Villain Lady

- In the academy -

This was Wei Liuying first time entering the boy's section area. She always thought that the place was similar to the girls, but she was wrong. They have large lawns where they would be able to learn archery, horse riding, and swordsmanship too. Aside from that, the large library was also very eye catching.

"Where do they hold the assessment this time, First Brother?" Wei Liuying asked.

Wei Yijun pointed to the right side of the field. "You can head there and find Teacher Su. He'll help you out."

"Alright, thank you, First Brother."

Wei Liuying acted all natural as she jumped out of the carriage and strode to the field. She had seen her brother did this countless times in the past. From the back, Wei Yijun merely shook his head, thinking that his younger brother was too energetic today.

"Young Master, this way," Huo gave direction from behind.

"Ok."

Without even turning around, Wei Liuying could sense the direction that Huo pointed at. She noticed a middle aged man standing there. He looked quite old, but the aura around him could easily scare young boys. Wei Liuying was not that afraid, but she showed more restraint in front of him.

"Teacher Su!" Wei Liuying cupped her hands.

Teacher Su turned his head and looked at Wei Liuying. He arched his eyebrows. "You have finally return, Hong Zheng. I thought you would have forgotten about the hunt because of your wound."

"There's no way I'm going to forget something as important as this," Wei Liuying intended to scoff, but she looked like she restrained herself. "Teacher, I come for the assessment."

"Are you sure that you won't strain yourself?" Teacher Su's eyes looked at Wei Liuying's leg. The incident last time was not a secret, so he knew that Wei Hong Zheng had wounded his legs.

Wei Liuying nodded energetically. "Rest assured, Teacher Su. I have already healed!"

"Alright, we'll test out your swords' skill first. Come with me to the field."

Teacher Su threw a wooden sword to Wei Liuying. She caught it easily and jogged to the field. Huo was waiting on the sidelines, watching Wei Liuying with his gaze intently. He knew that even a little mistake might send their plan into the drain.

"Ready, start!"

Tak!

Wei Liuying dashed forward and brandished the sword. Wei Hong Zheng's style was completely different from her. He was usually very brainless and simply attacked wherever he found a spot that was open. However, Wei Hong Zheng was also very nimble, which was something that Wei Liuying also had.

Swish!

Making use of the various attack from Wei Hong Zheng that she knew from their practice, Wei Liuying continued to attack Teacher Su. Her movement was a bit more crude compared to Wei Hong Zheng, but it was already similar enough.

"Alright. That's enough," Teacher Su said after a while. He nodded. "Your skill is still more or less the same, but you need to learn how to use your brain more."

"Yes, Teacher Su," Wei Liuying replied, but her eyes were looking somewhere else. It was one of the traits that Wei Hong Zheng often did. After all, he was used to be reprimanded by the teacher.

"Let's move on to the next test."

"Yes!"

The horse riding and archery test was easy. Teacher Su conclusion was that Wei Liuying was poorer in horse riding and the archery was well done. After all, Wei Hong Zheng didn't learn archery in the past because the bow was simply too big for him and he refused to use the bow for children.

"Alright, you may participate in tomorrow's hunt," Teacher Su said with a smile. "Don't forget to train your horse riding skill. I wouldn't want you to fall off when you go hunting."

Wei Liuying merely laughed while scratching the back of her head. She made up excuse that because she was too focused on learning archery, she kind of forgotten to hone her horse riding skill any further. As the result, her skill was going a bit worse than usual.

Teacher Su took her excuse. After all, he knew that Wei Hong Zheng's legs were wounded not long ago.

"It's good that you can recover. The last class today is reading in the library. You can catch up with the others if you're hurry."

"Thank you very much, Teacher Su!"

Teacher Su waved his hand and Wei Liuying darted off. He shook his head, feeling that Wei Hong Zheng had grown naughtier. However, he felt glad that the short break didn't affect Wei Hong Zheng's skill that much. It meant that he could be rest assured that Wei Hong Zheng would be able to maintain his performance.
