Chapter Fifty-Eight: Carlisle. Karen
Pale skinned, handsome-looking middle-aged vampire Carlisle. When Cullen heard about Bella's intentions, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
A woman, a woman in modern society, came to compete with him in fencing.
Carlisle. Cullen was very old, he was born in 1640, he did know fencing himself, and he had practiced it for a long time, and frankly, his swordsmanship was not a master at that time, but it was definitely not low.
And his wife and children were all transformed into vampires in the late 19th century and early 20th century, when guns were prevalent, armor, war horses, bows and crossbows were thrown into the garbage heap, who still went to practice swords!
It is only in modern society that such a thing as fencing has been excavated by people who have money and leisure again.
Carlisle didn't know if Bella was improvising, playing around, or if there was some other purpose, he looked at Alice very secretly. Cullen at a look.
The short-haired black beauty vampire began to encourage him: "Bella's swordsmanship is very powerful!" Anyway, I think it's very powerful, you guys compare! Don't hesitate, hurry, hurry! ”
"Yes, Uncle Carlisle, let's compare, I'm practicing alone, there are always some small problems." Bella's attitude is also quite sincere.
"yes, go up and try it."
"Let's open our eyes!"
The remaining vampire children are also coaxing, a human woman, in this day and age, come to them these antiques to compete in fencing, how new is this thing, if you don't join in the fun, you are sorry for yourself.
Carlisle. Karen really can't resist everyone's enthusiasm, in his own home, Bella is not afraid of outsiders, and he doesn't have to worry about his own safety.
His saber had long been thrown away, and it was also a stabbing sword made with modern techniques.
Carlisle. Cullen strides through the clearing, brandishing her stabbing sword, searching for her touch.
I haven't practiced this thing in at least 300 years!
I did learn it seriously at the beginning, and then I also experienced a lot of life-and-death fights, it is said that once this skill is mastered, I will never forget it for a lifetime, but that life refers to the life of ordinary people, not the life of a vampire, Carlisle. Cullen felt that he was very unfamiliar with the touch of a sword.
He slowly searched for the sensation of swinging his sword, and Bella didn't rush.
Until ten minutes later, Carlisle. Cullen smiled and said he was ready to go.
In terms of specifications, both of them use heavy swords, Bella's sword is 90 centimeters long and weighs 720 grams, and Carlisle's sword is longer and slightly heavier.
It's not an official competition, they don't wear protective gear, and they don't set any rules for 11 swords and 21 swords.
Carlisle. Cullen's wrist shook slightly, and the tip of his sword enveloped all of Bella's attack angles: "It's been a long time since I've played this thing, I hope I don't lose too ugly." ”
Bella was also quite modest: "Uncle wants to be merciful, I have just learned." ”
In the next second, she, a newly learned guy, began to attack ferociously.
The pirate's understanding of swordsmanship is definitely different from that of the nobles, fast, accurate, and ruthless, no etiquette, no need to pay attention to any demeanor, and kill the other party in the shortest possible time, this is the pirate's swordsmanship.
Carlisle. Cullen considers his age, and he doesn't think how good Bella's swordsmanship can be, a modern person, fencing is at most a play, to what extent? Therefore, it is on the defensive.
But as soon as a few moves passed, he felt a lot of pressure, and originally wanted to defend a few more moves, but at this time, in the face of the surging offensive, he had to use the advantage of his height and arm length to counterattack.
The movements of both of them are extremely fast, and the rhythm between advance and retreat, between attack and defense, and between retraction and release is extremely well mastered.
Bella's swordsmanship is a quick word, on the sea, between the sides of the ship, to knock down the enemy as quickly as possible, this is the essence of the pirate's swordsmanship.
Carlisle also slowly exerted his full strength, the aristocratic swordsmanship is about stability, they don't need to fight for their lives like civilians, more often they think about how to save their lives, and there are relatively many defensive tricks in swordsmanship.
Bella's moves are fast, but he is inexperienced, and has been deceived by the opponent with some tricks several times, while Carlisle is weak in attack, constantly using his superior experience to maneuver.
The two of them struck from the ground to the tree, and they stood on the branches as thick as children's arms and swung their swords, the blades intersecting in a continuous crunch, as if they were playing a beautiful and moving music.
Bella only felt a little regretful, if she played a Pirates of the Caribbean BGM at this time, maybe her swordsmanship could be two points faster, and Carlisle slowly found her state as the battle lengthened, and the elegant middle-aged vampire played extremely beautifully both offensively and defensively.
The vampires watching not far away had to be said to be a little surprised, they lived in an era where fencing was not seen at all, and this kind of martial art was far away from them.
Carlisle is a person who came from that era, swordsmanship is good, not new, where did Bella's swordsmanship come from? Was it taught by a school teacher? Does the gym teacher at Fox High School have this ability?
The battle between Bella and Carlisle ended quickly, there was no such thing as a one-day and one-night fight, and the fencing moves were just a few times back and forth, and the competition was more about learning from each other's strengths, absorbing each other's styles, and perfecting their own swordsmanship.
"Your attack moves are too sharp, and that small lunge and dash just now is actually better to change to a straight stab."
Purely talking about swordsmanship, Carlisle is more clever, and after the battle, he also gave a few words of advice at the right time.
Bella also found a problem in her swordsmanship, there are too many killing moves, if it's a life-and-death battle, then it's no problem, it's all over if you kill the enemy, why do you care so much? But if you are ready to make a splash in the university club, you must change some moves to make the swordsmanship more beautiful and elegant, and don't stab your eyes, your heart, or the three ways at every turn.
There is no comparison with the original time and space, but after coming and going, Bella is still familiar with this family of Buddhist vampires, and from time to time she comes to learn fencing with Carlisle.
Bella designed two sets of swordsmanship for herself, one is a kind of swordsmanship with a pistol, which looks particularly gorgeous, and the one with beautiful moves is another kind of swordsmanship.
Carlisle's children also studied for two days, but they didn't find it meaningful.
Hunk Emmet. Cullen thinks that fencing is not as practical as boxing, this thing is inconvenient to carry, there are many rules, in modern society, what is the use except to pretend to be a force?
What do you think? I'm mainly trying to pretend to be forced! Bella has a clear purpose, learned a lot of fancy tricks, and she has already imagined the scene of her great performance in the Stanford fencing club and the crazy praise of a large number of fans!
