Chapter 7: Friends

The newly assembled students in the playground stand in line according to the squads.

"Seeing that you guys are also looking forward to it, I won't say anything anymore, our combat department is also action-oriented, so let's start, each squad warms up for forty laps. ”

"Four people only need to run forty laps, so even if one person is afraid that the remaining three team members will not run in forty laps, you can assign it yourself, and now run for me!"

It was only at this moment that they understood the meaning of the squad......

Although they all have some foundation, not everyone can finish ten laps, so there are many team members who can't run, or even a team can't run.

Fortunately, Ling Meng and the four of them were all completed.

"Fourth, I can't see that your physical fitness is not bad. Xinghui saw that Ling Meng didn't pant much, while his second and third brothers gasped a little.

"I've been doing this workout all the time. ”

Since there are still some runners who haven't finished, those who finish first get a certain amount of rest time.

"Great, but if you have a problem, just say it, as your eldest brother, it's okay to help you to a certain extent. ”

"Hmm...... "Somehow, Ling Meng couldn't cope with this type.

"Second brother, third brother, you too. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely rely on you when I can't hold on, but we can still persist in this trial!"

"That's right, that's right, it's because it's a small team, so we can't do anything that drags down the team, we are older than the fourth brother, and we have to set an example!"

However, soon, the two of them were tormented by one new one, and they had no strength at all, so that Ling Meng and Xinghui helped them do a lot of tasks that they hadn't finished.

"Although there are a lot of people who do not meet the standard, but there are a lot of people who meet the standards in the team, I am very pleased with this, although the ability is important, but getting along is equally important, everyone is good at different things, now you are helping your peers, and in the future your companions are helping you. So don't complain about the shortcomings of your teammates, make up for each other's shortcomings and support each other is the team. ”

"That's the end of this morning's lesson, I won't record your lack of experience in the first week, but if there are teams that fail to meet my targets the next week, then penalties will begin. ”

"Okay, everyone's worked hard, let's go to dinner, the noon time is free to arrange, and gather again within ten minutes after the bell rings at two o'clock in the afternoon, those who are late don't have to finish their meals today, understand?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, if you don't know where the cafeteria is, go with the classmates who know, then dissolve it now. ”

"Ah, starving, starving, walking, eating. ”

"I worked hard for the fourth brother, but I didn't expect you to help in the end. ”

"It's a small thing, you can exercise for a while and you don't have a problem with this intensity. It can be seen that he is quite satisfied with his teammates, "But fourth brother, you can survive this weak clothes." It's really impressive to the eldest brother, and you can eat it openly later. ”

"Thank you, but I have a small appetite and can't eat much. ”

"Heh, aren't you saving me money, don't do this!" Xinghui came over and naturally hooked Ling Meng and Tao Yi, "I heard my eldest brother say that the food here is delicious and not expensive." ”

"Yes, I was worried that it wouldn't taste good at first, but since my eldest brother said so, I'll have to eat it later!"

The three of them talked and laughed, and came to the cafeteria with a somewhat silent Ling Meng, not far from their dormitory. The cafeteria is very large, and there are many people, but most of them are tired and half-dead.

The four of them lined up, and the three of them were drooling while smelling the fragrance, they were too hungry, and when it was their turn, there were a lot of chicken thighs, chicken, pork, and vegetables, and Ling Meng just ordered some potatoes, tofu and Japanese vegetables.

"Fourth, how can you take all the vegetarian food, if you still practice like this afternoon, how can you withstand it, I said I'm in for a treat, hurry up and eat some meat." The two brothers chimed in.

"Thank you, big brother, but I don't eat meat. Feeling that they were really worried about themselves, Ling Meng had a lot of good feelings for him.

"Isn't it, is there anyone who doesn't eat meat?"

"Hurry up, we're still hungry!" the people behind couldn't wait to get up.

