16. Knives and guns
As the saying goes, with a sharp blade, the murderous intent arises.
When Caesar Gattuso lifted the hunting knife in his hand and pointed it at Xia Yan from afar, Xia Yan realized the reason why this man was able to lead thousands of half-bloods as the leader of the student council.
Caesar was incomparably tough and murderous at this moment, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and with the majesty of an emperor, his posture did not look like he was going to a duel with the enemy, but like he was going to execute a prisoner who was about to be killed.
But this didn't frighten Xia Yan, if you had to compare, then Caesar's sense of oppression was not even as strong as that of a bald man.
Xia Yan held the gun in one hand, standing tall like a strong pine, fearless of any blow.
"It's kind of interesting." Caesar didn't look nervous at all when he looked at Xia Yan, but looked at him calmly, and suddenly became interested.
He wanted to say something, but Xia Yan didn't give him another chance to speak. I saw Xia Yan holding a gun in both hands, his front hand was slightly raised, and his back hand was pressed down, and a spear was picked up towards Caesar from the bottom up.
Caesar just jumped backwards slightly, and dodged the most basic attack in Xia Yan's marksmanship. But Xia Yan's offensive was not over, he sprinted sharply in the direction of Caesar's retreat, and the muzzle of the gun, which had risen to mid-air, slammed into Caesar's shoulder from a high place.
It was a powerful blow, and Caesar could imagine that if he did suffer such a blow, he would have to lie in the dormitory bed for a few days to recover.
Caesar swung his shotgun to the neck of the spear, knocking the spear to his side, and then quickly approached Xia Yan, trying to engage him in hand-to-hand combat.
Xia Yan naturally didn't want to easily lose the distance advantage brought by the long-handled weapon, so he quickly drew his gun and turned around, adjusted his posture and stabbed at Caesar again.
Seeing the red tasseled spear like a dragon, Caesar slightly sideways to dodge this rapid stabbing blow, but was hit in the back by Xia Yan's change of trick with the handle of the gun, although the wooden handle did not cause any substantial damage to Caesar, but still interrupted Caesar's strong advance.
Everyone outside the audience exclaimed, and the stalemate in front of them was far beyond their expectations. Judging from the picking, collapsing, and blocking just now, Xia Yan's gun momentum is mixed with strength in stability, and every time he shoots, he is very fast and powerful. It can be seen that this guy's marksmanship has definitely undergone systematic training, and it is not a random dirt road.
Well-trained, calm in the face of the enemy, and using every move clearly, Caesar had to admit that he underestimated Xia Yan's strength before the battle.
This is the end of the first round of temptation.
Caesar stared at Xia Yan coldly, he hated the feeling of being controlled by the enemy. He had to admit that Xia Yan, who was holding a spear, did have absolute frontal suppressive power in this wide dojo.
But Caesar was also well aware that all advantages correspond to potential disadvantages, and that nothing is born perfect in this world. As long as Caesar's hunting knife enters Xia Yan's body, the spear will be difficult to withdraw, and the situation will be reversed.
The jet-black light flashed suddenly, and Caesar rushed into Xia Yan's gun formation in two steps, and the hunting knife in his hand slashed at the muzzle of the gun in an instant, and both sides were shocked by the fierce force of the other party, but neither retreated.
Xia Yan and Caesar launched a second round of attacks at about the same time, and their martial arts skills in weapons were almost evenly matched, and both sides blocked their chances of victory in the competition of speed and strength.
The hand-to-hand combat became more and more protracted, and Caesar became more and more comfortable in the face of Xia Yan's spear attack, and he could even predict Xia Yan's spear's next offensive move, which was the only way to suppress the spear with a hunting knife in battle.
"Caesar is going to win." The old members of the Lionheart Society who were watching from the sidelines clasped their arms over their chests, shook their heads and commented: "The freshman is still a little tender, and he didn't get out in time, and he has now fallen into Caesar's battle rhythm." ”
No one echoed his words, because everyone's eyes were focused on Caesar and Xia Yan, who were in a state of battle. Before the dust settles, no one can easily say success or failure, and everyone loves to watch the drama of a desperate situation.
Xia Yan gradually slowed down his offensive, while also trying to dodge the attack from Caesar.
He had discovered that the spear skills he used, whether it was stabbing, piercing, teasing, collapsing, blocking, or pressing, were already difficult to use against Caesar.
Xia Yan also paid attention to Caesar's changes during the battle, and he found that Caesar's sword posture had formed a "circle", and after this "circle" against Xia Yan's spearmanship was formed, it was difficult for his attack to break through the blockade of Caesar's hunting knife.
