It rained a little early the next morning, but it stopped soon. There were busy sounds of servants and maids in the garden early in the morning, and several furry pet monsters danced happily among the rain-stained flowers.
go.
Bing Zhixie woke up from her room, and Alice got up early in the morning and went out. After washing, she went to the corridor next to the outer garden on the first floor and stretched her lazy muscles.
A maid passed by the corridor and saw Bing Zhixie and said: "Mr. Sorcerer, you're awake. I've already prepared things for you in the small hall."
"Don't call me magician, just call me by my name." Bing Zhixie asked, "Where is the princess?"
The maid said: "Her Royal Highness got up very early to eat. I heard that she went to learn martial arts from the guards in the palace."
"Oh, thank you." Bing Zhixie went to the small hall, ate some polenta and fruit, then went to the library to get a few books, and went back to the room to continue reading.
Not far from the official residence of the owner of Caesar Manor, there is a martial arts training space specially built for the guards of the manor and the common people of the manor. At this moment, Alice is having a fierce fight with a guard in the field.
The guard only parried and did not fight back. Alice kept attacking fiercely, but she did not break through the guard's defense with any punch or kick and hit him.
After a while, both people stopped.
Alice wiped the sweat from her forehead and gasped: "How was it? Yesterday...yesterday afternoon, I have memorized all the technical moves you taught me."
The guard said: "Your Highness, you are very talented and smart."
Alice breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't pay me any more. I've asked other guards about such a simple set of skills. They quickly mastered it when they were my age."
.In order to practice this set of movements, I practiced from 1 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the evening before going to bed."
When the guard heard this, his heart was slightly shaken, and he immediately said seriously: "I'm sorry."
Alice asked strangely: "What are you apologizing for?"
The guard felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry for my attitude. I thought, princess, that you were just interested for a moment and would stop learning after two days, so I just wanted to teach you for fun. I'm really sorry."
"Haha, it doesn't matter." Alice shook her hand and smiled: "Just teach me seriously now. I am studying very seriously, teacher."
"Yeah." The guard also smiled.
Alice asked: "Well, what about the set of moves I just made?"
The guard hesitated: "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
"Of course." Alice affirmed.
The guard said: "There are many problems. First, the strength is not enough; second, the speed is not fast; then, the movements are not in place; finally, and the most serious, your fighting will is not strong enough."
Alice listened to him mention four of her shortcomings in succession. She was originally very proud of having mastered all the moves in one night, but now she felt as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on her head.
The guard saw Alice's appearance, and although he couldn't bear to stab her, since she studied so hard, he had no choice but to tell the whole truth: "Your Highness, many people think that warriors are the most humble profession, and only those who are the most humble
It is a career chosen by humble common people who cannot learn magic. In fact, this idea is very wrong. For a warrior, just like a magician, there are also high requirements for talent. And your Royal Highness, Princess,
Being a warrior is not a great talent."
Alice's heart trembled and she lowered her head sadly. At first, her master Bing Zhixie told her that she did not have the talent to become a magician, so she transferred to a warrior school. But now, some people say that she can't even become a magician.
She was not qualified to be a warrior, and she suddenly felt like a waste.
"Your Highness, Princess..." The guard saw Alice looking very sad.
Alice shook her head and forced a smile: "It's okay, you...just go on."
The guard said: "The strength of warriors in the early stage is relatively weak. Compared with knights, magicians, and magicians, they are inferior in many places, so they must rely on their natural strength to make up for the lack of fighting spirit. The power of your fists is too small, and it is very difficult to
It’s hard to hurt others.”
After a pause, the guard continued: "If the strength is not strong enough, it is fine if you have good speed. What warriors pursue is speed and strength. To a certain extent, speed is more important than strength. There are also many girls on the mainland.
Warriors, they are not as strong as men, so long as they can pursue sufficient attack speed. This is not just for female warriors, all warriors require speed of action and reaction. And your speed is not good either, whether it is movement speed,
Neither the shooting speed nor the reaction speed is fast enough."
Alice closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly: "What else?"
"The other thing is that your movements are not flexible enough, and many of your movements are not in place." The guard said: "You must know that when a warrior does not have strong strength in the early stage, he can only rely on his flexible body to protect himself and accurate but in place movements.
Attack others. It is said that a warrior must be fast, accurate, and ruthless. Accuracy relies on movement skills. Being able to make various different movements to attack others in different situations or in the air. If you cannot do this, you will not be able to hit others.
You can't fight anyone, let alone win a battle."
Alice added: "Also, are you not determined enough to fight?"
