In the battle room, Valk, who had finished his training, was re-adapting to his body, and the person opposite him who was instructing the training was N holding an unopened steel sword.
N is a senior teacher in Blade Sequence 6. He was once the core operator of a large firm. After getting married, in order to take care of his family, he resigned from his previous more dangerous job and was recruited by Edes Academy.
During the sparring, Valk's movements were not fast at first, as if he was warming up. As he became more familiar with his body's condition, his momentum gradually increased.
"drink!"
After using his fist briefly to block the sword strike, he used his strong thigh to kick the teacher in front of him fiercely, sucking out the air briefly and making an explosion.
The strong force made N take a few steps back after being hit, before he could stand still.
"Not bad." N nodded slightly, praised it, and then pointed out its shortcomings.
"You are doing very well in terms of burst and power, but if you face an opponent with high speed and sharp weapons, you will suffer a lot with this fighting method."
"Overall, there is a lack of diverse offensive methods to deal with many situations."
"Starting tomorrow, I will come to teach you firearms, and there will be several first-year students training with you." After the explanation, the two ended today's training.
Is there anyone else training together? Hearing this, Valk was silently curious. Although he was not a proud person, he had met many first-year classmates. Most of them were children from rich families and were pampered. Few of them focused on fighting. Most of them are in other aspects, such as technical research, financial business, or art.
After returning to his residence, he ate the nutrition package customized by the academy, took a shower, and was about to go to sleep after meditating for a while, when someone rang the doorbell.
Walking over and opening the door, Valk saw a familiar figure who was slightly fatter, wearing a brown suit jacket and an old hat on his head.
"Teacher Xima." He was a little surprised that this teacher came to visit so late.
"Go in and talk." This man was familiar with Valk. They didn't chat outside the door. They went directly into the house and sat down in the living room.
Taking off her hat, Sima looked at Valk carefully before speaking slowly: "How is your recovery now?"
"Very good. It's almost the same as before. At least I can't feel any difference." Valk replied.
"That's good, that's good." Sima put her hands on her knees, twisting and clenching them unconsciously, and then relaxed again.
Seeing Valk's confusion, he didn't explain too much, but talked about other things.
"It was my negligence before, but after this incident, I think you and I should both learn a lesson. If the academy hadn't invited someone this time, the sequelae of your injury may not be eliminated for the rest of your life."
"Yes, teacher." Valk also lowered his head. He had also panicked while lying on the hospital bed, fearing that he would collapse in the future.
In the past, he could not be afraid of anything, because if he lived to adulthood, he would have fulfilled his childhood wish. But it doesn't work now. If he falls, the funds to support the orphanage may be gone, and Pastor Boyce will also face many embarrassing dilemmas. He doesn't want this to happen.
"Just understand. Regarding your friend, I will let you communicate with the police station. I promise you that I will try my best to save his life, but for other things, I hope you will not continue to ask or interfere. Do you get me?"
"I...I know." Valk sighed. Now he is not strong enough, and he is indeed not qualified to ask Teacher Sima.
"Just understand. If the other party contacts you again, just transfer it to me and I will help you handle it."
"You have done enough for him. If he still regards you as a friend, he shouldn't put you in danger again and again."
"Hmm..." Valk replied silently.
"I know you had deep feelings in the past, but now is not the time to be emotional. You will have to bear a lot of things in the future. You can't be as impulsive as you were in the past, otherwise..." He wanted to say something, but he still swallowed it. He continued, because as a tutor, he knew that education should not be taught in such a way of intimidation and threats, which was also prohibited by Edes Academy.
"...Otherwise, I will be very sad." Sima sighed. Although he did not threaten Valk, his tired look made Valk even more uncomfortable and ashamed.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Sima, for causing you a lot of trouble."
"It's good to understand, but I don't want you to stay depressed because of this." Sima shook his head, he didn't want the atmosphere to be so heavy.
After finishing speaking, he stood up, looked around the living room, then found the water dispenser, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then asked Valk to get a cup for himself.
After slowly taking a sip of tea, Sima leaned back on the sofa with her eyes half-closed, her expression relaxed, and Valk opposite her also felt a little more relaxed.
"You have to start new training tomorrow, right?" Sima suddenly asked another question.
"Yes, it's related to firearms."
"Well, these things would not be taught so early, but now it seems that they will be taught earlier."
"There are other people in the same grade who were trained in the same batch, and among them..." He paused for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something.
"There is a girl named Tilan among them. You can try to get in touch with her and establish a good relationship with her."
"This is?"
