Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 75 Woz's Learning Style

After getting Erza's approval, Woz started his swordsmanship practice by the river in the following days.

Although it is a practice, as a coach, Erza found that she had no chance to train Woz according to her plan.

Of course, Erza, who is basically self-taught, doesn't know how to teach others; at this time, she is suddenly asked to teach others, and she is still a master like Woz, even if she is best at swordsmanship, It still made the girl nervous for a while; in order to be a qualified trainer, Erusa specially read various books and materials overnight in the library, and painstakingly worked out a decent training plan.

As a result, when she started training the next day, Woz ignored her painstakingly arranged plan at all, and stubbornly carried out "practice" in her own way, which really disappointed Erza.

In the following time, faced with Woz's so-called "practice", even a silent and withdrawn person like Erza couldn't help but start complaining secretly. If she hadn't already known him, Erza felt that she would definitely I thought the other party was playing tricks on her!

During Erza's sword practice in the morning, Woz didn't mean to practice together at all. All he did was sit on the stone next to him and watch. In comparison, he was more like a supervisor than a student.This embarrasses Ersha as a coach, and feels that she has no dignity as a "teacher" at all.What's more, Woz didn't take it seriously even when he was watching, and kept lowering his head to write something in the book, looking very insincere.

When Ersha finally couldn't help but stopped and questioned the other party, Woz admitted that he was recording the scene of Ersha practicing swords, and this was his own way of learning.

Erza looked in disbelief, it was the first time she heard that learning martial arts could be achieved by taking notes, what a... nerdy way of doing it!But after thinking about it, isn't Woz's usual image of a "nerd", no matter how tough he is...

Maybe Woz really has some exclusive secrets, so the girl who started to feel curious simply paused her practice, leaned over to take a look, and found that, as expected, the paper was really a record of her own sword practice scene, and the detailed written records were vivid enough to make people She easily saw the picture of herself practicing sword through the text description; there are even a few stick figure illustrations between the large texts as annotations.This thing, after a little tidying up, is a pretty good swordsmanship textbook—Elusha saw its value at a glance—much better than what she sorted out overnight.

Looking at the concise but vivid portrait on the paper, the character in the picture is naturally Erusa herself. Although the face is not clearly shown, anyone who looks at it will immediately think "ah, this is Erusa" "impression.To be honest, it was the first time that Ersha discovered that she was so heroic when practicing swordsmanship. Is this the real one, or...is it beautified by him?

The girl's cheeks were slightly red, and she immediately pretended to be calm and asked, "This, is this how you study?"

Woz looked at the paper full of records with satisfaction, nodded and said: "That's right, as a recorder of words, this is how I learned... Don't worry, it will be done soon."

Sure enough, after observing and recording for a day, Woz started to practice with the sword himself the next day. Such efficiency made Erza worry whether he was too impatient and whether he should record for a few more days.

"Anyway, the basic sword skills are just a few tricks, right? I saw it yesterday, so there is no need to record it again." Woz replied.

Is it my role to be a model for a day?Erza was very dissatisfied, so she stopped practicing again, and wanted to take a good look at Woz's practice results!
I can't bear to look directly at it!The simplest chopping action, but Woz did it very awkwardly, as if he couldn't coordinate his body.Erza couldn't help but want to go up to teach, but Woz didn't stop, staring forward, his eyes were empty, looking forward without focus, and swung the sword in his hand again with great concentration.

No, it's still wrong...Elusha frowned, but at this moment the boy was in a state of being alone, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in an atmosphere called "seriousness", which prevented Erza from disturbing him.

Huh?Erza's frowning brows suddenly loosened, and after several consecutive horrific downward chops, Woz suddenly became enlightened and made a standard movement. The sudden change made people extremely uncomfortable.Immediately afterwards, without further pause, Woz slashed with his sword one after another, and his movements were standard without exception!Through the thin clothes, Erza could even vaguely see that every muscle in him was doing the most standard exercise.

Once in place!It was as precise as a machine, and even Erza herself couldn't pick out any deficiencies.Is this... is Woz's ability to learn?For the first time the girl feels genuine admiration for other people.

