Chapter 37: Beneficial for Physical and Mental Health

Everyone stopped the noise and returned to their seats.

“A bunch of cowards! I’m leaving; there’s no need to waste time here.” Yuris stood up and walked out.

“Hey! Yuris.”

Michelle sat in her seat, at a loss; of course, she couldn’t leave.

Renina had a bit of a headache; she had thought Yuris was just joking and didn’t take it seriously, but now it seemed he was really arrogant.

“Let him go; let’s continue.”

“How about this: those who are confident in their abilities can act independently with their own teams, and those who find it difficult to act alone can form a legion-like model to support each other.”

Michelle proposed, considering everyone’s thoughts.

“That’s settled.”

Renina immediately made the decision, “Those who want to act alone can sign up with me; the others will follow my command.”

After discussing the details, Michelle returned to the camp; it was already close to afternoon.

In front, a group of people was gathered together, not knowing what they were doing.

“Yuris, weren’t you very arrogant? Let’s see how you can smile now.”

A group of people surrounded Yuris, their faces showing cold smiles.

Surrounded, Yuris’s expression didn’t change at all, “Small fry are just small fry. Do you think you can deal with me just because there are more of you? Ridiculous!”

“Hmph! Our boss is B-rank and was originally a candidate for dragon slaying, but he didn’t go to take care of us.”

“Truly a weakling; even running away can find an excuse.”

“You brat, I’m going to make you regret saying that.”

A group of people charged forward aggressively.

“Hey! Yuris, it seems you’re in trouble; do you need help?”

Leo sat on a tree trunk in the back, munching on an apple he had found somewhere.

“No need; it’ll be resolved soon.”

Yuris drew his sword, ready to fight.

Suddenly, a magic circle lit up around him, and all the people surrounding him disappeared.

“They’ve all been teleported to President Renina. Don’t cause trouble again in the future.”

Michelle, who had walked over, said with a smile. Yuris felt an inexplicable pressure and awkwardly said,

“…Okay.”

……

After lunch, the young dragon hunting team led by Dante and Selena set out to search for the young dragon’s traces.

Renina led some elites to follow along.

A large group of monsters gathered together, led by the young dragon, roaring continuously.

The young dragon was quite intelligent and was surrounded by the monster group, making it difficult for the hunting team to approach.

Both sides had small-scale conflicts, but in the end, they could only leave it unresolved. Renina had to lead everyone back to reinforce the camp’s defenses.

At night, the bright moon hung high, and a cool breeze blew. The cold moonlight filtered through the trees, casting shadows on the ground.

Under a large tree, Leo practiced sword swings, bare-chested, again and again.

His muscular lines were aesthetically pleasing, covered in sweat.

He wore arm and leg guards as well, and he had started this training two days ago. Even though he was very tired, he never stopped, his gaze still resolute.

After swinging a thousand times, Leo stopped to hydrate.

“Who?”

In the darkness, Leo noticed someone standing there.

“It’s me.”

Michelle stepped out, and Leo immediately relaxed his guard.

“Do you train like this every day?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s amazing! No wonder your swordsmanship is so good.”

Michelle exclaimed sincerely.

The moonlight illuminated Michelle’s fair cheeks, revealing a hint of redness, along with her moist silver eyes.

Michelle softly said, “Actually, I came to apologize to you. I accidentally hit you this morning and mocked your tent. As a holy maiden serving the gods, that’s not allowed. I’m sorry!”

“Are you an angel?!”

Michelle had a repentant expression, and Leo felt as if an angel had appeared before him.

“Eh?!”

Michelle let out a surprised sound.

“You’re definitely an angel! You are an angel who has come to the mortal realm, and after death, you will return to heaven.”

“Angels? Not at all!”

“I’ve decided; from now on, I’ll call you Angel! No, Saint!”

“Don’t call me that!”

Michelle shyly covered her face; being called that was even more embarrassing than being called Saint Lady.

Seeing her shy appearance, Leo couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.

Hmm, sometimes teasing Michelle is beneficial for physical and mental health.

“If you keep calling me that, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Michelle pretended to be angry.

“Alright, but you have to promise me, as friends, not to be so formal. That kind of small matter isn’t worth apologizing for. If I were really angry, I would have beaten Yuris up long ago.”

Michelle was taken aback for a moment, then covered her small mouth and chuckled, “Okay, I promise you.”

“This is what you said; if you still act so distant in the future, I’ll keep calling you Angel.”

“Mm.”

Michelle pouted her small mouth and softly spoke; her voice was sweet, making Leo’s heart flutter.

“I don’t know what’s going on; today I feel full of energy and could swing my sword another thousand times.”

After saying that, to distract himself, Leo swung his sword again.

“I want to practice together.”

Seeing Leo working so hard, the Saint was also inspired.

“Practicing divine arts?” Leo asked.

“Of course, swordsmanship.”

Michelle tied her silver hair into a ponytail, adding a bit of heroism, then took out a snow-white sword from her skill space and began to swing it according to Leo’s method.

Leo stared blankly, “You can also use swordsmanship?”

“Mm, I’ve learned swordsmanship. Although I’m not as good as you, I should be a bit stronger than the average person.”

No way, the Saint is too versatile! He had previously speculated that Michelle had comprehensive abilities but lacked close combat skills; now, the only weakness was eliminated.

“I really like your swordsmanship; it’s fearless, carrying a belief in victory, almost able to cut through everything. It’s the most dazzling swordsmanship I’ve ever seen. A person with such swordsmanship must be strong and resilient.”

Admiration and envy shone in Michelle’s eyes.

Hey! Someone who can see through his swordsmanship is definitely not just a bit stronger than the average person.

No wonder Michelle had hoped he would teach her swordsmanship before; it seemed it wasn’t just a whim, and he suddenly regretted refusing her.

Soon, Leo threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind and continued practicing his sword.

Beside him, a pleasant fragrance wafted from Michelle, and he couldn’t help but look over.

She had already swung a few thousand times, slightly out of breath, and a fine layer of sweat glistened on her perfect face, her brilliant eyes resolute and serious.

Her silver hair was tied up, and her fair neck was exposed to the moonlight, dotted with beads of sweat. Looking down, there was her alluring collarbone…

Oh no!

He accidentally got mesmerized.

Leo discreetly pulled back some distance.

Calming his mind, he practiced the Heartflow meditation method a few times, clearing his head.

Opening his eyes, his pitch-black eyes were calm and focused, no external distractions could interfere with him anymore.

Michelle noticed his appearance out of the corner of her eye, smiled gently, and continued practicing her sword.
