There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"Professional exorcist..." Li Nian looked at the ice chips on the ground thoughtfully, muttering to himself: "The gap of ten years of practice... seems to be a bit big."

Li Nian is convinced that he is a "genius" - he says this about himself without any intention or thought of boasting, it is just an objective fact, because he has countless genuine talents.

What is talent? In English, it is pronounced as “gift”, which means gift. So-called talent can be explained as a gift given by God.

Isn't that right? The high God gave him a "sword" - branded in his flesh and blood, transformed into knowledge, instinct, skill tree, etc. These are all real abilities, each of which symbolizes huge potential and is an opportunity that ordinary people can only encounter but not seek. If he is not a genius, who is a genius?

He dared to say that what he had learned these days was equivalent to two or three years of hard work for ordinary people. In fact, he not only knew how to make an ice crystal now, but also learned more things from the skill tree, including some practical techniques.

But Isayama only attacked once just now, and he didn't have time to use these skills, and was killed instantly.

What Li Nian cares about is not the temporary defeat, but the problems reflected in the defeat.

"It turns out that learning is one thing, but applying what you have learned is another..."

He understood this principle very well, but he did not experience it deeply.

Knowledge is a dead thing. It can only be used flexibly to adapt to situations and solve problems - this is also a part of practice. The defeat just now means that my practice is far from enough. In a nutshell, it is undoubtedly lacking in experience and awareness.

These two aspects actually account for the majority. Learning a lot is never as good as using it well. Using it well is a person's ability.

This decisive defeat made Li Nian suddenly sober up. He felt that he had been warned...

Li Nian reflected carefully.

Returning to the confrontation just now, he felt that he was not without the ability to fight.

There is undoubtedly time to react. From the moment he senses the attack, that is his precious time to strike back.

But the moment he was attacked, he became too nervous, his mind went blank, he wasted opportunities, made mistakes, and this was the direct cause of his defeat.

Although this is human nature and cannot be changed overnight, there are ways to solve the problem.

That is "Bing Xin".

Under the "Ice Heart", there is no joy or sorrow, no fear and no hesitation, just as calm as a frozen lake. At the same time, the mind is as clear as a mirror, and the brain works faster than ever. In that state, Li Nian can mobilize all the means he can think of, not to mention the immediate reaction, he can also arrange a set of counterattack procedures.

His biggest mistake was not entering "Bing Xin" at the first time.

Li Nian made an important summary.

"Next time you start a game, remember to buff yourself..."

Li Nian shook his head and stopped thinking about it and started cleaning the scene.

Although he spoke so powerfully, they actually did not make much noise. He waved his hand and turned the ice into water, which moistened the grass. The whole venue no longer looked like snow in September, but seemed much more normal. Li Nian thought that it would not cause any commotion, so he left the place with peace of mind and walked towards the teaching building.

The empty corner returned to silence - it should have been so, but as soon as Li Nian left, a new visitor arrived.

He is a thin boy with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing glasses.

He seemed to have come here with a purpose following the trail, and stopped at the place where Jianshan and Li Nian had fought. He stretched out his hand to the air in front of him, feeling a hint of coldness that shouldn't be there, and then lowered his head to look at the place where the grass leaves were stepped on and broken. He squatted down, picked up some water droplets on it, rubbed them on his fingertips, and said something in confusion.

"Isayama? Who did you fight with?"

……

……

Li Nian didn't know that someone had noticed the noise and went to the scene. He returned to the classroom and there was still some time before the morning meeting was to start.

Some people have already arrived in the class. Maybe it's because the new semester has just started and everyone is in a high mood. I feel like the rustling noise I hear outside the door is louder than yesterday.

Li Nian was about to go in with her schoolbag when she suddenly paid attention to some words in the gossip that came into her ears.

Words like "fighting", "hooligan" and "extreme road" often appear, and my own name is also mentioned.

Li Nian stood at the door for a while and listened for a while, then he realized that the commotion yesterday was seen by someone, and his face was also seen, and finally the news reached the class.

He sighed. There was nothing he could do about it, so he walked in slowly.

The subject of the conversation entered the room, and there was a pause in the conversation.

