Although Hodaka Masa gave Fang Zheng the impression of being a weak and introverted girl, she still mustered up her courage the next day and came to Fang Zheng and Julie's training ground early in the morning.
But she also had a tail.
"What are you doing here?"
Fang Zheng looked at Juba, who blushed slightly.
"I, I'm just worried that you might do something bad to Xiaoya! I have to watch you!"
"Oh, whatever you want. It doesn't matter."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and acted as if he didn't care. On the contrary, Tachibana stared at him with dissatisfaction. She was actually full of resentment in her heart. You know, before this, Hodaka Masa had been working hard to train herself, and Tachibana had always told her that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to improve. In fact, Hodaka Masa's efforts did produce results. From not being able to finish a marathon at the beginning to being able to finish it in two hours now, her progress can be said to be great, which also made Tachibana very happy.
In fact, as a partner, she certainly also hopes that Hodaka Masaharu can cheer up and fight with her.
However, the courage and confidence that Hodaka Masa had worked so hard to muster were completely shattered by Fang Zheng in the previous New Blade Battle. Although she obtained the Ceremony of Sublimation afterwards and successfully upgraded her Dawn Star Mark rank, in fact, many classmates in the class questioned whether she was qualified. Some even said that she got the qualification by clinging to Tachibana.
This certainly put a lot of pressure on Hodaka Masaharu. Perhaps because of this, after watching Fang Zheng's duel live broadcast, she suddenly changed her behavior and took the initiative to ask Fang Zheng to train her.
Although Juba had advised her, this time Hodaka Masaharu insisted on her decision, so Juba had no choice but to accompany her personally to prevent Fang Zheng from doing anything to her.
Fang Zheng certainly didn't care about what Ju Ba thought. He just glanced at him and then turned to look at Hodaka Masaharu.
"Do you know why I agreed to your request?"
"Why?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Hodaka Masa was stunned for a moment and shook her head.
"It's simple, because you are very self-aware, you know your shortcomings and want to overcome them, so I agreed to your request. After all, you are still self-aware."
"Weaknesses?"
Hearing this, Juba couldn't help it.
"I know Xiaoya's physical fitness is not very good, but she has been training very hard, and after the sublimation ceremony..."
"I'm talking, don't interrupt me. If you don't want to listen, get out of here and don't get in the way."
Fang Zheng glanced at Juba and spoke coldly. Being bullied by Fang Zheng, Juba's face suddenly turned red. She wanted to say something, but finally took a deep breath, forced herself to close her mouth, and stood aside.
"Self-awareness...?"
"Yes, what is your perception of yourself?"
"I……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Hodaka Masa lowered her head.
"I... don't have any special talents. Whether it's studying or sports, I can't do most things. So I've always hoped that I could do something well. At least one thing that's better than others and that I can be proud of."
At this point, Hodaka Masaharu's voice became a little low.
“So, when I learned that I had the aptitude, I was really happy. I originally thought that after having the Dawn Star Mark, I would change a lot, but in fact, I found that even with the Dawn Star Mark, I couldn’t change anything…”
“Xiaoya…”
Hearing this, Juba couldn't help but want to comfort him, but forced himself to keep his mouth shut, while Fang Zheng nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, this is your advantage. You see, you are actually very clear about this. You are a useless person."
"Why?"
In response to Fang Zheng's words, Hodaka Masa looked up in surprise, and Juba couldn't help it either.
"Wait, you're going too far..."
"Is it too much? That's the truth."
Fang Zheng didn't pay any attention to what Juba said.
"In fact, most people who lack self-confidence are like this. They are very clear about their own flaws and their own limitations, so they lose confidence. However, this is much better than those stupid and arrogant idiots who feel good about themselves even though they are ordinary. After all, many people do not have any special skills, but still believe for no reason that they have extraordinary powers."
Having said that, Fang Zheng looked at Juba meaningfully.
"Having a correct self-awareness is the first step to becoming stronger."
“…”
I don't know why, but Juba always felt that Fangzheng's words were mocking him.
"You have slow reactions, lack of physical strength, and slow speed, but these are not important. In fact, there are many weak animals in nature. For example, rabbits, deer, and antelopes are just prey for carnivores. But does this mean that when carnivores hunt them, they close their eyes and wait to die on the spot? Of course not. So, what is the reason?"
