Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Generally speaking, when two people live together, the housework is shared by both of them. For example, he makes breakfast today, and his roommate makes it tomorrow. Zieg had originally planned to do so, but after he found himself getting up earlier than Stella three times in a row, Zieg took the initiative to take care of the breakfast, and Stella was responsible for the dinner every day.

This is not to say that Stella sleeps in every day. She usually gets up at eight o'clock, which is relatively early. But because of the habit he developed on the Kreinsheed, Sieg wakes up at seven o'clock every day. The extra hour is just right for preparing breakfast.

Of course, because she had to go to school today, Stella got up at seven o'clock just like Sieg.

Not long after, as the clock hands gradually pointed to eight o'clock, the two people who had quickly finished their breakfast walked out of the dormitory one after the other.

————————————————————

The courses at Pojun Academy are not very stressful.

Although Stella was put in solitary confinement before school started and didn't even attend the opening ceremony, she was a princess to begin with. In addition, Sieg would show her his notes from class every day when he got home, so she didn't need any adaptation process for the morning cultural classes.

Therefore, compared with the cultural courses, Stella is more looking forward to the practical courses in the afternoon.

Of course, she was even more grateful that she didn't have to be in the same class with that brother-obsessed sister.

however--

“Hu~~~Hu~~~Hu~~~~”

In the third training ground of Pojun Academy.

After running the last lap while panting, Stella kept gasping for air and looked at the teacher sitting in the audience next to her: "Why is the actual combat training running? I thought it would be a simulated battle!"

"Where can you find an opponent who can fight a mock battle with you, Your Highness?"

Xijing Ningyin, who didn't look or act like an adult, swung her feet like a child and said with a smile, "Or do you look down on this kind of physical training?"

"Not really, I'm just a little surprised." Stella wiped the sweat off her face. "When I saw you were the instructor for this class, I thought I could have a competition with you, but I didn't expect you to ask us to run laps right away... and you even asked us to run 50 laps without using any magic!"

The training ground's stage is a circular stage with a diameter of one hundred meters. Although one lap is not a long distance, running fifty laps is not something that can be completed casually.

In fact, almost all the students were now lying on the stage, each of them gasping for breath and sweating profusely.

Xijing Ningyin smiled and said, "After all, physical fitness is very important. I have seen many swordsmen who have good magic power but poor physical fitness. Improving actual combat effectiveness is important, but if you only have the endurance for one round of burst, then you are no different from O man, right?"

"I don't like men who can only have one shot. Young and energetic boys have to last longer."

(As a teacher, is it really appropriate for you to openly make dirty jokes like this?)

All the students, whether standing or lying down, could no longer hold back.

The world's third-ranked powerful swordsman, known as the strongest magic knight in the Eastern Pacific, [Yaksha Princess] Xijing Ningyin. Like Stella, the students were very excited and nervous when they saw her as a practical teacher, but in less than an hour, the little bit of nervousness and excitement was defeated by Xijing Ningyin herself.

She has the body of a little girl who never grows up, but her words and actions are no different from those of a timid middle-aged man. She gives people the impression of a little female devil.

Who can still feel awe towards her?

Ignoring Xijing Ningyin's teasing, Stella looked at Sieg and Kurogane Ikki who were standing not far away.

The 50-lap long-distance race was definitely a big burden for the freshmen who had just entered this year. In fact, half of the students could not even finish half of the race. Although Stella was the last one to stop, she actually ran 50 laps.

This was all thanks to the fact that she had been exercising since she was a child and her physical fitness was pretty good, but even so, she was so tired that she could hardly stand.

On the other hand, Sieg and Kurogane Ikki——

(I didn't even take a breath.)

The two of them were the first to finish the training, and both completed the full 50 laps. Among them, Sieg almost finished the whole course at a sprint speed, which made people wonder if he had such a thing as "physical strength". After sprinting 50 laps, his breathing was as steady as if he had not run at all.

Ikki Kurogane was a little slower by a few minutes, but his speed remained unchanged throughout the whole process.

However, Stella remembered that Sieg said that Ikki Kurogane would run a full 20 kilometers every morning, and his running method was quite special, so his cardiopulmonary function might be stronger than his.

(Is there such a gap between me and them in the most basic physical training? I am still far behind.)

Just as Stella was thinking this——

"Good! Looks like none of them can run anymore!"

