Armor Guardians

Chapter 9 Two Months Later
Because the martial arts school is small, the headmaster always has to personally provide instruction whenever students need it.

For example, right now, the curator was a little annoyed to see Xia Qianmeng standing by with cleaning tools, so he simply said to her, "Come here~"

With a question in mind, Xia Qianmeng put down her tools and jogged over: "Curator?"

"Okay, take this. You can be a sparring partner here whenever you have time." With that, the gym leader handed the hand target to Xia Qianmeng and then stood aside.

"Director, but this isn't my job!"

Xia Qian wanted to return the hand target to the curator, but the curator refused: "It's already good enough that you're working here, stop complaining~"

After saying that, the curator turned around and stood aside: "Continue training~"

Seeing this, Xia Qianmeng could only resign herself to her fate, looking at the student she was sparring with, and then raised her hand target...

Bang bang bang bang bang...

The trainees' strikes were very powerful. Even though Xia Qianmeng used hand targets for protection, the aftereffects still made her feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Finally, Xia Qianmeng lost her grip on the target and was kicked in the body by a student, falling to the side in a disheveled state.

Glancing at Xia Qianmeng lying on the ground, the curator coldly said, "What a piece of trash. Now go clean up that garbage."

Hearing this, Xia Qianmeng could only endure the pain and stand up, then silently clean up the pieces of wood she had just placed aside.

Xia Qianmeng dared not complain. What did it matter if she was treated unfairly? Just as the curator said, she needed this job. If she lost it, he might not be able to find another one.

After taking out the trash, Xia Qianmeng returned to her corner and waited to be called. During the lunch break, Xia Qianmeng didn't go out to buy steamed buns to fill her stomach as usual, but instead lay down at the martial arts gym to catch up on sleep.

Xia Qianmeng was too tired to eat. Buying steamed buns would cost money, so she might as well just go to sleep. Besides, she wouldn't be hungry if she fell asleep.

After sleeping for two hours, Xia Qianmeng finally felt much more awake and less groggy than in the morning.

In the afternoon, I continued working to distract myself from my hunger. After get off work, I went home, took a shower, and then went to the convenience store to take over my shift.

Although it was tough and tiring, Xia Qianmeng felt that she had a very fulfilling life every day. Most importantly, she felt great about earning money to support her younger sister.

This kind of life has become Xia Qianmeng's normal state. Although she was not used to it at first, she got used to it after a while.

As a result, Xia Qianmeng's health deteriorated significantly, and she became noticeably thinner.

But Xia Qianmeng didn't care about any of that. She knew all too well that her irregular schedule would seriously affect her, but so what? Under societal pressure, she already considered herself a useless person, so she figured she might as well exhaust herself to fulfill her sister's needs.

At the very least, he should let his parents see when they come back that he has taken good care of his younger sister and fulfilled his responsibility as an older brother.

After two months, the Dragon Group finally investigated all the girls who matched the characteristics. However, something unexpected happened to the Dragon Group: none of the girls were the summoners of the new armor.

As a member of the Dragon Group, Xia Qianxue would naturally wander around her neighborhood in her spare time to try her luck, but she didn't go home because she didn't want to see her useless brother.

At 10:30 p.m., Xia Qianxue went out for another stroll, but she still didn't find the new armor. Disappointed, she went to a convenience store and bought a drink to comfort herself.
