"Your Highness, your training has been going well recently, and today I will teach you the first skills of a warrior." Under the scorching sun, Granus stood in the clearing and said with a serious face.

"Skills?" Twilight Star said stunned, in recent months, Granus has only exercised himself every day, but because of his age, Twilight's physical fitness has risen very limitedly, and now the situation is already very prominent, because according to the elf's algorithm, I don't know if I have spent my childhood in five hundred years? Although Twilight Star is not an elf, she is only twelve years old, and she looks like a pink and tender "Lori".

"Yes, but first you need to choose the right weapon for you, and if you want to fight with hand-to-hand, it's okay, I'll find a fighter with the relevant profession to replace me." Granus said, pointing to a corner of the clearing. Garland had already laid out a variety of unopened training weapons and equipment, all specially built for Twilightstar's current size, each of which looked perfect and beautifully made.

"Weapons?" Twilight Star was a little hesitant, because he didn't know what he should choose, the bow and arrow should be good, and his shooting ability was very strong, which could be seen from the previous sniping, but it was not enough to have a long range in the main god space, you must be able to adapt to all situations and environments, so melee weapons are also necessary, so take a shield? And then what? Is it with a gun, a spear? Or knives, swords.

"Mentor Granus, do you have any suggestions?" Twilight looked at the various weapons and asked as she looked back at Granus Yuyue and looked back at Granus Yuyue.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, there's nothing I can do about it, weapons are the second life of a warrior, and I don't have the right to decide for you." Granus Hazuki said with an apologetic look on his head.

"Really? I understand. Twilight nodded, began to think again, and then reached out and picked up a small shield on the shelf, this shield is also diamond-shaped, just enough to protect his entire torso when he stands upright, if he wants to hide completely behind this shield, he only needs to bend down and squat down, and this shield is not very large, and it will not affect his mobility when he picks it up with his left arm.

After that, it's time to choose a melee weapon, and Twilight looks at the shelves with a wide variety of weapons and falls into deep thought.

"Long weapons should be the best choice, with the shield, whether it is a spear or a spear is good, but this is a configuration that needs to be lined up in formation to exert the maximum effect, if I am not mistaken, the apostles should be fighting alone, I should choose a more flexible one." Thinking of this, Twilight looked away from the long weapon and turned to the sword.

"Swords should be hard to practice, right? It seems that many people say that kendo is difficult to comprehend in his life, and that sentence of sword hiding with me is the best explanation, so I should choose a simpler one, I am not a kendo genius. ”

After a brief moment's hesitation, Twilight reached out in his right hand and took a broad-bladed long straight knife, which should be very simple to slash with a single move, and this knife should look very good at slashing.

A sword and a shield, the armament is completed, as for the bow and arrow, it can only be considered later, but the types of weapons here are really very rich, not only the weapons in Twilight's memory are here, but there are even a large number of weapons that Twilight Star can't understand at all, this should be the precipitation of this world history, as well as the credit of the warriors with extraordinary strength, they have been studying all kinds of weapons, and naturally they can have such a background.

"I'm done choosing, but there are bows and arrows to try, but I can't take them, so I'll have to look at them later." Twilight Star turned to Granus after taking her weapon.

"Shields and knives? It's not a bad match, so now, Your Highness, let me affirm again, although you are the child of the goddess, but I will not have any indulgence in you because of this, you came to me for warrior training, you must also have your own ideas, otherwise it is your best choice to learn to cast spells with the goddess, so I ask again, are you really ready to become a warrior? Granus said with a stern face, staring at Twilight with her turquoise eyes.

"Of course, I'm ready!" Twilight nodded her head earnestly, her face almost as old as Dawn's childhood.

"Yes, then now raise your shield and charge at me!" Granus picked up a shield and said in a deep voice.

"Charge?"

"Yes, the first skill that every warrior learns is to charge, whether he is strong or weak, now, charge at me." Granus explained, and continued.

"I see." Twilight nodded, took a deep breath, raised his shield and turned sideways towards Granus, he wasn't worried about hurting Granus, after all, Granus was at least a B-rank powerhouse, and he was only an E-rank.

Twilight quickly lunged forward with his shield, and he used all his strength to rush in front of Granus, only to be knocked away by his shield just as he was about to hit Granus.

He was still holding his shield, but he couldn't control his being flapped out in the direction he had come, flying backwards for some distance before falling heavily to the ground.

Granus controlled his strength well, and Twilight just landed with his weapon on the butt and didn't roll backwards, after all, a child with a weapon and no experience would probably hurt himself if he rolled up like this.

"It's too weak, Your Highness, with all due respect, your charge just now is weak and powerless, and you don't even know what you're charging for, you're just carrying out my orders." Granus Hazuki said with a dissatisfied expression.

"I don't understand, is there anything special about the charge? My strength and skill are not as good as yours, so it should be normal for me to be easily defeated. Twilight got up and dusted off his dusty clothes, a white suit that Dawn had put on for him when she knew he was going to be a warrior, and although she didn't have any supernatural powers, she cherished it.