"It's not convenient for me to say the reasons. Just take it as my personal advice. You don't have to be too deliberate. Just be nice to her."
"I will." Valk has always been very friendly to his classmates, and he didn't realize there was anything wrong with it.
Seeing that he was not enlightened, Xima also shook her head secretly and stopped explaining the complicated reasons. Things in the world are so difficult to explain. She is obviously her savior, but she can't tell him because Tilan has not yet become famous and exposed. At that time, the girl's identity was related to too many things, and he only knew a little bit about it.
"That's it for today, have a good rest and contact me in advance in the future." After saying that, Sima stood up, put on her hat again and left.
The next day, the academy underground shooting range.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three clear and standard gunshots were heard from the shooting range, and then the indoor auxiliary AI gave statistical results.
[10, 10, 10, all three times]
"Very good, Tilan, your training has been completed today." N clapped his hands and walked closer.
The girl with the soundproof headphones put down the 'Black Pearl-G2' pistol and nodded to the teacher. She was wearing a black and white casual dress today, and her legs were wrapped in dark gray pantyhose.
Also receiving training alongside Tilan were Avni, Allen, Valk, and two Sequence 4 boys.
Because it was the first day, there was not much to learn. First, we were familiar with the characteristics of various types of firearms, as well as some military common sense, etc. Everyone quickly completed the progress.
"Although pistols are less powerful, they are easier to encounter in life because they are easy to carry, easy to use, and the laws are lenient."
N picked up the 'Black Pearl-G2' pistol that Tilan had just shot, reloaded it, and then fired at the target in the distance.
"This 'Black Pearl-G2' is very suitable for novices because of its comfortable grip and built-in aiming correction." He then talked about various ammunition options, from the most common gunpowder metal bullets to enchanted inscriptions. special ammunition and so on.
"Compared to the era of cold weapons, firearms have now spread to every corner. Even extraordinary people with high strength will use firearms to cope with various scenarios."
"Convenience, speed, and efficiency are the advantages of guns, but they cannot be said to be omnipotent. In battles between high-level transcendent beings, the role of guns will become weaker and weaker."
"Why is it getting weaker and weaker, teacher." A student raised his hand.
N glanced at him and smiled, "You asked very well, I will explain to you why."
"First, the output of guns is limited. Now you are only Sequence 3 and Sequence 4. Naturally, you feel that guns are of great use, but as the sequence level increases, it will feel a bit useless. You can instantly kill low-level enemies at will. No need to Guns are fine, but powerful opponents have their own protective clothing, or exoskeleton armor, etc. It is difficult for guns to break through defenses. Even if they hit more than a dozen times, they are still not as powerful as a close-range blow."
"The second is distraction. Human energy and concentration are limited. When you use a gun, you will inevitably be distracted and develop dependence. In other combat areas, due to less training and actual combat, it will become relatively less effective. weak."
"The third is that they are too substitutable. The advantage of high-level extraordinary people is to use their extraordinary job abilities to amplify their advantages in a certain field. If you use firearms, you are giving up this advantage and becoming different from other common ones. It’s the same as the AI self-discipline unit.”
"Extraordinary abilities are an extension of one's own will, such as the use of finger arms. The higher the level, the more flexible, rapid and ever-changing it is. It is far from being able to replace the monotonous attack method of firearms."
"My advice to you is that you still need to know how to use a firearm and use it skillfully, but you should not rely too much on it. It is a useful tool, but it cannot become your reliance."
"I understand." Everyone nodded.
In the following days, the six people received training with many firearms one after another, and began to teach physical skills with firearms, as well as combat skills.
"In open areas, especially in chaotic battlefields, snipers are still the nemesis of low-level extraordinary beings. They will use special high-penetrating enchanted bullets. These bullets are expensive to make, but the effect is worthwhile. They can kill a Sequence 4 personnel. It may only take one second and enchanted bullets worth 6,000 federal coins, but it will take at least ten years to train such a person."
"During the federal civil war four hundred years ago, due to the chaos of the early stage, there were many street battles and battles to seize power in the city. At that time, no one expected that the civil war would come so quickly, which resulted in many people being caught off guard. Being assassinated and ambushed caused many outstanding people to die in frustration before the war. After the civil war began, people on both sides became cautious."
"The environment of urban combat is extremely complex. There are always unexpected situations in streets, high-rise buildings, indoor corners, etc. The risk factor of acting alone is extremely high. When soldiers perform tasks, they often cooperate in the form of tactical teams. The most basic of them is Triangular configuration, that is, one person is the main attacker, one person is the auxiliary, and one person is the guard."
