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

In the empty and huge training ground.

Looking at Sieg lying on the floor with his arms and legs spread out, staring at the ceiling in a trance, Tina, who had just finished breakfast and came over to exercise to digest the food, kicked him: "It's rare to see you like this - what are you thinking about?"

"I'm just wondering how to handle this."

"Hmm? How to deal with it? Isn't it easy to deal with?" Tina frowned, "If you want to become stronger, just accept it. If you don't want to, just refuse. It's a very simple situation."

Simple?

According to Tina, this is indeed very simple, but -

"I don't really want to be pushed around." Sieg sighed. "Moon Shadow Fang, I think that's his name? He seems to want me to join that Akatsuki Academy no matter what. Although I don't quite understand it, I can tell intuitively that he definitely has other plans."

"So I really don't want to follow his ideas. I don't feel safe."

Sieg's goal is simply to stay alive.

Eliminate anything that will hinder your survival, and live entirely based on your own ideas and beliefs without being influenced or interfered with by others.

This is Sieg's only purpose.

To be honest, he had no complaints about his life in Pojun Academy. Although it was not as comfortable and peaceful as the time he spent running around the world in the past year, it was still comfortable and peaceful. In the first year, he would run around to get familiar with the world, and in the second year, he would find a place to live. Zig thought this arrangement was pretty good.

Regardless of what will happen after joining the National Akatsuki Academy, it is foreseeable that he will have to temporarily bid farewell to this comfortable life.

Of course, it was definitely not a bad thing to receive three months of one-on-one instruction from Edwards. This alone could even make up for all the negative influences. But when Zigg thought about having to follow other people's ideas and calculations, he felt depressed and uncomfortable.

The guy named Yueyingmoya looks kind, but who knows if he is a smiling tiger?

"..."

After listening to Sieg's sincere confession, Tina paused for a moment, then stepped directly on his face and rewarded Sieg severely!

The heel of the high-heeled shoe went directly into Ziggy's mouth.

"Well--!"

Grabbing Tina's ankles and pulling her feet out of his mouth, Zig glared at her, "What are you doing?"

"I'm just testing whether you are the idiot I know." Tina pulled her foot back. "Your face is not suitable for thinking too much. You can tell you are a fool just by looking at it. You have always been a wild boar who can only charge around with brute force. After living in a peaceful environment for a year, you start to learn to think by imitating others - do you have the brain for that?"

"...The insults are really harsh."

Crossing his legs, Sieg sighed slightly: "So what do you think I should do? Is it better to just accept it?"

"if not?"

"But that uncle——"

"Why not just kill him?" Tina interrupted Sieg. "Isn't this what you have been doing all along? No matter what you do, it's just for the idea that comes to your mind temporarily or that you have always had. And if it gets in your way, you will just kill it."

"Have you forgotten how you got into Hell Valley in the first place?"

How did you get into Hell Valley in the first place?

Of course Sieg didn't forget. At that time, he just wanted to enter the first level of Hell Valley to see the situation and practice Dragon Flash. Who would have thought that he would directly attract a superior dragon. Following the momentum, he made up his mind to "kill all those who hindered his survival."

Lower dragon, middle dragon...even upper dragon.

Even though his strength was far inferior to that of the upper dragon at that time, he did not think about other situations. If Brunhilde had not said that he could not defeat Tina no matter what, he would have rushed towards Tina at that time.

"There's no need to think about the consequences. Just do whatever you want to do. If something happens, just let your temper run wild. I don't understand why you would start using your brain."

Tina said as she squatted down on the spot.

Although a lot of entertainment facilities have been added to the Kreinsheed over the past year to help her relieve boredom, and Sieg and Tina's rooms have been equipped with the most advanced computers and all the electronic games on the planet have been downloaded, Tina still prefers to spend time in the training room.

Looking at Tina's plump thighs constantly moving up and down, Sieg fell into deep thought.

From his own perspective, training with the world's strongest swordsman for three months would undoubtedly allow him to grow by leaps and bounds, and he might even get a chance to complete his [Dragon Transformation]. But Sieg was basically certain that once he joined the National Akatsuki Academy, he would inevitably get involved in some troublesome things.

