For the girl, she originally liked the early morning very much.

Watching the sun rise from the other side of the horizon, the dazzling light tore through the darkness and covered the land again. This made her feel a sense of joy as if the world was reborn.

But now, Shana was in no such mood at all.

No, it should be said that no one would be in a good mood if they were thrown into a cold quagmire early in the morning.

"Stand up and look at me."

Looking at Shana lying on the ground, Fang Zheng's expression did not change at all.

"Remember, fighting is different from fighting. You need to make calculations and trade-offs in the process. This does not refer to the battle itself. It refers to the issues that need to be considered before the battle, so as to decide your own actions. It is wrong for a lion to fight a rabbit with all his strength, because if you really do this, who knows if you will step on a poisonous snake coiled in the grass because of exhaustion. Remember, the goal and purpose of the battle should be the last thing to choose the means!"

This was the combat experience Fang Zheng had learned from Stone and Rex in the main world, and now, he taught it all to the girl in front of him.

"Is it an enemy that must be defeated? Is it a target that must be eliminated at all costs? Or is it an enemy that can be temporarily let go and dealt with later? You need to judge the strength of both sides through fighting, and then make a decision."

Shana was very strong, but in Fang Zheng's opinion, her strength was limited to fighting. Although when they were fighting, the girl liked to show her strength through uninterrupted continuous attacks, but this was meaningless to Fang Zheng who was a mage.

If we use an analogy, then Shana is like Lu Bu, who is brave and unparalleled, and can fight his way in and out of the army. But what's the use? Overall, it is still her failure, and this failure cannot be reversed by human power. This is what Shana is like now. She only focuses on finding advantages in the battle itself, but ignores the overall situation, so she is played around by Fang Zheng.

“Ooooo…!”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Shana turned over and stood up. Then she tightened the blade in her hand again and stared at Fang Zheng.

"Fighting is the same as war. You need to know what the enemy's goal is, and then prevent the enemy from achieving it, so as to achieve your own goal. For example..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised the Sky-Breaking Sword in his hand again.

"You can guess whether my next attack will be magic or I will just rush over and chop you with my sword. I'll give you three seconds to choose."

It's an attack!

As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, Shana immediately took a defensive posture. She had great confidence in the blade in her hand, because just now, with the help of this sharp blade, Shana successfully broke the magic missile released by Fang Zheng. This made Shana very confident at the moment. She was sure that the opponent's wonderful spell would also be destroyed by the blade in her hand. Then, the opponent's actions were very clear.

However, what Shana did not expect was that the first thing that caught her eyes was a dazzling white light.

“Ouch!!”

Faced with the sudden dazzling light, Shana instinctively closed her eyes, and at this moment, she suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

not good!!

"clang!!"

However, before Shana could react, there was a violent impact on the sword in her hand. Under this powerful attack, the sword in Shana's hand suddenly flew out of her hand, and she flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. Then, the girl felt the cold blade against her neck.

"Wrong answer. Not only did I cast a flash spell, but I also gave you a sword."

"You, that's not what you just said!"

Shana opened her eyes unwillingly, but everything in front of her was still blurry, and she could only vaguely see a figure.

"Yes, that's not what I said just now, but... why don't you think about it?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng put away his sword and shrugged his shoulders.

"Remember, I am your enemy now, and I gave you a choice. So use your brain carefully. Why do you have to do what the enemy says? The enemy only told you to go east or west, but you didn't use your brain to look north and south? I gave you a choice and you chose it. I can easily kill a dozen such obedient enemies."

“Woo…”

Facing Fang Zheng's words, Shana bit her lower lip and was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, that's enough for today."

Looking at the girl with her head and face covered in mud, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and then put away the Broken Sky Sword.

"Go back and take a shower, then come and have breakfast."

"I don't need to go through so much trouble. I can just use the purifying flame to purify it..."

"no."

However, before Shana could finish her words, Fang Zheng interrupted her.

"This is what I ask of you as the winner. As the loser, you have no choice but to obey. Go and take a shower. While you're taking a shower, you can also think about how you lost and reflect on yourself. There's no harm in using your brain more."

"All right……"

When Shana heard Fang Zheng's words, she blushed and snorted, then stood up and walked towards the apartment building without looking back.

Give someone a slap and then give them a date. This tactic has always worked.

After the two sides reached a deal, Shana lived in the room next to Fangzheng Apartment as "Hirai Yuen". Since Hirai Yuen's family had been eaten by the Red World, no one cared about it. In the eyes of outsiders, maybe Hirai Yuen had always lived here and there was no change at all.

