The sword hall is not just a group of children, Al is just one of them.
Every three years, the sword hall will introduce those of Tang family's age. This group of them has only been in the sword hall for three months. These three months are only used to lay the foundation. After the ten-day holiday, they will be waiting for their generals.
There will be more rigorous training.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Al.
But as playmates of the same age, some people naturally want to come to Al to show off their achievements.
"Al, do you know what we have learned since you left?" Brenda said to Al.
Al glanced at him, and then closed the "Encyclopedia of Basic Magic". All the records in this book are some basic magic patterns.
In his spare time, Al never forgets to memorize the magic lines in the book and recite the magic spells. Moreover, the magic lines in the book are not divided into elemental attributes, so he is willing to spend time to memorize the contents in the book.
Faced with Brenda's showing off, Al said to him directly: "How do I know this? If you want to tell me, just tell me."
Brenda saw that Al had no intention of guessing at all, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to explain what Al had missed.
"A month ago, a clan brother from the sword hall specifically demonstrated to us the power of swordsmen. He split such a big stone in half with a single strike from a long distance."
While Brenda was talking, her hands were still tracing the size of the rocks.
After hearing what he said, Al felt a little regretful, but only a little. If it happened again, he might choose to do it again.
After all, since he cannot meditate, it is a waste of time to carry it around in the sword hall. He might as well use this time to learn magic.
The most important thing is that he was beaten the most in the previous month.
After all, he was the only one among those in the same group with him who could not enter the meditative state at all.
The teachers of the sword hall only thought that he did not want to stay in the sword hall anymore. After all, there are almost no people in this world who cannot enter the meditative state.
Although Al regretted a little after hearing Brenda's words, he also understood that in this situation, even regrets were useless.
After all, the sword hall only gave the Tang family's children one chance, and Al's chance had already been used.
Brenda continued: "You know, one of the clan brothers said that he just became a swordsman, he doesn't even have a rank, and there are even intermediate swordsmen in the sword hall."
For people at their level, mid-level swordsmen are also elusive.
It has to be said that Brenda's plan to come here was achieved, and his words really made Al hungry.
At this time, Brenda seemed to feel something and said: "Oh, now is the time to practice swordsmanship. I will practice hard and strive to become a swordsman as soon as possible."
Then he said to Al: "Goodbye, future Forbidden Magician!"
Watching Brenda's leaving back, Al clenched his fists and waved them randomly in the air.
"Ahhhh."
"Master, what's wrong with you?" A maid saw that Al was fooling around, and she hurriedly stepped forward and asked in concern.
Facing the maid's question, Al was embarrassed to say that he was jealous of his little friend, so he said firmly: "Nothing happened."
Although Al tried his best to conceal it, the expression on his face did not look like he was okay at all, but the maid did not dare to ask further questions.
So after receiving Al's answer, she nodded and retreated.
When Al was alone in the courtyard, he continued to open the "Encyclopedia of Basic Magic", but after what he had experienced before, he had no intention of reading.
After flipping through it boredly, he closed the book, then stood up and said, "I want to see what they have learned."
After that, Al went to find Brand, another friend who was also in the sword hall.
"Brand, what did you learn in the sword hall?" Al asked him.
Brand and Al have the best relationship, which is why Al came back to look for Brand.
Brand said: "In the past two months, we have been doing the same as before you left, practicing swordsmanship and meditating on time, but I already have some feelings. I feel that becoming a swordsman is a certainty."
Al said with some sadness: "I see, but everyone's talents are different. Maybe in the end you will find that you are not suitable for the path of swordsman."
Brand said: "Maybe, but you have to try every road. If it doesn't work, then look at other options."
When Al saw Brand saying this, he couldn't help but continue to dampen his friend's enthusiasm for learning.
So he said to him: "That's it, then you should practice hard and strive to become a swordsman as soon as possible."
"must!"
…
Friends of the same age as me are all studying in the sword hall, and even during the holidays, they did not relax.
On the contrary, I have to work harder than when I was in the sword hall.
Al originally wanted to play with them. After all, at his age, he should do things that children should do.
But after they came out this time, they seemed to have grown up overnight, or in other words, they had distanced themselves from him, which made Al a little at a loss.
But children are very forgetful. The next day, they continued their practice as usual.
After Jerry had been secretly observing Al for such a long time, he finally discovered that Al was unable to meditate.
"It shouldn't be. As long as humans can meditate, why can't he? Could it be related to his mother's bloodline?" Jerry thought to himself.
