Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

These are the rules of this world.

In other words, no matter how Jiang Li trains his magic power, his meager total magic power will not change at all, so he can only train his physical fitness.

But at least he has a very powerful sword-cutting ability, and he also has a master and senior sister who are very good to him.

Compared to a certain person, I can be said to be lucky.

"Huh...huh..."

After jogging all the way to the main gate of the campus, Jiang Li was already a little out of breath, and his chest began to rise and fall, but he did not intend to stop. He wanted to rush out of the main gate and into the ramp.

This level of shortness of breath is commonplace for him.

It is still early morning.

There was still a hint of early spring coolness in the air, which brought a cold stimulation to his lungs when he breathed.

There was no one at the school gate——

No, that's not the case.

There was a figure standing in the corner of the school gate doing warm-up exercises, trying to wake up his sleeping body.

As if he heard the approaching panting, he stood up and cast a surprised look behind him.

He was a well-proportioned young man, about the same height as Jiang Li, but the muscle lines on his body were quite smooth. It was obvious that he must exercise regularly and his physical fitness must be much stronger than Jiang Li.

He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with the typical black hair and black eyes of an Oriental man, and was wearing a black sweatshirt.

Although his facial lines are very soft and his eyes are gentle, giving people the impression that he is easy to talk to, his whole body exudes an extraordinary aura of strength.

The two soon met eyes.

At this moment, both of them smelled a similar scent from each other, a scent that had become extremely sharp after being tempered.

Their eyes met for a moment, but then quickly looked away.

Jiang Li maintained his original speed and rushed out of the gate. After turning a corner, he entered the ramp and disappeared from the sight of the other black-haired boy.

"Is there anyone else in this academy who's training like me? And at this time before school starts..."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the black-haired boy, and then he woke up suddenly.

"They're the freshmen this year, right?"

He was very familiar with the other person's hidden sharp aura.

He bounced twice on the spot, and a look of defiance suddenly appeared on his face.

In this Pojun Academy, the chance of meeting people of the same mind is very rare. Involuntarily, he was influenced by the fighting instinct in his body, and there was some anticipation in his eyes.

He did not continue warming up on the spot, but instead used his body like a slingshot to launch himself out, rushing into the slope at an unimaginable speed and chasing after the figure in front.

…………

Twenty minutes later.

Jiang Li returned to the main gate of the campus, panting heavily like a dead dog.

His chest was heaving violently, his mouth was full of the taste of rust, even his eyes became vague, his legs were shaking like a sieve, and sweat was pouring down his body, soaking his sportswear.

But he forced himself not to fall down, but kept stepping on the spot to gradually slow down the muscle activity so as not to be tortured by muscle soreness the next day.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know your physical fitness was so... so poor..."

The black-haired boy caught up from behind and returned to the school gate.

But unlike Jiang Li who was almost exhausted, he was just breathing lightly, as if running five kilometers was no pain at all and a piece of cake.

With an apologetic look on his face, he apologized to Jiang Li sincerely.

But what he said was quite irritating, causing Jiang Li's eyes to twitch.

"...It has nothing to do with you... Huhu, it's just... me... being stupid, that's why... Huhu... I got provoked by you..."

"But if I hadn't provoked you, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Sorry, I got a little carried away when I saw someone like me."

"...Thank you... I'm all about the God of War, not the Minotaur."

"???"

Chapter 14 Fateful Encounter

2023-06-01

It was obvious that he had been easily provoked to fight against Jiang Li by running, and had a passionate look on his face as if he wanted to compete with him, but now he had a face full of doubts.

This black-haired boy was obviously very naive and had no idea what Jiang Li was saying.

He didn't understand, and Jiang Li didn't bother to explain. He just kept breathing like a bellows.

"Let's get to know each other again. My name is——"

Seeing Jiang Li's breathing gradually slow down, the black-haired boy stretched out his hand somewhat awkwardly and introduced himself.

"Kurogatsu Ikki, right? Descendant of the great hero Kurogane Ryoma."

Jiang Li took a deep breath, suppressing his heartbeat through breathing, gradually reducing his cardiopulmonary function, and then looked at the stunned boy opposite him.

"My name is Jiang Li, Nanxiang Jiang Li."

He also reached out and grabbed Kurogane Ikki's hanging wrist.

——Nanxiang.

The moment he heard this surname, Kurogane Ikki's expression froze in an instant.

From this brief encounter of just a few minutes, he smelled a scent of fate.

"You are very physically fit?"

Jiang Li stood up and looked at the other person with a hint of envy.

"I wouldn't call it strong, just so-so."

Kurogane Ikki let go of his hand, buried the rekindled desire to resist in his heart, and spoke very humbly.

“How many kilometers can you run?”

"It's about twenty kilometers round trip."

"……jogging?"

"There are also sprints. If you jog all the time, it won't be much of a workout."

What a monster!

It was just a morning jog, but within the limited half hour, he was able to run about 20 kilometers. Considering the combination of jogging and sprinting, his instantaneous burst of speed might be comparable to that of a car.

