After the little interlude at noon, Ivan, who was determined to be a top student in the afternoon, continued to study hard, focusing on his history of poor grades.
There is no way, the world is completely different. The course of history is equivalent to completely re-learning. In the past two years, I could only get a rough understanding of it. In the last two exams, this subject has been the most severely deducted.
When school ended at 3:30 in the afternoon, he packed his schoolbag and headed to the martial arts club with Carl, a guy who was eager to try.
As one of the most popular large-scale clubs, the majestic Martial Arts Club occupies the entire second floor of the activity building behind the teaching building. From the outside, it looks more impressive than other clubs.
Especially the pure solid wood floor covering all the floors really shocked the two newbies.
Due to geographical reasons, the United States of Inuit has a relatively small forest area across the country, and there are relevant protective laws, so it is very difficult to obtain old trees.
The simplest principle is that things are rare and valuable. In Aiwen's opinion, a single solid wood board is extremely expensive. It is worth his food expenses for two weeks, and an entire floor...
How much does this cost!
Forcibly suppressing the urge to rob the martial arts club, Alvin and Carl first went to the front desk to register for the visit.
The beautiful senior at the front desk welcomed them very warmly, and called over another male club member who was a sophomore in high school, and took the two of them around.
Since the new semester had just started, there were still many freshmen visiting the club, so the wealthy Martial Arts Club simply bought a projector.
The projector that was set up continuously played various common sense about martial arts and some information about the club on a white wall. It was regarded as a promotional video.
Alvin and Karl looked at it carefully for a while, and indeed learned a lot of knowledge that they had not noticed before.
Rhine City, where Weilen Public High School is located, is located in Aldevon County in the United Inuit Republic. It is considered a standard place east of the river among the Inuit population.
The ever-flowing Gur River roughly divides the entire United States into three regions in the shape of a "ji", which are habitually called Hedong, Hexi and Hanoi.
The martial arts schools that are widely spread in the Hedong area mainly include the unarmed style headed by the violent bear style, the short-weapon style led by the flying falcon style and the civet style, and the long-weapon style led by the meteor style, etc.
As for the battlefield style of holding heavy weapons and equipped with shields and armors, due to various reasons, they are basically invisible to the public.
Due to regional influence, the martial arts club of Weilun Public High School currently hires special teachers from the local Hikyon-ryu.
To be more precise, it's the flying falcon-ryu gyms in the city that teach swordsmanship.
The result of this approach is that the entire school basically learns swordsmanship, and only a few girls learn some unarmed combat. It is said that this is to prevent harassment by gangsters.
Of course, this situation is not absolute.
If you really don't like this style or these types of weapons, you can still sign up for a martial arts club, and it won't even affect your participation in competitions, because the school itself has professional teachers who are familiar with most styles.
It's just that every week, the school's opportunity to spend money to hire senior instructors from the Budokan to provide style guidance is wasted.
Well, for the formation of this situation, I wouldn’t believe it if the local gym didn’t intervene and beat Ai Wen to death.
Therefore, regional protection is unavoidable in any world.
As for the Flying Falcon Style, according to the introduction in the promotional video, this is a style that emphasizes agility and body skills, is good at catching the enemy's weaknesses in battle, and pursues a one-hit kill.
The main focus of the orthodox school is the long sword, and it is said that there are also branches that use straight swords, but several dojos in this city are all long sword type.
Ivan doesn't have much idea about what weapons to learn. Whether it's a long sword, a long knife, or even a dagger, he can accept it.
After all, these are time-tested combat systems, and they are definitely better than trying to figure it out on his own.
The only problem is…
"The club fees are really not cheap. They cost one thousand a semester!"
Alvin and Karl couldn't help but complain together, making the senior who showed them around helplessly smile, and probably agreed with this.
Of course, if you really count it, this price is not expensive at all. Even with the support of special government funds, this price is actually ridiculously low.
After all, whether it is the activity clothes, training equipment, or the cost of hiring senior teachers that are distributed uniformly every semester, the prices are quite expensive, not to mention other messy daily expenses.
If you really go to an outside gym to learn combat skills, the tuition for one semester will be at least tens of thousands!
Looking at it this way, the price is undoubtedly very conscientious. Unfortunately, for a poor student like Ivan, one thousand yuan is really too painful.