The information obtained through secret observation was extremely limited, so Jerry decided to ask Al in person.
"Al, I see you can't enter the meditative state. Do you know why?" Jerry asked Al bluntly.
At this moment, Al was memorizing the magic circle. When he heard Al's question, he was shocked and even forgot the several magic circles he had memorized before.
Although Al hasn't answered himself yet, the change in his face has already explained the reason.
Jerry thought to himself: "Sure enough, he can't meditate."
But Jerry still didn't give up. He said to Al: "Now you can continue to try to see if you can meditate in front of me."
"Father, I..." Al originally wanted to quibble, no, explain.
But Jerry ordered without emotion: "Meditation!"
With Jerry's tough attitude, Al didn't dare to have any resistance.
So he sat on the stone platform nearby and meditated, but as soon as he relaxed his mind, his breathing became longer and longer.
Jerry realized it immediately when he saw this, he had already fallen asleep.
"Sure enough, it's a child that falls asleep so easily." Jerry thought to himself.
But he did not forget why he came, so he specially woke up Al.
"Wake up!" When Jerry said, he reached out and pushed Al.
Al rubbed his eyes after waking up, but he immediately remembered that it was not the time to yawn. He quickly said to Jerry: "Father, this happens every time I want to meditate."
Jerry was silent in thought.
When Al saw this, it was because his father was thinking of a solution, so he stood aside quietly.
Little did he know that what Jerry was thinking at this moment was: "Sure enough, he inherited his mother's bloodline, but I don't know which bloodline has been activated or not."
"Well, it seems I want to experiment."
"Father, have you thought of a way?" Al saw Jerry standing there without speaking, so he couldn't help but remind him.
After Jerry heard what Al said, he said to him: "Starting from tomorrow, I will find a swordsmanship teacher to teach you swordsmanship."
"Ah! Find me another teacher." Al was a little unhappy.
Jerry said: "Stop complaining. I only want to find a swordsmanship teacher to teach you swordsmanship. As for letting you become a magician and a swordsman, I have given up. Anyway, it is not only magicians and swordsmen who can get other people."
of attention.”
"Okay, you have a good rest. I will find the swordsmanship teacher tomorrow. Don't be lazy then."
After saying this, Jerry turned around and left without giving Al any chance to resist.
Seeing Jerry's tough attitude, Al couldn't resist at all, so he had to go back to his room to rest.
Although Jerry did not inherit the title, he was still from the Earl's Palace after all. It was still very simple for him to find a few people who were proficient in swordsmanship.
But Jerry didn't exactly look for swordsmen. Among the people he invited were two swordsmen and two fighters.
The next day, Al looked at the four unfamiliar faces in front of him, and he couldn't help but turn his attention to Jerry.
Jerry said to several people: "From now on, you will teach him swordsmanship and fighting skills. You don't need to care about his identity. Your training should be as strict as possible."
A fighter said: "The young master is still young. If he is too strict, his body may not be able to bear it."
Jerry said: "Don't worry about the intensity of training. Even if it really hurts him, I can find someone to heal him."
Now that my family has said so, what else can they say? They have no choice but to follow the instructions seriously.
There are two swordsmen, one is a fast sword master, and the other is a heavy sword master. The fast sword emphasizes the world's martial arts skills of being fast and unbreakable, while the heavy sword is capable of defeating ten swords with one force.
Quick sword and heavy sword are two extremes in swordsmanship. They don't know why Jerry would look for them both at the same time.
They also specifically asked Jerry about this, and Jerry's explanation to them was: "He is still young, and I am not sure which sword technique is most suitable for him. In this case, I might as well try both."
One that suits him."
They all believed Jerry's explanation.
They prepared a bladeless iron sword for Al, which was heavy for Al and allowed him to become familiar with this conventional weapon in advance.
Al is only seven years old, so he can still lift this kind of iron sword weighing more than ten kilograms, but it's just a little difficult for him.
Leo, a fast sword swordsman, said: "It doesn't matter, this is just the beginning. You can do physical training first. As long as your physical strength improves, swinging this kind of weight will be easy for you."
The epee swordsman Gilliam also fully agrees with this. After all, the epee he practices originally focuses on physical strength.
Therefore, these two swordsmanship teachers did not hesitate to spend a lot of time training Al's physical fitness.
In addition, the other four hours belong to the two fighters.
Al originally thought that they would teach him some gorgeous fighting moves, but he was wrong. The two fighters did not teach him every move. They asked Al to stand on a wooden stake and recite human acupuncture points.
