Chapter 267 The daily life of those left behind(1/2)
A week has passed since the incident in the college, and the weather has gradually begun to turn colder, vaguely taking another step towards winter.
In the newly opened martial arts arena, which served as a temporary place for swordsmanship training, Kitazawa practiced swinging his sword tens of thousands of times every day as always.
"Hey, boss, you still got up so early?"
A boy walked into the training yawning. He must be a member of the "Alliance". When he saw Kitazawa, whose clothes were completely soaked, he raised his hand and said hello.
"The training has been delayed due to injury, and we must get back into shape as soon as possible." After chatting with the boy for a few words, Kitazawa immediately returned to practicing swordsmanship.
Kitazawa's injuries have basically recovered. This was achieved after he declined the hospital's follow-up rehabilitation training on the grounds that "priority should be given to treating the more seriously injured wounded" and relied solely on his self-healing ability.
Except for a few seriously injured patients who nearly died, most of the students have recovered and started studying in this temporary "new academy".
Although Peel and others who arrived later tried their best to minimize the damage, they still inevitably caused damage to the newly built college that was difficult to recover in a short period of time. Both the faculty office building and the classrooms were damaged to varying degrees, so after the
After careful consideration, Peel lent his manor and temporarily transformed it into a teaching center for the college. It was a bit crowded, but at least it allowed students to resume normal courses.
Of course, because a small part of the previous rebels were college teachers who had been disguised for many years, after they were resolutely eliminated, the ratio of teachers to students in the entire college became somewhat skewed. Fortunately, the two major guilds, "Sword Lion" and "Feng Wu", sent out
With the support of several team leaders, I finally managed to meet the teaching requirements.
The reason why it was so urgent to restore the functions of the Swordsmanship Academy was the decision made by Taylor and the presidents after discussion. At that time, the news of Baidi's invasion had just come, and Taylor obviously felt that the crisis was getting closer and closer, and there was not much left for them to breathe.
Time, the country is in urgent need of talents who can be put into use, so even if it is possible to stimulate the economy, it has to take this approach.
However, in order to appease the wavering parents of the students, the Leah royal family also offered more favorable conditions. Not only did they promise to exempt all students from school expenses, but as long as they joined the newly established guard after graduation, in addition to the originally expensive
In addition to salary, your family can also enjoy tax exemptions.
This kind of condition is undoubtedly a shot in the arm after the turmoil of unstable public sentiment. Not only have the families who were originally college students strengthened their confidence, but also many poor people who came from poor backgrounds and had not dared to try before are eager to try, which makes the number of people who should have been reduced
The number of students has actually increased a lot.
After the previous dean resigned, the dean's position was temporarily replaced by John.
Regarding this point, John has protested to Taylor several times, but in the end they were all categorically rejected. In fact, the original candidate for dean was Pierre. After all, at present, his swordsmanship is the best in Leah, and
The old Duke also sent back a report that the military situation in the east is stable, and there is no need for him to go back to scare the demons for the time being.
However, due to a certain decision later, Pierre wanted to travel with Taylor, along with Reinhardt and Doragon, and almost half of Leah's top combat force left. Although the aliens continued to hit the wall one after another, it should not happen in the short term.
Even if there is a big operation, we still need to nip it in the bud, so after discussion, the task of leaving the house to look after the house fell on John.
Although Nabe was still with him, the principal, who was adventurous and adventurous, was inevitably resentful.
so--
Just after completing a thousand sets of sword swing training, Kitazawa was about to take a breath when he felt someone standing behind him. He turned around and was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Good morning, Mr. Principal."
"Well, it's quite hard."
John walked over unhurriedly, smiled at him, looked at the training doll a few times, and pointed at a few places with deep marks: "These swords are still too strong. Although you use a giant sword,
You must remember that the true essence of a greatsword is to be able to retract and release it freely, and to achieve perfection in every detail... Peel should have taught a lot about controlling strength, so I won't go into details."
Kitazawa quickly lowered his head lower: "Thank you for your guidance. Kitazawa has benefited a lot."
The identity of "disciple of 'Dragon Knight'" has gradually spread in the academy after the last turmoil. Kitazawa suddenly became the object of envy, jealousy and hatred among many students, and even the girls who secretly stuffed them with love letters became more and more popular.
Double growth.
Of course, Kitazawa always kept Peel's warning in mind and never felt any sense of superiority because of his identity. Instead, he felt an invisible pressure. He always told himself that as a disciple of the "Dragon Knight", he must not do anything that would make the teacher look bad.
When it comes to things that are not honorable, the requirements for myself are simply stringent, and I don’t know how many times I work harder than others.
Of course, now that the "Brotherhood" has completely collapsed, as the leader of the "Alliance" and the most powerful group of students, Kitazawa's popularity has soared unprecedentedly, and he is also a disciple of the "Dragon Knight", so naturally there will be students admiring him.
Come and ask for advice.
To these students, Kitazawa would always carefully explain his experience and impart his experience on how to get promoted without any reservation. Some of his experiences have indeed inspired many people, after all, we are all of the same age.
People may even have an advantage over teachers in their opinions on certain issues.
"I heard that you recently prescribed 'Xiao Zao' to some students privately?"