Jumping up from the audience, Xijing Ningyin waved the folding fan in her hand and said, "I will not count who has finished and who has not. Now let's start the next stage - [Earth Binding Formation]."

Before the students present could react, a terrifying gravity fell directly on all of them.

Stella also felt her body sink, and her knees bent uncontrollably.

(This is--!)

"The second stage of physical training, um~~~ the time limit is one hour. Those who can stand up from the pressure of my gravity can go to rest in advance."

"Do your best, little guys~~~"

40.——[Demon]

In the past, there was no physical training in the practical courses of Pojun Academy. Even if there was, it was just warm-up exercises or running one or two laps.

One of the reasons is that compared to physical fitness, the magic knight's use of magic and control of supernatural powers are more worthy of training.

But after Shinguji Kurono became the chairman last year, she directly arranged a series of courses that were more oriented towards practical training. After all, in addition to supervising Sieg, she also came to enhance the overall strength of Pojun Academy.

That’s why we have the current situation.

However, it is precisely because Xijing Ningyin and Shinguji Kurono have been friends for many years, otherwise, as the world's strongest gravity sorcerer, Xijing Ningyin would never have been able to be a physical fitness teacher for a group of children.

(Hmm~~~Is it okay to handle Xiao Hei's mission like this?)

Xijing Ningyin waved her folding fan in boredom.

The earthbinding formation she set up this time only had 10 times the gravity, which was nothing to any formal knight, but for these student knights, it was an insurmountable hurdle.

(Just killing time like this until the get out of class is over - I don't think so.)

If it was any other class, Xijing Ningyin was sure that she could just hang up until the end of the get out of class, but for this first grade class one—

"Teacher Xijing, can I take a break now?"

As if nothing had happened, Sieg walked to the edge of the stage despite ten times the gravity, and asked Xijing Ningyin.

With an expected smile, Xijing Ningyin pointed to the seat beside her: "I knew you wouldn't be affected. Okay, come and sit over here. I also have something to ask you - other guys, come on!"

"Well......!"

"Gu——!"

The students who had never experienced gravity screamed like a defeated female knight.

After Sieg came and sat down behind Xijing Ningyin, Xijing Ningyin also floated up to his side: "Oh my~~~ Although we are both A-level, your performance is really much better than that of the Red Lotus Princess. The mere 10 times gravity can't do anything to you - although I knew it last year."

In the brief battle with Sieg last year, the earth-binding array used by Xijing Ningyin had more than 10 times the gravity? Even the earth-binding array with 200 times the gravity failed to completely suppress Sieg in the end.

"You should be used to being pressed down by gravity, right?" Xijing Ningyin asked with a smile, "Let me guess, is it related to the woman in armor back then?"

"...Is this the same thing again?"

"Hmm~~~ Who made me meet such an interesting opponent?"

Xijing Ningyin leaned on Qi Ge: "Just tell me about that guy~~~I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Xijing Ningyin cares a lot about Tina's affairs.

Perhaps it was because of the brief fight last year, or perhaps it was because of the appearance of a gravity sorcerer whom he had never heard of but whose level was not inferior to his own. During the year that Sieg was in solitary confinement, Xijing Ningyin would come to harass him at any time and ask him about Tina.

The reason why Zigg only went out for one or two days each time, apart from having to come back for classes, was largely to prevent Xijing Ningyin from discovering that he was not in the dormitory.

"If Mr. Xijing is interested, you can investigate it yourself. There is no need to ask me."

As always before, Sieg did not reveal Tina's affairs.

Although he is a human and Tina is a high-ranking dragon, for now, they are companions, and Sieg will not leak the information about his companions to strangers who cannot be fully trusted.

"Of course I have checked, but it's just like you." Xijing Ningyin shook her head helplessly, "I have looked through the information of gravity magicians all over the world, and there is no one who fits the bill. And I can't find any reliable information about you either."

"You and her are like two people who appeared out of thin air. Even if all the information is complete, if you follow the information, it's like rootless water. There is no real evidence at all."

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and the amusement in his eyes gradually disappeared. Xijing Ningyin put the folding fan in his hand against Qi Ge's neck: "It's so weird~~~~Don't you think so?"

