"Now we can get started. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info," Ogst said to Abel.

"What?" Abel asked, incomprehensibly, "Don't I need to take a sword? ”

"Of course you don't need to hold a sword. Abel walked around Abel and said, "The first thing to learn swordsmanship is to take steps. The sword in the hands of beginners can easily distract them from their unbearable steps. Now don't ask superfluous questions and follow my instructions. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, take a step forward with either foot, and it doesn't matter if you have your left foot or your right foot, as it depends on the environment. Point the tip of the front foot in front of you and rotate the back foot outward forty-five degrees. This is also known as the T-step, and this stance allows you to maintain a balance between the front and the back, the left and the right. The knees should be slightly flexed so that the movement is easier and smoother, which is often overlooked by beginners. Keep your upper body straight and your weight between your legs, and try to relax your body. Relaxation is very important, and some people start to stiffen as soon as they hold the shoulder of the sword, resulting in sluggish and inaccurate movements. ”

Able struggled to understand what Augst was saying, and assumed an uncomfortable posture.

"Not true. Abel's knee was tapped with the wooden sword in his hand and said, "It's not so bent, you need to dodge flexibly, not jump into the sky." Now try to move your upper body, and you will find that this pose can give you more effective postural adjustment. ”

Abel shook his upper body and said, "Can you teach me how to use a sword now?"

"It's still early, and then you're going to learn how to move. Ogst carefully checked Abel's posture and said, "The first thing to practice is the easiest forward and backward steps. Pull away from the T-step, take a step forward with the forward foot pushed by the back foot, and take a step forward with the back foot, keeping the toes pointing still throughout the process, so that you return to the starting T-step. Then practice backwards. Push with the front foot, take a step back with the back foot, and return to the T-step with the front heel. Take care to do this as smoothly as possible without letting your head mess up and down. This is the most basic footwork and should not take long to master. After moving back and forth, try to move left and right in the same way, followed by a backward and left diagonal direction, and then exchange the front and back feet of the T-step and practice all again until you are proficient. Another type of footwork is the "alternate step", which is also very simple. Starting with a T-step, the back foot takes a step forward and becomes a new front foot, forming a new T-shape, but the whole body moves forward. Then do the same backward alternating steps. ”

"How long will it take to become proficient?" Abel asked.

"Maybe a day, maybe a week. "After that, you'll need to learn how to hold a sword, how to dodge, and use what you've learned to find the enemy's flaws," Augst said. ”

"I don't think I'm going to spend a week practicing walking, or we'll just move on to the next lesson. Abel said anxiously.

After a sigh, Ogast threw Abel a wooden sword and said, "Let's see if you are conceited about your confidence in yourself. ”

Abel was very excited when he took the wooden sword, and before Ogst could say that he would start, he rushed towards the unprepared Ogst.

As soon as the wooden sword of August was horizontal, his body twisted and used his strength to bounce Abel away, shook his head and said: "You need to use your skills to break through the enemy's defense, instead of rushing to death, use the pace I gave you to try." ”

After Ogst finished speaking, Abel took a posture and stepped forward to slash a sword. Abel raised his sword to block it, but only found his hands that were shocked and painful.

"No, no. "You need to adjust the tilt of your blade to direct the enemy's slashing power away." But your blade can also get out of control in this defense, so what do you need to do?"

"Take advantage of the pace, I know. Abel shook his numb hand and said.

"Absolutely. With that, Ogst slashed at Abel again.

This time, Abbot took a step backwards when he blocked, and adjusted the angle sideways, making August's wild sword momentum useless.

Ogst stood still and said, "You're a fast learner!"

Serena sat on a stone chair in the courtyard and ate an apple, watching the two of them practice with all sorts of boredom.

Ogast had been using the water-release attack to familiarize Abel with the movement of parrying sword moves, and Abel quickly became familiar with this move.

Augst sighed and said, "You're doing well, but you're too passive. When a true knight competes in swordsmanship, he will prepare the incoming attack before the opponent makes a move. Just as I told you to always go back to the T-step that is good for dodging, the upper body must also have a body that can respond to enemy attacks at any time. Usually you choose the horn pose as the starting hand yourself, raise your sword to the side of your head, regardless of which side, and then point the tip at your enemy. This stance ensures that your sword can jump to various parts of your body at any time for effective defense. The other is called Ploughing, where the sword is lowered to your waist and the tip of the sword is pointed at the enemy's face. This stance allows you to look for flaws in the enemy's lower plate and launch a counterattack from the bottom up. ”

Abel, who began to sweat, gasped and nodded frequently, striking the standard horn starting pose.

"Always remember!" Augst added, "To survive is to win, and defense is extremely important." But it's not advocating a defense-only tactic, you know?"

"Yes, I understand. ”

After saying that, Abel stepped forward with a standard step, and he didn't know how much better than the first time he rushed recklessly towards Ogst.

Ogst raised his sword to block, who knew that Abel was shaking a sword. There is no force in the moves, and it is all about drawing out Augst's flaws. Then Abel relied on his cat-like skills to roll over to Ogst's back, a scene that even Selena on the side was secretly surprised.

Ogst quickly understood Abel's thoughts, and it would take time to readjust the sword he raised, and at that time Abel had already attacked his defenseless back.

Abel pondered that if Augst didn't immediately distance himself, he would surely be hit by himself. Na Cheng thought that Augst used his left arm to easily pick up Abel in mid-air.

Abel was shocked and unwilling, struggling hard, kicking his legs one by one.

"You cheat, it's not swordsmanship!" Abel shouted.

"The most important thing in the fight you have to remember. Augst laughed, "You're fighting against your opponent, not his sword." In addition to skill, you have to take into account other strengths that are very different from those of your opponents. ”

"Humph!" Abel pouted, his ears drooping.