The worst case scenario...what the National Akatsuki Academy wants to do is completely opposite to what he wants to do. Then Sieg can be sure that he will go directly against everyone in Akatsuki Academy, and he doesn't want to do something he doesn't want to do.

But this also means that there is a possibility of a head-on confrontation with [Bi Yi], and Sieg has no chance of winning by himself.

".....Ms. Tina, do you think you can beat Biyi?"

"Who knows? What's the matter?"

"I was just thinking, if I have to fight Biyi later, I think I will have to rely on your strength no matter what."

"Humph!"

Tina snorted coldly: "Although I hate you very much, but I also said that in these ten years... No, now there are only nine years left. In these nine years, I will be your companion. If you encounter troubles, I will help you. As for whether I can beat you or not - you knew that you were no match for my king, but didn’t you still raise your sword to my king in the end?"

indeed.

Thinking is not what Zig is supposed to do.

What he should do is simple, that is to follow his heart. Since he wants to learn swordsmanship from Biyi, then he should learn from her. If he wants to join the Akatsuki Academy, then he should join. He doesn't need to consider Yueying Moya's plan at all.

If it is a plan that has no impact on you, then you don't have to worry about it. If it is a plan that is disadvantageous to you or disgusts you, then you can just follow your own temper and resist according to your own ideas. And if your own strength is not enough -

Clinshid, dragon-killing system.

Miss Brunhilde, Miss Em, Miss Tina.

These are the people he can rely on.

"Thank you, Ms. Tina."

"Crack!"

In response to Zieg's thanks, Tina kicked him with great force: "Don't give me that! Get up when you're okay. I haven't beaten you in a while. My hands are itching - untie me 50%."

"Fifty percent? You want me to die?"

"You're talking as if you've never died, or are you not used to it after not being so open with your heart for a while?"

"how could be?"

Sieg smiled and untied the power restriction imposed on Tina, restoring her to 50% of her strength. At the same time, he clenched the silver sword in his hand and said, "When it comes to training, Miss Tina's training is still strong enough. The training of Pojun Academy is still too slow."

"Go for it with all your strength. I'm fine for the whole day."

"it is good!"

【Three hundred times gravity】

The moment Tina finished speaking, the terrifying gravity instantly descended upon Sieg!

The familiar feeling made Sieg's mouth curl up subconsciously. Even though all the bones in his body began to creak and he was pressed down, Sieg still raised the silver sword.

(That’s the way it should be!)

“Puff——!”

Before Sieg could unleash his Dragon Flash, a punch wrapped in gravity smashed right through his chest!

Starting with this blow, Sieg and Tina once again began their daily routine that they had repeated countless times - a daily routine filled with broken limbs and splattered blood that only Tina could accompany Sieg to complete.

62. To lose weight

The next day.

In the underground area of ​​the National Akatsuki Academy.

"I didn't expect you to decide so quickly."

Looking at Sieg who had been re-transmitted back via the Clinshid and had given his answer, Edwards looked a little surprised: "You obviously have a whole week to think about it. There's no need to rush."

"One day is enough." Sieg said, "Because I am not good at thinking, I will only do what I think and want. As for what will happen after this, we will talk about it when the time comes. What I want to do now is to learn sword from you."

“This is what I have to do in order to survive.”

To survive?

Edwards put down the coffee in his hand that he had added four tablespoons of sugar to: "It seems that your reasons for wanting to become stronger are slightly different from Ouma's. Even if we are of the same kind, we have different reasons for taking the same path."

"Is that so?" Sieg looked at Kurogane Ouma, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground not far away, looking like he was meditating. "Aren't you trying to become stronger in order to survive?"

"No."

Kurogane Ouma opened his eyes and said, "I just simply want to be the strongest."

Just like wanting to become a professional player just because you are a little better at playing soccer than your peers, or wanting to become a painter just because you are a little better at drawing... Kurogane Ouma has the same idea. He just wants to be the best and the strongest because he has been a little better than others since he was a child.

