Chapter 044: Basic Fighting Spirit

Ryan and a group of others led by the teacher to the dormitory area.

What a bungalow!

Rows of bungalows are side by side, and at a glance, there are dozens of rows. There are dozens of small rooms in each row side by side. The small single rooms are a bit small, and Ryan looks at them and estimates that the area of each room is only more than ten square meters at most.

This is the dormitory where students live, and each person lives in a small single room.

In the single room, there was nothing but a bed, a table, a chair, and a small room for washing.

After reading this, many freshmen were very dissatisfied and complained. At this time, the leading teacher duly proposed that the college had a better dormitory, but it would cost a few more gold coins. This immediately caught the attention of some of the new students who were in high spirits, and they strongly demanded to live in a better dormitory.

Ryan didn't complain, he was already very satisfied with such a small single room. Compared to the previous life, when several people were crammed into a small room, such a small single room is already considered a paradise.

After a commotion, Ryan was assigned to a small private room.

Ryan stepped into the small single room and found that the space inside was actually quite large, a single bed, which only took up about one-fifth of the space, plus tables and chairs, and the remaining spare space, Ryan felt that it was not too small. Inside the small single room is a small room similar to a bathroom, with a wooden window on the side.

It is estimated that the small single room has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is covered with a thick layer of dust all around. However, this did not dampen Ryan's affection for it, and he opened the window to let in fresh air, and wiped it left and right with a rag. Half a day later, the small single room was renovated, making Ryan feel that he finally had a place of his own.

Then, seeing that it was not yet dark, Ryan ran back to the hotel, and after checking out, moved all his belongings.

In this way, Ryan settled down.

Ryan lay on the erect bed and breathed a sigh of relief, enjoying the comfort of the moment. Although the bed board is stiff, and the bones behind it are a little painful, the feeling of this nest is very warm.

…………

Ryan woke up early in the morning.

Last night, as usual, I waited until dawn to fall asleep. The space in the dormitory is still a bit small, and last night's routine workout could only be to do some simple physical exercises. For example, a big move like a sword stick move can't be performed in such a narrow range. Ryan is reluctant to exercise outside the dormitory, because that would be too ostentatious, just imagine, if there is a person who does not sleep in the middle of the night, but exercises swordsmanship, isn't it very eye-catching? Will it be considered abnormal by others?

After Ryan washed up, he stepped out the door and went to the cafeteria where the leader of the team had breakfast.

Along the way, Ryan saw several freshmen who also got up early, and Ryan smiled and nodded to them in greeting.

"It's better to be more integrated into the world and not be too lonely." Ryan said to himself.

Soon, Ryan was about to start his first class.

From the introduction of the teacher who led the team yesterday, Ryan learned that all the students in the academy are divided into six grades, and the first year is naturally a freshman, and a freshman who is not a fighting spirit or a swordsman is not. The second grade corresponds to a level 1 swordsman, the third grade is a level 2 swordsman, and so on, and the sixth grade corresponds to a level 5 swordsman.

According to the academy's regulations, as long as you can reach level 6 swordsman, then you can graduate from Parr Comprehensive Academy. In fact, although the total number of students in the six grades of the entire academy combined was two or three thousand, there were very few students who could actually reach level 6 swordsmen and graduate from the sixth year. Many more students either died unexpectedly during the trial, dropped out because they had not been promoted for a long time, or were dismissed from the academy.

The learning environment of the college is very relaxed, and students are never forced to study, even if they do not go to the classroom all year round, no one will say anything. However, the academy has a hard and fast rule: first-year freshmen who cannot cultivate their fighting spirit within one year will be dismissed by the academy; Students in grades 2 to 6 who do not make the cut within three years will also be dismissed.

This rule forces students to study their own. Of course, there is no shortage of passable people in the academy, and there are not a few of them.

From the course arrangement he heard yesterday, Ryan knew that the first grade generally has swordsmanship teaching, fighting spirit teaching, strength training, and pair training training.

