Chapter 4: The Short Sword
"Energy dropped, list my real-time physical condition data!"
Gehr subconsciously gave an order.
Suddenly, a new symbol appeared in the field of vision, which included a series of data such as heartbeat, body temperature, muscle fatigue, etc., and there was also a comparison data of normal physical condition.
Gehr examined it carefully for a while, and finally found the problem in the hunger data.
"With a hunger level of 60%, does energy still have something to do with food?"
With some thought in mind, Gehr closed the book and placed it on the desk, stood up and walked outside.
This time, Gehr did not choose the college cafeteria, nor did he choose the snack street that he passed in the morning, but turned to the rear of the college, where there was also a cafeteria. Compared with the expensive food in the cafeteria, the food provided in this canteen is much more ordinary, but compared to the snacks outside, there is no advantage in price and taste, only the advantage of proximity, so there are many fewer students who choose to come here.
Anyway, now Geer only needs simple food to do the test, and he doesn't pay attention to any taste, so the closer canteen has become the first choice.
The cafeteria is still very lively, and the number of teachers and students is also quite large, and when you go outside, you can smell the aroma of bread mixed with cream, and there is a noisy noise.
After buying a simple set meal, Gehr found that there was no separate and quiet seat in the cafeteria, so he left the cafeteria, found a woodland where no one was around, and sat on a tree stump at random and began to test it.
After eating the food, it didn't take long for the hunger level to start rising, when it increased to 80%, the energy value increased to 0.0009%, and when the hunger level returned to 100%, the energy value returned to 0.001%, and the next time, Gehr ate some more food, but no matter how long it took, the energy value still maintained this value and did not change.
"It can be determined that the energy provided by food is only the most basic point, and the upper limit is so much, only enough for the most basic operation of the biological brain, but once you start to starve, then the energy will start to decline, and you need to find other ways to improve your energy......"
Gehr shook his head a little depressedly, the road of relying on food to increase energy is completely broken, but the advantage is that he no longer has to deliberately eat himself.
......
The afternoon martial arts classes took place in one of the college's playgrounds.
The students who changed into martial arts uniforms gathered together in their own circles and were distributed on the playground to chat and play with each other.
In this strange environment full of large and small aristocrats, merchants, and elite classes, completely decoupled from ordinary people, whether it is the entire academy or the grade class, there is a fairly fixed circle division, and few people will transgress it, just like their parents usually do. People in high-level circles always look at people in low-level circles with condescending eyes.
In the third class of the second year, the top circle is composed of the top five students with the best academic performance and two students from extremely privileged families, led by Ron Yepes Antagne, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Antagne, and Shiri Handington, the member of the study committee, who dominate the class.
The second circle is a group of people who are medium in their studies or family backgrounds, which is the largest group of people in the class, united around different first circle personnel, and divided into small groups, usually relying on the first circle of people they are attached to as the backing, and some of them are close to the first circle of people who usually have a high voice among their classmates.
The third circle is for students like Gehr and Mikey, who are not outstanding in terms of family background or their own abilities, and of course some of them are trying to get closer to the second circle, which is subdivided into several small circles, and in general, the people in this circle are the lowest level of the class.
This circle is distributed in the same way as the circle distribution of the entire college.
Usually Gel, Mickey and another boy named Galle are a small circle, but when Gel arrives at the playground, Mickey pulls Galle away from Gel's location, leaving Gel to stand alone in a corner, without any intention of coming over.
A few minutes after Gehr was in this situation, some students in the playground who were close to Gehr's location noticed the situation he was facing.
The high-level circles look down on the people in the lower-level circles, and the original Gehr does not have a very good reputation in this third circle because of his personality and family background, and he usually relies on the help of Mickey and Galle to get a place.
Now I see that Gehr seems to have been abandoned by the circle he belongs to, and the high-level circle doesn't care at all, at most it is a joke that he forgets when he turns his head, and the students who are in the same level circle as Gehr see that Gehr is unlucky, and most of them are also gloating, and they won't think about pulling him at all.
It can be seen that this is Mickey's attempt to isolate Gehr in this implicit way, if according to Gehr's character in the past, in this very embarrassing situation, he will definitely not be able to control his temper, but in this kind of place where his identity has no advantage at all, he wants to regain the dominance of this small circle of three, then he will inevitably promise more superior conditions for the other two.
However, Gehr didn't feel anything about this little child's tricks, and didn't care at all, his past had already taught him with bloody facts that only his own strength was real, and everything else was false.
