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

Chapter 41 Direction

After getting up early and washing up, Li Nian went to the courtyard and started his "morning exercise"

It was the early morning before dawn, when darkness and chill were still in the air. For Li Nian, this period of time when no one in Sakurasou was awake yet meant "no one would disturb us". He used this time to occupy the empty courtyard and study and consolidate his skill tree - that is, to practice.

He gradually began to get used to this routine.

The morning air was very fresh. Li Nian took a deep breath and felt his mind became much clearer. He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and silently recited the three words "skill tree" in his mind.

Countless points of light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and a towering tree made up of countless nodes appeared in front of him, and at the bottom, there was a "small tree" that had been lit up and was shining.

What has been learned and what has not been learned.

Comparing the vague darkness and the flickering light, Li Nian couldn't help but think of a sentence.

Knowledge is like a circle. Inside the circle is what you already know, and outside the circle is the unknown world.

The more you know, the more you realize your own ignorance.

If he had followed the previous approach, Li Nian should have seized the time and found a new skill to learn now, and started practicing after he understood it. The reason why he still sighed like this now is because Li Nian suddenly felt a little confused.

Yesterday's encounter with Isayama made the possibility of becoming an exorcist directly and realistically before his eyes.

Although Isayama probably thought that this goal was too far-fetched for Li Nian, so he said unscrupulously, "As long as I agree, you can become an exorcist," but for Li Nian, he felt that this goal was not that far away.

It was precisely because the goal of "becoming an exorcist" became so close and within reach that Li Nian suddenly thought that he should start thinking about the future - that is, what would happen after becoming an exorcist.

Up to now, he had only been studying the skill tree with the idea that he "must become an exorcist", but he had never seriously thought about what would happen after becoming an exorcist.

Isayama said that an exorcist's job is to deal with spiritual disasters and must face life-threatening dangers.

Regarding the part about spiritual disasters, Li Nian's first thought was that he could start with the simple things and gradually accumulate experience to help himself grow - but now thinking about it, Li Nian realized that he took this idea for granted and ignored the really "difficult" part.

All disasters related to "spirits" are spiritual disasters. Indeed, most of the common ones are trivial and can be easily handled. But apart from them, the remaining ones are the ones that cause real huge disasters and are difficult and hard to deal with...

In Li Nian's memory, his previous incarnation's knowledge of this part was actually quite blank.

Exorcists seem to be secretive. Although we often hear in the news that a spiritual disaster somewhere was dealt with by someone from the Onmyoji Bureau, the specific details are not made public. The public knows the results but not the reasons, and actually has no idea what the specifics are.

When that time comes, what will you need to face?

Li Nian's mind moved, and he called up the panel next to the skill tree, quietly looking at the five talents on it.

Martial arts mastery, weapon proficiency, spell understanding, spiritual affinity, enhanced perception -

These five talents involve different aspects, but they complement and are connected to each other.

A word naturally emerged in Li Nian's mind, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.

"warrior……"

God gave him a sword.

What is a sword? It is a warrior's weapon, used for fighting.

If you think about it carefully, there are many skills in the skill tree that are extremely lethal.

An obvious fact that had been ignored by Li Nian emerged.

Now that he has the sword, he needs to find someone to fight.

with who?

For those who practice justice, their enemies are of course the so-called evil forces.

for example?

Ghosts, monsters, demons and goblins.

What is an exorcist? An exorcist is someone who kills demons and exterminates evil spirits.

Li Nian began to imagine the scene of a fight with some big devil until death.

And that enemy is——

He remembered the rat demon that transformed into a human that he met that day.

——Isn’t it a bit too petty to use the sword given by God to kill such a weak enemy? Do you really want to kill him?

Shaking his head in a puzzled manner, Li Nian always felt that his imagination of the scene was not real. He smiled... but soon he restrained his smile.

He has reached a stage in learning the skill tree. The more he understands "that world", the more he realizes the dangers and the huge power it contains. This thinking makes him feel that he should clarify a direction.

He wants to develop into a "warrior" and learn things related to "combat".

Li Nian's eyes fell on several nodes of the skill tree.

As for who is the most awesome warrior?

Of course, the most powerful one is the all-round warrior who can fight both near and far, resist, attack, heal and assist.

So the final conclusion is that you have to learn everything.

……

……

Li Nian learned a little bit and time passed by unknowingly. Suddenly, he felt a movement, opened his eyes and looked towards the corridor.

Kanda yawned, walked out sleepily, and stretched lazily.

Li Nian turned his head to look at the sky and found that the sun had risen and the sunlight was spreading down. It seemed that some time had passed.

"Hey, Kanda."

It seemed that Li Nian greeted him, and Kanda saw him standing under the tree in the courtyard. He blinked his eyes with difficulty, and then he seemed to react dimly and said good morning.

“I got up early today too~~~~haha~~”

"It's just normal early to bed and early to rise."

