It has been an hour since the combat training started in this extremely free martial arts course.
But no matter who he was, he could not defeat the clone in front of him before the time limit for the instructor's clone reached and disappeared.
Reinhardt did not strike hard, and the clone's attacks were all very restrained, and most of the time he stayed on the defensive. Therefore, the students only felt a little pain where they were hit, but were not really injured.
.
"The level gap between us and the instructors is too big. We can't win at all. We are just being tortured on one side." Even though she has a certain foundation in palace swordsmanship, Felice's actual combat level is the worst among these people. She is completely
I'm not sure what the point of this kind of training is.
Others, such as Patrick, had the same idea. Reinhardt saw their looks and began to explain how the course was taught.
"There are two ways to get credits in my martial arts class. One is to learn the "Hundred Styles" step by step like the students in other classes. This process requires 400 hours of study and must be proven through a series of assessments.
As officer cadets, you already have the ability to teach "Hundred Styles" to new recruits in the army. The second way to obtain credits for this course is much simpler. As long as you defeat my clone once, you will get full marks for this course.
You can pass without taking any additional courses."
"What if I can't win in the end?" Phyllis's worry is not unreasonable. She practices martial arts just as a tradition for a noble family in a martial empire, not to become a first-rate master.
"As long as you defeat three students in other classes who are studying "Hundred Styles" in the practical test two years later, you can also get credits. For those of you who already have the foundation, you can achieve this goal through two years of training.
It’s not difficult, but I don’t want you to pass it this way.”
"Instructor, what do you mean when you say you don't want it?" Phyllis continued to ask.
"After all, Torz is a place that trains officers for the army. Although most of you... or even all of you, will not join the army after graduation. But this does not mean that your future has nothing to do with war. Strictly
Generally speaking, this Semilia has always been in war, regardless of your will. Under the general trend, the Erebonian Empire and the Kalvard Republic, which are constantly accumulating military power, will eventually have a war. If one day they are
Forced into a fight, having strength and not having strength are completely different situations."
When Reinhardt said this, he remembered what happened to him twelve years ago. If he was strong enough to kill all the attackers at that time... Although he has this power now, after all,
There is no going back to the past.
"Finding a fighting style that suits you is also a kind of training. You are all students who already have a basic foundation. Learning "Hundred Styles" again will not bring you any substantial improvement. Becoming stronger is not a path, and you do not have to learn from others.
, but you can realize it on your own. And the best place to realize it is during a battle. So I will continue to provide you with such opportunities."
He won't teach any special skills, he will only let the students experience them in battle. This is the method adopted by Reinhardt.
It is different from the progress in the underground martial arts arena of the old school building.
The members of Class 7 on the playground are still doing the most basic physical exercises. Even Elliot and others, who have initially learned what "martial arts" is through learning self-defense techniques, are also doing frog jumps and tumbling like others.
Such boring physical movements. Under Reinhardt's watch, they will be trained to the point of exhaustion but not to the point of leaving physical damage.
The four hundred hours of study are not taught strictly according to the progress of the game. Instead, they are divided into several steps. The first stage is to improve physical fitness enough to meet the needs of combat. The second stage is to pass
The practice of basic postures improves reaction and hand-eye coordination. The third stage is to study all the moves of "Hundred Styles", select the most suitable combinations and match them, and form your own fighting style. The fourth stage is to join the army and serve as
Trainee officers teach the "Hundred Styles" to the recruits who enlist in the army that year. If you are an officer candidate, this is one of the things you need to do if you really enter the army. The four stages are not completely separated. Physical training
Although the learning of basic postures will be started after you are first asked and your physical fitness reaches the standard, it does not mean that you no longer need to exercise after your physical fitness reaches the standard, but it should continue until the end. The second stage and the third stage are also
In this way, the fourth stage of "officer internship" is the shortest part.
During the Hundred Days War twelve years ago, Reinhardt squeezed his body like crazy during the days when he was under house arrest by the Imperial Army and had nothing to do, and finally reached and exceeded the limits of his body. In the days when he had nothing to do,
He did various exercises every day until he passed out. He was sixteen years old at that time, about the same age as the students at the Military Academy.
His experience is not universal. In fact, even if he does the same thing, he still cannot reach his level. This is due to talent. Not everyone has the talent to open the body's secrets and inspire fighting spirit. But no one has the talent.
If you try it, you won’t know whether it’s possible or not. What’s more, anyone with good health can achieve an above-average body through exercise.
Even Altina, who currently falls to the floor from exhaustion every five minutes of exercise, seems to him to be a diamond in the rough that can grow up quickly, let alone others.
"Compared to Ling's teachings, this is already very gentle."
Reinhardt thought of his adopted sister who was away from Thorz because she had something to do today. That kind of exercise that goes to the limits of human beings is not something everyone can try easily. At least he has not planned to abuse the students in this way.
◇
On the basement floor of the old school building, Reinhardt explained what the members of Class 7 would do in their weekly martial arts classes over the next two years. Although they were still a little confused, everyone understood that the instructor was not simply torturing people.
