Son of the Tower

Chapter 16 Sword Dancer

Mars looked at the chest sticker representing his own number in his hand. After completing the re-examination, he was still digesting the new information he received.

Because he asked his mentor, he said that he didn't know the stargazer sequence, and then he looked through the database, saying that he couldn't find any information about this ancient sequence, but the sage said that there is no need to worry, the more In the large ancient sequence, there will be more nodes that can be selected and detoured, unlike those sequences that can only go one way to the end, so as long as Mars can work hard, he can gain more.

"Mars, you are here." Senior Brother Colt greeted Mars from afar, he was downstairs, and waved to Mars who was on the balcony on the second floor: "Come down, Mars .”

Mars nodded, and then jumped down. As Pansiao, Mars had high agility, so he was able to land smoothly and trotted all the way to his senior brother.

"Don't jump like this next time, it won't be good if you get injured and can't participate in the next training." The brother said.

Mars nodded, and then looked at his senior brother expectantly... He took out a stack of cards from his satchel on his chest, flipped through it, and handed one of the cards marked with one to Mars: " This is the personal card you use in the tower. There will be [-] standard currency pocket money every month. You can eat basic meals and training meals in the cafeteria for free. You can use it to unlock all the functions of the training ground, as well as your All test and training results will be recorded on it, so don’t lose it.”

Mars nodded vigorously, and then hooked the buckle of his personal card with the magnetic hook given to him by his senior brother to hang the rope chain around his neck.

"Your practice clothes will be delivered to your room later." The brother said and patted Mars on the head, then went to find other children.

Mars turned his head and was about to run to the training ground - what boys like most is shooting guns.

"Ah, by the way, the instructor asked you to go to the sword skills training ground to find him, you know that right." Brother Colt reminded him from behind.

………………

There is no gun to fight.

Mars was sad, but at the same time he was looking forward to it.

Because in the process of deep diving, apart from obtaining an ancient sequence called Stargazer, the only thing left is the doubt that I seem to have learned swordsmanship.

Because of this, Mars's mentor came to Mars, and it just so happened that Mars also wanted to know if he had really learned swordsmanship.

So, when Mars stood on the training ground again, with the expectation of his instructor, he looked at Mr. Administrator in front of him with a special light training sword.

The latter appears to have a brand new shell, and it looks sad with a training stick in its hand.

"Mr. Administrator, good afternoon." Mars greeted.

"Ah, kid, good afternoon, I'm sorry, my memory has just been reset, and I am now the same as I was two days ago. Are we familiar?" Mr. Administrator asked.

Mars' eyes widened and he didn't consciously look at Mrs. Celine who was standing beside Xianzhe Yu.

"Administrator Fifteen, if you lie to the children again, I will really break you." Mrs. Celine crossed her arms and looked at Mr. Administrator with contempt. It came down to her face.

The latter bowed his head, bent his knees, and begged for mercy in the most standard Sidao soil seat.

"Okay, Administrator Fifteen, you can start."

Upon hearing Yu Xianzhe's order, Mr. Administrator immediately jumped up and swept the stick in his hand towards Mars.

Mars subconsciously parried the blow, holding the body of the sword with his left hand, lunged sideways, and hit the chest of Mr. Administrator, who was caught off guard, with the hilt of the sword.

"Fort Carter's military swordsmanship, the first century-old version after the end of the era of great destruction, the military sword at that time had the front half of the sword body edged, and the user could grab the unedged sword body and use the hilt as a light hammer Hit the enemy." Another old man with the appearance of a house goblin beside Xianzhe Yu seemed to recognize the sword technique used by Mars.

"It is indeed Carterburg military swordsmanship. Even in modern times, some non-commissioned officer families of Carterburg who have a long history are still using half-edged non-commissioned officer swords." Madam Celine, who was standing with her chest crossed, also affirmed this point of view. She looked at Mars , with a satisfied smile on his face: "Well done, Mars, if you weren't too short, you should have hit Administrator Fifteen on the head with the hilt of your sword."

Mars hesitated: "I, I don't really know, I really don't have any memory about all this, I just remember that I practiced swordsmanship."

"No problem, child, you can try out some tricks with administrator fifteen again." Yu Xianzhe ordered.

Now that the sage mentor said so, Mars held the sword again. This time, Mars gave way to Administrator [-]'s slashing. While his body was subconsciously making movements, the long sword in his hand began to rotate with his body. And turning, in the end, Mars turned and slashed sideways this time, and was blocked by Administrator Fifteen.

"Insufficient strength." Administrator Fifteen's calm voice had a hint of trill.

"Okay, Mars, don't try again, starting tomorrow, you will learn swordsmanship from Administrator Fifteen."

"Can I shoot?" Mars asked happily.

"Of course you can, but you have to practice swordsmanship first. We want you to take the initiative to use everything you have learned in the deep dive, understand." Of course, Mars kept everything Yu Xianzhe said in mind, and after confirming After he could go to the shooting range, Mars put the weapon in his hand on the empty shelf before running away from the training ground.

"In this day and age, children prefer to use guns." A similar person beside Yu Xianzhe said with a smile.

"Times have changed. When the guns in the hands of the public are no longer second-hand guns that are shot and reloaded, young people start to like guns more." Mrs. Celine sighed when she said this: "But look at it again. When it comes to the sword dance, it still surprises me."

"I really didn't expect that I could see a child perform the moves of a sword dancer. If the Mars student was an adult, the small wooden stick in my hand and myself would definitely be shattered and knocked down by this blow." Administrator Fifteen expressed his opinion at this time.

"Yes, if he has the Carterburg alloy sword in his hand, a qualified Carterburger cadet can split your unprotected mechanical body in half." Yu Xianzhe clapped his hands at this point. : "Okay, only a few of us know about this matter, and it is said to the outside world that you taught it by Administrator Shiwu, remember?"

"Of course, be careful, sir." After Administrator Fifteen finished speaking, a smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face: "I haven't seen such a talented child for a long time, and I will teach him well. .”