Li Nian said this casually, and Kanda suddenly fell silent, revealing a sad expression. He turned his head and looked towards the corridor. Li Nian guessed something when he saw his expression.

"…Being pestered by the senior again?"

“You’re right.” Kanda smiled bitterly. “I almost got dragged out all night again. It’s a miracle that I can sleep in my own bed. I seem to remember that Ren dragged Senior Misaki away and asked her to go back to her room to sleep, but I can no longer tell whether it was a dream or reality.”

"You've worked so hard."

"Yeah...why doesn't the senior bother you?"

"…Maybe it's because I locked the door properly?"

"…Misaki-senpai always breaks in through the window."

"..."

Li Nian asked what the heck was that crude elevator he saw outside Kamiigusa's window. Was it used to illegally break into the dormitory of Kanda who lived downstairs?

"Then you should lock the windows too."

——"Hey, hey? Being young is good. Everyone gets up so straightforwardly."

As he was talking, a voice was heard. Then it was Teacher Chihiro who came over.

"Then I'll go to school first."

Li Nian greeted her and didn't want to say much. She walked past the two of them and prepared to go to school.

Teacher Chihiro glanced at Li Nian's back, looked at him for a while as if examining him, and suddenly turned to Kanda and said.

"Kanda, I want to tell you something. Can I entrust Mashiro to you? Just bring her to the staff room."

"Well, it's the first day of class anyway, I'll help her lead the way."

Kanda didn't think too much and simply agreed.

Chihiro was still worried, so she leaned forward and tapped Kanda's chest with her fingers.

"Will you really bring her here? Will you take responsibility and bring her here?"

"I said I know."

"Very well, I'll leave it to you. I'm really counting on you."

"It's really annoying."

I don't know why Chihiro emphasized this so much, but after being repeatedly asked, Kanda waved his hand with an impatient expression.

Chapter 42: Morning Interlude

After watching Chihiro leave, Kanda looked at the clock in the corridor. The hands pointed to seven forty.

Not sensing Shiina's presence coming down from the second floor, Kanda hesitated for a moment and decided to go see what was going on. After saying "excuse me", he reluctantly stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor where the girls lived.

Walking up the creaking stairs, Kanda began to feel uneasy. He was not actually that bad at dealing with girls. At this moment, he imagined the girl wearing pajamas and sleeping in his head, and he had an inexplicable expectation.

When he arrived at the door of Mashiro's room, Kanda was very nervous, and his voice became high-pitched and distracted.

"Hey, hey! Shiina! Are you up? You'll be late if you don't get up!"

But no response.

This time, Sorata knocked on the door and shouted even louder.

"Shiina! Wake up!"

He knocked harder. Knock, knock, knock.

The cruel thing is that the only response I got was silence.

Kanda reached out and grabbed the door handle, and suddenly came to his senses. This wasn't Misaki-senpai's room, so how could it not be locked...

He unconsciously exerted a little force, and the door made a click and was easily pushed open.

……

……

On the other hand, Li Nian did not go to the dojo to look for Jianshan's reservation, nor did he want to face the gazes of the whole class again, which made him uncomfortable, so he planned to check out the school today.

There was still a lot of spare time, so he found bread and milk in the kitchen, went back to his room, and killed time by eating breakfast and reading a book.

——“Aaaaaaaaaah!”

A long scream suddenly came from upstairs, and Li Nian was so scared that she almost dropped the cup full of milk.

Li Nian threw the things on the table, slammed the door and rushed out like a whirlwind, ran up to the second floor, and saw at a glance that the door of Room 202, where Shiina had stayed yesterday, was wide open.

"what happened--"

Li Nian ran to the door and looked inside. He was stunned and the words on his lips were stuck.

The scene before my eyes was completely different from the tidy room I remembered last night.

Clothes, underwear, books, and comics were scattered on the floor. The carpet was invisible, as if it had been swept by a tornado.

——What was even more shocking than all this was that in the middle of this pile of underwear, Kanda was throwing the naked Shiina to the ground.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head stiffly.

Li Nian: “…”

Kanda suddenly got up from the ground, his face flushed, and covered his eyes with one hand. He turned around, not daring to look at Shiina on the ground, and with the other hand, he randomly grabbed the Sobu High School uniform next to him and threw it over. "The clothes are for you! Put them on! Put them on quickly! Li Nian, you have to believe what you see..."

Li Nian turned around, took out his cell phone, dialed a number, and started pressing the screen.

1——1——0.

"Wait! Wait! Since the questions and answers are useless, are we going to call the police?!"

"I think calling the police is the only correct thing to do in this situation."

"It's a misunderstanding! Listen to my explanation! Listen to my explanation!" Kanda screamed: "I didn't do anything!"

"This is what you say every time the villains are caught committing crimes."

Li Nian said coldly, then pressed on the screen and put it to his ear.

"No--!!"

My life is ruined.
