Chapter 13: Otto's Conversion

Xiu dragged his tired body back to the dormitory.

Otto was not in the dormitory, and he did not know where he had gone. Xiu originally wanted to relieve the tension with Otto, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and it seemed to be a little counterproductive.

Ah, what a failure.

Xiu took a basin of water and simply wiped the sweat stains on his body, and changed his clothes.

The clothes he had changed were piled up in the corners, and the smell of sweat was constantly attacking his nose. He suddenly realized that there was no one to do his laundry here, and he had to take care of it himself. He picked up his clothes again and ran out to wash them himself.

In the training camp, no one is allowed to bring a servant, and everything has to be sorted out by themselves.

Xiu doesn't know how to do laundry, but a few simple rubs are fine. By the time he tossed and finished his housekeeping, it was almost noon. And it was only then that he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have received his military supplies. He hurriedly grabbed the sign and ran to the quartermaster's office.

There weren't many people lining up here, and soon it was Xiu's turn.

The quartermaster was a middle-aged Valkyrie, and she didn't raise her head. Still keeping his head down and taking notes

"Iron Plate."

Xiu handed over his iron card. Valkyrie recorded the grade.

"Name."

"Hugh Kaslana."

"Kaslana?" The Valkyrie finally looked up and glanced at Xiu.

"Go to the left, look at the family emblem, there are special materials for the Kaslana family, go get it." The quartermaster returned the iron plate to repair.

"Thank you." Xiu took the iron plaque and walked to the room engraved with the Kaslana family emblem.

When the door was opened, there was a knight of the Kaslana family. But Xiu didn't have much impression of him.

When the knight saw Xiu coming in, he stood up and smiled at him, "You're Xiu, right?"

Xiu nodded a little stiffly.

"Don't be nervous, Chief Francis is my uncle, and I'm your cousin. My name is Charlie Caslana. ”

"But...... I've never seen you before......" Xiu couldn't believe it.

"Haha, of course you haven't seen me. Because I've never been back to Caslana's castle. Charlie didn't care, "I've heard Karen talk about life at Caslana's Castle. It must be lonely, right? Actually, there are a lot of people in our people, but most of us don't go to the peaceful castle of Caslana. For us, the battle line of Honkai is home. Kaslana Castle only guarantees the continuation of the Kaslana family's bloodline. Charlie smiled lightly. Ah, the topic is a little off-topic. Here, here's the gear for you. "Charlie took a large set of things.

Xiu saw a set of iron light armor that only protected the joints, three sets of knight uniforms of the Order with white on a black background, and other miscellaneous daily necessities.

There was one thing that made him more concerned. Those were two cross swords.

Charlie...... Brother. Why are there swords? "Xiu is strange.

"You shouldn't be able to use the gun well." Charlie made sure that everything was missing, and then smiled softly, "Do you know what Kaslana used when she didn't have a gun?" ”

Xiu shook his head.

"It's with a sword." Charlie pointed out the Kaslana family's crest on his clothes to Xiu, "The sword is the first weapon used by the Kaslana family. Otherwise, why do you say that our coat of arms is a sword and not a spear? Charlie's Head Patting Repair's Gun Fighting is an improvement on the swordplay, with a lot of new tactics added to the super version. You can also understand that swordsmanship is actually the basis of gun fighting. ”

"Then why don't the knights use swords?"

"Because for Honkai, it is safer and more lethal to use a gun than a sword." Charlie explains, "The fighting skills of the body are used to better protect oneself, and the gun in the hand is the means of killing." With guns in both hands, how can there be extra hands to hold swords? And the weight of a sword can be exchanged for a lot of ammunition. Do you think anyone still uses a sword?" Charlie said slowly, "Then we stopped using swords and concentrated on practicing marksmanship. But the foundation of swordsmanship is still there, and if there are no bullets, we can still go to the battlefield with a sword. This is the basic training you will be given before you formally learn the art of gun fighting. You have to be able to use this weapon well, and you have the physical condition to learn to use a gun. Charlie bared his teeth and gave Xiu an encouraging smile.

Xiu looked at Charlie's hearty smile, and his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

At least I still have a goal to strive for. As long as you can learn to use a sword, then you can learn the art of gun fighting. I will definitely work very hard to learn the art of gun fighting, so that my father will completely change his opinion of himself!

"You're the last Kaslana to come and pick up your gear. After you get your equipment, I'm going back to the front. Come on, little cousin. Charlie smiled encouragingly, "I look forward to seeing you on the Honkai front." Charlie patted Xiu on the head and prepared to leave.

