Chapter 485: Chapter 169: Copy Talent [Abundant Bosom], Beep! Not Compatible with Host [7200]_3

Senior brothers leading junior brothers, stronger leading the weaker—this is a common practice in every Sword Dojo.

Due to recently helping guide the newcomers in Shiwei Hall, Aoto unknowingly developed some teaching experience.

Moments ago, upon noticing Elodie’s obvious mistake, Aoto couldn’t help but give her a pointer on impulse.

Aoto quietly waited for about half a minute, finally seeing Elodie slowly open her eyes.

"Mr. Tachibana." Elodie’s eyes shifted between her skirt-covered feet and Aoto opposite her, "How is it?"

What Elodie meant by "How is it?" naturally referred to whether her feet had successfully relaxed.

"Well... just watching like this, I can’t say for sure." Aoto smiled nonchalantly, then lifted the sword sheath resting on the ground upright, "Attack me."

"Whether your feet are properly relaxed... it’s something that can only be clearly seen in combat."

Upon hearing this, Elodie solemnly nodded, and after agreeing with an "Okay," she lifted her sword again as instructed by Aoto.

As soon as she stepped forward once more, she immediately let out a surprised gasp.

Because she discovered—her movements seemed more agile than before!

Effortlessly dodging Elodie’s thrust, Aoto raised his brows slightly, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.

"Well done, there’s been some improvement compared to before."

Elodie didn’t hear Aoto’s compliment.

Because now, she was staring incredulously at her feet, her sky-blue pupils fixedly gazing downward.

Seeing Elodie now with an expression as if she’s "discovered a new continent," Aoto couldn’t help but let out a silent chuckle.

Compared to before, Elodie’s feet indeed were no longer tensely bounding, but there was still huge room for improvement.

If Aoto were to grade her performance... Elodie’s was an improvement from 50 points to 55, still quite some distance from a perfect score.

However—although the degree of improvement wasn’t large, the fact that she could effectively adjust her movements after hearing Aoto’s brief advice once... that was indeed quite impressive.

Aoto couldn’t help but think to himself:

——This child does have some talent...

Thinking of this, Aoto couldn’t help but glance several more times at the now still-shocked young girl across from him.

After about ten seconds, Elodie finally returned to her senses.

She raised her head excitedly and said to Aoto:

"Mr. Tachibana, your advice was so helpful! I felt my footwork become a bit more nimble!"

"Rather than saying my advice is useful, it’s more accurate to say your comprehension is quite good."

Aoto sincerely praised her.

"I’ve taught quite a few people who couldn’t relax their feet like you."

"No matter how I advised or guided them, even when instructing them hands-on, they couldn’t grasp the knack of relaxing their feet."

"There aren’t many who, like you, can seize the trick of relaxing their feet in such a short time."

Upon receiving such high praise from Aoto... Elodie chuckled sheepishly a few times.

After expressing her inner joy through laughter, Elodie gradually calmed her smile and laughter, then took a deep breath, energetically spread her feet, and got ready to practice again!

She had improved... which made Elodie exceptionally happy.

Buoyed by excitement, she couldn’t wait to start sparring with Aoto again, continuing to test the results of her progress.

But... Elodie’s fighting spirit was abruptly interrupted by a female voice unexpectedly sounding from behind her—

"Miss, don’t play here! (French)"

The owner of this voice... was Leroy, who suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor behind Elodie.

After loudly signaling to Elodie not to play in the corridor, the maid who had been cleaning in the kitchen swiftly walked towards Elodie with hands folded in front of her, expressionless.

Elodie suddenly seemed like a deflated balloon, her body stiffening before slowly lowering the Thrusting Sword in her hand, pouting as she turned her head to look at Leroy.

Aoto didn’t understand what Leroy had just shouted.

But judging by Leroy and Elodie’s expressions now... he could probably guess that the maid was asking him and Elodie not to mess around here.

Thus, as Elodie lowered her Thrusting Sword, Aoto also sheathed his own sword.

However, just as Aoto was inserting the Ghost-Slaying sword sheath into his left waist... an anomaly occurred!

Aoto suddenly stiffened, and his expression changed abruptly...

"Miss, what are you doing here? (French)" After quickly walking to Elodie’s side, Leroy bluntly asked.

"I’m asking Mr. Tachibana to practice sword with me. (French)" Elodie replied.

Practice sword... upon hearing this word, Leroy’s expression slightly changed, but she quickly concealed this small emotional fluctuation, reverting to her emotionless demeanor.

"Miss, I don’t object to you asking Mr. Tachibana to practice sword, but you can’t practice here in the corridor; if the master sees this, he will surely scold you again. (French)"

"Got it." Elodie playfully stuck her tongue out at Leroy, "Then I’ll take Mr. Tachibana to practice in the yard now. (French)"
