"Bell, look ahead. Never close your eyes because of the force of the attack. Only by opening your eyes can you effectively dodge and counterattack!"
"Yes, I understand!"
The white-haired boy who was holding the dagger responded loudly, but the next second his calf was kicked hard.
He stumbled on his feet and almost fell to the ground due to his unstable center of gravity.
Xiao Lin yelled loudly: "Look ahead, I don't want you to see my face! Divert your gaze and be alert to every move I make, even the smallest movements must be forewarned!"
"Yes Yes!"
The white-haired boy responded loudly, enduring the severe pain and once again positioning himself to prepare for the attack. Unfortunately, just as he was ready to counterattack, he was slapped to the ground again from a blind angle.
After many repeated attacks, Bell had no physical strength and lay on the ground panting, unable to get up again.
At this time, his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, and his whole body was in tatters. It was obvious that this kind of special training had been going on for a long time.
Why did it become like this?
That starts with Xiao Lin's words and deeds to him last night.
In order to change Bell's weak mentality, Xiaolin taught him a famous saying from a strong man. The inspiring words woke Bell up, and he strongly asked Xiaolin to give him guidance.
Xiaolin, who still felt guilty about Bell and wanted to see how far Bell could grow, agreed to the request after a brief thought.
So it became what it is now.
"It seems you still have something to learn, Bell."
"Yes Yes……"
He helped the timid rabbit, who had a bruised nose and swollen face and couldn't speak clearly, and the two of them came to the corner of the city wall.
Seeing Lefia and Sword Girl Ais who were kissing each other, I didn't know for a moment whether they were here for special training or to mess with Lily.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaolin."
Sword Girl Ais thanked her softly.
In fact, she was very troubled after accepting the job of teaching Bell.
Not because of the trouble, but because she was extremely inarticulate and unable to use words to guide Bell and make him understand her tactical knowledge.
Therefore, she proposed to use the form of battle to let Bell feel and learn with his body, and correct his mistakes in the battle.
It's just that it's difficult this way.
It all depends on personal talent.
Although Xiaolin also teaches in the same way, he is obviously good at communicating with words and is more suitable to teach Bell.
Of course, there is also the relationship between Lefiya and Sword Girl Ais.
Placing Bell by the city wall, Xiaolin invited Sword Girl Ais to dance with him.
Like the coward who wants to become stronger, he is also working hard to become stronger, so it is essential to fight against strong people and accept their guidance.
Sword Princess Ais agreed without hesitation.
Unlike fighting with Bell, whose strength is too different, fighting with Xiaolin can obviously enhance her strength, and his special weapons also allow her to think and reserve ways to deal with it.
Then, the two danced on the city wall.
It was said to be a dance simply because the two of them were so gorgeous.
The two of them are known for their dexterity. They come and go, sometimes intertwining and sometimes separated. The sound of tiny footsteps on the beat is accompanied by the intersection of weapons. However, there is a fatal danger hidden under the beautiful dance, which constantly seduces their minds. in.
"So powerful..."
"Amazing."
Lefia's words were interrupted.
Turning around, he found that Bell was watching the two people dancing on the court attentively, with obvious desire and unwillingness in his eyes.
She knew that this boy wanted to join in and become as strong as the two of them.
Lefiya, who originally only wanted to stick to Sword Princess Ais, had a change in her mentality at this moment.
No matter how beautiful the dance is, it will eventually come to an end.
Soon, Xiao Lin was defeated.
It's not that he lacks physical strength, but when Sword Princess Ais increases her speed and frequency, he can no longer keep up with her opponent's rhythm.
After being disrupted, the result will naturally be defeat.
The two of them put away their weapons in unison.
"You've become stronger again, Miss Ais."
Not a compliment, but it's true.
After breaking the boundaries, Sword Princess Ais grew rapidly again and became stronger than before in the dungeon.
Sword Princess Ais nodded but did not speak.
She was not proud of it.
Not only because of her personality, but more importantly, she knew that she wanted to become stronger, even stronger than she is now.
Only in this way can you go to the 59th floor.
At this time, Lefiya in the distance shouted: "How about you two taking a little rest?"
"That's fine. Let's take a rest."
"Um."
Xiao Lin and Sword Girl Ais also came to the city wall and sat down.
Seeing Bell's obvious desire, Xiao Lin knew how much the fight between the two had brought to this cowardly rabbit.
It seems that he also has the desire to become stronger.
Scratched his head.
"Okay, let's pass on some experience."
"yes!"
Bell responded loudly, looking very excited.
