A few days later, Lu Yu Chen and Xuan Mo both received their enrollment letter from their universities respectively . Both schools had indicated clearly on the letter that students were encouraged to increase their exercise regime, overall training and the likes during the holidays
This wasnât an issue for Xuan Mo . Lu Yu Chen on the other was a little worried . While heâd always felt that he was good at fighting, itâs another matter altogether if he were to go up against police officers who had wielded real guns and blades . Not only so, now that heâs also seen how good Xuan Mo was, the few moves he knew were really nothing compared to them .
Heâd actually wanted to join a Taekwondo class but was concerned that the flowery moves taught were useless in a real battle . There were lots of Taekwondo classes nowadays that had evolved into self-defense classes catering to the female population, and those wonât do him much good . Sanda on the other hand apparently was pretty useful .
The national competition for StarCraft ended one month before NCEE . With Xuan Mo leading them, Thunder team easily clinched first place in the nationals . Though their points wasnât high, they won every battle . Even the seed team Chatter couldnât stop them . While everyone was shocked at this dark horse, after watching their battle recording, they couldnât help but admire how strong the team was instead .
StarCraft International League began in three days . Ah La Lei was so excited he insisted that everyone should increase their practice duration every single day . Actually, as long as Xuan Mo was able to maintain her normal standard, everyone else would be able to perform fine . Itâs not wrong even to say that they were the most relaxed team among the others .
Lu Yu Chen surprisingly didnât have his mind full of StarCraft . Instead, he pouring over the thought of registering for a Taekwondo class, and this had Ah La Lei incredibly unhappy .
âYou have one afternoon off to settle this! Go check out the training centres in town, drop this thought if youâre unhappy . If you are satisfied, just go ahead and register right there and then! Whatâs there to stress about! I donât want to see you hanging around here but your soul flying elsewhere!â An angry Ah La Lei came over to chase Lu Yu Chen out when the latter once again lost a round against AI .
The free and idle Xuan Mo who decided to pop by and torture some blue planet beings stood after a moment of contemplation when she saw Lu Yu Chen being thrown out: âIâll go with you . â
âMo Mo!â Lu Yu Chen was thoroughly moved . His previous little sister had never been this proactive . âHow considerate of you!â
Xuan Mo walked out without a word . She just wanted to see what the blue planet beings were capable of .
The two of them started looking from the nearby Taekwondo centre that had quite some well-know training courses . The classes were pretty large-scale . The centre had four storeys . Other than the ground floor meant to receive customers, the other storeys were split according to the training levels . The highest storey was where the most advanced classes were held .
The two of them toured the centre as the assistant introduced . Persuaded by Lu Yu Chen, the assistant brought them to the fourth storey . There were over twenty people inside sparring against each other . Some of them even had a black belts, and they were all youths in their twenties .
âTrainer Lu is the instructor here . Heâs the runner-up of the National Taekwondo Competition, and had been on multiple exchanges to Korea before; not only is he strong, heâs pretty well-known there too . The black belt students you see are all his students . â Proud, the assistant pointed at the middle-aged male instructing a girl in the centre . The said person wasnât bulky, in fact, he was very lean and toned, and commanded an authoritative air .
Lu Yu Chen was immediately interested . He asked: âCan I join this classes directly?â
The assistant smiled: âEveryone who comes up to take a look asks this question . The answer is no . Trainer Lu only teaches students with a red belt and above . Take a look, all the students here have red or red-black belts . â
âOhâŚâ Lu Yu Chen was very disappointed, âI donât have the time to start from the basics, Iâm leaving for the capital to study once the semester starts, are there any crash courses available?â
âThereâs no such thing as crash courses for skills like these,â the assistant smiled as he introduced, âbut as long as you have some foundations, our instructors can test you and see if youâre fit to cut in to join an ongoing class . â
âThat doesnât sound too bad!â Lu Yu Chen was excited, âcan you find an instructor to test me now?â
The assistant walked over to the side, pulled out his phone and started contacting . After which, he said: âThe other instructors are a little busy, trainer Lu will be coming down to help instead, he may be a little heavy handed, youâŚâ
âItâs fine itâs fine!â
âWhat about your girlfriend?â
âAh?â Lu Yu Chenâs eyes widened . He looked at the expressionless Xuan Mo and then back at the earnest-looking assistant, his face instantly flushing red . He quickly waved his hands: âShe she she she⌠sheâs my little sis!â
âOh, sisterâŚâ The two of you donât look alike at all! The assistant immediately adjusted . Even so, he still managed to make the two of them out to sound ambiguous: âWhat about your sister? Miss, are you interested?â
Xuan Mo nodded before taking a step backwards . âLet him go first . â
The assistant spoke to trainer Lu for a moment . When the latter heard that these two wanted to join an ongoing class halfway through, and wanted a crash course, his expression fell . âBoy, thereâs no such thing as crash courses when it comes to this . â
Lu Yu Chen smiled bitterly: âI know, but I donât have timeâŚâ
âHumph, come at me then . â After which, trainer Lu settled into a starting position .
