Chapter 38: Night Attack

Glancing down, Ivo gently read the cover of the book in Ender's hand: "How to Be Courageous." ”

Ander's face turned red, and he hurriedly hid the book behind him, not wanting Ivo to see it, and he said excitedly: "Mr. Ivo, this is really, really fate...... I've always wanted to pay it back, but I don't know who you are......"

"Don't pay it back, it's not bad money. ”

"W-How can this work......" Ender was a little anxious.

Ivo's eyes rolled: "I don't want money, you come to clean the dormitory, it will be regarded as a debt, if you don't agree, then I don't want you to pay the debt." ”

"Well, well. ”

......

In the afternoon, there was an exclamation in the dormitory, and Ander ran in, waking up the meditative Ivo, panting and saying, "Mr. Ivo, someone downstairs is looking for you." ”

Ivo answered casually and went downstairs, and sure enough, it was Nafi looking for him, and she changed into a robe-style school uniform, elegant and beautiful.

The male students in the dormitory all poked their heads out, attracted by Nafi's appearance, their eyes were full of fire and coveting, and when they saw Ivo and Nafi talking, they made Nafi cover their mouths and chuckle from time to time, so they looked jealous and asked each other about their identities, and soon knew that Ivo and Nafi were freshmen.

"The man's name is Ivo, he is a freshman in the warrior department, and the girl is a student in the cultural department, she only entered the school yesterday, and I heard that she is a student of the Royal Academy. ”

"Really?!" someone couldn't believe it.

"What an idiot!" someone said sourly, jealous.

A sturdy student like a calf's eyes lit up, "Don't rob me, everyone, I'm Valle must pursue this beautiful girl!"

"Hehe, how could such a temperamental beauty fall in love with you, a big stupid cow," the hair covered half of his eyes, and the somewhat handsome student stroked his hair and laughed mercilessly: "Only a charming, handsome, and cultivated swordsman like me can attract the attention of this kind of beauty." ”

"Ocott, who do you say stupid?!"

"That's you, Valle. ”

"Damn sissy!"

"Bastard, are you trying to fight?!"

The surrounding students immediately dispersed, and Valle and Okote were the second-strongest students in the warrior department and the swordsman department respectively, and they were afraid that they would be accidentally injured in the fight.

A tall and burly man suddenly trotted over, wearing a snow-white coat and a lion's mane shawl, like a white lion, with a strong aura and a strong aura, he looked around: "Who is going to fight, plus me!"

Valle and Ocott's faces twitched, and they hurriedly hooked their shoulders and backs, pulled out a smile, and said in unison: "Brother Barlow, we are joking, we are all classmates with deep friendship, how can we hurt each other." ”

Barlow looked disappointed, "It's boring. ”

One student muttered, "Isn't your focus on beautiful women?"

......

Nafi was going to live in the manor, and the two talked casually, and soon ended the conversation, Nafi turned to leave, and a Linches family crest carriage was waiting at the entrance of the academy, carrying Nafi away.

The students upstairs saw the luxurious carriage that obviously belonged to the nobles, and immediately fell silent, they were all commoners, and they all had a subconscious inferiority complex in the face of the nobles, and their enthusiasm was like being extinguished by cold water, and they went back to the room in despair, Valle and Ocott looked at each other, full of helplessness.

"Alas, my first love ended before it even began. ”

Barlow looked at Ivo, turned and walked to the fourth floor, muttering to himself on the way, "There's a newcomer, find time to fight." ”

......

The morning sun awakens the sleeping earth.

The next morning was the Combat Skills Instruction Class, and the ninety-three students of the Warrior Department gathered in the training ground, waiting for Instructor Mapoyav, Ivo stood alone, chatting with Ender, the other students cast curious glances from time to time, and some of the students had fake disdain in their eyes mixed with jealousy.

Maboyav came to the training ground, holding a big sword, the students stopped talking, he swept his gaze, stopped on Ivo for a while, and said: "No matter what kind of powerful combat skill school, the foundation is the simplest attack move, the foundation is the most important, but few people pay attention to it...... In this class, I'm going to teach you how to slash and stab. ”

There were many iron two-handed swords on the ground, and the students each picked one up and began to practice with Maboyav's guidance.

"Step forward, loosen your wrist, and only tense at the moment of attack, pay attention to the position of the tip of the sword......"

Although the training foundation will not make the warrior significantly stronger, the more solid the foundation, the easier it is to improve the mastery of combat skills. Although Ivo didn't use a sword, his basic training was just as effective, so he sweated and began to exercise in earnest.

There are dozens of basic movements of combat skills, such as slashing, splitting, stabbing, picking, etc., and the basic movements are matched with each other to form a powerful school of combat skills. Ivo attaches great importance to the basics, his thinking is more open-minded, and when he usually exercises his hammer flow combat skills, he will also try to integrate various combat skills into more powerful skills, and "Shock Chisel" is his first achievement.

In terms of the study of combat skills, his level far exceeds his own level.

Maboyav paced to Ivo's side, staring closely at his movements, and from time to time to instruct, Ivo adjusted his movements in time, half an hour later, Ivo felt that something was wrong, wiped his sweat, turned his head to Mapoyav, who had been standing next to him, and wondered: "Vice principal, why don't you leave next to me, you are guiding others." ”

Maboyav smiled and said, "You are a new student and need more guidance. ”

The academy attaches great importance to Ivo, so Maboyav puts more energy on Ivo, Ivo's performance makes him very satisfied, the force is even, and he always retains a force change when slashing, which is different from most students who want to use all their energy on chopping, Maboyaf secretly praises Ivo's solid foundation.

Maboyav's attitude towards Ivo made the rest of the students look sideways frequently, the curious even more curious, and the jealous even more jealous.

