Chapter 11: Talent

By the time Becker and Eugenie returned to the tavern from the dojo outside the village, it was already dark and it was time for dinner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Honoré was reluctant to hire even a temporary worker, and the family took turns to eat, and while Honoré himself was eating, he sent his wife to the bar to watch the guests, and he and Eugenie ran to the kitchen, had dinner with the cook, and reluctantly brought Becker with him.

Becker took advantage of the gap to look at Madame Honoré, maybe it was not because the family did not enter the door, she was as thin as Eugenie and Honoré, her complexion was pale, her hair was a little yellow, and she had a sickly look on her face, and she was submissive in the face of Honoré.

The cook was a middle-aged woman named Nanon, who was also thin, but compared to Eugenie and Madame Honoré, Nanon was dark-skinned and much healthier.

There were a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, but the dinner of several people was a pot of soup with white bread, and Honoré personally distributed food to Nanon, Eugenie and Becker with a cautious look of holding the power of life and death, one bowl of soup for each person, one white bread for the two adults, and half for Becker and Eugenie.

Becker was a little dissatisfied, but this was the case under the fence, and his situation at Sean's house in Blackreef Village was not much better, but fortunately, he was also hungry and full when he first worked in his previous life, so he was able to endure hardship.

Becker and Eugenie were now in the middle of growing their bodies, and the food was only a bowl of soup and half a loaf of bread, which was quickly eaten, and Becker now understood why she thought that her skin was deceived by frost and snow when she first saw Eugenie, that she was hungry, and that she was also hungry when she acted like a weak willow supporting the wind.

Becker was angry when he saw Honoré's old face now, and wanted to leave after cleaning up the dishes, but found that Eugenie had not left for some reason after dinner, and after cleaning up the dishes, he watched Honoré chew slowly, enjoying a big meal and eating his own dinner.

Becker was a little curious, so he did not leave immediately, but saw that when Honoré had finished eating, Eugenie came to Honoré's side slowly, and when the latter saw this, he reluctantly went upstairs, took out a candle and handed it to Eugenie: "Read less, what is the use of reading." ”

Eugenie got the candle, a satisfied smile appeared on her shy face, and her eyes seemed to light up a little, and she was happy to change her buddy Charles's class, while Honoré went to the bar to continue his work and let Madame Honoré have dinner.

Becker used his expertise again, and diligently stayed in the kitchen to help Nanon clean up the table, lead the other party to talk, and spy on some information.

The tavern didn't close until night, and Honoré arranged for Becker and his partner Charles to live with him in a cramped, cramped room converted from a storage room.

The man Charles looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old, skinny, with black hair messy like a bird's nest, and he looked quite delicate, but he kept pulling his face in the face of Becker.

He is a distant relative of Honoré who can't be beaten, and he defected to Honoré after an accident in his family.

After Honoré fired his last buddy, he used Charles as a cheap laborer, he was interested in Eugenie, and he dreamed of marrying Eugenie to inherit the tavern, Charles's careful thinking In addition to Eugenie, several adults in the tavern knew that Honoré used this to hang Charles and squeeze his labor.

Becker is still a little handsome now, and he went out with Eugenie before, and he will live in a tavern for a while in the future, which probably makes Charles feel threatened.

Becker didn't bother to pay attention to the little boy's "ambitions", there were no candles or lights in the small room, only the moonlight outside the window kept the room from falling into complete darkness, and Becker was hungry and tired lying on the bed, thinking about the people he had seen that day, and thinking about his future in this strange world—his future was like this room, almost dark except for the ethereal glimmer of moonlight that could give him some hope.

Becker sighed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The room was on the second floor, and the next morning, Honoré had the ingenuity to let Eugenie clean the second floor alone, and the little figure struggled to move the tables and chairs, inevitably making a bumping sound, waking Becker up.

