Chapter 36 Consciousness
After the training, I also came to my own conclusion. Maple's potential is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people. If she can persist in training like today, coupled with her own ambition and fighting spirit, she will become like a school student.
It is not impossible for people at the top level.
"Practice is over, but Feng, you can keep up with my training, I really have to praise you."
"Huh...huh...huh...thank you...thank you, Senior Leon, for your...praise...praise..."
Feng was out of breath even more than last time. I must have suffered a lot from my training.
"How was it? Today's training."
"To be honest... it's really scary, in every sense of the word. Even if Senior Leon is holding just a broken sword in his hand, it still gives people a very scary feeling."
"No wonder, Feng, try this broken sword."
I handed the broken sword in my hand to Feng, and Feng carefully took the broken sword from my hand, and then... after she took the broken sword, she almost dodged it.
"Lei...Senior Leon, did you use such a sword to fight me just now?"
At this time, Nana beside me also said on my behalf: "My brother's broken sword is about 4 or 5 times heavier than an ordinary sword, and in order to test what kind of fighting type Feng belongs to, my brother specially made it
Use this broken sword."
"So...does Senior Leon care about me so much?"
Feng's eyes were full of emotion when she looked at me. She also thanked me and returned the Broken Sword and Jörmungandr to me.
"Senior Leon, can I ask you a question? Who are you? I have seen many competitions between students at the top level before, but even among the top rankings, there are few who are as good as Leon.
Senior, who is such a skilled person, who is Senior Leon?"
"Feng, it might be better if you don't know about my affairs. Just think that I am a senior who has just transferred to Yueyou Academy and has some skills and nosy."
"oh……"
Feng still looked unrelieved. At this time, in order to change the topic, I asked Feng first: "Feng, have you ever accidentally hurt others with a weapon in the past?"
When asked this question, Feng's expression changed instantly. It seems... my guess is correct.
"Based on the last fight and this one, I discovered a problem. When I fought with you last time, you could fight normally with a non-lethal weapon. But this time, I lent Jörmungandr to
You, your movements are obviously slow."
"..."
There are slight differences in the movements between the two fights. It may be difficult for others to notice, but I can.
"Feng, if you really want to become stronger, you have to give up your original fighting style. Stop counterattacking blindly and learn to attack proactively."
"Senior Leon means that I am a coward, right?"
There was already a hint of crying in Feng's tone. I also know that my tone is a bit tough now, but... this is also a fact. I am giving these opinions for her own good.
"I didn't say that, what I meant was... Feng, you are too gentle. You are not afraid of getting hurt yourself, but you are afraid of hurting others."
Kindness is a good thing for ordinary people, but if someone aims to become a knight, this kind of kindness will actually become an obstacle.
"Senior Leon is really amazing."
"Ah? What?"
"I actually really want to become stronger, but...I'm afraid of hurting other people. Isn't it strange?"
"But you said you want to become stronger, right?"
"Yes, but I have always been afraid of hurting other people, so I have always been suppressed and beaten by others, so...unknowingly, I feel whether I am really weaker than others, whether I am just a
Useless person...until I met you, Senior Leon, who made me regain my confidence. Thank you, Senior Leon."
Feng's sudden thanks made me at a loss for a moment, and Nana next to me gave me a smile. I could also see the meaning in that smile. It was a kind of
Proud, because I have such an outstanding brother, I feel proud too.
"In that case, Feng, please show your courage in today's practical course and cut off your hesitation and confusion. If you don't cut off, you will never become stronger."
"……Can I?"
"Before I answer your question, Feng, do you know why I took out a real sword to train with you today?"
Of course Feng didn't know and shook his head, but Nana next to me definitely knew.
"That's to make you come to your senses."
"consciousness?"
"Yes, my father once told me that the sword itself is a killing weapon. Once you hold it in your hand, you must be prepared. You may kill the other person, or you may be killed by the weapon in the other person's hand. As long as you hold it in your hand, you must be prepared.
If you are pointing a sword at the opponent, you have to have the courage to risk your life."
"Do you have the courage to risk your life...?"
"Yes, you need to be aware when holding a murderous weapon. There is absolutely no room for timidity or confusion. This is a taboo. If you don't have awareness, then I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Without such awareness, holding a sword against someone is
Holding on to the other person means that deep down in your heart there is no room for further growth."
"...Senior Leon, I will never do anything that makes you feel that your enlightenment has been wasted. After today's class, no, tomorrow...I will definitely let senior hear the good news!"
"I hope so."
I checked the time on my phone and saw that it was almost time to have breakfast, so I had no choice but to say goodbye to Feng first.
"Feng, today's training ends here. I hope to hear your good news tomorrow."
After saying that, I turned around and pushed Nana's wheelchair towards the cafeteria. At this time, Feng also used all his strength to shout to me: "Senior Leon! I will definitely let you hear the good news.
of."
"..."
I just smiled, raised my hand and said goodbye to her, and then set off towards the cafeteria with Nana.
As usual, breakfast was already being served in the cafeteria. I chose some at random as usual and went back to Nana to enjoy breakfast with her. After breakfast was settled, we started as usual.