After practicing for a while, a belated black-haired man walked slowly, "I've arrived." ”

Maboyav nodded slightly, the black-haired man cherished words like gold, didn't say anything, picked up the big sword casually, and practiced with the others, the simple movements seemed to have a special rhythm in his hand, and the heavy big sword danced in the hands of the black-haired man with a cold and deadly feeling, and Ivo's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to him.

The black-haired man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with black hair and a shawl, and his face was cold, which made his angular and handsome face have an unapproachable temperament, and if he didn't look at his appearance, he would subconsciously ignore the age of this person, and around him it was like an invisible barrier, excluding all communication and interaction with others, and all the students avoided him with some fear.

The black-haired man seemed to sense Ivo's gaze, glanced at him slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then turned his head as if nothing had happened.

Ivo felt that the black-haired man was a little familiar, and there was something strange in the secret way, so he stabbed the burly student next to him, "Classmate, who is the black-haired man?"

The burly student happened to be Valer, glanced at Ivo and ignored him, Ivo muttered "It's really unfriendly" and patted Ender on the other side's shoulder, "Ender, I want to ask you something." ”

Ander hurriedly put down the big sword and replied seriously: "His name is Hades, he is the strongest student in the warrior department, and he lives on the fourth floor like us. ”

Ivo became interested: "I heard that the fourth floor is full of weirdos, where is it strange?"

"Hades lives in 410, he is very indifferent, he hardly communicates with other students, but his strength is very strong, he is the first in the warrior department, Valle can't beat him, and he will be defeated in ten seconds of actual combat training (Valle interjected: You don't need to emphasize this sentence), and the one who lives in 408 is Barlow, the strongest student of the swordsman department, we all call him 'White Lion', he is a battle maniac, and I ......" Speaking of this, Ender suddenly blushed a little and was distracted.

The Valle urn on the side said angrily: "Ander is the least daring warrior I have ever seen, he didn't even dare to cut people, he actually chose two iron shields as weapons, and never fought back, what a coward." ”

Ander's face turned red, and he didn't say anything: "I, I'm afraid of getting hurt......"

Valle snorted, "That's why we call you 'Turtle Shell'." ”

Ivo wondered in his heart, since the people on the fourth floor of the dormitory were all students who were valued by the academy for their potential, he didn't think Ender had much potential no matter how he looked at it.

In the afternoon, there was a physical training class, 30 miles of weight-bearing long-distance running, 73-pound iron greatsword swinging a thousand times, handstand around the academy three times, 520-pound stone pier weightlifting 500 times, etc., Ivo easily coped with it, only a layer of fine sweat, showing the physical fitness equivalent to a level 2 warrior, and some students who underestimated Ivo also put away their contempt.

Although Hurricane Academy is at the bottom of the rankings, the students also have the average level of a Level 1 fighter, and Ivo's performance is already above the level line.

During the practice, Ivo focused on Hades, no matter what kind of training he conducted, Hades was still expressionless, as if he couldn't feel fatigue, but his training volume was at least the standard of a level 3 warrior, Ivo was sure that he hadn't seen Hades himself, but his intuition kept reminding him that the two must have crossed paths.

It's already night after class, the academy's cafeteria pays for meals, and there are a lot of precious ingredients, civilians can't afford to eat the most expensive meal of 500 Benas, but Ivo still has 200,000 Benas in his hands, he doesn't treat himself badly, nutritious food can make the body better absorb the effects of a day's exercise.

Ivo went to the library, borrowed some books on the theory of combat skills, and went back to the dormitory to read slowly.

Many schools of powerful combat skills are not passed on, of course, there are also widely spread combat skills, from which powerful warriors summarize experience and write books, although soldiers attach importance to actual combat, but theoretical books can also make people understand.

Nafi asked one of the language students to run errands and gave Ivo a note saying that Talper had agreed to Ivo's stay in the academy and sent two guards to protect him secretly, also with the intention of surveillance, Ivo decided to study here for three years, and it didn't matter what Talper was doing.

At night, Ivo and Ander stayed in the dormitory to read books, Ander was weak and shy, not like a warrior at all, when chatting with Ivo, he would always tense his body nervously, and he had no confidence in speaking, so that Ivo thought he was a woman dressed as a man, after a fierce "inspection", Ivo was sure that Ander was really a boy, lowered his head and continued to read, ignoring Ander's loveless expression on the face of Ander who was paralyzed on the bed.

From time to time, the sound of male students chatting downstairs was very lively, and in a trance, Ivo thought that he had returned to his high school boarding career in his previous life.

The first day of college life passed so uneventfully......

It's impossible!

Late at night, the starry night was deep, all the students fell asleep, Ivo, who was lying on the bed and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, got up lightly, and quietly walked out of the dormitory without waking Ender.

Hades ...... I must have seen you. ”

Ivo tiptoed towards dormitory 410, and once he became suspicious, he would never abandon it.

Quietly opening the door to the dormitory with the spare key that Jean Paro had stolen, it was pitch black, and Ivo had just stepped in one foot when an alarm suddenly arose.

"Poof!"

A cold light appeared in the darkness of the night, stabbing Ivo's throat.

Ivo kept his composure at the critical moment, stabbing first and coming first, the iron dagger blocked the murder weapon stabbed to the throat like a frame, and the familiar murderous aura invaded, and a flash of inspiration flashed in Ivo's mind.

"It's you, the assassin of the Shadow Brotherhood!"

Hades's expressionless face emerged from the darkness, and his tone did not fluctuate: "You know too much!"

Ivo smiled and said, "If I said that one plus one equals three, would you give up on extinguishing your mouth?"
