Chapter 483: Why am I feeling a little scared?
The town of Suizhi in the early morning was not as lively as yesterday, and seemed a little cold.
Because it was not yet fully light, there were no tourists or even residents on the streets. Only some people who were preparing to open shops for business were already moving goods or making preparations for the molding of products early in the morning, which allowed some lights to shine in the shops on the street, dispelling a lot of the darkness.
Aize, wearing sportswear, ran here. Although his speed was not fast, it was definitely not slow.
"How are you going to run, Master?"
Cong Yu was floating behind Aize like a ghost, following him closely. Seeing Aize running at a fast speed, she immediately asked.
"Well... let's run around the entire Hoori a few times first."
Aize breathed evenly, maintaining a good pace, and his movements were smooth, making people feel pleasing even when watching from the side.
"The final stop is set at Budokan."
Although Aize hasn't returned to Suizhi Town for several years, it is a place where he has stayed for quite a while since he was a child and he has trained here before, so he naturally won't run around aimlessly.
"Martial Arts Hall?" Cong Yu was startled at first, then suddenly realized, "You mean Umao College?"
Yumao College, as the name suggests, is a school.
It originally existed as a martial arts hall and was once used by the residents of Hoori as a kendo dojo. However, as Hoori became a tourist destination and times evolved, kendo gradually fell out of favor in Hoori and the place became neglected.
Later, the town decided to convert the martial arts hall into a school, and Umebo Academy was born.
However, Aize is still more accustomed to calling the place a martial arts hall, because Kurama Genjuro trained Aize, Rentaro and others there when they were young, and Aize also practiced kendo there, so he is quite familiar with the place.
"My grandfather used to make us get up at this time and go outside for some morning jogging and other exercises, ending at the Budokan, where we would learn how to swing a bamboo sword."
As Aize ran, he told Cong Yu about the past.
"According to grandpa, this kind of morning jog is considered a warm-up before kendo training, which makes Rentaro complain a lot."
After all, what better way to warm up than running laps around the entire town of Hoori?
Not to mention children, even adults would be exhausted after running this distance. But Kurama Genjuro said that this was just a warm-up. How was it possible that no one complained?
Aize complained about it many times when he was a child, but after getting used to it, he actually regarded this kind of morning jogging as a warm-up.
"As expected of Xuan Juro, his requirements are strict." Cong Yu said with some admiration: "The master is also amazing. He actually persisted under such strict requirements."
"Because I'm quite interested in kendo." Aize smiled and said, "No, I should say that I'm very interested in how to use all weapons and tools, right?"
Aize, who was gifted in this area, had to work hard when he was a child, just to find out what the limit of his unreasonable talent was.
Therefore, whether it is kendo, spearmanship, or even gun fighting techniques that only appear in novels, Aize has tried them all. Otherwise, he would not be interested in even the kitchen knives and would not even want to go to the slaughterhouse to kill pigs and cows.
Everything in his life was ordinary, as if he had just traveled to another ordinary world. He did not become smarter, nor did his academic performance improve dramatically, nor did he have the talent to do business and make money. He became a billionaire directly after traveling through time, and even his martial arts were mediocre. He did not become a martial arts master or a master of traditional Chinese arts.
But when it comes to skills that require the use of weapons and various tools, Aize is almost like a cheat. Even if he knows nothing and understands nothing beforehand, he can quickly grasp the essentials after getting started. He can even wield weapons as if instinctively when his mind is empty, and his combat effectiveness is exaggerated.
The reason why he performed best in kendo was because of the hands-on teaching of Genjuro Kurama, so that Aize's kendo skills increased rapidly. In other aspects, he was mostly self-taught. Although it was equally exaggerated compared to others, it was still slightly inferior to those who had been taught kendo by a kendo master since childhood.
With such a magical thing happening to him, Aize was naturally extremely curious and interested in any weapons and tools. If given the chance, he would either teach himself or find ways to let others teach him. That’s how he became what he is today.
However, in order to display these skills perfectly, it is not enough to have the corresponding talents and abilities, but also a strong body is required.
Just like kendo, you can play it if you don’t have good physical fitness, but you will get tired after a few tries. How can you have fun playing it?
The prerequisite for learning and using any sport, any skill, or any technique well is to have enough physical strength to exert it. Otherwise, even if you master it, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.
So, although he was very tired and wanted to complain, and even thought about stopping and giving up more than once, every time Aize touched a real sword, a real gun, a real axe, or even a wooden sword or a branch, he wanted to show off his skills and couldn't help but wave them around. Aize gritted his teeth and persevered.
So, this persistence lasted for more than ten years.
Aize has insisted on jogging and exercising every morning for ten years. He cannot say that his physical fitness is comparable to that of a superman, but his sports performance in school has always been overwhelmingly high. Even teachers and some professional coaches are no match for him.
He has also been noticed by some sports colleges and universities because of this. He was recruited by some sports colleges when he was in high school. Now he is only a sophomore in high school, not even a senior, but many sports colleges have claimed that they want to admit him in advance. Even the national team seems to have paid attention to him.
Nowadays, internationally, the world record for the men's 100-meter sprint is still 9.58 seconds, and Aize's best record for the 100-meter sprint so far is 9.89 seconds.
How could a high school sophomore who has such physical fitness through daily exercise not attract attention?
All I can say is that Aize has worked hard for his own interests.
If not for this, he might still be the same as in his previous life, and just a low-level laborer until he entered society?
"I didn't know there was a child as hard-working as the master in Suizhili." Cong Yu said with emotion: "My impression of the master when he was a child was that he just ran around behind Luhua all day long."
