While Gordon was recuperating, the instructor had been thinking about one thing.
It's time for the little guy to change his weapons.
The katana sword was not suitable for Gordon. The instructor had known this for a long time. Why did he insist that Gordon use the katana sword as a training weapon?
It's just because before a novice hunter has completed training and grown up, the blade-hand sword is the most convenient weapon to save his life! ——That lightweight buckler is so useful.
In fact, there are more than ten types of hunter weapons with a mature system.
Let’s not talk about light and heavy crossbows and hunting bows for now. On the one hand, it’s because he doesn’t know how to use them at all and can’t teach them. On the other hand, Gordon has long said that he is not interested in long-range weapons. Close combat is a man’s romance.
And melee weapons.
Single-handed swords, double swords, and tachi tend to be agile, requiring hunters to launch attacks on monsters quickly and accurately.
Spears and blunderbusses are steady and defensive, and often require the cooperation of teammates.
The big sword and giant hammer are powerful and heavy, and one blow determines the outcome.
Hunting flute, forget it... That kid is tone-deaf and has absolutely no musical talent.
As for the insect stick and chopping ax that were developed in the past two years, as well as the shield ax that is still in the testing process and the technology is not yet fully mature, they are obviously not suitable for novices.
What is Gordon's greatest strength? Without a doubt, power.
The instructor never doubted this.
Whose children use millstones to exercise when they are teenagers? He has met Gordon anyway, and the innate power placed in him is not a rhetorical device, but a fact.
Picking up a hundred kilograms of huge tusks and smashing the big wild boar king to death, is this what an ordinary boy can do?
Coupled with Gordon's burly physique, which is over 180 centimeters and is still developing, in theory, the most suitable weapon for him should be one of the four weapons: a big sword, a giant hammer, a spear, and a blunderbuss.
Because they are all heavy weapons that require "strength" to exert their power.
Which one to choose in the end depends on Gordon's own thoughts.
When the instructor found Gordon, the latter was doing restorative training.
The instructor has always been very satisfied with Gordon's efforts. A lazy guy with no talent has no future. Only hard work can make a person reach the top.
"Gordon, first of all, congratulations again. You have successfully passed the assessment mission and are now a real hunter."
Hearing this, Gordon was excited and ready to speak, but the instructor waved his hand to stop him.
"You should have noticed it yourself. The katana sword is not suitable for you. It cannot perfectly take advantage of your physique and strength."
Hearing this, Gordon nodded blankly.
He cherished his hunter's knife very much. Even the fragments that broke when he fought against the Big Boar King were carefully collected and kept as souvenirs.
But during the battle, he did feel the awkward feeling of not being able to use his strength.
"Based on my experience, the four heavy weapons, spear, blunderbuss, big sword, and giant hammer, are the most suitable for you and can better take advantage of your strength.
Of course, this is just my personal judgment.
The choice of suitable weapons will directly affect your entire hunter career, and the final decision can only be made by yourself. "
The instructor's face was serious, which made Gordon become serious.
"Instructor Ernest, I have also considered this issue, but I have never been exposed to weapons other than the katana sword, so I can't judge?"
Hearing this, the instructor hugged his chest and nodded, "Follow me, let's go to the training ground."
The so-called training ground is just an open space with a few thick wooden stakes, located in the back hill not far from the village.
As the only trainee hunter in Kokot Village, oh, a former trainee hunter, having such a place for training is luxury enough.
There are various weapons placed on the weapon racks in the training ground.
These are training tools made of thick iron. They are not even sharpened. They really have no advantages other than being sturdy and durable.
On the way here, after listening to the instructor's detailed introduction and analysis, Gordon targeted four weapons.
Tai Sword, Double Sword, Great Sword, Giant Hammer.
He had already eliminated the long spears and blunderbuss that should have been more suitable. The steady and steady fighting style like a tortoise was not in line with his style.
He prefers to take the initiative and attack.
Gordon first picked up the two knives, waved them wildly a few times, almost cutting his own head, and then put them down.
This is not just a matter of proficiency. The use of double swords requires very high coordination and flexibility. As the core of its moves, "Ranbu" can cut dozens or even dozens of swords in a short period of time.
This was an almost impossible task for Gordon, who had his hands behind his back and could not even touch his vest.
exclude!
He picked up the sword again.
This tall and slender weapon was not heavy, but it had a special sense of power when wielded. It was swift and sharp yet agile, and he was very interested in it.
At least, it feels much more comfortable than the katana sword, so I’ll give it a try as an alternative for the time being.
The third sample I tried was a giant hammer.
To be honest, he didn't really like the shape of the giant hammer and always thought it was a bit silly, but he had a special fondness for this weapon.
The source of this good impression is simple - the weapon that instructor Ernest is good at is a giant hammer.
He swung it, smashed it, then grabbed the handle of the hammer with his feet as the axis, spun it around a few times like a whirlwind, and finally put it back on the weapon rack.
How should I put it? It feels very powerful, but it is not very smooth to use. The feel is worse than that of a tachi. If he had to choose between the two, he would choose the former.
The last thing I tried was the big sword.
The first time he picked up the sword, he subconsciously raised it with both hands.
This heavy and solid feeling reminded him of that huge fang.
This weapon is slightly shorter than the tachi, but many times thicker and much heavier. For others, this extra weight may become a burden.
But for him, this weight made him feel at ease.
Without a teacher, he took a half-step forward with his left foot, placed the sword on his right shoulder, pressed his body weight back, and made a "carrying" motion.
When he maintained this posture, an indescribable force condensed and accumulated in his body until he could no longer vomit or feel unhappy.
"Drink!"
He stepped out with his right foot, and the heavy sword on his shoulder was driven by the power and slashed down with an aura that cut everything, cutting the wooden weapon in front of him to pieces.
"Uh, I'm sorry, instructor... I will be responsible for repairing it!" Gordon didn't know why he broke the weapon rack, but the instructor's expression didn't seem angry at all.
Instead, is there a hint of excitement mixed with relief on his face?
"It's okay." The instructor smiled and waved his hand, "Do you want to try Tai Sword again?"
"No, just a big sword!" Gordon grinned. He liked the heavy feel and the aura of cutting everything.
I always feel that after holding a big sword, it will be very awkward for him to hold other weapons.
"What about that, instructor, can you lend me this big sword temporarily?"
Gordon shamelessly requested: "You also know that my hunter's knife is damaged and I have no other weapons for the time being..."
"No!" The instructor immediately became serious.
“As a hunter, there are several principles that cannot be broken.
One of them is that the hunter's weapons and armor must be made from materials obtained by the hunter himself. The act of giving away and lending weapons and materials is strictly prohibited! "
