[tomorrow morning]
Xiao Qiangwei woke up and got in the shower to clean himself, and when he got out, he found Stella who just woke up and looked at his body, then she got again that trail of blood that left from her nose.
Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* And I though that the men should be more pervert...
Stella: W-what do you mean?! You are the one walking around with just a bathrobe! What do you think a girl should think when she see you with a perfect body like that?!
Xiao Qiangwei: Oh? So you like the show, eh?
Stella blushed and looked at another way.
Later Xiao Qiangwei dressed up and told her.
Xiao Qiangwei: I am going to train, bye...
Stella: hey, Qiangwei.
Xiao Qiangwei: mh?
Stella: can I follow you to see how you train?
Xiao Qiangwei: Are you sure? It is boring watching me training.
Stella: Mh, I want to see how you became so strong.
Xiao Qiangwei: 'Well, I think that today I can enter the 2nd Tyrant Profound Realm...' Why not? Follow me then...
Then they walked out from the academy and now they were in a forest.
Stella: Why are we here?
Xiao Qiangwei: because it helps me with the training, now I am going to start, but I warned you that it would be boring, so if you don't want to spectate anymore you can just leave.
Stella: No, I am going to see everything till the last second.
Xiao Qiangwei just shrugged and put himself in a lotus pose and started cultivating the World-Defying Heaven Manual.
Meanwhile Stella watched everything with interest, because she could feel a bit of the energy around him entering his body.
[3 hours later]
Stella was almost sleeping from boredom, until a sudden rise of energy appeared, it woke her up and made her fall on her back, when she got up again, she seen that the rise of energy came from Xiao Qiangwei, and it surprised her when the energy stopped going wild like it appeared.
Then Xiao Qiangwei got up and clenched his hands, then he smirked and looked at Stella.
Xiao Qiangwei: I just became stronger, no need to be frightened.
Stella: W-what happened?!
Xiao Qiangwei: Nothing interesting. Well, time to go back at the academy now, soon there should be the fight of Ikki.
Stella: Eh? Oh yeah.
then they walked away from the forest and got towards the arena.
[later]
They were in the arena, and right now they were spectating a fight between Ikki and a girl named Ayase Ayatsuji
"Alright, Thanks for waiting, everyone! The first match in the sixth arena will now begin! In charge of our commentary today is Oreki Yuuri-sensei! Let's introduce the fighters. First, it's the first-year contender Kurogane Ikki, he's the F-Rank knight that everyone's been watching closely, after winning a perfect ten out of ten fights!"
"And his opponent is third-year contender Ayatsuji Ayase, this D-Rank knight, like contender Kurogane, is also a sword wielder. Who's won her matches thus far with only sword techniques!"
Xiao Qiangwei: What the...?
Stella: What's happening?
Xiao Qiangwei: the place is a fucking minefield...
Shizuku: What do you mean?
Xiao Qiangwei: thanks to my Noble Art, I could see things that some may not, and one of them is the arena that is full of hidden slashes made of air...
Stella/Shizuku: What?!
Shizuku: Then she cheated!
Xiao Qiangwei: It's ok, do you really think your brother would be so easily defeated? He already knows about them.
Stella: I don't get it...
Xiao Qiangwei: He told me that if I seen something that is wrong, then I should keep quiet about it. So I accepted it and here we are.
The girls then watched the fight, Stella was analyzing everything while Shizuku was worried.
Ikki was already injured due to the slashes that were left in the air around him, but he was still fighting against Ayase, then he rushed at her and somehow dodged the traps she put beforehand, and when he was in front of her, he used another sword technique and defeated her.
Xiao Qiangwei: Heh, I would have broken his arm if he somehow lost in this fight...
Shizuku got shocked and then she turned to him
Shizuku: I won't let you hurt him!
Stella and Xiao Qiangwei just laughed at her while Ikki was coming towards them with a smile.
[tomorrow]
Xiao Qiangwei, Stella, Ikki and the girl of yesterday, Ayase, were walking towards a dojo, it was worn out, and had some drawings made with a spray here and there.
They walked towards this place because Ikki wanted to help the girl with something, Xiao Qiangwei was bored and Stella followed him.
Ikki: Sorry to interrupt while you're chatting, but can I have some of your time?
Xiao Qiangwei: No, you're doing it wrong, just barge in, you don't ask a guard if he could let you enter in the room of his king.
Man 1: Huh? Who the hell are you?
Man 2: Oh! You're the coward from the restaurant, ain'cha! The one quacking so bad at Kuraudo knocking you around, you couldn't even complain! Hmm? Hey, it's Ayase-chan and... WHO'S THE REDHEAD! SHE'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL!
Then people suddenly grouped around Stella
Extras: Hey hey, how old are ya?/ No way, are you a Blazer?/ You from Hagun?
Xiao Qiangwei: Take a step back from her and I might have mercy on you.
Extras: Who's the fucker here?/ This little shit thinks he's strong/ Let's teach him a lesson.../ Eh? Wait, isn't he the guy who destroyed the Fire Demon?
Xiao Qiangwei: you asked for it...
then he froze all of them in a flash.
Ikki: didn't you exagerated a bit?
Xiao Qiangwei: I am already holding back, otherwise I would freeze their insides too, they shouldn't poke around other people's girlfriends.
Stella gave a sweet smile at him for his behavior.
Ikki: EEH?! So you and Stella...
Xiao Qiangwei: yep, we are a couple...
Ikki: But won't the Vermillion Kingdom then try to hunt you for this?
Xiao Qiangwei: I don't care, even if the heaven is against me, I will just take it down, I have the capabilities to defend myself and the people around me, so I will use them.
Stella just hugged his arm and unconsciously pressed her body at him while smilling.
Stella: Thank you, Qiangwei.
Xiao Qiangwei, Ikki and Ayase smiled at the scene in front of them, but then the last two mentioned turned towards the dojo with a serious face.
Ikki: so, how we will enter?
Xiao Qiangwei: let me do the job... You fucking gentleman...
then Ikki and Xiao Qiangwei came in front of the doors of the dojo, and Xiao Qiangwei kicked it down, making it fly towards the opposite wall, everyone inside the dojo were watching the scene, and then turned to the entrance
Xiao Qiangwei: Daddy took out the belt!
