The rapier sword, Rapier, was popular in the late 16th and 17th centuries on Earth and was the king of unarmored duels. Its biggest feature is its gorgeous hand guard and relatively slender sword body. In many people's minds, swift swords are often called thin swords or stabbing swords, and the sword body is extremely elastic and only has the function of stabbing. Compared with the tough and simple long sword, it is more gorgeous and is labeled as "women's sword". "Tag of.
After all, swift swords commonly appear in the hands of female characters in most film and television entertainment works. It is no wonder that ordinary people have such an impression.
But in fact, the blade of a real swift sword is not soft, nor is it a slender cone, which loses its cutting ability. The cross-section of the Swift Sword's blade included an early flat triangle, and later developed into a thick and narrow hexagon. The overall shape looked like a long sword after losing weight, which strengthened the thrusting ability and weakened the chopping ability. The blade of a swift sword is very hard. Although its cutting ability is not as good as that of a long sword, it is still extremely threatening when facing the body of a person without armor.
It possesses the flexibility and opponent-protection capabilities that a long sword never has. The gorgeous handguard is the key to protecting a swordsman from being knocked off the weapon by the enemy. At the same time, the Swift Sword has the length and weight of a long sword, but it is a one-handed sword and is a complete "man's sword".
"So how can these women in the world of Terra play with these weapons so smoothly!"
Valentin yelled desperately in his heart, and his face under the mask was already soaked with tears (crossed out) and sweat.
"Because men are unreliable, women can only be forced to take up arms." Jiao Zhengyu said an extremely feminist statement in Valentine's mind.
"I think the men in this world are all excellent and handsome. Don't you think I'm like this?" The appearance of Jiao Zhengyu's voice calmed Valentin's restless heart. Every time he talked to the system, You can feel a sense of security from within.
"You're not handsome, you're beautiful."
Jiao Zhengyu teased and continued to give Valentin popular knowledge about the world of Terra.
"I remember I once said... Oh, did I say that? No, it's not important... How many people do you think there are in the world of Terra?"
Jiao Zhengyu didn't want to tell Valentine directly, but set up a suspense.
"What I hate most is you bastards who don't tell everything at once and go out of their way to ask the audience questions. I just want to know the answer, and I'm not interested in guessing at all, okay?"
If Jiao Zhengyu appeared in the real world, Valentin would definitely point at his nose and shout these words.
“The world is bigger than you think, but there are far fewer people than you think.”
Jiao Zhengyu ignored Valentin's inner complaints and began to explain his "Terra World and Population" PPT.
In a daze, Valentine's consciousness appeared in the spiritual space. Under the white light of the horizon, a pure yellow wooden table appeared in front of him, and a bench of the same style as the table also appeared behind him.
"The desks and chairs you used in high school are here to remind you of that boring but carefree good time again." Jiao Zhengyu in the form of a film appeared a few meters in front of Valentine, with another hand on his hand. A blackboard appears.
"I don't think this environment will remind me of the good times in high school." Valentin looked back at the surroundings, feeling only cold and desolate.
But very quickly, in just a blink of an eye, the mental space changed.
Pure white walls, ceramic tiles more than one meter high, and desks piled with books. When Valentine raised his arms, he could see various scratches on the desk and the black edges left by time. trace. The windows on the right are large, both front and rear. There are three rectangular pieces of glass installed in the window, which can be opened on the left and right. The door is a relatively small one, yellow in color, and can accommodate up to two people entering and exiting at the same time. The door lock is hung on the handle behind the door, and the side of the door switch is wrapped with thick transparent tape, probably to make the door close tighter and prevent air leakage.
The floor was dirty and the marble tiles were soaked with black ash. The sycamore tree outside the window was swaying, and the golden sunlight spilled into the classroom through the gaps between the leaves, shining on Valentine's desk. The chirping of cicadas sounded rhythmically, echoing in Valentine's ears continuously. There are no air conditioners or fans in the classroom, and the air is stuffy. Even the famous aphorisms hanging on the walls have been distorted by the high temperature.
Valentine's clothes were very simple, a black and white coat dotted with red lines, and the collar was also bright red. Under the sunlight, Valentine's brain stung, and he felt a warm current rushing into his nasal cavity. The clothes are very simple, not beautiful, even ugly, but they carry his most nervous and relaxed memories.
