Chapter 17: Blocking the Counterattack

"I'll teach you the most basic offense first, look at it!" Griffitz ignored the apprentice's protests, re-emphasizing himself before standing in front of the side to train the wooden figures. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info He spread his legs a short distance, and suddenly the sword in his hand swung a huge amplitude and slashed towards the wooden man. But what seemed like a powerful blow only left a faint mark on the wood.

"Do you see clearly?" Putting away his posture, the old man turned around and asked.

This action is not unfamiliar to Yu Yi, after entering the training ground, almost every few steps around, you can see a mentor or apprentice making such a move. But I don't know if it's because old Griffitz is his mentor, but when he watches him do it, it seems that every movement is slowed down, from the kicking leg to the twisted waist, and each movement seems to be followed by a light blue projection like a replay, so that he can see the whole process more carefully.

But in fact, Griffitz's whole movement was the same as everyone else's, just in a matter of seconds.

'Comprehend Success, Acquire Skill: Half-Spin Slash'

After seeing the prompt, Yu Yi couldn't help but be surprised, "This is considered to have been learned?" That's not that hard! Then it doesn't matter if you demonstrate it once. ’

"Come here, you repeat it and let me see." The old man commanded.

Yu Yi also walked over fearlessly, tightened the wooden sword in his hand, imitated Griffitz's movements just now, his calves burst out with power, and he kicked his legs but did not leave the place, and then twisted his waist vigorously and swung the wooden sword at a large angle and slashed it on the training wooden man.

"Your fighting talent is very high, you can learn this trick," the old man nodded at him, "but the enemy in actual combat is not a stake, you must practice a lot to use this move flexibly." ”

After easily learning the first move, Yu Yi was also light-hearted, and even a little proud, and responded heartily: "Understood, uncle." ”

"Now it's time for some techniques with the shield," Griffitz tapped the shield in his apprentice's left hand with his wooden sword, "Come, show me your usual battle pose." ”

Hearing the master's command, Yu Yi didn't hesitate to put on the posture he had when he fought against the demonic beasts before, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. However, Griffitz said in a slightly sullen tone: "I don't even know how to raise a shield!" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and patted Yu Yi's waist with a wooden sword, "Don't stand up so straight like a coffin board!" Then he knocked on the shield in his hand: "Only a fool would take a shield like you, keep it straight, don't tilt, lift it a little higher...... Idiot! Don't cover your eyes! ”……

After being mercilessly scolded by the elderly gray-haired old man in front of him, Yu Yi finally saw a hint that made him happy: 'Comprehend success and master skills: raise a shield'

After he repeatedly and quickly put on the correct shield posture a few times, old Griffitz finally stopped scolding, nodded and gasped, and was tired of scolding.

The old man eased his breath before he spoke: "You do learn quickly, but this next move will not be so simple anymore, you have to be more careful, I will only do it once." He raised the shield in his hand and continued, "Using a shield in battle does not mean that it is completely passive defense, and in the process of defense, you can find an interval to launch a counterattack!" That's what I'm going to teach you next, block counterattacks. ”

As Griffitz beckoned, a sparring partner on the sidelines walked over. "Yo! Old Griffitz, a new apprentice? What about the chick before? Did you learn nothing and go home crying? ”

The rude attitude of this sturdy sparring partner made Yu Yi on the side frown and stepped forward: "Old Zhuang! Right! That is to say, you, you talk to my mentor with respect! ”

The sparring partner patted him on the shoulder with complete disdain, and said with a smile: "Young man, I hope your attitude of respecting teachers can be maintained until the end." ”

Yu Yi, who was quite unhappy, wanted to retort again, but was pulled by his mentor on the shoulder: "You stand on the side and observe my movements for a while." So he could only suppress the anger and retreat. Perhaps it is the old man's attitude that makes a mere sparring partner become so presumptuous.

"Tell me, old Griffiths, what are you going to practice today?" The sparring man asked, slamming the hilt of the sword in his hand.

"You just attack." Although the old man didn't bother with the sparring partner just now, he could also hear his dislike for the other party in his words.

And the man immediately guessed the answer he wanted: "Practice parrying counterattacks?" And he was quite surprised by this answer, "Am you mistaken?" With your training style, you have to teach such a difficult move, do you hate this little guy very much? ”

Griffitz repeated without changing his face, "You just attack." ”

"Okay~" until he spoke in vain, and the sparring man replied with a long tail note, "Griffitz...... Pavilion, down. ”

After saying that, the two of them prepared for battle. "Let's get started." The old man gave the order, and the sparring man unceremoniously picked up his wooden greatsword and slashed it.

"Phew!" Not surprisingly, the blade of the sword was blocked by the shield. It's just that, unlike Yu Yi's block, after being blocked from attacking, the sparring partner's figure was obviously unbalanced, and it was at this moment that Griffitz grasped it, a half-spin slash, and the sword slapped his leg fiercely.

