St. Paul's Academy's fighting classes are held on the third floor of the teaching building. There are several large classrooms that can accommodate a hundred people. In addition, there are many small classrooms designed like a gym for students to practice freely. It's just that small classrooms need to register and make an appointment in advance to facilitate the unified management of the school.
Claire reserved a classroom in advance, and after dinner, he called Xi Wei to the third floor. From time to time, the sound of students fighting during practice can be heard in the corridor. It is obvious that everyone is very enthusiastic about the fighting class, especially the senior students. In order to prepare for the 18-year-old university exam, they must work hard in the fighting class.
Fortunately, the teaching building is huge, and there are many small classrooms on the third floor. Claire and Xi Wei came to the end of the corridor side by side. The two entered the room together. Claire locked the door with his backhand, and then smiled and said, "Come on, let's start. "
The two of them took out the loose clothes for fighting classes from their bags and changed into them. Xi Wei looked back at Claire and said, "I'll teach you the most basic moves first."
The child in front of him looked serious, clenched his fists tightly, and stood in a very standard posture. While doing the movements, he explained patiently: "When you punch, you don't need much strength by relying on your hands alone. You also need to rely on your waist, shoulders, Thighs, coordinate the movements of all parts of the body in order to exert the strongest strength."
"First of all, we must achieve the correct punching posture and learn to exert force in an instant. That is to say, punching must have explosive power."
As Xi Wei said, he clenched his right hand and punched the sandbag in front of him decisively. He heard a loud "bang", and the sandbag flew away with his punch!
Claire: "…"
This guy's explosive power is really astonishing. In addition, he had been acting for a long time during the fighting class during the day. At this time, he didn't need to pretend to be himself in front of Claire who knew everything. !
"My master told me when he was teaching me that the key to punching is fast, accurate, ruthless, and steady. You start with 'fast'. Follow the action I just made, and hit the sandbag in front of you ten times quickly. Every time, the posture of each punch must be standard, and I will help you count." After Xi Wei finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Claire seriously.
When he was apprenticed to a teacher, he learned every movement very seriously. Now, as a teacher to teach Claire, Xi Wei naturally taught him very patiently.
Facing the serious eyes of little Xi Wei, Claire couldn't help smiling, nodded, and said, "Okay, teacher."
Xi Wei asked in surprise, "You call me teacher?"
Claire smiled and said, "Of course, it's too extravagant to invite you, a teacher with a black belt in karate, to teach me personally, and you don't charge me tuition."
Xi Wei patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Hurry up and practice."
"En." Claire stood beside her, and started punching according to the posture Xi Wei had taught her just now.
The movement of punching is not something that can be practiced once or twice. Xi Wei's goal is to make Claire punch ten times in a row, which is not too difficult. After Claire finished hitting ten times, Xi Wei walked up behind him, raised his arm and instructed himself: "Keep your wrist as flat as possible, and keep your fist in line with your arm. Yes, that's it."
In order to personally guide the movements, Xi Wei stood behind Claire, almost holding Claire in his arms.
Sensing the little guy behind him who was earnestly teaching her, Claire's heart warmed. She resisted the urge to turn around and hug him tightly, and carefully followed Xi Wei's guidance to correct her posture.
"Very good, this punch is very standard, keep it up, and do another twenty times."
"Um."
Claire hit another twenty times, and Xi Wei nodded and said, "Fifty hits in a row."
He was obviously gradually increasing the intensity of training, and Claire felt a little tired physically, especially her arms were so sore that she seemed unable to exert herself.
This body is indeed not as strong as other Alphas due to severe anemia at birth. In addition, Mrs. Grace loves her son very much, she held Claire in her arms all day when she was a child, and didn't let him do more sports or exercise—but it doesn't matter, from now on, all this will change!
Claire took a deep breath, her eyes froze, and she quickly threw out punches one after another.
Xi Wei watched him sweat profusely from the side, and didn't stop, continuing to watch the time and help him count.
"Forty-one, forty-two... very good, keep your wrists flat and your feet steady..."
Practicing kung fu always has some hardships at the beginning, and the strength of masters is gradually accumulated over time, and there is no quick fix. When Xi Wei first started practicing martial arts, he often pulled his muscles, his whole body was in pain, and he couldn't even sleep at night, but he gritted his teeth and persisted. He believed that Claire could also overcome this difficulty.
Although his clothes were soaked in sweat and his arms were sore and limp, Claire still insisted on following the posture Xi Wei taught him, and quickly finished fifty times before stopping.
Xi Wei took a towel and handed it to him: "Wipe off your sweat, and come back after a rest."
Claire sat cross-legged beside him to wipe off his sweat. Seeing his sweat-soaked blond hair, Xi Wei couldn't help laughing, and said, "Are you tired?"
"Yeah." Claire deliberately tilted her head and leaned on Xi Wei's shoulder, "I'm a little tired."
Considering that Claire was in poor health when he was a child, too much training might be counterproductive, Xi Wei thoughtfully asked, "Can I still persist? If not, take a break. Training should be done step by step, and you can't eat a fat man in one go."
Claire smiled and said, "Okay, let's rest for another five minutes."
