After three months of intensive Chinese training, the girls completed what is known as "compulsory education". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The cultural class of the trainees is no longer compulsory, and each person can choose a major to practice according to his or her interests, and the specific time of the class is also decided by the trainee and the teacher together. This provision did not start with. After observing generations of warriors, the organization discovered that these poor people needed a specialty hobby to soothe their souls and dispatch boring times. It turns out that greatswords with hobbies can last longer.

It didn't seem like a difficult thing for the Starf Organization to find a teacher for each of the Greatsword trainees. You know, there are only a few dozen trainees left. While collecting the wealth of the entire continent, the organization, like all military organizations, could not help but make the mistake of emphasizing military force over civility, and on agriculture over injury. For them, the artist is inherently worthless. These old artists can't even go to the fields to farm, and keeping a trainee in class is considered waste.

The profession studied by the trainees was determined by their own hobbies, and Tifa did not hesitate to choose carving.

"The protagonist can increase his martial arts by learning to carve," Tifa confidently explained to Sulfur and Doris, "You see that carving things can increase the stability of your hands, and you can also practice wrist strength by the way." All in all, it's too good to be true. The genre I pursue is the legendary flat knife stream! I can carve through this ugly world with just one flat knife!"

Sadly, Tifa's carving teacher told Tifa that there was never a flat knife flow.

"Stone carving is a complicated thing. To make the process easier for people to complete, a lot of tools have been designed. For example, round knives, flat knives, oblique knives, triangular knives, and so on. These tools are used in combination to complete a complete stone carving. ”

"Wait! Doesn't it mean that the earth magician can fully feel the stone itself, and can carve it with just a flat knife!

"So what is an earthly magician!" said Sulfona, who couldn't stand it from the sidelines.

As a result, Tifa's interest in carving dropped considerably, and he spent his days chanting "I'll never eat tomatoes again......". For the study of carving, there are also three days of fishing, and two days of drying nets. Instead, Tilfa, a follower, learned to carve Doris very seriously, spending a lot of time working with stones every day.

"I always feel like it's very fulfilling. ”

Doris rarely showed a happy smile, which made her naturally beautiful even more delicate and lovely. Tifa on the side silently wiped his nosebleed.

Sulfona didn't choose carving, she originally wanted to choose cooking. It is a pity that even the organization has not recruited talents in this area, but it is better to say that the current level of cultural development in the mainland is not enough to sublimate "cooking" into an art. In fact, from the very first moment she spoke, she was made a student by a vocal teacher.

Sulfona's vocal teacher is a gray-haired old man in a dark purple robe, who introduces himself as Wohua.

There is a pure longing in your voice. Wo Hua grabbed Sulfona's hand and didn't let her go, "I've seen three of your talents in my life. You are the third. ”

"Who's the first?" asked Sulfona, a little curious.

"She's your senior sister, and now she's a well-known singer across the continent. Old Man Wohua had a wistful look on his face, "Her name is Agnes. ”

"I haven't heard of it. Sulfona shook her head, "Looks like she's not as famous as you say. ”

"That's because Stuff is so remote, kid. If you have time to go to the Holy City, you may be able to meet Agnes. However, she no longer recognizes me as a teacher, and our philosophy is a little inconsistent. So I chose self-imposed exile and came to this desolate place. ”

"Even if you disagree, you shouldn't treat the teacher like this. "Sulfona has a very bad impression of her senior sister who she has never met.

"It's not her fault, I did it voluntarily. Old Man Wohua smiled, "What will happen to you if you disagree with your elders? You will also feel very distressed, you don't know how to deal with your elders." So in order to avoid this distress of hers, I chose to stay away and give her space to fly. ”

"Then what kind of irreconcilable disagreement there is between you? Looks like you're considerate of her!"

