Chapter 18: Training in Martial Arts
"You're kidding me......"
Alain was about to retort.
But when he looked at Lindsay in front of him and realized that this was still a child, and if he wanted to call him a teenager, he was afraid that it would be two years later.
The rebuke to his lips changed like this:
"Well, your name is Lindsay, right?"
"When you first learn combat skills, it's easy for a while to think you've learned what you've learned. But in fact, the cultivation of combat skills takes time and effort, and the details need to be carefully adjusted. ”
Hearing Alain's answer, Lindsay also understood.
Early in the morning, he followed the red moon to learn the language, and he was familiar with the learning process of using the [experience bar], and now he subconsciously brought the habit here.
For ordinary people, or for most of the awakened.
It's hard to imagine this way of learning.
- He made a mistake.
Lindsay hurriedly added:
"Mr. Alain, I don't think I'm a genius who can learn everything, I just want to ask if there's anything else to learn today."
Hearing Lindsay's explanation, Alain breathed a sigh of relief first.
After all, it is easier to teach a child who can admit his mistakes than a stubborn donkey with a stubborn mouth.
Alain smiled with satisfaction:
"So—you practice what you've memorized, and I'll show you the problem now."
“……”
Lindsey began to struggle.
Because of the careful teaching of An Rui at the level of the Ascender, coupled with the practice just now.
He had already successfully entered the [Basic Sword Technique] and [Basic Body Technique] into the attribute panel, and he had also raised the former to the [Beginner] level.
In the face of the Red Moon, Lindsay can show her specialness without reservation.
But if it's someone else, it's better to be careful.
With a decision in mind, Lindsay took a stand and began to demonstrate what she had just learned.
He tries to get his posture right.
However, the articulation between each pose shows the state of a true beginner.
“……”
A few minutes later, the silent side was Alain's turn.
He felt like he was under a lot of pressure.
The young man in front of him, although he has flaws in his posture skills, is definitely a big cut beyond ordinary beginners! But in the connection of actions, Lindsay is extremely clumsy.
If this phenomenon is encountered in other people.
Arlando will probably guess that the other party is playing tricks and hiding clumsiness from himself.
However, Lindsey ......
When this kid was practicing just now, Alain saw the whole process with his own eyes. That move was a complete novice, without the slightest hint of a fake show.
But how did this turn of effort become what it is now?
"I ...... You...... Hmmm......"
Alain was completely confused.
He raised his hand, made no movement, and put it down again.
He opened his mouth, unfinished without a single sentence, and closed it again.
After pondering for a while, Alain figured it out.
What does he care about what state Lindsay is doing?
As long as you point out the actual problems of the other person, you can fulfill your responsibilities as a mentor.
Those inexplicable things, let your own lord ponder it!
Alain had a clear idea, picked up his short knife, and immediately made a gesture that Lindsay had done.
"In this move, the center of gravity of your body should be a little bit higher, so that the power of the attack is driven by the body, which will make it more difficult for the enemy to resist."
"And this, this is a blocking position, people's joints are very fragile, and the wrist must be careful......"
Alain began to guide in earnest.
Lindsey followed suit, and the [Experience Bar] grew faster than he practiced on his own.
Wait until noon.
Although the temperature was very low in winter, he was still tired and sweaty.
And the result of studying so hard is that the experience bar of [Basic Knife Technique] has risen to one-tenth. Even if there is no guidance afterwards, Lindsay is practicing on her own, and she is sure that she will progress again within a week.
"Alright, let's rest first."
Alan on the side looked as usual.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he called off the training and took Lindsay back to the manor.
In the manor, the maid had already prepared the meal.
The lord's lunch is not rich, but because of the training of martial arts, there is more meat than ordinary people.
Lindsay followed Alain to get bread and a bowl of thick vegetable broth.
They did not stay in the main building of the manor, but went straight to the clearing of the woods outside, and ate by the fallen beech tree.
"Brother Alain, you are also following the path of the war school, right?"
At lunch, Lindsay and Alain talked.
After the two got acquainted, he also changed from Mr. Alan to Big Brother Alan for this Anrui apprentice.
Alain, who was soaking bread in the broth, nodded:
"Well, I completed my first skill sublimation seven years ago, and I was officially accepted as an apprentice by Master Anrui."
Lindsey cautiously asked:
"I'm a little curious, what does it feel like to sublimate your skills?"
"By the way, can I ask about this?"
Alain looked at Lindsay, and an indescribable feeling of nostalgia welled up in his heart.
Ten years ago, when he first became the Awoken, he was just as curious about the world as Lindsay.
"There's nothing you can't ask."
"I don't know what else to do, but after joining the School of War, I have been learning the essence of combat from my teacher. It wasn't until the basic skills were honed and the essentia began to be combined with the combat technique that the characteristics of [Superior Strike] were naturally sublimated. ”
As he explained, Alain raised his palm.
He aimed at the beech wood that he and Lindsay had used as a dining table, and slashed the trunk with his bare hands.
Smack-
This palm didn't seem to be serious and fluttering.
However, the bark of the tree was cut straight away against common sense, and the core of the tree left a mark on the inside.
Lindsay carefully touched it.
The surface of the beech tree looks like it has been cut by a blunt axe.
Up close, you can feel the traces of essentia on the trunk with your fingertips.
At this time, Alain sighed:
"It's a pity that my comprehension is very poor, and I have awakened for 10 years, and I have only completed the second sublimation until now, and I don't know when I will be able to go further."
"If I could, I'd love to go to Nark Bondek."
Alain's sigh was full of longing, and Lindsay couldn't help but ask:
"Nark Bondek?"
Alain nodded vigorously:
"That's right, Nark Bonddeck."
"It was the stronghold of the school of war, and the whole world was proud of the city's name."
"By the way, Lady Anrui is from there. I heard that the defenders of the city, the warriors of the fighting nature, or the raging thugs, all the big names on the road of war can be found there! ”
"If I could have seen it there, maybe it wouldn't have been the same......"
Alain's mind drifted away.
He is in his early twenties, and he is only one step away from his third skill sublimation.
Although it cannot be compared with those rare geniuses.
However, if you can broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge, you may not have a great future!
Seeing Alain's expression, Lindsay stopped asking with interest.
He began to concentrate on the lunch in front of him.
This is not just to satisfy the appetite, the cultivation of life essence lies in the bits and pieces of daily life.
But at this moment, an anxious footstep approached from the side of the manor.
A girl's voice with a crying voice sounded at the back door:
"Alain! This...... What's going on? ”
"How did my beech tree fall!"