Considering that he was about to go to class, it was impossible for him to run to class like a dead dog. He must conserve some energy. I'm afraid running 20 kilometers would be easy for him.

Jiang Li was panting like a dead dog after running five kilometers in twenty minutes. During the run, he continued to exert his cardiopulmonary function, increase his explosive power, and exhaust his physical strength to the limit before he could barely finish the run.

The physical fitness of both sides is not at the same level at all.

Jiang Li was truly envious.

If he had the same physical strength as Kurogane Ikki, he would be able to use Absolute Speed much more freely.

The essence of absolute speed is to be absolutely faster than the opponent.

But the concept of "fast" is reflected in many aspects, such as the speed of swinging a knife, the speed of running, the speed of throwing, etc. If you really want to use it, there are still many ways to do it, and it is not limited to the lightning-fast move.

The lightning-fast move required maximum effort and was a blow that required all one's strength. If it failed, one would die, so the negative effects were greater than one could imagine.

But if it's just ordinary output, such as making your sword swing speed faster than the opponent's blocking speed, and integrating the ability into ordinary basic attacks, the negative effects will be much smaller.

When he had fought with Shinguji Kurono before, he had used his absolute speed to break through her arm defense and cut through her sleeve with his sword.

But even if it is the absolute speed of ordinary output, it is ultimately giving Jiang Li a speed that he did not originally have, and it still puts a considerable burden on the body.

If he had the same physical fitness as Kurogane Ikki, he would be able to use absolute speed more calmly and unscrupulously.

"Sports drink, do you need one?"

Seeing that Jiang Li was no longer panting, Kurogane Ikki took out a thermos from his backpack in the corner of the main entrance and handed it to Jiang Li in a friendly manner.

"Thanks."

Jiang Li took it without hesitation, removed the bottle cap, unscrewed the filter, and poured the slightly astringent drink into his mouth in big gulps.

"Give it back to you."

Ikki Kurogane took it again, put the filter and bottle cap back on, and put it in his backpack.

"You still want to run?"

Jiang Li saw this and immediately understood.

"Well, today's exercise is less than a quarter of what I usually do."

Kurogane Ikki's eyes flashed with determination as he muttered to himself, "It's a rare opportunity to participate in actual combat training this year. I must work harder!"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly.

Anyone who has watched the anime "The Fallen Knight" knows that the protagonist of this world is the boy in front of him - Ikki Kurogane. Unlike traditional school harem anime, this anime is essentially a pure love anime disguised as a harem, and it is very passionate.

After all, it is the center of this world. Jiang Li has consciously memorized various information about Kurogane Ikki, so he knows that he has many difficulties.

"Then keep going. I'm almost at my limit, so I'm leaving now."

Jiang Li had no intention of digging deeper. Although he was very interested in Kurogane Ikki, they were from the same school and there would be plenty of opportunities for them to meet in the future. He waved his hand and walked towards the teaching building without looking back.

"Nanxiang Jiangli, what a strange name... but it's Nanxiang."

Ikki Kurogane looked at the back of the boy who was leaving, with extremely complicated thoughts in his mind.

Theoretically speaking, since he is a descendant of the Black Iron Family, after meeting the direct descendant of the Fighting God, he should be unable to suppress the strong desire to confront him and regard him as his mortal enemy.

Kurogane Ryoma and Nango Torajiro.

Decades ago, these two people were from the Kurogane and Nanxiang families, and they made great contributions to world peace together during that chaotic era.

The two were close friends and also rivals. To people today, they were both legendary swordsmen.

His meeting with the young man Nanxiang Jiangli here might be fate.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Kurogane Ikki suddenly smiled bitterly again, and the expression on his face became extremely complicated.

After all, even if he still has the surname Heitie, that family probably no longer considers him as a family member. Even if the fate between Heitie and Nanxiang continues, it is impossible for it to come true on him.

For him now, instead of thinking about the fate between Kurogane and Nanxiang, it is better to focus on the upcoming "Seven Star Sword Dance Festival Representative Selection Battle".

He shook his head, driving away some distracting thoughts from his mind, and the fighting spirit reappeared in his eyes as he ran towards the slope again.

…………

"Where exactly is the student council room?"

On the other side, Jiang Li was walking around the school with a confused look on his face.

After finishing his morning exercise, he wanted to go back to the dormitory to take a shower and wash off the sweat, so he wandered around the campus, trying to find the student union room.

At this time, the disadvantages of the spacious campus environment became apparent. Jiang Li walked around the campus for more than ten minutes and could not find the student union office at all.

He also left the student handbook that allowed him to contact his senior sister in the dormitory because it was inconvenient to exercise.

"Wrong decision. I should have asked Kurogane Ikki just now."

Jiang Li had a gloomy face and had no choice but to continue walking around the school. Soon he saw a figure and hurriedly walked up to ask for directions.

"Student Council Room? I know, come with me!"

She seemed to be a female teacher. Her eyes lit up immediately when she saw Jiang Li. She took his hand enthusiastically and walked towards the destination.
