Lin Chao was a little aggrieved at Bert's house.

The living conditions are much better, but I can't just go out, and I can only do a few things every day.

On Effie's direct orders, Bell, who went to the Brotherhood, pushed off the knife and told him that the bet was invalid, much to Bell's surprise.

Although the status of the Bert family is higher than that of the Brotherhood, the cooperation between the two sides is beneficial to everyone, so why do it so ruthlessly, just because Ram did not give Albert face at the banquet?

Lin Chao didn't explain, and he didn't stay in the Brotherhood for long, and Jenny in the back would report his every move, not only with the Brotherhood, but also with other parties.

The Bert family's requirement for him is to develop, and to develop at home.

On the surface, Lin Chao is very obedient, but in fact, he is waiting for an opportunity.

Becoming Effie's partner is a good identity, and he needs this identity to cover up, so he won't resist for the time being, at least not openly.

A week later, Ram, who had become a third-level mutant, came to Lin Chao to show off, but he was closed, and the reason given by the housekeeper was that the bet was invalid, and Lin Chao was not there, so he went to make up for cultural classes.

This made Ram, who broke through urgently, punch the cotton and leave sullenly.

Lin Ran is indeed tutoring cultural classes, from world history to the origin of mutants to today's city construction, the theoretical knowledge textbooks studied in the academy are all placed in his room, and he is specially assigned a tutor.

The tutor was a young girl named Elaine.

She has just become a mutant, that is, a first-level mutant, and she has been studying for a year, and she can earn a salary by tutoring Lin Lan, and it is a good job in the eyes of Elaine, who has an ordinary family background, not to mention that the object of her tutoring is the husband of Effie, an associate professor of the college, and it is clear that Effie is taking care of her.

Elaine had also heard about Effie's husband, who was said to have competed from hundreds of participants, from a very low background but full of potential.

Every night from 7 to 9 o'clock, and half a day in the afternoon on weekends, Elaine will explain to Lin Lan.

At first, she was very nervous, but after coming a few times, she found that Lin Lan was very easy-going and studious, and every time she was discussing books and real problems, which made her feel at ease.

Originally, Lin Chao called Teacher Elaine, and she called Mr. Lacie, and after getting acquainted, the two sides called each other by name.

Elaine explained the textbook to Lin Ran, and also asked Lin Ran for some precautions after the mutation, the students on weekdays are all first-level mutants, and the teacher will not respond to your questions every day, there is a second-level mutant with combat experience in front of him, just to communicate.

Her ability is a combat type, condensing the mutated energy into a knife, and the shape is the Ban Co Knife, after all, the Ban Co Knife is very famous in the territory of the original Cangqi Country.

"Lacey, today I learned a set of moves, you can help me see it. ”

Elaine was excited, and becoming a mutant and starting to master combat skills was a good start.

Since the first entry into the academy, the teacher said that each of them will go to the battlefield and use the blood of the mutant beast to prove their ability, and those who do not fight the mutant beast cannot graduate or find a job.

As a girl from an ordinary family, Elaine can only count on improving her combat effectiveness as soon as possible during this time in the academy, the academy also has various training rooms, competitions are held every month, and there are already classmates who have shown skilled combat skills and relatively strong combat effectiveness, and she can't wait to catch up.

"Good. ”

Lin Ran's mention of Elaine was easy, and the girl's senses were also good.

Elaine was cautious at Bert College, speaking quietly for the first two days, but only now she is getting better.

The classmates knew that she was very envious when she was a tutor in Bert's house, and gave her a lot of suggestions, such as using this opportunity to learn from the masters, the Bert family must have many masters, after all, it is a family founded by fifth-level mutants.

"This is called leaving no one behind. ”

Elaine said, a faint white light appeared in front of her body, and a one-meter-two knife appeared.

She held the knife in one hand, crossed her feet and forward, swinging out one knife after another, or slashing or chopping or picking or stabbing, and then arcing back after entering seven or eight meters, which is equivalent to walking back and forth, a total of 14 times.

The move itself is not surprising, when it comes to Lin Chao, it doesn't matter what move it is, what matters is your own understanding, to yourself, to your opponent, to your weapons, and to the environment.

But it was important for Elaine to master a set of moves at this moment, and it could be her support in fighting humans and mutant beasts.

"I'm not very proficient yet, so I'll practice a few more times. ”

There was no need for Lin to say, Elaine also knew her own problems, so she rehearsed five times in a row.

