink lips.

She took a deep breath, and then under Amamiya Ren's surprised gaze, she made a request to him.

"I hope that Amamiya-kun will not ask other people about me, and will not interfere in the affairs between me and the members of the Kendo Club... As long as Amamiya-kun is willing to agree, I will do my best to teach Amamiya-kun to learn the swordsmanship of Hokushin Ittoryu!"

The request that Mei Beichen made to herself was so unexpected that even Ren Amamiya opened her eyes wide and was stunned for a long time.

Normally, victims of school bullying should try every possible means to grasp at straws and struggle to extricate themselves from the quagmire of despair and cruelty.

Mei Kitano's request for Amamiya Ren to leave her alone is completely against common sense.

Could it be that Mei Beichen is the type of person who has a strong sense of self-esteem and wants to solve the bullying incident on her own?

But she has been bullied to the point of being distorted, and even the palace in her spiritual world is almost completely formed!

Besides, when Beichen Mei was demonstrating sword moves to Amamiya Ren just now, Amamiya Ren could see that Beichen Mei definitely had real skills and it was definitely not by relying on connections that she became the president of the Kendo Club of Qianyu Academy.

It is too strange that he has such strong and profound attainments in kendo, but he did not choose to pick up the bamboo sword and spank the female students who bullied him until they were crying.

The incident of Mei Beichen being bullied at school is indeed not as simple as it seems on the surface. There must be a lot of water involved. There are many unknown reasons behind it that prompted Mei Beichen to make such a decision.

If he wants to get to the bottom of the truth behind this school bullying incident, it's too early given his current relationship with Beichen Meiyi. It seems he needs to continue to promote community relations.