"Teacher Xijing, you can just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to play dumb with me. I'm not very smart, and I don't understand your tricks." Sieg opened his folding fan, "Of course I will say what I can say, but I won't say what I can't say even if you chop off my head."

"Oh my, this is so scary."

Shrinking back to her position, Xijing Ningyin smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I don't intend to kill such an interesting little guy like you. If I must say, I just want to have a serious fight with the guy in armor. If you can, just convey my message, is that okay?"

"...I'll try my best."

"That's good - let's change the subject. I heard something very interesting from Xiao Hei a while ago. You said that your spirit suit has been integrated with you since some time ago?"

"Well, what happened?"

Is there anything wrong with this statement?

Seeing Sieg's stunned reaction, Xijing Ningyin paused for a moment and said, "Well... if you say there is a problem, then it must be a big problem, but if you say there is no problem, then it seems there is no problem. After all, except for your mental disorder, you are quite normal in all aspects."

"Besides, if you really had a problem, you wouldn't be so weak."

Weak?

This evaluation made Sieg frown. After what happened last year, he had overturned his previous evaluation of this planet. Coupled with his experience of running around the world in the past year, Sieg was sure that there were many beings in this world that he could not defeat at all.

For example, those who rank at the top of the KOK A-level alliance, such as the legendary "Tyrant" who reigns over the entire underground world, such as the strongest superpower person in the United States across the Pacific Ocean, "Superman", and the world's most vicious criminal, "Biyi"

If we add up all the scattered people, there must be at least thirty or forty of them, right?

But apart from that, Sieg felt that with his regenerative ability, he should be able to defeat them if he fought hard. Even those people he listed, he might be able to fight them.

"When I say you are weak, I am not referring to your overall strength. In terms of direct combat capability, I personally think that even if you participate in KOK like me, you can rank in the upper middle level."

As if seeing through Sieg's thoughts, Xijing Ningyin corrected him, "When I say weak, I mean that you are still too weak as a [Demon]."

41.——【Transcendence and Awakening】

[Demon]

This name made Zigg stunned for a moment.

"what is that?"

"Oh? You've already completed that step, but you don't even know what kind of existence you are?" Xijing Ningyin closed her folding fan. "But it seems that you don't have common sense. I also heard that your academic performance is terrible~~~~"

"Does this have anything to do with the demon?"

"It's okay, I was just joking." Xijing Ningyin said with a smile, "Let's think about it. If we want to talk about [Demon], we must first——"

Snapped!

Before Xijing Ningyin could finish her words, a falling fist interrupted her.

Shinguji Kurono, who had come up behind them at some point, pinched her friend's neck in annoyance and said, "Could you please not share this kind of confidential information as after-dinner talk?"

"Hey~~~ Xiao Hei? What are you doing here?"

"I came to inspect the work to prevent you from being lazy, but I actually caught you." Shinguji Kurono lit a cigarette, "You almost let the international secrets out."

"Eh~~~~"

Xijing Ningyin deliberately prolonged the last syllable of her voice: "What does it matter? Anyway, this little guy has been with me for a long time. As a senior, I am just explaining some basic theoretical knowledge to him. Is there any problem?"

Boom!

Another chestnut, neither light nor heavy, fell.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Shinguji Kurono exhaled the smoke: "I knew you would say that... Never mind, since we have already obtained the permission and confirmation from the branch chief, there is no problem in just saying it directly - Sieg, you know that everyone's magic power is fixed at birth, right?"

"Ah."

"In most cases, this situation will not change. But in rare cases, some swordsmen can transcend this limitation, merge their spiritual equipment with themselves, and increase their total magic power. We call this phenomenon [Awakening]."

"Those who have completed the [Awakening] of the Swordsmen are collectively called [Demons] - this moving public indecency crime is one of the only three [Demons] in Japan."

"uh-huh!"

Xijing Ningyin proudly puffed out her nonexistent chest, then smiled with some regret: "Having said that, Xiaohei, you could have been the fourth person."

"Eh? Chairman, aren't you a [Demon]?"

Sieg looked at the woman sitting on him with some surprise.

Like Saikyo Nin, Shinguji Kurono is a powerful swordsman who was once ranked third in the KOK world rankings. It is said that he became an A-level player when he was a student. He and Saikyo Nin have been good friends and rivals for many years.

Since Xijing Ningyin is a demon, then Shinguji Kurono should also be a demon, so why is it that now——