Becker poked his head out and looked, Charles and Honoré both ran downstairs, he immediately understood Honoré's careful thoughts, and scolded secretly, Eugenie is a girl who is thin and small, and she is tired and sweaty after moving a few chairs, and she is afraid of being scolded by her father, so she doesn't dare to be lazy, pitiful, he can't bear it in his heart, so he goes up and takes a hand and helps Eugenie clean the second floor.

Becker was a little upset that he was being counted as free labor by the old bastard Honoré, and could only comfort himself that he would pay off his debts as if he were working for accommodation and food.

After a simple breakfast, Becker went to the dojo outside the village alone with his training clothes.

Walking outside the village, the patchwork of paddy fields and the open environment made Becker's depression slightly lessened, but he knew in his heart that it would definitely not be a way to live in the master of the Honoré tavern, but now that he was unfamiliar with life, Becker really couldn't think of a good way to get out of his current predicament.

When he came to the door of the dojo, Becker, who had been frowning and thinking, couldn't help but smile when he saw the scene at the door.

The red-haired Edmund was looking in the direction of Frostmoon Village with his neck craned, as if he was looking forward to his first day of study in the dojo more than Becker himself.

Edmund's eyes lit up when he saw Becker, and he was only a little disappointed when he glanced behind him and found that Eugenie did not follow, and immediately regained his enthusiasm, ran to Becker upside down, and said expectantly: "I said it yesterday, you will call me senior brother, call me senior brother!" ”

Becker smiled and wanted to divert the topic, "This is my first day of study, how do you seem to be expecting more than me." ”

"The teacher told me to familiarize you with the dojo!" Edmund waved his hand aggressively, and immediately said, "Call Senior Brother!" ”

"You look like you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? Have you had breakfast? ”

"I didn't have to wait long...... call senior brother!"

"Where's the teacher? Do I have to say hello to the teacher when I come to the dojo? ”

"The teacher is in the backyard, and he will go to the front hall to supervise the training of the students in a while, and you will be able to see him then...... call him brother!"

Edmund nagged like a long-tongued woman along the way, and Becker called out helplessly: "Senior brother." ”

…………

There are a lot of students in the dojo, and it is impossible for Koshiro to teach them one by one, so he can only let the senior brothers who have studied for a long time teach one-on-one or one-to-two in the training ground, and he patrols the training ground, one supervises this group of fun-loving young people, and the other prevents the disciples in charge of teaching from teaching the wrong movements and essentials, and then he leads the unified training every once in a while.

Edmund took Becker to find a quiet corner, although Edmund looked a little reckless and out of tune before, at this time he taught Becker a serious face, and the logic of his speech was relatively clear, first demonstrated the method of holding the knife one by one, body posture, footwork during battle, distance judgment and other techniques, and then talked about the essentials of breathing, and after Becker had a general concept in his mind, he patiently explained the decomposition to him in detail.

Becker's current physical fitness is really beyond his reach in his previous life, and he discovered a long time ago that although the strength of this body is not as good as that of adults, it is also above his peers, and now that he is learning swordsmanship, it can be seen that even his coordination is outstanding.

Edmund explained the movements demonstrated, and Becker could basically imitate them after watching them. After reading these basic movements, Becker thinks that he can do it in his previous life, and many people with flexible minds are probably similar, but it is not so simple to see and heart to turn into hands in the end, which is probably the talent of some professional athletes in previous lives.

Moreover, this body seemed to have learned swordsmanship before, and as Becker practiced, the memories that had been sleeping inside the body seemed to come alive little by little, allowing him to learn quite quickly.

Becker was a little excited at first to find his ability to learn, but then he calmed down, there are not many ways to trick this thing in swordsmanship, and his talent makes him learn faster at most, but if he wants to become stronger, he mainly relies on his own training day after day.

It's the same as athletes, the best athletes never rely on their own talent, but also on hard training day after day, or in other words, only hard training can make the best use of an athlete's talent.

Becker wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and exhaled slowly, he has the soul of an adult, more disciplined than his peers, in fact, this is his greatest talent.