No longer obsessed with this completed action, Woz immediately continued to practice the next move.Practice all the basic moves in a short time.

It really did it...Elusha's expectations were broken again, and she said in a dry voice: "That's it... But although the movements are very standard, you still need to practice more. The so-called sword skill is to use These actions become the memory of my body's instinct!"

Woz shook his head slightly, and took out the special long sword "paper" from his magic book, and handed it to Erza: "About the main points you said... why don't you try it first."

Erusa took the sword carefully, but gestured hesitantly. This sword, which was more than ten centimeters longer than her height, was obviously not easy to handle, and the thin blade was also hard to trust. Erza was quite worried that she would accidentally break the sword.

Feeling the joking expression on Woz's face, Erza could probably imagine what she looks like now: a villain with a long sword and bound hands and feet, must be very funny, right?The girl suddenly felt a little bit annoyed, and flicked her wrist vigorously, trying to show her real skills to open his eyes.

So the thin blade of the "paper" was broken directly from the root.The broken blade floated through the air without texture, cutting off a few hairs that passed by.

The girl's face froze immediately, she stared blankly at the bare hilt in her hand, and then reacted and explained in a panic: "I, I didn't expect it to be broken so easily!"

Woz looked like he had known this before: "So you can't use it in an ordinary way, you need unique skills. It's enough to understand the basic moves to this level. The next thing I have to do is to practice and get used to it. This sword." As he spoke, he pulled out another thin sword "paper" from the book, which was exactly the same as the previous one.Pass it to Erza again.

"Eh?"

Woz explained lightly: "The difficulty in making the thin sword is only a few key points such as materials. After you figure it out, it's no big deal. So in order to create the best work, I experimented thousands of times. "

"So?" Erza asked blankly.

"That's right, I still have more than 1000 of the same sword, and there are only six that can be called the final version. But in fact, the difference between the two is only the durability, so it doesn't affect the training at all. You can use it boldly."

Erza looked like her worldview had been refreshed: "That means it's a consumable for sword practice? Isn't it too extravagant?"

"It cost more than half of my savings." Woz said with a smile and spit out an astonishing figure.It dazzles girls who are not yet familiar with work tasks and have a weak sense of money.I was even a little surprised by this young man's ability to make money.

But the girl shouted "so cool" in her heart!At the same time, he decided to equip the same number of swords in the future... No!For me who has mastered the magic of advanced storage space, it is cool enough to prepare the whole body equipment together!
Knowing that she doesn't need to worry about the wear and tear during practice, Erza picked up another sword again.

"However, it's still uncomfortable." Erza tried her best to relax her body and swung the sword in her hand as naturally as possible. "Although I probably know how to master the technique of using force, can I really fight like this? It feels like a dance performance."

She had never used a weapon with such a serious discrepancy in size and weight, and she was worried about breaking the sword in her hand again, so the girl's movements became more restrained, and the softness was indeed like a dance.

Woz looked at her movements with a smile: "Don't be so reluctant. This is just for you to play with. For Erza, there is no need for this kind of sword and swordsmanship. You just stick to the original style, pure strength and The pure power brought by the speed, crushing the enemy with strength..." Woz said enviously, "If I have your strength, I don't have to bother to practice such unorthodox swordsmanship."

Ersha tilted her head and thought for a while, she also felt that this was the reason, she curled her lips and left to practice her sword.

The next day Woz began to practice his unique swordsmanship.Erza was a little discouraged and found that she didn't seem to have played any role in the whole process. The only thing she did was to practice swords on the river bank with Woz every morning. The expectation of the identity of "coach" and "teacher".To be honest, she still had some expectations before, after all, the student she taught was that Woz!

But... that's enough. Erza was originally quite open-minded, so she soon felt relieved.The girl also understood Woz's way of learning - as long as there is a role model around her who can learn from it, her own existence is not meaningless.Sometimes Ersha can't help but sigh, such a talent for learning is really scary.

A month later, Woz announced that his fencing skills were basically complete.

　happy mid-Autumn Festival!It's a pity that I can't see the moon... I can only watch the live broadcast of Tiangong-[-]'s launch.
