Chapter 252: Can't It Be Scheduled Somewhere Else?
Chapter 252: Can't It Be Scheduled Somewhere Else?
Wang Yiding excitedly approached.
Ever since he saw Qiao Sang's Flame Listener and Treasure Seeker teleport at the school opening ceremony, he was utterly amazed.
Thinking about how Qiao Sang had once mentioned being the sparring partner for the Heng Eagle Beast Combat Club, he rushed over to make a reservation as soon as school let out.
And he's been waiting ever since.
"Boss Qiao, do you remember me? I'm the one whose Crown Cat ran away, and you helped me find it", Wang Yiding tried to get closer, saying, "When I saw you at the school opening ceremony, I was shocked. I never expected we'd both be at Holy Water High School."
"Of course." Qiao Sang nodded.
It's hard to forget someone who spends money so extravagantly.
"Shall we start the sparring session now?" Qiao Sang asked.
Wang Yiding scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, and said, "I didn't come to spar. I want you to teach my Crown Cat how to teleport."
Qiao Sang: "."
I've taught you online and even explained it to Crown Cat in person, but it didn't work out. Now you're coming to learn? What a joke. Qiao Sang glanced at Crown Cat out of the corner of her eye, about to refuse.
But then, Wang Yiding said, "As long as I learn, money isn't an issue!"
Qiao Sang put on a serious face and said, "You've come to the right person. My Flame Listener and Treasure Seeker both know how to teleport, and I have the confidence to teach your Crown Cat."
"I knew it!" Wang Yiding exclaimed happily.
He had complete faith in Qiao Sang.
Boss Qiao was a rising star at Holy Water High School. Although she was just a freshman like him, her legend was known from the lower grades to the upper grades, and in every corner of the campus.
For example, she participated in a Familiar Battle right after the High School Entrance Exam and won the championship.
In junior high, she slept through classes and failed all her exams, but in the last few days before the High School Entrance Exam, she studied hard and managed to get into Holy Water High School.
Treasure Seeker, as a Ghost Familiar, had learned Tile Split under Qiao Sang's training, and its skills were strong enough to outperform all the combat-type familiars in the school. She even declared that she would win the Bare-handed Tile Split event at the Sports Meet.
Even the mysterious Vice Principal was related to her, and he always helped her with leave requests.
In short, Qiao Sang was a legendary figure in Wang Yiding's eyes.
Qiao Sang squatted down and looked at Crown Cat, smiling. "We meet again."
"Crown!"
Crown Cat stared at Qiao Sang for a while, then suddenly jumped back a step, its lazy expression turning vigilant, clearly remembering who she was.
Seeing his Crown Cat's reaction, Wang Yiding quickly reminded it, "Crown, we agreed to learn properly!"
"Crown."
Crown Cat's body stiffened, its expression resigned as it took a step forward.
Qiao Sang was a bit surprised.
She didn't know what Wang Yiding had told Crown Cat, but it must have been convincing enough to make it agree, considering how Crown Cat had run away to avoid practicing teleportation with Fart.
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and decided to ask, but just as she opened her mouth, "You—"
Wang Yiding also asked, "Boss Qiao, how did you teach your familiars to teleport? Both of them learned it."
Qiao Sang immediately closed her mouth.
She suddenly realized that he didn't know her method for teaching teleportation.
It seemed that while Crown Cat had heard her mention it once, it might have forgotten.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment. "It's a secret technique, and I can't share it."
"Crown." Crown Cat's expression remained wary as it stared at Qiao Sang.
It hadn't forgotten the method this human had told it for practicing teleportation. However, its Beastmaster had promised that the person teaching it would never use Fart for practice.
And it chose to believe its Beastmaster.
"At the school opening ceremony, you said you'd give me the secret to teleportation if I won", Wang Yiding chuckled.
