foreigner's journey

Chapter 310 Test
After knocking on the door, room 202 was silent.

Tifa stood awkwardly in front of the door and waited quietly, her hands clasped in front of her belly, her fingers twisted unconsciously.

After about half a minute, the door suddenly opened.

Heather was wearing a dark blue jacket and sweatpants, and cheap sneakers for mobility.His black hair was messy, his eyes behind the glasses were half-lidded, and he glanced at Tifa after opening the door: "I remember I said [6 o'clock in the morning] yesterday."

Tifa let out an 'ah', then bowed and apologized in embarrassment: "Yes, I'm sorry, I came early and disturbed you, brother..."

"Forget it, let's go earlier this time. Remember to be on time next time."

Heather picked up a cowhide handbook on the table at the door and put it in the inner pocket of the coat, then waved her hand. Seeing this, Tifa quickly took two steps to the side to make room for the former to walk out of room 202 Lock the door: "Come with me."

Following Heather, Tifa walked down the narrow corridor on the second floor of Tianwangzhuang and down the stairs.When stepping on the metal steps, Tifa deliberately walked lightly, so as not to disturb Grandma Marlene's rest.Then she was surprised to find that Brother Heather's walking posture was normal, but it didn't make the rusty metal steps make the slightest sound, just like a cat walking lightly.

【Just like a ghost】... Tifa thought for no reason what Grandma Marleh said to her senior brother last night.

At the same time, Tifa secretly guessed in his heart, did the senior brother deliberately slow down because of the rest of Grandma Marle?You obviously know how to take care of others, why do you have to put on an indifferent attitude?

The two walked in the direction of the outer wall of Midgar along the dimly lit Qifan Street slum street.Heather just walked forward in silence and her speed was neither fast nor slow, which happened to be Tifa's speed between a fast walk and a trot.

Heather didn't speak, and Tifa didn't know how to strike up a conversation, and she had to trot all the way to keep up with Heather after recovering from a serious illness.

The closer to the direction of the outer wall, the rarer the residential facilities.There are discarded construction waste, broken tires, rusty steel bars and huge pipes piled up everywhere in the upper city. The barbed wire used for isolation has long been rusted.

The two quickly walked through the empty waste area and came to a barren open space.It is already very close to the almost endless towering outer wall, and you can even see some colors that the sky should have through the edge gap of the huge steel disc above your head.

Heather looked around, the quietness in the dimly lit open space seemed a bit too quiet, there were gravel and stone piles everywhere, and in the distance was a broken metal passage.

He nodded, and turned to look at Tifa: "That's it. I'll give you ten seconds to adjust your breathing, and then use all your means to attack me."

"Ah...ah?" Tifa, who was panting heavily with her hands on her waist, looked at Heather in surprise, not even wiping the sweat off her forehead: "Brother, what did you say?"

"You have 7 seconds left."

Heather looked at Tifa with her hands hanging down like this. Although she didn't put on a posture, Tifa could feel the [momentum] rising from her senior brother.

Brother is serious!

Tifa clenched his fists in a gesture of praising Ganliu martial arts, ready to fight.The senior brother is called by the master a super genius who has not seen it for decades, and he is just a novice who has learned Zanganliu martial arts for more than a year, so he must concentrate all his energy.

3 seconds!
Tifa secretly encouraged herself, it's no problem, didn't she also kill the monster in Mohuang Mountain?Tifa, you can do it.

2 seconds!
The slender and pale little fists were clenched tightly, Tifa didn't want her senior brother to feel that she was not worth being taught, she wanted to show her senior brother her potential in Zaganliu martial arts.

1 seconds!
Heather hooked her fingers at Tifa.

drink!
Tifa's feet suddenly exerted strength, and the whole body rushed towards Heather.She turned her left fist into a palm, and the bottom of her palm hit Heather's chin, but Heather easily avoided it.The girl's long-stored right fist took advantage of the situation and was blocked by Heather with one hand.

The two attacked and defended, and the sound of fists and feet colliding continued to be heard in the open space.

Heather didn't treat Tifa with a slack attitude, but put on a defensive posture very seriously, constantly shrugging off or avoiding Tifa's offensive.

The girl used all the skills she had learned and used her own Zaganliu fighting style to continuously attack Heather.Master Zanganliu said that each of his disciples' Zanganliu fighting skills will incorporate their own style, which is exactly the spirit of Zanganliu.

Compared with Master's heavy, powerful and thunderous attack method, Tifa prefers a smooth and smooth attack.Even though Zanganliu martial arts does not have the technique of moving and attacking in the strict sense, Tifa's fists and feet are very flexible, and the girl's body also shows unusual flexibility. She can always move quickly In the process, he attacked with unimaginable angles and postures.

If it was an ordinary person as the opponent, maybe facing this 15-year-old girl would be a little bit flustered, right?

The attack and defense between the two lasted for about 5 minutes. Seeing that Tifa's speed and punching strength had dropped visibly to the naked eye, Heather grabbed Tifa's side kick and pushed it forward. The girl Staggered and fell to the ground.

"Okay, that's it for now."

Heather didn't go to help Tifa, but took out the cowhide notebook with the pen from the inner pocket of the jacket, opened it and wrote something on it.

Tifa sat on the ground for a while and then slowly got up. It was amazing to say that since the fire, his mood has been as gloomy as a rainy night, which is difficult to melt away, but after the hearty 5 minutes ago Attacking as much as he wanted, his mood seemed to become a little more comfortable.

I lost my hometown, lost my family, and came to Midgar suddenly. I don’t even know how to earn the money for the next meal, and where is the way forward... But at least, I still have hands, feet, and learning. From the master's own ability.As long as you work hard, there must be a way.

"As long as you learn it, no one can take it away."

Heather, who lowered her head to write on the notebook, suddenly said this sentence without thinking, then stopped writing and looked up at Tifa:

"You have practiced very well, and you have incorporated your own characteristics on the basis of Zanganliu."

Suddenly receiving praise from her senior, Tifa's pretty face turned bright red: "It's because Master taught well."

"Zangan has always liked free-range teaching. To put it bluntly, it is to let students grow up freely, so don't give him money."

Heather clearly understands Zangan's style: "This is Midgar, and the lower city is full of fish and dragons. Anything can happen. So you need to become stronger. Remember, what you learn can't be taken away by anyone." .”

As he spoke, he handed the cowhide notebook to Tifa, who took it with both hands and found that what Heather had written in the notebook was a detailed analysis of his fighting style.

Heather pointed to the writing on the paper and said: "Your strength is insufficient but your speed is fast. You need to exercise in a targeted manner. Strengthen your strength and physical strength on the basis of ensuring speed, otherwise you will not be able to deal with it in the face of a multi-person fight." .For the next three months, come to me every morning at six o’clock, and I will make an exercise plan to restore your physical strength to the level before the injury as soon as possible, and then start the practice of Zanganliu martial arts.”

Although Heather's tone was harsh, Tifa could feel the concern from her senior brother.She nodded heavily: "Please, brother."

"Don't use 'you', am I that old?"

Heather looked around: "This place is very secluded and suitable for cultivation, so I'll come here in the future. Now, the next stop."

"Huh?" Tifa thought she was going to start training today.

Heather glanced at her: "Oh, what, you need to find a job, otherwise even if Marle cut your rent in half, you still can't afford it."

Only then did Tifa realize that her assets were less than 500GIL, and she couldn't even afford this month's rent.

"But before looking for a job..."

Heather pointed to the direction of Qifan Street Station:

"Go and have breakfast first."