When Li Nian walked into the classroom yesterday, some people didn't recognize him. It was not until he had a conversation with a few people and admitted his identity in a few words that they realized he was Li Nian in a changed appearance. They knew his previous appearance, and compared it with the current one, this appearance has changed a lot, which made the class curious about him. Yesterday afternoon, the incident was seen by a few people again and spread back, and he became more of a topic of conversation. Now when Li Nian appears in the classroom, almost everyone's eyes are fixed on him.

To be honest, he didn't really like being so conspicuous.

Li Nian deliberately ignored all this and walked towards his seat calmly. At this time, someone greeted him stiffly.

"Good morning, Li Nian!"

Yuigahama smiled and waved at him.

Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and responded, "Good morning, Yuigahama-san."

Yuigahama seemed very satisfied with just a greeting and nodded vigorously.

Yuigahama was standing in the circle of live-action people who had gathered. A girl with curly blonde hair named Miura, who was sitting in the center of the circle and playing with her cell phone, also glanced at Li Nian curiously.

"I really can't tell that he is the gloomy man from before?"

"Yes...right?"

"What did you do during the summer vacation, Yui? Do you know?"

"Oh? I don't know..."

"Hmm~ Really?"

It seemed like he was just asking casually and he immediately lost interest in Li Nian.

Aki hadn't arrived yet, and except for Yuigahama, everyone else seemed to be a little hesitant. No one came to greet Li Nian or ask about anything - this was not a good thing, but at this moment he was somewhat relieved. Only five of his classmates arrived, and they looked like they were not interested in anyone. I don't know if they didn't hear or care about the "rumors" about Li Nian.

Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to greet Wu Geng.

"Good morning, Gogen-san."

Wu Geng glanced at him coldly, making it clear that he didn't want to have anything to do with him, and then he looked away and stopped looking at him.

As cool as ever.

Li Nian didn't mind. Seeing Wu Geng's classmate being the same as always, he felt a little inspired.

He can adapt to any change by remaining unchanged. In fact, he just wants to maintain a friendly relationship with the people around him. Come to think of it, there is no need to care too much. Just abide by the principle of courtesy in dealing with others.

Chapter 35: Uncovering the Secret

That being said, the sense of distance now... is really a bit subtle.

Li Nian looked around.

Those who glanced at him furtively would naturally retreat when they met his gaze.

But he could still feel the gazes from other directions, and among the restrained and quiet conversations, his name, Li Nian, still appeared.

It feels like I'm being treated as some kind of rare animal and kept at a distance.

This feeling made Li Nian feel uncomfortable...but he understood that this was a normal phenomenon.

He was a minor character with little presence in his previous life, but he appeared in a new look in the new semester, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

Moreover, the predecessor had no acquaintances in this class except An Yi. Even the people sitting at the same table had to be introduced to each other by Li Nian. It can be said that he had almost no interpersonal relationships of his own and was a truly marginalized person. Li Nian had to integrate into this group in the second semester of the second year when interpersonal relationships had already been established... It was not that it was difficult, but it would take some time for them to gradually get used to his existence...

(I wonder how long I will have to feel this piercing gaze...)

In this situation, being too sensitive becomes a burden.

Li Nian sighed.

Fortunately, not everyone keeps a distance from him.

For example, Aki and Totsuka, who came later, greeted him with a smile. Sato, who was entering school at the sound of the bell, also pulled out a stool and sat down. When Li Nian lazily said good morning to him.

Their natural attitude seemed very common, but it touched Li Nian a little. He responded to them with a smile and felt a little relieved in this small interaction.

Unconsciously, he calmed down, and the slight anxiety in Li Nian's heart had disappeared completely without him noticing.

The first class was Chinese with Mr. Hiratsuka.

After a long absence, Li Nian returned to school and resumed her studies. She had already decided to attend classes seriously.

Although his original intention of returning to the academy was that high school graduation was a basic academic requirement, and he had vaguely determined that he would become an exorcist in the future, if he did so, he could still qualify for graduation even if he did not study hard. However, Li Nian certainly did not intend to do so - there was no complicated reason, he just did not want to waste his life.

