Chapter 2 Footprints
Every step you take, there is a shadow of the future
~~~~~~
Cui Wen walked aimlessly on Fifth Avenue, looking at the many so-called high-end shops on the side of the road, and through the large glass windows of the floor, you can see that a dazzling array of goods are elegantly waiting for the benefactor's arrival.
I've played a few tournaments in this city, and the earliest time I was 17 years old, it seems to be an invitational tournament, and I can't remember who the opponent is. But I still remember that the old man said to himself in high spirits that one day his name would ring throughout the city.
How could the name of a fencer resound in a city, it was just the wishful thinking of the old man. I remembered the sad story of the fencing teams of three European countries partnering to hire a photographer to shoot the competition. You should be lucky, because the country is very good to you.
I still remember when I opened my eyes and regained consciousness, I stood under the competition table with a heavy sword that I had never seen before, and watched the long-dreamed national team uniform on my body. This is the scene of how many times in my previous life I was envious on the screen and cried in my dreams.
The team competition in which four players participated became three due to the sudden illness of one team member. He also changed from focusing on training, and the seedlings who came to experience the atmosphere of the competition became a player who had to play. Fencing and epee men's team final. Single-elimination format, each game lasts three minutes, and five swords are played. A total of nine games, forty-five swords.
The score on the field is currently 10-4, and he is the side behind him. Now it's time for you to play, and the first player to play is still on the field.
I still remember that it was the first time I saw the old man, the old man was still very young, holding his mask in both hands, and said loudly there, don't be afraid, Xiaowen, don't be afraid. He's just an outdated sword king. Xiaowen, believe in yourself and play your skills. I, the coaching staff, all my teammates, and the country are your backing. Play your level.
When I got on the stage, I didn't even know how to stand. Holding the heavy sword in his hand is like a child holding a gun for the first time. Even if the sound of the system loading keeps ringing in my head. I stood stunned for a minute. Only then did he force himself to learn from the person opposite and put his sword up.
It hurts, and it hurts to have protective clothing. Every time the heavy sword on the opposite side hit his body, Cui Wen could feel the strength on the sword. 15 to 4, the outdated sword king on the other side is still on the stage. And he is going to step down. Wearing the national team's uniform, he walked off the stage in humiliation.
It's not because his technical level is inferior to the other party, it's because he doesn't even have the courage to use a sword.
When the old man saw Cui Wen walking off the stage, he didn't say anything, just sighed a little hatefully, and controlled his emotions to enlighten Cui Wen.
Xiaowen, don't be afraid, isn't this the same as the Olympic stage? Is it the same as the team, the same length, the same width?
It's not me who is wrong, Xiaowen, for letting you play such a major game so early. Xiaowen, take it easy, you still have a chance.
As he spoke, the old man went to help Cui Wen take off his mask.
"Coach, I want to wear it a little longer. ”
Cui Wen sat alone on the chair with a mask, looking at the heavy sword in his hand, more than seven hundred grams, a little more than a hundred centimeters. The rapier is stiff, unlike the softer fencing you see on TV. Maybe I'm watching a different kind of game.
After the system is loaded, please confirm the identity of the host.
Huh?
The voice recognition is passed, the spirit capture system is turned on, and the host is still young at this stage. Temporarily activate passive skills, dynamic vision. For the smooth growth of the host, open the swordsmanship skill. When the host is 26 years old, it will be fully functional, and the host will be aware of it.
Cui Wen didn't know if he was enchanted or if he was stabbed in the brain by the other party. A sword did hit his mask just now.
Raising his head and looking at the arena, his fast-moving footsteps, his white ghostly figure, and his strange sword angle. The opponent's first player is really strong.
15:4 , 15:5 ,16:5...... 18:9
The first member of the opposing team didn't know if he was conserving his stamina or if he was really old. His teammates finally won the game 5:3.
Cui Wen looked at the staggered figures back and forth on the competition table. The mood is also slowly relaxed. Because he understood the meaning of dynamic vision. As long as he concentrates, everything he pays attention to becomes very slow. He can see the direction in which the sword is coming and can judge the trajectory of the sword.
23:12,26:17,31:20
It's time for Cui Wen to play again. The old man came over and didn't speak, because he didn't know if he would increase Cui Wen's burden, Cui Wen's character was actually very stubborn. This kid who should understand must understand.
Cui Wen knew that swordsmanship skills must include fencing. I don't know what the system is, but it looks like it's nice to me. The epee in his hand also changed from strange to familiar, just as he had held it since birth.
Cui Wen walked onto the stage, ignoring the boos in the audience. Turning his head to look at the old man, he held a heavy sword upside down in his right hand. Struck the hilt of his sword against his heart, thumping! There was embroidered the bright red flag of the motherland.
The old man seemed to understand what Cui Wen meant. I laughed out loud with joy.

