I formed the strongest swordsman group

"You want me to practice swordsmanship with you... What exactly do you want me to do?" Qingdeng asked back.

"You just need to fight with me." Elodie replied with a smile, "I haven't practiced with anyone for a long time... I almost forgot what it feels like to practice with someone or something other than air. .”

Ai Luodi's current expression...Qingdeng couldn't help but recall the expression that Kinoshita Mai had revealed to him about the hidden identity of the cat monk before, and asked him to help him deal with the group of people who only used fildo to test the knife. —It’s all hanging like this, showing hope and expectation, and at the same time, a little bit of worry.

Worried that Qingdeng would reject them out loud.

Thinking and imperceptible confusion flickered back and forth in Qingdeng's pupils... These emotions together constitute the emotion called "hesitation".

Qingdeng has never been the kind of indecisive person.

He didn't make Elodie wait too long—

"……I see."

Qingdeng raised his head, looked at the ceiling above his head, and let out a long breath.

When he lowered his eyes to the angle where he could look at Alodi, there was already a soft smile with a bit of helplessness on his face.

"Then let's practice sword with you for a while...but only for a short while."

——Take it as a thank you to this kid for defending me and Ms. Kinoshita in public just now.

Elodie was in the study just now, and she tried her best to tell Anthony and others how good the fox monk and the cat monk were, and tried her best to maintain the image of the fox monk and the cat monk... This made Qingdeng feel a little embarrassed, but at the same time Slightly moved.

This was the first time that Qingdeng heard others praise his and Kinoshita Mai's current deeds and achievements in person.

There is a feeling... everything that I and Mai Kinoshita have done so far can still be rewarded.

Anyway, Miss Angouleme's request is not too much and difficult to do, so let's satisfy this little fan who just helped me and Miss Kinoshita... If you practice sword with this child, maybe you can't do it. What kind of useful talent can be copied from her—Qingdeng is in this mood right now.

Talent is something that knows no age or gender.

Who knows if there is any useful talent lurking in this child?

Qingdeng felt that Elodie's eloquence was quite good, so Qingdeng speculated that maybe the talent related to eloquence could be copied from her.

Maybe it's because I didn't expect Qingdeng to agree so readily... Alodi now has a look of "thinking has stopped".

She stared blankly at Qing Deng.

And then... she didn't say anything.

He only clenched his fists, and then smiled stupidly while bouncing on the spot several times, his face flushed slightly from the excitement.

She was so happy that she jumped on the spot... Her actions like this are worth a thousand words.

...

...

The place Alodie chose to practice sword with her was a spacious corridor adjacent to the dining room.

According to Ai Luodi, this is the most spacious corridor in their house.

This corridor can accommodate three burly adults walking side by side... It is more than enough to be used as a place for sword practice.

"Miss Angoulême, can I just fight with you?" Qing Deng softly repeated the request Elodie just made.

"En!" Elodie, who was standing opposite Qingdeng, nodded vigorously, bent down, and took off the pair of white velvet slippers on her feet that were not convenient for running because of the high-heeled design. She exposed her white and tender feet with ten toes as bright as new shoots of white lotus root.

Qingdeng nodded, and after expressing "I understand" to Elodie, he glanced at the robe on Elodie: "Miss Angoulême, don't you want to change your clothes?"

"It's too troublesome to go back and change clothes."

When the word "change clothes" was mentioned, a hint of timidity and boredom floated on Elodie's cheeks.

"Mr. Tachibana, you probably don't know... the wearing of women's clothing in our country is very troublesome."

"A lot of clothes take a long time to put on even with the help of servants."

"I'm fine with that."

After all, Elodie waved her left hand, shook the corner of her white robe vigorously, and then raised her wooden rapier with great momentum.

Elodie's posture is a fairly standard sword-throwing posture-her right arm holding the sword is raised forward, and her right foot is stepped forward by the length of the soles of her feet. The center of gravity of the body falls on both feet evenly, with the toes of the right foot pointing forward and the toes of the left foot pointing to the left. The right arm holding the sword is half-bent, the elbow joint is facing the right side of the body, the tip of the sword is on a horizontal line with the right eye, and the gaze is fixed on Qingdeng.

After Ai Luodi set her posture, her whole aura changed a little, and there was a heroic look between her brows.

"Mr. Orange, I'm ready!"

Qingdeng smiled slightly, and then pulled out the Ding Guishen from his waist.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to use a real sword to practice swords with Ai Luodi.