"Okay, okay, we're done, let's go. When they found a place to sit down, a staff member came to collect the money, "and washed the dishes themselves after eating." ”

"Yes. ”

"Eat, eat, eat. ”

A few people couldn't say anything after gobbling up, and they ate it cleanly after a while, because Ling Meng's portion was not much, so the speed was about the same.

"Fourth, are you really enough to eat so much?There will be a lot of physical work after this, are you really full?" The time spent with Ling Meng was not long, but he could feel that he was a rather introverted person, Xinghui was a little worried about whether he was still a little unlet so he was choosing to be reserved.

"You don't have to worry about me, I'll take care of myself. ”

"It's the two of us who feel unreliable now, brother. ”

"It's okay, when it's time to ride and shoot, it's time for us to perform!"

"Yes, yes, I want to shoot an arrow now. ”

"In this way, the second brother and the third brother, your archery is very good. ”

"Of course, the dead will only shoot that, and the living will be up to three arrows. Tao Ke said proudly.

"Then I'm looking forward to your performance. ”

"Fourth, do you have anything to be good at?"

"Sword. "I couldn't think of what I was good at, so I said that I felt okay.

"Oh - then I have a chance to learn about it, and I'm very confident in swordsmanship and spearmanship. ”

"Good. ”

Cleaning and playing with dishes while chatting, the four of them returned to the dormitory after washing, although they wanted to lie down and rest like this, but they still had to beat the water tonight while they still had the strength.

"Ah, I'm going to sleep for a while, you guys. ”

"I'm going to sleep too, I'll rest when I can, I don't know what training is waiting for us in the afternoon. Tao Yi, who was stretching on the side after washing his face, said.

Ling Meng also went to bed after taking off his shoes and planned to rest, but instead of sleeping, he was sitting and meditating, he had been accustomed to this way of resting for a long time.

"Fourth, what kind of strange way of resting are you?" asked Tao Ke, who was on the opposite bed from Ling Meng, with some confusion.

"The fourth child is not resting, it is a sitting posture handed down by the ancient family nobles, and now there are very few people who sit like this, there is an ancient dojo next to our house, and people there sit like this. ”

"I see. ”

"Yes, so the temperament of the fourth child is quite similar to that ancient dojo person, my father originally wanted me and me to go and worship under the door of that dojo, but the Taoist said that our personalities are too different and refused. ”

"Is it better there than here?"

"My father spoke highly of the Taoist chief, but my brother and I couldn't stand the silence there, so we finally came here. ”

"Could it be that your father is a powerful man, big brother?"

"It's a knight nobleman, so I won't talk about the specifics. Xinghui seemed to have some scruples and didn't plan to go into too much detail.

"That's a great guy, too. ”

"Yes, an amazing person. Don't alienate me because I'm the son of a nobleman, I'll be sad. ”

"Are you worried about this, don't worry, big brother, we have already been mentally prepared for coming to this academy to be with someone, and compared to those local nobles, the knight is still quite desirable. ”

"Whew, that's good, I actually hate the aristocracy, and I've been exposed to a lot since I was a child, which really makes me uncomfortable. ”

"It seems that we can become good brothers, what should we do together after this? For example, form an adventure group, go out into the deep mountains and old forests together, and take the sky as the quilt1?? Don't you feel very happy that the earth is a bed, digging for the elixir of the earth, looking for rare beasts, and occasionally escorting the caravan group to go north and south together?"

"Oh - it's really great, the eldest brother just thinks differently! Then my brother and I will have to work hard, if we don't become a good fighter in these two or four years, my brother and I will go back to inherit our parents' farm. ”

"That's it, but don't worry, it's definitely okay with me urging you!"

"What about you, fourth, what do you think?" Xinghui looked at Ling Meng expectantly.

"I'm sorry, I can't call the shots. Ling Meng, who opened his eyes and looked at Xinghui, poured cold water on him, there was no way, his life and life were not just his own.

The dormitory was quiet for a while, and after a while they all fell asleep.

sighed silently, a little helpless about Ling Meng, who had stiffened the atmosphere, it was really difficult to get along with people......

