Herwen's garden.

Nelly draws her sword and slashes at the dummy, leaving several marks on the training dummy.

The movement and swing trajectory of the blade is neither beautiful nor graceful.

But each one is deadly.

The dummy doesn't resist, so Nelly fantasizes about the dummy in front of her making corresponding moves, its weapon colliding with her own blade, parrying, attacking, and counterattacking.

She fantasized and fantasized.

Then, at some point, it was no longer a dummy standing in front of her, but her father, Ogden.

Ogden Lester says:

"I'm not your father. ”

Nelly muttered:

"Shapeshifter ......"

Ogden says:

"Yes, but you know, I've got everything from him, I'm pretty much alone with him, and I've inherited his swordsmanship. ”

"Ogden" laughed:

"What you saw when you were a child, your father's swordsmanship, he was able to escape from Wharton with Rebecca when he was young, it was because of his life's skills, and of course I can't copy his swordsmanship, after all, I'm only a part of you, although it's the part you yourself might hate.

"What I bring is your respect and fear.

"To you, your father's swordsmanship is such a magical thing that can make the hooligans of the town respectful, can easily deal with the beasts of the forest, and can make everyone who hates him smile.

"He's your first hero. ”

"And I, I am your nightmare, I took your father away from your life forever, I am the destroyer of your life, and my hands are stained with blood that you can only see in a trance.

"I'm the fear that makes you cry in your dreams.

"And when we become one.

"It's the devil you can't defeat. ”

Nelly couldn't understand:

"Aren't you me? What the hell are you trying to do?"

The shapeshifter sneered:

"Are you still pretending to be strong? My child, are you still going to ignore what you really think, or are you even able to deceive yourself?"

Nelly narrowed her eyes:

"I'm not your child. ”

Ogden smiled:

"That's right, that's what it feels like, come here, kill me, like Hewen told you, last time, you couldn't do anything, and now I'm here again, and the opportunity is just around the corner. ”

Nelly flipped her sword:

"No, not revenge, but I will overcome you. ”

Ogden sighed:

"What an awkward person. ”

nelly says:

"You may not be right, even if you are my defense mechanism, the human brain is the product of countless years of evolution, and it itself only replaces genes for survival and reproduction, but it is not perfect in itself, and you can be wrong. ”

Ogden says:

"Maybe. ”

He pointed the tip of his sword at Nelly:

"But I will prove you wrong, and in your fear and powerlessness you will understand how ridiculous your actions are. ”

Nelly replied with a sword.

Hora looked at Nelle, who was swinging her sword into the air:

"What is Sister Nelly doing?"

Hervin says:

"She's practicing her sword, and she's talking to herself at the same time. ”

Hora is weird:

"How can a man talk to himself?"

Herwin smiled and touched Hara's head:

"You can still shapeshift? It's not surprising that Nelly can talk to herself. ”

Can't beat it.

Nelly knew she couldn't beat him.

How could she possibly overcome her own fantasies.

Every sword was blocked.

As long as the other party sped up slightly, he could barely react.

Hervin stood up:

"If you let her fight the knight now, it will only take half a minute to kill the other party.

"While this is also a prerequisite for Mortawi's Axe to make her sensitive and physically strong, her swordsmanship is better than most people, at least better than most people I've ever met, including her father.

"If Ogden hadn't settled down early, he would have reached the pinnacle of mortal manhood through swordsmanship, but unfortunately he gave up his swordsmanship when he was in his twenties, but now his children are now showing a better talent than him.

"And I think this child, most likely, will never let go of swordsmanship for the rest of her life, even if it takes a lot of time, she will stick to it. ”

Hola looked at Nelly's expression, and although she seemed to be embarrassed by the air, and several times she was in danger, there was no timidity, fear, or wavering in her eyes.

Concentrate on the illusion that doesn't exist.

Hola was curious,

If she could indeed see an illusion of a grappling with herself, even though she knew that he would most likely not be able to hurt herself, humans would instinctively fear the false threat when the blade approached her.

So what the hell is Nelly, who is sensible enough to remember that the other party can't hurt herself in the middle of the battle.

Or maybe she didn't react at all, but even if the opponent's blade could hurt herself, she wouldn't show cowardice in this situation.

Do you know that she has never really been caught in a life-and-death battle other than to stop Raven, and can she grow to this extent after only one battle?

Is there really talent in this world?

Hervin stood up.

Nelly didn't know what Herwin and Hola thought of her at this time.

Because she had to be fully focused in order to survive the onslaught in front of her.

Each sword challenges her reflexes, and if she makes a mistake, she will be defeated in front of the shapeshifters, with no chance to fight back.

But even in the face of such danger, she was not defeated.

Even though every sword carries the risk of death, there is still a chance that the block will be successful.

And whenever she has the opportunity, she can seize it and let things develop in her favor.

As for how?

It's not difficult.

Just listen to your own sword.

Ogden said impatiently:

"You don't have any hope of victory at all, why do you hold on, when your physical strength is low, when you lose, you are just wasting your time now.

"Drag on and on, that's what you've been doing. ”

Nelly replied in her heart:

"No, it's not, I'm not procrastinating.

"I'm just trying my best until the last minute, and if I just see the possibility of failure and just give up, I'm going to lose a lot of things. ”

Ogden says:

"Unreasonable. ”

Then he turned and walked out of the mansion.

Herwin had come to Nelly's side:

"Very good, maybe it won't be long before you become a qualified swordsman.

"Now let's take the exam.

"It just so happens that I think there's something that's perfect for you to see your thoughts.

"There's a guy named Marlene who is following Hora. ”