Al was extremely puzzled by the instructions given by the two fighters: "Aren't fighters supposed to be shouting like that?"
While speaking, he also made gestures with his fists and feet in the air.
Faced with Al's question, one of the fighters, Rosen, said: "Fighters are not as simple as you think. These are all very necessary. This will help you understand what method can be used to make people unconscious in the shortest time.
"
Another fighter, Galloway, added: "You have to learn not only the acupuncture point diagrams, but also the bone diagrams, and then I will tell you how to separate the muscles and bones."
After hearing the words of these two fighters, Al felt that the image of fighters using gorgeous moves to hit their enemies collapsed in his eyes.
But he did not make any act of resistance. After all, these four teachers were personally recruited by Jerry. If any of them reported to his father, a severe punishment would be waiting for him.
lesson.
Al may be a little uncomfortable at first, but getting used to it is often an extremely scary thing.
In less than ten days, he had become accustomed to this kind of life.
And as his physical fitness gradually increased, the intensity of his training also gradually increased. Jerry even bought a few demon dolls, allowing him to use the acupuncture points of the giant demon dolls on wooden stakes.
And he had just recited the acupuncture points. How could it be so simple to use them in practice?
What's more, this guy is two meters tall, and Al's height is just over half of him.
This height difference meant that Al could only touch his lower body and chest once, while they were still training on the wooden stakes.
In the past, Al was just walking on wooden poles, but now he had to fight a demon on the wooden poles. For Al, this suddenly escalated to a hellish level of difficulty.
When he jumped close to the puppet, the puppet just waved his hand, causing Al to sway and fall down.
The wooden stake was set at a height of one meter above the ground. This height was nothing to Al, but he was pushed by the golem, so that his shoulders were directly mounted on the wooden stake on the side.
"Click!" Al heard a clear sound, followed by pain.
Because of the pain, Al had forgotten to cry at this moment. He knelt on the ground, covering his shoulders with his hands and moaning silently.
Galloway ran over when Al dropped the stake, but when he ran over, Al was already kneeling on the ground.
Fortunately, the golem had been programmed with a fixed program, so it did not "last hit" on Al.
Galloway checked Al's body and then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's just a dislocation, please bear with it for a while."
Then he moved Al's shoulders directly.
"Click!" There was a sound of bones resetting on Al's shoulder.
Galloway had directly restored Al's arm, but Al, who had not shouted before, now started shouting loudly and was sweating profusely.
Galloway helped Al up and said to him: "It was your father who asked us to be strict with you, and besides, we have become very relaxed with you."
This is when Leo stepped forward and said: "Since you are injured, have a good rest today and train normally tomorrow."
Al didn't expect them to be so unkind. He was already injured, but they didn't even give him a few more days off.
The four teachers also told Jerry about Al's injury.
That night, Jerry came in with a few straws.
He said to Al: "This is a healing herb that can restore injuries. You should eat it quickly."
Looking at these herbs, Al was not happy at all. Instead, he came up with the idea of whether the man in front of him was his father?
"Eat quickly." Jerry urged Al.
Al directly asked the doubts in his heart: "Why didn't I take out the medicinal herbs when I was first injured, but why did I wait until so long before taking out the medicinal herbs?"
Facing Al's inquiry, Jerry was stunned for a moment: "Yes, why didn't I prepare the herbs early? Isn't there the possibility of injury during training?"
But after all, Jerry was different from the young Al. He coughed slightly to cover up the slightly embarrassing scene, and then said to Al seriously: "Father wants to train you. This pain is nothing to you.
It’s nothing.”
Although Al agreed with Jerry's words, he always felt that something was not quite right.
But Al still took the herb from Jerry's hand and swallowed it.
If we talk about the healing effect, of course medicine is more effective.
However, Al's recovery ability is stronger than that of ordinary people. In addition, he just suffered a dislocated bone and it has been reattached now, but he is slightly uncomfortable.
After taking a few herbs, Al felt that his mental state was much better.
Seeing that the previous embarrassing scene had disappeared, Jerry said to Al: "Don't let me down my kindness. These teachers will be of great help to your future."
Al nodded vigorously.
He is not a ignorant person. If he cannot meditate, he cannot have a career. In this case, he can only use the stupidest method to strengthen himself.
Of course, even if he becomes stronger through training, he can still only be regarded as an ordinary person when faced with swordsmen who can use sword energy and magicians who can cast various magics from a distance.
But at least he can have a certain ability to protect himself. This chapter has been completed!
