Chapter 12 Ryan vs. Thick Eyebrows

Five days later.

As Ryan gradually released the level 2 level of swordsmanship, Humbert, the swordsmanship instructor who was observing from the side, basically determined that Ryan had a very high understanding of swordsmanship.

To put it bluntly, Ryan was a swordsmanship genius. Of course, he was only an ordinary genius, one in a hundred.

But Humbert couldn't help but look at Ryan with a new eye.

If he is trained well, he is the material for a guard or even a captain of the guard!

"Today, we are going to start swordsmanship sparring!"

"In swordsmanship, if you want to improve quickly, you need someone to practice with you."

"And the opponent of the sparring should not be too casual. It is best to have equal strength. In this way, your swordsmanship will be improved the most." Humbert's sonorous voice rang out on the training ground.

"Ryan, Richard, the two of you come up and demonstrate the sparring, and the others will watch!" Humbert called out.

Thick Eyebrow's name was Richard.

"Yes, instructor!" The two said in unison.

After that, the two of them stepped out of the line quickly, and at the front of the team, they simultaneously posed the starting position of basic swordsmanship, with the tips of the two ironwood swords pointed at each other.

Thick Eyebrows felt an indescribable anxiety and irritability about Ryan's recent changes.

When he was repairing donkey hooves and nailing horseshoes before, Ryan stood out, but he didn't care at all.

Because his goal is to be the manor guard, which can be seen from the fact that he has been learning basic swordsmanship with his relatives in advance for the past two years.

But what he didn't expect was that when it came to swordsmanship training, Ryan actually attracted the attention of Humbert, the swordsmanship instructor, again.

He couldn't accept this!

If this goes on, Ryan will sooner or later become his strong competitor.

What's more, Ryan had fought with him before, and he suffered a loss.

So, Thick Eyebrows just kept thinking, while taking advantage of the sparring, should he accidentally "injure" Ryan, and it would be best if he couldn't even hold the sword? !

"Begin!"

As soon as Humbert's voice fell, Ryan and Thick Eyebrow stabbed out at the same time, but Ryan immediately found that Thick Eyebrow's sword speed was slightly faster.

This was because the opponent was taller and longer, and had a more skilled basic swordsmanship.

Immediately, Ryan quickly changed his moves and blocked the opponent's straight stab with his strong sword.

"Bang!"

When the iron and wooden swords collided, there was a dull sound.

Ryan retreated three steps, while Thick Eyebrow only retreated one step. It was obvious that Thick Eyebrow had the upper hand.

Thick Eyebrow looked pleased!

No matter how talented you are, it will take at least half a year to beat me.

But Ryan's face was calm. He had expected this situation.

First of all, in terms of height, Thick Eyebrow was nearly a head taller than him, and his arm span was naturally much longer.

This was very advantageous in swordsmanship.

Secondly, Thick Eyebrow had learned basic swordsmanship for nearly two years, which was not comparable to his current level 2 basic swordsmanship.

Ryan estimated that if Thick Eyebrow's swordsmanship level was converted into the swordsmanship level displayed by the system, it should be at or close to level 3.

Ryan continuously resisted Thick Eyebrow's attacks many times, which can be said to be surrounded by danger!

Although there is no danger to life, the heavy blow of the iron wood sword can also make people feel miserable!

"If I don't improve my swordsmanship level, I will definitely lose this battle!"

"What is the purpose of Coach Humbert letting me practice with Thick Eyebrow this time? Let yourself fail so that you can catch up, or do you want to further stimulate your potential?"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The dull sound of the iron wood hitting came frequently!

Humbert on the side, with his hands on his chest, watched the two people fight expressionlessly.

Although he had already made a judgment in his heart that if there were no accidents, Thick Eyebrow should win this battle.

Then Ryan, who had experienced a small setback, should catch up!

Good iron needs to be hammered to make good steel!

At this time, the tall Claire took the lead, leading a group of nobles and wealthy businessmen's children, riding horses from outside to the outer fortress, and seemed to have just finished equestrian training.

Looking down from above, they obviously saw two of the servants sparring.

Ryan, who was sweating profusely, also noticed the hostility of thick eyebrows!

