Most of these will be a little short but they progressively get longer, so bare with me.

You were practicing with your new polearm. You and Xiao were practicing to strike down a target side-by-side. You're "target" for this lesson was Zhongli, the best of Waungshun Funeral parler. Zhongli was reminded of this... 6 months before hand. "A surprise attack" Xiao had said.

You were at the highest rock of Mt. Muteng. Zhongli was a few meters down, enjoying some of his favorite wine. Xiao looked at you and nodded his head. As Xiao readied himself you both stretched out your weapons and flew at high speed towards Zhongli. Mid-way Xiao slowed down and decided to strike down instead. Seems like it was a surprise attack on you. Your muscles loosened around your weapon as it fell. You, however, were heading full speed for your target.

As if sencing a disturbance in the peace, Zhongli stood up from the stone table and looked around for where this disturbance may be coming from. Before he could, you crashed straight into him and fell, along with the bottle and glass on the table. With a few groans, you managed to get up and open your eyes. You were on top of Zhongli as he tried to regain balance in his brain. "Ngh..." He groaned as he opened his eyes to see you. "Oh, I'm so sorry sir!" You said as you got up. You stretched out your hand and Zhongli took it, shaking. "No, no... It's fine, really." Zhongli replied, pressing his hand against his forehead.

"How exactly did we end up with this coalition?" Zhongli asked, still a bit dazed. "Adeptus training, sir." you replied nervously. "I really tried not to harm you!" "Adeptus training? From who?" Zhongli asked. "Ah! Uh, oh. From the conquerer of demons." Zhongli looked around for a moment and saw Xiao eyes just behind some bushes. "Ah, I see." He said. "I remember being told in advance. I must've forgotten." Zhongli looked at you with a smile, then a quick glance at the bushes. "How about I teach you how to use a polearm, properly, before you hurt someone." he suggested. "Like you?" you asked. "Like myself, yes." you nodded your head playfully.

Zhongli made his way to pick up his bottle and glass. You looked behind you where you had guessed Xiao would be. Xiao teleported closer to you. "Are you sure you want this?" he asked with a worried look in his eyes. "I'll go back to training with you when I'm done knowing the basics." you replied.