"I understand, no need to ask. As long as you can teach Crown Cat, that's enough. Actually, my Crown Cat has learned teleportation before, but the teacher from the Training Academy couldn't teach it properly, no matter how long they tried. That's why I thought of seeking help from a pro like you."
"Right, Boss Qiao, what did you want to say just now?"
Qiao Sang thought for a moment and said, "I was just going to say that you have good judgment, to think of learning teleportation from me."
Wang Yiding was taken aback, momentarily unsure who Boss Qiao was praising.
"Wait a moment", Qiao Sang said, moving to one side and putting several meters of distance between herself and Wang Yiding.
Once she was sure he couldn't hear her, she called out, "Treasure Seeker."
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker appeared.
Qiao Sang looked at Treasure Seeker and lowered her voice to ask, "Did you hear everything just now?"
She wouldn't teach teleportation herself; at most, she knew that Treasure Seeker relied on a fart-like sensation to perform it. The one who would actually teach it was Treasure Seeker.
But if Treasure Seeker taught it, it was as good as her teaching it.
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker nodded.
Qiao Sang's voice dropped even lower, "Do you remember that Crown Cat? The one we used to train with."
"Seek."
Treasure Seeker spread its paws.
Of course it remembered. That guy had even taken away its grilled sausages.
"Good to hear." Qiao Sang said earnestly, "Crown Cat left home because it didn't want to rely on farting to practice teleportation. When you teach it, don't be too blunt about the fart part. Be a bit more tactful."
"Use terms like 'abdominal energy' or 'pressure release.'"
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker showed a reluctant expression.
That guy was such a hassle.
"Work is like that", Qiao Sang said wistfully.
"Seek~"
Treasure Seeker also looked wistful.
Seeing this, Qiao Sang pretended to sigh, "If you don't work hard and earn money, you won't be able to buy Energy Pills. You'll just have to eat the food I make."
"Seekseek!"
Treasure Seeker panicked.
It immediately called out, assuring her that it would teach properly.
Qiao Sang: "."
While her ultimate goal was indeed for Treasure Seeker to teach, it still felt exhausting to see how much it reacted to the thought of eating her food.
Fifty minutes later.
At the first row of seats by the training ground, Wang Yiding watched Crown Cat training with Treasure Seeker and suggested, "Boss Qiao, how about I go to the front desk and sign up for a monthly package right now? Can you spare some time each evening to teach? I'll cover the cost of the sparring partner and the teleportation lessons."
Qiao Sang glanced at her mobile phone to check the time, "It's only been about fifty minutes, but Crown Cat has already picked up the teleportation stance pretty well. I don't think it will take a whole month."
Speaking of the teleportation stance, Wang Yiding couldn't help but look at his Crown Cat.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the stance looked a lot like someone trying to relieve constipation.
In the center of the training ground.
Crown Cat's tail was straight, its limbs strained, and its face was flushed red.
After holding it for several seconds, it let out a deflated expression.
"Crown."
"Seekseek!"
Treasure Seeker was frustrated.
Keep going!
How could you be so slow!
Fangy learned it so quickly!
"Crown!"
Crown Cat looked up at Treasure Seeker with a doubtful expression.
Will releasing the energy and strength from my body really help me learn teleportation?
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker nodded vigorously, making a promise.
That's how it learned!
"Crown?"
Crown Cat called out, raising a question.
Why does the energy and strength have to be released from such an ungraceful position, and not from somewhere else?
"Seekseek!"
Treasure Seeker immediately channeled its internal energy, along with the energy and strength, to its right paw, intending to show Crown Cat that it wouldn't work.
Unexpectedly, when all the power gathered in its right paw, a thick, white energy appeared.
"Seek"
Treasure Seeker, feeling the power in its right paw, instinctively swung it toward the ground.
"Whoosh!"
A thin rift instantly split the ground.
Qiao Sang, who had been watching the training ground closely, widened her eyes and abruptly stood up.
Damn!
Tile Split!!!
