Chapter 73 This is a failed demonstration.
Originally, Ryan was shorter than him, only reaching his eyebrows.
But after not seeing him for half a month, Ryan had almost grown as tall as him!
This surprised George greatly, and he grabbed Ryan's arm and said, "Ryan, what have you eaten recently? How come you grow so fast!"
But the next second, George was stunned, and he looked down at Ryan's arm that he was holding.
He couldn't hold it at all!
George instinctively pinched it with his fingers, and a firm and elastic touch came from his fingertips.
George was stunned!
"Ray Ryan! You have changed too much!!" George was stunned and stammered.
Ryan not only grew taller, but also grew a circle, but because his body shape was still relatively symmetrical, it was not easy to tell from the outside.
Fortunately, George touched Ryan's arm. If he touched Ryan's chest or back, he would have touched the hard metal strips of the "plate armor".
"Pah!"
"Two grown men, stop pulling and tugging!" Ryan pretended to be angry.
In fact, Ryan wanted to prevent George from touching him again and leaking the fact that he was wearing a cotton plate armor.
It was not that he was worried that George would tell others, but the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.
"Alas, Ryan, you have changed so much!" George seemed very frustrated.
"If you eat well, you will grow taller!" Ryan pointed to the eggs, milk and meat he had just bought.
George was stunned and immediately had an expression of surprise: "No wonder!"
"By the way, what did you want to talk to me about today?" In order to prevent George from continuing to dwell on this issue, Ryan changed the subject and asked.
"The manor just notified me that the training of child servants will resume in the afternoon." George slapped his head and remembered the business.
Hey! I was originally planning to go to the Habsburg manor later to deal with the greyhound puppy issue, but I didn't expect it to resume in the afternoon.
After a brief thought, Ryan decided to attend the servant training in the afternoon. When it was over, he would go to the manor kennel to pick a greyhound.
Ryan naturally brought the cotton plate armor and dagger, but he didn't bring the two-handed sword, which was too conspicuous.
Afternoon.
In the outer fortress of the Habsburg Manor, the servant training began again.
Today is the training of basic swordsmanship.
"We learned basic swordsmanship before. There are only three basic swordsmanship moves, but whether it is stepping sword, slashing down or slashing up, they are all offensive moves, and there are no defensive moves."
"So, today we will learn how to use the long sword in our hands for defense!" The swordsmanship instructor Humbert said loudly.
"Ryan, come on, come forward and demonstrate with me."
"Yes, instructor!" Ryan was stunned, but immediately agreed and walked forward quickly.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready, instructor."
"Well, everyone else pay attention to my demonstration." Humbert nodded, turned around and said loudly to the servants.
Humbert raised the ironwood sword in his hand and pointed it at Ryan's chest, and then stabbed him with a quick step.
Ryan, who was opposite Humbert, was very surprised why the instructor stabbed so slowly. Although it was a demonstration, it seemed too unreal.
"I guess the instructor must have a backhand?"
So Ryan naturally took a step back and easily avoided Humbert's stabbing.
Just when Ryan thought Humbert would catch up and continue to attack, he found that Humbert was looking at him with strange eyes.
The scene in front of him was a little different from what Humbert expected.
Although he had known that Ryan had a talent for swordsmanship, he had sparred with Ryan many times, so he also knew Ryan's general strength.
But in that sword just now, he had used 70% of his strength. Logically, Ryan would not have time to react and be pointed at the chest by the tip of his sword.
Then, he could use this as a correct demonstration to tell the servants the importance of defense and how to defend.
Humbert never expected that Ryan could dodge it so easily.
Obviously, this was a failed demonstration!
"Ryan, very effective defense, let's do it again." Humbert said.
This time, Humbert's eyes were obviously more serious, and he planned to use 90% of his strength this time.
After all, if the demonstration failed twice, he didn't know how to explain the next content.
It's impossible to change someone else to demonstrate again, right?
Then would he, the senior guard and swordsman of the manor, still have the face of the boy servant?
Obviously, Ryan didn't know what Humbert, the swordsman, was thinking at this time, and nodded immediately:
"Okay, teacher!"
This time, Humbert no longer asked Ryan if he was ready, but after seeing Ryan stand still, he suddenly stepped forward and stabbed a sword.
"Swish!"
The speed of this sword was much faster than before, and the speed was so fast that it slightly pierced the air, making a slight sword whistle.
Ryan's eyes condensed, and he sighed in his heart, this time Humbert finally took it a little more seriously!
The previous attack was too perfunctory, and this time it was obviously much stronger. I just don't know how much of his real level the instructor used this time, 50%? Or 60%?
Ryan thought to himself, but his body didn't slow down at all.
He instinctively stepped back, then quickly swung his sword and blocked Humbert's stab with the 'strong sword body' near the hilt.
Perhaps because of the significant improvement in various attributes, especially mental strength, Ryan was able to grasp the trajectory of Humbert's long sword very well.
In addition, Ryan was used to using a heavy two-handed sword, so he swung the ironwood sword at this moment, just like waving straw, at a very fast speed, so it was not difficult to block, but rather quite smooth.
"Bang!"
The two ironwood swords used for training collided quickly and separated suddenly.
Humbert's ironwood sword had been shaken away, and the tip of Ryan's ironwood sword was pointing at Humbert's chest, motionless.
At this moment, Humbert could no longer suppress his surprise, and he uttered a soft "Huh", and his mind was even more turbulent.
"If the first time, it might be because of my contempt that Ryan easily dodged my stab, but this time I deliberately took advantage of Ryan's unpreparedness."
"In addition, the speed of my stab this time was obviously much faster than the last time."
"But even in this case, Ryan easily resisted it."
"This..."
Humbert didn't know what happened to Ryan recently. It's only been more than half a month since I last saw him, and his strength has improved so much?
As for the servants watching on the side, some were fascinated, while others were horrified.
Most of the servants only saw the swordsmanship instructor Humbert and Ryan. The two fought at a very fast speed, and then heard a "bang", and it was over.
As for how Ryan defended, I really didn't see it clearly .
Humbert was slightly stunned, and a light flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of a demonstration on how to cover up this failure.
"Well, Ryan just gave a very good demonstration!"
Humbert coughed and continued,
"Just now I attacked Ryan with a stabbing sword. Ryan first stepped sideways and quickly blocked my stabbing sword with the 'Strong Sword Body', and then stabbed back with a stabbing sword. It was a very good response."
"Everyone needs to learn Ryan's response method. It is very standard and practical!"
Ryan was obviously stunned after hearing Humbert's praise.
This seemed to be different from the demonstration he expected. Shouldn't he stabbed the sword himself, and then Humbert calmly blocked it?
But the instructor's explanation just now seemed to make sense!
A group of servants looked at Ryan with shocked and envious eyes.
Among them, Thick Eyebrows was the best. As the second best swordsman among the servants, Thick Eyebrows knew how difficult it was to practice Ryan's extremely fast defensive counterattack just now.