"Your Highness, do you know what a warrior is?" Granus asked suddenly, not answering Twilight's previous question, but instead asking an irrelevant question.

"A person who mainly uses strong physical strength and uses weapons to fight in close quarters." Twilight spoke about her impressions of the warrior.

"Wrong, Your Highness, your understanding of warriors is wrong from the root." Granus said, shaking his head.

"Huh?" Twilight looked at Granus with a puzzled expression.

According to the records of ancient books, the goddess of the dawn created our elven race, but our race was very weak at that time, and there were countless powerful races and creatures around us, although the goddess taught us how to become stronger, how to use strength, but the newborn elves are very weak This is undoubted, but although my ancestors are weak, they have always guarded this land, guarded the goddess, any enemy who dares to invade here, No matter how strong it was, the ancestors dared to swing their swords at it, and this is the first warriors, who dared to fight for the conviction in their hearts, no matter how weak they were, no matter how strong the enemy was. In the same way, whether you are strong or weak, whether you are trained or not, even if you are just a civilian, if you dare to fight for your beliefs, you are a warrior. Granus Hazuki held his head high, and his tone was full of reverence and pride.

"Fighting for faith?" Twilight repeated slowly.

"Yes, fight for faith, Your Highness, what is your faith? What do you want to fight for? I've traveled for many years, and I've seen countless warriors, and although there are many who fight for power or lust, power, etc., they all undoubtedly have their own goals, and they all have their own things to obtain, so what do you think? Granus said softly in a guided tone.

"What do I want? I want to be with my mom forever! Twilight said aloud without hesitation, this was the essence of his thoughts and desires.

"Very well, you have found what you want, then the next thing you need is strength, although I will defend you to the death, but the weak without power can never really control their own destiny. Now, with your faith, charge me again! Granus raised his shield again, and then said solemnly.

"Good! I understand. Twilight raised the shield in his hand and rushed towards Granus again, this time, his heart was so bright and clear, he clearly understood what he wanted, this time, no longer confused, no longer overwhelmed, no longer just following orders, Twilight seemed to have those friends who had passed away in front of his eyes, he had been powerless and could only watch them die one by one, and now, he must not let such a thing happen again, for his mother, for the sake of being with his mother forever, for the sake of ...... For yourself!

"Pong~~!" Twilight, who rushed in front of Granus, was once again slapped out by Granus without the slightest pause.

"Come again!" Granus's indifferent voice sounded, he entered the training state, he will not have any indulgence to Twilight, as an experienced warrior, he knows very well that any indulgence is irresponsible to the apprentice, it will only harm the apprentice and not any good, and in the future, when you go to the battlefield, maybe people will resent you because of your indulgence today, and he will never show any mercy to the child of the goddess he believes in, because he is a strong and experienced warrior.

"Humph!" Twilight Star was not discouraged or frustrated in the slightest, he was well aware of the difference in strength between the two sides, and when he heard Granus's words, he quickly got up and rushed towards Granus again with his shield.

"Bang~~" The result did not change in the slightest, and Twilight flew out again.

"Come again!" Granus's emotionless, cold voice rang out again, and Twilight charged again without the slightest complaint or hesitation.

"Bang~~" was knocked away again, and Twilight didn't need Granus's reminder at all, he stood up again, ignoring the pain and dirty clothes that were already dirty, and rushed towards Granus again with his shield.

"While faith is important, strong skills are also indispensable, your footsteps need to be more steady, your posture with your shield needs to be adjusted, and the unloading force of the shield when the shield is stressed, all of which need to be learned slowly, and your pain will be exchanged for experience." Granus slapped Twilight Star away again and slowly taught Twilight how to use the shield better, as well as various techniques when charging, although Twilight had also trained in the army for many days before, but that training was completely different from today's training, two different systems, everything had to start from scratch.

……

In the twilight sunset, Twilight sat on Idriel's back with a tired face and a full body of pain, and returned home, unkempt and dirty, and walked to the tree, before he could react, and then was taken into a warm embrace.

Twilight, who was gently held in her arms by Dawn, suddenly reacted, she was now covered with dirt, her clothes were dirty, Twilight wanted to push her mother away, she didn't want the dirt on her body to stain her mother's white clothes, but she couldn't do anything, and it seemed to have been dirty, Twilight Star hung her hands and cried with a sad face, looking like she wanted to cry but couldn't cry.

"It's okay." Dawn said softly, and then a gentle milky white halo lit up on his body, wrapping Twilight Star in it, the power of light not only purified the dirt on Twilight's body, but also healed those large and small contusions on his body, Twilight Star also shrank in Dawn's arms under the light and gradually fell asleep, he was a little too tired.

Dawn looked at the child who was gradually falling into a deep sleep in her arms, gently hugged him and turned around and walked towards a hole in the towering ancient tree, which was a specially formed place for her to rest on the World Tree, which was her home and Twilight's home.

Today, Dawn didn't see the sunset.