When the bell rang again, Ling Meng shouted to the three of them, and after quickly tidying up their clothes, they didn't forget to pick up the kettle to go to the gathering, because they didn't take the kettle in the morning, many people didn't drink water.

In the afternoon, they did not do physical exercise, but all of them held wooden swords, and the teacher instructed them to attack and defend each other. Because he had to take into account that many people were novices, they were all very basic things, which made Xinghui feel a little dull, because he knew that Ling Meng was also very confident in swords, so he simply asked him if he wanted to have a relatively open sparring practice, Ling Meng also felt that there was nothing to learn from that kind of foundation, so he agreed.

The teacher also allowed those of them who already had a certain foundation to play at will, so many people began to practice like this.

Xinghui's sword-holding posture was already quite knightly and very orthodox, while Ling Meng had not studied it systematically, so he stood opposite Xinghui with his sword so casually, staring at him silently and saluting each other.

"I'm going to attack, fourth brother. Saying that, Xinghui attacked the past, without the slightest intention of releasing water, because the sword was quite light, so he used it to swing towards Ling Meng faster than he usually held the iron sword.

Ling Meng avoided it quite easily, his backhand was a sword swing, Xinghui easily caught it, and after catching it, he took a step back and opened the distance and another sword, opening and closing, Ling Meng quickly fell into passivity, and after parrying dozens of knives, Xinghui cut the sword in his hand.

"I lost. Although his expression did not change much, Xinghui seemed to see that he was a little unwilling.

"Accept the fourth brother, don't be discouraged, at your age, you are already very strong, and I will not necessarily be your opponent in a few years. "Pick up the wooden sword that Ling Meng dropped and return it to Ling Meng.

Silently took the sword, without saying a word, Xinghui saw that he seemed to be a little awkward, so he walked away to find other swordsmanship competitions.

"Fourth, don't be too sad, just like the eldest brother said, you are already very strong, ordinary people are estimated to have been cut into several sections by attacking like that, and it is already great that you can defend like this. ”

"I'm not sad, I'm just thinking about what happened. "Xinghui's swordsmanship is not the same as Xia Ye's, Xia Night's sword angle is very tricky, the speed is fast and varied, while Xinghui's is all reckless, and the big opening and closing are endless......

Sure enough, none of the people in the class with some strength were Xinghui's opponents, which also made the other teams no longer dare to underestimate them, and even remembered them, after all, Xinghui's swordsmanship was indeed the strongest in their class.

The next seven days are also similar to the first day, physical exercise in the morning, and swordsmanship in the afternoon, but basically there is no foundation to listen to the teacher, and the foundation is a mess, although Xinghui's swordsmanship is indeed higher, but it has not completely convinced his classmates, so that he is often defeated by wheel battles, but he doesn't care at all, and even enjoys it.

"Ah, I'm going to have a holiday tomorrow, and I'm tired at first, but after getting used to it, I think it's fun. ”

"Oh, second brother, are you addicted too. ”

"Yes, although I still prefer bows and arrows, the close-range hand-to-hand combat of swordsmanship is also very exciting. ”

"Hahaha, it seems that you also understand that feeling, do you want to find a time to get together during the holidays. Just bring some wine for you to taste. ”

"Okay! It's decided! Fourth brother, are you coming?" said the three brothers.

"Let's go, let's take advantage of the holiday to deepen our friendship!"

"I'm really sorry, I really can't ......" Although he can go, and Zhencheng will approve of him going, but that will cause trouble for Uncle Wang and Xia Ye, so he can only refuse.

"I feel that the fourth child also has a lot of unspeakable secrets, because we didn't think it through. ”

"I'm really sorry...... If you can, tell me what you find happy. ”

"No problem! I promise to tell you everything that happened from our meeting to our disbandment!

"Thank you. ”

The three of them discussed the time and place, and fell asleep one after another.