Xiaolin thought for a while and said: "If you want to become stronger, you must clarify your fighting style."
"Fighting style?"
The fledgling Bell was clearly unaware.
Sword Girl Ais was slightly startled after hearing this, and looked at Xiao Lin as if she was wondering if it was really appropriate to tell him now?
Xiao Lin waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.
Adventurers... no, any profession, if you want to grow, you must find a more suitable path for yourself.
If you can determine it from the beginning, it will not only save a lot of time, but also bring immeasurable blessings to your own growth attributes.
"I characterize my fighting style as a three-step move."
"Three steps?"
It was obviously the first time for everyone to hear this theory.
"Choice of weapons, one's own strengths and goals for growth."
Xiao Lin raised his finger, and a silver-white thread was wrapped around it, and said: "There is a saying that goes well: Weapons are an adventurer's closest companion. The right weapon can better bring out the adventurer's strength. Therefore, choosing a weapon means becoming stronger. The most important part of the road.”
Take him as an example.
In fact, at first, Kobayashi's weapon was not silk thread but a bow and arrow. Later, due to the joining of Sato Kazuma and Aqua, he gave up the bow and arrow and chose the long sword. Finally, because Ota said that long sword was not suitable, he finally chose silk thread.
The three of them looked at the weapons in their hands.
Needless to say, Sword Princess Ais, being able to upgrade to LV6 with a rapier has shown that she is very suitable for this weapon; Lefia's profession is a magician, and her own limitations lead her to choose a wand.
Bell looked at the dagger in his hand.
To be honest, he didn't want to change it because it was a weapon specially prepared for him by God Hestia.
Bell still doesn't know that the weapon in his hand is an artifact worth 200 million, he just doesn't want to change it.
Seeing the confused expression on Cowardly Rabbit's face, Xiao Lin naturally understood why.
Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with the price and value of the weapons. After all, if adventurers use weapons that are not suitable for them in dungeons, they will be the ones who suffer the consequences in the end.
"Of course, you don't have to change weapons."
"Eh?"
"Because whether current weapons are suitable for you depends on your own strengths. Rather, weapons are an extension of your own strengths."
Kobayashi's strengths are [eyes] and [fingers].
Thanks to this, he changed his weapon to use silk thread, and always gained the upper hand in battle.
"Bell's strength is running fast."
"This, this..."
Cowardly Rabbit scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
In his opinion, Xiaolin's words were alluding to his cowardice, and Sword Girl Ace had told him this before.
Xiao Lin patted his head and taught him a lesson: "Don't show that expression. This is a very powerful advantage."
"Really, really!"
"Of course! Running fast means agility and dexterity, and when fighting enemies, being fast is the most straightforward advantage!"
All martial arts in the world are invincible, except speed.
Fast is good!
His words were like a shot in the arm for the unconfident coward, rekindling hope for the frustrated Bell.
"To give you an example..."
Xiaolin thought for a while, pointed to the swordswoman beside him and said, "Miss Ais is agility specialist. You should understand it."
"——!!!"
Bell's eyes brightened.
With the same special skills as the person he admires, he will naturally be excited and feel that he will be as powerful as Sword Princess in the future.
This is proper star-chasing mentality.
Although whether he can be as powerful as Sword Princess Ais depends on his potential and talent, it shouldn't be a problem if it is Bell.
"So, there are many ways to become stronger if you are fast."
"The way to become stronger..."
"For example, using speed to gain an advantage in violent combos, using agility to find flaws... and so on."
Xiaolin's words helped Bell open the door to a new world and let him see more ways to become stronger.
"In this case, the dagger may not be a suitable weapon for you. Because it is light and agile, you can do it without changing weapons."
"Yes, yes."
Bell blushed slightly and lowered his head after being exposed.
As for the other student.
——Lefia.
Xiao Lin forcefully ignored her expectant look.
Unlike Bell, who has no one to teach him, Lefiya, who is the backbone of the new generation of Loki Familia, has the guidance of Riveria, the strongest mage in Labyrinth City. If his messy words lead away the stupid elf, he will definitely suffer the entire The pursuit of the Loki Familia.
So, I'm sorry.
But the last one was able to play with her.
After waiting for a moment for them to digest all the knowledge, Xiaolin said again: "As for the final goal, it is the growth goal, or the staged growth goal."
"Phases?"
"That's right."
Xiaolin once again gave an example: "You see, it's like a fledgling adventurer. Although he has the ambition to become a strong LV7 player, he can't catch up with him no matter how he grows up. Becoming stronger is not achieved overnight, but to become stronger in one fell swoop. A little bit of down-to-earth accumulation. Sometimes lofty goals will not only not inspire, but will invisibly bring huge pressure, so there are staged growth goals."
