Chapter 12: The Storm Slashes
Scarlet Castle.
The continuous rainy season finally passed, the sun shone on the still damp outer wall of the castle, reflecting a piece of vines and moss, and the elevators outside the castle continued to go up and down, sending batches of materials into the castle.
......
Inside the castle.
Early in the morning, the first official student's breakfast, in the clean and refreshing cafeteria, there was enough food for each student in an unlimited amount, while Loren asked for a meat, a fish, plus a bowl of soup and some potato chips, and sat quietly in the corner alone to gobble up, while Avril was with several female students in the class.
"Hey, Loraine!"
Not far away, a group of teenagers walked over, one of them was a young man with breakfast and short fiery red hair, and sat down in front of Luo Lan with a joke, and said with a smile: "I'm glad that you actually walked out of the trial of the first three days and became our classmate." ”
"Thank you. Lorraine smiled.
"My name is Mondstadt!"
The boy smiled slightly and said, "Now, can you tell us how you felt when you hit the white ball during the trial on the second day?"
"Huh?"
Loren frowned, and couldn't help but think of the scene of Sgarret's tragic death, and couldn't help but twitch a little in his stomach, and frowned: "Mondstadt, why do you have to ask me this feeling, haven't you experienced it?"
"Nope. ”
Mondstadt put down his plate, smiled bitterly, and lowered his voice, "Country idiot, you don't think everyone needs to go through the first three days of trials, do you?"
"What!?" Loren was stunned.
At this time, a young man on the side smiled and said: "Haha, the turtle is the turtle, you probably don't know, right? The real nobles don't need to go through the trials of the first three days at all, especially the choice of life and death on the second day, the Mondstadt sitting in front of you is the elite of the younger generation sent by the River Valley family, and has been taken care of by the family before entering the Scarlet Castle, and the real strength of the people can control the luck, not like you lowly civilians." ”
Loren was stunned, hesitated for a few seconds, and then quietly drank soup and ate, ignoring Mondstadt and the others, but a girl in a short skirt stood up, frowned, and said, "Mondstadt, why do you say that to make Loren sad?
Loren looked up, and the girl who spoke was a blonde-haired girl with a plate in her hand, and her pretty face was full of anger.
"Yo, I thought it was, it turned out to be Caroline, the beautiful girl of our seventh class! What, you want to protect this kid?" said Mondstadt with a lukewarm smile.
Caroline frowned, "Mondstadt, you're talking too much!"
"Hmph, Young Master Ben is willing, what's the matter with you?"
Caroline gritted her teeth and said, "We'll see." ”
With that, she turned away.
Not long after, the slender figure of the assistant teacher Mikaela appeared at the door of the restaurant, dressed in the women's military uniform of an imperial knight, with one hand on her slender waist, and said with a smile: "Students, there are still ten minutes to go to class, don't be late, Instructor Haimu is already waiting for you." ”
......
Ten minutes later, the training ground outside the classroom.
Hai Mu was dressed in armor, holding a broadsword, his eyes were deep and introverted, strong and majestic, looking at a group of teenagers, and said: "Today, it is your first official class, the course is very simple, I will teach you the introductory offensive skills of the Knights of Light, now, everyone is optimistic!"
He gently lifted the long sword, and with a low shout, the star source power in his body suddenly surged, and wisps of starlight penetrated into the long sword along his hands, forming a fine wind blade on the surface of the blade, and then jumped forward, and a sword slashed at a huge rock about one meter thick in front of him.
Suddenly, a group of students let out an exclamation, a sword to split the rock, almost everyone can do it, including Luo Lan, but a sword can cut a meter-thick rock so neatly, this is a great test of strength and speed, and, obviously, not only strength and speed, but also the mystery of combat skills.
Haimu slowly stood up, his expression relaxed, he raised the long sword with one hand and put it on his shoulder armor, smiled lazily, and said: " This move, called Storm Slash, is almost an entry skill to become a member of the Knights of Light, the so-called Storm Slash, is to feel the wind element spirit in the breeze, comprehend the power of the wind element, and integrate this epiphany in the star source force, and transform your star source power into the power of the wind element into the blade, in this way, the wind element will wrap your blade, and it is the wind element that actually cuts the rock, not the sword blade, this move Storm Slash, many people have learned, but there are few people who can really practice to perfection. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a row of rocks behind him and said, "In this month, everyone's main homework is to cultivate the Storm Slash until you can cut these rocks with a sword, this is the first assessment for you to become a formal student, if you can't pass it within a month, then there is no way, you can only join the Bright Knights' external servants and work for the Knights to repay their cultivation consumption." ”
In the crowd, Mondstadt couldn't help but laugh.
