"I want to know how to grow stronger using my current physical body," Leon excitedly says. He knows that he has gone stronger more than ten times because of his breakthrough and his potential being unearthed by his special ability and the system's interference.
"I too, with your help, managed to finally control my urges and regain my former cultivation speed. I want to surprise teacher Kayla with my manliness," Aranold confidently says.
The triclops snorted, and he then mocked them: "I cannot believe that you two are celebrating after improving so little in such a long time; I am even embarrassed at you."
"What did you say, three eyes?" Leon snaps back, knowing that his friend will back him up. He is confident that they are able to win in a two-versus-one situation.
"Are you jealous, two eyes?" Surprisingly, the triclops did not immediately become angry; he only insulted him back.
He is taken aback; he looks at the triclops and forms a newfound respect for him, but he will not outwardly show it. Aranold senses his friend's mood and just smiles slightly.
The triclops might be arrogant, and the angel is not friendly to the both of them, but they cannot change the fact that they are roommates and they need to help each other.
"Silence! Teacher is entering!" Quickly stated by the angel as the door opens and a woman with long ears enters, Leon's eyes widen, but he quickly snaps back from his shock.
'She looks like an elf! ' He screams inwardly; he is a fan of them in his former world, and he is of course excited to see one in the real world.
The teacher scans them and stops at him; a surprise look appears in her beautiful face; the four notice them; the other two are envious; Aranold is calm, as he already expected; and meanwhile, the person that everyone is focused on is still excitedly cheering in his heart.
"It seems that the four of you have improved, especially you two. Keep up with your current progress, and you may challenge those in the higher-ranking room," she calmly says as she focuses her gaze on both Aranold and Leon.
The other two are surprised by her words; they quickly turn to Aranold and Leon. Their expressions become solemn, but there is a tinge of excitement within them.
"Now let us assess your true combat prowess. First, the former weakest member, Cleo Oriend, please step forward in the arena!" Her voice becomes cold as she exudes a pressure that made the four tremble.
Leon takes a deep breath and enters the arena that just appeared in front of them. He looks at the teacher, and it seems that they are going to spar first before she starts her lesson.
"Pick your weapon." She waves her hand, and multiple weapons appear in front of him. He, without hesitation, grabs the sword, but he still feels that it is incomplete, so, in front of everyone's surprised faces, he also grabs the large sabre.
The teacher then frowns, but seeing his serious expression, she decides to let him be. She raises her hand and shouts, "Begin!"
He charges in an instant; he throws the sabre with all of his might at the same time, using his newfound ability that came from breaking through the dragon-tiger body manual, which is called [Dragon Flight], giving him a temporary boost in speed.
The teacher flicks her finger, stopping the sabre instantly. Seeing this, he narrows his eyes as his muscle bulges. He grabs the flying sabre and simultaneously attacks with both weapons in his hand.
Dragon-tiger body manual active power [Tiger Pounce]
This ability amplifies his physical strength to a certain degree, and he is confident that even if his attack is blocked, he will still pass his teacher's evaluation.
The elf teacher slaps him away with ease. He grunts but grits his teeth and uses the large sabre as an anchor to stop himself. He looks at the teacher with shock evident in his eyes.
Dragon-tiger body manual active power [Dragon-tiger Roar]
The eyes of the teacher flash with a bright light; she disappears from his sight and reappears behind him.
His instinct kicks in; he quickly turns and crosses his arms; he feels his bones creaking after taking the blow; he cannot help but scream in pain.
"As expected, you have changed your body tempering technique and actually picked your clan's unique tempering technique and even breakthroughed the first stage," she calmly states.
Leon smiles bitterly. It seems that his teacher broke his bone in order to verify her guess. He can only sigh in defeat. He thought that he had grown strong enough to at least survive and escape against any opponent. It seems that he still underestimates the powerhouses of this world.
Grabbing his sword once again, he charges with determination to fight till he can no longer stand. The elf teacher nods her head appreciatively.
For the next couple of minutes or so, he suffered multiple blows that made him vomit and even puke blood.
Until the end, he does not stop his attack. The eyes of the trio that were watching become solemn, and they realise that even with his casual attitude and handsome, rich boy face, he is a warrior.
"It seems that I have gone too far in our spar." The elf teacher stated as she saw her student lying in front of her. Multiple of his bones were broken, and his internal injuries were causing him to shake in pain.
The other three suffer the same fate as him; it seems that his drastic change and massive improvement spark a fire in the heart of their teacher; she becomes proactive in their sparring, but this spells doom for the other three.
Aranold once again looks like his beat-up self after completing multiple sparring sessions against multiple top rankers; his battle against the elf teacher only lasts a couple of seconds longer than Leons.
