Garen blinked his eyes and suddenly fiercely pulled at her feet with his hands
PONG
Ying Er fell on his body and they both groaned in pain
Garen could srance and her soft breast pushed at the area above his chest Garen somehow felt a little excited
"Co his sto Er was not paying attention to Garen’sto bla she was right above his chest Garen was er than before and she could feel his chest muscles Unlike the last time he was tripped by his sister, Garen acted like he did not care instead of getting angry Ying Er felt surprised after hearing Garen ask her about lunch and she hesitated for a second before standing up
"I made sweet bean cake, onion pancakes, and coconut with sweetEr answered as she brushed some dust off her dress

Garen gradually noticed the change in his sister His adult consciousness allowed hihtly different; she seemed to take his every word very seriously She was very careful with her actions when they were playing tag earlier, using only a very slight aht hurt hied to sneak an attack on her and take her down in the end
"Have so out to buy fruits, it's been a tough day for you, Ying Er" He reached out a hand to pinch his sister's cheek There seemed to be much less acne and freckles on her red face recently; it felt soft and s Er slapped away Garen's hand "Did you take the wrong medicine? Since when did you kno to show concern towards soh she usually tried very hard to pretend as if she wasn't close with her brother, in fact, she was constantly concerned about everything related to Garen in secret
Garen's heart skipped a beat He realized that he had gone slightly overboard with his change in character; he i another word "Can't I have grown up? Do you have to act all shocked? Come on, let's eat"
After a rushed ether to wash the dishes, then quickly went back to their respective bedroo as if there was a gust of wind under her skirt ever since she was accidentally exposed, and she constantly felt uneasy in front of Garen They were step-siblings after all; a relationship built through the fusion of two single-parent families was not considered to be blood-relations
Garen, on the other hand, was rushing back to his roo by the , he quietly stared at the pale red Attribute data in the lower part of his field of vision
"If skills can indeed be enhanced, I will be able to participate in the tournae prize pool if I enhance my archery or sword skills My only worry is that it would stick out like a sore thumb if a student that seldo aside what othersEr knows my situation well She is aware that I don't usually practice lasspane
"If that's the case, this idea with archery and sword skills won't work But what about the White Cloud Dojo? I've always been attentive to the Dojo's training If I dove into the tournament, people would assuh observation, and it would attract less attention Moreover, the Dojo isn't the Academy; it's an independent party It wouldn't attractunusual or exceptional happened there It's just that the prize money is a little on the low side… I could approach the Dojo and inquire whether there are any inter-dojo tournaments Those offer much more prize htly grazed his hand over the surface of the glass; it was smooth and cool to touch "If that's the case, I'll pay a visit to the Dojo this afternoon and ask a trainer about the general situation"
After resting in his room for a bit, Garen quietly walked out When he walked past his sister's roo soundly, and decided not to bother her
He gently put on his scarf and coat, then changed his shoes and walked out the door Walking out of his cul-de-sac and grasping the 300 dollars froe and stepped into it
"To the White Cloud Dojo"
"It's ten dollars yeah?" the driver turned around to confir in the carriage and looking out the right , he could see buildings with pale yelloalls swiftly pass by one after another A few radually becaray buildings Shops with round arch doorways for clocks and sundries
Garen looked closely at the Skills section in his field of vision
Fighting skills: Amateur Archery skills: Amateur Sword skills: Amateur
"If I can pass the assessment and train in the Secret Arts of White Cloud Dojo, I can enhance my physical quality Couple that with my Attribute points to concurrently increasewould be exponential cohtly, indicating a trace of anticipation
"If I keep using Attribute points to enhance a single skill, I wonder what the maximum level of increase would it reach It's been said that different people have different talents, leading to great disparities in the effect of training in the Secret Arts This could help conceal the fact that I' my skills with Attribute points This way, even if the level of the training htly inferior, it would still be able tomethods Now,whom he could inquire with at the Dojo, Garen could only coirl with short and silver hair that he trained with
