CH 158

When Rode returned to the secret base, he found that the instructor of the "Top Class," Soren, was not there. Instead, the one training the students was the golden and radiant Valkyrie, Teresa.

This elegant young lady seemed to have some prestige among this group of top students. Even some unruly individuals followed her instructions, stepping on the sliding board and pulling the rubber resistance band that was three yards thick.

"Bear, you have a problem with your force. How many times have I told you not to excessively rotate your ankles inward? It will reduce the support for the inner longitudinal arch of your foot, thus reducing torque and explosive force. When your psychic power exceeds fifty kilocuts after strengthening your strength, the absorption of the counterforce will decrease. Don't you want to break your half foot with one step?"

"Hawkeye, do you only have strength in your hand when you masturbate? Pull the resistance band to twenty yards! Not a yard less."

"Jessica, you can't do this arm movement like this. It will hit your own chest..."

Teresa, wearing a red armor helmet, patrolled the upper training ground, correcting every subtle difference in their movements like an instructor.

All twenty-one top students, regardless of gender, were undergoing strength training.

Psychic physical enhancement also consumed their energy, and physical fitness was also very important.

Everyone was sweating profusely, but no one complained.

When Rode stepped into the training ground, Teresa immediately noticed him.

"Little Rode, you're back. Instructor Soren specially arranged your training content before he left. Come here quickly."

Teresa, who was always called the "Valkyrie," had fiery red hair, a clean and fair face, delicate eyebrows, a small and delicate nose, a cherry-like small mouth, and crystal-like light blue eyes. She looked quite charming when she smiled. But Rode knew that she was actually the strongest in close-quarters combat among the entire "Top Class."

Every time they demonstrated combat, it was her and Instructor Soren working together. The storm-like offense and defense made Rode dizzy as he ran circles around them.

She was also the only acquaintance Rode could talk to in this "Top Class."

Of course, it wasn't that they deliberately isolated Rode. It was just that Rode himself was very busy. He had to train, study dreams, and learn languages with Professor Bince. He had no free time and couldn't go on missions with them.

The only chance for them to communicate was during combat training, but Rode and them were completely on different levels. They had no common topics and couldn't communicate.

Only Teresa, because she was entrusted by Soren to supervise Rode's classes, was slightly more familiar.

"Today is training with the little sister."

Rode breathed a sigh of relief. He had promised Soren to make up for the missed classes, and he was feeling anxious, but he didn't expect Soren to be absent.

"Maybe it will be easier."

But he was happy too soon.

Unexpectedly, Teresa didn't show any familiarity at all and trained him to the bone.

"Your legs! Using psychic power like this, aren't you afraid of breaking your third leg?"

"I've said it many times. Feel the invisible connection between psychic power and consciousness, control the formation and release of power."

"Add more force, you're too weak! Even my five-year-old sister can fight better than you."

Teresa was very strict during training, completely different from her usual gentle and polite image.

Rode never thought that one day he would miss Soren's presence. Although he had a lot of physical contact with Miss Teresa, this Valkyrie always wore her armor, which was cold and hard, and not at all alluring.

However, although the training was tough, he still persevered and completed it meticulously.

Teresa praised, "Your willpower is good. You deserve the title of 'Black Rice Bucket.'"

Damn it, I must change this title.

She is a golden and radiant Valkyrie, why am I just a black rice bucket?

And why the hell is it always associated with the sewer?

After the training, Rode, with his almost fainting will, distributed the specialties he brought back from Qingcao Town to everyone.

The relationship between the students still needed to be maintained. Maybe they would be partners in the future. When Rode shouted, "Don't kill, I'm here!" they would remember the gifts he gave today and pause their actions. Then, the gifts wouldn't be in vain.

The plan was successful, and Rode's small gifts won them some goodwill.

"Ah, I love drinking Qingcao tea the most."

"This blue vine is so beautiful."

"This is the original radish essential oil. It smells so good. Thank you, Mr. Rode."

There were a total of thirty-three top students, and twelve of them were currently on a mission. Rode gave the twelve gifts to Teresa and asked her to give them on his behalf.

Teresa gladly accepted them and then told him about his training tasks for the next few days.

Rode was surprised to find that not only Instructor Soren, but also the theory teacher, Churchill, and the soul master, Priscilla, were all absent.

Teresa told him that they had returned to fulfill their duties.

Only during the recovery period would they come here to teach while restoring their psychic power.

Once the recovery was complete, they would return to their respective positions until the next recovery period.

Hearing this, Rode suddenly had an idea.

Can't I do the same?

During the recovery period, I can come back to the secret base to study and learn, and as soon as the recovery is over, I can immediately go on missions with the Hunter's Guild.

I can learn and grow at the same time.

Hahaha, this is called killing two birds with one stone.

Rode immediately told Teresa about his idea, using the excuse of going out for inspiration.

Teresa immediately understood his idea and smiled, "Alright then, stay at the base for three days. If you can complete all the training, I will give you three days off."

"What if I can keep completing them?"

"Then I'll keep giving you time off.""Alright, it's a deal. You can't go back on your word, Valkyrie."

Teresa gently patted his shoulder, her slight smile causing her eyes to curve, making her look incredibly adorable.

"Keep it up, little Rode. Six days of classes in three days, it's a lot of pressure."

"Hmph, don't worry, I can definitely handle it."

Rode confidently stated.

Worst comes to worst, he just wouldn't sleep. After all, he had the Dream Chair, which could quickly restore his fatigue and energy.

"Also, stop calling me 'little'. I'll grow up soon, whether it's in age or height, in strength or skill, in every aspect."

Teresa, who was about to leave, turned around. The light coming from the side made her smile somewhat blurry.

"Then it's settled. You have to grow up quickly. Jessica and the others are waiting for you to save them, big brother Rode."

She chuckled lightly and left the training ground.
