Chapter 2: Chapter 2
Joyce breathed with relief, finally calmed down, and said, "Can I see your helmet, teacher?"
Alex gladly handed the helmet to him. Joey looked over and over. The shape of this helmet was a bit peculiar. It was not like an ordinary knight's pointed helmet, but was designed like a tiger's head. Alex walked aside. Sitting on the railing of the promenade, wringing his arms, said: "Your brother Odin asked me to come over, I hope my uninvited show up will not annoy you."
"No, no," Joyce said with a smile immediately, "I like you very much... I mean, you are much better than what I imagined ... You are young and handsome."
Alex said: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Alex Scott. I am 22 years old and born in Rodeburg."
Joyce nodded. The surname Scott came from the lower class of the Shaq Kingdom. Alex was not born of a nobleman, but that was totally fine. Odin didn't choose the pretentious noble knights for him---those people, except gossiping and picking up girls, were almost incapable of anything.
"This helmet is very special." Joyce handed him the helmet, Alex took it back but no longer put it on, saying: "This is my military uniform. When I received Odin's invitation, I am the captain of the 13th Cavalry Unit of the Rodeburg County Assault Battalion. I am not the top knight in the kingdom. I am only rated C. You may be disappointed."
Joyce snorted and thought for a while. In the knight rating, SS is the highest, and the following are S, A, B, C... all the way to E, but the senior knights are usually older. He would rather not have a knight in his 50s or 60s. This is just right.
"It doesn't matter." Joyce said with a smile, "Are you a friend of my brother?"
Alex said: "Yes, we used to be comrades in the army and we fought side by side for a period of time, so when I am with you, I must also practice, let us encourage each other."
"Okay." Joey's smile was warm and sunny, and happy about his brother sent him a very nice person.
Alex stayed in the manor that day and told Joey that starting tomorrow, he would arrange some classes for him, teach him martial arts every morning, and urge him to read books in the afternoon. If he had any questions, he can ask Alex for advice. Joey was naturally interested in theological books, and he didn't need to be supervised, but it was Joey's willingness to have Alex read the book with him.
This elder brother-like teacher was six years older than Joey, and his gestures were filled with the self-discipline and rigorous, serious style of the Cavaliers. And he knew many things. At dinner, Joey asked him about the customs of the Western Continent, and Alex told him many things, including the eagle-winged banshee on Ice Mirror Mountain and the barbarians in the northern forest. The dwarves in the Flame Mountain and the human scorpion-footed tribes in the desert... Joey was very surprised and admired so much that Alex had been to so many places.
After dinner, Alex slept in the room next to Joey. Joey tossed and turned that night, and was a little excited and looking forward to having this friend in his life. He hoped that their relationship, just like Alex said, can get along well.
The next morning, Joey got up very early. He did not sleep well last night, but he was very energetic. He went to the open space behind the manor and said, "Teacher, what are we doing today?"
"Learn to use weapons." Alex said, wearing a robe, "Although you probably won't have to go to the battlefield for melee combat in your life, the necessary combat training can help you strengthen your body and resist diseases."
Joey nodded and said, "I learned a little in the palace before."
Alex nodded happily and said, "You can choose a weapon you like."
There was a weapon rack next to the martial arts field. It was apparently found by Alex from the warehouse this morning. There were all kinds of weapons on it: broadswords, long swords, shields, bows, halberds, double-edged axes, maces, meteors. Hammer and dual-wielding daggers.
Joey pondered for a moment and chose the combination of long sword and shield. Alex seemed a little surprised and said, "Not bad."
Joey said, "Is it special?"
Alex said: "I am also good at using shields and swords. Learn this and I can teach you more."
It was Joey's turn to be surprised and asked, "Teacher, did you trained to use all these weapons?"
Alex drew out the broadsword, waving circles a few times, and said, "Some weapons I just know a bit of trick."
Joey knew that the broadsword was very heavy, weighing 20 kilograms, and was surprised. Alex put the broadsword back and said, "Learn some theory first, and then teach you how to move."
Joey hummed, and Alex led him to sit down and began to explain the tricks of holding a shield to him.
The shield and sword used by the main shield knight are very particular about attacking, retreating and defending. At the same time, the shield can perform unprepared close shield attacks. You can even use shield throwing and other methods to break the enemy's dangerous attack. You will mainly rely on the shield to attack, and even the main method is how to handle the shield.
"The long sword retreated to the support." Alex said: "Remember, the means of defeating the enemy is no longer the sword stabbing. The role of the sword is to make a killing blow in time when the opponent reveals a flaw..."
Joey had learned this before. When Odin was trained by his instructor, Joey listened a lot, and he roughly remembered the principle. Although Alex's voice was nice, it was hypnotic when it came to his ears, making Joey unable to stop being sleepy. He really slept too little last night.
Alex noticed that Joey was a little distracted, so he stopped talking and just looked at him.
Joey became more sober, and said, "The shield attack is used to expose the opponent to flaws...Is it?"
"Yes." Alex nodded and stood up and said, "Especially the shield strike."
"Cross step, shield strike, slide step." Alex held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right. He rushed forward, and a shield strike came. The figure is extremely chic.
Joey nodded immediately and repeat to Alex.
"Cross step, shield strike, slide step."
Alex made a few moves. When he performed the shield strikes, he was very cool, and the movements were as beautiful as the flowing water, and Joey laughed at it.
Alex stopped, his eyebrows moved, and asked inexplicably, "What are you laughing at?"
Joey said: "This action made by you is very beautiful, teacher, are you fighting hard? Have you ever been injured?"
Alex took the shield, thought for a while, and said, "I'm too young, and I don't have many war injuries."
Joey also noticed that the face of the battle-tested knight was more or less scarred, but Alex almost did not have it. Alex came to him and sat down, and Joey said: "No scare on your face."