The guard said: "This is the most important point for a warrior. The strength of a warrior comes from fighting spirit, and fighting spirit comes from the extension of your fighting consciousness. Whether the will is firm or not is directly related to the strength of the fighting spirit bursting out of the body.
.And what I feel from your attack just now is that your will to fight is not firm. You just regard it as an exercise, not a life and death battle. This seriously affects the display of your fighting spirit.
.”
"The strength is not enough, the speed is not fast, the movements are not in place, the will is not strong enough..." Alice stood on the spot in silence.
At this time, another guard came from a distance and shouted: "Hey, brother, it's time to have breakfast."
The guard replied: "Okay, I'll come." He looked at Alice: "Then Princess, I..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You go ahead, I will come back to you after dinner." Alice said sadly.
"I'm taking my leave." The guard bowed out and turned to leave.
Alice was not in the mood to practice anymore and returned to the room.
Bing Zhixie was reading in the room. When he saw Alice coming back dejected, she sat on the chair and remained silent as soon as she entered the room. Bing Zhixie closed the book and asked, "What's wrong?"
The tears that Alice was holding back suddenly burst out: "Master... Master, am I useless?"
Bing Zhixie looked at her questioningly.
Alice told what had just happened, and she kept crying: "I can't be a magician, and I don't even have the talent to be a warrior. I really feel like...like a piece of trash, not even as good as an ordinary civilian.
"
"Is it because of this?" Bingzhixie said coldly: "You are indeed inferior to the most ordinary civilians."
"?" Alice looked at Master.
Bing Zhixie said: "If this setback makes you so discouraged, then you can only become an ordinary person with nothing to do in the future."
Alice cried: "But...but I don't have the talent to be a good warrior."
"Is talent really so important?" Bing Zhixie suddenly lost his temper and shouted angrily.
Alice was startled. She had never seen her master speak to her so loudly.
Bing Zhixie closed the book, walked aside and said, "Last year when I was at Kulantin College, there were always people talking about genius and talent in my ears. Let me tell you, I don't have the confidence to do this.
Just look for excuses to comfort yourself and ignore the nonsense. Even if there are so-called geniuses in this world, they have just discovered their own advantages and made good use of them. Everyone has a side that surpasses others.
, don’t use this excuse to deny your ability. Alice, have you forgotten why you left the palace and came out with me?”
Alice said: "I don't want to stay in the palace anymore, I want to go out and see the outside world."
"anything else?"
"What else?" Alice lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said: "I don't want to be pampered by them. I want to prove my ability. I want them to see that I am not a princess who can only be pampered."
Bing Zhixie turned back to look at her and said, "Is this how you prove your ability?"
"I……"
"Do you know why I agreed to let you follow me?" Bing Zhixie said: "Because I think you, like me, will work hard for your own beliefs and dreams without giving in. But, just because of this, you will
Have you given up?"
Alice lowered her head.
Bing Zhixie said again: "What is proof? What is proof? Others think you can do it, but you have done it, it is nothing. Only when others think you can't do it, but you have done it, can you be upright
Prove to them that you are not the trash they think you are!"
After a pause, he continued: "Isn't it just that the strength is not strong enough, the speed is not fast enough, the movements are not good enough, and the will is not strong enough? Yes, there is a factor of talent in it, but it does not mean that it cannot be achieved through hard work.
Achieved. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have much strength. The source of a warrior’s strength is fighting spirit. It doesn’t matter if you are not fast. Reaction speed, attack speed, and movement speed can all be cultivated. If your movements are not good enough, just practice them well. If your will is not firm, you can cultivate it through constant practice.
Practice it and make it firm.”
"Master!" Alice stood up and wiped her tears with her hands: "I understand."
"Ellie's line, it may be far away and not within reach of you. If you reach out your hand, it may not be it, but it may be frustration and pain. But if you give up your persistent belief in it, it will
It will get further and further away from you."
Alice said: "I understand, Master, and I promise you that I will never be so dejected or lose confidence in the future."
"Whether you lose confidence or not has nothing to do with me. Even if you die, it has nothing to do with me." Bing Zhixie sat back down, opened the book and continued reading.
Alice burst into laughter. Her bad mood came and went quickly. Maybe this was her optimistic character.
Walking on the path in the garden, she smiled and said: "Yes, Master did not give up on such a difficult thing in order to get all the dragons. How could I lose confidence because of such a little setback and failure? I am actually very powerful.
Well, even King Sera was seriously injured by my hands. After he finishes eating, I will go find him again. This time I must be energetic and will not flinch no matter what happens, haha