"It's a topic I want to take to the grave. Old Man Wo Hua deftly brought the topic over, "The second gifted child is a boy, and not being able to take him as an apprentice is the most regrettable thing in my life. I was very happy to meet him and gave him some singing skills. Unfortunately, we were separated in the middle of the drought, and he didn't make it to my student. Later, I searched for his whereabouts in many ways, but I still couldn't find him. If nothing else, he would have died in the drought. ”

"That's right......" Sulfona searched for her vague memories as she found herself to be one of the victims of the drought, "I always thought that demons were the worst enemies of mankind, and it seems that the drought is terrible too." ”

"You're still young and you've seen too little. Wohua sighed, "There are many things that are more terrible than demons, and there are many things that are more terrible than drought. In my opinion, demons may still be a race that protects humans. The existence of demons makes human beings not too much, and it makes human beings dare not gather together in large numbers, so that a lot of dirty things are reduced. ”

"Why do demons keep humans from coming together?"

"I thought you'd refute my idea that demons are beneficial. It seems that you are also a funny child. Wohua glanced at Sulfur in surprise, "When people live in hundreds of people, everyone knows each other. In this way, in order to eat people, demons will disguise themselves as adults. That's the norm right now. So I ask you, what if a few thousand people live together, and there is a lot of population movement, and everyone doesn't know each other?"

"So...... Demons can just pretend to be a person and go directly to eat people?"

"You're right. What's even more terrifying is that the demon will never disguise itself again and eat people directly. Because the appearance of a disguised adult will also be guarded, it is better to keep the appearance of a monster directly. ”

"Wouldn't that make it easier to distinguish demons?" asked Sulfona, confused.

"Kid, it seems that you live in an organization and don't quite understand the normalcy of the world. "The number of demons is actually relatively small compared to humans. Half of the people have never seen a demon, and a quarter of them will never see a demon in their lifetime. Because the demon only takes the form of a monster when it eats people, and at this time everyone who has seen him is basically dead. Knowledge of demons is limited to word of mouth. When demons appear in front of people's eyes, people's faith will collapse. People will recognize themselves as food, prey, and inferiority. From then on, the whole of humanity will languish. ”

"It's also possible that the humans ended up killing all the demons. Sulfur didn't quite agree with Wohua's view.

"Definitely. But I still think it's better to have demons. "When humanity has no enemies, humans become enemies of humanity." ”

"Perhaps things like 'unknown' and 'ocean' will become the new enemies of humanity. ”

"Your opinion is similar to Agnes'. Wohua looked at Sulfura and sighed.

"Are you angry?" said Sulfona, a little flustered, she didn't want to be another Agnir.

"No, how could it be. Wo Hua smiled a slightly bitter smile, "I'm just your vocal teacher now." ”

And just like that, Sulfona's vocal lessons began. Wohua's students are the only ones with Sulfona, so they are taught one-on-one. However, Wohua seems to know another old woman who teaches dance. As a result, Sulfona would sometimes take lessons with the old woman's only dance student. It was a young girl named Eudora. Blue hair, a little buckteeth, but very delicate. Eudora often kept a cold face and didn't speak, but after some contact, Sulfona realized that the other party was more accustomed to expressing emotions with her body. Eudora has a precise grasp of the distance between people. The closer people are to Eudora, the closer they will be to Eudora. If a stranger wants to shorten the physical distance between herself and Eudora, Eudora will avoid it without a trace.

By the way, Sulfona and Eudora are now a little farther away than their friends.

Sulfona, Eudora, Doris, and another girl who likes to draw are all the trainees who chose the "Literary Electives" this year. Of course, Tifa may be half of it. On the whole, such a number seems to be a lot, and several classes of Great Sword trainees have completely abandoned the "literary and artistic elective courses". Jaslin and Duda and the like are typical of this kind of person, who feel that this kind of sissy thing is not what a warrior should pursue. As a result, most trainees devote all their remaining time to another hobby that will last a lifetime. This hobby is also the main reason why trainees no longer take "compulsory art classes".

That's swordsmanship training.