Deliberately leaning against Xi Wei to rest, feeling Xi Wei's body temperature at close range, the exhaustion in his whole body seemed to dissipate in an instant.
Xi Wei turned his head to look at the big golden head leaning on his shoulders, and without pushing him away, he unscrewed a bottle of water to drink.
Just halfway through drinking, Claire suddenly said, "I want to drink too."
Then, he cheekily took the bottle that Xi Wei drank, and drank it as if nothing had happened.
Xi Wei asked suspiciously, "Didn't you bring your own water?"
Claire said: "The lid is not open, drink yours first."
"..." What kind of stupid reason is this? However, seeing Claire's tired face, Xi Wei didn't bother with him, let him rest for a few minutes, and then asked, "Have you rested yet?"
Claire stood up with a smile, and shook her arms: "Okay, let's go on. What's next?"
Xi Wei also stood up and said, "I've been practicing boxing just now, and now I'm practicing legs. Riding a horse is what we often call squatting."
Claire said with a bitter face, "You want to practice this too?"
Xi Wei didn't hesitate: "Of course, an unstable foot is a big taboo in fighting. This is an introductory posture. No matter what martial arts you learn, everyone should practice it. After practicing, your legs will stand very steadily in the future. At least it won't make people fall to the ground with one kick."
After finishing speaking, Xi Wei seriously performed a standard squat in front of Claire, and Claire had no choice but to follow him.
Xi Wei glanced back and found that Claire's posture was not very standard, so he came over and supported Claire's arm with his hand, and patted his waist again: "Put your chest up, keep your stomach in, don't slump your shoulders, and look straight ahead , Breathe evenly... Very good, just hold on like this, first ten minutes, I will time it by the side."
Xi Wei, who was a teacher, was so serious that Claire had no choice but to stand obediently and squat.
Two children were teaching one and learning by the other in the classroom, and echoes of the two echoed from time to time in the empty room.
Time passed very quickly. Although Claire was sweating profusely from exhaustion, she was extremely happy in her heart - because, in this small confined space, only he and Xi Wei would not be disturbed by anyone. Every minute and every second of the rare time alone is precious.
That night, the two practiced until after eleven o'clock in the evening before returning to the dormitory together.
After Claire went back, he fell asleep after taking a shower, probably because his body was too tired, and he immediately fell asleep in bed. This sleep was very heavy, and when he woke up the next morning, although his calf and arm muscles were still a little sore, he was very energetic and refreshed. Claire knew that it was normal for his body to feel tired when he started exercising, but as long as he persisted for a long time and got used to the intensity of this kind of exercise, his body would gradually become stronger and stronger.
Thanks to Xi Wei, a master, who tutored alone, Claire made rapid progress this week.
In the fighting class on Wednesday afternoon, Teacher Tony called Claire out first, and asked seriously: "Claire, have you practiced by yourself this week?"
Claire said, "Yes."
"Okay, let me see the results of your practice." Tony walked up to him and said, "If you fail again, you can run around the classroom for me ten times before coming to class!"
Teacher Tony put down the sandbag for the test, and asked Claire to stand in front of her and punch.
Claire took a deep breath, stood firmly on the spot with both feet, lightly clenched her right hand, and swung forward—
Hearing a loud "bang", the sandbag vibrated violently for a moment, and a random score was read out: "88 points."
The surrounding students all looked stunned—I can't believe it, Claire, who has been holding back the Alphas, only scored 68 points in the assessment last week, and actually scored 88 points in this assessment
During the assessment last week, only Carlo, the class leader who is born with great strength, scored 88 in the whole class, and the other Alphas scored around 85. Unexpectedly, in just one week, Claire's progress is so great, it's like a cheat!
Teacher Tony was also obviously surprised, looked at Claire suspiciously and said, "Hit it again."
With a smile on her face, Claire stood in front of the sandbag again, and quickly swung her right hand—
Still 88 points!
Teacher Tony asked with a ghostly expression on his face, "Have you been practicing every day this week? You've made great progress!"
Claire said seriously: "Yes, teacher, I practice every night."
Tony patted him on the shoulder in relief: "Good job! As an Alpha, you should work hard like this and pursue improvement!"
After finishing speaking, he looked back at the other students in the class, and said loudly: "Look, Claire has trained so hard in a week and has improved so fast. When you go back, you have to practice hard like Claire, do you hear me?"
Everyone immediately shouted loudly: "I heard it!"
Claire returned to the team, met Xi Wei's bright eyes, and couldn't help but leaned into his ear and said, "Thank you, Xi Wei."
Xi Wei smiled and replied with his eyes: You're welcome.
Seeing the kid in front of him smiling and bending his eyes, Claire liked it so much that she couldn't help but gently hold Xi Wei's hand. Xi Wei's hands were obviously as soft as a child's, but Claire knew how explosive this guy was when he punched.
He was able to improve so quickly in a short period of time. Apart from the fact that he often watched Ji Ran practice boxing and learned a lot of martial arts skills through his ears and eyes, the most important reason was that Xi Wei, a powerful hacker, was on his side. Teach him personally - Xi Wei taught so seriously, how could he have the nerve to disappoint Xi Wei