"Here is a piece." Alex turned his head to show Joey. There was a shallow scar on his brow bone. Joey yelled and leaned over to take a closer look.
"There are also some behind the ears, which are covered by hair." Alex said, "There are arrow wounds in both places."
Joey looked behind Alex's ears again. Alex's ears were normal before, but now they became flushed. Joey looked at him in surprise and saw a very obvious scar behind his ears. Asked: "Does it hurt? Fortunately, it didn't hurt your face. You're pretty handsome. It would be a shame if you get disfigured."
Alex smiled: "The scar is a knight's medal, don't worry, I will protect you and won't let you lose your beauty."
Joey grinned and laughed, and Alex said, "Is martial arts a bit boring?"
Joey quickly said, "No, no, it's good, I understand everything."
Alex said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to learn weapons, but I think..."
Joey said: "I want to learn, I can practice. I have learned a little from my brother before."
Alex nodded and said, "Today is the first lesson. There is a lot of theory. Take a break, think about it for yourself, and prepare for practice."
Alex talked about the theory for two hours, and Joey was really sleepy. After barely holding on, Alex got up and left.
When he came back, he changed into a lighter armor.
The light armor is very beautiful, only the left half of the shoulder armor, a belt is drawn diagonally from the shoulder armor, and it is connected to the palm-sized right chest protector. Otherwise, the upper body is almost half-naked.
The hands are covered with wristbands and fingerless leather gloves, and the lower body is a battle skirt and boots that only reach the thighs.
Alex's pectoral muscles are not strong, but they are well-defined and strong, and his abdominal muscles look neat and beautiful.
There was also an inconspicuous scar on his right chest, and a healed wound on his waist, which adds to the charm of being a knight.
Alex noticed that Joey was looking at him and said, "This is a light leather armor that allows you to fight freely as much as possible. It is mostly equipped in the army that meets the soldiers. Come, you take this."
Alex handed Joey the wooden sword and wooden shield for practice, and Joey tried to squeeze him, and slammed him in front of Alex with a shield strike.
"Okay!" Alex immediately cheered and retreated lightly. Joey couldn't take it anymore. He threw himself down, but Alex hooked Joey's back collar with one hand to help him stabilize his balance.
"Very good." Alex smiled: "It's like this. Have you learned it before?"
Joey stepped back, slapped the shield with a wooden sword, and said, "I have practiced against my brother for a while."
"There are a few small places that are not standard." Alex bowed, and stepped closer to Joey, straddling his left foot between Joey's two feet one after the other, the two were very close together, almost touching each other. , Alex said in a deep voice: "You use your elbow to force the shield strike, don't use your forearm."
Joey's face was flushed, and the two breathed intertwined. Alex carried him with a shield and said, "As long as the force is accurate, you can easily knock the enemy out." With a light push, Joe When Yi Zheng was distracted, he was pushed backward and fell down. Alex instantly released his sword and withdrew his sword, freed his hand to grab his wrist, and pulled him back in front of him. Then he let go again and caught the wooden sword.
"Understood?" Alex said.
Joey nodded and said, "Probably understand."
Alex said, "Try it." Then he took a step back and get ready for practice.
Joey stepped forward and Alex said, "Don't be afraid, you won't be able to move forward too much."
Joey was actually afraid of hitting Alex too hard, and honestly said, "I was afraid of hitting you."
Alex was dumbfounded: "Shield strike practice, how do you practice if you are afraid of bumping into me? Let go."
Joey and his body rushed up, Alex gave a hum, just pushed a half step, raised the elbow holding the sword and pressed it against the shield, stopped Joey's momentum, and said, "Look down and watch your steps. You stepped forward too much, it's wrong."
Joey adjusted his footwork. The whole person was already half in Alex's arms. He tried to push the shield. In which direction he pushed, Alex's unloading followed, and the two pushed each other. Adhesion, Alex said: "Stop, it's here. The enemy's abdomen."
Joey pinpointed the unloading point, pushed hard, and felt that he had found the force point. Alex moved slightly and said, "Very well, have you done pushing exercises?"
Joey said: "I saw my brother and the knight commander secretly learned when they were playing against each other. That's how they pushed each other around."
Alex nodded, seemingly funny, pushed Joey away, and said, "Now you need to find the right point of stress, make the whole process coherent, and start."
"Cross step, shield blow, slippery step..." Joey said.
"Not bad!" Alex accompanied Joey to practice. Every time Joey rushed forward, Alex took the move with a shield, dismantles the move, and retreated. They passed by, sometimes stopped and corrected. Joey's pace was practiced repeatedly for two hours, and Joey's sweat soaked his shirt, and couldn't help gasping for breath.
However, Alex was calm and relaxed, with a thin layer of sweat on his skin, and his muscles were as healthy and beautiful as oiled.
"Take a break." Alex said, "Get ready for lunch."
Joey put the shield back and ended the morning class. He gobbled up a lot of food at noon. Alex said, "I will take a nap and take a bath later, and get up to read at two o'clock."
Joey was so tired that he couldn't speak, he nodded, went back to the room, took a shower, and fell asleep.
When he was sleeping comfortably, one hand touched his forehead.
"Are you sick?"
Joey opened his eyes and saw Alex sitting by his bed, hurriedly got up, and said, "Sorry, teacher, I must oversleep."
He glanced at the clock, it was half-past two.
Alex said: "Get up if you don't want to get sick, and go to bed early at night."
Joey got up sleepily to drink water, put on clean clothes, and went to the library.
There were carpets on the floor in the library. There are no chairs. Two-meter-high circular bookshelves were scattered around. In the center of the carpet, there was a low round table on which was placed a few books and pens that Joey did not finish reading yesterday.