He blinked, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and turned to look at the podium. Jiao Zhengyu on the podium still looks like a boy from the Philin clan, a boy with white hair and cat ears. It's just that the clothes on his body have changed into a white shirt and trousers, and the belt gives off a familiar sense of cheapness.
This was the most common attire for male teachers of that era, young and old.
Poof.
Valentine sniffed and laughed.
"You look weird wearing this outfit when you are so young."
Too old-fashioned, too ordinary.
It doesn’t match that Harvard and Yale level appearance at all.
"Didn't you say that the environment just now won't remind you of your wonderful high school days? In order to meet your request, I changed into this look specially and restored it based on your memory."
He raised his hand to his neck and flicked it down his clothes.
"I even restored the teacher's clothes."
"That's why I feel weird..." Valentine responded blankly, speaking much slower, as if he was immersed in memories.
"Okay, Valentine... I should say Chen Yue, don't talk now." Jiao Zhengyu knocked on the blackboard.
"Class begins now, shut your mouth."
Valentine raised his hand and touched his head. The cold horns were still pointing straight into the sky on both sides of his head.
"You should call me Valentine..."
"Okay, Valentine, stand up now."
A ruler appeared in Jiao Zhengyu's hand and he knocked on the blackboard.
Valentine smiled wryly, shook his head and stood up.
"This class is very short. It mainly talks about some knowledge about the world of Terra, so that you can understand this world properly." Jiao Zhengyu put down the ruler in his hand and opened two small movable blackboards in the middle of the blackboard.
Inside is a large white display screen, directly connected to the computer on the podium.
After a click of the mouse, a picture appeared in front of Valentine's eyes.
A planet with blue and green tones, with green interspersed with some white and large patches of yellow. It looks just like the Earth, but the shape of the continental plates can only be said to be similar, but there are still some differences.
"This is the world of Terra, a planet similar to the Earth." Jiao Zhengyu tapped the display screen with a ruler.
"It doesn't look as green as the Earth." Valentin carefully observed the planet and gave his evaluation.
"And the sea is a bit dark?"
"It's true." Jiao Zhengyu found a continent and enlarged it. Two-thirds of the entire continent was yellow, with very few green areas.
But it is worth noting that there are many thin blue lines in these yellow plots.
That's the river.
"Due to natural disasters, the environment of this world is not as good as you think. It is much worse than that of Earth."
"But wilderness also provides another convenience to people in this world - no obstacles."
The screen turned, and an aerial picture of the Rhode Island base appeared on the display.
"Human beings have the Origin Stone and technology. The land is flat and there are no obstacles. They are often threatened by natural disasters, so mobile cities came into being."
"However, their technology is not much higher than the technological level of people on Earth. The reason why the mobile city is successful is because of the existence of the Source Stone."
"Uh... so powerful that bricks fly?" Valentin thought of a word.
"That's right." Jiao Zhengyu snapped his fingers, and the scene changed again.
Countless black pipes spread across the image, like spider webs. At the very center of the network, a transparent square container connects all the pipes. In the container, a huge source stone lay there. The color of the source stone is very bright, and its purity is definitely not lower than the pure level.
"In order to let you see it clearly, I made the core transparent. In fact, you can't see the source stone inside the real core."
"To be honest, I think if the people on Earth had the Origin Stone, the First Solar System War would have already started." Valentine scratched his head.
"Based on the nature of people on earth, it should be the second solar system war."
Jiao Zhengyu clicked the mouse, and the picture changed again, turning into a group photo of Rhode Island operators.
"Natural disasters made mobile cities popular, and the Origin Stone left behind promoted the development of the world of Terra. In just a few hundred years, they had technology that surpassed the people on Earth."
"But in the meantime, new problems have arisen."
"Population problems."
"The world of Terra is about the same size as the Earth. The ratio of land to ocean is 4:6, which means that the land of this world is larger than that of the Earth."
"Is this why some people in this world have never heard of the ocean..."
Valentine muttered.
"But the total population is only one billion."
"Moving cities, natural disasters, and ore diseases have limited the rapid growth of humans. So far, the annual growth rate of humans in the world of Terra has been stable at 0."
