Chapter 130 A Date?
After getting back to their dorm, the whole room finally decided to go get breakfast together after a long time. After their breakfast, they went for their homeroom class together.
After their homeroom class, they all went to their weapon clubs. Jake, Jack, Sophia and Cindy were the ones for the sword club and they were on their way now to the sword club's building.
Entering in, they could see Von in his usual sitting position with his legs crossed. Then when the students all came in, he stood up and looked at them all. The room had been halved after that day since a lot of students were killed then.
"Alright, so let's begin today's class." Von said as he sheathed his blade by his side.
Jake had equipped his sword before coming into the class. Since everyone got themselves a sword, they were allowed to bring it to class but during training, they weren't allowed to use it. They were only able to use the wooden sword giving to them.
"Now, we are learning another sword skill called the Echoing wave. Before we start, we all know how to use Qi to some extent right?" Von asked and everybody nodded their heads together.
"Good." Von said as he took a dummy and positioned it in front of him. "Watch this closely."
Von stood in front of the dummy, then he activated it and moved back waiting for the dummy to come at him. When the dummy was charging right at him, Von then waited a bit and quickly drew his sword then he slammed it on the ground and created a shockwave sending the dummy back.
The students were in awe after seeing the skill. To them, all they could see was Von standing there with his sword sheathed then he drew it out quickly slammed it down therefore producing shockwaves and throwing the dummy away.
But Jake knew that there was more to it and Von was about to explain.
"That strike there, I used Qi. Let me explain how I did that." Von said.
Then he faced the whole class and sheathed his blade.
"You need to learn how to condense your Qi into the sword, by putting your sword into the sheath then while still holding onto it, you infuse the sword with Qi and when you feel the sword getting strong,"
"In one smooth motion, you pull out the sword and slam it into the ground therefore releasing the stored Qi and causing shockwaves to spread around making your opponent stumble and lose balance then you quickly follow up with an attack." Von explained.
"But for this to work, either you are quick in storing and withdrawing your sword or you have a way to keep your opponents still for a second or two."
Hearing what Von said, Jake couldn't help but smile.
'This is perfect, with Lockdown or stun strike, I have a way of keeping my enemies still for long enough to use that skill.' Jake smiled but then something flashed in his mind.
'Hold on, the more strong opponents I face, it will be harder to hold them still with stun strike and lockdown.'
"Now, let me show you the skill slowly and how it works." Von said as he stood in front of the dummy again and then sheathed his sword.
Then Von infused Qi into it making the blade shake in power and then he quickly withdrew the sword and slammed it on the ground causing ripples of shockwaves to spread around.
'Boy! This skill will be more than useful going against multiple enemies at once.' Jake thought excitedly.
"You are very strong and you have so much Qi. That's quite impressive." Von said as he came over then he looked at Jake.
"Now I know who you're," von said as he pointed his hand towards Jake who was now scratching his head nervously.
'Did he realized that I was the one going around saving all those soldiers?' Jake thought nervously. 'How's that possible? My face was covered by the mask and also the hood of the robe so it's not possible right?'
"You are that kid that managed to defeat the rank 3 of the third years." Von said.
Hearing this, Jake heaved a sigh of relief.
"Yes." Jake nodded his head.
"You have obviously gotten stronger than in such a short amount of time and I'm really impressed. Keep it up." Von said as he went off to continue the class.
Jake heaved a sigh again and looked at his sword then he remembered the feeling he got from using the skill.
'I need to learn how to do this quickly so that it won't be a problem when Stun strike fails.' Jake thought and that was when he heard angrily steps heading his way.
Looking up, he could see a silver haired beauty heading his way.
"Cindy!" Jake said wondering why she was angrily coming at him. Experience new tales on empire
"What was that for?" Cindy asked.
"What was what for?" Jake asked with a raised brow.
"Why did you have to perform that skill and cause me to go flying." Cindy complained.
"You went flying? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that it just happened in the heat of the moment." Jake apologized.
"Well, apology not accepted." Cindy said with her arms crossed.
"Why?"
"Before I can accept your apology, you have to go on a date with me." Cindy said.
"What?!" Sophia and Jack said at once after coming over to also complain to Jake.
