As someone kept searching for treasures in the ruins, time passed slowly, and in a flash it was October 1st, which was the day when schools from all over the country officially signed up to participate in the Aldevon County Classical Combat Skills Autumn Campus Competition.
The five regular members and five substitute members of the Martial Arts Club team were officially registered by the school to represent Wei Lun Public High School in the competition.
This weekend, on the 4th and 5th, Rhine City will hold a municipal audition, and the top three in the competition will represent the city in the provincial competition.
The competition system is somewhat similar to that in the King of Fighters game. As a whole, a five-person team will be eliminated if they all lose.
Such rules can not only arrange the tactics of counterfeiting, but also can focus on a strong person and assist him to overturn the whole game by himself.
Of course, in martial arts competitions, things like injuries and poor condition are unavoidable. Therefore, before the competition personnel officially take the field, the team leader can replace the regular players with substitute players, but the total number of five people on the field is fixed.
.
In order to cheer for its own team, Wei Lun High School not only put up many promotional slogans in the school, but also asked the teacher to arrange for students to go to the stadium to cheer for their own team.
Ordinary students are not forced to go, but students from the martial arts club must be present unless there are special circumstances. After all, this is a principled issue related to the collective sense of honor.
"Ewen, I will definitely try my best to cheer you up when the time comes!"
While Aurora was talking, she took out two inflatable sticks for refueling from somewhere and knocked them energetically.
"If you prepare so early, you will definitely be out of breath by then!"
Ming Qianhui resisted the urge to complain about taking away her stupid sister's ears. She kept saying silently, "I am a dignified lady" and "I am not as knowledgeable as a fool." She took a deep breath secretly, and then sent her blessings to Alvin with a gentle look on her face.
"Evan, you must work hard!"
"Thank you."
Ai Wen nodded, and then looked at Xue Li with a little doubt.
By the way, did she just say "come on?"
Facing someone's puzzled gaze, Xue Li almost buried her face in her white rabbit.
The reason why she is so shy today is entirely because of senior sister Qian Wei.
Recalling the scene last night when her senior sister suddenly "asked" her if she liked Alvin, she just wanted to hide her face and run away.
Fortunately, the group of people quickly walked from the classroom to the martial arts club. After saying goodbye to each other and leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she obviously relaxed too early. The next second, four arms suddenly hugged her from both sides and sandwiched her in the middle.
"Xueli, you don't seem to be feeling right lately!"
"Let me guess, is it related to Alvin?"
Without the boys around, Qianhui finally took off her disguise, and together with Aurora, surrounded Xueli with a wicked smile, and then began the "torture".
They are not stupid.
The two girls still remember why they followed Xue Li to the martial arts club in the first place!
After such a long period of observation, I have already understood the thoughts of Xue Li, a simple little deer.
You actually wanted to betray our trio and become a couple in your first year of high school. I can't spare you anything today!
The three beautiful girls instantly made a fuss, causing a group of boys to look sideways and some girls who were jealous of Xue Li's appearance to bite their teeth.
However, Alvin no longer has this luck. He is continuing to learn how to deal with enemies using different weapons.
After familiarizing himself with all common weapons, he began to focus on confrontations with long sticks, long knives and double swords.
Because apart from Rhine City, where the long sword is the mainstream, the mainstream weapon schools in other cities in Aldevon County, excluding the long sword, are mainly popular in these three types, and each has a corresponding strong team.
Wei Lun Public High School, which was not necessarily able to break out of the siege in this city in previous years, would naturally not focus on enemies in other cities, but this year is different.
With Alvin as a trump card, Huo Sen, the instructor, is now full of confidence.
Not to mention the city's qualifying quota, even in the finals, he is confident of reaching the top eight, or even competing for the top four!
Well, by the way, Wei Lun Public High School has ever participated in provincial classical combat skills competitions, and its best result is eighth place...
"Remember, since the double sword is swung with one hand, its power must be inferior to that of the two-handed weapon. Therefore, it is generally more focused on technique, using the strange sword skills of the double sword to confuse the opponent, and then suddenly launch a fatal attack."
Ivan used his training sword to resist the rapid attack of his teacher's short straight sword with two hands, while carefully understanding the other party's explanation.
It has to be said that the dual-sword style does have many more changes than a single soldier, but its strength shortcomings mean that this weapon can basically only deal with unarmored or lightly armored targets.
Once the enemy is wearing heavy armor, even with a terrifying power like Ivan, it will be difficult to pierce the enemy with one hand with a short knife.
In addition to the current double short straight swords, the double sword style is said to include double scimitars, one long and one short, and the extremely rare double long sword style. However, in the United States, these types are too rare, or simply do not exist.
On the contrary, it is more popular in the countries in the area on the opposite side of the planet.
However, in the arena, the disadvantage of not being able to cope with heavy armor is not very obvious. In many cases, it even has certain special advantages due to the rules of scoring points.
"When facing two swords, don't be fooled by the blades. Pay attention to my hands..."
While explaining the key points, Huo Sen nodded with satisfaction.
It has to be said that Alvin is the most talented student he has encountered since his teaching career.
His innate strength and agility are only one aspect. His understanding is also very strong. No matter what kind of weapon it is, this young man can initially master it at an extremely fast speed.
When faced with attacks from different weapons, he can quickly grasp the key points of counterattack.
Calm, steady, good at seizing opportunities, and has great talent.
This is why it is a pity that he was born in modern times. If he were born in the era of cold weapons, people like him would definitely become legendary warriors, generals or commanders, leaving a heavy mark in history.
"Okay, that's it for today. I won't arrange confrontation training tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll recharge my batteries and wait for the weekend game."
"Good teacher"
Ai Wen nodded, and then suddenly said:
"By the way, teacher, can I take a day off tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Huo Sen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and finally said.
"If you have something to do, you can take a day off tomorrow, but as the competition is approaching, you must pay attention to safety and don't injure yourself!"
At this critical juncture, if an ordinary player wants to take time off to go out, Huosen can twist the opponent's head off.
But for someone with such a genius, he thought about it and finally decided to be more tolerant.
After all, Ivan is usually steady in his work, has good academic performance, and is a standard three-good student. He should not be like other careless bastards who slip up at critical moments.
But even so, he couldn't help but ask in the end.
"Can you tell the teacher what you have going on tomorrow?"
Ai Wen thought about it and felt that there was nothing he couldn't say, so he said frankly:
"I have been studying in a certain gym recently. As the competition is approaching, the gym owner specifically asked me to go back early, maybe to guide me."
From the perspective of people on earth, this situation is definitely a slap in the face of Huo Sen, the instructor.
But because of the special martial arts culture in this world, it has become a very common thing.
After all, the school club is just a kind of general education. In order to strengthen their skills, it is normal for students to have special martial arts teachers after class.
It can even be said that students with some ability have basically signed up for martial arts classes outside and practiced since childhood.
So Huo Sen didn't have any special ideas, he just reminded him again to pay attention to safety.
