The Flame of All Things Chapter 42 - Swordsmanship and Knife Refinement
"That's good. Lu Youqi said nonchalantly.
Gu Xiaobei compared his figure with the feather weaving, and only then did he carefully fold the clothes until he was sure that he could wear them. He could have tried, but it was all dust.
"You know all about the arrangement of the sword electives, right? Except for your other elective in the evening, you have to be here the rest of the time. ”
"I know, promise not to be late and leave early. ”
"Okay, you can go back first, and remember to bring your clothes tomorrow. ”
"That'...... What about the knife, the stainless steel knife issued by the registration course. ”
"Knife?" Lu Youqi thought about it carefully, and then said, "You don't need to bring a knife, you won't need it anyway." ”
Gu Xiaobei wanted to ask why he couldn't use it, but Lu Youqi had already pushed him to the door of the mansion. When passing by the main room, the waiter was still kneeling there, Gu Xiaobei felt that this person was a freak, able to sit motionless for a long time.
In the midst of the unknown, Gu Xiaobei left Beishan's residence.
When he was far away, he looked back, and there was a big plaque on the house - House Fang.
"I haven't had a student in years...... I forgot how to teach people. Lu Youqi stretched.
The waiter, who was kneeling, suddenly opened his eyes
"His breath is unsteady, and his blood surges vary greatly with the ups and downs of his emotions, and there is no distinction between left and right dominant hands. The most important thing is that his hands are shaking all the time, and I don't know what he is afraid of. ”
"That's right...... It's really a rare 'waste wood'. Lu Youqi smiled bitterly.
The academy has found him a job, and he is obviously in a state of semi-retirement, but the course "Knife Technique and Knife Skill Refinement" is still hanging in the ranks of elective courses. In the first few years, the course was very popular, but in recent years, there have been no more students in the house.
Then he lived in seclusion in this room for several days, until today, when the young man with the choice of course came to the door, and he remembered that he was still an elective teacher.
"So...... What to teach? It can't be like it used to be. He sighed.
"Are you happy or sad?"
"It's a little bit of a thing, I'm still a little happy that someone is finally willing to patronize my house. But when you think of those things again, how can you not be sad?"
"No wonder you refused when the academy asked you to go out of the mountain before, that is an extremely noble existence, a monarch-level soul. ”
"I've ...... I don't care about those things, the monarch is still the dragon king, let him go. What does it have to do with me?"
"Take care of yourself first, you look like a homeless man who hasn't taken a shower for half a year. The waiter finally stood up, wearing a men's kimono and makeup, almost turning herself into a man. No wonder Gu Xiaobei thought that the waiter sitting here was a man just now.
In the dormitory of Gusuri.
Gu Xiaobei had hardly lived here for a few days, and all the trainees lived in the camp when they were in the Xishan training camp, and after the training camp ended, they went to carry out the "Nightcrawler" crusade mission. No wonder Senior Brother said that they didn't spend much time in the academy.
And he joined the combat class with the most "errands".
Since returning from the academy until now, the people he has met are Gu Qianqian and his senior brother Ji Yuanyuan, and almost all of his classmates have lost contact. He called Ji Jie's phone, but unfortunately it seemed that the line was always busy. The teammates he worked with on Nightcrawler were like they had vanished. I heard from my brother that everyone came to see him when he was unconscious, but he didn't find those people until he woke up and returned to the academy.
Within seven days after the task is completed and submitted, the executor can go to the system task center to view the record of the task, and everything will be sealed at the end of the seven days.
So Gu Xiaobei lost this opportunity, he wanted to see how he fought the big zombie dog in the end. This time, the D-class mission crusader displayed the three big characters "Gu Xiaobei". It's very rare to do this the first time you do it.
When lying in bed, Gu Xiaobei felt that life seemed to be back on track, and he could take the two elective courses of "Knife Technique and Knife Technique Refinement" and "Mechanical Life Theory" for a period of time.