Because the other party had deliberately attacked his vital points several times.

"Fuck! Is he holding back?"

"No wonder this grandson has been so quiet these days, it turns out he was waiting for me here!"

"Seriously injure me? Let me lie down for a month or two?"

"Damn, this is intolerable!"

Ryan's face showed a hint of ruthlessness!

Add points!

As he decisively used a few skill points, the basic swordsmanship was instantly upgraded from lv2 to lv3. At the same time, a fragment of memory about the training of basic swordsmanship was also injected into his mind.

The thick eyebrow on the opposite side found that Ryan was sluggish for a moment.

He secretly said "good opportunity"!

Immediately, he showed a hint of ruthlessness on his face and chopped down at Ryan's right shoulder.

If this hits, lying down for ten days or half a month is not enough, and it is very likely that he will not be able to learn swordsmanship for a month or two.

Facing the attack of thick eyebrows, Ryan felt that the iron wood sword in his hand gave him a feeling of being able to use it as if it were his arm!

This feeling was as if the long sword in his hand was an extension of his arm!

In a flash, Ryan once again blocked it with the strong sword body.

"Bang!"

The two iron wood swords collided, making a dull sound again.

But this time, Ryan caught it steadily and did not retreat!

Thick Eyebrows took advantage of the reaction force of the collision and turned around. He slashed down and slashed at Ryan's face and eyes again. His movements were extremely fast.

At this time, Thick Eyebrows was in a very good mood!

This move was his best performance at his current swordsmanship level.

In his opinion, Ryan would never be able to resist it!

At that time, he only needed to pretend to accidentally hurt the other party and put on a show!

Hehe, the nickname of One-Eyed Ryan is not bad!

Thick Eyebrows' mouth corners tilted up slightly!

And this downward slash immediately made the boys watching exclaim.

George looked at Ryan with even more worry, wondering if his best friend could resolve this move.

Fencing instructor Humbert was ready to go and planned to block this sword!

Ryan was suddenly startled, and immediately exerted force on his waist. He instinctively leaned back quickly and used the strong sword body to block in front of him again, blocking Thick Eyebrow's fierce attack.

Then, he stood up suddenly with the force of his abdominal muscles and quickly counterattacked.

"Snap!"

The wrist of the thick-browed man holding the sword was hit hard by Ryan, and the ironwood sword in his hand fell to the ground!

The situation was reversed so quickly that the servants were stunned! !

Suddenly, there was a complete silence around!

"Huh! This kind of swordsmanship intuition that seems to be like instinct, it seems that I have underestimated it before!" Humbert was surprised and slightly excited at this moment.

In the distance, Claire, the youngest daughter of the Count of Habsburg, also had a gleam in her beautiful eyes.

"I remember Xia Diya said that this black-haired boy seems to be called Ryan, and his father is a tenant of the manor. Very good, with a clean family, maybe we can try to train him?"

If he really has talent, she would not hesitate to give him a chance.

But

whether he can seize the opportunity depends on his performance.

"Ryan wins!" The swordsmanship instructor Humbert immediately announced loudly with approval.

Thick-browed looked at Ryan's back as he turned and left the court expressionlessly, and a trace of resentment suddenly arose in his heart!

"Ryan, you are so proud! Just wait for me!!"

He had just thought of another way to deal with Ryan!

Originally, he disdained to do so.

But Ryan's progress was too fast!

So fast that he felt a little scared!

His family has run a tavern for many years, and Thick Eyebrows himself knows a lot of people from all walks of life.

For example, Jack the Drunkard is a very good candidate. He used to be a mercenary and was very skilled!

Ryan, who walked off the field, was suddenly stunned!

Then, he was pleasantly surprised.

The system prompts as follows:

[Your basic swordsmanship skills have been improved, and your experience points have increased by 17]

[You have experienced a battle, and your militia professional experience points have increased by 9]

"A short-term sparring session actually increased your professional experience points by 9 points, which is almost the effect of two days of training!"

"It seems that what Instructor Humbert said is absolutely right!"

"Continuously sparring with opponents of similar level is the shortcut to quickly improve your swordsmanship!"

For a moment, Ryan felt that Thick Eyebrows did not seem so hateful.
