Toddlers and Teenagers Chapter 4: Rookie Warrior Tut
After the Elder of the Black Frame had fully mastered the magical fireball, I arrived at the Goblin Warriors......
My current name is Tut, a name that the elders gave me.
............
Training ground.
I've been here for a month now, and during that time I've had to complete the training required of a Goblin Warrior every day. Physical training, dodging flying rubble, and sparring with the warriors...... Day after day, my body became more and more muscular and my body coordination became more flexible......
............
"Yo, the new kid. Is the training done?" a warrior in leather armor walked over and asked me enthusiastically as I stopped moving.
"It's done. I answered his inquiry very briefly.
"Really? You're so fast. The warrior in leather armor looked at me in surprise and said appreciatively.
"Then I want to ask, when can I learn how to use weapons?" I asked the soldier with a serious face in front of me.
"Oh, you want to learn so soon, well, you come with me. The warrior nodded to me and motioned for me to come with him.
I kept walking with the warriors, and the passages here became strange. I feel like the warrior and I are walking upwards at the moment, could it be... Is it to get out of the underground?
"Are we going to the ground?" I asked the warrior in front of me, cautiously.
"Poofhaha~ You're really interesting. You don't know how to use weapons now, so why do you want to go to the ground? Follow us to the weapons training ground. ”
The soldier laughed heartily at my inquiry, and then he explained to me where we were going. Then he ran, and I followed closely behind.
............
"It's here. The warrior raised his hand and motioned for me behind me to stop.
"Here......" I couldn't help but widen my eyes when I saw this place, as if I was attracted to this place.
The space for weapon training is very large, and there are many goblin warriors here to hone their proficiency in the use of weapons, such as swords, knives, shields, bows, and cross-hammers...... and other weapons are neatly placed on the weapon rack.
Just as I was about to get a sword, the warrior beside me stopped my reckless behavior.
"Boss Sain, are you there?" the warrior called out in the direction not far ahead.
"What's the matter? Oh? It's you, Ques. What's the matter?"
On the sparring platform not far away, a goblin warrior with an average body proportion wearing light armor stepped down. The goblins in the audience gave way to him.
"Boss, let's talk privately. Quest motioned for me to wait here for a while.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" asked Sain, impatiently.
"Elder, I want our warriors to train this kid well............" Quith told the reason for this incident in detail, and told the impatient Sain in front of him.
"What are you talking about?!Isn't this kid from the shaman's side?Why did you come to us?"
Hearing what Quis had just said, Sain's face became solemn, as if he was thinking about something important.
............
I'm probably the youngest in this training arena. Looking around at the goblin warriors who were watching each other on the training stage, I felt a little out of place.
"Boy, what's your name?" said an older goblin warrior next to me, casually asking me.
"Tut. I politely replied.
"That's the name. "When he heard my name, the warrior thought thoughtfully.
"Well, I'd like to ask. What is the world like on the ground?" I asked curiously as I asked the rather old warrior beside me.
When he heard my question, the warrior looked at me with some surprise. He exhaled and spoke patiently to me.
"On the ground there are camps and tribes of our goblin warriors and shamans, ancient forests, exotic monsters, animals, and our allies, the orcs. ”
Listening to what he said, my curiosity was instantly seduced.
"I've heard others say that there are other races in this world besides the orcs and us, right?" I asked with a serious face, looking at the warrior beside me.
Faced with my question, the warrior's face suddenly became serious. He was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly.
“...... There are other races. In addition to us and the orcs, there are the Titans of great size, the elves living in the World Tree, the dwarven kingdoms established by the dwarves, and ...... Humanity that sees us as mortal enemies. ”
Titans, Elves, Dwarves, Humans...... As I listened to the warrior's story, I was thinking about the inter-ethnic issues.
"Tut, do you really want to go to the ground?" the warrior suddenly asked a contented me.
"Hmm!" I nodded affirmatively.
Seeing my reaction, the older warrior laughed complicatedly.
............
"That's it, I'm only responsible for training him how to use the sword. Sain said to Queth with a helpless expression.
"Thank you, boss. I'll go first. Quest thanked Sean and turned away.
"Warrior Chief, why are you here?!"
