Chapter 445: Chrysanthemum Katsura's Astonishment

Upon entering Bai Huang, Nagi Sanzenin led Chen Yi and Maria directly to the Kendo Club, which had been built in a corner on the edge of Bai Huang.

From a great distance, the sound of bamboo swords clashing could already be heard coming from the Kendo Club.

Nagi Sanzenin pulled open the sliding door and walked straight in.

A sour stench immediately hit her face, nearly extinguishing Nagi Sanzenin's courage to enter the Kendo Club, but considering the reason she had come to Bai Huang, she still forced herself to take one step forward.

There were actually not many people inside the Kendo Club; everyone wore heavy protective gear, with clear, hard face guards and nets on their heads, thick hard armor on their chests, and corresponding protection at the throat, shielding all areas prone to fatal injuries.

Everyone was performing very basic Kendo exercises; from their skilled advances and retreats, it was evident that the foundation of the Kendo Club members was quite good.

Of course, this excluded the sour stench emanating from the bodies of those sweating profusely.

Nagi Sanzenin tried fanning the air in front of her nose; it was quite unpleasant to be unaccustomed to such a sour smell.

Among the group wearing blue undershirts and black protective gear, one person was particularly conspicuous.

In the crowd exercising, there was a special girl who was not wearing a helmet with a face guard; she was alone over there, practicing swinging her bamboo sword by herself.

"Chrysanthemum."

When the girl with long pink hair heard someone calling her name, she instinctively turned her head; upon seeing the visitor, some surprise appeared in her yellow-green eyes, and she even stopped her sword-swinging motion out of delight.

"Nagi!"

Her gaze shifted slightly; she saw not only Nagi alone, but also Chen Yi.

"Chen Yi and Young Lady Maria."

After exchanging greetings, Chrysanthemum Katsura's gaze remained fixed on Nagi.

"Nagi, hearing the news of your transfer to a new school startled me at first; I thought something had happened in your family, so I even asked my older sister to investigate. But who would have known that the news of your and Chen Yi's transfer was hidden so well; it feels like you transferred for some specific reason."

Long time no see; this woman's intuition is still so sharp... Nagi Sanzenin couldn't help but complain inwardly.

"So, what made you and Chen Yi decide to come back today?"

"Um... the reason for this return is quite special. Someone suggested I learn Kendo, and I felt there was some merit to it, so I immediately thought of you."

"Eh..."

Chrysanthemum Katsura looked at Nagi with slight surprise; this Nagi, who disliked exercise, had actually come to her to learn Kendo because of someone else's suggestion.

"I am very happy that you thought of me the moment Kendo was mentioned. However, you won't just be a three-minute passion this time, will you?"

"No problem!"

This time, Nagi Sanzenin's attitude was very firm, and her words were very certain.

"This time I will absolutely persist; otherwise, I wouldn't have come back to find you."

Indeed... Chrysanthemum Katsura also felt that if Nagi hadn't made up her mind, she wouldn't have come back to find her to learn Kendo after transferring to another school.

"However, can you change my protective gear for a new set? I really can't stand that sweat smell."

As she spoke, Nagi Sanzenin disdainfully fanned the stinky sweat smell in front of her nose; the mixed sour and foul odor was too strong, and her nose simply couldn't take it anymore.

Seeing the full face of disgust on Nagi's face, Chrysanthemum Katsura felt her anger rising.

But considering that Nagi was more serious this time than before, she did not want this child's hard-won interest to be extinguished by her directly.

Moreover, brand new protective gear was not unavailable.

"Come with me."

Chrysanthemum Katsura led Nagi to collect a brand new set of protective gear.

Actually, the weight of the protective gear was somewhat significant; Chrysanthemum Katsura was quite worried whether Nagi would still be able to move after putting on the gear, given that this child's physical constitution was simply too poor.

But upon seeing Nagi walk out steadily wearing a full set of protective gear and holding a bamboo sword, she finally dispelled her previous worries.

She even teased with a hint of surprise:

"What a surprise; did you go somewhere to exercise your body during this month of transferring schools? Before, you could barely even walk while wearing protective gear."

Removing the headgear, Nagi Sanzenin smiled mysteriously.

"Yes, I went to a place to exercise my body, and I used my favorite method."

Twisting her body slightly, the weight of the protective gear had little effect on her now; Nagi Sanzenin knew this was because Elemental Power had enhanced her physical constitution. This visible speed of enhancement made her feel a bit excited.

She couldn't persist in exercising for two reasons: on one hand, her own perseverance was indeed not strong. On the other hand, the cycle for physical exercise to yield results is actually very long; over time, this triggered her lack of perseverance. Furthermore, exercising for a long time without seeing results was also quite demoralizing.

But the situation now is different.

Exercising the body doesn't require deliberate effort; one can simply enhance it while striving to control Elemental Power, and the speed of becoming stronger is visible to the naked eye, which almost never triggers the stress response of the past.
