Chapter 21 Fighting Rum
Chapter 21 Fighting Rum

I got up very early the next day. After washing up, I put on the black windbreaker that Jingliu prepared for me.

"Hey, Sister Jingliu, wake up." I patted Jingliu's shoulder in the hope of waking her up. After a while of moaning, Jingliu opened her hazy eyes.

"Good morning, Bing~" She greeted me while rubbing her eyes. "Ah~ Why are you in my room?"

"I tell you, whose room is this?" I squinted my eyes and looked at her.

Jingliu put his index finger to his mouth and looked at me like a cute baby. "I remember I was waiting for you to change your clothes yesterday. Then I lay on the bed to rest, and fell asleep without knowing it. Ah~ I'm in your room!" Jingliu reacted.

"So, hurry up and get up. It's already daybreak. I don't have any tasks for you right now, so you can arrange your time yourself."

"Oh, I see. Then... let me sleep a little longer." Jingliu said, and fell on my bed again, covering his head with the quilt and looking reluctant to get up.

"Really?" I was ashamed. "Remember to have breakfast later. I'm leaving first." After saying that, I left the bedroom. I was standing at the door of the bedroom before I left. I saw Jingliu suddenly sit up.

"ice!"

"Huh? Why are you suddenly calling me so loudly?" I was startled.

Jingliu stared at me for a long time. "Hehe, you look really good in this dress." Then she crawled back into the quilt like a kitten.

"I say..." I squinted my eyes again, looked at her, and then walked out of the room.

dong dong dong.

I knocked on Shiho's door. Because Shiho's foot was injured, I thought it would take a while for her to open the door. But surprisingly, the door was opened very quickly.

"Ah, Bing, good morning." Mingmei opened the door. It seemed that she came back very early this morning.

"Ah? It's Sister Mingmei. You're back. Good morning." I greeted her with my hands on my head. "I'm here to see Shiho. How is she?"

"Yeah. I came back early this morning. My sister is much better now. Thank you for sending her back yesterday. Bing." As she said this, she bowed slightly to me.

"No way, Mingmei, you're too polite." I smiled at her with my white teeth bared. "Well, since you're back, I'll go back first. If there's anything you need help with, just tell Jingliu and ask her to pass it on to me."

"Um. Bing, if it's convenient, can you come to see me in the evening? I have something to tell you." Mingmei frowned slightly and looked at me hopefully. It seems that she has encountered some difficulties.

"Yeah. No problem. I'll come here to find you after training today." I smiled at her.

"Yeah. Thank you, Bing."

After talking to Akemi I left Shiho's room and went to the cafeteria.

Since Sister Mingmei is back, I don't have to take Shiho to class anymore. And if Shiho wasn't injured, I wouldn't want to be in a crowded place with her. If we were too close, we would be discovered by the organization, and the result would be that we would be managed separately.

After having breakfast in the cafeteria, I came to the elevator. But because I got up very early today, I was the first one to arrive. I waved my arms in this open space and felt the strength of my body. Sure enough, although I slept for a day, the soreness became worse. So I decided to stretch my muscles in this small space. Anyway, I was waiting. So I stood still and started to do some warm-up exercises before class. I performed a simple Tongbiquan. Because Tongbiquan is very basic and is the best for stretching muscles.

After about two minutes of fist closure, I took a long breath to adjust my breathing. When I felt my slightly warmed muscles were no longer so sore, I smiled with satisfaction.

About two minutes later, Ling and the others arrived.

"Good morning, Bing. You came so early today." Ling smiled at me sweetly. "Wow. Is this the black clothes that official members wear? So handsome." Ling's eyes turned into stars.

"Ah, good morning." I turned around and said to them. "I had something to do this morning. I canceled it and came early. This outfit was picked out for me by my men yesterday. Isn't it nice?"

"Good morning, Brother Bing." It was Taiyi and Mary who greeted me.

"Ah. Good morning. How was your training yesterday?" I smiled at them.

"Thanks to Brother Bing, I finally hit it to 300 yards. But I just couldn't hit it to 350 yards." Mary said to me with a blushing face.

"Haha. Just take your time with this kind of thing. A sniper rifle weighs about 12 kilograms. It's not easy to hold it up horizontally and shoot. I believe you will be able to do it well soon." I encouraged them with a smile.

"Yeah. Thank you, Brother Bing." Mary said with a smile.

"Then let's go. I'm doing combat training today. Ling should be doing dagger training, right?" I asked Ling. Ling smiled and nodded at me.

"Taichi, what about you guys?"

"I will train with the pistol first. Mary will train with the submachine gun." Taiyi said to me respectfully.

"Okay. Then I'll take you to the third floor first." I took out the elevator card and swiped it to open the elevator door.

After sending Taichi and the others to the third floor, Ling and I returned to the second floor.

"By the way, Ling, don't your arms and legs hurt?" I asked Ling in the elevator. She seemed to be fine, but I felt uncomfortable all night yesterday.

"Well, it doesn't hurt. There is a special medicine for converting muscle lactic acid in our room, so it won't hurt too much." Ling smiled sweetly.

"Is that so? No wonder." I smiled helplessly. That's right, I'm now a formal member. All formal members have completed training. I'm the first new member to become a formal member. Naturally, no one would consider putting this kind of pain-relieving medicine in my room. "Hey, Bing. Did you put on perfume?" Ling looked at me with curiosity.

