Whether you have talent and whether your talent can bear fruit are two different things.
Ling thought as she saw the second graders training seriously in the fencing club.
"The club activities haven't started yet, and instructor Ling came very early today."
The girl who greeted her was Freda, the president of the fencing club. Although she was a first-year student, she passed the seven-game trial and defeated the seniors not long after she entered school. She has unparalleled prestige in the club. Therefore, fencing
Unlike other clubs, there is no need to change the club president because the second-year students are about to graduate.
After greeting Ling, Frieda also nodded to the strange face Ling brought.
The fencing club still has thirteen members, and there is no change from the beginning of this school year. Although the fencing club is one of the two oldest clubs, it actually feels like a self-explanatory elite club. It usually takes hundreds of electives.
People who are skilled in the art of saber swordsmanship do not take the extra step to join the fencing club, so the members here are either students from the aristocratic class who practice the family-passed court swordsmanship, or they are swordsmen of different schools with their own inheritance.
Since becoming Alleria's disciple, Freda has received the best teachings from the two major schools in the empire. It is not an exaggeration to describe her progress as a rapid progress. Now she rarely uses her full strength when practicing in the society, but only in every activity
Let’s do one last instructional battle. The leader of the fencing club is Logins from “Flemien Style”. His strength is between third and fourth in the fencing club, and he ranks third most of the time.
It was Ling's suggestion to determine the ranking based on the winning rate in the competition. The form of judging points by fighting against everyone is a bit like a competition. However, the fencing club is relatively closed and has not participated in any private martial arts conferences, so this is only within the club.
A small-scale ranking has no practical significance.
Ranked second is the former president of the fencing club, Mr. Grammont, who is about to graduate this year. Because he is the first heir to the Viscount family, I heard that he will return to inherit the family business after graduation.
To be precise, there are less than two months left in the last semester of the second-year class. In the style of Thors Noble Class 1, of course, they submitted their graduation project early, and these two months are their student time.
It's just the end.
"But I feel relieved that Instructor Ling is still here. Instructor Reinhardt and Sister Alleria haven't been to the club for several months." It was not at Alleria Le Guin's request, but Ling's.
As a reminder, Freda adopted the title of sister, and Alleria herself had no intention of objecting. Both Count Le Guin’s family and Freda’s family, Viscount Zillard’s family, are nobles of the Lamar State.
, even though they were just acquaintances who had contact at the banquet, over time, although they are master and apprentice, their relationship has become quite close.
"I heard that your master should be stationed at the Juno Sea Fortress. As for Levi, he should be leading his disciples to practice in seclusion somewhere in the empire."
The two of them have not appeared in Thorz since the Erebonia New Year Festival. Alleria was not Thorz's instructor in the first place, and Levi took a long leave. The martial arts course was taught by
Manlius, the deputy commander of the imperial guard division that Principal Van Dyck asked from Mattius, will temporarily serve as the deputy commander. So at this moment, among the three advisors who originally belonged to the fencing club, they can still show up at Thorz
Ling is the only one.
After indicating to Freda to be the club manager as usual, Ling stood aside and watched their training. Are all the students from the ***** country so strong? I haven't taken over related tasks before. It's really too much.
alright."
"The students of Thors are special. And they are all the elites of Thors here."
After replying to Ceria, Ling turned on the tactical force guide and checked the time. At the gathering time, after all thirteen people arrived, it was time for each to practice swordsmanship. The activities of the fencing club can be said to be
It's very boring, except for practicing it's just sword fighting. Although the form of useful points adds some fun, in essence it's still a change of soup without changing the medicine. This is a scenery that has not changed in more than two hundred years.
"...Late, relax your feet and don't exert so much force on your waist..."
Logins yelled hard. As a strong person and instructor in the club, he would also take the initiative to provide guidance to the weaker members. Freda, on the other hand, was practicing her footwork in circles while watching with interest.
Watching everyone compete in martial arts. Although it is in a small gymnasium, it actually feels like a dojo.
The work of a consultant originally included team building, conflict mediation, evaluation of students, motivating students, and guiding students. But the fencing club is a little different. There is no one who is too clumsy to ask questions.