“Babies are born in one place, and people die in another place due to natural disasters.”
"Of course, one billion humans is not a problem." Jiao Zhengyu shrugged.
"The real issue is the male-to-female ratio."
Two huge numbers appeared on the screen, a blue 1 and a pink 2.
"1:2."
"One billion people, 66 percent of them are women."
"...This is paradise." Valentine seemed to see a bunch of girls waving to him.
"To a certain extent... yes. Because people in this world have a special gene. I don't know if medical researchers have discovered this. I named this gene the 'appearance gene'. "
"That's right." Jiao Zhengyu nodded, looking at Valentine's hesitant expression.
"This gene is the reason why humans in the world of Terra can always maintain good looks."
Valentine nodded. In this world, good looks are not considered beautiful, only divine looks are.
"This gene is hung firmly in the DNA of every Terran like a lock without a key, and hundreds of years of genetic changes have not had the slightest impact."
"There are no ugly people in this world now, there are no ugly ones in history, and there will be no ugly ones in the future."
Not in history? This is interesting.
"Let's skip this gene, which is as indestructible as Ceria, and continue talking about what we just said."
"Although there are twice as many women as men in the world, polygamy does not exist. And because there are more women, in some countries women have a higher status than men."
"There are also many women in the army. If you like a girl like Ceria who is as beautiful as a diamond and has a brain as hard as a diamond, you can go to the Veterans Club, where there are a group of unmarried older sisters."
"Oh, by the way, cute little boys like you are very popular in their circle."
"No need." Valentine waved his hand righteously.
"At the same time, because of the Origin Stone, firearms have not been invented. Origin Stone technology is very popular in the world of Terra. Arrows mixed with Origin Stone fragments have the power to rival firearms, and even some large arrows can be used to attack. city."
"The war did not promote the development of martial arts schools. On the contrary, some military-specific killing techniques have been well developed. Many people opened martial arts schools after retirement to teach simplified killing techniques without any posture. This is why the development of martial arts in this world is so poor. Balance reasons."
"Swordsmanship is still a pastime for nobles to a certain extent, so its development in this world is still at a very low level."
"This is also the reason why you can't see the opponent's swordsmanship. Those are all for killing people, and there are not so many movement restrictions."
"The swordsmanship on earth can kill people, and it has developed over thousands of years of history. The swordsmanship of this world can also kill people, but the historical accumulation is too short. The swordsmanship practiced by those nobles is more like a sport."
"Is this what you mean?"
Valentine summarized Jiao Zhengyu and what he just said.
"That's right.
"And the physical fitness of the Terran people is much better than that of the people on Earth. Because of the existence of the Source Stone, the materials used to cast weapons are also much better. Although the knife is very thin, it can definitely withstand a lot of force. Although Texas is a young girl, her strength can definitely beat an adult male on Earth."
"Although they have evolved into humans, the animals' talent for violence has not been washed away by time."
"Is this why the people of Terra are all beast-eared girls..." Valentin twitched the corner of his mouth.
"There is also a man with animal ears." Jiao Zhengyu added.
"..."
"Then, this class is over." As Jiao Zhengyu's words fell, the classroom that aroused Valentine's memories disappeared, and Jiao Zhengyu turned into Feilin in casual clothes.
"Have you considered coming to Rhode Island to work?" Valentine looked up and down at the white-haired man with animal ears in front of him.
"No." Jiao Zhengyu refused without the slightest hesitation.
"I once said that I can only provide you with some help. My own power cannot be used in this world, otherwise the superiors will directly judge me as a failure of the mission."
Valentine pouted.
"I'm quite looking forward to living in the same dormitory as you."
"You will have roommates by then."
Like before, Jiao Zhengyu gradually became transparent and his voice became ethereal.
"But I could consider turning into a cat and coming into the real world."
"Spiders can do it too." Valentin remembered the joke he had with Jiao Zhengyu in Chernobog last time.
At that time, Jiao Zhengyu didn't have a name yet, and he was only one step away from going home.
That was the first time he realized his feelings for Xing Yihuang.
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you some information, it might be useful." Jiao Zhengyu, who had disappeared, appeared in front of Valentine again, but only his upper body appeared.
"what?"
