Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 97
As soon as the words came out, the originally chaotic and noisy student queue suddenly became dead silent.

Most of them are native Rodels, and they are descendants of nobles with respected status. They have more or less understanding of the big men who can't be provoked in the capital, so no one will question the decision of the Ortapis knights. Protest - dare not even question.

As one of the oldest and most powerful heroes in the entire continent, although the chief of the melting pot is in the old party, even the top nobles in the new party such as Duke Duoris would never dare to underestimate him. Not to mention these young nobles who are still inexperienced.

What really confused and frightened them was that the Ordopis knights would be so ruthless on the first day of the private royal school, as if they didn't take their backgrounds seriously at all. The somewhat "gold-plated" private school also instantly became harsh.

In front of the queue, the expressions of the eighteen expelled noble children changed several times, but in the end they could only salute the old man respectfully, and then quickly left the venue.

What they have to consider is not only how they will be punished by their parents when they go back, but more importantly, whether their actions will offend the Otaupis knights, which in turn will bring adverse effects to the family.

In a noble family where interests are paramount, once they are identified as obstacles to the development and continuation of the family, no matter how noble their bloodlines are, they will be ruthlessly abandoned, and even become victims of political transactions.

"Some people may be a little confused, why your family paid such a high price to send you here, but I still treat you so unkindly, now I will give you an answer—"

"This is different from any kind of environment you are familiar with. It is not a graceful ball, it is not a fighting arena full of orders, and it is not a vanity fair full of dirty transactions. No matter which highness your goal is to become a vassal, or Build a good relationship with the future nobles and dignitaries of the dynasty as soon as possible, and forget about it now-because I tell you clearly, everyone who has such thoughts will definitely not be able to stay until the end!"

"The only ones who can stay here are the heroes of the golden tree, the famous generals of the dynasty, and the mages and scholars who can push this era to a higher peak. So, forget about those unrealistic fly-by-tailers, and do a good job in a down-to-earth manner. Every mission of yours!"

The old man glanced at everyone coldly, "From now on, I don't want to see the situation like today again, understand?"

"Understood!" More than two hundred students shouted in unison.

The expression of the Otaupis knight calmed down a little, and immediately began today's formal lecture.

The course on the first day is mainly to teach the basics of Rodel's swordsmanship. As one of the three major swordsmanship in the mainland, it is also the most basic part of the entire gold series of combat skills. Contains a large number of ingenious and clumsy swordsmanship principles.

Although many students from aristocratic families had been exposed to this swordsmanship beforehand, after hearing a master of the level of Ortapis Knights personally teach them, they realized that their original understanding of swordsmanship was full of loopholes, so they learned it from scratch.

Not to mention the few children from poor families, they cherished the opportunity to attend the private school of the royal family very much, and regarded it as a step to enter the upper class in the future, and they had already learned it like a fascination.

The courses of the Ordopis Knights are not just dry theoretical explanations, but also a lot of vivid demonstrations and analysis of their own past battles, and sometimes students are arranged to practice in random combinations.

During this process, Lucia and Lataen naturally fought hard. Mikaela and Lani had already determined their respective areas of intensive study, and attending the combat skills course was only to expand their knowledge, and did not actually participate in the battle.Greco still maintained a disdainful attitude towards the other demigods, and he found his younger brother Grafya and the only son of Duke Duoris, Carlisle, for training.

In the end, it was Lakad who formed a team with Marenia under the two-way coercion of his sister and Lucia, and picked up a pair of wooden shields and wooden swords with a sad face to meet the little girl's attack, which she claimed was a storm.

"Lucia, did you use the teacher's eternal swordsmanship in that move just now? I think it can be improved here." Lataen was gesticulating while discussing the details of the sword move with Lucia, when he suddenly heard something behind him. A cry of pain came from afar.

"Ah—" Lakad yelled and dropped the wooden sword in his hand, grabbed the palm of his right hand with his left hand and jumped on the ground a few times, glaring at Marlenia and said in annoyance: "It's the third time, It's the third time!"

"What's the third time?" Lataen leaned over curiously, carrying the unopened steel sword for training.

"She chopped off my right ring finger three times in a row, each time at the same position!" Lakad pointed to Marenia and complained, "If I suppress my strength to the same level as hers, I will be punished by her!" Hacked!"

Rataen pulled his younger brother's hand, and saw a clearly visible red mark on the knuckle of his ring finger. From his eyes, he could naturally see that this was the mark caused by three strikes, but the positions where the three strikes fell were all different. Incomparably accurate, the error between each other is less than the width of a hair.

"It's amazing!" Lataen was a little surprised. He turned his head and looked at Marenia, who was holding a wooden sword and holding a small mouth, who was so frightened that she was about to cry, and exclaimed: "How did you do that?" of?"

"Brother, are you focusing on the wrong thing? I should criticize her first, not to comfort her—"

"You shut up first."

"Oh."

Seeing that Marenia was a little nervous and unable to answer, Lucia walked up to her and knelt down, stroked her hair lightly, and said softly: "Your Brother Ratan is praising you for using the sword well, tell us , why can you cut to the same position every time you draw your sword?"

"Because." The little girl organized her words and whispered, "Because brother Lakade's right ring finger is his weakness!"

"flaw?"

In astonishment, Lucia exchanged a glance with Mikaela who was helping Lakad to heal his fingers. He had heard of Marenia's insight talent named "Eye of Mind" a long time ago. Now it seems that she has no Master Zitong used this ability in actual combat?

"Where did the flaw come from, I think you are just a coincidence!" Lakad, who was healed, shook his hand and questioned with a face full of disbelief.

"It's indeed a flaw—although brother Lakad reproduced the move that the Otaupis knight just said just now, but every time you finish the shield strike and switch to the right-hand straight sword to counterattack, the smoothness of the connection will be slightly poor Some, the ring finger happens to be the last point to exert force," Marenia explained bluntly, "so, I took this opportunity to slash you with the sword, so that I slashed at the same place every time."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and stuck out her tongue, saying, "I'm sorry, I will pay attention to using less effort next time."

Latarn's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he stretched out his hand and patted Lakad on the back of the head, "Understood? I said earlier that your swordsmanship is a mess, let me correct it!"

"I" Lakad looked aggrieved. He was thinking that his elder brother used to teach him swordsmanship by beating him up. After the beating, he said that he couldn't get enough of the practice and had to practice again. He didn't know what was wrong with him!
But carefully recalling the situation during the duel just now, it seems that there is indeed a flaw in the transition of offense and defense that Marenia said, but she is a little cripple who has just stood up from a wheelchair for less than a month—— er, little girl , Why can you beat him violently when the strength is equal!

What about using less effort?This day can't be passed!
