NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24: Chapter 24
Looking at the students who had been intimidated and temporarily trained, Zephyr loudly ordered:
"Everyone, in pairs, will practice fighting.
Only those who can knock down their opponents can come to the cafeteria for breakfast."
After saying that, he left, put on his coat of justice and left.
After that, a new instructors came to arrange opponents for them.
But no one knows what the instructors are thinking.
The opponent arranged for Luffy is actually a girl.
And she is a girl he is very familiar with.
She has long dark blue hair and a serious face.
The upper body is a very ordinary marine uniform, but the early developed mountains make the uniform bulge.
The lower body is covered by the damn trousers, and you can only see that the legs are very long, but whether they are white and smooth remains to be confirmed.
"Hello, I'm Ain, please give me your advice."
"I'm Luffy, and I'd like to ask for your guidance."
The two of them briefly introduced themselves, and then each of them took up their positions.
Ain was holding a wooden sword, and it seemed that she had practiced swordsmanship a long time ago.
Although her opponent was a child like Luffy, she did not underestimate him at all and was ready to go all out.
On the other hand, Luffy was unarmed and did not hold any weapons.
He had already thought about how to quickly deal with his opponent.
Just as he was about to attack and defeat the girl in one move, the instructor suddenly spoke, causing him to stagger and almost fall.
"Student Luffy, you are forbidden to use your devil fruit ability.
As for student Ain, you have no restrictions, you can use it at will."
"What?!"
Before Luffy could say anything, Ain shouted excitedly.
It was unfair enough for a 14-year-old 'adult' to beat up this little kid.
Now the instructor didn't even allow him to use his fruit ability.
This was not only unfair, but if the students who didn't know the truth knew about it, they might even think she was playing some tricks.
"Instructor, I object. Since it is a battle, both sides should go all out.
If I don't let him use his devil fruit ability, I won't be happy even if I win. On the contrary, it is a shame."
Hearing this, the instructor looked at her with a complicated expression.
He shook his head and said:
"Little girl, you think too much, I am not biased towards you."
After saying that, the instructor did not explain further and continued:
"Don't underestimate your opponent, show your full strength.
Okay, let's get started!"
'Damn, you are playing double standards, right? Okay, I'll take note. '
Looking at Ain who was pursing her lips and looking like she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Luffy suddenly disappeared, and before Ain could come back to her senses, he hit her in the back of the neck with a chop of his hand, then he turned away gracefully.
"Done"
"Ugh, it hurts~"
Covering her neck, she stumbled forward a few steps, and turned her head in disbelief, looking at Luffy with a look of confusion and surprise.
Luffy was even more confused than her.
He turned his head to look at Ain who didn't faint, and suddenly three big question marks appeared in his head.
'Oh no, that's not right, that's not how it's played in TV dramas.
The instructor put his hand on his forehead and couldn't bear to watch any more.
"Idiot! Have you read too many comics?! If you want to knock someone out, what's the point of hitting the back of the neck?
If you want to hit someone, hit the carotid sinus on the side of the neck, idiot!"
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I'll do it again."
Luffy apologized repeatedly, and then raised his hand to hit Ain again.
But how could Ain let him humiliate her again?
Her face was red at this time, half of it was angry, and half of it was embarrassed when she thought of what she had just said.
She held the sword in her right hand, and condensed a strange purple light ball in her left hand.
"Bastard, don't try to use the same trick on me twice....."
Just as she was halfway through her words, Luffy appeared beside her as if by teleportation, and knocked her down easily with a single blow.
'Don't even think about using the same move twice, who do you think you are? A Saint Seiya? '
Thinking disdainfully, Luffy turned around again, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the cafeteria feeling very good.
The other students who were still practicing were dumbfounded, and they said in their hearts: Damn, this kid is so pretentious.
But when they looked at Ain lying unconscious on the ground, they were surprised and admired him at the same time.
'Only a child could do such a cruel thing as destroying a flower. Aren't he afraid of losing the right to choose their own spouse?'...
It was 20 minutes later when Ain woke up again.
After opening her eyes and looking at the white ceiling, Ain was briefly confused and then recalled what happened before she fainted.
In an instant, she tightly grasped the bed sheet, and her little face was so red that it seemed that water would drip out if she pinched it.
'Damn it, it's so shameful. I will never let that damn guy go!'
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why is your face so red?"
The sudden voice startled Ain.
She turned around in panic and saw the kid who easily defeated her sitting at the table, eating rice in a bowl bigger than his face. He looked at her curiously, as if he was looking at something interesting.
"No, nothing, why are you here?"
Ain suppressed her shame and asked while pressing her still aching neck.
He finished the rice in the bowl leisurely, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then Luffy stood up and said:
"Nothing, the instructor asked me to bring you some food. You still have 10 minutes to eat, and then you have to gather in the training yard.
Okay, I'm leaving, you continue."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back, without stopping at all.
Ain was stunned for a moment, a little bit unresponsive.
But reflexively, she still opened her mouth to thank him:
"Thank you, I won't lose next time."
"Well, I'll hold you to that."
He replied indifferently, and the door was slammed shut.
'Weird kid. '
With a word in her mind, Ain got up from the bed and walked to the table.
But she saw only vegetables on the table, and the meat and other things were all leftovers. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth...
After finishing her meal quickly and sending the dishes back to the cafeteria, Ain continued to join the training.
But for some reason, her eyes began to focus on Luffy intentionally or unintentionally. She would often compare herself with him in certain training. But the more she paid attention, the more frightened she was. No matter in which aspect or which training, Luffy's performance was far better than hers.
Even if she exhausted all her strength, she could not see the hope of catching up with him.
But the more so, the stronger her desire to win.
For the next three months, she stared at Luffy's every move.
Luffy, who had a keen sense of perception, always felt like a thorn in his back, and began to wonder if someone was trying to murder him.