You know, many clubs are completely free!
"It seems that if you really want to sign up for this club, you still have to find a way to get some money first..."
Looking at the systematic fighting skills in the promotional video with some envy, in the end the poor Ivan still carried his schoolbag and left in dejection.
"I don't have a suitable target for my part-time job at the moment. How about I just use the new map behind the portal as a warehouse to carry goods? Or use stealth and relative time to perform some street magic to make money?"
However, this kind of thing is still quite dangerous. If someone finds out about it, it will be troublesome, so Alvin is still a little hesitant.
Of course, when it comes to eating dirt, you can no longer care so much.
Walking mechanically on the road, looking at the sparse crowds on this relatively remote road, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.
As a minor with no primitive accumulation, it is really difficult to make some money in your spare time reasonably and legally...
"Wait, what is this?"
Suddenly, Alvin stopped suddenly and looked around with a frown.
To a normal person, everything seems fine.
There were no cars in sight for a long time. Instead, there were alleys and paths between buildings, and sparse crowds in front and behind...everything was no different from usual.
But from another special perspective of Ivan, a strange and ominous light blue mist began to gradually appear around me and enveloped a large area nearby.
Looking at the normal crowd of people around him, Alvin realized that it seemed that only he could see the strange mist that suddenly appeared, otherwise pedestrians would never react without any reaction.
This feeling is very amazing.
It is somewhat similar to the system light screen, a special viewing angle that does not affect the normal line of sight at all, but it feels a little different.
This made Alvin ponder in his mind whether the mist was related to the system, but no matter how he looked at it, this thing was a bit different from the system's usual style.
Before he could figure out what was going on, a pedestrian suddenly started coughing violently on the road.
The coughs that suddenly broke out came one after another, and they were full of heart-wrenching pain.
There were three more people kneeling on the ground in front of Ivan, coughing and struggling like crazy as if they were drowning!
"I'll go, is this mist poisonous?"
He was shocked when he saw this scene and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose. At this moment, his consciousness suddenly fell into a trance.
In the lost chaos, faint noises gradually emerged...
It was a weird hum that made people want to vomit, and it was like a group of tone-deaf guys playing chaotically.
In the endless overlapping dimensions, the unimaginable radiant sphere is squirming, bringing incomprehensible evil whispers.
Like the harsh chirping of insects, or the sound of limbs rubbing against each other in the shadows...
He seemed to hear countless overlapping laughter. The voice was so familiar, as if it was...himself?
The formless fear that roared out from the endless abyss opened its huge mouth, as if it wanted to swallow everything up!
boom!!!
Suddenly, some kind of hidden power in Ivan seemed to feel threatened, and suddenly boiled!
Countless tall shadows suddenly appeared in the darkness.
They are like ferocious hunters who have been provoked, holding simple weapons and letting out long roars from the wilderness!
In the countless overlapping fearless roars, Alvin's consciousness seemed to transcend time and space, and he saw the birth, development, and evolution of creatures called trolls... He also saw the fight against nature, fighting with all things, and fighting against the wind, snow and natural disasters.
Survive tenaciously...
The massive torrent gathered together and finally turned into a sharp bloody stone spear, flying out with endless fanaticism and recklessness, instantly piercing through the boundless twisted nightmare!
Click~
With the sound of tearing cloth, all the illusions were instantly shattered like glass.
"Uh~"
Ivan took a deep breath as if he had suddenly woken up, and then rolled over without hesitation and hid behind the trash can next to him.
"There is actually a mental attack? I almost got it!"
He thought with lingering fear, and then he carefully looked at the crowd of people standing around him, and at the moment he opened his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the mutating... "monsters"!
A monster indeed.
Although judging from their positions, these guys are the same three people who coughed violently before, but their current appearance cannot be equated with the concept of "people" at all.
Their originally colorful eyes all turned into a piercing scarlet red, and the corners of their mouths were split all the way to their cheeks, forming a super scary bloody mouth, and their teeth even became sharp.
On his back, there were rows of bone spurs that broke through the flesh and blood, tearing through the restraints of his clothes with traces of blood.
The arms were also twisted and deformed during the stretching. As the black mud-like substance gushed out from the skin of the forearms, it hardened rapidly and soon turned into two twisted black sickles.
