Chapter 193: Lola’s Breakthrough
"By the way, the tournament is happening in two days. Yamamoto told me he’ll come here in two days to pick you up. Just giving you advance notice." Tanaka said, relaying Yamamoto’s words.
Two days...not too bad.
Noah nodded with appreciation for the information. "Thank you for letting me know. I’ll be ready."
Around the dojo, the quiet sound of conversations had started. Students stood clustered in pairs or small groups, whispering to one another as they stole glances at Noah.
His performance during this last sparring session had left an impression, one they were still processing. His speed, control, composure and finally skill were far beyond what they had seen from him just a day before. It was clear to everyone that something extraordinary had taken place during this day of training.
They didn’t attribute it to a system or anything supernatural; instead, they attributed it to a potential enlightenment and his monstrous talent.
This time, Noah didn’t need to take a shower. His body was so fit that he didn’t even sweat despite the practice he had done with Tanaka. After today’s sparring, he realised that the old master could no longer teach him, which was fine.
Tanaka had also told him that there was no need for him to come for training anymore; he could simply wait until the tournament and prepare. Noah didn’t act polite either, accepting the idea.
Respectful honesty rather than false modesty. Tanaka appreciated directness.
He would simply have to practise more in the other world under the guidance of Valeria, Lola and the swordsmanship manual.
Tanaka had already expressed his appreciation for Noah’s remarkable skill advancement and wished him luck in the upcoming tournament. Noah accepted graciously, thanking the experienced master for his weeks of invaluable guidance.
This time, Noah didn’t need to take a shower after their intensive sparring session. His constitution was so efficient that he hadn’t even sweated despite the training that would have exhausted his previous self.
