Once, I wanted to be a good person

The first to know this news were definitely the many students at the Reserve Commissioners Training Center.

Like... that small team of seven or eight people.

They were chatting by the flower beds when they learned of the news.

Nan Yi, the girl who had a chance encounter with Fang Ze that morning and was knocked into, had a change of attitude from her previous indifference towards Fang Ze; she was now earnestly rallying her friends,

"I've thought it over and over! I think you guys make sense!"

"Us from Miaohua City, if we want to settle down in Emerald City and make a mark in the Security Bureau, we really should find a good superior to rely on!"

"I think Commissioner Fang Ze is an excellent choice!"

"Strong in ability! Handsome! Young! And he just happens to be training at the center! This is fate!"

"We mustn't let this opportunity slip by! We must make him notice us!"

"And we have to work hard too! Cheer on! Only by doing so can we deserve Commissioner Fang Ze!"

Watching her spirited manner, a few friends murmured quietly among themselves, "What's with Nan Yi? Why the sudden excitement?"

"No clue. She just went to meet a batch of newcomers, and she's been like this ever since she came back."

"Could her mother be pressuring her again?"

"Unclear... but definitely odd."

While the few of them were chatting, suddenly two students who attended classes with Fang Ze came over, laughing and talking.

As they walked, they continued their discussion, "I'm telling you, when I saw Commissioner Fang Ze learn Sealing Thunder Fist in just one hour, I was dumbfounded. I thought I was dreaming."

"Who wasn't? My ears were buzzing at the time."

"That was the influence of the Sealing Thunder Fist."

"Haha. Weren't you the same?"

The two students' conversation was keenly picked up by Nan Yi and her friends.

Nan Yi leapt down from the flower bed and hurriedly stopped the two students, asking, "Hello. What did you just say? Commissioner Fang Ze learning Sealing Thunder Fist? He mastered it in an hour?"

Nan Yi was somewhat well-known in the training center; upon seeing her, the two students immediately stopped and said, "Oh, it's senior student Nan Yi."

"Right. We were just in Martial Arts class, and out of nowhere, Commissioner Fang Ze came to sit in."

"That class was taught by Mentor Qing Ya, who was teaching Sealing Thunder Fist. Commissioner Fang Ze just watched three times, then practiced for an hour by himself, and he got it."

Upon hearing what the two students said, everyone was a bit stunned. The little chubby one took the initiative to confirm, "What do you mean he got it? To what extent did he learn it?"

The two students were evidently from the new batch, and didn't know much about Sealing Thunder Fist.

After a moment of thought, they replied, "It means he can perform it. When he throws a punch, there's a 'rumble' of thunder in the room, and a piercing 'buzz'!"

Hearing the two students' comments, several seasoned students at the scene were thoroughly bewildered.

A while later, after the two students had left, Nan Yi snapped back to her senses. She looked at Little Fatty and asked, "Fatty, how many days did it take you to learn Sealing Thunder Fist?"

Little Fatty hemmed and hawed before answering, "Three... thirty days."

Nan Yi then turned to another guy with a crew cut nearby, "What about you?"

"Twenty-one days."

Nan Yi looked toward another student, "And you?"

"I... I still haven't mastered it."

Afterward, Nan Yi asked a few more people about their times, all of which were around 30 days, with the fastest being that 21-day crew-cut guy.

Nan Yi couldn't help but recall her own experience learning Sealing Thunder Fist.

She also learned it under the guidance of Mentor Qing Ya since it was the first Martial Skill she came into contact with, and she trained diligently every day because she liked it so much.

Even so... it took seven days to master it.

Moreover, she became the first student in her batch to master it and was rewarded by Qing Ya.

At that time, Mentor Qing Ya praised her in various ways, stating that she had talent and should apply herself more in the field of Martial Arts, not to waste her potential.

Remembering this, Nan Yi couldn't help thinking about the news she had just heard...

...Commissioner Fang Ze, in just one hour?!

How on earth did he do it?

In one hour, she was just beginning to remember the sequence in which each muscle should engage!

Isn't that monstrously talented?!

As she pondered, a flash of inspiration struck Nan Yi's mind, "Huh? Didn't I want to affiliate myself with Commissioner Fang Ze?

The stronger his abilities and the more monstrous his talent, the better, right?"

With that thought, she, who had felt thoroughly upended by her shock, was once again filled with fiery enthusiasm!

She slapped Little Fatty on the shoulder forcefully and said to her friends, "See! That's our future superior!"

"We can't let him down! We have to try our best!"

Little Fatty: ...

A few friends: ...

This doesn't seem quite right... He didn't say he'd take us in, did he?

And... didn't you say before that we shouldn't rely on finding a patron, but on ourselves?

Woman... your name is fickle...

........

Meanwhile, as time moved on, the fact that Fang Ze had learned Sealing Thunder Fist in just one hour began to spread within the Security Bureau.

Just like Nan Yi and her friends' initial reaction, most people started discussing how long it had taken them to learn Sealing Thunder Fist.

Some learned it in more than 20 days, others in 30 days, and the fastest was around ten days.

Just as that female mentor had said, Martial Skills require hard work and unlike Awakening Abilities, can't be achieved overnight.