"The Terran people have many things in common with their prototype beasts, one of which is...estrus."
"Dragons and Sakota are in heat just like humans, 365 days a year. Vaifan, you should be able to feel when it is."
"As demons, Sarkaz, although they usually look very serious, they are more cunning than anyone else."
"Otherwise, I would be sorry for their racial name which means 'succubus'."
"As for others, they basically enter estrus in spring and end in summer."
"Why are you telling me this?" Valentine was a little confused.
"It's winter now, and spring will come soon. This spring is the last time you can relax. There are many operators in Rhode Island, so it's good to build a good relationship with them and develop a gay relationship or something."
"After all, once spring is over, you won't be able to enjoy such a relaxed and happy daily life."
There was a weird smile behind the words.
Looking at Jiao Zhengyu who disappeared again in front of him, Valentine entered a state of confusion again.
"Is this a...warning?"
He is a new operator. What difficult tasks can be entrusted to him in the next year?
I really can't understand it.
Consciousness gradually dissipated, and Valentine closed his eyes again.
————————This is the last leisure time————————
A black swift sword stopped in front of his shoulder. The tip of the sword penetrated deeply into the protective suit. Valentine could faintly feel the sharpness of the sword tip on his shoulder. The black swift sword shone with a dim brilliance in the sunlight, and the back of the sword was entangled with black indescribable things, which looked like thorns or the tentacles of a soft-bodied creature. Different from the swift sword in Valentine's hand, the guard of the swift sword in Franka's hand is very simple. There is no ring guard, only a thicker ring guard extending from the cross guard in the air. Draw an arc to connect to the sword head counterweight.
The grip of this sword is also relatively long. From visual inspection, it is absolutely no problem to hold it with two hands. The entire swift sword looks really beautiful. It is not only a qualified killing tool, but also a beautiful work of art. The unidentified wrapping around the back of the sword and the guard are full of weird beauty, making people unable to take their eyes away... …
"Wait, what am I doing?" Valentin suddenly woke up and turned his attention away from the swift sword, and met Franka's provocative gaze under the mask.
"Does this sword look good?" Franka's voice was really as fascinating as her eyes, like a pair of invisible hands gently touching Valentin's heart.
As expected of Wolper...
"Quite good looking."
Valentine nodded slightly, telling the truth.
Bang.
Franca's mask collided with Valentin's mask. The somewhat lustful face was only a few centimeters away from Valentin, with only two thin mesh masks in between. He even You can see the slight trembling of Franka's nose when she breathes, and feel the warm breath.
This sister... is so flirtatious...
Valentine's heartbeat gradually accelerated, bouncing like a drum. A drop of blush stained his cheeks, and his eyes wandered around, not knowing where to look.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, as an innocent virgin, he really couldn't bear this kind of temptation.
Valentin subconsciously stepped back, but Franka pressed her hand on the back of his head. If they weren't wearing two thick protective suits, they would really be recognized as kissing.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, the state of Franka and Valentine is like this: Valentine's whole body is slightly tilted back, his hands are hanging very stiffly on both sides of the body, the hands holding the swift sword and dagger are trembling slightly, and his hands are shaking slightly. The legs were spread apart to barely maintain the balance of the body. Franka's whole body was in front of Valentine, and their protective helmets collided directly. Her left arm hugged Valentine's head to prevent him from falling back again. She held the Swift Sword in her right hand, but The tip of the sword no longer stabbed Valentine's shoulder, but dug into the edge of his boots.
Franca didn't speak after getting close, and kept smiling at the increasingly flustered Valentine. The emotion conveyed in her eyes caused Valentine's body temperature to soar, and his cheeks to become increasingly rosy.
The look in this sister's eyes is so fucking terrifying... I feel like I'm going to be eaten clean by her...
Valentine's heartbeat keeps accelerating,
Finally, Franca stopped her prank when she saw that Valentin was about to have mosquito-repellent eyes, and her affectionate gaze turned into a normal gaze with a hint of provocation.
"Little guy, do you know that Vaifan who looks similar to you?"
Although the prank had stopped, she still didn't let go of Valentine's head, and their protective helmets were still stuck tightly together. Franka spoke very quietly, but the two of them were so close that Valentin could hear her clearly, and it even felt like she was listening to ASMR.
