In terms of swordsmanship level, Egger may not even be half of the chief swordsman originally invited by Arya's father, but teaching a girl with no foundation in swordsmanship is not a competition after all, and a high level does not necessarily have an overwhelming advantage.

Iger still vividly remembers that his physics teacher taught him in junior high school...... It may sound like an outdated joke, but it's true. When I was in junior high school, my parents were busy starting a business, so I went to a small school in my hometown, and there was no shortage of Chinese and mathematics teachers in that small campus...... Everything else has to be recruited, and her homeroom teacher is a young woman who has just graduated from a sports school, and she teaches a whole class of physical education and physics classes alone.

The half-way homeroom teacher's level of physics can be described as extremely low, she studied on her own and prepared for her lessons, and she can still recall the comical situation that often occurred in the classroom at that time, when the homeroom teacher corrected the mistakes in what she had taught in the previous class. But interestingly, even in this extremely backward and harsh conditions, the physics scores in the class were still far ahead of the other two classes led by teachers who graduated from the normal school.

For enlightenment, whether the knowledge is profound is not the decisive factor, but more important is whether the lecture method can be listened to, whether the content is easy to understand, whether the teaching attitude is correct, and whether it is a good example - can lay a solid foundation for students and cultivate students' interest in learning, then as an enlightenment teacher, you are qualified.

It is true that the homeroom teacher and physics teacher who graduated from the sports school would never be able to teach anyone high school physics, but the appearance of her serious lectures and patient guidance and answering every student's questions was firmly imprinted in Egger's mind until she graduated from the physics department of the university. Even today, he still firmly believes that the "best" junior high school physics teacher he met at the beginning.

＊＊＊

Now, he is about to play Arya's sword enlightenment teacher, although the level is average, but he believes that as long as he is serious and patient, he will not teach worse than Sir Elisha.

Egger agrees to the girl's request to learn the sword, and the most direct purpose is to establish a good relationship with a member of the Stark family, so that it will be easier for Eddard to dip the light of the "King's Hand" in case of emergency. With a clear goal, he naturally won't be as strict and meticulous as the dance teacher from Braavos in the original plot...... Without playing any trick of throwing the sword over to see if she could catch it, he handed the girl a lighter training sword very decently, and told her how to hold the sword and stand by hand, and the lesson began.

Arya is left-handed, which is interesting, and according to a theory she heard before the crossing, her left hand reacts faster than her right hand, so she may have been born to be a good swordsman.

"There is no great swordsmanship in the world, only countless sword skills and defensive offensive movements: stabbing, slashing, slashing, teasing, slamming, sweeping...... Wait for the attack, dodge, block, frame, and set aside...... etc. for defense. Iger did not dare to mislead his children, but he only picked on what he had heard from Gary and Ser Alyssa Thorne, which was absolutely correct and universally applicable: "It is for a swordsman to learn and master these movements, and to know when and in what combinations to use them." ”

"We start with the basics, lay the groundwork, and when the time is right, you can decide on the technique and style that works best for you. ”

Egg began to teach the girl the most basic sword movements, and there may be hundreds of people in the world who can make these movements more beautiful and skilled than themselves, but they don't necessarily teach Arya better. Egger had only started learning swords more than a year ago, and now that shortcoming had become an advantage - he still vividly remembered the difficulties and doubts he encountered in the process of getting started, and the solutions he finally came up with. To the surprise of the Night's Watch, the little she-wolf mastered it so quickly that it soon asked to learn a new trick.

"How long am I going to do this? ”

"How long is it, these are the most basic movements, and you want to run when you learn to walk, and if you think you can, then try to attack me." ”

Ping Pong made a pair of moves, and Arya didn't even touch the corner of Egger's clothes.

"The skirt is in the way, can I take it off?"

"No, overcome the difficulties, you are a girl, Miss Stark, there will be many occasions and opportunities to wear skirts in the future, will the enemy give you the opportunity to change your pants?"

"Hmm...... Why do girls wear skirts, how convenient and comfortable it is to wear pants!"

"Don't throw the pot on your skirt, come and keep practicing!"

"Not fair, this sword is heavier than my sewing needle!"

"Much lighter than a real sword! Besides, are you going to use a sewing needle for the rest of your life?"

......

Amid Arya's complaints about skirts and training swords, the two practiced until lunchtime. After eating something, Egger offered to rest, there is no need to be too anxious, the amount of training is large, whether the girl can eat is one thing, Egger is afraid that she will learn too fast, and she will be exhausted in less than a month.

They returned to the inner office, relaxed in their chairs and chatted, as "master and apprentice", the two had only met a few times before, and they knew each other too little. As for Egger personally—he also hopes to quickly close the relationship with the Stark girl through a few heart-to-heart conversations, just like that day in Winterfell by to attract Tyrion's attention—the content is naturally based on "Caina" as a template, tailored to this playful and willful little girl.

......

Completely expected, Arya was quickly attracted by the carefully woven lie, and what Egger told the girl was not the advanced technology and system of "adoption", but the concept of gender equality and the free and open atmosphere that were most lacking in the world of ice and fire: in that faraway country west of the Sunset Sea, girls could also learn swordsmanship generously, and they could also enter the army and even become government officials through normal channels...... and, perhaps most importantly, for many girls – the ability to choose their own husband, and even ask for a divorce when they are not satisfied.

If that's all there is, at most, Arya already yearns for that fictional country, but when she hears that Egger came to Westeros and became a night watchman after an accident while traveling around the world, the girl's eyes suddenly light up.

"You're an adventurer!" The girl's wolf blood is almost boiling, maybe it is more appropriate to say that the soul of the middle two is burning?Egger instantly became her new idol: "When are you going home, take me with you on your next adventure~"

"God knows when I'll be able to go home, Westeros doesn't have a ship that can safely cross the Sunset Sea. ”

"That's right...... Okay, then I'll tell you some more adventure stories!"

"Don't practice swords?"

"Wait, no hurry. ”

It's a little troublesome for the girl to change her interests so quickly, and it's easy to make up some stories about Caina, after all, in a sense, Egger is indeed from "Caina", but he is not really an adventurer...... Of course, I have never eaten pork or seen pigs run, and since I was a child, I like to read fantasy and adventure novels, search for memories, and pick out some to process into my own private goods, which will not be difficult for him.

Just as Iger was making up the story, Tyrion's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Egger, come out to pick up the customer, the first bond buyer has come to the door!"