"Oh so! Mi Aneyu! oh I am sorry"
Cui Wen didn't know when he stopped, his eyes fixed on a shop, but in fact, he was just thinking about the past.
Turning around, he looked at the two girls who were upset because they had bumped into him. Both were wearing masks. The first reaction just now seemed to be Korean?HG people?
“IT is fine.donot worry”
After speaking, Cui Wen turned his head again.
The girl on the right seems to be a little apologetic, or a little dissatisfied with Cui Wen's casual perfunctory. After all, the two of them officially apologized again just now.
“I said I am Sorry,Sir.”
Cui Wen turned around again and looked at the girl who was talking, well, a pair of very special eyes. And that's all. A big mask, and another girl wore exaggerated sunglasses.
“I heard it,and I said it is fine.young lady.”
“U better call me miss. I don't know who u r.and I am 23 yrs old.”
The girl seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Cui Wen's indiscretion. What young lady? I look like a child? High school student? Do I know you very well?
"OK, whatever, miss 23.can I go now?" Cui Wen didn't expect the girl to seem to be going to him. It's not a flying nuisance.
“That is ur feet. AS U like. Sir.Plz”
The girl tilted her head to look at Cui Wen. Cui Wen took a closer look at the girl's eyes again. He smiled and walked around again.
"Oh Mo, my Pani is so good. The girl with big sunglasses next to her saw Cui Wen walking away and hugged the arm of the girl who was talking.
"Hmph~ Such a big guy, I thought it was a ghost, but I didn't expect it to be Asian, but it's really handsome!" The girl who spoke seemed to be still looking at Cui Wen's back.
"Is this still my Tiffany? Let me see, where is my good Pani?" said the girl in the sunglasses exaggeratedly.
"Where is this? Ah, buy Rika, my territory. Yuri said that I don't remember mine? This guy. I won't buy her something delicious for a while. ”
The girl in the sunglasses seemed to remember Yuri's one
With a stunned expression, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, and let out a laugh that only middle-aged aunts have. provoked the girl next to her to quickly pull her to bend over and walk forward,
"Ahh No, why is your joke so weird. Your laughter will summon Sone. I'm really afraid of you. Let's go, let's go, there are a lot of shops we haven't visited. But speaking of which, that man just now is really handsome, more handsome than your Jiang Dongyuan Oba. I'm serious. ”
"No way, no one is more handsome than my Oba. Jiang Dongyuan is the first marshal in the world. The girl in the sunglasses, although she was dragged in a hurry, expressed her opinion.
"Yes, yes, Taeyeon is right. Jiang Dongyuan is the most handsome! You wait for your Jiang Dongyuan, if God gives me a man like that just now, I will be satisfied. The girl's eyes were very good when she smiled.
"Dreaming, such a handsome man is only worthy of me in vain. You should think about your Thai prince. Have you ever confessed to someone?"
"Taeyeon, didn't you just say that you only like Kang Dong-won Oba? Besides, do I need to confess to a man? Of course not. I now declare that the Thai prince has become a spare tire. ”
"Hahahaha, spare tire! I can't stand you, really, you're so good here!" The girl in the sunglasses couldn't help but let out her trademark laugh again.
The girl next to her was afraid of being discovered, and looked at the appearance of the girl in sunglasses, so she had to pull her into a nearby store.
"Excuse me, how can I help?"
Hmm, the girl who smiled and looked around, how could it be all men's supplies, suits, ties, shoes?
"Is it a gift for your boyfriend?"
The girl looked at the polite receptionist, and then at the good friend next to her, who was wearing sunglasses and waiting to see her jokes. I had to bite the bullet and say it
"yes. Buy a gift for my boyfriend. ”
"Oh, I don't know what to ask for or what to buy?"
"Buy, buy, buy, buy a pair of socks! Yes, buy socks. Yes, no, I'm going somewhere else. ”
After the girl finished speaking, she went to take her friend's hand.
"Socks, socks, these underwear are on the second floor. Please come with me. Please go this way. ”
After speaking, the receptionist turned around and stretched out his hand. The girl looked at her friend who was holding back her laughter and had to pull her arm. Went up to the second floor as instructed by the receptionist.

Fifth Avenue Central Park
"Hahahaha, buy a gift for your boyfriend, buy socks. You're really there, silly T, I'm going to take a little notebook and write it down. The girl in the sunglasses sat on a bench with a sandwich and started laughing again as she remembered what had just happened.
"Just laugh, it's not because of you. It's infuriating. Such expensive socks, I have never worn such expensive socks. Alas!"
The girl who smiled and looked good returned to her old little appearance, which made the girl wearing sunglasses even more unbearable. The uncontrollable laughter and occasional sheep cries attract the attention of passers-by. So the little angry bag girl's head was buried even lower.
