Well. Xero hadn't imagined that he would announce the news that quickly. In this age, there were plenty of flashy marriages, but who knew love affairs would follow?
He felt that it was probably because Ancient Relic hadn't experienced love for so long, once he had fallen into the river he couldn't pull himself out.
It was very obvious that Ancient Relic's moment had arrived.
On the other hand, Han Jue had entered a prickly phase…
Mr Birdie wasn't just any ordinary budgie like parrot, that was known. It wasn't just reflected in its unique abilities, but also being born from multiple bloodlines. But the fact is… Mr Birdie can in fact transform. It's just that its timer is limited, so he can be human for a limited time due to magical force flow. Safe to say, it was going to teach Han Jue a f**king lesson.
S*x dungeon? That could follow.
Especially when he saw that empty patch on its belly that it was unanimously designing… the result of that f**king fortune telling!
From afar, Xero could sense the anger boiling inside the parrot. He could even hear its thoughts! Whip, handcuffs, a f**king dildo…
Sss ! — Just three simple nouns, but they were something more than that.
He had never thought a bird could play those type of games.
An Ancient Relic in love was more approachable and easy-going, and it should have been a normal spirit sword training. But with Mr Birdie's cold magnetic pressure… Han Jue couldn't help but shudder.
The moral of this story was, if you were a snobbish dick, the consensus would be on you. If you want to show off in front of people and bare bird wax behind the scenes… Xero felt that his "lead a low-key life" philosophy was pointed on him nicely by Father and Mother Zhang.
For Xero, this spirit sword training regimen was boring in his eyes. What Ancient Relic was teaching them, was a basic spirit sword training.
In theory and scientific research, if you reached Foundation Establishment, you could technically fly on a sword without problem. However, Yunzhou nation has made ancient advanced flying sword lessons university level as of this age.
What most Foundation Establishment schools teach is just basic maintenance and fundamentals of a spirit sword.
As students of the advanced class, they will obviously delve a little deeper into the contents and learn advanced sword skills and cultivation methods. But, these lessons were not in the slightest bit difficult for Xero.
A so-called master, had a sword, not in his hand, but in his brain or imagination and with it; could cut entire mountains and stars with higher levels of magical pressure. The most highest realm of swordsmanship had long faded in ancient history — and most people thought it was just legend. But, without the dimensional seal and talisman's restraining force, Xero could theoretically slice the entire sky in half.
The basics for flying a sword mainly consisted of controlling the force pressure by drawing a star in the air. With his strength tremendously pulled back, Xero carefully controlled his heavenly wooden sword afraid he would accidentally slice the entire gymnasium in perfect half.
Thankfully, in the ranking system Ancient Relic presented, Xero ranked fifth of the students proficiency in flying a sword.
Xero was real satisfied with his ranking.
The person who ranked last was Xinyan. To begin with, elemental swords were real hard to control than a normal sword. And it required a higher level of swordsmanship. Additionally, she had previously gotten the genders of her elemental swords wrong, which limited the support between them.
"Hmm… We won't get anywhere if this keeps up." Ancient Relic sighed, shaking his head.
Ancient Relic in love was unusual in sense, but he wasn't idle when collecting information on the previous exchange meet between No. 89 High and 88.
The students' levels in maintaining and wielding spirit swords differed significantly.
But No. 90 High had an advantage. Because Misaki's Stardust Sunder had already summoned a spirit. To quote a itai saying, in all of these schools, a high school student that had successfully bred a sword spirit was rare and feared throughout…
But, the sword spirit exchange was team based and employed a team grading system. If No. 90 High wanted to emerge with victory, apart from Zhen Jie and Misaki, the two best in the team currently; the other three had to at least make sure to reach the minimum score level or higher — it would take only one person holding them back that would cause bad results.
Worth mentioning, is that although Xero ranked fifth, his score was actually above average. Which Ancient Relic felt was wondrous. For some reason, he felt that the person who scored fifty-five points was more worth than someone who scored full…
For now, it looked like Xinyan was holding them back. Her score was upsetting. Currently, the city-wide average score in proficiency was fifty points. But Xinyan hadn't even reached the passing score.
But, Ancient Relic, was in fact, Ancient Relic. Headmaster Huang wouldn't have just sent this fatass for no reason. And even he eats dougan whilst teaching, his prowess is beyond that.
After, the other students left the gym except for Xinyan. There was still one and a half hours left until dinner time, which was supposed to be free time. Xinyan had to stay due to extra training.
"Teacher… I don't know if I can do it…" This mangaka was real upset, her head hanging low. She felt that learning and flying a sword was the second most painful thing in her life.
Girls were soft hearted, so Ancient Relic naturally gave them face. If it was Teacher Shuang handling the situation, she would have long broke into cursing, becoming resentful that a student didn't live up to expectations. And she would use various ways to stimulate that.
Fortunately, teachers had their own teaching style.
This method of chastising students in order to make them spur into action did not suit Ancient Relic's gentle style at all. This was Ancient Relic in love, it was less likely he would criticize a schoolgirl for this disappointment in studies.
Compared with Teacher Shuang, Ancient Relic's way of encouragement was not to be missed.
Furthermore, he was real good at applying fix to any situation.
Flying a pair of twin swords was difficult than flying a normal one, but the principle never differed. One just needed to memorize the basic formulas. For students of class advanced, memorizing was never hard for them, especially for Xinyan who was a top student alongside Lianhua.
Hence, Ancient Relic felt that it wasn't that Xinyan couldn't learn, but that she wasn't "absorbing" or understanding the lesson. He could also see that she was real sad.
Actually, she was collecting her favorite manga volumes when she had suddenly lost some of them. However, Ancient Relic didn't know about this and could only judge based on his observations.
Well, investigating a student's private hobbies was actually real pervert behavior.
In this case, he just needed to do the right thing for the student in question.
And so, Ancient Relic opened his palm and spirit light suddenly glowed and formed into a popular manga volume that was bought from Xinhua. And he gave it to Xinyan, "I hope you will like this. I prepared it just for you. The names of the protagonists are very similar to your twin sword spirits."
With curiosity, Xinyan looked at the book cover with two elegant looking words: Dark Conjuror.
…
Before the spirit sword training and encouragement speech, Ancient Relic wrote down and prepared gifts for each student as emergency initiative.
For Misaki, he had prepared a list of Xero's favorite snacks…
For Zhen Jie, he prepared a spirit dumbbell that could change its weight with moderation and gravity…
For Han Jue, he had prepared a little book filled with tremendous detail of gossip…
For Xero, he had prepared a packet of the newly released strawberry, orange mix deluxe custard bun snack…