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"It's about their will and spirit. They won't just wait to die when faced with a powerful and irresistible opponent. The same is true for schools of fish in the sea. Even if they are chased by a giant killer whale, they will still try to escape the opponent's swallowing instead of waiting to die in despair."
Having said that, Fang Zheng stared at Hodaka Masaharu.
"Look, it's that simple. You also know where your problem lies. It's not physical, but mental. Have you heard the story of the rabbit kicking the eagle? Even if it's a natural enemy, the rabbit will still fight to the death, but what you lack now is the determination to fight to the death. So..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng took off his coat and clenched his fists.
"Come and get spanked."
"……Why??"
This time, not only Hodaka Masaharu, but even Tsuchiya and Julie widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Fang Zheng.
"What? What's the problem? If you want to learn how to fight, you must first learn how to be beaten. Just like learning how to receive a blow before learning martial arts. Is there a problem?"
"Is that the question?!"
“That’s the problem.”
Fang Zheng snorted and looked at Juba.
"You just protected her too well. I've said it before, you're looking for a partner, not a bodyguard. You're a partner, do you have to protect her forever? What if you get hurt one day? By that time, maybe three or five hooligans will be able to subdue her, and then strip her clothes right in front of you and then..."
"No, stop talking, I know, I know!!"
Before Fang Zheng could further describe the 800-word content in detail, Juba's face turned red and he screamed, while Hodaka Masaru next to him was so angry that steam was coming out of her head. Julie, on the other hand, looked at this and that in confusion, with a look of confusion on her face, not understanding what they were talking about.
In fact, Fang Zheng felt a little pity. He wanted to continue talking. People like Hodaka Masaharu who lack confidence are actually the easiest to deal with. When the time comes, the other party will first take her down by force, and then brainwash her, and then use her as bait to lure Juba into the trap. At that time, with Juba's personality, he will definitely choose to sacrifice himself and feed the tiger. Then, when she is in pain and torture, he will show her a short movie of Hodaka Masaharu's whole process to make her despair, and then the two sisters will return the bed together...
This will at least allow you to take an .MP4 of the upper and lower parts.
Considering the looks of these two people, they should be able to sell for quite a bit of money.
Never mind, there is no download now.
Fang Zheng shook his head, threw the image in his mind aside, then clenched his fists and waved to Hodaka Masa and Julie.
"You guys come together."
"Why?"
Hearing this, Hodaka Masa was stunned again, while Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"What are you daydreaming about? This is the content of Julie and I's training, except that she has to dodge my attacks, and you... don't have high requirements. Just prepare to be beaten. Don't worry, since you are a girl, I won't hit you in the face."
"No, I, this..."
However, before Hodaka Masaharu could finish her words, she saw Fang Zheng step forward and punch her directly in the stomach with his right fist!
"boom--!!"
The next moment, the girl was blown away.
“Wow!!”
Hodaka Masaharu, who was lying on the ground, let out a scream. Fang Zheng's punch directly hit her lower abdomen. The impact and pain even made Hodaka Masaharu feel as if her waist was broken.
On the other side, Julie had summoned her weapon, rushed towards Fang Zheng, and began to attack him. This was also their usual sparring method. Unlike Hodaka Masa, who was almost a rookie, Julie was already an intermediate and advanced player, with her own style. What she needed to accumulate now was experience, and this was what Fang Zheng could provide her with.
This is also the reason why Julie is willing to follow Fang Zheng obediently. Fang Zheng had asked her this question before, and Julie's answer at the time was that she wanted to become stronger. She saw Fang Zheng fighting during the entrance ceremony and thought he was very strong, so she wanted to learn from him, which is why she followed him.
That's why he took Julie to do this kind of training.
Of course, generally speaking, training with one person wouldn't be very effective, but Fang Zheng was a very capable person. He was proficient in all kinds of weapons and knew everything that had happened in history. So Julie would often face a situation that was completely beyond her expectations during a fight, and then be knocked down by Fang Zheng.
But she didn't complain, and would get up and continue training. In fact, this kind of training is also good for Julie. After all, the abilities of those who will participate in the Star Warrior Festival are different, and no one knows what will happen.
As for Hodaka Masaru...
"Get up and continue!"
"yes!!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Hodaka Masa wiped the corner of her mouth, stood up, and clenched her teeth.
For her, the test has just begun.
