Chapter 30: Sparring

Sorcha woke up on a Monday morning, feeling her entire body ache. She stretched out her back, creating cracking sounds that make her release a sigh of satisfaction.

Yesterday was so fun for her, yet has tolled too much of energy. Uncle David and her, spent the whole day training physical combat.

Her uncle was surprised on how well she performed on the first day. She can actually exchange blows with him without losing too badly. She took advantage of her previous life experience, making her a step ahead to anyone on this world.

Her combat style, is using her flexibility to make up for her deficiency in strength. Of course her strength before was really high compared to majority, but in this life, she's just above average. Her uncle is a veteran, even with all her experiences, she couldn't defeat him with her current fourteen year old body.

Uncle David is someone who would reproach, if you make mistakes. But he is also not stingy in giving praises. He repeatedly gave her words of approval especially on her unusual fighting style and fast footwork, while they are sparring. He also said that her reaction speed is topnotch in the military. His praises made her happy and proud at the same time. Still, she didn't let it get into her head. She knows that there's still a long path ahead of her.

She changed her pajamas into black exercise clothes after washing her face. Then she left her room and met up with her uncle, who ordered her to jog around their mansion.

While jogging, she also added shadow boxing. It is something she learned from David. Boxing is a simplified style of her previous world's martial arts. Jabs, upper cuts, hooks, etc. are simple yet effective techniques in brawling which she feels rather useful.

She felt her forehead dripping in sweat, when she's almost finished running. That alone proves that her training is definitely being paid off. Before, she can already feel her body drenched in sweat when she has only covered half of the entire distance.

She smiled, then ran faster towards the mansion's gate, where David is already waiting for her while carrying a bottle of water and a towel.

She wiped away her sweat, then drank all the water in that bottle.

"Thank you uncle!" She said sweetly.

After Sorcha left for school, David went to meet with Anthony. He sat on a chair facing him.

"Sorcha is too talented in combat." David reported.

Anthony raised one of his brows. "Ha, she could actually make you praise her this much. How good can she be?" He asked.

"Too good. She can definitely rank in top, if she's given more training." David said passionately.

"Haha! I just know my daughter is talented." Anthony exclaimed. "Older brother, just tell me if you need any assistance in grooming her. Even if I'm busy, I can still find some time for her. And even if I can't, I can always ask other excellent people to teach her."

"Okay. But for now, I think I'm still enough. I'll observe her first. If I am no longer able to teach her anything, I will tell you." David answered after thinking for a while.

"Good! Then I will rely on you!" Anthony said.

Thank you guys for reading. Work is so tiring, and it's difficult to make time for writing.

Thanks for the PS! I'll mention you all this weekend.

Chapter 31: Cramming

After a fast shower, Sorcha hurriedly put on her school uniform. She picked up her bag, took a book out, and glanced on the mirror quickly. Upon seeing herself presentable, she nodded in satisfaction and then ran to the dining area.

She grabbed a piece of bread, took a sip on the milk beside, and said with a full mouth, "Mom, dad, I need to leave early today."

"Dear eat slowly!" Aria said to her daughter.

"Sorry mom, I really need to go!" She said.

She glanced at the half full glass of milk and decided to take one last gulp from the glass, then ran fastly to the car.

She opened the book she is holding, and skimmed through it while eating the bread. Today, is the first day of exams. Because her time is cut half from her training, she can only spend a shorter time to review. She is not worried though, she's confident about herself. Even before in her past life, she already have a photographic memory. Even if it isn't as miraculous as remembering everything, atleast she could remember most of what she had read.

After a long ride, Sorcha finally was able to arrive in school. It seems she is earlier for about thirty minutes. She put another book on her table, and crammed. Skimming through the books, and checking out her notes sometimes, she stayed like that until all her classmates arrived.

"Look, she probably didn't study at home. Just reading her books right now." A girl whispered to her seatmate.

"She's probably too lazy. It's not like we do not have a weekend to review." Another girl whispered.

Sorcha can actually hear them, but she chose to just ignore them. She's too old, to bother with childish students.

"Hey you! So what if she's just reviewing right now!" Rica suddenly shouted and confronted the two girls. Putting both of her hands on her hips.

"What? We didn't say anything wrong. Isn't she really cramming right now?" The girl retorted with raised eyebrows.

"You!! It's fine if it's Sorcha because she's intelligent already! But if it's you, I bet even if you study for a year, that brain of yours will still remain as big as a pea!" She angrily said.

"Hmph!" The two girls just snorted and ignored Rica.

Sorcha sighed upon seeing her friend, and felt moved, "Rica, it's fine." She said.

"Ah! I just hate people who have nothing else to do but speak ill of others!" Rica harrumphed.

Luke then arrived, and was able to hear everything.

"Sorcha, don't mind them. But are you really only able to study right now?" He asked worriedly. Edmund also worriedly looked at Sorcha.

"Yes. But don't worry, I'll be fine." She replied while smiling at them.

"Hmph! Too arrogant." The girl a while ago blurted out.

"Hey you pig!" Rica shouted once again. Luke and Edmund also glared at the girl, then, looked again at Sorcha.

"Goodluck to us! I trust that you'd be able to pass the tests easily." Luke said to her.

"Mm." Sorcha nodded to reassure her friends.
