บท 19: Beautiful As A Blossom
Everybody in the courtyard turned when the bright flash of light surrounded Feng Hei Lang. After a while, it faded and a human with fox ears and tail stood in her place.
Feng Hei Lang had jet black hair with a light skin tone. Her cheeks were slightly blushed and her lips were a shade of baby pink. She opened her obsidian eyes to see all the foxes looking at her.
Feng Hei Lang spun in a slow circle and saw that she was automatically wearing clothes. She looked down to see Kang Lei with his mouth wide open. She tilted her head. "What is it? Do I look weird?"
He distractedly shook his head. "N-No! You look great!"
She smiled. "Haha...Thank you." Feng Hei Lang looked into a mirror, only to see that she looked exactly like she did in her past life. She gasped and almost fell backwards. 'I thought I would never see this form again! The fox ears and tail really make me look like a cat-girl though...It's CUTE!'
Instructor Le Yi cleared her throat and said, "Student Hei Lang, plus twenty-five tallies!"
Feng Hei Lang gave a quick dip of her head. "Thank you, Instructor Le Yi." She quickly checked her medallion to see how many tallies she had.
[410 Tallies]
She tilted her head. 'Hmmm...It should be enough for around ten meals I think!' Feng Hei Lang sighed and dropped her medallion back into her shadow. Then, a bell rang throughout the courtyard.
Instructor Le Yi clapped her hands. "Times up! Anyone who didn't learn it must learn it by tomorrow! Now, head off to lunch, then go to the east tower. Instructor Zhou Yan will be waiting for you there."
Feng Hei Lang promptly shifted back into fox form as she saw Kang Lei sigh. She nudged him. "What? Jealous that you didn't succeed?"
He rolled his eyes. "Nope! I'm just worried about your tallies, if you keep having to buy two meals every time!"
They continued chattering until they made it to the cafeteria once more. After emptying forty tallies from her medallion once more, both of them started heading towards the east tower.
Feng Hei Lang stretched and turned into her human form. She held out a hand for Kang Lei. "C'mon. I can carry you. We can get there faster."
He looked at her with a weird expression on his face. "W-Wha? You? Carry me?" She sighed. "Did you not hear what I said?"
Kang Lei jumped onto her shoulder in one large leap. Then, Feng Hei Lang started sprinting towards the east tower.
When they arrived, Feng Hei Lang went back into fox form. A male in human form was standing in front of the building. He smiled when he saw then. "Alright then. Everybody is here! If anyone is in human form right now, please switch back."
Nobody moved as only Mei Wang and Feng Hei Lang succeeded in learning the technique today, and they were both already in fox form.
The instructor did a quick bow. "Nice to meet you all students. I'm Instructor Zhou Yan and I teach Combative Skill Class. I'll teach you more about how to fight and some useful techniques for it too. Everyone, let's enter in the east tower."
All the foxes followed Instructor Zhou Yan into the east tower and found that it was a large gym with training puppets, targets, and other materials.
Kang Lei let out a gasp when he saw it. "Look at this, Hei Lang! There's so many different weapons and training things!"
Feng Hei Lang grinned. "I can't wait to try this! It looks fun!"
Instructor Zhou Fan cleared his throat. "Ahem. No talking please." He waved an arm towards the gym and ten training puppets rose from the ground. "Today will be an assessment to see how much potential you have. You each strike the training puppets until it breaks. The higher the number of strikes it takes for you to break it, the lower potential you have."
Feng Hei Lang gritted her teeth. "That's quite brutal...imagine if it takes like ten strikes."
Kang Lei nodded. "It is...That's why we need to try our best!" He shot a smile at her.
She giggled in return and then turned back to the instructor.
Instructor Zhou Fan waved a hand towards each of the puppets. "All of you, please pick one and stand before it. You may use your human form if you desire, but keep in mind that you are weaker in your human form."
Feng Hei Lang walked up to the second one, while Kang Lei was at the third. She used [Shadow Manipulation] to form a scythe, like the ones in the fairy tales of grim reapers. 'This seems like a good choice, if I can just directly cut it in half. It's too big for me though! I would have to be in human form!'
She switched forms and held the shadow scythe in her hand. Feng Hei Lang could hear abilities echoing across the entire room.
Mei Wang, who was at the first training puppet next to her, was slashing at the puppet with ice swords. In four hits, it cracked and broke.
Instructor Zhou Fan clapped his hand. "Good job, Student Mei Wang! You are the first one to break a puppet, and in four hits no less! You have quite a bit of potential!"
A holographic number 4 could be seen where the training puppets was broken.
Feng Hei Lang paused for a second. 'Wait...Instructor Zhou Fan didn't say that these training puppets were rated based on strength. It's based on potential, so if you have potential, even the lightest tap should be able to break it!'
