"Start with a sword, keep your feet steady, and hold the hilt with ...... fingers."

In the small courtyard behind the tavern, Artoria is teaching Zhang Daya and Tom swordsmanship.

That's right, Tom also has to learn, he used to use a sword at all, it was not a swordsmanship at all, it was all based on his reflexes as a cat.

Zhang Da also didn't want Tom to eat, sleep and sleep every day, and now there is no Jerry to accompany him to run around, if he doesn't exercise much, he is afraid that he will become fat and become a ball.

So when he bought a bamboo sword, he also bought Tom a children's sword, but fortunately, he was still interested in learning new things, and he learned well, maybe it was the cat's curiosity that was at work.

And Zhang Daye, the discovery process is different from what he imagined.

Take a break and a beautiful girl like Artoria will help you correct your standing posture and sword holding posture hand in hand, even if there is no magic unfolding in the love drama, when the two hands touch, it should be a bit of a heart-pounding plot, right?

However, the actual situation is that because of the incorrect posture, Zhang Daya's hands are pinched red, and Artoria's hands are really a little strong......

Zhang Da also bared his teeth, endured it without making a sound, and had the heart to think about these miscellaneous things, which can only show that he is not serious about studying.

"Next is the main point of the stabbing action......"

"The ...... points of the chopping action"

"Be sure to ...... when you exert force"

Artoria explained and demonstrated the basic movements, and Zhang Da also followed Tom's example, and then adjusted the movements at any time according to her prompts.

After mastering the main points, it is a boring practice, a hundred times of swinging the sword can only be regarded as a warm-up, a thousand times can be counted as practice, Teacher Artoria is very strict when teaching, and there can be no mistakes and slackness.

Zhang Da is also okay, he has been exercising without stopping during this time, but Tom can't stand it a little.

As an unscientific cat, his physical strength is limited, and whether it is giving a piano recital or conducting a symphony, he will sweat profusely, although Jerry is causing trouble on both occasions.

When he first started learning, it was okay to put on all kinds of handsome moves, and Tom was very interested and had a lot of fun learning, but after swinging his sword a thousand times or something, Tom thought it would be better to kill him.

After a while, the whole cat was almost tired into a puddle of liquid, but when he saw Artoria standing in a row with them with a serious face and wielding his sword, Tom was pitiful and wanted to stop, but he didn't dare to stop.

The thief peeked at the movements of the two men for a moment, and Tom had a small light bulb on his head.

The reason why Artoria practiced with her was because she realized that her strength might still be insufficient after fighting with Shanks, and now she is different from the state when she descended through the power of the Holy Grail, her existence does not require the magic of the Master, and the battle is completely dependent on her own strength.

Moreover, she can continue to get stronger through exercise now, but not so easily.

One sword, another sword.

Zhang Da also repeated the same movements like a machine, until his arms were sore, and until he would deform if he didn't pay attention to the movements, and the energy on the back of his left hand rose from time to time, which gave him a little motivation to persevere.

When he felt that neither arm belonged to him, he finally heard Artoria shout to stop.

"Take a break, take advantage of this time to remember the essentials of the move, and then ...... Did you see Tom? ”

"Tom? Isn't it right next to me? Zhang Da also remembered that he had seen Tom swinging his sword all the time.

But when he turned around, there was no Tom, and there was only a plank of wood standing there, cut exactly like Tom's silhouette, and painted with paint of the same color as his body.

At the front end of the plank are two arm-like boards that can move up and down, and the bamboo sword is tied to it, and at first glance it looks like Tom is holding the sword in his hand, and a rope is tied to the hilt, which leads to the house, and as soon as the rope is pulled, the bamboo sword will swing, and then it will be bounced back to its place by a small mechanism such as a spring, and then the rope will be pulled again......

Zhang Da also looked stupid, after all, Tom is a manual touch, it is not strange to be able to make this kind of mechanism, the question is how Tom can replace his own under the noses of him and Artoria?

It was easy to find Tom by following the rope, and the guy found a beach chair out of nowhere, with a small table next to it, reading the newspaper and drinking cold juice through a long straw.

Tom hadn't noticed that the two men were looking at him, and he was comfortably crossing Erlang's legs, and as long as he shook his legs, the string was pulled, and the plank outside swung his sword......

Artoria opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, Zhang Da also twitched the corners of her mouth, gritted her teeth and walked over, I am tired as a dog outside, but you are idle as a cat inside?

Tom took a sip of juice and suddenly found himself covered in a shadow, and when he put down the newspaper, he saw Zhang Daye's kind smile.

Tom was stunned, bared his teeth and smiled awkwardly, and quickly moved his legs to make the stand-in outside swing his sword faster, signaling that he was working hard.

"Tom!" Zhang Da also looked back at the wooden stand-in outside, I don't know if he was laughed at or amused, whether this cat is stupid.

Tom was frightened by his shout, and hurried to untie the rope from his feet, but when he got up, the beach chairs snapped together, and caught him all in the way, leaving only his hands and feet waving as if asking for help.

"Ha ......" Zhang Da also really laughed out loud this time.

Even Artoria couldn't help but laugh.

What can you do with such a stupid and cute cat, of course, you choose to forgive him.

Tom, who had been rescued, served drinks to the two of them as if he were flattering, and gave Artoria extra snacks, and got a touch from the king.

Zhang Da would not envy a cat, he replenished a little water and then ran out to fill the energy of the activation summoning, and then started the lottery with great anticipation.

[Congratulations on getting it: Emiya's frying spoon, little mouse Tefei's diaper]

[Saved to inventory.] 】

Do you want me to bring all the kitchen utensils from the Emiya family? Can you change the scourge of the family, the coyote is crying!

And what the hell is a diaper...... After opening a new prize pool, is the prize pool in the world of cat and mouse still there? The probability of drawing a treasure is much smaller......

However, as your physical strength increases, the number of times you charge every day will increase, and there will always be a chance when the number of draws increases.

Even if you put aside the need for lottery, physical strength is really important, those top powerhouses fight for five days and five nights, ten days and ten nights at every turn, although I don't know if I can reach that level, but dreams are always there.
