The training of Rogge and Ofina was not simply about practicing martial arts and magic while standing still. Standing practice is necessary when initially mastering martial arts and magic, and can improve the understanding and proficiency of skills.
Now that they can use several skills they have mastered very proficiently, standing exercises are not suitable, they are fighting in actual combat.
Actual combat is of course not as simple as using your martial arts and me using your magic. Understanding the combat environment, controlling the timing of martial arts and magic releases, understanding the opponent, and many other factors can affect the situation of the battle. It doesn't mean that the strongest one will win.
Rogge and Ofina were on opposite sides of the training ground, about 50 meters apart. From a professional point of view, archers and magicians are evenly matched, with no one having any advantage.
"Start!" Following Ophina's shout, both Rogge and Ofina started to move.
Rogge moved sideways, first using a weak spot to see through and strengthen his control over the fighter plane. But now the distance is too far, so we can only shoot arrows while moving. At a distance of 50 meters, the accuracy of shooting with a training bow is not high. In addition, both myself and Ofina are moving, so they can only make the other party evade and consume more energy.
Ofina is rushing towards Rogge. Her magic casting distance is within 20 meters, so she must close the distance. Due to the interference of the arrow shot by Rogge, she ran in an S shape, and at the same time activated her magic power to release the second-level magic sword of light. The little bits of light turned into three lightsabers, following behind Ofina.
Rogge knew that Ofina was not an ordinary magician. Her magic casting speed was much faster than that of ordinary people. As long as she gets within 20 meters, blinding her face and attacking with the Sword of Light, there is basically no hope of winning.
So Rogge stood 35 meters away, which is the distance at which this training bow can shoot accurately. Draw the bow and nock an arrow, charge the arrow and launch it. Under the effect of seeing through weaknesses, Rogge was able to capture and predict Ofina's movement trajectory to a certain extent.
Seeing Rogge standing still and drawing his bow, Ofina immediately understood what he wanted to do. The two of them have not practiced sparring once or twice, and they are very familiar with each other.
Ofina waved her staff, and a dazzling flash of light appeared. The basic magic flash technique is best used to interfere with the archer's sight.
"It's this move again" Rogge thought. Basically, Ophina would use the flash spell to interfere with Rogge every time she sparred. The timing of casting the spell was just right, and her subsequent movements were different.
Weaknesses need to be visible. Even after several flash spells, Ofina's figure was still unable to be captured. If she stood still, she would only continue to be approached. Rogge had no choice but to shoot the charged arrow, and at the same time activate the basic martial arts sprint, concentrate his energy on his legs, and rush forward.
20 meters is Ophina's casting distance. Within this distance, only close combat can have a chance of winning. At this time, the distance between the two people immediately entered the 20-meter range, and Rogge had no choice but to rush forward.
The lottery-type charged arrow did not hit Ofina. She estimated the distance, stopped using the flash spell, and directly used the blinding spell, intending to strike first. When the light dissipated, she was not surprised to see Rogge turning his head and rushing toward her. He was trying to avoid her blinding spell.
Of course Rogge didn't dare to look at Ofina. Being hit by the blinding spell meant losing, so he could only shoot blindly with his head tilted. Ofina dodged the incoming arrow and drove the sword of light to stab Rogge. Ofina had not learned this magic for a long time and was not very familiar with it. The three lightsabers simply shot out and stabbed Rogge one after another.
I saw Rogge leaning back to dodge the first sword, leaping high with both feet to dodge the second sword, and after landing, he jumped forward to dodge the third sword. He was already 5 meters in front of Ofina. Rogge used a sliding shovel, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and launched his martial arts to shoot at close range.
At this moment, the blinding spell that Ofina had previously held in her hand was released. Rogge's eyes went white, as if he had been hit by a flash bomb. The arrow lost its accuracy and missed Ophina.
Rogge stood up and kicked out a basic martial arts kick in the direction where Ofina was last seen. At the same time, Ofina's staff lightly hit him on the head.
"Ouch!" Ophina was kicked more than two meters away. She got up with tears in her eyes and shouted at Rogge: "Brother, you kicked me so hard! Wow!!!" After all the trouble, she still stretched out her hand. I cast a blessing spell on Rogge. The blinding spell comes with a slight mental shock, which makes people have a headache and is very uncomfortable. Rogge is still shaking his head and spinning in circles.
A hint of coolness penetrated into the brain, making Rogge feel extremely comfortable and returned to normal. Seeing Ophina staring at him with her little mouth pouted, he realized that he had lost his mind and kicked hard, so he ran over to coax her: "Nana, I was wrong. It didn't hurt, did it?"
"It hurts so much. Please rub it for me."
Rogge looked at her round little butt and couldn't put his hands on it. Touching a girl's butt is not something a serious person would do. "You even hit me with your staff."
"I didn't use too much force, and my brain hurts. You kicked me away, wuwuwu."
Rogge knew that Ofina was pretending to cry, so he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly said: "I was wrong, I was wrong. I will go hunting after training in the afternoon, and I will prepare delicious food for you in the evening."
Ophina's mood turned from gloomy to sunny in an instant, and she smiled sweetly: "It's agreed, I want to eat ribs."
Ofina made this announcement just to get Rogge to say it himself. If he promised, it would be safe. Rogge would never lie to her. The girl tried her best to eat.
The final result of this sparring between Rogge and Ofina was that Ofina was kicked and flew more than 2 meters away, and Rogge was hit by a blinding spell and became dizzy. Looking at the result, Rogge actually lost. After all, Rogge couldn't see anything and was dizzy at the time, but Ofina could continue to cast magic.
