The students in the class quickly formed their groups. Unsurprisingly, Megumi Kato ended up completely left out.
She had been standing right next to Ren Isana and Yukino Yukinoshita the entire time, but whenever someone came over to invite Yukino, they would subconsciously ignore her.
This situation finally allowed Yukino to witness just how absurd Megumi's talent was. She was simply a born assassin.
"Everyone has formed their groups, right? You three over there, how are you splitting up?" Shizuka Hiratsuka scanned the classroom before her gaze landed on Ren's side.
Hearing Shizuka's words, the rest of the class froze. *Three?* Everyone immediately turned their eyes toward Ren's direction.
*Where is the third person? There are clearly only two!* This was everyone's first thought, but they quickly realized something was off.
"Wait!! How is there someone else next to them?" A student with sharper perception gradually reacted. He only noticed her after completely focusing his attention.
Otherwise, he would have subconsciously ignored the girl standing right beside Ren.
Hearing this, the crowd was bewildered. *What nonsense is he spouting? There are obviously only two people.*
The others still hadn't noticed Megumi. One could only say that her talent was far too absolute.
"Alright, that student's talent is a bit special. You, come here. I'll pair up with you." Seeing this, Shizuka immediately spoke up to stop the noisy students.
She then had Megumi follow her, planning to personally instruct the girl.
Hearing the teacher's words, Megumi hurriedly stepped forward. The rest of the class finally concentrated their focus, and only then did they manage to see her.
Discovering that there really was such a classmate, everyone was shocked. *Isn't this way too ridiculous? How can her presence be this low?*
"Alright, everyone get ready and start your sparring!" Once Megumi came over, Shizuka shouted an order before leading her to an empty space.
She began to give Megumi private tutoring. With a talent like hers, she absolutely needed to learn assassination techniques!
"Let's begin as well." Seeing Megumi called away, Yukino turned her gaze to Ren.
Hearing this, Ren naturally had no objections. The two of them found an open spot in the spacious classroom.
Looking at Ren, Yukino said with a completely serious expression, "Isana-kun, I hope you won't hold back! Please go all out!"
Asking him to go all out right from the start showed she wasn't intimidated in the slightest. She really wasn't afraid of him injuring her.
However, on second thought, Ren remembered what Yukino had told him earlier about her talent... "No problem. Let's begin!"
As he spoke, Ren assumed a fighting stance. Since she had specifically asked him to go all out, what was there to hesitate about?
Seeing this, Yukino also took up a starting stance. The two exchanged a glance, and then Ren moved.
With a single step, Ren instantly dashed in front of Yukino. He clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it directly toward her delicate face.
*A fully charged haymaker!*
Watching Ren aim a punch straight at her face, Yukino's face instantly turned green.
*Is this bastard doing this on purpose, or is he just careless? If that punch lands, won't my face be bruised and swollen?!*
So, Yukino hurriedly forced herself to dodge to Ren's right. She quickly reached out to grab his fist, preparing to throw him over.
However, she had underestimated him. The moment she grabbed his arm, before she could even make a move, she felt a sudden shockwave erupt from it.
A surge of True Qi exploded from Ren's arm, forcefully knocking her hand away. This left Yukino completely stunned.
*How long has it been? Has he already mastered this kind of technique? And isn't the amount of True Qi this guy has a bit too excessive?*
While Yukino was lost in thought, Ren had already adjusted his posture and launched another attack.
Pivoting his body, Ren unleashed a spinning whip kick aimed straight at her head.
Seeing this, Yukino had no choice but to channel her strength to stabilize her stance and raise her arms to block.
A massive force erupted upon impact, the sheer power leaving Yukino's arms completely numb.
After this wave of attacks, Ren quickly pulled back to create some distance. He looked at Yukino and asked, "Are you okay?"
Hearing his words and feeling the stinging pain in her arms, Yukino gritted her teeth. "I'm fine. Let's continue!"
Seeing her unyielding expression, Ren immediately understood. *This girl really hates losing.*
Since that was the case, he would just have to increase the intensity. With that thought in mind, Ren launched another assault.
He began to display all the martial arts techniques he had learned today. For a time, Yukino struggled to keep up, turning into the victim of a one-sided beatdown.
However, her progress was also quite fast. While fending off Ren's attacks, she began to condense her own True Qi.
Perhaps due to the constant pressure from Ren, her speed in condensing True Qi increased significantly.
Under Ren's relentless offensive, Yukino finally managed to condense her True Qi.
She became the second person in the class to achieve this. None of the other students had reached this stage yet.
The moment Yukino condensed her True Qi, Shizuka immediately shifted her gaze over.
Seeing that Yukino had only managed to condense her True Qi under Ren's intense pressure, she couldn't help but feel amused.
In this world, she had known Yukino for a long time and had previously been her homeroom teacher.
She understood this child incredibly well. From a young age, her academic performance had always been exceptionally outstanding.
Furthermore, she had awakened a rather impressive talent. Because of this, Yukino's personality was actually quite proud.
She just hadn't expected that right after arriving at a new school and a new class, she would immediately suffer a setback. Perhaps this was actually a good thing.
Thinking of this, Shizuka didn't say anything, simply allowing Ren to continue battering Yukino.
*It would be best if he beat her black and blue. That way, her arrogance will be ground away.*
She hoped Yukino would understand that there is always someone better out there. Being too proud wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Yukino had no idea what Shizuka was thinking. Feeling that she had broken through, she was filled with pleasant surprise.
Then, she decisively launched a counterattack against Ren. Utilizing her talent's mastery over her body, she coated her fists in True Qi and began trading blows with him.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
The sound of their clash changed. With every collision, a series of heavy thuds echoed out.
This was the sound of True Qi colliding. Such a commotion immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students who were sparring.
Seeing that Yukino had condensed True Qi, everyone was deeply shocked. *Isn't this speed way too fast?*