Elodie and the others didn't have wooden or bamboo knives at home, so Qingdeng could only pull out Dingguishen, put the knife on the ground aside, and pull out Dingguishen's empty scabbard, replacing it with the sheath.

Holding the knife in both hands... Oh, no, it was Qingdeng holding the sheath in both hands, and Elodie shouted: "Let the horse come here!"

Ai Luodi smiled sweetly at Qingdeng.

Then he quickly put away the smile on his face, took a step forward, and took the initiative to attack Qingdeng.

Qingdeng's field of vision was instantly filled with flying white robes.

Elodie, who uses the stabbing technique, her attacks are naturally basically stabbing techniques.

The blade of the wooden rapier drew straight lines and swept towards Qingdeng's various body parts.

Perhaps it was because she was afraid of hurting Qingdeng. The places Ellodi attacked were Qingdeng's upper arms and thighs, where there was more flesh, and even if she was hit, it would not hurt.

However, Alodi's worries were obviously overstated.

Ai Luodi's movements are indeed very beautiful, the sword path is very steady, and all kinds of sword skills are well practiced.

But she is just a 12-year-old girl after all.

Children at this age haven't even grown their bodies yet, they need strength but no strength, and they need speed but no speed.

Due to the limitations of her body, it is naturally impossible for Ai Luodi to launch any attack that poses a huge threat to Qingdeng.

In a word - the sword that Elodie thrusts out does not have the slightest possibility of hitting Qingdeng.

Qingdeng can easily dodge Elodie's attack even if he is dragging his body that has not slept for several days and is extremely tired.

Without even blinking his eyes, Qingdeng took two steps back lightly, dodging Alodi's thrust.

Her combo was dodged, and Alodi didn't show any anxiety or annoyance.

She only calmly walked forward again, caught up with Qingdeng who was dodging backwards, and launched a new round of attacks on Qingdeng, while Qingdeng continued to dodge backwards.

Alodi kept attacking, while Qing Deng kept dodging.

This "you attack and I hide" situation did not last long.

Qingdeng, who suddenly wanted to see how Alotti's defense and evasion abilities were, after dodging an unknown number of stabs by Alotti, he slammed the scabbard in his hand from the top lane, A counterattack was launched—of course, Qingdeng's counterattack was a huge hit.

If he uses all his strength to deal with Ai Luodi... then this duel will immediately turn into a "residence murder incident".

Qingdeng only exerted strength with one arm, and tried his best to slow down the force and speed of the attack.

But even so, Elodie still struggled to hide.

In a hurry, she turned her body to one side in a hurry, barely dodging Qing Deng's blow.

Looking at the place where she was almost hit just now, Elodie flicked her big eyes a few times in a daze, and then giggled.

Of course Alodie could see that: Qingdeng's counterattack just now was to let Hai go. If Qingdeng showed his true skills, then she might not even see Qingdeng's movements clearly, and was knocked down by Qingdeng. landed.

However, even though she knew that the reason why she was able to avoid Qingdeng's attack was not because of how powerful she was, Alodi was still very happy.

I successfully dodged the attack just now... A faint sense of accomplishment welled up in my heart, joy filled her entire face, and a childlike smile hung on her face.

The sparring continues.

Ai Luodi took the initiative to attack Qingdeng again.

However, her attacks continued to fail, and she failed to hit Qingdeng once.

Either sideways to avoid Elodie's attack, or Qingdeng who erected the scabbard in his hand to block Elodie's rapier... Now he is frowning slightly, staring at Elodie's little feet under his robe.

The reason why Qingdeng stared at Ai Luodi's feet so straightly... Naturally, it was not because Ai Luodi's feet were so pink and tender that she couldn't help but want to look more, or because of some other strange reasons .

After parrying Alotti's attack with the scabbard again, Qingdeng took advantage of the gap when Alotti was regrouping, and said softly to Alotti:

"Miss Angoulême, your feet are a little too tight, and your steps have become less flexible and quick. Relax your toes and soles."

Just now when Ai Luodi struggled to dodge his counterattack, Qingdeng discovered that Ai Luodi had a small problem of "too tight feet".

Because the feet are too tight, whether it is chasing the opponent or avoiding the opponent's attack, the footsteps will be too stiff and not flexible enough.

"Huh?" Hearing what Qingdeng said, Elodie was stunned, then lowered her head and looked at her feet under her robes, "Relax a little more...?"

Confusion was written all over Elodie's face.

Seeing that Alodi didn't seem to know how to implement his suggestion just now, Qingdeng pondered for a moment:

"Well... how about this, Miss Angoulême, now imagine that you are standing on a very soft sandy beach, where you will sink in if you step on it lightly."

