Section E: Chapter 22: Sword Training (Denor)
He didn't know why he said this, maybe he forgot what was going on in his head when he was nervous.
Now as soon as he said it, he regretted it and felt that he was so stupid.
But fortunately, Amy, the easy-going Aia, didn't want to laugh at him at all, and didn't let the topic that was embarrassing for Deerno continue to develop: Lucina would definitely follow the topic and ignite a new round of heated discussion.
"You're thinking too much, how can we be so unlucky?" Amy saw Denor's worry and nervousness, and encouraged him, "Come on! ”
"Is that how it starts?" Somewhat overwhelmed, Deenor was afraid that it would be rude for him to strike suddenly.
"Well, you're attacking me. I only dodge. Amy quickly finished the rules, slightly raised the weapon that was adapted to Aya's strength and was particularly light for ordinary people (generally the weight of a one-handed long sword is about 1KG, Aya's long sword is generally only 0.5KG), and showed a confident smile: "I don't know how to use this thing, and I don't have the strength to parry." But it's still okay to pretend to be it. I'll slow down and dodge, and you can treat me like a normal enemy and slash at me as much as possible. ”
Even if Aya slows down, she is much faster than the average person...... Deerno thought uneasily: And, if you cut her...... Although Miss Amy can't die because of Aya, it will also hurt very much! Five times the pain, it's terrifying to think about......
In fact, if you want to use Aya as a sparring partner, Lusa and Lucina are better choices.
The former is a melee marksman, and the latter is a melee mage.
But Lusha's movements were too fast, and Deenor was sure he couldn't accept it.
"If I slash you, you'll get hurt. Deerno didn't want to see Amy hurt herself, so he reluctantly said, "Let's not practice like this." ”
"That's just a statement...... In order to make the most of your strength, you must see me as an enemy and try to make the attack fall on me, instead of being afraid of using all your strength for fear of accidental injury, which will not achieve the effect of training. Amy smiled confidently and encouraged Derno again: "All weapon skills are practiced in the end, and they must be trained with real weapons. Danger is unavoidable, and you shouldn't take it too seriously. ”
"Miss Amy, can't you put a personal shield on yourself?" Although Dereno understood that Amy had a point in saying and didn't think that he really stabbed the nimble Aiya, he was still a little worried, and really didn't want this training to see blood.
A personal shield is a shield that protects the whole body after release without affecting the attack. The effect is that the whole body is shrouded in a protective film that quickly becomes invisible (if there is armor, it may be visible like Tucker's place) under the magic fluctuations and light, and some magic symbols (such as a small orb of light in the shape of a counting orb) float around to calculate the number of attacks it can withstand.
"I wouldn't use that kind of shield, just a normal full-body shield...... It's the kind that requires spells to maintain the magic shield. Amy said with a little regret that she couldn't do it: "Don't worry about this...... Not a big deal. ”
Despite his worries, Deenor made up his mind and decided not to delay any longer. He pulled out the long sword at his waist that had become extremely cold due to the cold sea breeze, and after clenching the hilt of the sword with both hands, he reminded Amy that he was about to attack, and then nervously approached Aya, thinking about how to attack.
"Come on, don't think too much about it. Amy held the weapon and continued to motivate Dereno as she focused: "Repeated practice will form a conditioned reflex. Even if you don't think you have the potential, you can still get some results by working hard...... I've heard Tucker say that. ”
Who is Tucker?Derno was confused: it didn't seem necessary to ask, though.
Although he didn't remember who the man was, Deerno felt that it made a lot of sense. The action of swinging the sword really has muscle memory.
Therefore, he launched an attack on Amy in one go. So, for the next five minutes, no matter how hard he tried, Amy was able to dodge slowly: Deerno's offensive moves were too obvious, lacking speed and lacking in change.
From the movements, you can see that he is professionally trained. At least don't act like a layman.
It's just that I'm not good at learning.
Until he was exhausted, unable to hold the sword and crouching and panting, he couldn't get close to Amy's body. After pulling back and forth for a long distance, the two men who were originally near the bow of the boat were almost at the stern.
Even next to it is the wheelhouse. The people inside were drinking vodka and driving the boat, not paying attention to the two men at all.
"No, no...... "I gasped, Derno was on a long sword, he really had no strength, and he even wanted to lie on the deck to rest: "I can't hit ...... at all"
"If you don't hit, it's okay. Amy stretched out the white tentacles of the Eye Demon from the bare back and patted Denor's shoulder to comfort him, "The most important thing is to get used to the feeling of swinging the sword. Come on, go ahead. ”
It felt strange to be slapped on the shoulder by a tentacle, but it was still a little comfortable.
Inspired by Amy, Deerno also decided to continue training. So, a moment later......
He was held by Aya's tentacle and staggered back to the cabin in a big blow. Exposed to the public, Derno felt very shameless.
"What's wrong with him?" Director Leo was taken aback when he saw this scene: "The sailor is afraid that the mast will fall?"
"No! I just slipped and fell......" Holding his waist in pain, Derno sat by the fire with Amy's careful help: "When you practice martial arts...... Something went wrong. ”
At that time, Derno did not grasp the strength of his sword swing after the lunge, and suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground, twisting to his waist.
In this regard, Amy looked a little guilty on the side. She thought she would have been able to hold him up if she had moved quickly. Of course, Deerno knew very well that it was all because he was too clumsy, and he certainly wouldn't blame her.
Fortunately, after the dean's examination, it was found that the back injury was really not serious. Take a break and you'll be fine. It's just that in this way, Deerno's practice of swordsmanship is even less motivated.
"Just strike this match, it will burn! It's amazing!" At this time, a mage held the match in shock, watched it burn, and only let go of it until he burned his hand.
"Are you sick, the first time you've seen a match?" the other mage next to him scoffed at this.
"Look, bait, aren't you?" the mage with the match cried triumphantly, "You think I'm retarded!"
It's stupid...... Amy stared in a daze.