I am a new student, and most of the questions I usually encounter have been asked in the previous two semesters, so the actual content is mainly about making an appropriate evaluation of each student's ability with his vicious eyes.
this matter.
Whether you have talent and whether your talent can bear fruit are two different things.
Ling thought so again.
People who make slow progress even if they work hard, people who make steady progress step by step even if their progress is very small, or people who rush forward without realizing their own foundation... Although this period of the fencing club is lucky
I have had the opportunity to witness the sword fighting between Reinhardt and Alleria many times, but it is not worth looking forward to how much they can absorb from it as their own nutrition. Fighting at a too high level is not that important to them at this stage.
It has many uses. There are indeed only a few people with savvy like Freda, but...
This can be said to be a style that goes well with Thorz's vigorous and simple style of study, as he continues to do so even when he is working hard.
"I serve as a club advisor in the fencing club, which is similar to the coach of a sports club. However, I don't plan to participate in any competitions to show myself, so the atmosphere here is quite pure. It is just a place for a group of people who like to study fencing."
Although Ling has already blazed her own path in swordsmanship, she does not think that those who have not reached the same level as her are inferior. She has absolutely rich experience in how to become stronger through training, but the research on swordsmanship
, and who dares to say that his own path is more correct than others.
"Looks like this. Are you just looking?"
"Scoring and evaluating the players is an important responsibility as a judge. But I am not particularly keen on distinguishing who is strong and who is weak. For me, the new ideas generated by the collision between sword edges
The new spark is one of the reasons I love watching them train."
"It feels like I understand something but not quite understand it."
It's probably a little too early for Ceria, who uses firearms as a means of combat, to understand the charm of martial arts. Ling clapped her hands, asked the members to gather, and then distributed the score sheet just now to everyone, on which she
The elements that each person needs to pay attention to during practice are also written down in handwriting. The parts that some people need to strengthen remain unchanged from the past, while some people have made up for their previous shortcomings very well, so they also received new tips.
.
After the club time was over and after greeting Dean Van Dyke, Ling set off for the airport of the imperial capital Heimdall. When she arrived, there was still half an hour before the flight ship "Lusitania" would leave the port. Before
The invitation letter she got from Conright allowed her to bring a companion on board the ship. After showing the invitation letter to the black-clad hunters who played the role of security guards, Ling boarded the spacecraft.
Letting Seria wait in the lounge room, Ling put on the mask required for the masquerade and followed the familiar scent to the top terrace area.
"Long time no see, Vita. And..."
Next to the lady wearing a butterfly mask, there is a green-haired girl wearing a red ball mask.
"Is it Mitina?"
Vita's chief disciple in magic, the child whom he and Vita often met when meeting each other in the imperial capital, was no longer a stranger to each other.
"Well, it's me. Long time no see, Sister Ling."
Although the new green-haired girl covered half of her face with a mask, her quirky appearance has already appeared in Ling's mind. She is a little more cheerful than when she met in the past. It seems that she has been living well in the imperial capital these years.
good.
"Aren't there classes at Astraea Women's Academy?"
"It's rare to have a one-day vacation, but it's okay. And with the capable senior Elise here, there shouldn't be any need for me, the nominal student president, to worry about student union matters."
Mitina is the student council president of the secondary department. She was elected not only because of her Duke family background, but also because of her personal abilities and her unique leadership qualities among girls.
"Let's not talk by our real names on this ship." Vita Clotilde said to Ling, "I am Missi now, and she is Miaojie now. And what about you?"
"Then just call me Miko."
Although both of them are wearing masks to hide their true identities, it seems more convincing if they even change their names.
"Misty came directly from the Imperial Capital Opera House, right? And...well, so to speak, you have been in the Imperial Capital recently?"
"About half of the month, what's wrong?"
"Because we originally planned to exchange information. But Miaojie is not an outsider, so it doesn't matter if we just talk about the "Fei" thing here? You are also concerned about the situation of "Gold" and "Purple", right?"
After hearing Ling's words, Vita frowned slightly.
"No, if that's the case, let's wait until after takeoff. Before that, we might as well go to the front hall to have some snacks."
"I agree. Because I was in such a hurry from school, I haven't even had lunch yet."
Mitina interrupted at the right time, stretched out her hands to wave to the two of them, and everyone moved along the stairs to the forward cabin.
