Just after Aili fell asleep.
In her dream, Aili arrived at a platform above the clouds.
Fu Hua stood before her.
"Fu Hua! Wait! Aili doesn't want to train right now!" Aili exclaimed immediately upon seeing her.
"Mmm, you already trained this morning. You don't need to train now." Fu Hua walked over to Aili, nodding as she spoke.
"Phew." Hearing what Fu Hua said, Aili sighed in relief.
"Aili thought she'd have to keep training ♬~" Aili sat cross-legged directly on the ground.
Although she didn't feel any soreness now, she somehow felt she shouldn't be standing so easily at this moment.
"Relax here for a bit. You worked hard during this morning's training." Fu Hua said, standing beside Aili.
Listening to Fu Hua's words, Aili's eyes widened as she stared at Fu Hua.
Her gaze seemed to say, 'Who are you! My Fu Hua wouldn't be so caring!'
Seeing Aili's expression, Fu Hua sighed.
"I am not an inflexible person. Training should be progressive. Today's training has met its standard, so no extra training is needed." Fu Hua walked to the edge of the platform, looking at the clouds outside.
"Oh, I thought, Fu Hua, you'd just train me no matter what." Aili said, lying on the ground.
She looked up at the blue sky.
"Fu Hua, I've wanted to ask before, where is this platform?" Aili asked curiously.
"This is merely a dream."
"No, no, Aili means, where is this platform in reality? The sky looks so beautiful from here ♬~" Aili said with a smile.
"Just looking at a sky like this makes me feel so much lighter, like I can grasp anything." Aili stretched a hand towards the sky.
"This is the summit of Mount Taixu." Fu Hua didn't understand what Aili meant by those words, but she knew the location of this platform.
"The summit of Mount Taixu? It's a shame that last time I went to Mount Taixu with Fu Hua, I didn't get to see the summit." Aili said with some regret.
"There will be opportunities to go." Fu Hua said, looking at Aili.
"Oh, Fu Hua, next time Aili goes to Mount Taixu, she won't encounter illusions anymore, right?" Aili turned her head to look at Fu Hua.
"No, Mount Taixu's trial only needs to be passed once." Fu Hua walked over to Aili and sat down cross-legged on the spot.
"Don't overthink it. Just rest here for a moment. This place will quickly restore your mental fatigue." After saying that, Fu Hua closed her eyes.
Hearing Fu Hua say this, Aili closed her eyes on the ground.
She felt the surrounding tranquility, with an occasional gentle breeze blowing over her.
Her fatigue also seemed to be blown away by the wind.
Before long, Aili fell asleep in the dream.
Looking at the sleeping Aili, Fu Hua opened her eyes.
She felt a bit helpless now. She hadn't expected that someone's deepest thought in a dream would still be to sleep.
But since she wanted to sleep, she might as well let her.
The space formed by this dream slowly disappeared.
Aili floated in the air.
Soon, Aili felt someone poking her face.
"Bronya, look, Elysia's face is so soft."
"Bronya believes Elysia is about to wake up." Bronya saw Aili's eyebrows twitching.
As Bronya's words fell, Aili also opened her eyes.
But Kiana was still poking her.
"Kiana, Aili is already awake. Can you please stop poking?" Aili propped herself up with her arms.
Her arms were still a bit sore, but at least she could move them.
"Nanan, Elysia, why are you sleeping at home? Didn't you go train with Fu Hua Class Monitor?" Kiana asked curiously.
"I was just tired." Aili said, looking at her hands.
"Eh? Was today's training volume really that high? Even Elysia couldn't keep going?" Kiana's eyes widened.
"Kiana, if you want, Aili can put in a good word with Sister Himeko and let you experience it too ♬~" Aili said with a smile.
Seeing Aili's smile, Kiana shivered, feeling as if Aili was about to trick her again.
"Elysia, never mind, I love to study!" With that, Kiana scurried out of the living room.
Training with Fu Hua Class Monitor, and at Elysia's intensity? Did she think Kiana was an idiot? That would be deadly!
Kiana thought this as she ran upstairs.
"Sigh, it seems Kiana can get scared too." Aili shook her head with some regret.
"Even if Kiana is an idiot, she can still be scared, Elysia." Bronya said, picking up a Homu doll from the sofa and hugging it.
"That's true, but I can get scared too." Aili said, looking at her hands.
"Fu Hua's training is truly terrifying." Aili squeezed her fists, finding she still couldn't exert much strength.
"Elysia, Fu Hua Class Monitor should customize the training according to your data, right?" Bronya reached out and squeezed Aili's wrist.
Aili's brows immediately furrowed.
It didn't hurt, but it was so sore.
Only after Bronya released her hand did Aili let out a sigh of relief.
"Today wasn't physical training. Today, I practiced close combat with Fu Hua." Aili sighed as she spoke.
Sparring with Fu Hua was truly demoralizing.
Even though she knew Fu Hua's situation, no matter how she attacked, it felt like hitting cotton.
"Then Elysia must have been overexerting herself." Bronya said.
Aili looked a bit dejected, "Mmm, Aili did overexert herself, but I really wanted to hit her once!"
Hearing this, Bronya stopped looking at Aili.
Because Fu Hua Class Monitor would definitely hold back, and judging by Elysia sleeping at home, Fu Hua Class Monitor must have already helped relieve Elysia's physical fatigue.
Otherwise, Elysia might still be lying down right now, unable to even sit up.
She laboriously took out her phone and checked the time.
"Eh! Have I really been asleep for so long?" Aili looked at the time on her phone in surprise.
In other words, she had slept from after lunch until dinner time?
"Elysia, when did you start resting?" Bronya asked curiously.
"Aili has been lying here since after lunch." Aili touched her forehead.
Hearing Aili's words, Bronya's eyes widened as she stared at Aili.
In other words, their Fu Hua Class Monitor had exhausted Elysia like this in just one morning?
And their Fu Hua Class Monitor had still attended her training class normally in the afternoon?
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Aili looked at the stunned Bronya.
"Elysia, Fu Hua Class Monitor attended her training class normally in the afternoon." After Bronya said this, she stopped looking at Aili.
"Fu Hua... she attended... her training class normally in the afternoon?!" Aili suddenly felt completely drained.
In other words, was a morning's training just child's play for Fu Hua, or was sparring with her just a warm-up?