"You can imagine it like this - because the sand is too soft, the toes and the balls of the feet can't grab the ground so hard. If you push too hard, the feet will sink deeper and deeper in the sand."

"According to this imagination, slowly relax the muscles on your feet."

Elodie, who absorbed every word and sentence that Qingdeng said very seriously, nodded lightly with a vague understanding, then closed her eyes, followed Qingdeng's suggestion, and imagined that she was standing in a On the soft sand, relax the muscles of the toes and soles according to your own understanding.

Qingdeng was not in a hurry, he put the scabbard in his hand on the ground, and waited quietly for Alodi to finish his preparations.

It was at this time that Qingdeng couldn't help laughing suddenly—he suddenly realized that because of his sudden instruction, this swordsmanship sparring seemed to have turned into a swordsmanship instructor.

With his strength growing day by day, Qingdeng is no longer the nameless little junior in the guard test hall.

In terms of strength, he has long been one of the high-end combat forces in the test guard hall, and he will be entrusted by Zhou Zhu and Kondo from time to time recently to bring some newcomers who have just started.

Senior brothers leading juniors, high-strength ones leading low-strength ones—this is also a common practice in every sword gym.

Recently, Qingdeng has unknowingly cultivated a certain amount of teaching experience because he often helps to guide the newcomers in the test hall.

Just now, after seeing Elodie showing such an obvious mistake, Qingdeng had a whim and couldn't help pointing her out.

Qing Deng waited quietly for about half a minute, and finally saw Alodi slowly open her eyes.

"Mr. Orange." Elodie looked back and forth between her feet under her dress and Qing Deng on the opposite side, "How is it?"

The "how" that Alodi said naturally refers to whether her feet have been successfully relaxed.

"Well... just looking at it like this, I can't tell." Qingdeng smiled lightly, and then erected the scabbard resting on the ground again, "You attack me."

"Whether your feet have been properly relaxed... You can only see it in actual combat."

After hearing this, Elodie solemnly nodded, and after saying "OK", she followed Qing Deng's instructions and lifted the sword again.

Seeing that she just took a step forward again, she immediately groaned in surprise.

Because she discovered—her movements seemed to be a little faster than before!

Qing Deng, who was still easily dodging Elodie's pounce, raised his eyebrows lightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It's a good job. Compared with just now, it's a bit of progress."

Ai Luodi did not hear Qingdeng's compliment.

Because now she is lowering her head in disbelief, her sky blue eyes are staring at her feet.

Looking at Elodie, who now looks surprised by "discovering the New World", Qingdeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Compared with just now, Elodie's feet are indeed not jumping so tightly, but there is still a huge room for improvement.

If Qingdeng were to score... then Elodie's performance just now has improved from 50 points to 55 points, and there is still a long way to go before the full score.

But—although the improvement is not much, but after only listening to Qingdeng's simple suggestion once, he can effectively correct his movements... This is quite a powerful thing.

Qingdeng couldn't help but thought to himself:

——This kid is quite talented...

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but take a few more glances at the young girl who was still in shock.

After about ten seconds, Elodie finally recovered leisurely.

She raised her head and excitedly said to Qing Deng:

"Mr. Orange, your suggestion just now is very useful! I feel that my footsteps have become a little more dexterous!"

"It's not so much that my suggestion is useful, it's better to say that your understanding is better."

Qingdeng praised sincerely.

"I've coached a lot of people like you who couldn't get their feet off their feet."

"No matter how much I advise, guide, or even teach them, they still can't get the essentials to relax their feet."

"There are very few people like you who can grasp the knack of relaxing your feet in such a short period of time."

To be praised so highly by Qingdeng... Elodie laughed "hehe" a few times in embarrassment.

After expressing the joy in her heart with laughter, Elodie slowly suppressed the smile and laughter on her face, then took a deep breath, and spread her legs again with great fighting spirit, and took a stance!

I have made progress... This makes Elodie very happy.

Emotionally lifted by excitement, she couldn't wait to start a duel with Qingdeng and continue to test the results of her progress.

It's just... Elodie's fighting spirit was interrupted by a female voice that suddenly sounded from behind her——

"Miss, don't play here! (French)"

The owner of this female voice... that is, Leroy, suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor behind Elodie.

After yelling to Elodie not to play in the corridor, the maid who had been cleaning the kitchen just now walked towards Elodie expressionlessly with her hands folded in front of her.

Elodie froze like a deflated ball, then slowly put down the rapier in her hand, pursed her lips, and turned her head to look at Leroy.

