39. Artoria's training
"The range of movement is so great that the speed of the sword is too slow, and the stiffness after the move is too long...... In short, your foundation is not solid, and I think you are only new to swordsmanship. ”
Artoria nodded and didn't retort.
"Kill ......" originally wanted to say kill, but considering that the two little guys in front of him were just children, Qi Wuce also tried to make his wording more harmonious.
"Defeating an enemy with a sword is a very, very simple matter, and compared to the sharpness of the sword, the human body is as fragile as a dry leaf."
"The heart, lungs, throat, liver, brain, there are too many fatal weaknesses in the human body."
After all, it was a child, although he was quite mature on weekdays, but when Qi Wuce pointed to himself as if he was inanimate and described the fatal places on the human body, it was difficult for Artoria and Kai's faces to remain stable.
They all knew how fragile people were, and they knew what they practiced martial arts for, things that had been vaguely described on the first day that Ektor had taught them.
It's just because Qi Wuce's truthful description makes life sound too pale, which is unacceptable for a while.
"Whether you want to defeat the enemy or do it more ruthlessly, the mastery of the sword and the mastery of yourself must be practiced in place."
Qi Wuce may have realized how much pressure his words of life to ensure harmony as much as possible brought to the two of them, and the topic of life and death seemed a little early for a child of this age.
But he just turned a blind eye to this, there is no doubt that Ector wants to train Artoria and Kai to become knights, if you want to become a knight in this unpeaceful era, then you can't escape the bloody hands no matter what, and it's for their good to know some things early.
Anyway, even if he didn't teach, Ektor would say these things sooner or later.
"Well, it's too early for you to fight, so we might as well continue to focus on training."
In a relaxed tone, the overly heavy atmosphere was eased, and Qi Wuce redirected Artoria and Kai's train of thought back on track.
"Artoria!"
"Yes." Artoria, who had been listening carefully, responded energetically to Qi Wuce.
"Very good, your situation is different from Kai, Kai's foundation is already very solid, and the key to his problem is that it is not very troublesome in actual combat, as long as he is beaten more." Yu Guang glanced at Kai on the side, and the other party trembled very familiarly.
"As for you, my requirements for you now are more about polishing the basics of swinging the sword, and how to accurately control your own strength, and then about actual combat."
One is willing to teach, two are willing to learn, and the atmosphere between the three is very harmonious.
Looking at Artoria, Qi Wuce took out a few eggs from his pocket, adhering to the principle of teaching Artoria according to his aptitude, Qi Wuce chose a training method that was most suitable for Artoria.
"I said, Artoria, it's a shame to waste food, isn't it?"
Not! There is a sense of foreboding! Looking at the egg in Qi Wuce's hand, Artoria subconsciously became vigilant.
Finding a clean stone, Qi Wuce placed the egg in the groove in the stone, and then placed a dry leaf on top of the egg.
"Well, that's it." Looking at the cautious Artoria with a kind face, the bad water in Qi Wuce's heart bubbled out.
"This one is an egg strengthened by magic, and the eggshell is several times more resistant than ordinary eggs, and Artoria, all you have to do is use the sword in your hand to slash at the egg, and keep the eggshell intact while smashing the leaves."
"I haven't had time to make better training tools yet, so I'm going to have to use a simpler method for the time being." Of course, Qi Wuce wouldn't tell Artoria that he was too lazy to make props.
Strengthened an egg again, Qi Wuce threw it to Artoria, and after seeing the other party hurriedly catch it, Qi Wuce continued with a smile: "This egg is used to test the water for you, and use your strength to feel the upper limit of what the egg can bear." ”
Kai on the side looked at Qi Wuce in a daze, as if he was surprised by the other party's commotion.
Remembering the painful times when he had been training day after day under his father's hands, he couldn't help but mourn for Artoria.
"How's it going?"
Noticing that Artoria had cracked the eggshell, Qi Wuru took the egg back in his hand.
"If you have any questions, just ask me, as your guide, of course I will know everything."
"No, no, I'll try to learn to control my strength as soon as possible!" Artoria looked at the egg on the stone in a complicated way, as if she was about to face some kind of great enemy.
"Okay, I'll take Kai to the side to train for actual combat first, if the egg is broken, just change it, and the ones next to the stone are all processed."
After explaining to Artoria, Qi Wuce gestured to Kai to let the other party follow his pace.
"Is this kind of training really okay? It always feels unreliable. Trotting to Qi Wuce's side, Kai was a little worried.
"Just to give Artoria a rough idea of her strength, today it's a wooden sword, and when she meets my requirements, I'll give him a heavier stone sword, then an iron sword, and when the iron sword is familiar, I'll change it to a tree trunk. With all the processes down, Artoria should have a general idea of how to control her strength. ”
"Is that so? Sounds reasonable. After listening to this explanation, Kai understood Qi Wuce's intentions.
"Considering Artoria's personality and dedication to food, if nothing else, it probably won't take long to finish the first phase of training."
"You're sinister enough, but I like it." Kai smiled cheaply, and the smile on his face became even brighter when he remembered the scene when he was sparring (violently) by Artoria before.
"Insidious? No, no, no, I'm just simply grasping the personality characteristics of students and teaching them according to their aptitude. ”
Kai smiled very happily, and Qi Wuce also smiled happily, especially when he thought that Kai was going to cry bitterly under his men next, Qi Wuce's smile couldn't help but become infiltrating.