Just like a hell mantis that gives people nightmares for a lifetime just by looking at it!
No matter from which angle you look at it, these guys have transformed from humans into terrifying mutant monsters!
Poof!
Suddenly, with the sound of flesh and blood tearing and blood gushing out, a woman with a still dull face and a charming face was chewed off half of her neck by a mutated monster!
The strange thing is that the woman did not make any sound until she died.
There was even a weird smile on his face, which was simply creepy.
Just like a signal, the two remaining mutated monsters in Ivan's sight also began to attack the non-mutated ordinary people around him. Three people were killed in an instant, especially there were some students wearing school uniforms inside!
"Damn it!"
Seeing the little girl wearing a primary school uniform not far away, lying in a pool of blood, Ivan suddenly felt unprecedented anger filling his mind.
However, the angrier he became, the calmer his thinking became than ever before.
Unarmed and without armor, it is obviously difficult to resist these bloodthirsty monsters.
So he once again dodged and hid in a nearby alley, called up the system light screen, and found the only affordable equipment among a bunch of potions that could not be used or withdrawn in the [Mysterious Treasure Room].
[Human Infantry Armor (can be realized)]: Alliance's standard infantry armor.
Price: 1000 gold coins
Without any time to hesitate, as the thousand gold coins disappeared, a set of armor suddenly appeared in the equipment column, and then the appearance of little Ivan changed into that of a human infantryman, as if he had been put on a layer of game skin.
The skin-changing of the game character is just a trivial incidental. The real key is that Ivan has a method in his mind on how to realize this equipment into reality, which makes him certain.
The plan works!
After confirming this, Ivan threw his schoolbag into the abandoned house of [Dilapidated Village Map], and then silently recited "Embodiment", and a thick Western full-body armor suddenly covered his whole body.
Helmet, shoulder pads, wrist guards, gloves...
Countless matching parts come together to instantly cover the entire human body tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
He tapped his gloved hand on his chest, making a dull metallic sound.
Real* tin cans are online!
After being armed, he appeared in the main world again and glanced at the monsters outside, before using his legs to rush out.
The body that kept accelerating was like a running bull, slamming into a mutated monster that was eating the corpse!
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the monster was immediately knocked away!
Although the armor is light and weightless when worn on Ivan's body, the finger-thick steel shows real solidity and thickness after touching the enemy.
The steel shoulder pads are more like an alternative armor-piercing awl, directly smashing large pieces of the monster's bones and flesh from the side!
The unlucky monster rolled several meters away and struggled for a long time without getting up. It was very likely that it injured its spine.
One blow destroyed a monster's ability to move. Alvin, who had already planned it, grabbed the baseball bag from a sluggish passerby next to him and took out a bat from it.
The obviously very ordinary wooden bat seemed to be coated with a layer of metallic luster in Alvin's hand, and then was rounded and hit hard on the mutated monster that fell to the ground!
This is the effect brought about by the attack attribute blessing of [Attack Claw]!
The huge kinetic energy gained from the powerful strength and speed, combined with the heavy weapons and attack blessings, can instantly blast the monster's twisted head like a watermelon!
In a daze, Ivan saw a group of sticky bubbles burst suddenly from the fallen headless corpse, and then a line of writing appeared in the lower left corner of the system light screen:
【Gold Coin 31】
Alvin: Huh? Huh?!
In reality... you can actually explode gold coins?!∑(o_o；)
But at this time, a small amount of gold coins meant nothing at all, so he quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and pounced on another mutant monster.
This monster was eating a poor girl. After noticing Alvin's approach, he dropped the "food" in his hand and slashed at her with his mutated arms like knives.
To be honest, Alvin's fighting skills were all developed by himself when he was in the orphanage. They are really not that good, maybe not even as good as the gangsters who often fight on the street.
However, with his excellent agility and some inexplicable fighting instinct, he successfully dodged the monster's rapid slash on the left forelimb.
Then he swung the baseball bat and struck it hard with the blade that turned into the monster's right hand.
when!
The weapons on both sides were not made of steel, but they made the sound of gold and iron when they collided.
I have to say that 12 points of power is quite powerful.