Not everyone can fully adapt to such a big change, Gu Xiaobei suddenly became an artistic superpower witch clan from an ordinary decrepit boy, standing on the battlefield of slaughtering and fighting those mythical monsters. That's a lot of time.
All boys dream of going to the end of the world with a sword, but in the end, everyone chooses to reconcile with the world. No one can really spend the rest of their lives in the blood.
Because the temperature will cool, and one day all that will be left is the dark and cold endless void.
The next day, Gu Xiaobei brought the set of washed and dried feathers to the house.
It was still very early, and there was a birdsong in the treetops, and Lu Youqi unexpectedly stood at the door to greet him.
It was not quite what Gu Xiaobei guessed, he thought that this middle-aged uncle with a scruffy beard had such thick bags under his eyes, and he would definitely sleep until noon today before waking up. But Lu Youqi seemed to be a different person, his beard was cleaned very cleanly, his hair was combed again, and the loose feather weaving was actually tied very close.
Oh my God, did this teacher take the wrong medicine?
"Lu Lao...... Good morning, Lu Youqi. Gu Xiaobei said with a smile.
He still didn't say the word teacher, because he really couldn't figure out Lu Youqi's temper, and he would never mess up if he was obedient.
"It's so early. Lu Youqi didn't bite the grass root in his mouth.
"Hmm...... The first day of class. ”
"Go and change your clothes and come to the dojo. ”
Gu Xiaobei changed into the slightly cleaner Yuori, this was the first time he had worn this kind of clothes. With a strong Japanese style, it is very loose, and it matches surprisingly with the long Japanese hair he deliberately left.
If you pin a scabbard around your waist, he'll be the kind of manga samurai you're looking at.
When he came out of the house, Lu Youqi was already standing in the dojo. There was still a thick layer of maple leaves and dust on the ground. It seems that this teacher just cleaned himself up, and did not clean up the house with him.
Gu Xiaobei took a deep breath and secretly made up his mind that no matter how hard the sword training class was, he would persevere.
Nowadays, there is nothing more important than improving your strength. After the events of Nightcrawler, he finally realizes that he has forgotten the fact that he is weak under the appearance of a strong force in the hard world.
"It's very simple, just one thing. Lu Youqi raised a finger.
The middle-aged uncle had a peaceful smile on his face
"Speak. Gu Xiaobei waited quietly.
What kind of training will it be?
He remembered the martial arts movies he had seen in TV dramas before. There will be a difficult process before the protagonists can cultivate their divine skills. Like what...... Cultivating physique and the like.
My whole body was a little nervous with excitement.
"Clean up the dojo, you'll need it later. The cleaning props are in the side room, and the cleaned garbage can be piled up on the street at the door, and there will be a garbage truck from the academy to clean it up every half day. ”
Lu Youqi pointed to the wooden house on the side.
"What...... What?" Gu Xiaobei didn't react
"Clean up the dojo, it's the leaves and dust on the ground or something, oh yes, by the way, let's clean up the stake man too." Some may be moldy. If the detergent or something is not enough, I will go to the inner house to find my waiter and ask for it, her name is Yinxue. ”
"All...... Is it?"
"Well, two days should be enough, right?" he asked
"It should ...... That's enough. ”
"Okay, you can start, I'm going to rest, I've been sleeping very poorly these days, do you see the dark circles on my face?" Lu Youqi pointed to the bags under his eyes.
Gu Xiaobei swallowed his saliva and looked at the dojo the size of this square, which was full of fallen leaves and dust that had been piled up for an unknown number of years, and there was a scarecrow stake every few meters.
Oh, my God!
Is it true that the knife skills and knife skills intensive course are actually here to clean up? No wonder Lu Youqi asked him not to bring the steel sword over, he couldn't use it anyway.
Endure...... Endure it. The young man gritted his teeth, feeling that this was a tempering before cultivating divine skills.
Persistence is victory!
