Perspective: Bai Yueguang

Ever since Fir agreed to become a teacher, we were also invited to be teachers. How should I put it, although the principal mentioned wanting students to learn martial arts from the Eastern Continent, it basically just means one person is chosen daily during combat class. Of course, I also guide them on what techniques to pay attention to and the flaws that might appear in these techniques. However, I can't help but feel that the overall level of my class is quite high, but there aren't many suitable for practicing knife techniques. Most of them prefer rigid swordsmanship. This is understandable; after all, on the Western Continent, knighthood is the traditional occupation.

Heh, I just treat them as good opponents for group battles every day, preparing for the future, I suppose. However, I heard that Fir's class was having an internal simulated battle. During the break, I took a peek, and indeed, just like Fir, it was full of all sorts of oddities — some using props, some using potions, and there was even someone using chess pieces. Young ones, will you risk everything in one throw? Will you spend a fortune at once? Was Fir's previous teacher from a wealthy family?

Well, it's better not to dwell on such matters. It's best to pass the time before the activity begins. "Let's go out and relax…"

Just as I was thinking of whether to take a stroll outside the academy, I ran into Xia Hei and Xiao Xi, who had just finished class as well.

"Bai, are you bored too?"

Xia Hei is in charge of the archery class, where practical lessons basically involve watching students shoot targets, all kinds of targets, stationary and moving ones, so it's no wonder she's bored.

This feeling is probably like a high-level character watching a newbie grind monsters, I can understand, I can understand.

"Yeah, I came to see Fir's class. It's indeed the most interesting."

"Hmph, but look at him, frazzled every day. It shows that even if it's fun, it's not an easy task. Bai, are you free later?"

"I should be free. I've instructed my students, and they are all self-studying now."

Self-study during practical lessons naturally involves sparring, and of course I've prepared enchantments in case of accidental injuries.

Automated combat enchantments are just great, thanks to technological advancements.

"Great, Xiao Xi should be fine too. It's the start of our trio now."

"Hey, that wording is inappropriate…"

I always feel like some mysterious organization starting with the letter 'F' will drag us away and burn us.

And what's with Taishi Xi's 'look at this kid' expression on your face?

"In the eyes of others, we're at most three sisters."

Xiao Xi said calmly, a statement that irritated me, and I was already getting frustrated.

"Who said we're sisters!"

I responded with a wry smile.

"Hahaha!"

Just because of that statement, Xia Hei nearly laughed herself silly.

But she does look cute when she laughs.

"It's your own fault for not changing your image."

"Uh…"

Xiao Xi is still picking a fight with me as usual. Yeah, I hate you.

"Hey, Bai, isn't that Ryuki over there?"

Following Xia Hei's direction, not far away in the corner was the masked ninja Ryuki, seemingly tracking someone. Wasn't she supposed to be recovering from an injury? How did she recover so quickly?

"Let's go follow her."

And that's how the three of us ended up tailing her, and not long after catching up, we heard the sound of a fight ahead.

"I just want to confirm one thing."

"I have nothing to say to ninjas. Even if you have saved me, please leave."

Facing Ryuki was unexpectedly Longyang. Wasn't he also recovering from his injuries? Could it be that those with the surname Long heal especially quickly?

"...Until we meet again."

Having said that, he performed a grand leap and left, truly living up to his ninja reputation.

"Have those three over there seen enough?"

"What, have they seen through us already..."

"Are you the new practical course teachers?"

We glanced at each other and shrugged.

"More or less."

"More or less... Alright, you are strange ones too."

Come to think of it, these two fainted on the spot earlier. It seems they don't know about us... but...

Why does she keep staring at Taishi Xi?

"I seem to have followed you before."

Ryuki suddenly spoke.

"On the airship."

"Yes, I noticed you too. Aren't you tired hanging outside the airship by yourself?"

Taishi Xi smiled and replied.

"Well, I guess you followed me thinking I was Longyang, right?"

"Yeah..."

Hearing Longyang's name, Ryuki seemed visibly disappointed.

"I... I don't know either. There's something off about Longyang. Oh well, I'll go investigate. Goodbye!"

With that, she made a series of jumps onto a high wall and then ran off.

Even if you're a ninja, you could take a normal route sometimes, why jump over a wall when leaving.

"Seriously, what are those two sisters thinking?"

Xiaohei looked at us and asked.

"They each have their own issues, right? Isn't that so, Miss Longyang?"

I looked towards the wall beside me.

"Can actually... see through my Turtle Concealment Technique."

Longyang emerged from behind the wall and looked at us.

"You probably figured it out too, that Ryuki is your sister. Why not have a proper chat with her?"

"I... can't forgive ninjas... I'll leave it at that."

With that, he also left.

Ah, what a bizarre plot, truly perplexing.

"Let's not meddle in other people's business. Let's find something to do now. We have an event in a few days, and we won't be able to gather then."

"That's true..."

Xiaohei nodded and then looked at me.

"Shall we do some reconnaissance?"

"Reconnaissance?"

"For that dragon~"

Xiaohei said happily.