Ignoring the sparring partner who was howling in pain, the old man turned around and asked Yu Yidao, "Do you see clearly?" ”

Although he was not very reluctant, Yu Yi could only shake his head this time. It was true that he still had the feeling of slowing down when he saw his mentor just now, but even so, he still seemed to be missing something. "I'm sorry, uncle, I seem to see ...... too clearly this time"

"How do you know if you can't try it if you don't try?" Griffitz interrupted, gesturing at the sparring partner, "Go, practice with him." ”

Yu Yi couldn't excuse himself anymore, and came to the sparring partner with a shield and sword: "Old Zhuang, let's practice!" ”

I suffered a loss at Griffiths just now, and the sparring man was feeling a nest of fire, but he didn't expect someone to come to the door so quickly, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

The two put on a stance, and this time, without even waiting for Griffiths next to him to order, the sparring man slashed at Yu Yi with a sword.

'Accurate Block, Damage Greatly Reduced, -1'

Perhaps because of his relaxed mentality, Yu Yi easily blocked this sword. It's just that he didn't make his opponent temporarily unbalanced with a block like his mentor did. So, the sparring partner continued to attack with a thief in his heart.

'Excellent Block ......'

'Precise Block ......'

'Standard Block ......'

"Stop!" Finally, Griffitz spoke.

Yu Yi also understood that he had failed to learn the so-called parry counterattack, and couldn't help but say: "Uncle, if you demonstrate once, just once!" All right? ”

"Anyway, you only have one chance a day, and you didn't take it yourself. Come back next time. The old man refused without thinking.

At this time, the sparring man also came over with an expected look and persuaded: "Young man, don't be obsessed, you won't be able to learn it again." This kind of movement, if it is a normal teacher, will also be taught for a few days. ”

But Yu Yi didn't intend to use his words as an excuse, the key is that he knew that he was actually only a little bit away, and he could learn a little bit. It seems that he has only missed a very small link, but in short, he is confident that he only needs another chance to succeed on his own.

It's just that the old man doesn't seem to have any intention of letting go.

"Mentor! So you're here! At this moment, a lively voice reached the ears of several people.

Turning around, there was a girl standing in the bright sun. At first glance, the girl's energetic face is not very beautiful, but it can make people feel a kind of youthful charm, and the hair that is straight up in front of her forehead is tied into a cute braid, revealing a smooth forehead, making her look confident. She was petite in size, but she was wearing a set of warrior leather armor that looked a little out of style, and her slender legs were also equipped with small leg armor. At this moment, she was putting her hands on her hips, looking at Griffitz here.

Presumably this is the female apprentice in the mouth of the previous sparring man, she should have been studying with Griffiths for a while, so she should not be a player, but an NPC.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, mentor, I brought your favorite roast rabbit today! I caught a hare myself! With an excited face, she handed the food box in her hand to the old man, "Hey, who is he?" Turning her head, she realized Yu Yi's existence.

"He's my new apprentice today." Griffitz replied as he opened the food box.

"Aha!" Hearing the old man's answer, the girl seemed very excited, "That's my junior brother!" Hello, junior brother!" As she spoke, she generously stretched out her hand to Yu Yi beside her.

was called "little junior brother" by a little girl who looked a little immature, Yu Yi's eyes couldn't help jumping, but he still politely held the delicate hand, but he didn't expect to suddenly feel the force from the other party's hand, and he almost didn't scream when he pinched it. At this time, he had to reacquaint himself with this girl who was more than a head above him, and it seemed that she really looked like a senior sister.

Seeing Yu Yi's frowning appearance, the girl couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Little junior brother, I am your senior sister, Miwei Floy, if you encounter any trouble in the future, senior sister will cover you!" ”

"Hello, my name is ......" Yu Yi was about to report his Cruise's pseudonym, but was interrupted by Griffitz on the side.

"I don't want to hear your name in this way."

Only then did he remember what the old man had said before, and Mi Wei on the side also had a clear face.

Suddenly, Mi Wei seemed to remember something unhappy, and changed her face to frustration: "Little junior brother is here, it seems that there is no place for the mentor to meet today...... We'll have to wait another day. ”

"For your sake's sake, I'll make an exception today." Griffitz, who was covered with a food box, said something that surprised everyone.

Yu Yi despised this old guy even more in his heart, he was still biting some rules just now and didn't let go, and now a roast rabbit beat him. But it was true that the smell that reached the tip of his nose made him swallow his saliva, and he hadn't eaten lunch yet.

At this time, the old man handed the food box to him and said the two words that made him crazy: "Take it." Then he walked straight to the sparring man next to him, who was also babbling.

"Mi Wei, I'll show you how to block a counterattack today." The old man said.

"Mentor, you're mistaken, I'm ......"

The girl's words were sharply interrupted: "Just watch! ”

"Oh!" The girl responded aggrievedly and stood beside Yu Yi and became an audience.

Soon, as before, the demo ended with a howl of pain from the sparring man. Turning around, the old man came to Yu Yi and took the food box, he opened the food box, as if all his attention was on the rabbit meat, but his mouth said lightly: "It's your turn." ”

Mi Wei touched the back of her head in embarrassment when she heard this: "Mentor, I'm really not very good at blocking, but since you said it, then I'll try it, don't be angry if you don't play well!" ”

She was just about to step forward, but was grabbed by a big hand: "Senior sister, let me come first." ”