There was one that left a deep ih: the best in their batch, Erwin He would always achieve high rankings with overwhel skills In addition to that, he had a ht-up If there was so a Formal Disciple of White Cloud Dojo, it would be Erwin
"I could go to Erwin This guy would definitely be training in the Dojo even if it's the weekend, no exceptions Moreover, he would definitely be clear about these things," Garen thought He has heard of grand inter-dojo tournaments where the crème de la crème of Galantia Province - in which Huaishan City is located - were chosen, and were presented awards and reat way for dojos to avoid vicious competition, exhibit their talent pool and solidify their social status The annual grand prize is almost never below 100,000 dollars, and the winner will qualify for the national tournah what he knew, the carriage gradually slowed down to a stop
"Sir, the White Cloud Dojo," the driver's words interrupted Garen's train of thought
"Yes, very well" He dug some notes from his pocket and handed it to the driver Once he received his change, Garen ie
The streets were narrow, giving a round was paved with gray and black pebbles, which s on both sides of the street were varied; there were red ones, gray ones, and pale yellow ones There was a variety of patterns too: squares, triangles, plaid, wavy arcs, etc It all looked a mess Ten odd steps from Garen, a khaki-yellow bell tower stood in the middle of the street; at its base, a round and arched doorway allowed pedestrians through
A s of pedestrians continuously went in and out from the doorway
There was a white wooden board on the left side of the doorway displaying a paper notice Two people were standing there reading it
Garen walked over to the notice and checked it out
"White Cloud Dojo Notice on Recruitment over the Holidays: Under-18 applicants with a student card can enjoy half-off student fees The specific adult fees schedule is as follows: …"
One of the people reading the notice was a freckled teenage boy who frowned after he read it "Let's go, Ji, and it's not as if it would serve any purpose No matter what arts you train in, a shot from a pistol would still take you down in an instant"
The other boy shook his head and both walked past the board through the doorway, leaving Garen standing there alone
To the right of the notice was the façade of a building with a grayish-white steeple Mahogany strips were affixed to its any door at the entrance ide open, displaying the deserted scene beyond: a lone student wearing khaki-yellow robes eeping inside
Garen browsed the contents of the notice, then iht
The student eeping looked up at hih the main entrance, the middle hall, past the khaki-colored courtyard, and headed directly towards the inners at the edge of the courtyard forray line Garen walked towards the entrance of the lefts caently opened the door It was quite dark and e on the wall at the far end Two guys and a girl were each hitting a sandbag at a fast pace, and there were three students by the side holding towels and the like for them
An endless stream of thumps could be heard
Garen's entrance went al a white towel turned around to look at hiyh specifications The sandbags here were extremely heavy, only suitable for Formal Disciples to train with If nors, they would probably hurt theht swiftly fell on the leftmost boy
The boy's upper body was bare, and the bronze muscles on it were distinct Sweat poured down his back and drenched his gray shorts He was co it at a htly at every punch
Garen walked over and waited patiently by the side
More than ten minutes later, the boy stopped He wiped the sweat off his face and combed his short, pale yellow hair - completely drenched in sweat - backward He yanked a black towel off the rack to the side and started wiping his sweat
"Senior Brother Erwin, I'm Garen, one of the students in your batch Can I ask you so?" Garen took the opportunity to step forward and said aloud The roo sounds; he wouldn't be heard if he didn't speak up
"Garen? Oh… I know you" Erwin put down the towel and gave a kind s you want We're batchmates, no need to stand on ceremony"
"I'd like to inquire about the student tournaments"
Ten eneral understanding of the tournaments One had to first participate in the dojo's internal tourna in order to participate in the tourna cities The winners would then be selected for the provincial tournament, which would eventually lead to the national tournaes formed a ladder-like hierarchy Additionally, only the internal and inter-city tournaments would be held within a span of three weeks from start to finish; the rest would be held in the next year or in the year after that
"But it's good enough if I can get my hands on some prize money The first prize for the city tournament this time around is 10,000 dollars, 5,000 for the second and 2,000 for the third I'll be able to resolve this et second place"