"Nana is so amazing." Rogge couldn't help but sigh. Generally, light magicians tend to be auxiliary. Dispersing and healing teammates are what they are best at. In a duel, the Light Mage is also the profession most easily defeated by others. But after Ofina was promoted to an intermediate magician and learned the Sword of Light, Rogge never defeated her again.
"Of course, there is no one in the whole hospital who can beat me." Ofina said proudly. "If you learn the sprinting technique, coupled with the basic martial arts of sprinting, you will definitely be able to run very fast. My blinding technique will be difficult to use."
"That's true. Let's quickly restore our magic power and energy. We're going to the Twilight Forest in the afternoon, so we have to be well prepared."
"Okay."
Twilight Forest, the largest forest in the Nalan Empire, runs from the northwestern part of the empire to the central part of the empire, covering a vast area. The Twilight Forest is very rich in products, including logs, resins, medicinal materials, meat, etc. It is an important treasure trove of materials for the empire.
Of course, not every place in such a large forest is safe. There are a large number of monsters living in the Twilight Forest. The deeper you go into the forest, the higher the level of the monsters, and some even appear. It is rumored that there is a mad and evil-level spider-shaped monster in the middle of the forest, named Rosnia, and has a certain relationship with the Emperor Charles. Rosenia stayed in the central area and did not expand outwards, and the empire also banned people from entering the central area to explore.
Walking two kilometers south from the Garin Orphanage is the northwest edge of the Dusk Forest. Rogge often went to the edge of the forest to hunt, which not only allowed him to practice his archery skills but also obtain meat as a supplement.
The brother and sister had almost finished their replies. After having a simple lunch, they set off for the Twilight Forest.
They chose an edge location, not too far into the forest, just near a wooden house built by Rogge for the convenience of hunting.
Rogge had already read the introduction to the Speed Movement in the book, and even read it again two days ago.
The book is a primary magic book in the orphanage library, and the library is where the brother and sister met.
The library of Galin Orphanage is open to all students. They can read any book in the library at any time during the day, but they are not borrowed. There are also many types of books, such as magic books, martial arts books, monster illustrations, world geography, and even miscellaneous rumors about various places, etc. Anyway, all kinds of knowledge needed by their age group and strength can be found in the library books.
Roger was curious and studious when he was a child. After he learned to read, the library became like his second dormitory, where he spent all day reading.
One afternoon 10 years ago, Roger came to the quiet corner on the top floor of the library as usual and saw a petite figure sitting at the table reading a book. After taking a seat opposite her, I looked up and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
The warm sunlight shines through the leaves and windows on her goose-yellow hair and crystal clear face, creating a swaying golden halo. The long eyelashes trembled slightly from time to time, and the big and clear eyes looked towards Rogge, and he smiled slightly as a greeting.
"Is this a new one? So beautiful." Rogge thought to himself, and a line of nosebleed flowed from his nose. He also smiled, a bloody smile that was slightly funny.
"Why do you have a nosebleed? Are you angry?" came the clear and pleasant voice of the little girl.
Rogge was stunned for a moment, wiped his nose and took a look, then realized that he saw a nosebleed when he looked at the girl. "Ah, yes, yes."
The little girl raised her hand and put a blessing spell on him, "This blessing spell can't cure internal heat, but it can make you feel better. Drink more hot water."
"Ah? Oh... Okay..." Rogge was told by the girl to drink more hot water. He was a little embarrassed: "Well, my name is Rogge. Who is you?"
"Ofina, new here."
In the next few days, whenever Rogge went to the library, he would see Ophina in that corner. The two gradually became familiar with each other, learning magic and martial arts together, taking classes and training together.
One time, after Rogge returned from hunting, he treated Ofina to a meal. The little girl was too lazy to leave and ate at Rogge's house every day. Then he called me brother, brother, so he could act coquettishly and act cute for fun. Rogge felt very happy to be called brother by such a beautiful girl.
To this day, the two have a deep relationship, more real than real brother and sister.
"Brother, do you still remember the training method of speed walking mentioned in the book?" Ophina asked.
"Remember, I went to see it two days ago."
After speaking, seeing Ophina curl her lips, Rogge immediately understood: "But I still want to ask the great magician Nana to tell me."
Ofina smiled: "Okay, okay. Speedy Movement, a first-level wind magic, uses the power of wind to increase speed and flexibility. Simple and easy-to-use auxiliary magic is a skill that every wind magician must master. To learn the art of speed travel, I need to feel the flow of the wind, use magic power to resonate with the wind element, and let the wind work for me. With the wind accompanying me, I am naturally light and agile. Brother, would you like to try it?"
"You will die if you try it!" Rogge said confidently.
It was getting late, and no matter how good Rogge's learning talent was in an afternoon, he still wouldn't be able to learn a single first-level magic. He bumped into trees several times, and Ofina laughed at him while casting healing spells on him. The two rested for a while and prepared to check the traps and hunt.
Rogge led Ofina to the place where he set the trap, and found a lot of blood on the ground, and the prey was gone.
"There's something wrong with the amount of bleeding. It's too much. It might have been eaten directly by some creature." Rogge said.
"What kind of creature is it? I'm so angry that it stole my bunny."
As soon as Ofina finished speaking, the brother and sister looked at the woods not far away at the same time, with solemn expressions. Rogge saw the past because of the hunter's keen perception, while Ofina saw it because of the light magician's special perception of monsters.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a wolf-shaped demonic figure appeared in the dark woods. It was a real hunter active in the outer layer of the twilight forest, but now it appeared in the edge area.
"It's a sharp-toothed forest wolf, Ofina, be careful."