With her physical strength almost restored, Xie Li couldn't wait to invite a fight immediately. The red-haired girl didn't care what the other students thought, she just wanted to start the fight as soon as possible.
What the instructor said was what she already knew. On the battlefield, most of the rookie hunters died in the first few battles. If they were "lucky" to find their own way of fighting, they could occasionally escape from the harsh battles.
Survived. Shelly has already overcome this hurdle, so she can survive until now.
But she was not satisfied with this. She wanted to become stronger, catch up with her father and uncle, or even surpass them. After seeing Landigo's fall in the Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture, she made a new determination.
She wants to do what that person failed to do, and she wants to rely on her own ability to gain the title of "God of Fighting".
Frankly speaking, although that clone is difficult to deal with, if "Red Skull" is in hand, she has at least a 30% chance of winning. But in her own opinion, the problem is exactly the same.
Whenever she encounters a problem, she wants to rely on the powerful power of the "Red Skull" to solve it. Ever since she got the "Red Skull", she has become too dependent on it, so much so that without it by her side, her progress is very slow.
She couldn't become a "new God of War" in this way. After realizing that she couldn't easily surpass her father by relying only on the hunter method, she decided to learn again from various ways to become stronger.
Compared to her father, who attacks indiscriminately, Instructor Reinhardt, a human punching bag, is of course the best training target. At least in her opinion, being able to constantly fight with this powerful and terrifying instructor is completely earned.
Seeing the instructor's clone coming in front of her again, blazing flame fighting energy exploded around Shelly, and she charged in without hesitation with a long sword in hand.
◇
Unlike Shelly next door, who did not hesitate to use her fighting spirit to improve her physical abilities and fight with a violent attitude. The silver-haired girl was much quieter here. She did not rely on high-speed movement to create combat opportunities like before, but quietly
He stood there quietly, adjusting his breath over and over again.
"If you were practicing other kata-ryu, with your physical ability, it would not be difficult to win. But if you want to use the "Swallow Return" I created, the difficulty is completely different. For you, it is different from
Fighting opponents of the same type is the most difficult problem."
The clone standing in front of Fei told the reason why the girl's attack was completely controlled before. Fei was just a beginner in the "Swallow" form, and was still far from Levi's "Swallow Return" state. There was no advantage in technique and speed.
Unable to suppress it, the offensive was easily broken up.
"Hmm. So I'm thinking about how I should fight to win. Among the techniques I learned from my master, there is no trick to slow down and fight fast. I also don't have the physical fitness of my master to use 'last first' at will."
.But there is a trick, I plan to try it."
Fei's figure disappeared from the place.
Then he appeared next to Reinhardt. The silver-haired girl's figure was split open by the pale-blond young man with a sword, but the one who was hit was an afterimage.
"oh?"
One, two, three... a total of six Fei surrounded Reinhardt at the same time, and then launched continuous attacks in a high-speed coordinated manner.
"Have you also learned how to 'clone'?"
Although he was attacked by six times the number, Reinhardt did not panic, but used sword skills far superior to Fei's to skillfully resolve their attacks one by one.
After the first round of attacks failed, the number of clones doubled again, but the connection process was not as smooth as before. Gradually, all "Xiao Fei"'s movements became the same, launching attacks from all directions at the same time.
However, at the next moment, Reinhardt swept away half of the "Xiao Fei" with a sharp sword energy, causing them to turn into illusions and disappear in the sword energy. The remaining few retreated immediately when they saw that the situation was not going well.
Then they merged into one person again.
"My combat skills are a little different from yours. I have learned Miss Dubarry's attack methods and made some improvements. This is my "Phantom Troupe", but I haven't mastered it yet."
"Nice usage. But you can't defeat me this way."
"I know, in fact, I don't plan to complete my practice in a short time. Master said that it is impossible to have strength in a short time. I just take the opportunity to complete my unfinished practice through actual combat. Even if I do
No, I also want to show the results of my practice."
Fei rarely had the opportunity to find a real master to train with. After all, Ling was not the type to slowly teach her apprentices the moves. As long as she confirmed that Fei had learned the "kata" of Hamel style, she would let Fei practice on his own.
It's a pity that there is no one in the West Wind Troupe who can keep up with her speed.
Using Levi's true body as an enemy is a little too difficult, but the level of the clone is just right for her.
◇
Rean's situation is a little different from everyone else's.
"I can see that you still have reservations. But such half-heartedness will only give others an opportunity."
The clone's straight stab easily broke through Li En's golden red fighting spirit, and the sword's spine struck him back ten steps.
"No, I have already tried my best. It's not that I am holding back...actually I have no way to control that."
Standing up again with the sword in his hand, Li En answered the instructor in front of him with a wry smile.
"Really? Then, before you learn how to use that power, you must learn how to draw out that power. Or do you have other plans?"
"Well, the practice of swordsmanship has nothing to do with that. My life density is too thin and my experience is very insufficient. Please continue to guide me, Instructor Reinhardt."
In fact, it's not that it's completely impossible, it's just that Rean doesn't want to do it. At this time, he still has a long way to go before he can make up his mind to face it.