With the veins on his head bursting, Alvin held the baseball bat with both hands, roared and pressed down with all his strength. He actually suppressed the newly mutated monster with the help of the impact force and the weight of the armor!
After that, he suddenly opened his mutated forelimbs, took advantage of the moment when the door was wide open, swung the bat and hit the mutant monster's head hard!
Snap!
There was a muffled sound, and the head, whose original appearance could not be seen at all, was suddenly deformed hugely by the reinforced baseball, and a large piece of the skull was probably broken.
Such horrific injuries immediately severely damaged the mutated monster.
It roared and scratched wildly, violently but completely losing its mind, and it did not attack the enemy who retreated in time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aiwen took a deep breath, rounded the weapon in his hand, and was about to deliver a final blow to the target.
But at the moment when he was about to swing, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and subconsciously forced himself to dodge to the side.
Accompanied by the harsh sound of metal friction, a black scythe almost scraped the metal on the back and fell hard, leaving a scratch diagonally across the entire back on the originally brand-new armor!
"The third monster!"
Dodging the attack, Ivan quickly glanced at the third monster who was obviously going to continue to pursue him, and simply fell to the ground. Then a badly out of shape "Rabbit Climbing the Eagle" directly kicked the monster that rushed towards him.
go out!
To be honest, Alvin himself was surprised at how he did it.
But as he fought, he felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, filling his whole body with a primitive desire to hunt.
Even...want to chop off the enemy's head for dinner!
"Am I being stimulated into a mental illness? Or...a troll?"
Although Aiwen was surprised, he didn't have time to think about it. After deftly resolving the crisis, he was so calm that he didn't hesitate at all. He stood up and directly swung the stick, and he was still facing the air wildly.
The captured monster will be headshotted directly.
【Gold Coin 35】
As the gold coins came into his account, at least near him, there was only one monster left that had just climbed up from the ground.
Moreover, this monster's condition is obviously a bit embarrassing.
Although Alvin's "Rabbit Climbing the Eagle" is not standard, its lethality is real.
It was kicked hard on the chest by steel boots. There was a huge footprint in the center of the tattered white shirt on its body, and the entire chest was dented, at least several ribs were broken.
This kind of injury, which is enough to make ordinary people fall to the ground and wait for death, is not enough to kill this mutated monster, but it has obviously seriously affected its ability to move.
So Ivan took the initiative this time, grabbed an unknown schoolbag from the ground and threw it directly, causing the monster to hide subconsciously.
And Aiwen took the opportunity to charge suddenly, turning sideways and slamming into the monster's arms!
The previous sneak attack has clearly proved that the mutant scythe forelimbs of the monsters cannot break through the thick [human infantry armor], at least they can never be cut with one blow.
In this case, Aiwen is obviously invincible.
Letting the monster leave two new scratches on his armor, he was like a bull, using his shoulder pads to push against the monster until he hit the concrete wall of the building next to him!
Boom!
Under the terrible impact, the entire wall shook slightly, and the monster's chest instantly became bloody and bloody under the too fierce impact.
Smelling the bloody smell that hit his face, Ivan's eyes turned slightly red and roared extremely violently. He suddenly threw away his weapon and reached out to grab the monster's mutated head and give it a hard blow!
Click!
With a crisp sound, the monster's cervical spine was suddenly twisted, and the monster itself began to twitch and struggle crazily.
Seeing that the prompt had not yet appeared, Alvin said nothing, directly picked up the small stone pier used to block the parking space from the road next to it, and smashed the stone pier that seemed to be instantly coated with a layer of metallic luster to the monster's head!
Once, twice...
It wasn't until the monster's head completely turned into a puddle of mud that the prompt someone had been waiting for finally appeared.
【Gold Coin 34】
"it's over…"
He looked down at the completely silent monster, and then looked at himself who was covered in filth and had his armor painted scarlet...
Ivan raised his head and looked around at the still sluggish crowd, as well as the strange fog that was rapidly dissipating. He was silent for two seconds, raised his legs and quickly walked towards the small alley where he first rushed out.
After a completely seamless transformation, Ivan, without a drop of blood on his body, reappeared in the deserted alley carrying his schoolbag.
After that, he blended into the dull crowd without hesitation, and gradually relaxed his eyes...
