Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

One can easily imagine the scene of that underground rally.

Looking at Honma with his eyebrows lowered and eyes fixed on the ball in his palm, Fu Qian seemed to see many people with the same posture and hope.

Although the action is simple, like a common prayer in faith, the shape of the ball itself gives it a special look.

Although the flesh and skin were still there, the ten fingers wrapped outside had a vague feeling of being included in it.

Even that unique kind of holiness is transmitted in the opposite direction.

Honma, who already loves life and enjoys delicious food, has returned to his original nature, with a clear and pure look.

"It feels the same as last time, I—"

However, he obviously did not forget what he was doing, and he quickly expressed his feelings without being reminded.

Unfortunately, as soon as I opened my mouth, I didn't expect that the new professor of the academy would make a gesture to keep quiet.

"How do you feel? This is indeed a question I am concerned about, but the time has not come yet."

"Answer when I ask you to. If I don't ask, just keep doing this."

Why is it a little different from last time...

For a moment, Honma's slightly dazed expression clearly reflected this doubt.

Unfortunately, the tester just sat there stroking the ring on his finger without any intention of explaining.

……

  Micro-innovation?

At the same time, Honma was not the only one who was shocked.

Ji Liushuang, who came a little closer, was also a little surprised by the improvements to the test plan.

Of course, the reason is not only that the test subject's active statement is prohibited, but also because of the ring that is shining with a dreamy glow while Professor Fu is fiddling with it.

Although he couldn't notice any changes, Ji Liushuang believed that some changes had just occurred.

Professor Fu is not going to simply repeat himself...

Ji Liushuang naturally thought of the other party's conservative evaluation of Professor Chang Mo's data, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Of course, even so, as a qualified assistant, apart from paying full attention and not missing any changes in Honma, she did not do anything extra.

"Now it's OK—"

As time passed, after being forced to maintain the same posture for a while, Honma, who seemed confused about the situation, finally couldn't help but speak again.

Hush

Unfortunately, he got the exact same action in response.

Professor Fu still didn't seem ready to ask questions.

This……

After being rejected again, Honma subconsciously turned his head to look at Ji Liushuang who was raiding the battlefield. Unfortunately, the latter's expressionless reaction made him completely accept his fate without even saying a word.

But people are like this, once they realize that the status quo cannot be changed, their special temperament will suddenly emerge.

In just a blink of an eye, the worry on Honma's face disappeared as he made a praying gesture again, and his enlightenment reached a new level.

……

  really not bad!

Seeing that the tester seemed like he would never speak again, Fu Qian looked at Ji Liushuang with admiration.

"You have a sword?"

  Aren't you afraid of scaring him?

I thought Professor Fu was going to ask me what I thought, but I didn't expect he was actually asking if I had any weapons.

However, while Ji Liushuang was puzzled, he turned his hand and swiftly pulled out a dagger from his side.

Slightly longer than the forearm, with a cross-shaped guard and vermilion marks climbing up on the exquisite hilt.

This short sword is of extraordinary quality, and it is obviously suitable for carrying it with her, even after she obtained it, she has been doing so all the time.

The key issue is that this weapon was originally given to me by the person in front of me.

At such a close distance, how could the other party not know that I was carrying it.

Although the real purpose is uncertain, it is clear that this statement is meant to scare people.

However, the test subject who lost his choice remained relatively calm. Even when Professor Fu reached out to take the dagger and pulled out part of it, he still refrained from looking over here.

"Is it easy to use?"

Unfortunately, the payment process hadn’t even finished yet, and the next moment they were asking about their experience.

“…Although it’s a bit shorter, it’s surprisingly easy to use.”

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off-topic, Liushuang answered seriously despite feeling it was weird.

"Even Professor Chang praised it before, saying that this weapon is far from being flashy."

Considering that it was I who sent the gifts, it was not easy for the professors of the Sword Academy to give such good comments.

Fu Qian sighed in his heart, and the next moment he finally turned the topic back to business.

"What do you think of Honma-nii's situation?"

Aren’t you worried that the other party’s mentality may change after hearing the test, affecting the test results?

Ji Liushuang noticed keenly that at that moment Honma was finally stunned for a moment because of this sentence.

But the doubt only lasted for a moment. She was always confident in her methods of dealing with the problem, so she quickly came to a conclusion after taking a quick look.

"I still agree with what Professor Chang said. We may still be far from true liberation, but it does seem to be getting better compared to the previous situation."

Considering that this is a serious scientific research exploration, her wording is mild but not deliberately optimistic.

"And this item does seem to have a certain promoting effect in this regard."

……

It can be seen that Honma, who had already made up his mind to enter the state of "let him be as strong as he can", seemed to want to defend himself at that moment.

But in the end, he seemed to remember Fu Qian's request, and even the sword in his hand, and chose to continue waiting for the call.

"It certainly looks like that, and judging from Professor Chang's notes, other people have similar reactions. Okay, it's about time."

Fu Qian, who had seen the whole change, nodded in agreement the next moment and sheathed the sword that the compiler had handed back.

"Here, show me your recent gains again."

Just when Ji Liushuang thought that Fu Qian was finally ready to start asking questions, he unexpectedly made a new request and gestured at Honma with his chin.

  The latest harvest, the Sword Prison of the Heart?

Ji Liushuang naturally reacted instantly to what Professor Fu was pointing at.

Although it doesn't mean she understands the intention.

  Worried that Honma is lying?

This is undoubtedly the most intuitive use of the Sword Prison of the Heart.

But considering the characteristics of this ability, I seem to have to ask it individually, and I need to carefully consider the content...

The thought flashed through his mind, but it did not affect Ji Liushuang's actions at all.

Just as Honma couldn't suppress his curiosity and turned his head to look, the dagger had already been unsheathed and pointed directly at his eyes.

This……

The next moment, pure white expanded without surprise.

While squinting at the victim, Ji Liushuang didn't even have time to say anything before she discovered that Professor Fu appeared out of nowhere and "squeezed" in with a weird posture. (End of this chapter)