Moreover, he was aware that after the transformation, not only his strength and physique had been enhanced, but his mind and spirit were also extremely clear, and his concentration, memory and comprehension were all very terrifying. When he was learning skills, he felt that his learning ability was a bit terrifying, and he felt that he might be able to easily become a top student for fun - this was a prestigious title that he could only yearn for before. Thinking of this, he was a little eager to try.

So when Mr. Hiratsuka was teaching, he would look at Li Nian attentively a few times while lecturing. He could see that he was looking at the podium very intently, taking notes with a pen, and looking like a good student who was studying hard. He felt very pleased, thinking to himself that this boy did not have such a learning attitude before, but now that he has encountered a big change, he has indeed changed a lot.

But Li Nian listened seriously for ten minutes, but the more he listened, the more boring he found it.

It’s not because I’m tired of studying every second, but because I feel it’s too inefficient…

Indeed, as Li Nian guessed, he now has a clear memory and quick comprehension. When he listens carefully to what Teacher Hiratsuka says on the stage, his mind works quickly and he can understand it thoroughly in an instant and remember it in his mind - not only that, when he reads the textbook once, what Teacher Hiratsuka is going to say next will also emerge in his thinking.

When you are one step faster than the lecturer, you have to wait for her, and this waiting is very unbearable.

Li Nian felt very uncomfortable.

There's a very strong feeling of being out of sync.

Too slow and too inefficient.

Li Nian temporarily turned his eyes away from the podium, frowned and rubbed his nose.

At this time, he actually wished he were a little more stupid.

Is this the legendary trouble of genius?

Maybe self-study is more efficient...

He felt a gentle force from behind, and Totsuka was tapping his shoulder, and then he heard her soft voice behind him.

"Student Li Nian doesn't understand either?"

Li Nian was stunned and shook his head: "...No."

"What should I do? I also feel that the new semester courses seem to be more difficult."

"..."

Li Nian glanced over and saw Totsuka's cute face with a sad expression. It seemed that she was not able to keep up with the course progress very well. It seemed that she misunderstood Li Nian's distressed expression and regarded him as a fellow sufferer.

This made Li Nian not know how to answer, so he just said

"Take your time. There's no rush."

"Is that so...That's right."

Totsuka seemed to have accepted what Li Nian said. He stopped talking to him and tried hard to listen to Mr. Hiratsuka's lecture.

Li Nian was interrupted by him and her mind was no longer on the class. She felt bored.

What are others doing?

He looked around.

Sobu High School is a school for college entrance exams, and there are many students who want to enter college. Most of them listen carefully in class, but there is a small number of people who do not, and that group reflects the various aspects of life.

For example, people who are sleepy and don't know what they did last night, people whose eyes are wandering and obviously in a trance, people who are secretly reading other novels and comics, and people who are using books as a cover to play with their phones...

This is a classroom scene that can be found in any country in the world...

Li Nian missed it very much.

He glanced around and saw Wu Geng standing next to him, and found that she was concentrating on writing something.

The profile seen here seems to be very serious and focused.

She was already a beauty with delicate features, and now she had an even more special charm. Li Nian couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. At first he thought she was taking notes seriously, but soon discovered that this was not the case.

Because she didn't even look up at Mr. Hiratsuka who was giving the lecture, she just buried her head in writing something on the paper.

Li Nian thought it was his illusion. He glanced at her sideways and his gaze paused for a moment. He found that she really did not look up. Her attention was completely on the notebook on the table. She had been writing something. Suddenly she stopped writing, showing a troubled expression. She propped her chin with the end of the pen and bit her lip, as if she was troubled by something. But soon her eyes lit up as if she had figured it out. The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile, and she continued to write and draw on the notebook.

Li Nian had never seen these changes in expression on her face before, and she felt as if her eyes had brightened.

What are you writing...

Li Nian looked curiously at her notebook, and with her amazing eyesight, she could clearly see the densely packed words...

——In front of the girl, the fallen angel spread his black wings and protected her tightly behind him. His back looked so solid and generous.

——The dark man made a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will protect you."