"...That's not my fault. My mom always pushed me to play with Sister Luhua." Aize's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but said, "By the way, little Congyu, have you seen me when I was a child?"
"Isn't that natural?" Cong Yu raised his head and chest, and said proudly: "I have watched the entire Suizhi people grow up, including the master."
"It's just that even I don't often hang out outside this early, so although I have an impression of you, Master, I didn't know that you have been such a hard-working person since you were a child."
"When I think about how my master used to get up so early every day when he was a child, and how he kept exercising and practicing swordsmanship, I feel like I missed out on a lot of wonderful things."
Cong Yu seemed to be really regretful.
However, she soon cheered up again.
"But it doesn't matter. I will train with my master in the future and become stronger together!"
No, we are not training to become stronger now, it is just a habit...
Aize's purpose of exercising now has changed from improving his physical fitness to preventing his physical fitness from declining and becoming rusty.
After all, he is just a human being. No matter how much training he does, he can never surpass human limits and become a superman.
Therefore, Aize did not have high requirements for his physical fitness. As long as it was enough for him to squander and to toss around, it would be enough. He did not think about training himself to become something extraordinary.
Perhaps, it is because of this that although he has been exercising since he was a child, his physique has not become exaggerated.
He is a relatively lean type. He looks thin when he is dressed and has muscles when he is undressed. His muscle lines are in golden ratio and he does not look like a muscular man at all. The only thing is that his hands have a lot of calluses, which do not look like the hands of a high school boy.
However, he has eight abdominal muscles, which Cong Yu had already seen when he was changing clothes in the morning.
At that time, Cong Yu screamed with her face flushed and ears red, and unconsciously opened her hands that were covering her eyes. She looked like she was about to drool, which made Aize speechless.
"Can you get up so early every day?"
That’s what Aize said for now.
"Master, have you forgotten? We are not human beings! We don't need to sleep at all!"
Cong Yu's words left Aize speechless.
Recalling the scene when he opened his eyes in the morning, this lovely girl appeared above his head and talked to him. Aize didn't think too much about it before, but now he thinks that this girl may have been floating above his head, watching him sleep?
...Why am I a little scared?
"...Master, are you thinking of something particularly rude again?"
"No, you're overthinking it."
"Please look me in the eye when you speak."
“………”
"Ah! Moved it away! Moved it away again with a guilty conscience!"
"It hurts! Stop biting my head!"
The two of them started playing and fighting along the way, causing people who happened to pass by to look at Aize strangely.
In their opinion, Aize was just performing a one-man show there, and they had no idea that he was playing around with Cong Yu, right?
Fortunately, no tourists saw this scene, otherwise some bad rumors would definitely spread.
Don't forget that Suizhi is also a cursed town, an ominous place that many people consider to be possessed by dog spirits...
…………
It was a morning run. Aize ran from the dawn until the day had completely arrived, and only then was he considered finished.
The main thing was that he was not in a hurry and was jogging the whole time, so it naturally took him a little longer.
When I ran to the terminal, which was Umao College, it was still deserted and there was basically no one around.
Because it is still holiday, the school is on vacation and the school term has not started yet, so there is no one here.
Aize took a walk around here and got familiar with the place.
Asatake Yasuharu had already told him that after he transferred here, the college he would attend would be this Umebo College.
Yoshino Asatake is currently studying here, and even the brothers and sisters of the Kurama family are studying here. Roka Matsuniwa also studied here before, but she has graduated now. She did not choose to go to college, but instead ran her own dessert shop and became a glorious member of society.
Aize walked around the school where he would be studying in the future for a few times before returning to Kenshi Shrine.
When he came back, Aize happened to run into Chao Wu Anqing who was sweeping the floor.
"Hey, Aijun, you're back?"
Looking at Aize jogging towards him in sportswear, he smiled at Wu Anqing with narrowed eyes and greeted her.
"Good morning, Mr. An Qing." Aize smiled back and said, "Are you up already?"
"Yes, I usually get up early. After all, I need to clean the shrine grounds and prepare for the shrine's work." Chaowu Yasuharu said gently: "Yoshino is still sleeping, but she should be waking up soon."
"Breakfast will be available in a little while, you can go take a shower first."
"By the way, I'll introduce someone to you later. If you need to go out for something, remember to tell me first."
Chao Wu Anqing gave Aize caring instructions, as if he really regarded Aize as his future son-in-law and the future successor of the shrine.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Aize nodded in agreement.
"Then I will go for a walk for now and come back for breakfast."
Seeing this, Cong Yu prepared to run away.
My master is about to take a shower, so I can’t continue to follow him, right?
Although she is no longer a human being, she considers herself a girl with a sense of shame, and there is no way she can follow her master into the bathroom openly.
So, Cong Yu slipped away very quickly.
Aize didn't care. After saying hello to Wu Anqing, he went in and prepared to take a shower in the bathroom.
As luck would have it, when Aize passed by the living room and was about to enter the bathroom, the sliding door of the living room was opened.
"Good morning~"
Accompanied by a soft and lazy greeting, a girl in pajamas staggered in, looking as if she had not yet woken up.
That defenseless look made Aize stop involuntarily.
"……Good morning."
After thinking about it, Aize replied to the other party to show politeness.
"...Mr. Aize?"
But when Aize greeted her back, Asatake Yoshino, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly woke up.
The two of them stood in the living room looking at each other in silence.
“Bang!”
After a while, Asatake Yoshino suddenly slapped herself hard on the face.
"it hurts……"
Tears instantly flowed out of the girl's eyes uncontrollably.
