After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jiaoqiu smiled and asked the group, "What brings you all here today? Could it be that you've come to lend me a hand? If so, I'm truly flattered."
"Ah, well, it's like this. I'm representing the Luofu in the Kendou Ceremony, but I'm not feeling very confident about myself," March 7th said, a bit sheepishly. "I heard that Dr. Jiaoqiu is well-read and knowledgeable, so I was hoping to ask for your advice. Specifically... are there any secret manuals or anything that can quickly boost one's martial prowess?"
"Oh? Miss March's desire to improve herself is certainly commendable," Jiaoqiu said, fanning himself leisurely. "However, there is no martial art in this world that can instantly increase your strength without side effects. If there truly is such a shortcut, I suppose it would be to focus, work hard, lay a solid foundation, thoroughly master what you've learned, and strive for perfection. That is the only real shortcut."