Xia Yan's face was like frost, his eyes were like autumn water, and he only watched Caesar's knife swing slowly with cold eyes.
It's a little bothersome, but that's about it.
When Xia Yan once practiced guns with bald people, he always had a feeling that when his gun was extremely strong and fast, he could even feel that even time stood still, and there was only one line pointing at the gun, which ran through everything!
At that moment, at this moment, Xia Yan held his breath, holding the gun in both hands and stabbing again, he wanted to end the battle within one blow.
Wrists, elbows, waist, legs, all parts of Xia Yan's body began to approach the most perfect shooting posture.
Caesar hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, he was extremely confident in the defensive sword "Yuan" he had formed against Xia Yan's marksmanship, and he believed that he could defuse all the dangers in this battle that he could have predicted, or even could not foresee.
A wisp of red tassels floated in the air, and the spear broke through the limit of his own speed in Xia Yan's hand. With the long front in front, Xia Yan and the gun in his hand turned into sharp stabbing blows.
Xia Yan looked at Caesar in the invisible "circle" under the arch of the blade, and silently said in his heart, this shot will break all circles!
Only between the lightning and flint, the tip of the spear was already against Caesar's chest.
Immediately after, everyone heard a "clang", Caesar threw the hunting knife in his hand on the ground, and helplessly spread his hands to the crowd, indicating that he had given up resistance.
There was silence in the dojo.
The Lionheart Macho Man, who was still analyzing the battle situation, had already opened his mouth into an O-shape at this moment, and he didn't even see what was going on at all, and the battle was already over.
As for the wonderful facial expressions of the rest of the students, they are basically the same as him.
"It's me who loses." Caesar said sincerely: "I am sorry for the contempt I had given you before, scusa. (in Italian)"
"I don't care about that." Xia Yan withdrew the spear against Caesar's chest, his gaze swept over Caesar, and then looked around the dojo and said, "I'm just here to go to college, that's all, please don't target me." ”
"Great introduction." Caesar smiled and applauded, and then said, "I didn't expect the principal to bring surprises to the academy beyond our expectations, with you, I don't think my remaining three years of college will be too boring." ”
Xia Yan shrugged his shoulders indifferently at Caesar, turned around and left the training dojo under the gaze of Caesar and the onlookers.
Xia Yan walked out of the dojo and walked slowly along the tree-lined path paved with cobblestones. He didn't know where he was going, maybe he should call Chu Zihang first?
"What are you doing in a hurry?" A pair of powerful hands suddenly put on Xia Yan's shoulders from behind. Xia Yan looked back and found that the owner of the hands turned out to be Caesar.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yan didn't give him a good look.
"Dormitory No. 213 in District 1, I don't think you are more familiar with it than I am." Caesar smiled brightly.
"How do you know?" Xia Yan's head was first momentarily watted, then stared at Caesar in disbelief, and stammered and asked, "You, you... Are you the senior and roommate introduced to me by the principal? ”
"Exactly." Caesar smiled slightly.
This time, Xia Yan can't be rectified, and the opponent who was still fighting with him just now suddenly confessed that he became a roommate who wanted to accompany him through the four years of college, what kind of bloody script is this?
"You don't have to think about it that much." Caesar smiled and said, "This is also my visit to you. ”
"Investigation?" Xia Yan didn't know why.
Caesar explained, "Because I was at first more resistant to the headmaster's arrangement, but the headmaster told me that it was not too late to make a decision after seeing you. ”
"I see." Xia Yan asked a little embarrassed: "I don't know what Senior Caesar thinks, if you think I don't meet the standard, I can completely change the dormitory." ”
"You're good." Caesar said heartily: "Even in some ways it exceeded my expectations. ”
"May I ask what your spirit is?" Caesar changed the topic and asked a question that Xia Yan didn't expect.
"Spirits?" Xia Yan did not immediately answer Caesar's question, but hesitated.
Caesar asked suspiciously, "Haven't you experienced spiritual vision, haven't you awakened your spiritual spirit?" ”
Xia Yan thought of the principal's dangerous evaluation of Jun Yan mentioned by Professor Guderian, and said with some confusion: "No, I do have the spirit of words, but according to the judgment of the principal, there is a high probability that it will not be liked by you. ”
Caesar was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Then I probably understand, if someone else asks you about the spirit of words, it's best not to reveal it." However, at the Kassel Academy, students are transparent about their life experiences, skills, and speech, and I think someone will always find a way to find out your details. ”
