The clear sky and sunshine that lasted for most of the day made it much warmer even though there was still snow on the ground.

It's spring now, and even if it's snowing, the mouth and nose won't be numb from the cold, and any moisture will condense on the scarf.

The belated hot soup is still made with simple seasonings, which are the most commonly eaten soy products, and even if you are close to the lake, it is a bit too underestimated to catch fish and try it immediately.

There is life in the mountains and lakes, and as long as there is water, there will always be various creatures settling in the lake over time.

Geological evolution and animal migration occur on unimaginable time scales, and as Dr. Xingyong, whose duty is to study the nature of heaven and earth, living beings, geography, and astrological phenomena, Aya has more than 4,000 years of knowledge accumulated in the Land of the Moon, so her knowledge of this aspect is far beyond that of most of the other people in the team.

When Leyva, a stunned young coffee who looked like an oversized curious baby, couldn't help but sigh at how she could see a school of fish cruising in the distance at such a high place, Aya, who was one of the very few female doctors in Shinkyo Tiankaku Academy, had been ignored and had no chance to publish her research results, opened her own conversation, and then she was out of control.

I don't know how long ago the mountain lake was formed, and with the natural erosion of wind, rain and water, even if you can't see the river channel on the surface, there may be a dark river that connects to the sea with nine twists and eighteen bends inside.

There is also a similar species of the trout Rigar, which cruises in the distance, and is pronounced "Salmo" in Lamanite, which means "to rise". The name comes from the fact that these fish will stubbornly swim up the river and run to calm mountain lakes to spawn and reproduce during their lives.

This parade of life is incredible, as it is located in the interior of Crescent Island. No matter how long and narrow the continent is, it is still a continent, and it is extremely far from the sea, not to mention the various bends of the river. If we consider it in terms of human beings themselves, how the ancestors of these trout discovered these lakes in the first place is a fascinating but exciting topic.

Imagine a long journey, even crossing a difficult waterfall. Swimming forward and swimming in the river where no light can shine into it, I finally found such a calm and vibrant paradise.

The guide, the original pioneer, is long gone, and has disappeared in the long river of history, and even the memory has not been left. But the road they paved and the memories passed down have been passed down from generation to generation, and these fish still continue this life's parade for generations.

Isn't this like the fire of civilization that is gradually spreading around the world through the dots of human beings?

As the Lamangu people said, interest is the best teacher, and people at the top of a field tend to be interested and enthusiastic about it at an early age.

When talking about the career she is interested in and passionate about, Miss Doctor reveals such brilliance. Her whole face was radiant, and for a moment she was stunned, and her movements to record what Aya told stopped and just looked at her in a daze, as if she was even more dazzling than today's sun.

"What, what. Sensing the silence and staring at the other party, and feeling more or less ashamed of her unstoppable gesture when she opened the conversation, Miss Doctor said as she turned her head and ran her fingers around her blue hair.

"Ahh

"Pick it up. "But the youthful atmosphere of the young man was mercilessly disturbed by our Mr. Sage, who threw a long stick, and Galeva was so scrambled to pick it up that the notebook almost fell to the ground, and in his hurry to catch it, he accidentally knocked it on his own head.

"Whoa-" The white-haired girl standing behind Henry made a disgusted voice, while Kaleva, who covered her forehead, inhaled the cold air and endured the pain, and the Miss Doctor behind sighed softly.

"What am I going to do with this?" Galeva put away her precious notepad, looked left and right, and finally handed it to Ayato for safekeeping.

"Come along. Without further ado, Henry tilted his neck and motioned for him to walk to the open space in front of the group's tent.

Aya behind "......." glanced at the notepad in her hand, thought for a while, and finally couldn't hold back her curiosity.

"Oh, Lord Heng is itching again?" Old Joe, who was wiping his armor, saw the three of them coming, and when he saw the long stick in Galeva's hand, he immediately realized what they wanted to do, so he said, "Wait a minute, let me have a good time." ”

"I've had enough of teaching this guy a lesson. Mira glanced blankly and spoke mercilessly.

"That, did I do something wrong again?" The stunned Qing, who was nearly one meter nine tall and very sturdy, grabbed the wooden stick and spoke like a wronged little girl, and the Luoan girl, who felt that this guy's understanding was really hopelessly low, rolled her eyes for the second time: "I said I wanted to teach you a lesson, but I didn't really want to teach you, why are you so stupid." ”

"Ah, yes. Huh?" The young man, who was still looking dumbfounded, clearly still didn't know what they were going to do, and not only Mira, but also some of the other onlookers next to him sighed again.

"If this physique were so good to me, it's so useless to look like this. The little young master Yajiro, who was standing in front of his tent with his arms crossed, muttered quietly, and Narumi glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"That's it, when I faced that mountain ghost, that big thing. Didn't you stand up in front of Lulu and the others? Mira shrugged her shoulders in Henry's do, and the latter raised an eyebrow at the sign of this—and she continued, "I heard them say that their courage is commendable." But you don't know how to fight at all, do you want to wait for the enemy to kill you, and finally let them go when you're tired?"

"Woo evil. Being criticized mercilessly, Galeva felt a cramp in her stomach and her expression became bitter.

"So, even if you don't want to be a vase in the future, it's best to practice twice. The Luo'an girl, who finally answered the question, crossed her waist and said this with a radiant look, and the reaction was stunned: "Ah!" and then "Wow!".

He understood his movements so well that Sakura next to him was trembling with laughter, and Aya, who looked at Kaleva's journal written in Lamani, took the time to glance at it, and also laughed out loud.

"Ahh

And the "wow!" in the back means "wow, are you going to teach me this!".

It's easy to understand, it's very easy to understand—but Mira rolls her eyes for the third time.

