A practice match was a normal thing for a Martial House to do. Usually, a martial club would propose a practice match to another martial club of the same level.
This would happen when the competition was approaching. The practice match served as a warm-up for the members of the martial house.
As the Fighting Anteriority was approaching, Kang Dong-Woo urged his sister to find an opponent for a practice match. The boy wanted to test his progress over the past month.
At first, Kang Seo-Yeon was not very enthusiastic about the idea. But then she remembered the story of how the two sisters met Heero.
The head of the Iron Fist Martial House, Yan Tie, had a crush on Han Ying. This guy used black methods to get Han Ying, but Heero saved her.
Iron Fist Martial House sent their men to take care of Heero for interfering in their deeds, but Heero took care of those people. There was no continuation after that.
Kang Seo-Yeon knew that Heero would not be interested in a training match. However, she knew that it might be different if it was the Iron Fist Martial House. She could spend more time with Heero in the training match.
She had planned everything well, she just had to wait for Heero's answer.
Kang Seo-Yeon looked at Heero hopefully. She noticed that the guy stopped moving when she said Iron Fist Martial House.
Heh, you can't refuse me this time...
Heero looked down at the dough in his hand, then at his wives. Han Ying and Hong Yu nodded in agreement. They had heard everything from the beginning.
"Are you all right? Hong Yu will be leaving soon, can you handle the order alone?" He was worried about Han Ying.
"It's okay, I can contact Teacher Lin to replace me for today's class. Hehe... I am not only a normal teacher, but also a principal," Hong Yu waved her hand at her husband.
"I'm fine. The shop hasn't had that many customers lately either. I can still manage," Han Ying reassured Heero.
Getting permission from his wives. He looked back at Kang Seo-Yeon and replied, "All right, when?"
Hearing the positive answer, Kang Seo-Yeon's face brightened. With a sweet yet seductive smile, she replied, "We'll leave at 9 am.
"Mnn... You can gather the kids, I will join you after I finish my work!" Hero continued to knead the dough in his hand.
It was still 7 a.m., and there were still two hours before they left.
"I've already told the children to gather at the entrance. I will wait here so that we can leave together... Ah, let me help..." Kang Seo-Yeon entered the kitchen and busied herself to help his wives.

At 9 am, Heero and Kang Seo-Yeon arrived at the entrance of the academy.
Kang Dong-Woo and Xu Lingxun were talking excitedly. They seemed to be waiting for the training match.
Butcher Wang was also excited about the practice match, as could be seen from his expression. Musashi Hirata looked indifferent while Sun Zhou Yi seemed disappointed.
Heero approached Sun Zhou Yi and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"He's disappointed because he can't participate in the training match," Kang Seo-Yeon replied to Sun Zhou Yi.
"Why?"
Kang Seo-Yeon rolled her eyes at Heero, "The head of the Iron Fist Martial House is a Silver Class Ranker, do you think there is a member of their martial house who would dare to challenge Sun Zhou Yi?"
"Ah!?" Only then did Heero realize that the fame of his first disciple was not trivial. In fact, not even that Yan Tie guy dared to challenge Sun Zhou Yi, let alone the ordinary member.
Heero patted Sun Zhou Yi's shoulder and said, "Don't be disappointed, you can ask our director to find a stronger opponent later.
He pointed at Kang Seo-Yeon with his thumb.
"It is not easy to challenge the famous martial arts house. They won't just accept our challenge, we have to make a name for ourselves before we can challenge them!" Kang Seo-Yeon chimed in from the other side.
Heero nodded his head in understanding. The purpose of the practice match was to gain experience in fighting.
Fighting an unknown or newly established dojo would fulfill the purpose of the training match. Unknown or newly established martial arts houses were usually weak. The famous martial club that was known for its strength would not accept a challenge from a newly established martial club.
"Alright, let's go~"
There was a bus that Kang Seo-Yeon had prepared. The bus was owned by the academy, she bought it for this occasion.
"Heero Academy" was written on the body of the bus, telling the people who saw it that the bus belonged to Heero Academy.
Heero arrived at the door and it opened automatically. Inside, Bai Xin Yue greeted him with a big smile, "Welcome~"

Trade Region, Iron Fist Martial House
Yan Tie sat in his office and looked at the blackboard. On the board was his Martial House's schedule for the practice match.
The result was satisfactory, out of seven practice matches, his Iron Fist Martial House won five practice matches.
Then his gaze fell on today's practice match, a frown appeared on his forehead as his mouth murmured, "Heero Academy?"
"Yao!" Yan Tie called out.
"Yes, boss!" A hot woman in a business suit entered the room with a wide smile on her face.
"What's wrong with this Heero Academy? Why did you choose this unknown academy as our practice match?" Yan Tie asked the woman.
The woman approached Yan Tie, who hugged the woman's waist tightly.
"Calm down, boss! Let me explain to you..." Yao smiled seductively at Yan Tie, "Our children are tired of facing an equal opponent. To relieve their stress after the exhausting match, I planned to give them a relaxing match, Heero Academy is the right choice for that~"
"A relaxing match?"
"Yes, a relaxing match to loosen up their tight muscles before the Fighter Anteriority. We can't put too much pressure on them or it will affect their performance during the Fighter Anteriority later," Yao explained her purpose for accepting the challenge from Heero Academy.
Yan Tie nodded his head in agreement and asked, "Tell me more about the Heero Academy?"
"Heero Academy is a newly founded academy and its location is in the outer region. Their head is called Xing Heero, and this practice match is supposed to be their debut in a practice match!" Yao recounted the information she remembered.
"Hmmm... This academy is indeed a good place for a relaxing match. I never thought about the pressure on the kids, you really are thoughtful..."
Yan Tie's hand moved down, squeezing the bouncing bottom, and whispered, "How about entertaining me before these people come..."
"I am at your service," Yao replied with her seductive smile.

Heero Academy's bus arrived at Iron Fist Martial House at 11am.
The building of Iron Fist Martial House was huge. Kang Seo-Yeon and Bai Xin Yue were the first to get off the bus.
Both of them frowned as no one from Iron Fist Martial House greeted them. Musashi Hirata was the third to get off the bus. He had the same expression as the two girls.
"It seems like they look down on us! If they don't know my face, let me fight one or two of them..." Musashi Hirata spoke to the two girls, he seemed to be annoyed.
"Hahaha... Don't get upset, Hirata! Let this Butcher Wang slaughter those guys who dare to despise our academy!" Butcher Wang came down with a big laugh.
He was used to this kind of treatment. Despite being neglected, he was not that upset. Sun Zhou Yi was slightly upset because the Heero Academy belonged to his master. Neglecting the academy was the same as not giving his master a face.
At this time, a young man came out of the building. The youth was wearing the martial arts clothes of the Iron Fist Martial House.
"Yo-Yo Yo-Yo, the newcomer is arr..." However, the youth stopped halfway when he noticed the formation of the other party.
"BBa... Bai Xin Yue, the Ice Queen... Su-Sun Zhou Yi, the Sword God... KKang Seo-Yeon, the Fiery Archer..." The boy was stunned at the sight of the three famous figures.
"Who said this was a relaxing practice match!!! W-We are doomed..."
