He said that His Highness had already arranged for Lady Olivia to handle matters related to his teaching, and that a carriage would come to pick him up to go to the palace later.
Louis nodded to show that he understood, and began to think about what reasonable way he could use to get Beatrice to take him to solve the problem of the treatment plant in advance.
As I was thinking, I didn't realize that the agreed time had arrived.
Soon, he was brought to an open space that was clean and tidy.
"Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. The instructor will be here soon."
Louis held the book and read for a while. After a few minutes, a middle-aged man in armor came over.
Louis quickly put the book down.
It was obvious that this man was stronger than himself. At least Louis had never felt such an aura from William, the level 11 iron guard, before.
"Your Highness, Jinuo Kain will be responsible for teaching you the Nine Swords from today on."
Louis nodded and said curiously, "But why don't I see the sword?"
Instructor Jinuo paused for a moment, then continued, "Because it is not time for you to practice sword yet. You should learn boxing first before learning sword. First, you should understand how to exert force and strength, and then consider other things."
After saying this, he didn't move his body, but just raised his hand.
Louis didn't even see his movements clearly, he just heard a sudden "pop" sound in the air.
"This is called exerting force, and it is also something you need to master before learning the Nine Swords."
Louis' eyes brightened with surprise.
Instructor Jino didn't seem to like talking much and started teaching straight away.
The first things taught are techniques for exercising the different muscle groups in the body, a bit like what fitness trainers taught in previous lives.
He listened carefully and learned quickly. After Jinuo corrected him on some basic movements, he nodded and said, "Practice these movements more when you go back to lay a foundation. Next, I will teach you the basic movements of the Nine Swords."
He had just finished two sets of exercises and felt his muscles a little sore, but he suddenly felt refreshed.
"I'll slow down the movements and break down the moves for you so you can focus."
Jinuo's eyes became a little sharper, and he demonstrated it directly.
Throw a right fist.
Pull down to push aside the defense.
Bend your arm and elbow strike.
Feint with a swinging fist.
Move forward and take a step.
…
Kino said as he fought.
His movements were very slow, but they made Louis feel a little dazzled.
This reminded him of his previous life when he was just entering school and his physical education teacher taught him radio gymnastics. The movements were obviously very simple, but when he saw the teacher perform the whole set for the first time, he still felt that the movements were very complicated.
He tried hard to memorize every move, and in this hurry, he felt a force rising in his body, and his mind became clear for a moment.
The greedy desire for knowledge is activated.
His brain was a black hole, greedily devouring every movement he saw.
Keno's every move was disassembled and reproduced in his mind.
The world seemed to become quiet at this moment, and the chirping of insects and birds around gradually disappeared.
He subconsciously moved his body.
He replicated each movement in his hands, but perhaps because his muscles did not quite obey his brain's command, when he actually practiced, his movements were greatly deformed.
Jinuo glanced at it and asked, "Have you learned it?"
"No."
Kino shook his head and was about to say something when a soldier ran over and whispered something to him.
Gino glanced at Louis.
Let those who have learned it slowly practice it first.
So he spoke to the soldier from a distance.
Louis didn't care about Kino's departure. He was still there, replicating the movements and playing styles in his mind based on his own model, and gradually moving closer to the standard playing style as he understood it.
…
"Are there any herdsmen missing around the Dragon Bone Grassland? That is a safe area with basically no monsters.
There must be some monsters rushing down from the Smoky Mountains. Let the ranger lead the patrol team to clean it up."
Kino pursed his lips and began to feel annoyed.
If he had this much time, he might as well kill a few more followers of the evil god.
But there is no way...
Last year, Tino City was so peaceful that he and his wife were a little excessive at night.
Now that his second child is born, the financial pressure has increased and he is starting to worry.
You have to give your child a high enough starting point, but all of this costs money, and by the time he grows up, his finances will have been almost drained out.
It was at this time that the second princess Olivia came to him and hoped that he would serve as Prince Louis's tutor.
What a joke, he is the captain of the Royal Guard after all, how could he possibly come to lead a newcomer who has no experience in anything, doesn't he have any face?
However, the frail Princess Olivia came to him in person, saying that he was the best among the nine swords of the royal family, and he really couldn't save his face...
That’s right, it’s definitely not because His Highness gave too much.
To be honest, he was very strict in teaching people. The good guys in the guards were all screaming, and this newbie was naturally...
"Um?"
When Kino glanced at the young prince expressionlessly, there was something wrong in his eyes.
Just while chatting, his boxing posture changed drastically.
His eyes seemed unable to focus, but every punch he threw was carefully controlled. His arms were slightly spread out like a cheetah ready to pounce on its enemy. His slender shoulders trembled slightly, and his abdomen rose and fell in a rhythmic and orderly manner.
Sweat wet the ends of his hair, and drops of sweat flowed down his cheeks and fell to the ground.
"It seems that I am not as lazy as Your Highness said..."
He had previously told Olivia that he was too impatient and not suitable to lead newcomers who knew nothing.
At that time, Her Highness's reply was that Prince Louis was a bit lazy on weekdays, and she was ordered to take over the task of formulating the prince's training curriculum, so she had to sharpen a good sword for Lady Beatrice.
Therefore, the Second Princess hopes that he will train His Royal Highness the Prince hard.
He didn't think so at first.
If he really wanted to, he would be afraid that something might happen to those noble crispy chickens.
But now seeing Louis' focused attitude, he couldn't help but be moved.
Although hard work is not the only factor for success, and may not even be the most important factor, it is the only factor that ordinary people can control with their own will.
"Teach me more seriously. It looks like I should be able to practice more."
But the next second, his expression changed.
“Huha…”
With a deep breath and exhalation, Louis' feet seemed to have nails, maintaining a parrying posture without moving, like a motionless white jade statue.
The next second, his sweat-soaked clothes vaguely showed his slender muscles slightly engorged, tensed, and squirming! He threw a punch.
A dull sound was heard.
His body seemed to lose strength in an instant and he staggered forward.
Kino flashed and pulled and tugged, finally straightening up the exhausted Louis.
"You really have never been taught." Kino said sullenly.
Louis felt that there was pain everywhere on his body. When he came to his senses, he found that he was sweating profusely and he could hardly breathe.
Although it hurt, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You're doing okay?"
Kino glanced at it briefly:
"Not bad, almost close to my younger self."
After a pause, he casually said, "You learned breathing skills pretty quickly."
Louis chuckled: "You showed it in detail when you taught me."
After a pause he continued:
"It's just that this move has too many side effects."
Jino was a man of few words, and for a moment he almost couldn't hold back his curse words.
Why was he so sure that this guy had never practiced before? It was because the way he punched just now was not recorded in the boxing method of the Nine Swords.
That was his unique skill that kept him running, and he had no intention of letting Louis learn it.
But this kid! This kid!
Is it a monster? (End of this chapter)