"First of all, it's not what you think. She spoke, but considering the foundation of Kaleva and the fact that Miss Roan was not a sage, she pondered how to make the stunned young understand, and arranged her language to cause Mira to fall into a small silence.

"It's more straightforward to rehearse with practice than with words. Henry noticed his disciple's predicament and whispered to wake her up.

"Ahh She said this without any politeness.

"......" Yajiro, who crossed his arms, frowned, and he didn't like Mira's condescending gaze because he was quite concerned about his height - but he still turned his head: "Give this guy a hand." He said this to his subordinates.

"Hmm. The girl stretched out her hand, and in an instant, Narumi, Okami, and Yajiro all noticed the traces of honing on her slender and white palms.

"......." The three swordsmen were silent.

In the Lunar Country, where men are overwhelmingly dominant, the existence of female samurai and the like is considered heretical. Women's already disadvantaged physicality meant that they had to face far more difficulties than men - yes, they knew that Mira was a disciple of Henry, and even the previous fight with the bandits was said to have played an important role.

But the sage is too dazzling.

Habitual thinking can easily make these people despise this young and lively girl, thinking that she is just a foil.

But is that the case?

"Pop-" "Whew-huh-" "Hmm-" held it with one hand, and then skillfully and naturally lowered his center of gravity, and turned his wrist to rotate the wooden knife while moving his footsteps.

It seems to be just an ordinary warm-up or a cool move, but they are experts who know the way.

The moving footsteps are to check the ground situation, while the rotating weapon is to check the attack distance and weight and center of gravity.

Even the best craftsmen will have a slight difference in the quality of the weapons they make. Most of the time, these gaps can be ignored, but in the case of a large distinction between weapon types, if you directly and blindly follow the experience you already have, there will be errors in prediction.

"Hmm. After basically confirming the weight and center of gravity, the girl pointed her left foot on the tip of her front foot against Kaleva, and her right foot stretched out at an angle, straightened her waist and pressed her center of gravity slightly, and then leaned the wooden knife on her right shoulder.

"Nanban's starting style. "It's very skillful. Narumi and Okami discussed, while Yajiro was silent.

"I'll attack first, and you try to defend. Mira said this to Kaleva, and the stunned green nodded several times, and then grabbed the middle of the stick.

"Length is the advantage of Gal Ava, and so is the equipment, but—" The samurai leader judged, and at the same time Mira kept moving closer to the stunned green.

"Smack-" unpretentious stride plus slash.

"Ahh

"Whoa—" Despite his strength, the stunned Qing who was hit at once couldn't help but get down on one knee with an unsteady foot, and Mira, who turned around, put a wooden knife on the back of his neck.

"Qiang, you're dead. He spoke mercilessly.

"Nice moves. Old Joe next to him bluntly spoke in appreciation, and Galeva, whose entire forehead was covered with sweat, raised her face to look at Mira uncomfortably and confusedly.

"You still don't understand anything. And the Luo An girl slapped her forehead and was speechless: "I thought I had at least talked about it before and experienced it...... Is it really like this, is it really like this? ”

"I can't do it anymore, teacher, tell him about it. The white-haired girl, who gave up hastily, shifted the blame to the sage on the side, and Henry shrugged his shoulders and spoke to Galeva, who was still unclear about the situation:

"What were you thinking just now?" the sage said straightforwardly, and the young man was stunned for a moment: "What are you thinking.......?"

"It's just, Mira said she was going to fight, so I just, block. "I couldn't prevent the attack of the Luo An girl, but I was stunned and obviously didn't notice what my problem was.

"Is there anything wrong with parrying?" Seeing that the samurai around him all sighed, and Mira's expression of hatred on her face became even heavier, and she was further confused.

"There's nothing wrong with the idea, but what are you holding in your hand?" only Henry remained calm.

"Sticks. ”

"What's that in Mira's hand?"

"It's a stick, ah, a knife?"

"Can I hit this guy, teacher?"

"Calm down. The sage said in a calm tone, "The stick in your hand is a simulated spear." ”

"What advantages does it have over wooden knives?"

"The attack range is longer. Before Galleva could reply, he held up a finger and said:

"It's not surprising that your first instinct is to block an attack. Because you're with us, you've heard and seen, and that's how we do it. ”

"But this seemingly simple approach requires a lot of training, and it's not the preferred way to deal with every weapon. ”

"The spear is much longer than the sword, so it will be more sluggish in the application of moves at short distances. ”

"After you block her attack, she can quickly change her gestures, but you can't keep up with the reaction. Not only is there a lack of training, but the weapons themselves are not suitable for this approach - long weapons are slow at close range, and short weapons are fast at close range, which is a very simple truth. Henry, as always, explained in an easy-to-understand way, and even a stunned young man like Galeva understood it.

In other words, the moment you choose to block with your spear, you're using your weaknesses to face the enemy's strengths. ”

"Then I, should I?" Kaleva, who had roughly understood, nodded, and asked subconsciously.

"Use your strengths. Henry's tone was steady and forceful: "The arms are flat-ended, held in the back third, and naturally hang in front of you. ”

"Hold the point of the gun against your opponent, hold the gun steadily, spread your legs, don't stand still, and keep moving. ”

"As soon as your opponent tries to impact from the side, you twist your body towards that side, forever keeping the weapon in your hand pressuring your opponent. ”

He spoke, and the stunned green who got back up began to take a clumsy but serious posture with his spear in his hand according to the sage's words.

"It's ok. So you try to do that, and then-"

"I'll come. Yajiro, who was watching the battle, suddenly spoke coldly, and Kaleva watched this little young master who had beaten him before come out, and cold sweat immediately oozed from his forehead.

"Hmm. Henry nodded, and Yajiro, who had taken the wooden knife, stood across from Kaleva.

"Excuse me. ”

"Yes......"