The same is true in life.
In study or work, a short-term goal is established at each stage or period. The purpose is to grow in this specific stage or period, and under the guidance of this staged goal, better move towards the long-term goal. .
Now, not only Bell, but also Sword Princess Ais and Lefiya knew nothing about it.
It seems that it is still too advanced for them.
Of course, this sentence was also meant for Bell, because after this cowardly rabbit heard that Sword Queen Ais was promoted to LV6, his whole state was not right.
So Xiao Lin had to catch him in time.
Otherwise, the thread in this idiot's mind would be broken at some point.
"Yo! Are you guys in training?"
Suddenly, a voice saying hello came from behind.
Following the sound, several people looked back.
"God Hestia?"
Bell screamed.
When Hestia saw Bell's nose and face swollen, his expression changed.
She hurriedly ran over, hugged Bell, glared at Xiaolin and others fiercely, and shouted: "Bell! Who turned you into this! Tell me, are you bullying Bell? Stand up!"
"S-Lord God?! No, no...!"
Bell waved his hands, desperately trying to explain.
Unexpectedly, Hestia calmed down first, touched Bell's head, and said softly: "Really, wasn't he beaten to pieces?"
"Huh?"
"Anyway, you insisted on asking for it."
"Yes Yes……"
Bell tilted his head awkwardly.
The shy young man was naturally speechless after his Lord God saw his embarrassed side.
"However! With such a ruthless attack, it seems that Miss Warren has no interest in you at all! Well, that must be the case!" Hestia's face was filled with a smile.
"That... Lord God, it was not Miss Wallenstein who did it."
"Um?"
"It's Mr. Xiaolin..."
Bell softly said the other person's name, causing Hestia to look disgusted again.
"What, is it Xiaolin?!"
She glared at Xiao Lin as if she wanted to find fault, but she always felt that she was not blaming Xiao Lin for beating Bell, but blaming why the one who beat Bell was not Sword Princess Ace.
Poor Bell, he can't escape the fate of being beaten no matter what.
Even his own Lord God doesn’t care.
"sorry."
Xiaolin apologized decisively.
No matter what, it was him who caused Bell's nose and face to be bruised and it was always right to apologize.
On the contrary, Bell waved his hands quickly and said hurriedly: "No, there is no need to apologize! After all, I asked Mr. Xiaolin to give me special training, so, so..."
One is the main god and the other is the mentor.
It's understandable that Bell would panic.
"In that case, let me treat you as an apology." Xiao Lin suggested: "It happens to be evening, let's go have a big dinner!"
"Big, big meal...! Okay, let's have a big meal!"
Hestia's eyes lit up and drool drooled from the corner of her mouth.
She knew it.
Xiao Lin is very generous and treats every time they happen to meet.
It was dark at night, and the dazzling magic stone lamp lit up the night view of the city, welcoming the adventurers returning from the maze, showing a prosperous situation.
After drinking and eating, everyone walked on the street.
Hestia patted her bulging belly and said happily, "Ah, the meal after training tastes delicious!"
"...You don't seem to have trained."
Lefiya couldn't help but complain.
"S-Lord God!"
Even Bell was frightened by the shameless look of his master god, and apologized repeatedly: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Xiaolin!"
"no problem, no problem."
If a treat would stop Hestia from being unreasonable, Xiaolin would be happy to spend the money.
After walking up several flights of stairs, we arrived at the northwest back street at the edge of the labyrinth city.
This was a rather spacious back street. There was no one around except them, and it looked deserted.
On the other hand, it's too quiet.
Surrounded by darkness, it was dark and lightless, and one could only rely on the stars and moonlight to maintain vision.
Not to mention the magic stone lamp, even the building has no lights.
Quite unnatural.
——Someone is watching us!
Xiaolin, who was sensitive to sight, stopped, and the sword girl Ais beside him also stopped.
As if they noticed something strange, everyone held their breath.
Immediately afterwards, a light blue pattern appeared on Xiao Lin's forehead, and the next second he moved his head into a shadow.
Although his eyes were not open, it was already clear that he had discovered the other person.
【Come out! 】
Warn the other person with your eyes.
Following Xiao Lin's 'line of sight', everyone found a figure emerging from the darkness.
The black face shield, black armor, and even the weapons are specially painted black.
But with the figure that seemed to blend into the darkness and the cat ears on his head, his identity was exposed under Xiao Lin's [eyes].
