Standing outside the clearing, the servants walked towards the two sides where the battle was over, and Ron, who had been watching the play, also swept his gaze to other places.

After a while, he saw a gray-haired Kaye practicing archery near the target in the clearing.

There are already a lot of arrows inserted in the target, and I have been practicing for a while.

Ron walked briskly in the direction of the two of them, picking up a short bow and a pot of arrows as he passed by the weapon rack.

Kaye saw him coming, put down his bow and arrows, and waved in greeting.

"Hey, Ron, why didn't your little henchman come with you?"

"Bill said he had something to do in the afternoon and probably wouldn't be coming. Ron looked left and right and saw that there was no one else besides him. "Aren't Captain Granger and Del here either?"

Del was the name of the bearded man.

"Who knows, I might have gone to pick up a mission from one of the Cadet Knights. ”

Kaye tapped the feather arrow in his hand, plucked a few stray hairs from the end and smiled. "What are you looking for them?"

"Yes, there's something I'd like to ask. Ron nodded, drawing an arrow and placing it on the bow before continuing. "It's about swordsmanship. ”

He slowly pulled his bowstring and aimed at a target in the distance.

The finger was released suddenly, and with a 'snap', the feather arrow shot directly at the bull's-eye.

He had mastered this kind of stationary archery, but there was still no way to move the target.

After all, for the training of swordsmanship, the difficulty of archery is quite large, and it even requires a little talent of its own, otherwise, there is no way to apply it in actual combat.

He also practiced this only to improve his eyesight and body coordination.

"Swordsmanship?" Kaye thought for a moment, frowning. "If it's not skillful, I think I might be able to help you. ”

"Is that okay?" said Ron, tucking away his bow.

He knew that Kaye was very strong and had a lot of combat experience, but the other party was using a double-edged axe, and he didn't know if there was an answer to his question about basic swordsmanship.

"You can talk about it. Kaye smiled. "I used to use the cross sword for a long time. ”

Ron paused for Kaye's kind help and nodded.

"Well, I've been feeling a little jerky with my sword swing lately, and it's a very strange feeling, and I wonder if it's my cause or something else. ”

"Jerky with a sword?" Kaye asked, raising an eyebrow. "Are you saying that swinging a sword is jerky and feels unnatural?"

"Yes, it's not the same as the previous exercises. Ron replied honestly. "It seems that there is something missing. ”

"Oh" Kaye nodded thoughtfully, thinking for a moment, a little uncertain. "I suppose if I'm not mistaken, you're probably in a bit of a transition. ”

"Transition!?"

Hearing Kaye's words, Ron looked at him with a slight frown.

"Yes. Kaye nodded at Ron and replied with a smile. "It's not surprising that this is a situation that a knight will have since he trained his basic swordsmanship to some extent. ”

"Huh?" Ron felt a shock in his heart, vaguely feeling that Kaye's next words were very important to him. "What's going on?"

Kaye seemed to be organizing the words in response to Ron's question, and paused before continuing.

"You know, the training of the subordinates in the training camp is uniform, but do you understand why some people use different weapons?"

Ron thought for a moment and replied with some uncertainty.

"Is it because of habit?"

"It's kind of a habit. Kaye nodded.

"Actually, the most important thing is that those knights have gradually found their own way of fighting and matching weapons through non-stop practice. ”

"How do you fight?" Ron seemed to understand what he was saying.

Seeing Ron's thoughtful expression, Kaye continued.

"Yes, although our training is the same, after all, everyone's habits in combat are slightly different, if you feel strange in practicing swordsmanship, I think you should pay attention to these details of yourself, master them and discard the inapplicable, you can form your own fighting style, which is also the only way to become a trainee knight. ”

"Yes?"

Hearing Kaye's explanation, Ron thought of the double-edged axe he used and Granger's dual swords, both of which seemed to have faintly formed their own way of fighting.

And the strength of the two of them is not comparable to ordinary knights.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head and asked.

"Since forming your own fighting style is the only way to become a trainee knight, what kind of strength is a trainee knight?"

The Apprentice Knight is really just a title conferred by the lord himself.

However, even if he is not a representative of the strength level, everyone who can be called a trainee knight is undoubtedly very powerful.

And Ron's strength of the apprentice knight is generally guessed from the mouths of other knights and his own impressions, and he really doesn't know much about the real specifics.

"Cadet Knight?" seemed to not expect Ron to ask the question, and Kay paused before saying. "They are a group of strong men who have been tested in a lot of battles and honed their style to the limit, and they have a lot of actual combat experience, even on the battlefield. ”

"I see, I think I understand. Ron nodded, lost in thought.

Kaye chuckled.

"Actually, the strength of the probationary knight is not ridiculously strong, as far as I know, Granger's brother once defeated the apprentice knight once, but then it seems that he fell on the head, and the person becomes weird. ”

Ron suddenly remembered the massive Isaac he had encountered in the cafeteria and the mace behind his back.

"Yes? That's unfortunate. ”

"Haha, if you see Granger, don't talk to his brother, the two of them don't have a close relationship. Kaye reminded.

"Uh" Ron nodded. "I see. ”

"Hmm. ”

Suddenly, Kaye threw away the short bow in his hand, picked up the wooden sword next to him, and smiled. "If you want to form your own way of fighting as soon as possible, then only keep fighting, and let you know your own shortcomings through the experience you have accumulated, this is my own method, do you have the courage to fight with me now?"

"Of course!"

For Kaye's kind teaching, Ron certainly had no reason to refuse.

He knows that only by fighting with people who are stronger than himself can he make progress, and if he blindly fights opponents who are lower than his strength, he will only waste himself.