As a burly man strode into the playground, his oppressive momentum caused the students to immediately fall silent.
This is Andrew, the instructor teacher of the martial arts class, he is a middle-aged man with long broken blonde hair tied back his head, his arms exposed from the sleeveless shirt are thick and powerful, and a thick scar can be seen from the shoulder spreading out from under the part of the clothes, looking at his trajectory, you can imagine how tragic the injuries were at that time. Although every part of him shows how strength should be expressed, Instructor Andrew is not bulky at all, and is full of explosive power.
In Gehr's memory, from the first grade, Instructor Andrew was the martial arts instructor of the third class of the second year, and it is said that he was a strong man who had established meritorious deeds on the front line of the battlefield and received knighthoods, but because he was almost fatally injured once, he could not return to the battlefield, and was recruited by the academy as an instructor.
Instructor Andrew stood in the middle of the playground, watched the students line up in line, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Sit down!"
The students all sat on the concrete floor.
"The basic training course in freehand combat in the martial arts course has ended, if you are still interested in hand-to-hand combat, you can take the in-depth course of freehand martial arts by yourself. Instructor Andrew paused and continued: "From today, the basic training of weapons training will begin, Kamiza, Luton, you two go to my office and bring the teaching equipment. ”
"Yes, instructor!" the two tall boys stood up and ran towards the teacher's building.
"Since you have entered this school, and there is no doubt that your goal is to inherit or become a true nobleman, then you must keep one thing in mind - one hand is a coder, and the other is a sword. The Code of Law is the principle and character that you must have, and I do not need to teach you this, while the sword is that you must have the ability to maintain 'justice', and the weapons training that is about to begin is to train your fighting ability......"
With the words of the instructor, Gehr saw some pictures from his memory - although Gehr in the past was not outstanding in his memory, he was very serious about freehand skills, and he did work hard in the past year.
When all the martial arts training in the memory has passed, Gehr's vision seems to be a symbol representing the new skill, the foundation of hand-to-hand martial arts (proficiency level 13%).
But now Gehr didn't have the heart to study this new skill, he was completely distracted by something else.
The moment the instructor entered the playground, Gehr felt the energy bar in his field of vision jump abruptly, and then flicker.
He was startled, and hurriedly looked around, but he didn't find it, and then he focused his attention on the instructor, and finally determined that the source of the abnormal movement should be the position behind the instructor's waist. From Gehr's point of view, it can be vaguely seen that it should be a sword scabbard that is not long.
Just as Gehr pondered how to get his hands on the scabbard, two boys sent by Instructor Andrew to get the teaching equipment rushed back, each carrying a large bundle of wooden swords and several long boxes.
Instructor Andrew motioned for the two to put their things down and put them together, picking up a long box and opening it, revealing a thick cotton pad with a metal sword inside.
"There are many types of swords, and if you want to achieve something in swordsmanship, finding a sword that suits you is the most important thing, because it is not just an item to show your authority, nor is it a simple tool for killing, but an extension of your limbs, an inseparable part of your bloodline...... Well, you see, this is a typical Rakven short sword, the earliest era of appearance can be traced back to the era of co-governance thousands of years ago, it was the most proud weapon of the Rakwen city-state at that time, characterized by a double-edged thick ridge, and the attack method is mainly stabbing, you take this down, everyone passes it on one by one. Here's a broadblade from Lanloth......"
Gehr sat in the corner of the crowd, watching the crowd in front of him pass the sword with the box one by one to check it, and soon a classmate passed a box to Gehr.
Gehr looked at it casually and passed the box to the next classmate. Now Geer's mind was drawn to the short sword that Instructor Andrew was carrying, and he considered whether he could ask Instructor Andrew to check it out when he was free.
It may be that Gehr's strong will was accepted by the god of luck, and after passing down the last box, Instructor Andrew's face suddenly changed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Kamiza, what about a box tied with yellow strips of cloth?"
"Report to the instructor, the box was taken by Instructor Defoe. ”
"Well, I know. Instructor Andrew nodded, thought about it for a while, and then untied the short sword pinned to his waist and handed it to the closest student: "This is the last sword introduced today, the Wino short sword, the head of this sword is a special triangular pyramid, and the armor-piercing ability is very outstanding......"
Geer's eyes widened as he watched the Vino dagger come from the hands of his classmates one by one, trying to pretend to be calm.
After a few minutes, the dagger finally reached Gehr.
