Chapter 100: Special Training

When Artoria sent a message to Shinji through the contract, Shinji was already covered in bruises - he had been beaten by Charon.

Yes, the special training has begun, from 6 o'clock this morning.

The core of special training is adaptation, which is mainly divided into two aspects, speed and skill.

Since it is the body of the servant, the attributes have been fixed, there is no room for improvement, and all that can be trained is experience, the experience of fighting Achilles.

The first is speed. This was Achilles' strong point, and he was hailed as "the fastest of all the heroes of all ages", and this legend was sublimated into a treasure called the "Comet Run".

Dromeus Cometes: Grade A+

Type: Treasure to people (self).

Passing through a vast battlefield in one go, the speed will not be slowed down even if there are obstacles on the field. While he had to expose the Achilles tendons, which were his weakness, few Heroic Spirits could fully capture his speed. It is known as the pinnacle of all mankind in history.

There is a famous saying in the Chinese martial arts world: "The martial arts in the world are invincible, only fast and unbreakable." "It can be seen how terrible the extreme speed is, and Achilles has the ultimate speed.

It is precisely because he knows this that Shinji will practice hard in prediction, prepare the Divine Thunder Enchantment, and indeed create a lot of trouble for Achilles in the first battle. But after all, these are just tricks, and you can't kill the opponent once, and the effect of the second time will be greatly reduced. Now that Achilles is issuing a duel declaration in the name of the gods of Olympus, Shinji doesn't want to be killed, so he has to adapt to this speed - by facing the arrows of Caron.

As the prototype of Sagittarius, the head of the Golden Saint Seiya (huh, it seems to have something very strange mixed in), one of the top archers in the history of mankind. Charon's marksmanship has long been at its peak. Whether it is the rate of fire, the strength of the shot, or the angle of fire, it is impeccable. Only in this way can you shoot high-speed arrows that are comparable to the "Comet Running Method", and you don't have to worry about serious injury or even killing Shinji by a single operation error.

However, because of the characteristics of the arrows themselves, there is still a difference between the contact surface between the "comet running method" simulated by the arrows and the genuine version. After all, arrows are much smaller than humans, and if it weren't for this, Charon's arrows would not have been able to reach the running speed of Achilles. In fact, if you really want to simulate, you can still do it, but it requires a huge amount of magic power, which causes a burden on Caron's body, and affects the endurance, that is, the special training time, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, in order to improve the training effect, Kajon asked Shenji to make it more difficult. You don't need to use your Phantasm, just your body to dodge or block arrows - it's not allowed to use skills like magic to smash arrows directly, unless you have the ability to smash Achilles directly.

"If you can't do it, don't think about how to take shortcuts, it will only be detrimental to your strength. Before he knew it, Charon was preaching again. This is a teacher's professional instinct, not to mention that Shinji is called "Karon Teacher" in training, and the name is omitted to be called Teacher directly. Well, the title of master craftsman is reserved for Skaha, and there is nothing wrong with it.

As a result, before seven o'clock, Shinji had already turned into a hedgehog, with more than 20 arrows inserted in his body, and countless arrow wounds were scraped out.

Fortunately, Charon has specially controlled the strength, and the injury is only exaggerated, but in fact it is not serious. After eating breakfast and cooperating with the treatment of the goddess power mark and the life rune, Shinji was alive again and devoted himself to the second training - skill.

Through two distant observations, Charon has an accurate judgment of Shinji's strength.

The skills can't be said to be bad, but they are definitely not good, especially compared to the heroes who have made various achievements in history. In addition to the wide variety of noble Phantasms, the greatest reliance on these heroes is his nimble mind and excellent improvisation - he can always see the strengths and weaknesses of his enemies, and then avoid the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy.

It is precisely because of this advantage that Charon will agree to help with special training. As long as the Holy Grail War starts, it will not last too long, generally not more than half a month. If it's the kind of muscular stupid person who doesn't have a good brain and fights purely with his body, even if he spends 24 hours a day on special training, it won't make much sense. Only a "generalist" like Shinji, who knows how to use his brain and seems to know a little bit of all kinds of skills, can find a way to deal with Achilles. The premise is to have enough experience fighting with Achilles.

Charon was Achilles' teacher, and all of Achilles' skills were taught by Charon, and no one in this world knew Achilles better than Charon. Although Achilles has developed his own after he became a teacher, it is still no problem to imitate a ninety percent version of Achilles with Caron's ability.

So in this second round, Charon threw away his bow and replaced it with a pre-prepared sword, shield, and spear—the three weapons that Achilles was best at—and Shinji fought in close combat.

At this moment, Shinji finally deeply realized the familiar saying - "An archer who can't fight in close combat is not a good archer".

In the hands of the charon, the shield can be used not only for defense, but also for attack. No matter what weapon Shinji used, he could block it with a shield, and he shook back a part of his strength, shaking Shinji's wrist sore, and even losing his balance.

The same goes for swordsmanship and spearmanship. Although it is not as delicate as Karna's technique, every move and style is concise and crisp, full of lethality. If it weren't for the fact that the weapon used for practice did not strike, Shinji would have died dozens of times under the hands of Charon.

You know, this is an imitation of Achilles, not Charon's own fighting style. Shinji seriously doubted that in terms of technique alone, Charon could compete with Siegfei on swords, and on Garna, with a decathlon without any shortcomings.

"The master is like that, and so is Charon. Sure enough, Teacher is the strongest job agent in the legend, should I change jobs too?"

Shinji, who was miserable with blood, actually had the heart to complain, and then he was punched out by Charon - at this time, Charon no longer used weapons, and directly beat people with his bare hands, and Shinji was still beaten very badly, which reminded him of his childhood training. Although the styles of the two teachers are very different, the result is the same.

"Focus on the battle!"

After thinking about it, the two of them had been fighting for more than two hours, and Shinji had been beaten most of the time, and Charon proposed: "If you are tired, just rest for a while, you should almost reach the limit." ”

"The limit? It's too early to get to the limit. Shinji wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth without care, "As long as I'm still standing, I'm not at the limit." Go ahead, train at this intensity, and I'll be able to make it until noon. ”

"You-"

Kharon's eyes carefully swept over every part of Shinji's body, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

"No, your body is obviously reaching its limit, why? Could it be that you have received this kind of training since you were a child?"

"Yes, yes, it's worthy of being a teacher, and I have a good vision. Well, the educational philosophy of the person who taught me since I was a child is that 'people can only become stronger if they continue to surpass their limits.' 'Oh, at the beginning, I really suffered a lot, my tears dried up, and it was really miserable to think about. ”

Hearing Shinji's explanation, Keron's brows not only did not relax, but became tighter and tighter.

"It's too much, and while I don't deny that extreme training can make you stronger, it's very likely that too much training can cause irreparable damage – and I don't agree with that. ”

Ah, Xi, question the educational philosophy of the master craftsman, if you two meet, you will definitely fight. Honestly, I don't think I'm sorry for you, Mr. Charon. Regardless of whether you take back your immortality or not, you are the highest level of divinity, and you have been defeated to death by the "god-killing" of the master craftsman. In order not to make you suffer, it is better for me to expose this matter as soon as possible.

"Do you agree with you to see her, or you both have taught me, how about I come to evaluate it then?"

"It's fine. Whether the teacher teaches well or not is still to be judged by the disciples. ”

Charon nodded solemnly and took on the challenge that belonged only to the teacher. For him, this is more meaningful than simply winning a battle.