"The advantage of extraordinary beings lies in their high speed and high destructive power. They can use their own abilities to flexibly find fighters and break through quickly, instead of sticking to a certain position and fighting against enemies, or fighting enemies in a small and difficult to move environment. The former has limited advantages. , the latter is easily surrounded and killed by people using powerful weapons."
"In addition, many high-level transcendent beings have the ability to change the landscape and environment. If you make good use of these, you will be invincible in urban battles. For example, four hundred years ago, the leader of the 'Red Death Sect' faction, 'The Devourer' The sinner of fire, Heslett, once turned a city inhabited by a million people into a sea of flames. The wandering beast of wildfire devoured all enemies in sight, and completely destroyed the headquarters of the 'Holy Blue Cross Sect' that supported the opposition at that time. .”
"This gave the 'Red Death Sect' a terrible reputation, and countless people were frightened by it. Of course, after the war, such brutal atrocities were also punished. The 'Red Death Sect' was not allowed to operate on the Deep River Star for a hundred years. Preaching and spreading disciples outside the territory, and Hexlet himself was also shackled for 50 years, and was not allowed to be taken off until his death."
"In addition, there is also the 'Galloping Electricity' Hadmiya who single-handedly drove a variable fighter mecha into the enemy space station, released a large amount of electromagnetic lightning to paralyze it, and prevented the conservative opposition from gathering troops. He is also a 'Hadmiya' The founder of Asia University, now a famous school in South District 1, Thunder Edge Academy is the high school affiliated with Hademia University. However, the headquarters of this university is not in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Region, but in the adjacent Thunder Mountains. Angular Star Territory.”
"The fighting methods of each level are different. In Sequence 4, you will use more firearms. In Sequence 5, you can start to try other methods. In Sequence 6, you are quite free. You need to determine yourselves according to your own style. form of fighting."
"As for Sequence 7, when you stand on the battlefield, you are a beacon for countless people, a hero surrounded by everyone, and a core trump card that changes the situation on the battlefield. You can easily destroy cities, penetrate space stations, and forcefully break through any weak defense lines."
"Come on, there are many wonderful things waiting for you in the future." Under N's words, everyone was excited, and only the black-haired girl had quiet eyes.
"Tilan." N suddenly called her name.
"Here." She took a step forward.
"The next step is combat training. You have to defeat the others within two minutes. This is your goal today. As for the others, your goal is to survive Tilan's siege for one minute and thirty seconds."
"well."
Everyone was surprised, and some of them even thought that they had heard wrong. During the past two days of training, they had gradually become familiar with this black-haired girl. Although she was good at shooting, looking at her delicate figure and personality, I don't think he looks strong at all. Furthermore, even if they are geniuses, who here is not a genius? Why are they arranged like this? Is this an insult to them? It is said that under their combination, they cannot even sustain the two-minute attack of this girl.
N had no explanation or answer for this, but just asked everyone to start preparing.
After standing on both sides of the training ground, the two sides looked at each other with unopened weapons. Of course, one of them only had a black-haired girl holding a steel sword.
"Are you really going to do this, Teacher N?" She looked to one side and asked.
"There's no need to hesitate, Tilan. It's time for you to know what your level is. Being too modest is not a good thing." N shook his head.
"Okay, now the battle begins!" He swung down the sword with his hand, swinging the air blade in the air and sweeping across the center line of the battlefield.
The two parties took action quickly. The first was Ya Lian. This talented young man from the Elf clan held an ancient wooden staff and muttered something in his mouth. Then he sprinkled a handful of seeds. Before these seeds could hit the ground, they began to grow rapidly, twisting and turning. Vines began to form on the battlefield, seeming to create a favorable environment.
On the other side, Avni frowned slightly and looked at the girl opposite her age. She stretched out her palm, and a ball of flame emerged, then quickly twisted and compressed, and then ejected fiercely. As for Valk, he used both fists After the collision, the body sank slightly, standing on the spot like an iron tower, staring at the slender girl in the distance.
Facing the opponent's various methods, the girl held the sword in one hand and drew a semicircular sword arc in front of her with a gesture of first speed and then slowness. The silver crescent blade emerged, splitting the oncoming flames instantly. The fireball that was originally going to explode dissipated quickly after splitting, leaving only a few sparks scattered. This surprised Avni. Her flame was no ordinary flame. It had its own characteristics of "flowing back into flames" and exploded. Afterwards, it will shrink and deflagrate again.