"Hmm? Your little nose works well." I smiled. "Yeah. I put on lavender perfume."

"Tsk... a grown boy is wearing perfume." Ling looked at me embarrassedly.

"Hey, hey... who said boys can't wear perfume? And I've already put on very light perfume." I squinted my eyes and looked at Ling. "Jingliu said I should wear perfume to suit the occasion."

"Quiet flow?"

"Yeah. It's my girl. She designed my room with a lavender theme. The whole room is purple."

"Hey? You like purple so much." Ling said as she smoothed her long purple hair. "Since you like purple so much, I'll let you touch my hair again."

"..."

"What? Don't you want to touch it?"

"What do you want..." I said with my eyes narrowed.

"Hehe. Bing, you are really smart. As a reward, I want to go to your room to take a look. Is that okay?"

"Yeah. No problem. Let's go tonight. Let's ask Taichi and Mary to go together." I reached out and rubbed Ling's bangs.

"Bing! How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? I only let you touch my hair. I didn't let you touch my head!" Ling shouted at me angrily.

"Hahaha. Sorry, sorry. I forgot again." I laughed.

"You did it on purpose!" Ling said relentlessly.

"Haha. Okay, okay. The elevator is here. Go ahead." I was the first to escape from the elevator, ignoring Ling's angry face.

I came to the fighting training ground. I was not the only one training here. Many people were training here. Every two or three people occupied a large open space. Judging from the scope, there should be more than 20 venues. I was very surprised. What time did they come here to train?

"Are you IceWine?" A strong male voice sounded. I looked in the direction of the voice. A sturdy man nearly two meters tall stood in front of me. He had short pale hair and a pale beard. He looked very mature and had well-developed muscles. That was definitely not something that could be built overnight. Judging from his Japanese accent, he should be an American.

"Yes. You are?" I answered briefly.

"I'm your fighting coach. Codename is Rum. Come with me." The big man turned around and walked towards the training ground. Every step he took was steady and powerful, and no one could find any flaws. I followed him to my training ground.

"Come at me," he ordered coldly. "Let me see how capable a newcomer who can kill a regular member is. As long as you let me move, you will complete your mission today." Rum's tone was full of disdain.

"Tsk." I looked at his arrogant expression and scratched my ear with disdain. "If you underestimate a child, you'll suffer a great loss."

"Hmph. You bragging brat. You..." Before Rum finished speaking, I had already rushed forward. I gathered all my strength in my right fist and hit him hard in the abdomen.

"Hmm." Rum leaned forward in pain, but his feet were steady.

"Haha. Good speed and strength. It seems that I underestimated you. But you are still too young." Rum recovered from his injuries quickly and stood up again.

"Tsk tsk. It feels like I hit a tire." I shook my hands. "Hey, Rum. As long as I can get you to move your feet today, that's fine, right?"

"That's right, kid. I admit that you are very talented. But the kid who can make me move for the first time has not appeared yet." Rum smiled disdainfully.

"Really? Then today I will break your record of not moving!" I said. I released my murderous aura. When he was stunned by my murderous aura, I rushed forward again. But this time, my target was his knee. The place about four fingers long behind the human knee is what we commonly call the numbness. And that's where I hit. I punched him hard. I could clearly feel his leg tremble. Then the hand that punched turned into a claw. I grabbed the place where his numbness was, and then, with my hand as the center, I moved my whole body around his back. I hit his knee with my right knee. Taking advantage of the moment when his body moved forward, I touched the ground with my left foot and lifted it up. Then I put my hands together and punched his neck with a cannon fist. Then I kicked him in the back.

Rum, who had lost his balance, naturally leaned forward. Coupled with my hammer and kick, he took more than one step forward and almost fell to his knees.

"Have I completed my mission?" I stood behind him and smiled coldly at him.

"Humph." Although he was not convinced, Rum did not break his promise. He stood up and said to me, "You are indeed extraordinary. You are worthy of being a rookie who can get a code name. You can go now. Your mission today is completed."

"Hey, Rum." I smiled at him. "Although my mission is completed, you can still teach me, right?"

"Hmm?" Rum frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, although I completed the task, I did it by sheer force. I know I still have many shortcomings. So, Rum, give me everything you know. Sooner or later, I will use my strength to break your record of not moving." This method of giving a slap in the face and a date to eat is most suitable for people like them who are big and strong. Sure enough, Rum took the bait.

"Hmm? Hum. Hum. Hahahaha." Rum laughed. "Boy, I kind of like you. Okay! I'll teach you everything I know. But before that, let me take off one of your arms." As he said that, Rum rushed towards me. And I dodged nimbly. I'm still a child. It might take some effort to parry Rum's attack. It's better to dodge quickly. As a child, although I'm flexible enough to react, my physical strength can't keep up. Gradually, I began to lose the speed of Rum. After more than an hour, I stopped Rum's attack at the cost of a dislocated arm.

After Rum fixed my arm, he started to teach me about fighting. Actually, I didn't want Rum to teach me anything, because I know much more than him. The purpose of what I said to him at the end was to make him willing to be my sparring partner. In this way, my strength can grow quickly. Because actual combat is the best way to teach!