When he saw the warrior next to me, Sain was visibly startled.
"Long time no see, Sain. Are you doing?" said the older warrior his habitual greeting when he saw Sain.
He is... Warrior Chief?!I was secretly taken aback.
"Alright, what do you command?" replied to Sain with a respectful face.
"I want you to work hard to teach him how to use all his weapons, can you?"
"Okay, no problem. Rest assured. Sain replied very seriously.
"In that case, I'm relieved. The warrior chief nodded and said reassuringly.
"Tut, the world on the ground is beautiful but dangerous. Study and train yourself to become a qualified warrior. Aren't you going to the ground? Don't let yourself down. ”
The Warrior Commander looked at me solemnly as he spoke to me earnestly.
"I see, Warrior Chief. I replied steadfastly.
"Okay! I'll leave this kid to you, Sain. After the commander finished speaking, he left the training ground.
Seeing the warrior captain leave, Sain took a deep breath.
"What's your name?"
"Tut. I replied.
"Hmph, follow me. ”
Sain took me to the training arena where there was no one on the deck.
Throwing an iron sword in front of me, "Do you know how to use a sword?" asked Sain, looking at me as he picked up the sword.
"I don't know how to use it. I replied a little awkwardly.
"Chop, slash, stab, you do these actions for me to see. ”
Looking at me as I wasn't too confident, Sain decided to take a look at my sword basics first.
I held the sword in both hands and did the three actions of chopping, slashing, and stabbing seriously.
"No, it's too stiff and not flexible enough. And the way you're pushing is wrong. Seeing our move, Sean covered his face with his hand and couldn't bear to look at it.
"What do you have to do to do it right?" I asked, bowing my head.
"Lift your head! you're a goblin warrior, don't be afraid of any difficulty!" said Sain, holding my chin with his hand, glaring at me.
"I see, don't make an example!" Hearing this, my eyes reappeared determined.
"That's what a warrior looks like. Sain nodded in approval.
"How do you usually exert yourself, do you use your waist to drive your whole body, or do you use your legs to drive your whole body?" Sain asked me how to exert my body.
"I think it should be the waist and elbow swinging the sword hard. "I'm not so sure.
"Waist force, you try to use your legs to drive the whole body to swing the sword. ”
Hearing what I said, Sain decided to ask me to work hard in a different way.
Skeptical, I decided to give it a try, and after the legs drove the whole body, the force passed through the waist and then reached the elbows and arms. With a sharp swing, the iron sword made a sound that broke through the air.
"How do you feel?" said Sein, who saw me swinging a sword, smugly.
"I feel that this method is quite labor-saving, and the most important thing is that it is not so difficult to use the starting force. "I said my first feeling.
"Well, you're quite right. You're doing it right at the moment, but it's not flexible enough. ”
After hearing my words, Sain clapped his hands in the affirmative, while also pointing out my lack of flexibility.
"I'm going to show you how flexible you can be with a sword. Sain drew the sword behind his back, intending to show me how.
Although there are only a few simple movements of chopping, chopping, and stabbing, they far surpass me in terms of agility and speed.
"Do you see clearly?" said Sain, suddenly.
"See clearly. I nodded in the affirmative.
"It's good, you can see it clearly just by looking at it once. Your reaction speed is good. Hearing my words, Sain said with a little compliment.
"Then you can practice swinging your sword to improve your strength and reaction speed. Understood?" said Sain, retracting his sword as he explained my next training.
"Okay, I see!" I replied to Sain's greeting, face in hand and ready to practice.
"Oh, if you want to be more flexible. A one-handed sword is the best option, and this type of sword is not a greatsword that you don't need to hold with both hands. Although the strength is greater in both hands, the flexibility is not always enough......"
Seeing that I wanted to practice now, Sain finally reminded me of the importance of using a sword.
"Good. ”
I held the iron sword in one hand and practiced swinging it against the stake.
That kid... Seeing my constant swinging of the sword, Sean was a little surprised.
This kid...... Maybe you can surpass the warrior commander in the future, right? I'm afraid he can be a ......
Seeing that the way I used my sword changed, Sain didn't stop it, but watched my movements with relish. This method of using a sword has not even been seen by him......
Come on, rookie warrior Tut.
