Chapter 123: Tianming, I'll Give You a Chance to Train Me!
After answering Jiang Han's video call, Lin Tianming remembered that he had class today.
He hurried to the Thunder Awakening field, munching on some cloud cakes along the way.
Students with lightning-related abilities at the Imperial Capital University, from first-year to fourth-year, spent most of their time training at the Thunder Awakening field.
The Thunder Awakening field where Lin Tianming and his teacher Jiang Han held their daily classes was just one of many fields clustered together.
Yesterday's battle had boosted the morale of the entire Imperial Capital University. As soon as Lin Tianming entered the area designated for lightning ability training, many students recognized him.
"Isn't that Lin Tianming, who has a whole field and receives private lessons from Teacher Jiang Han?"
"It really is him. Why is he coming at this time today?"
"Maybe he doesn't have class. The university doesn't have classes every morning; the schedule is quite flexible. It can be in the morning or afternoon, or sometimes there's a break, all arranged according to each class's specific situation. He probably has no class today and is just wandering around!"
"Hey! Good morning, freshman Lin Tianming! I'm your second-year senior. Yesterday, you were awesome in that fight with Meng Xiyue from another school!"
Hearing someone greet him, Lin Tianming waved and greeted the lightning ability students.
Skilled at finding the training hall where he took individual lessons, Lin Tianming was ready for the scolding from Jiang Han. He walked in.
Jiang Han, who had been waiting for the tardy Lin Tianming for a long time, was in a foul mood.
Especially when she saw him with his hands full of cloud cakes and eating, her mood worsened.
[This brat! Have I been too lenient with him? He's becoming more and more insolent in my class!]
[Late again and eating in front of me!]
Lin Tianming, hearing the anger in Jiang Han's thoughts, immediately greeted her, "Good morning, Teacher Jiang Han!"
"I never told you that you could be so relaxed as to eat during my class!"
Facing Jiang Han's stern reprimand, Lin Tianming explained.
"Well... Teacher Jiang Han, I sparred with Meng Xiyue yesterday and fell asleep as soon as I got back. I didn't even have dinner last night, so I'm a bit hungry, hehe."
Hearing his explanation, Jiang Han's anger in her beautiful eyes softened, replaced by a hint of worry.
Under Lin Tianming's puzzled gaze, Jiang Han, who had just been frosty, began to circle him and check him over.
[He slept so long after yesterday's fight? Did it leave any aftereffects?]
[I need to check carefully to make sure nothing serious affects Tianming's future growth!]
Hearing Jiang Han's concerned thoughts, Lin Tianming realized she was worried about potential aftereffects from his sparring with Meng Xiyue.
He felt happy about her concern.
At least it showed that his approach to winning over Teacher Jiang Han was starting to work.
Jiang Han enjoyed nurturing games, so he would play along, letting her immerse herself in training him!
After circling him several times and confirming that his body was fine, Jiang Han finally felt relieved.
[It seems the battle was just too intense, causing him to be exhausted and sleep so long. His body is fine.]
[Having only had lunch yesterday and snacking on cloud cakes this morning is not enough.]
[Maybe I should take him to eat something nutritious?]
Jiang Han's changing thoughts were all overheard by Lin Tianming.
He was deeply moved.
Teacher Jiang Han was really considerate of him!
But he was almost full after eating so many cloud cakes in his dorm and on the way. He couldn't eat any more.
He was almost full after finishing the few he had left.
But Jiang Han couldn't read his mind, so she suggested, "Having only had lunch yesterday is not enough. Let's go to the cafeteria and get you something to eat!"
Lin Tianming, almost full, waved her off, "No need, Teacher Jiang Han. I ate a lot of cloud cakes in the dorm and on the way. I'm almost full, no need to trouble you!"
Jiang Han, remembering seeing him eating cloud cakes in the dorm during the video call, relented.
"Next time, if something similar happens, don't fill up on snacks. They're just small treats; you need proper meals if you're really hungry. Understand?"
"Got it, hehe!"
Successfully defusing Jiang Han's anger and receiving her care, Lin Tianming felt a bit smug.
He openly finished the remaining cloud cakes in front of Jiang Han, patted his stomach, and declared, "Alright, Teacher Jiang Han, I'm ready for your special training!"
To his surprise, Jiang Han said, "You don't need special training today."
Lin Tianming was stunned.
Didn't she call him here?
Why no special training?
"Why?"
Jiang Han didn't answer directly, but her thoughts revealed the reason.
[Because you had a big fight yesterday, expending a lot of energy, and went a day without eating. Snacking on non-nutritious food this morning won't give you the strength for special training.]
[You'd probably be exhausted before long!]
With this thought, Jiang Han's hand flashed with lightning, and she struck Lin Tianming's chest unexpectedly.
The not-so-intense lightning knocked him back and left him gasping for breath.
Jiang Han said, "Now do you understand why?"
Lin Tianming smiled bitterly, "I see. I didn't expect to be this weak even after eating."
Jiang Han gave him a stern look, "That's why I wanted to take you to eat something nutritious. You're weak and snacks won't help!"
[Originally, I wanted to optimize your training plan this morning. Now I can only let it go. You need to rest and recover today!]
Although Lin Tianming heard Jiang Han's thoughts about not training him today, he pretended not to know.
"My bad. So what do we do now?"
Jiang Han, pondering, thought,
[Even without training, I can't let this kid who doesn't know how to take care of himself go back. He might just snack again and come back weak tomorrow, unable to train his abilities!]
[Yes, I need to keep an eye on him today. Maybe take him to my place? I'll make sure he eats well and recovers, so he has the strength for training tomorrow!]
[In the previous life, when I first helped him develop the God Hand ability, I kept him by my side, eating and sleeping with him, to fully understand its capabilities.]
[This life, I haven't taken him to my place...]
Having decided to oversee Lin Tianming's diet and help him recover, Jiang Han wasn't planning to leave immediately.
Recalling Lin Tianming's Soul Capture skill, Jiang Han smiled.
"Tianming, I'll give you a chance to train me!"
