Wizard's journey

Chapter 12: Wren vs Thick Eyebrows

Three days later.

As Wren gradually released the lv2 level of swordsmanship, the swordsmanship instructor Humbert basically determined that Wren had a very high comprehension of swordsmanship.

To put it bluntly, Wren is a swordsmanship genius, at least a beginner genius, one in a hundred!

This can't help but make Humbert a little impressed with Wren.

"Today, we're going to start swordsmanship sparring!"

"In swordsmanship, if you want to improve quickly, you need someone to spar you. And the opponent of the sparring partner should not be too casual, it is best to have the same strength, in this way, the promotion of your swordsmanship is the greatest. Humbert's determined voice rang out on the training ground.

"Wren, Richard, you two come up to demonstrate the sparring, and the others are optimistic!" Humbert famously.

The name of the thick eyebrows is none other than Richard.

"Yes, teach!" The two said in unison.

After saying that, the two of them quickly stepped out of the ranks, and at the front of the team, they simultaneously put on a basic swordsmanship starting style, and the tips of the two ironwood swords were aimed at each other.

Richard, however, has an indescribable sense of anxiety and irritability about Wren's recent changes.

When he was repairing the donkey's hooves and nailing the horseshoe before, Wren was sharp, and he didn't care at all.

Because his goal is to protect the manor, which can be seen from the fact that he has learned basic swordsmanship from his relatives in advance in the past two years.

But what he didn't expect was that when it came time for swordsmanship training, Wren actually attracted the attention of swordsmanship instructor Humbert again.

He can't accept this!

Wren's rapid progress has mixed various emotions such as anger, jealousy, and unwillingness in his heart in the past few days.

"If this continues, this kid from Rennes will become a strong competitor sooner or later."

Richard thought to himself, he didn't believe that Wren would choose to give up if he had the opportunity to compete for the position of guard.

Just on the occasion of sparring, he can "mistakenly injure" Wren, and it is best that he can't even hold the sword?!

Suddenly, Richard's face showed a hint of ruthlessness!

"Let's go!"

As soon as Humbert's words fell, Wren and Richard stabbed their swords at the same time, but Wren immediately noticed that Richard's sword speed was slightly faster.

This is because of the opponent's height and long hands, as well as the advantage caused by more skilled basic swordsmanship.

Immediately, Wren quickly changed his move and used his strong sword body to block a straight stab from the opponent.

“*！”

When the ironwood swords clashed, there was a dull sound.

Wren took three steps back, and Richard only took one step back, and it was clear that Richard had the upper hand.

Richard's face is pale! No matter how talented you are, if you want to beat me, it will take at least half a year.

But Wren's face was calm, and he had expected this situation.

First of all, from the perspective of height, the thick eyebrows are nearly a head taller than Wren, and the arm span has naturally grown a lot.

This is very advantageous in swordsmanship. Secondly, Thick Eyebrow has studied basic swordsmanship for nearly two years or so, and it is not comparable to his current basic swordsmanship at level lv2.

Wren estimated that Thick Eyebrow's swordsmanship level should be at or near lv3.

"If you don't improve your swordsmanship level, you will definitely lose this battle!"

"What is the purpose of Humbert's teaching to let me practice against thick eyebrows this time? Failing to catch up? Pushing your potential even further? ”

"***!"

Wren has resisted many attacks by thick eyebrows in a row, which can be said to be dangerous!

Although it will not be life-threatening, the heavy blow of the ironwood sword can also make people feel painful!

Humbert on the side was holding his hands on his chest and watching the two fight expressionlessly, although he had already judged in his heart that if there was no accident, this battle should be won by thick eyebrows.

And Rennes, who has experienced setbacks, should be able to catch up!

At this time, the tall Claire took the lead, and led a group of nobles and wealthy merchants' heirs to ride horses into the outer castle from the outside, as if she had just finished her equestrian training.

Condescendingly, they also apparently saw that two of the child servants were fighting.

Ren, who was sweating profusely, had long been aware of the hostility of the thick eyebrows, as well as the other party's intention to deliberately attack his head several times. "Grass! Holding it back? No wonder this grandson has been so stop these days, it turns out that he is waiting for me here! ”

Wren decisively used a skill point to increase the basic sword technique from lv2 to lv3.

The basic swordsmanship of level 3 is much improved compared to the increase in level 1 → level 2!

In an instant, Wren felt the ironwood sword in his hand, giving himself a feeling like an arm!

It feels like the sword in your hand is an extension of your arm!

Richard, on the other side, found that Wren was stunned for a moment, and secretly said "good opportunity", and immediately, he slashed down towards Wren.

Wren once again blocked with his strong sword.

“*！”

Two ironwood swords clashed, making a dull sound.

But this time, Wren caught it steadily and didn't retreat!

Richard took advantage of the reaction force during the exchange of blows, took advantage of the situation, and turned around, that is, he spun down and slashed again, and slashed at the left eye of Rennes again, and the action was extremely fast.

Richard was in a very happy mood at this time!

This move is a super-level performance under his current level of swordsmanship.

There is absolutely no way for Wren to resist it!

At that time, you only need to pretend that you accidentally injured the other party and act in a scene!

Hehe, the nickname One-Eyed Wren is not bad either!

The corners of Richard's mouth turned up with a slight amplitude!

And this note suddenly made the onlookers exclaim.

George looked at Wren even more worriedly, wondering if his friend could resolve this trick.

Swordsmanship instructor Humbert is also ready to stop this sword!

But I found that I seemed to be a little too late!

Because Richard's move is not in the basic swordsmanship, it is a derivative change of the basic swordsmanship.

Wren was suddenly startled in his heart, and suddenly his waist exerted force, instinctively leaned back quickly, and used his strong sword body to stop in front of him again, blocking Richard's sharp blow.

Then, with the strength of his abdominal muscles, he suddenly got up and quickly counterattacked.

"Smack!"

Richard's sword-gripping wrist was struck hard by Wren, and the wooden sword in his hand fell in response!

The situation reversed so quickly that the child servants were stunned!!

All of a sudden, there was silence around!

"Huh! This kind of instinctive swordsmanship intuition is really a good seedling for cultivating swordsmanship! Humbert was both surprised and excited at the moment.

In the distance, Claire, the youngest daughter of the Count of Habsburg, also had a gleam in her eyes.

"I remember that Shadia said that this black-haired boy seems to be named Wren, and his father is a tenant of the manor, very good, and innocent, perhaps....... Can you try to cultivate? ”

If she is really talented, she will not be stingy to give the other party a chance.

But....... Whether you can seize the opportunity or not depends on the performance of the other party.

"Wren wins!" Humbert, a swordsmanship instructor, immediately announced in a loud voice, with approval on his face.

Richard looked at Wren's back as he turned around and left the field expressionlessly, and a trace of resentment arose in his heart, "Wren, be proud!" Wait for me!! ”

He had once again thought of a way to deal with Wren in his heart!

Originally, he disdained to do this, but this kid Ren has improved too fast!

It's so fast that it scares his heart!

His family has run a tavern for many years, and thick eyebrows himself knows a lot of people who are third-rate and ninth-rate, such as the drunkard Jack is a very good candidate, he used to be a mercenary, and his skills are extraordinary!

Rennes, who walked off the field, suddenly received a system prompt, which immediately surprised him!

[Your skill base swordsmanship is improved, experience points +17]

[You have experienced a battle, Militia class experience +9]

In a sparring session, the professional experience points were increased by 9 points, which is almost the effect of two days of training!

It seems that what Humbert taught is not wrong at all, and constantly competing with opponents of the same level as himself is the shortcut to quickly improve swordsmanship!