Then, facing the shots from the other two opponents, the black-haired girl quickly swam away. The sword blade seemed to be dancing in her hand. The interlaced sword marks chopped up the bullets in front of her one by one. The extraordinary job gave her The special perception ability can calculate the trajectory in advance when the opponent pulls the trigger. Unless it is a sniper outside the line of sight, it will be difficult to hit her.
After approaching the opponent's camp, what stood in front of him was Valk, who was full of punches. The momentum he had accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded, rushing towards the opponent like a bright beam of sunlight. Tilan passed by in a thrilling way and was not directly hit. hit.
After getting closer, the two of them fought rapidly within seconds. The sound of steel swords and wrist gloves colliding with each other was like firecrackers. Just when Valk felt that he was getting better, the girl suddenly passed by and went straight to the rear, performing some kind of attack. Ya Lian of the secret technique interrupted.
The silver sword blade slashed diagonally and fell on Allen's chest, making his breath suffocated and the curse interrupted. Then his neck felt cold and traces of blood spilled out. He couldn't help but stop all movements. If the other side of the battlefield didn't stop, Hand, he is dead.
Then came the two Sequence 4 geniuses. They gave up shooting with guns and drew out their swords to fight the girl in close combat. However, they were defeated in less than six seconds and squatted down while holding their painful wrists.
At this time, Avni once again used the abilities that came with her job. Flames floated beside her like fish, and her long golden hair fluttered like a burning fish.
"Mu Yan Red Carp!" Suddenly she opened her palm, and the symbols in it shrank and changed, and then the swimming fish beside her quickly shot out, turning into living golden flames and chasing Tilan on the opposite side.
In this regard, the girl changed her previous swift fighting style. She stood still and brushed the sword lightly with her fingers. Light blue and transparent flames adhered to it. These flames were very cold, not hot. The scattered sparks formed patches of frost on the ground.
After that, she struck out again, slashing rapidly in the air with her sword blade, splitting, annihilating, and dissipating the golden flame swimming fish.
After breaking through the blockade of these golden flame swimming fish, Tilan passed by Avni's side. The flaming golden fish girl only felt a chill on her forehead, and then the boiling magic power in her body cooled down instantly, and her body also shivered. She couldn't help but feel pimples, and then left the stage with her arms crossed.
At this time, only Valcke was left on the field, and one minute and ten seconds passed.
Facing this opponent, the girl rushed forward again, the sword blade and the glove collided, and then the blade fell on Valk's body, making a clanging sound.
Although he was hit, his body was as if it were made of iron, and ordinary attacks could not break through the steel-like defense.
As expected of the Light Feather Sequence, which is known for its protective properties, the girl sighed in her heart, and then a touch of blue appeared in her eyes. There were also faint marks of butterflies on the steel sword, and there was a faint hint of fragile blue on the edge.
The glove made of fine steel was easily cut open, and the originally strong defense became as thin as paper. Valk, who was shocked by the change, punched with all his strength.
"The pressure of the blazing sun!" The fist pressure, like a beam of light, directly submerged the girl in front of him, plowing a long ravine in the battle room and hitting the opposite wall with a dull loud noise. Just when he regretted whether to take action When it was too heavy, a figure on each side behind him approached instantly, the sword light pierced, and the transparent ice sword pierced Valk from the shoulder blade.
Then the ice sword shattered, and then the two figures overlapped, revealing the figure of the black-haired girl.
"The battle is over, Tilan wins." N shook his head. Even though he already had the answer in his heart, he still sighed. This girl's swordsmanship is simply not as powerful as it should be at her age. The seemingly simple steps and moves have a lot of potential. She has the shadow of many famous masters. She has at least accepted the core inheritance of a certain extraordinary sect, otherwise she would not be so exquisite, because many details cannot be summarized and accumulated by one or two generations, but have been continuously improved and perfected by many predecessors over hundreds of years. result.
This is her, Hesia Tilan, Themisia's biological sister back then. Thinking about it this way, there seems to be no doubt about everything.
That 'Demon Purple Rose' was the same back then, overwhelming all the geniuses in the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain and reaching the top in a shining way. No wonder the top management of the academy paid so much attention to her and invested generously in her.
In the training ground, the girl put away her sword, and her temperament returned to her usual quiet and delicate appearance. It was completely invisible to the fierce and powerful people just now. She simply lifted her skirt and bowed to everyone, expressing her mercilessness. Defeat each other's apology.
But at this time, the other people in the room could no longer look at this girl with the same eyes as before. The delicate and quiet expression turned into a reserved and unpredictable one, which made people feel awe.