John's voice came, and Kitazawa quickly recovered his thoughts and answered seriously: "Yes... Because there is a shortage of teachers now, some students cannot receive personal guidance in class, so they come to me so that everyone can learn from each other and make progress."
"It's certainly commendable to help each other, but you are only a seventh-level swordsman. No matter how talented you are, your understanding of swordsmanship will definitely have some omissions. So pay attention to the scale when communicating, and don't explain things that you have vague knowledge about."
"Yes, please bear this in mind." Kitazawa nodded vigorously.
The principal's words don't sound wrong, but I always feel...
Seems a little harsh?
Kitazawa didn't think about it carefully, he just thought that the other party deliberately used this tone to warn him.
"Have you not been to the Arena for a long time?"
I don’t know why this question was brought up. Looking at the smile on John’s lips, Kitazawa felt a little embarrassed for some reason, but he still replied truthfully: “Because there are not many students who are willing to fight with students, so I haven’t done any fighting skills recently.
field."
Kitazawa didn't mean to promote himself. There were still people in the academy who were better than him, but they were basically veteran students. Most of them had already begun to take up positions in various guilds and guards, and they hardly appeared in the academy.
.Among the remaining new members, there are very few who can match his level.
The original intention of setting up the fighting arena is to allow students to learn from each other through training, but if the battle is over as soon as it begins, then what else is there to learn?
If Kitazawa is allowed to let go, it will be disrespectful to the other party.
This matter actually made him worry for a few days. After all, the teacher has now left Gaia. Although the teachers at the college take good care of him, they are only able to ask for advice alone. Under the current situation of "demand exceeds supply"
, it is really difficult to get them to take the time to provide practical guidance for one and a half days.
Moreover, the college has a slogan of "everyone is equal". If you really receive such unequal treatment, even if others don't tell them, it will inevitably leave a bad impression in their hearts, and you may even be disappointed with Her Royal Highness's policies.
.
This is what Kitazawa least wants to see.
"You can't do it behind closed doors. As a swordsman, you have to hone your sword skills in continuous battles." John patted his shoulder, raised his eyebrows, and encouraged: "So do you want to have a fight?
"
"Ah?" He didn't react at the first moment. Kitazawa was stunned for a long time before he opened his eyes wide and said, "Principal, what do you mean..."
"It's up to me, the principal, to personally guide you." John patted his barren chest with a "Don't be too moved" expression on his face.
Kitazawa's eyes immediately sparkled——
The other party was the leader of the famous "Feng Wu"! One person killed two of Valentine's most famous deacons, and he was also a giant swordsman. His understanding of swordsmanship must be different from his teacher's in some way. He could definitely do it.
Bring more enlightenment.
Kitazawa naturally put aside the numbness in his scalp just now and bowed gratefully: "Of course I am willing! I'm really sorry to trouble you!"
"You're welcome, you are Pierre's disciple, I will be merciful."
The slightly strange tone made Kitazawa raise his head, but he immediately saw a flash of sword light——
"ah!"
The manic sword wind instantly knocked Kitazawa away, slamming into the wall a hundred meters away, almost squeezing out all the air in his lungs.
John shook his sword and frowned slightly: "Do you think I would say something like 'be careful, start now'? In a real battle, the enemy will not be so kind."
"...It's the students who were careless."
It seemed that a rib was broken. Kitazawa pressed his chest and reluctantly stood up. He was still breathing heavily, but his eyes were burning brightly.
"The eyes are very good." John raised the corners of his mouth and changed the original posture of holding the sword hilt with two fingers to a formal holding of the sword: "Don't worry, if you lose consciousness, I will take you to the hospital."
"Please give me more advice!"
Kitazawa took a sudden step, roared and rushed out with excitement.
…………
I gradually regained consciousness, but my head still hurt.
Kitazawa shook his head, saw the surrounding environment, and sighed in his heart——
Sure enough, I was sent here...
After half an hour of "beating", Kitazawa gritted his teeth and persisted and finally passed out.
After moving his hands and feet, it seemed that he had been treated by a holy healer. The internal injuries had basically disappeared, leaving only some superficial skin that was still aching.
Although the principal's "education" method is somewhat special, unlike ordinary instructors who control their own strength within the acceptable range of students, Kitazawa was beaten unilaterally almost from the beginning to the end, but thanks to this kind of ruthlessness
Thanks to his training methods, the "subtle" sword skills that he had previously been unable to understand have become somewhat apparent.
As for the many unexplained complaints that were made during the battle, such as "I want you to take my position", "You all go play and leave me here", etc., Kitazawa still selectively ignored them.
Although the attack was a bit harsh, didn't you get through it well?
Kitazawa was holding the edge of the bed and just thinking about it, when a young man suddenly walked in outside the door. He looked surprised when he saw him: "Brother Kitazawa, are you awake?"
The one who came in was Muta who had just joined the "Alliance".
Although there is not much age difference between the two, Kitazawa's strength is much higher than that of the latter, and he is a senior in the academy, so Muta naturally calls him by this title.
Seeing that the boy was still holding fruit in his hand, Kitazawa smiled and said: "Why are you here? Don't you need to train in the afternoon? I remember that the only basic course this week is the afternoon session."
