Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 162: Chapter 130: Sports Meet, Meteor

"Go, Senior Sister Lu!"

From a distance, Xiao Yu stood up. He waved and shouted, his voice carrying across the entire spectator stands. Many people turned their heads to look at the very young boy.

Su Xing sat nearby. Watching the scene, he seemed to have a thought. He turned to Su Yu beside him and asked,

"Yu, isn’t school in session? How come you’re not in class?"

"Bro, Spiritual Qi has been revived. People with my status don’t have to go to school every day anymore."

Su Yu glanced at the parents in the crowd around them. Using a voice transmission technique, he sent his words directly into Su Xing’s mind with a hint of resignation.

"Oh, is that how it is..."

Su Xing gave his younger brother a surprised look. After a moment’s thought, he realized it made perfect sense.

Before the Spiritual Qi revival was formally announced, Extraordinary Beings like them who maintained peace couldn’t reveal themselves. They had to hide in plain sight, living as ordinary people. Students had to attend school, and those with jobs had to go to work.

But now, a special organization had announced the revival of Spiritual Qi. Extraordinary Beings had become an entirely new social class. Those who possessed Extraordinary powers and were willing to join the government were entitled to better treatment, but they also had to shoulder greater responsibilities.

"What are you looking at?"

Yao suddenly realized Lu Anning wasn’t listening to her at all. Her gaze was fixed on a young man in the stands. A sly grin spread across Yao’s face as she teased,

"You like him?"

"Like him?"

Lu Anning froze for a second, not quite processing what Yao was saying. She just repeated the words dumbly and then asked,

"Like what?"

"Aha! I knew it! No wonder you’ve been acting so different. You’ve found yourself a secret boyfriend!"

"He’s super handsome, though. I’ve gotta say, you have good taste."

"..."

It took Lu Anning a moment to realize what Yao was talking about. Her face immediately flushed red as she retorted,

"He’s my coach! I was just saying hi. If you’re into that whole taboo romance thing, leave me out of it!"

"A coach? Even better!"

Hearing this, Yao got even more excited to gossip. Lu Anning tried to argue, but it was no use. She could only sigh in resignation and quietly listen as Yao spun wild theories next to her.

Once this sort of thing started, it was best not to explain too much, because it was impossible to clear things up. Finally, Yao seemed to think of something. She stopped her gossiping, squeezed Lu Anning’s hand, and said with a smile,

"Ahem, don’t be mad, okay?"

"You’re not going to lose to Cao Qing later, are you?"

"Why?"

Lu Anning gave Yao a confused look. The girl jumped from topic to topic so fast it was making Lu Anning’s head spin.

"There’s no way you’ll lose if you fight seriously. Just tell me first, are you going to go easy on them?"

"I won’t go easy. I have to beat Cao Qing to qualify for the city’s Sword Dao tournament. I want the extra points for my college entrance exams next year."

"Good. I made a bet with some people. A bunch of people in the group chat were saying you’re not as good as Cao Qing, right? Well, I said you’d definitely win. If you do, they have to run ten laps around the track in nothing but their underwear. If you lose..."

Yao trailed off, then paused before continuing.

"You definitely won’t lose, right?"

"Don’t worry."

Lu Anning smiled. "I definitely won’t let you have to go for a run in your underwear."

It wasn’t arrogance on Lu Anning’s part; it was just incredibly difficult for her to lose. Unless a Tier Two Martial Artist suddenly appeared in the school, no one could defeat her in a Sword Dao competition.

In her sword,

she had absolute, unshakeable confidence.

Seeing Lu Anning’s confidence, Yao broke into a sly grin, secretly pulled out her phone, and started laying down more smack talk.

「About fifteen minutes later.」

The principal’s speech finally ended, thus announcing the official start of this year’s sports festival.

After the sprints, distance races, relays, standing long jump, shot put, medicine ball throws, high jump, long jump, and other events had all concluded,

the sports festival arrived at its most thrilling and spectacular event: the Sword Dao competition.

Swordsmanship Students were a unique category of athlete exclusive to Cang City High School. While most high schools supported student-athletes, they were typically in track and field, swimming, or various ball sports. The existence of Swordsmanship Students was rare.

As a result, the Sword Dao competition was an event unique to Cang City High School. It was also, without a doubt, the single most anticipated event of the entire sports festival for the students.

However, before the competition began, the school specially arranged a 4x50 relay race for the faculty and staff to warm up the atmosphere.

Taking advantage of the time during the relay race, Lu Anning ran up to the spectator stands to meet with Su Xing and the others.

"The competition is about to start. Aren’t you going to prepare?"

Shen Ruyun didn’t know the extent of Lu Anning’s abilities, so she was feeling a little nervous for her. Seeing that Lu Anning wasn’t preparing even though her competition was about to begin, she quickly gave her a reminder.

"It’s fine, Ruyun. I’m very strong."

Seeing Lu Anning so confident, a stark contrast to her usual girlish demeanor, Shen Ruyun was taken aback and didn’t press the issue.

After all, you’re bound to be more confident in your area of expertise. As a high school student herself, Shen Ruyun could certainly understand that feeling.

"That person... is he also your classmate?"

Su Xing pointed to a corner and suddenly spoke.

In the direction Su Xing pointed, a boy in a school uniform was lurking in a corner. He was secretly staring at Lu Anning, but his gaze didn’t hold the warmth of a crush or admiration. Instead, it felt tinged with dislike and ostracization.