Lin Chao didn't speak, watching her practice this trick "leaving no one", thinking of the first time she heard this trick.

When I first arrived at Wei Nanda, I met Fan Kai and Ma Mian, and it was at Fan Kai's house that I learned two knife techniques, namely "Ghost Step Chop" and "Yin and Yang Mistake", which were the legacy of Fan Kai's grandfather, a veteran of the battlefield.

From Fan Kai's mouth, I have heard the names of moves similar to "Huangquanluo" and "No Return", which are the same series of knife techniques as "Ghost Step Chop" and "Yin and Yang Mistake".

I don't know what the current situation of Fan Kai, Ma Mian and others is, I don't know if they still survive after not seeing them for many years......

He thought that Elaine had stopped to wipe her sweat and rest, and the teacher said that every time she took out the knife, she had to mobilize the mutated energy in her body, and only in this way could she make the energy full of lethality.

When she upgraded the fire, the forty-meter broadsword was not a problem, and one knife could cut through a hundred-meter-long ravine.

"Lacey, what do you think I've mastered?"

Lin Chao didn't take it seriously, but he only needed to know what to say at a glance.

"It's not bad, it's not easy for beginners to reach your level. ”

The polite words made Elaine very happy in her heart, and she blushed and said, "It's not as good as you say, and I'm only moderately qualified among my classmates." ”

Lin Chao went to the weapon rack and took a hundred steel knives, of course there would be no steel knives for ordinary people to fight, it was an alloy knife specially used to fight mutant beasts.

He demonstrated "No Leave Behind" at an extremely slow pace, breaking down the main points of the story.

"You are optimistic, the main thing is the combination of footwork, technique and energy, whether the first knife should be used with all strength, whether the second knife is a false move, and whether the third knife is blocking or attacking...... There are hundreds or thousands of variations of a simple dozen knives, and you won't encounter the exact same environment in actual combat, and you can only master this move by enriching your skills and allowing your body to achieve complete conditioning, and this requires thousands of exercises. ”

Lin Lan's explanation was completely based on actual combat, not only demonstrating, but also tricking with Elaine, which benefited her a lot.

When the maid Jenny came to inform her, Elaine was still out of breath and didn't want to rest, and wanted to practice for a while, so that Lin Ran's face would take out the posture of a senior to teach her.

......

After listening to Jenny's report, Effie asked, "Do you think Lacey will like Elaine?"

It turned out that it was the family's arrangement to let Elaine teach Lin Chao, and Greene and Albert agreed.

Although they made Lin Chao Effie's partner and joined the Bert family, Effie herself had no interest in Lin Chao, so it was impossible for him to have intimate contact with him. I love to read Chinese

If Lin Chao has not been in contact with women, it is obviously unrealistic, one day they will train Lin Chao to become a fourth-level master, it is impossible to stiffen the relationship, if it becomes an enemy, what is the point of cultivating.

So find a girl with an innocent and simple background to replace Effie, and let Elaine also join the Bert family in the future, you can have the best of both worlds.

Of course, like cultivating forest chaos, it can't be too fast.

Jenny was not only in charge of taking care of Lin Chao's life but also in charge of monitoring, saying, "Miss, Elaine is young and energetic, in my opinion, it is very likely. ”

Effie said: "I can't be interested in a man who is weaker than me, although I send Elaine to him, but I can't make him too proud, I must let him know the measure." When they develop further, you go and remind Elaine that Lacey's side will be done by the butler. ”

"Yes, miss. ”

Jenny is not worth it for her own young lady, when Master Bert was alive, many big families came to marry, and since the master's health is not as good as day by day, those people have not mentioned this matter.

Now I can only cultivate by myself, on the one hand, I am worried about cultivating a white-eyed wolf, and on the other hand, I am worried that I can't cultivate it.

The one named Lacey was lucky enough to be Miss Effie's husband, albeit nominally. How can he be virtuous, and let the family arrange another woman for him.

Although she is full of opinions, she can only obey Effie's orders.

......

Lin Lan learned from Elaine that there were really knife techniques such as "ghost step slashing" and "yin and yang mistakes", and that Elaine could only be taught by the teacher after mastering "leaving no one".

So there was such a scene, Lin Ran was reading a book or studying weapons and equipment, Elaine was practicing swordsmanship, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

A month passed, and Elaine also felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.