Originally, Fang Zheng proposed to train after school, but perhaps to retaliate and tease Fang Zheng, Shana deliberately chose the early morning to disturb his sweet dreams, and acted as if she was justified in saying "early to bed and early to get up makes you healthy".

So don’t blame Fang Zheng for being cruel and ruthless.

After all, being grumpy when waking up is a very serious thing.

“Clatter…”

The warm water rushed towards her, washing away the mud and water on her body. Feeling this refreshing feeling, Shana took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

That’s amazing.

Although she did want to tease him at the beginning, after a few days of teaching, Shana had to admit that Fang Zheng was much more powerful than she had imagined. When she was in Tiandao Palace, she had received countless rigorous training, but at that time, in Shana's view, fighting was just fighting, nothing more. As long as she focused on fighting, she would be able to win.

But here at Fang Zheng, she discovered a whole new world.

Battle is not just a clash of weapons, but also a battle of ideas.

And just now, she experienced this once again.

"Alastor."

"What is it? Shana?"

Hearing Shana's cry, the pendant outside the shower room asked.

"What do you think of...Fang Zheng?"

“Very impressive.”

Faced with the inquiry, the Demon King of the Red World gave an affirmative answer.

"If I only thought he was strong before, now I have to take back my opinion. It's not just about strength. That man can be considered a strong man in any aspect."

"...Compared to Wilhelmina?"

Unconsciously, the girl compared the man with the teacher who raised her. Although she had a vague answer in her heart, she was not sure.

“…”

Erastoel was silent for a long time before giving an answer.

"She's worked really hard as a nurturer."

This time, Shana said nothing.

The following time was the same as usual. Shana and Fang Zheng went to school together. Perhaps because of Fang Zheng's influence, Shana was no longer as rude to other teachers as she was at the beginning. But once there was something wrong, Shana would correct it immediately. And the teacher's reaction to Shana gradually changed. At first, she just regarded her as a troublemaker, but soon began to ask her for advice. After all, teachers are also ordinary people. Although it is not acceptable to ask students for advice, they will not miss the opportunity to improve themselves. Because of this, the atmosphere in Fang Zheng's class has become much more harmonious.

And after school...both parties returned to the open space on the river bank in front of the apartment.

However, this time the identities were reversed. Fang Zheng began to learn how to manipulate and use the seal as a student, while Shana became a teacher.

But……

"Can't you be more clear?"

Fang Zheng put his hand down helplessly and looked at the girl standing not far from him.

"What do you mean by closing your eyes and feeling the flow, and then releasing it with a 'boom'... Do you think of this as a bomb?"

“It’s so noisy, so noisy, so noisy!!”

Hearing Fang Zheng's complaint, Shana's face turned red and she immediately stomped her feet and screamed.

"It's your own poor understanding that's the problem. It's not my fault!"

"...Mr. Alastor?"

“… Ugh… cough cough…”

Perhaps he did not expect that his contractor was so useless, which caused the Demon God of the Red World to become a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, for us, the Red World Demon King, manipulating the power of existence is an innate talent. Even if you want me to explain it, I don't know how to explain it for the moment. Moreover, the 'nature' of the power of existence varies from person to person. The nature of the 'power of existence' displayed by each person is different, and the expression method is also different..."

It’s similar to the power of the stars.

Hearing this, Fang Zheng couldn't help but think of the power of the main world. According to Shi Dong, everyone has different characteristics, so the direction of the power of the stars is also different.

Could it be that these two are the same thing, just called differently?

Why not give it a try?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng was also immediately tempted. When he used the power of the stars in the main world, he only used it to release magic. Other skills basically relied on the power of the soul stone. So Fang Zheng didn't know much about it, but now... Anyway, I won't get pregnant if I try, right?

"Forget it...let me take a look first."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng closed his eyes.

According to Shana, first feel the flow of power... This is not difficult. Fang Zheng can feel that his power is flowing in his body like a calm river. This is his star power, and it also represents the true nature of Fang Zheng's star position.

Then, feel the power and resonate with the vibrations of this world.

“Knock, knock… knock, knock…”

Faintly, Fang Zheng did feel a certain presence, as if his own heartbeat and a louder one were about to overlap, stabilize, and form the same wave. Then...

The time is now!

Fang Zheng opened his eyes and looked forward.

"Seal it."

The next moment, the world changed.