In terms of the level of desire, this is just like the wish of a simple child everywhere, but Kurogane Ouma is willing to gamble his entire life and dignity for it.

"Is it all you have to do to survive?"

"After all, I've had a hard life since I was a child." Sieg smiled bitterly, "My father and mother passed away very early, and the two guardians who took me in also died early. I have been living alone in the wild since I was 11 years old. As long as I can live in a stable environment, I will be satisfied."

"Then why don't you just find a place in the countryside to live in seclusion?"

Kurogane Ouma's question only made Sieg shake his head: "I would like to, but unfortunately, there are too many people who can kill me, and there are also many people who will prevent me from living a good life, so it's useless even if I live in seclusion."

"I will kill everyone who stands in my way and gain the power to survive anyone - only if I have the power to survive any enemy, any situation, can I truly [survive]."

【Whimsical】

When Sieg finished speaking, Kurogane Ouma had this thought, because what Sieg said was too difficult to achieve. After all, he was just a human being, a living being. In addition to the obvious factor of lifespan limit, there were many factors that could lead to his death.

even--

"If one day this world is to be destroyed by a falling star, do you intend to shatter that star as well?"

"What else?" Sieg said seriously, "Even though there is the option of running away, I can only escape temporarily, not forever. If I don't want to be crushed by the falling stars, I must obtain the power to crush the stars before then - that way I can live in peace."

"......snort."

After a moment's silence, Kurotetone Ouma just snorted coldly and then closed his eyes again.

Edwards, who was listening to the conversation, also smiled and said, "I see, this is your wish. Well, it's a very good wish. I like this kind of simple and pure wish."

"You, too?"

"Well, I guess so. The reason why I embarked on the path of swordsmanship was not because I had a strong desire for strength. In the beginning, I just wanted to lose weight."

"Oh, losing weight.......huh?!"

Sieg was a little slow to react, and at the same time, Kurogane Ouma's eyes widened instantly!

What did she just say?

The world's strongest swordsman, the reason she learned swordsmanship... was to lose weight?!

Sieg immediately glanced up and down at Edwards' figure - it was indeed a very slender and healthy female body, without any excess fat. Although not as full and thick as Stella's, it was definitely a figure that best met the general definition of a "beauty"!

Is there any part of her body that needs to lose weight?!

"My gaze is a bit rude, Sieg." Edwards turned his body slightly to avoid being looked at directly by Sieg. "Of course I have lost weight now, but when I was a child, I loved to eat sweets, so I was a little bit overweight... At that time, there happened to be a swordsmanship teacher from Japan near my house, so my parents asked me to sign up."

"At that time, I never thought that I would have the strength I have today, nor did I expect that I would have such extraordinary talents."

This is definitely a secret that no one has ever heard.

If a third person who was not present heard this, he would definitely think it was groundless, fabricated nonsense, but these words actually came from Edwards himself!

Kurogane Ouma no longer had the calmness to maintain his meditation and contemplation, and Sieg's face looked a little tense.

"Okay, let's get back to business. Sieg."

The gentle voice of Edwards brought Ziggy back to his senses.

"Since you are willing to accept the conditions we have proposed, I will be your teacher for three months starting from today. I will start from the basics and teach you my swordsmanship as much as possible bit by bit. How much you can learn depends entirely on your own ability."

"Also, regarding your joining the National Akatsuki Academy, please discuss this with the Akatsuki Academy's chairman."

As Edwards finished speaking, the student handbook in Zigg's pocket rang with an incoming call.

Sieg took it out and connected it——

[It's me, Sieg-san. I haven't seen you for two days.]

"...It's you, Moon Shadow Fang." Sieg said in a deep voice, "Am I doing what you wish for?"

[Hehe, don't say that. I was surprised myself. After all, I was ready to be rejected by you, but I was really surprised that you made a decision after only one day. I am very grateful that you are willing to accept my invitation. I also believe that with your help, the future of this country will be saved.]

"Forget about the boring stuff, let's get straight to business - I agree to transfer to National Akatsuki Academy, what do I need to do specifically?"

You don’t need to do anything
