"Nux Leander, I want you to spar with me."
Arvina muttered as she stood up from her seat and walked towards Nux.
"Huh?" Nux frowned and then, he smiled,
"Teacher Arvina, there are better ways to take revenge for your student, you know?
I mean, you, as an Expert Stage Cultivator asking an Advance Stage Cultivator to spar is a little…"
"Trust me, if I wanted to take revenge, I would have beheaded you right here and right now, and no one would have said anything to me." Arvina retorted.
Nux turned silent.
Just like Amaya said, this woman was too direct and her hatred for men was apparent.
I mean, what sane teacher talks about beheading her student right in front of him?
Someone like Arvina can easily overwhelm a normal student just by her presence.
Of course, Nux was different.
No matter how dominant Arvina's aura was, there was no way she could overwhelm someone who was stronger than her.
"What do I get in return?" Nux questioned.
"Huh?" Arvina frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"Sparring with you isn't exactly easy, Teacher Arvina.
If I do it, what will I get in return?" Nux questioned.
"Of course, you can also threaten me with your status and strength, but rather than going through that troublesome process, it is just better to just bribe me with something."
Arvina narrowed her eyes.
"Don't you value your life? Or do you like getting threatened by others?"
Nux chuckled,
"Of course, I value my life, however, I won't be threatened by others."
Nux narrowed his eyes as well, "I would rather die than live like a coward."
Arvina was taken aback by his response, however, soon, a small smile appeared on her face before it disappeared the next second.
Of course, that second was enough for Nux to catch it.
'Got it.'
He smiled inwardly when he noticed that smile.
It was a long shot, but he was successful in the end.
Arvina Skyfall was a warrior, what does a warrior like the most?
Pride and Fearlessness.
Of course, Nux calls it arrogance and foolishness, but if it impresses Arvina even a little, then they are pride and fearlessness.
"What do you want? If it is something reasonable, I will give it to you." Arvina replied.
"I want you to become my Teacher."
"Huh?" Arvina was taken aback.
"Fighting against Candice made me realize that I might not be as good as I think I am. My swordsmanship is… unrefined.
So I want you to teach me,"
Nux explained his reasoning.
No, he wasn't doing this just because he wanted to spend more time with Arvina, well, that was 90% of the reason, however, the other 10 % was because he actually wanted to learn from her.
So what he said was genuine.
And Arvina sensed that and nodded,
"It is good that you can think about improving yourself even after winning the match against Candice."
Nux shook his head,
"She wasn't someone who can be seen as a threshold, there are a lot stronger people than her out there. She was just too weak, there is no point celebrating a victory against someone like her."
"You do realize that she is my student, correct?" Arvina questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
"Bad Student."
Nux answered.
"Arrogant, selfish and wastes a lot of time on useless stuff. Heh. Queen of the Academy? What kind of bullshit is that? Whenever you see her, you find her walking around with a few of her dogs following behind her.
A girl who has no understanding of how the world works and just likes to live in that fake 'Kingdom' she has created in her own mind.
She is the prime example of a bad student.
I, however, am different.
At the very least, I won't lose to some random student even whom I have challenged on my own and spoil your name."
Nux answered and a smile appeared on Arvina's face and this time, her smile did not disappear.
"Alright, I'll take you as my personal student."
Nux smiled,
"Than-"
However, before he could complete, Arvina brought her face dangerously close to his and smiled,
"However, your words have made me a little too excited.
So if you fail to live up to my expectations, do not even think about getting away scratch free."
For some reason, Nux's heart skipped a beat when he heard those words.
*Gulp*
He gulped.
He felt that he has done something he shouldn't have done.
However, he soon came back to his senses and nodded,
"I will not disappoint you, teacher."
Arvina finally backed away and then, her face turned serious,
"Alright, now as your teacher, I would like to point out a few things I found about your fighting style.
As you said, your fighting style is unrefined.
You are not well trained, you were not taught by anyone.
Of course, since you were a commoner, I would say that you had no one to teach you.
Whatever you know comes from experience, you have used your sword and fought many life-threatening battles.
If I were to guess, you have visited Bloodhill Wilder quite a few times and have trained there.
Am I correct?"
Nux blinked a few times and then, he nodded.
Arvina smiled and continued,
"Fighting against humans and star beasts is completely different.
Humans are intelligent, while Star Beasts have a fixed pattern, humans are unpredictable, and every human has a different fighting style.
This is why, whenever you fight against a human, you would realize that some of your moves, that the beasts generally won't block, will be blocked and countered by humans.
That is why you feel that your fighting style is unrefined.
You lack training, so finding a teacher was a wise decision."
Nux nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a wooden sword appeared in Arvina's hands and she pointed it at Nux.
"I also have another theory in my mind, however, I am still not sure about this.
That is the reason why I wanted you to spar with me."
