Chapter 10

“Ning An, why is he also here?” Because he was glared at this morning, Derek was already labelled as ‘dangerous’, ‘fierce’ and ‘stay away from him’ in He Xin’s heart.

When He Xin first saw Derek, he was slightly terrified and hid behind Ning An, but then he suddenly realised that it was even more dangerous for Ning An to face him. He Xin quietly stood out again, looking like he wanted to conceal Ning An. Seeing this ‘mother hen protecting her children’ kind of action, Derek couldn’t help but laugh.

“Pfft haha…… Sorry, sorry.” Derek extended his hand towards the two of them. “Good evening, student Ning An, student He Xin.”

“Why does he know my name?” He Xin hurriedly lowered his voice and asked Ning An.

“Did you forget that you two already added each other on your terminals? Relax.” Ning An shook Derek’s outstretched hand. “Good evening, student Liszt.”

He Xin also reluctantly followed after Ning An and shook Derek’s hand. “Good evening.”

“I think his close combat skills are very strong. I’m a little worried about my final exam results so I asked him if he could be my sparring partner. He agreed.” Although Ning An also couldn’t understand what happened in the morning, after considering that it was best to make full use of available resources, he took the initiative to contact Derek. The latter very straightforwardly agreed.

“Then, I’ll go first.” Since this was Ning An’s own decision, He Xin also couldn’t say much. Thinking for a moment, he still decided to go up first. Summoning up his courage, he looked at Derek and said, “Sorry for the wait. I’ll go first.”

“Please.”

Unsurprisingly, He Xin couldn’t even survive 3 moves before Derek performed a shoulder throw and threw him onto the soft mat.

“Are you okay?” Seeing He Xin sprawled on his back with a bewildered expression on his face, Derek felt a little guilty as though he had bullied someone. Reaching out his hand, he pulled He Xin up.

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” He Xin shook his head and returned to his senses. The suffocating oppression from just a moment ago was already gone, but getting knocked down so quickly still gave him a blow. He softly whispered, “I’m actually such a weakling ah……”

Derek laughed again, and after he saw He Xin stare at him with grievance, he hurriedly explained, “I’m not mocking you, really. I have systematically trained in close combat before, but this is probably your first time so it’ll be very easy for people to find openings and catch you. Also, the suppression from my pheromones is also a factor.”

“So it’s actually like this. Thank you.” He Xin was more or less comforted, especially when Derek gave an explanation for his sudden oppressive feeling during the fight. Otherwise, He Xin had still thought that it was because he was too much of a coward. Now, he seemed to be in a much better mood. “I will study hard in class. Next time, I won’t let you win so easily.”

Derek’s eyes were shaken by that dazzling smile. “Okay. You’re welcome to come find me at any time.”

He then turned to Ning An, who was watching the fight from the side. “Student Ning An, do you want to come up?”

“Okay.”

Ning An stood opposite Derek, while Derek continued to size him up. Physique thin and weak; slender arms and legs; at a glance, he didn’t have much meat on his body. Derek estimated that Ning An wouldn’t even be able to stand a single move.

That oppressive feeling came again. He Xin subconsciously sat a little further away. Seeing that Ning An did not seem the least bit affected by this oppression, he was first shocked, and then felt respect. So Ning An was actually stronger than what he had thought? Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover. When he goes back, he must tell Chen Si Yu and Wang Yi.

Hm… This is a little interesting. Derek looked at the calm and tranquil Ning An opposite him and raised his eyebrows. He had only seen this kind of expression on Fu Ke’s face before. It seemed to be deeply hidden.