Ryan's first class today was sword skills, and Ryan came to listen to the class with a strong curiosity and infinite desire.

The classroom for sword skills is not a classroom with tables and chairs, but in a large and large house. Ryan looked out from the outside, and the house was bigger than the Mercenary Arena in Kata City, but it was only one floor. Walking into the house, Ryan immediately found that the room was divided into dozens of rooms by earthen walls, the area of each room was not very large, but it was not small, Ryan estimated, at least one or two hundred square meters, such a room, one is enough for forty or fifty freshmen of the epee department to practice together.

The room was empty, not even tables and chairs, except for a few weapon racks against the wall, on which hundreds of heavy swords of different weights were placed.

Students and teachers are standing in class.

There are two teachers in their thirties who are in charge of teaching the sword skills training, and under the teacher's instructions, all the students go to the weapon rack to choose a heavy sword that suits them, and Ryan only then found out that all the heavy swords here are blunt, and obviously the academy is afraid that there will be accidents when using sharp heavy swords.

Now it's time to teach.

However, half a day later, Ryan was disappointed. Not only Ryan, but many other freshmen were disappointed as well.

Because the first-grade sword skills teaching class teaches the basic movements of sword skills. What are the basic movements of swordsmanship? It is to teach the new students how to draw the sword, cut the sword, stab the sword and other basic movements.

After the teacher chooses a few movements, demonstrates them several times, and explains the main points in detail, he begins to let the new students practice on their own, and then the teacher corrects them one by one.

At this time, many students began to complain, some refused to practice, some were perfunctory, and even one or two students left directly.

The two teachers who taught the training didn't care about the reactions of these people, they just stood aside, and when they saw someone practicing, they looked at it a few more times, and if there was something wrong with the action, they went over to guide them for two sentences.

Ryan thinks that such a course is very good for a complete novice. But for freshmen who have some experience, especially those who already know some swordsmanship, it is a kind of torture.

Ryan also wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was really bad to leave in the middle of class, and it was disrespectful to the teacher, so it was better to wait until the end of class before leaving.

Next, Ryan, who had nothing to do, began to practice these basic movements of sword skills according to the method taught by the teacher.

Gradually, Ryan found that these basic movements seemed to be completely useless, but after practicing a few more times, he still felt that the sword skills he had learned were of some help.

At this point, Ryan became the most diligent person among all the students, attracting the others to keep looking at him.

Those people couldn't help but wonder, these people can do what everyone can do, can't they? Why are you still practicing so diligently?

After half a day, the course ended, but Rui Yian decided that if there was no new knowledge to teach, such a sword skills teaching class, he planned not to come to class again, and the basic movements of sword skills, he could find a place to practice by himself, but the effect was better, and even in his own narrow dormitory room, he could barely practice.

Next, Ryan's course is to teach vindictiveness.

This is a course that Ryan has been looking forward to for a long time, and it can be said that the reason why Ryan entered the academy to study is to learn vindictiveness.

To Ryan's surprise, the Douqi class was also held in a large room similar to the sword skills class, but this room was a little smaller. Again, the room was empty, except for dozens of blankets on the floor, which were about enough to seat a person, each in four rows about a meter apart.

As soon as Ryan entered the room, he found that there was already a middle-aged man in his forties standing inside, thinking that this was the teacher of Douqi Teaching.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the Dou Qi teacher said loudly to the students: "Ladies and gentlemen, please pick a blanket and sit down cross-legged, and I will start teaching Dou Qi later." ”

Everyone was very excited, hurriedly picked out a blanket for each of them, and sat down cross-legged as the teacher said. Ryan was no exception, and quickly found a blanket next to him to sit down.

After sitting down, Ryan found that all the students in the epee department had arrived, and the students who wanted to enter the academy had the same purpose, that is, to learn fighting spirit.