If there really was an ASMR voice like this, he would definitely say "I'm fine" in a second.
"Thunder...Thunder Snake?" Valentine tentatively said a name.
"Do you know her?" Franca's eyes narrowed to a slit, and her golden pupils revealed a terrifying light. Although her voice was still very flirtatious, it could only make Valentin feel terrified.
He felt the swift sword pierce deeper into his boots.
"Ah... um..." Valentine's eyes flashed crazily, racking his brains to think of a reason that sounded reasonable.
When Franka's eyes became more and more dangerous, a voice appeared and saved him.
"That's enough Franka." The calm words contained imperceptible anger.
Razer stopped it with words.
Maybe others wouldn't notice anything, but Franka heard it. After all, she has been Razer's partner and friend for many years.
This guy has an unusual relationship with Razer.
She defined Valentine in her mind.
Franka loosened her grip on Valentin's head, and at the same time pulled out the thermite sword that stabbed the opponent's boot. Valentine turned his arms several times, staggered several times, and finally stood firm without falling.
"You are more interesting than I thought." Franka raised the thermite sword in her hand and pointed it at Valentine, her arms stretched straight.
"I'm looking forward to spending time with you after the test~" She suddenly smiled, as beautiful and charming as a rose.
"But before that, you have to show the strength to convince me."
Gan.
Valentine gasped for air, and the sweat on his back had soaked his shirt. There was an unknown fire burning in his heart, and it was the fat fox in front of him that made him angry.
In Franka's eyes, he felt like a plaything. Especially in the previous confrontation, Valentin was at a complete disadvantage. Franka not only crushed him in swordsmanship, but also defeated him psychologically.
If you look pretty, you can do whatever you want?
The dignity of a working man does not require money?
What Valentine felt in Texas was that the other party regarded him as a real opponent. Even if he was kicked to death by Texas, he would not hate the other party. That was her fighting style, not at all. No reservations.
And they didn’t use any force.
But what about Franka? The battle at the beginning could be said to be completely perfunctory. She dodged his attack like a dance, and hit him lightly, playing with him in the palm of her hand.
When the two were facing off against each other, he saw the joy in Franka's eyes. Although it was short-lived, Valentine saw it clearly.
She didn't see herself as an opponent.
Although his attitude became serious now, Valentin became very angry when he thought about the situation just now.
"Strength..." A large number of images of swift swordsmanship flashed in his mind. Although he received the image of the Swift Sword swordsmanship, Valentine's strength with the Swift Sword was completely inferior to that of using the long sword.
Because the long sword is much easier to use than the swift sword.
However, this does not mean that Valentine has no chance to fight back. A large number of images were closed, and only one image still stayed in his mind and appeared in front of his eyes.
Simple, effective, and absolutely perfect for Valentine, maybe even created for him.
He bent over slightly, spread his legs and stepped forward with his left foot to make a lunge. The swift sword pointed at Franka. His left hand holding the dagger was placed not far from his chest in a defensive posture. His whole body collapsed. Like a bowstring.
Kelsey frowned slightly as she looked at Valentine's state. She felt something was wrong with Valentine, but she still didn't say anything to stop him.
The use of edged weapons was proposed by Franka, saying that it can reveal a person's true level. Valentin didn't object, so Kelsey agreed.
But now it seems that the situation is not good...
Although protective clothing can protect against bladed weapons, it can still cause harm to the user if too much force is applied. Needless to say, Franca's thermite sword, once the heating function is turned on, the protective suit becomes papery.
But Kelsey believed in Franka. As a veteran swordsman, she would not do such a meaningless thing.
But what about Valentine?
Kelsey felt a wave of excitement in her heart.
"I admit that my accomplishments in swift swords are not as good as yours." Valentine did not start to attack, but chatted with the other party.
"This is a fact." Franka tilted her head. "But you look quite cute when you wield the sword."
"Really, thank you, you...cough!" Valentine almost entered the harmless mode again.
"In my memory, the Swift Sword is a weapon used in duels. One person from both sides will die."
"so?"
"I know I can't beat you, but..."
Valentine's heart sank.
"We still have the strength to die together!"