"Brother!" Xiu suddenly stopped him, "Can you tell me what the front line of the Honkai War is like?" ”

"Now is not the time to tell you. But there's one thing you have to keep in mind. Charlie restrained his smile and said "It's cruel." More brutal than anything you can imagine. This is a war of genocide and genocide, where there is no room for compromise and only the complete disappearance of one side. That's all you can know right now. Charlie opened the door and didn't look back, "Come on for the growth." We don't have an advantage in the battle against Honkai, and we're even losing one after another. We need more hope like Kalian......"

Xiu stared blankly in the direction Charlie left. He walked very simply, without even giving Xiu a chance to ask more questions.

Xiu silently took his equipment and left the quartermaster's office.

Xiu staggered all the way to the dormitory, but there were too many things, and he was a little unstable, and he adjusted many times on the way before returning to the dormitory with difficulty.

When he pushed the door open, Otto was sitting on the bed with a thick book in his hand flipping through it. When Xiu broke in, Alto subconsciously wanted to put the book away, but he seemed to think of something and didn't hide it anymore.

Xiu "bang" threw everything on the bed at once, panting heavily.

"Otto, you're really nice in the dormitory, by the way, have you received your supplies?"

Otto glanced at Xiu obliquely, as if he was struggling with something. In the end, he sighed, "I got it." ”

"Can you show me your weapon, then?"

"Weapons?" Otto looked away from the book for a moment, glanced at Xiu, and then moved back to the book. "Aren't all weapons standard with handcuffs? What else did you get? ”

"Sword!" Xiu flipped out the cross sword and put it in front of Alto, "They want me to take this to exercise, saying that as long as I learn the sword, I can use the gun fighting technique!" ”

"You can't use gunfighting?" Otto was interested and determined to laugh at the "Can't the people of the Caslana family use gunfighting?" What a joke! ”

Xiu is like he didn't understand, "Ah, yes." Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. ”

His own ridicule did not make any waves, which made Otto a little dissatisfied.

"It's hard to say that he came out to comfort you, you may not have learned gun fighting in your life."

"How is that possible?" Xiu shook his head. Otto saw that there seemed to be some movement, and was about to mend the knife, Xiu said again, "Where is anyone who will comfort me, they usually ignore me." Unlikely to comfort me. ”

Why do you suddenly feel a little pitiful for him? Otto thought.

He looked at Xiu's face carefully, and suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Xiu, how old are you?"

"Seven-year-old, what's wrong?" Xiu was a little confused.

Otto suddenly felt bored.

He looked at this Xiu, who was several years younger than himself, and suddenly he was so ridiculous.

He was actually fighting with a seven-year-old man, and it was he who was talking to this seven-year-old boy about his future dreams last night. The little kid doesn't understand that he is still angry, and he is still angry.

What's even more annoying is that this little kid's physical strength is actually better than him.

Otto suddenly felt as if something was wrong with him.

Otto closed the book and tucked it into the quilt.

"Show me your supplies."

I didn't get permission to repair it, so I went up and looked at it directly.

Xiu was stunned and watched Otto take out his supplies one by one, read them, and then stacked them neatly on the side.

"It's no different from my supplies, except that the weapon has become a sword." Otto raised the knight's sword with both hands and made a formal gesture.

The knight's sword, also known as the cross sword, is named because the sword perfectly intersects the sword body and the sword grid into a cross. Unlike ordinary cross swords, this sword has a wider body and can be used for slashing in addition to stabbing.

"Otto, may I ask you a question?" Xiu suddenly leaned over and whispered.

Alto frowned and pushed Xiu Minato's face away, "Say, but don't get so close to me." ”

Xiu didn't mind Otto's coldness: "Do you know how to use a gun?" ”

"Of course." Otto suddenly realized something: "Don't you even know how to shoot?" ”

"Yes, yes, but I'll be pushed to the ground by a gun." Xiu wrinkled his face a little depressedly.

Wouldn't that be the same as that? Otto was furious, but the thought that it was just a kid turned into a caring fool's eyes.

"Wait until you're a little older. Maybe in a year, you'll be able to use a gun. ”

"I hope so," Xiu sat down on the bed, packing things into the box little by little. Will we have dinner together? ”

Otto subconsciously wanted to refuse, but finally agreed.

"Training starts tomorrow, Otto, are you looking forward to it?"

"What is there to look forward to, I won't participate anyway."