As the husband of Associate Professor Effie, Elaine has never seen Effie come to Lin Lan, and when the two of them are together, most of them are Effie talking about Lin Chao, and Effie is talking like a student.

In her opinion, Lin Lan is a very good person, studious, diligent, and has a very deep understanding of knife techniques.

Since receiving Lin Chao's guidance, Elaine has stood out in the class, and the average ranking has risen to the top 10, especially in the mastery of the trick of "leaving no one", she actually won the first place once, although it was a drill.

Elaine felt that Lin Chao had more combat experience than her teacher, although her teacher had also participated in wars and was said to have killed more than ten mutant beasts.

Gradually, Elaine's favorability towards Lin Chao increased greatly, especially when she came, the two of them no longer needed to be polite, and it was enough to look at each other and smile, like old friends.

"I'm coming. ”

"Good. ”

The simple words show the casualness and relaxation between them, and Elaine enjoys the atmosphere more and more.

"The good news is that I finished second in the class in a game today. ”

Elaine's smile bloomed like a flower, an honor that had never been seen before.

Lin Lan touched his chin and looked puzzled, "I won the second place because of my teaching, where did I win the first place?"

"You're so confident, and I really want to see you compete. ”

Elaine pursed her lips and said, "He has better qualifications than me, he has been a mutant for a long time, and he uses more energy, and I fought with him for a few minutes and was defeated." ”

Lin Chao was even more puzzled, "This situation is normal, the same first-level mutant is much stronger than the mutant, when you only have this move, you have to fight, you have to use your brain to win, not fight to the death." ”

Elaine knew what he meant, but couldn't do it, and said with some coquettishness: "But what do you do to win?"

"When you make a move, you don't always go all out, there is always a time to ventilate and recharge, I call it a node. The master's strength lies in his ability to draw nodes away from him, and his opponent is overwhelmed by the rhythm of his battle. ”

Lin walked out with a random iron rod in his hand, "You knife me." ”

Elaine has mastered "No Leave Behind" quite proficiently, and can perform routines to the same extent. She summoned an energy knife and attacked like a storm.

She knew that she couldn't hurt Lin Chao no matter what, so she played to her heart's content.

However, she only swung the first knife, and Lin Chao's stick hit one-third of the blade, and Elaine was about to stride and slash, but as the blade was knocked, her body was stagnant, and the next knife lost its coherence.

She had to step back and look for the angle of attack again, and Lin Ran said, "Understood, I just hit your node, so you have to make adjustments." ”

Elaine stabbed a few more times, but they were all interrupted by Lin Chao, and she reluctantly withdrew the energy knife.

"Your speed, strength, and experience are better than mine, but I can't be better than my classmates. ”

Lin Lan said: "Then you must be stronger than others in a certain area, otherwise you can't fight." ”

Today's tutor mainly spends his time teaching Elaine to fight, which makes Elaine very unhappy, and she is studying by herself with other people's salaries.

She spoke her mind and hoped that she would not get paid in the future.

Lin laughed and said, "It's okay, Bert's family is not so stingy, and you don't have to worry about a little money." If you become a master in the future, you can easily repay this favor. ”

Elaine was embarrassed, "What if I can't make it?"

Lin Lan said: "You don't believe me, the person I teach must be a master." ”

Elaine thinks that this person is good at everything, but he is too confident, and such a person is easy to beat.

Thinking of Lin Lan's appearance of bowing his head in front of Effie and listening to the training, he became sympathetic, felt that it was his way to relieve his depression, and smiled: "Thank you so much." ”

When I left today, Elaine was a little reluctant, I actually wanted to be able to stay by Lin Chao's side all the time, and I complemented him and made progress together, he was so gentle, so confident, and a little handsome, and he seemed to be different from everyone else.

Although he is not very old, he usually seems to be extraordinarily calm, he seems to have seen strong winds and rains, and he is not in a hurry to be trapped at home by Bert's family, what a good man.

"Miss Elaine?"

Elaine's voice came from behind her, startled by her distraction, and when she looked back at Jenny, she stopped.

Jeanne approached and said, "You must know that Mr. Lessy is the husband of the young lady, and you have been invited to teach him what is taught in the academy, not to cultivate your affection. ”

Elaine's face turned red, her head was ringing, and her ears were burning hot.

"No, no, no, no, neither did he, we were just learning, nothing else happened. ”