Along with Valentine's roar, blue electricity began to appear on the horns above his head. Soon, a huge dark blue flying dragon appeared in the sky above the entire training ground. Countless thick electric currents appeared on Valentine's body, and he bounced towards Franka like a cannonball at lightning speed!
Kelsey was not attracted by the giant dragon in the sky. Her entire gaze was fixed on Valentine, with a rare trace of surprise on her face.
"Do you want to stop it?" Shining's voice floated into her ears.
"Need not."
Kelsey looked at the two people who collided with each other, and her expression returned to its original state again.
A drop of blood dripped from the swift sword in Valentine's hand.
Then came the second drop.
The third drop.
Razer was stunned on the spot, his eyes as wide as bells. Xing Yihuang frowned, but did not immediately go forward to check the situation. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and took Raphael's wrist.
"What are you doing!" Raphael turned back and glared at Xing Yihuang, his voice sullen.
Xing Yihuang pointed at the dark blue flying dragon in the sky.
"In terms of treatment, no one here can compare to him."
The sound is very small and can be clearly transmitted to other people's ears. Shining and Kelsey didn't change their expressions at all, they were still staring at the two people on the field. Ceria looked up at the flying dragon in the sky and felt the majestic and endless vitality. Hua Farin stuck out her tongue in Xing Yihuang's direction, and a new plan formed in her mind.
We have to find a way to tie up Xing Yihuang and Valentine.
————————
Franka and Valentin stood face to face, countless small electric currents jumping between them. Franka's thermite sword penetrated deeply into Valentine's left chest, just like the swift sword in Valentine's hand. There was a small pool of blood at the feet of both of them, which was extremely bright.
"You are really not afraid of death..." Franka gave an ugly smile.
"Because I can't die." Valentine tilted his head, and the current between the two became stronger instantly.
"Take out all the swords, otherwise the sword that cured you will grow into my flesh." Valentine pointed at the thermite sword with his left hand.
During the attack he dropped the dagger.
"Does it hurt?"
Even in a seriously injured state, Franka was still able to joke.
"If I were afraid of pain, I wouldn't use this trick."
Valentine took a few steps back and pulled the swift sword out of Franka's chest. It was obvious that Valentine's medical spell had no therapeutic effect on the pain. Franka bit her lips and let out a few painful moans in her throat.
Soon, the two separated. Under the influence of the electric current, the wounds on their chests were intact, but the blood flowing out required their hematopoietic cells to work hard on their own.
"You're very good, little one." Although she was injured, Franka seemed to be in a good mood and returned to the slightly lustful expression she had at the beginning.
"I'm 22 years old, not a kid." Valentine rolled his eyes.
"Alright, I'm only two or three years older than you~☆" Franka winked at Valentin.
"Welcome to Rhode Island." She put the thermite sword back into its sheath, and it seemed that the wound had healed as before.
"Thank you." Valentine simply raised his hand, and with a female voice chanting and the holy light shining, the swift sword and dagger disappeared.
"By the way, your speed just now was much faster than at the beginning. Did your hidden strength explode?" Franka suddenly remembered something.
"Well, that's right. That sword blow just now took all my strength." Valentin recalled the feeling of sprinting just now. Not a single muscle in his body was relaxing, and the whole body's strength was completely exhausted in an instant. burst out.
"That move just now was called 'Wu Sheng'."
"As soon as this sword is released, someone will die. A move that only aims to kill the enemy with one move and completely ignores one's own defense is basically killing ten thousand enemies and losing nine thousand."
Valentin looked at Franka and smiled.
"My master has rough skin and thick flesh, so this move won't do him any harm. My own words..."
"As long as that thunder and lightning dragon is here, no one can kill me."
"I didn't expect you were still a middle-aged boy." Franka chuckled.
"The second grader is the guy who taught me swordsmanship..." The eternal man's smiling face appeared in Valentin's mind.
But it's not wrong to say that he is the second half of his own generation. After all, the Eternal One is a character of his own imagination, including everything about him.
"So, my test is over, right?" Valentine looked at Kelsey in the distance.
"it's over."
"That's good." Valentine breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the locker room to take off his protective clothing.
The blue mission panel appeared in front of him again, but this time there was only one sentence on it.
"Franka's strategy line has been opened."
WTF?
Valentine was completely stunned.