Qing Deng didn't understand what Leroy was shouting just now.

But based on the expressions of Leroy and Alodi now...he roughly guessed that the maid should have told him and Alodie not to fight here.

So, at the same time that Elodie put down her rapier, Qingdeng also put away the scabbard in his hand.

However, the moment Qingdeng inserted the scabbard back into his left waist... a sudden change occurred!

Qingdeng's body froze suddenly, and then his expression suddenly changed...

"Miss, what are you doing here?" (French)" Leroy asked Alotti with a bang before and after he walked quickly to Alotti.

"I'm asking Mr. Tachibana to practice sword with me. (French)" Elodie replied.

Practicing the sword... Leroy's face changed slightly upon hearing this word, but she quickly covered up the small emotional fluctuations and returned to her expressionless expression.

"Miss, you invite Mr. Ju to practice sword with you. I have no objection, but you can't practice here in the corridor. If the master sees it, he will definitely reprimand you again. (French)"

"Got it." Elodie stuck out her tongue at Leroy mischievously, "Then I will take Mr. Orange to practice swords in the yard now. (French)"

"Miss, don't even think about practicing swords now." Leroy said lightly, "It's almost time for class, and Mr. Gerald should be coming soon. Miss, you should take your sword now." Put away the rapiers, and get ready for get out of class. (French)"

This time, Elodie's face changed slightly: "Is it already this time? (French)"

Leroy nodded slightly: "It's almost 10 o'clock in the morning. (French)"

While talking, Leroy took out a pocket watch from the back of the apron, and showed the dial to Elodie.

Looking at the time displayed on the dial, Elodie's body seemed to have collapsed, and she seemed to be a little shorter.

"I see... (French)" Elodie pouted her rosy lips.

Elodie sighed heavily with an unhappy expression, and then switched her language mode back to the Japanese section.

"Mr. Orange, I'm sorry... um? Mr. Orange, what's wrong with you?" Alodi, who looked towards Qingdeng, finally noticed that Qingdeng's expression was very strange.

Startled by Elodie's voice, Qing Deng trembled a few times, then stammered and asked: "Ah? Ang, Miss Angouleme, what's the matter?"

Elodie frowned slightly, and cast a worried look at Qingdeng.

"Mr. Orange, what's wrong with you? Your expression just now looked so scary... Are you feeling unwell?"

"Oh, oh, it's all right." Qingdeng tried his best to force out a natural smile, "I just... just felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, but it's much better now."

The talent that Qingdeng copied from the younger brother of the pair of "red-faced brothers": Yoshikawa Kojiro: "Fraudster" came into play at this time!

When he lied that he was just sick to his stomach, Qingdeng's face was neither red nor heartbeat, neither his expression nor his tone was unusual, and he successfully bluffed Elodie.

"So it's like this..." Alodi showed a relieved expression, "If you feel uncomfortable in your body, you can just tell us, we have a lot of medicine here."

"En." Qing Deng, who wanted to quickly confuse the current topic, nodded hastily, "Thank you for your concern."

Successfully forced Ai Luodi to take a deep breath from Qingdeng who was fooling him, and then regained his consciousness to the personal system interface that was now appearing in his mind.

【Name: Juqingdeng】(?)

[Current talent:]

[Night Vision, Sword Talent, Sleeping God, Lonely Danger, Eagle Eye, Left Hand, Fitness, Skillful Hand, Strong Tongue, Iron Waist, Steel Bone, Strong Muscle, Cat Turns Around, Photographic Memory, Ghost Heart, milk, take the lead, see through, beautiful hair, trickster, wind perceiver, hachiman of invincibility, plump breasts]

Successfully copied talent from Elodie.

Just now, when he and Alodi put down their weapons, the system judged that the battle between the two was over.

Immediately afterwards, a system sound prompting that the talent was successfully copied flashed through Qingdeng's mind.

The "full breasts" currently at the end of the list is the talent copied from Elodie.

Copy to talent... this should be something to celebrate.

But now Qingdeng is not happy at all.

Staring at the entry of "full breasts" in the talent list, Qing Deng's expression became more complicated the more he looked at it.

The reason for this... is because this entry, like the talent "milk" that Qingdeng copied from Kinoshita Wu's body before, is in a dark gray color that "doesn't work"...

Until now, the system notification sound that just ran through Qingdeng's mind, causing Qingdeng's expression to lose control, is still in Qingdeng's ears——

【Ding! Scan to talent]

[Successfully copied talent: "Plenty breasts\
