Chapter 69: The Significance of Learning Team Dance

Inside the training ground.

The six members of the team finally resigned themselves to their fate and lined up in two rows, preparing to learn to dance.

"Captain, are you going to teach us to dance yourself? I heard from Bing'er that you were actually the top graduate of the Royal Etiquette Training performance for this year!" Qiu Ruoshui asked curiously.

Once she said this, the appetites of the others were whetted as well.

Although dancing didn't really fit the team's style, as girls, they still hoped they could learn to perform a beautiful dance.

After all, this was also a manifestation of one's own charm...

Qin Jian nodded and then shook his head, smiling: "This team dance is indeed something I know, but I won't be teaching you myself..."

"Then who will?" Shui Yue'er asked.

At this moment, the quicker-reacting Yu Hairou had already looked at Shui Bing'er, who was still standing beside Qin Jian: "Could it be Bing'er?"

"No way, with Bing'er's personality, how could she teach anyone?" Xue Wu doubted.

The others nodded in agreement.

But at this moment, Qin Jian pushed Shui Bing'er forward: "Hairou guessed right. I already taught some of the movements to Bing'er yesterday, so today she will be the one to teach you."

The other six all cast suspicious gazes at Shui Bing'er, but Yan Zhining's eyes brightened.

Regardless of whether Qin Jian had other motives for requiring them to learn to dance, at the very least, having Shui Bing'er lead the instruction was a brilliant move.

"Um... today I will teach everyone the movements the Captain taught me yesterday... follow along and learn with me..."

Just as Shui Bing'er finished saying this, Qin Jian picked at his ear from the side: "Bing'er, I didn't even hear what you were saying. Could you speak up a bit? We are all your teammates, we won't eat you."

Hearing Qin Jian's words, Yan Zhining became even more certain of her judgment; this was the true training aimed at Shui Bing'er.

"Oh... I understand..."

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and tried her best to raise her volume.

The other six looked at each other, also beginning to understand why Qin Jian insisted on having Shui Bing'er teach.

"The first movement is... everyone watch me do it..."

Shui Bing'er had thought it would be fine; as long as the others followed her, it would be much easier than when Qin Jian taught her yesterday.

But when she actually stood at the very front to perform the first movement, she felt as if her body had gone stiff, and the result was naturally a disaster.

"Pfft..."

Shui Yue'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, but Qin Jian immediately spoke loudly to cover her voice: "Bing'er, you did quite well, but everyone hasn't seen it clearly yet. Let's do it one more time."

At the same time, he signaled the other six with his eyes: "Watch Bing'er's demonstration carefully, don't get distracted."

Xue Wu and the others immediately understood his meaning, and even those who didn't were quietly reminded by the others.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and demonstrated it again.

"Wow, this movement is really pretty..."

At this time, Qiu Ruoshui immediately said: "Bing'er, you're so amazing, I want to learn this movement from you too."

Once she said this, Qin Jian clearly saw Shui Bing'er's body relax slightly.

He secretly gave Qiu Ruoshui a thumbs up.

Seeing this, the others caught on quickly and began to offer praise one after another.

Shui Bing'er scratched her head in embarrassment, and sure enough, she relaxed even more.

"Then let everyone try this movement with me..."

At this point, she finally let the other six begin to learn as well.

Qin Jian spoke up again: "Bing'er, their physical conditions are different, so the posture and movements for this dance might need slight adjustments. Observe their characteristics carefully, then guide them one by one."

"Okay."

Shui Bing'er nodded obediently and, sure enough, began to observe very carefully.

Yan Zhining nodded from the side, finally completely reassured about Qin Jian; she had already understood his intention.

After some guidance and practice, Shui Bing'er had already corrected everyone's movements several times, and she gradually began to look like a real instructor.

The morning passed quickly.

At this time, Qin Jian clapped his hands and said: "You have already learned ten movements today. Now I suggest you practice them in a sequence. However, since I haven't finished the accompaniment yet, you can only adapt to each other's rhythm and try to keep your movements uniform."

The first attempt at continuous dancing was naturally a mess.

So Qin Jian said: "While performing your own movements well, you must also pay attention to the position and movements of everyone else."

"Ah? How is that possible?" Shui Yue'er couldn't help but say.

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "You will be able to do it once you get used to it. We are a team; keeping the situation of other companions in sight at all times is something we should be doing anyway."

Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui, and the others nodded.

And those as Ice and Snow-clever as Shui Bing'er, as well as the naturally gifted Xue Wu and Yu Hairou, also began to realize what it was that Qin Jian wanted them to train.

It wasn't just about the dance itself...

And they all saw that the experienced senior instructors outside were also realizing it one after another.

That white-haired instructor leaned on her cane and sighed with emotion: "Simplifying the complex, very good, very good!"

"Combat is an extremely complex matter. To cultivate a qualified Control System Soul Master and team members who have tacit understanding with each other, it might take thousands of actual combat trials..."

She said slowly: "But Qin Jian chose to simplify this process at the very beginning. Instead of simulating combat, he chose the form of dancing..."

"First is the issue of Shui Bing'er's personality. She has always lacked confidence and been very timid. Qin Jian arranging for her to teach everyone allows her to get training and increases her confidence..."

"Moreover, as a Control System Soul Master, she must constantly pay attention to the situation of every team member and understand the characteristics of every companion. This is also a skill that can be cultivated while teaching dance..."

The old teacher's eyes were full of praise: "And the other team members, because there is no music, cannot catch the rhythm and can only rely on mutual observation and tacit understanding to complete the coordination. This further strengthens their cooperation..."

"Seeing the big picture from the small, I think there is no problem with this Captain..."

She tapped her cane on the ground and said to Xiao Jing: "Instructor Xiao, don't keep harping on this in the future. If he can bring back a more mature Tianshui Team, or even bring back a top three finish in the Elite Tournament for the entire Dalu, then even if he is criticized by others, it won't amount to much."

Xiao Jing couldn't help but stomp her foot and said: "Dean, even if there are these benefits, look at what kind of dance he is teaching. Aren't many of the movements too seductive? What does this look like?!"

"Hahaha..."

The old Dean laughed and waved his hand, saying, "This group dance really brings out the beauty of these young girls, but there is no need to be too particular about these details; as long as it is effective, it is fine. I see that they are all learning it very happily..."
