Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 287 Civilian Genius Robert

As for why Academy City arranged for this super genius to live with them, it might be because the three of them are rather special.

Owen was the first Northland nobleman to enroll, Peters was the son of the sponsor of Academy City, and Cowles had a special heritage, so it seemed normal to add a super talented commoner student.

It's a pity that the three of Owen didn't like this super genius named Robert. Even though he was very polite, the alienation and boredom in his eyes couldn't be hidden from the three of them.

Peters was very familiar with this gaze, and even knew the other party's psychological journey clearly, but he still got the other party's information through his relationship to confirm his guess.

Robert is a standard country boy, and he didn't even have a decent name before he came to Academy City. If he didn't have that opportunity, he would be no different from other sons of common people. He would either farm at home or become a buddy.

But he was lucky. When the lord was hunting, he saw him killing two goblins with a hatchet without injury, so he let him go with the hounds of the hunting team, and then witnessed him killing two goblins with a hatchet. An adult Timberwolf disemboweled.

Robert, who successively showed good talents, successfully won the appreciation of the lord, and only then did he have the opportunity to study in the academy city.

In fact, this experience is nothing. There are countless commoner students with similar experiences in the academy city. Otherwise, how would they get the chance? It's just that their excitement and expectations for the future will soon be shattered by reality.

It is true that the academy city cultivates geniuses, but it is impossible to distribute all resources equally. This is fair, but it also prevents the diamonds hidden in the golden sands from shining. Therefore, various eliminations and tests start from the first day of admission The day begins.

It is conceivable how much pressure civilian students who lack foundation will face in the academy city, especially when compared with noble students who have no worries about food and clothing.

However, with the passage of time, even if the idea that nobles are superior to ordinary people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, as the strength of ordinary students grows, the original idea will also be shaken. After all, they are very aware of most noble students. Hard power is not as good as them.

This change in thinking is unavoidable, because ordinary people of civilian origin and professional workers of civilian origin are not the same concept at all, because the latter has the ability to resist.

The conflict of ideas and identities between civilian students and noble students is constantly staged in the academy city. Some people sink, some transcend, some gain, and some lose everything. The academy city only limits the conflict within a certain range, but has no intention of stopping it. This further boosted the confidence of talented civilian students in the fight for rights and identities.

Obviously Robert is a supporter of this belief. As a commoner, he is unwilling to be a dog of a nobleman. Every time he dreams of running with the lord's hound in the forest, it is an inspiration to him.

But at this time, his own strength is not enough to make Robert directly equal to the noble students, which is why his performance is so weird.

In fact, there is another reason. Peters, who changes people in his arms every day, Cowles, who is a little weak, and Owen, who is ostentatious. In Robert's eyes, they are all a bunch of waste who can only rely on their ancestors. , except wealth, except territory, except people, except
Anyway, Robert just looked down on them. If the identities of the two parties were switched, he would definitely do better than the other party. He would not waste any time, nor would he let down those precious resources.

It's a pity that he is still too immature, and this idea can't be hidden from Peters, nor can it be hidden from Owen and Cowles, so the three of them have no idea of ​​pulling him into a small circle, and let him go alone.

Before dawn, Robert had already gotten up, and began to put on the slightly old protective gear on his body.

Compared with Peters' flamboyant room, Robert's room can no longer be described as shabby. Apart from the original basic furniture and furnishings, there are only personal items that he can only describe as shabby.

This is because he is a gifted student with a lot of subsidies. More civilian students have to spend time and money to take advanced courses while taking basic courses. As for the cost of advanced courses, they are no longer affordable, even if Robert is not there. Before being noticed by the academy city, he could not take advanced courses a few times a year, which was also where the conflicts between commoner students and noble students lay.

Taking a weighted practice sword to the open space in the backyard of the villa, Robert began boring basic swordsmanship training.

I have to say that Robert's title of genius is not for nothing. Even though he has become the idol of many commoner students, and even though many noble students handed him olive branches, he still maintains daily basic swordsmanship training, because he always remembers the first time he came to Academy City. What a fencing teacher said to him.

The swordsman teacher was also from a commoner background, so after seeing Robert's talent, he specifically spoke to him.

In fact, those words were very simple. The swordsmanship teacher just told him clearly that with his background, it was impossible for him to get in touch with advanced swordsmanship and grudge before he showed enough value.

At the same time, tell him not to underestimate basic swordsmanship, because any advanced swordsmanship is developed on the basis of swordsmanship, if he wants to fill the gap with noble students who have been exposed to advanced swordsmanship since childhood, he must invest ten times in basic swordsmanship Only in this way can there be hope of catching up.

Robert has always remembered these words, although his energy on basic swordsmanship is not as exaggerated as ten times, but it is two or three times more than that of the students in the same period.

One day or two days, there is no gap. After three to five years, it is no longer a gap, but a mountain.

Even if the students in the same period have started to get in touch with advanced swordsmanship, Robert still has a huge advantage. He even defeated students who used advanced swordsmanship many times with basic swordsmanship, which also made him invest more energy in basic swordsmanship.

Because of the inspiration, Owen, who had been busy all night in the secret room of the dungeon, came to the window with dark circles and brought coffee to the window to get some air. He happened to see Robert training.

Although he hasn't practiced combat skills much, it doesn't mean that Owen doesn't know anything about it. On the contrary, his eyesight is very good, and he can see that Robert's foot is very stable. Apparently it has long since become muscle memory.

"If you continue to practice like this, you will be useless." Owen pushed open the window, squinted his eyes in the morning sun, and then said with a sip of coffee.

Robert paused, and instead of swearing at each other or turning away directly as Owen imagined, he said after a moment of silence.

"The new fencing master told you the same thing."

"Well, your foundation is very solid, but it is too solid for your age. This will make it difficult for you to get rid of the limitations of basic swordsmanship when you learn advanced swordsmanship." Owen also pays attention to the foundation, otherwise he will not let go of his territory The academy city was rebuilt, but focusing on the basics did not mean that they had been working on the basics, even if it was the same for swordsmanship.

"Once you have a foundation, you need to be exposed to more changes, otherwise you will never be able to break through the cage you built for yourself." Owen knows that the epee has no front, and the tricks are useless. The problem is that no one has such a state. , It’s all done step by step. It’s undoubtedly a dream to stand on the highest peak just relying on the foundation. It’s really that easy.