The Seawood Knight raised his eyebrows and said, "What's your name and why are you laughing?"
Mondstadt stepped forward, "Teacher, my name is Mondstadt, and I think ...... It's pointless, because I can do it now. ”
"Really?"
Haimu couldn't help but laugh, "Mikala, give him a training steel sword, if you can't cut it, Mondstadt, you won't want to eat anything for 24 hours." ”
"Yes!"
With a confident face, Mondstadt held the steel sword, and his whole body exploded with star source power, and the star source force was very dark in color, it was the legendary third-order star source power, and after a loud shout, he jumped up, and the blade was wrapped in star source power, and it slashed on the rock with a "click", but the blade only slashed into an inch, and it couldn't cut in again.
"No...... Impossible?" Mondstadt's face turned to surprise with confidence.
"Hmph, you used to cut ordinary stones, but our training stones are black rocks dug from the river valley, and the hardness is much higher than ordinary stones, go down. ”
Haimu's eyes were indifferent: "Mikala, make a record, Cadet Mondstadt is forbidden to eat and drink for 24 hours, otherwise he will be sent directly to the Scarlet Castle Law Enforcement Camp, understand?"
"Understood, Instructor Haimu!"
Mikaela was smiling and proudly standing in place, sketching something on her notebook.
Everyone was stunned.
"Alright. ”
Haimu continued to carry the sword blade, and said to the students with a smile: "Let's start, close your eyes and concentrate, to feel the rhythm of the wind, to feel the restlessness and tranquility of the wind element, if you can't sense the elemental spirit, you can't practice the real storm slash, this is your first lesson, and it is also a lesson that must be passed, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me, or the assistant teacher Mikala." ”
A group of students sat cross-legged.
Luo Lan was a little dazed, holding his steel sword and standing in place.
"Lorraine, you come with me. ”
Hai Mu waved his hand and took Luo Lan to a corner of the training ground, and said with a soft smile: "If you don't awaken the star vein, you won't be able to obtain the star source power, so you don't need to feel the power of the wind element elves, but you need to find another way, because your advantage is strength and speed, in terms of strength and speed, no one in the class is stronger than you, so you need to break through the current limit." ”
Luo Lan nodded: "Teacher, what should I do?"
"With a heavier sword. ”
Haimu groaned and said, "I will ask Mikaela to bring you two two-handed swords for the great knight, this two-handed sword is very heavy, reaching a hundred kilograms, if you can swing such a two-handed sword freely, and then practice speed and explosiveness, as long as the speed, angle, and explosive power are enough, you can also split the black rock of the river valley with one sword." ”
As he spoke, he smiled meaningfully: "Never underestimate the explosive power of the physical body, which is the source of human power. ”
"Okay, teacher!"
......
Soon after, Mikaela sent a giant sword, at least a giant sword for Luo Lan's size, the two-handed big sword used by the great knight, a full one meter five long, and very heavy, with Luo Lan's wrist strength is quite difficult to pick up, after all, the power of a punch is three hundred kilograms, but pure wrist strength, it is far from this level.
However, Luo Lan still struggled to pick up the two-handed sword with one hand, and it was extremely difficult to swing it, as if he was dancing with a mountain in his hand.
Mr. Haimu is gone.
On the side, Mikaela held the notebook between the twin peaks, leaned against the wall buttress on the side, watched Luo Lan practice the sword, the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, and said: "If you don't have enough strength to swing the sword, then you might as well try to pick it up first, hold the long sword flat, the longer the support time, the better, don't be too impatient, otherwise no matter how much you eat for breakfast, it will not be enough to consume like this, not to mention that your hand injury has not completely healed." ”
"Yes, teacher. ”
In the blink of an eye, the young man's face was already covered with sweat, but he did not slack off at all, and still struggled to raise the two two-handed swords high with one sword in one hand, without moving.
......
In this way, three days later, Luo Lan is still at the level of arm strength and wrist strength, and his body has almost completely recovered to his peak state under the sufficient sleep and excellent diet in the past few days, and even under the continuous hard training, his wrist strength has been faintly improved, and in the early morning warm-up training, after the students of Class 7 flew over the central square, Luo Lan saw a familiar figure, which made him almost grit his teeth in Shenyang.
The big knight Gray, he appeared again, this time bringing a carriage of wild boar, wild deer and other prey, and Gray also seemed to recognize Loraine, and couldn't help but be stunned: "This wild boy...... Not dead yet!?"
