Chapter Eleven: Practicing the Sword
The day after Allen chose the sword, Diamanti began to teach him sword skills. He did not teach him how to hold the sword, nor how to use magic power, nor how to teach him sword moves, but instead started the battle directly.
Alan held the great sword in both hands and stood in front of Diamanti. Diamanti held a sword in his hand, fluttering in the wind like a ribbon.
"Be careful, I'm going to attack."
Diamanti said, shaking the soft sword in his hand, the sword body was like waves, rising and falling up and down at Allen.
"See it."
Alan stared at the sword's path, raised the big sword in his hand, and blocked it upwards.
clang.
The big sword in Allen's hand blocked the tip of the sword. The seemingly light sword came with the sound of gold and iron intertwined.
This is Diamanti's fruit ability. Flying fruits and superhuman fruits can turn any object you come into contact with into a light and floating form like cloth silk, but the attributes of the object itself remain unchanged, and he himself can become such a form.
For example, this sword can be turned into a soft sword, but it is still steel and still very strong.
"Come again."
Diamanti shouted, shaking the hilt of the sword, and his sword body was like a long snake, stabbing towards Allen.
Alan immediately raised his sword and blocked it upwards. After blocking the attack, the soft sword was retracted, and then shook, and then attacked again, attacking Alan's chest.
Alan's great sword pressed down, blocked the attack, and slashed horizontally, slashing towards Diamanti.
But Diamanti didn't dodge or dodge, allowing the big sword to attack, and the soft sword in his hand stabbed Alan's face.
"not good."
Allen immediately stopped the movements in his hand, dodged to the left, avoiding the attack, but before he could stand firm, Diamanti kicked.
Bang.
Alan fell to the ground and made a muffled sound. He raised his head and looked at the other person.
"I told you to resist my attack."
Diamanti said loudly: "I didn't let you fight back, what are you doing?"
"Yes, I'm sorry." Allen whispered.
"besides……"
Diamanti raised his hand, knocked on his clothes, making a 'clang clang' sound, and said, "My clothes are all made by steel after they become softened. Even if you attack me, I will be unscathed. Not to mention, your attack is soft and cannot hit me at all."
"So you bastard, don't try to make any counterattacks. Do what I said and only block it."
Diamanti kept spitting out, and took a step back and said, "Stand up."
"yes."
Alan got up from the ground, and before he could stand firm, the soft sword shot towards Alan's body.
"So fast!"
Alan's eyes shrank, raised his sword to block the attack, but the soft sword attacked again, and Alan continued to block it.
It's getting much faster.
Allen had to swing his sword faster, but the sword was 20 kilograms long and kept waving, and soon his arms were a little tired.
puff.
The sword raised by Allen was slowing down a little, Diamanti's sword slashed across Allen's cheek, leaving a tiny wound.
The blood beads oozed out, Diamanti took back the sword and said, "I just accelerated a little bit, and you can't hold on for too long. Put down the sword and rest for two minutes, and then continue training."
"I see."
Allen nodded and understood what Diamanti had done just now. He could speed up and raise his limits, but this required explosive power and his arms would quickly become tired.
However, such training can increase your reaction and explosiveness, but according to Diamanti's method, you can only train your endurance.
Endurance can be trained in other ways, so why bother to fight when you come up?
Alan was a little confused, but didn't say much. He put down his sword and rested for a while, then was shouted by Diamanti and started the battle again.
Ding, ding, ding...
This time Diamanti's speed slowed down a little, and Allen kept blocking Diamanti's attack, up, down, left and right, blocking them all.
But ten minutes later, Allen's arms began to become tired, and Diamanti's attack was difficult to block.
But Alan still gritted his teeth and supported him hard until the sword hit, but Alan was unable to lift the sword in time.
puff.
Alan's ribs were scratched by a blade, his clothes were cut open, and a cut in his skin was revealed, Diamanti stopped again to let him rest.
This time I took a longer rest, took a five-minute break, and then I was shouted again.
In this way, Allen and Diamanti fought for an hour, and four tiny cuts appeared on their bodies. The blood oozed out wet their clothes, and their tired arms could no longer be lifted.
“That’s all today.”
Diamanti said, "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, continue to train here."
Leaving this sentence, Diamanti left the house, Alan put the sword in his hand aside and lay down on the ground, forming a large shape.
“The arms are so tired.”
Alan's arm muscles twitched at the end. How many times did he swing his sword in this hour? At least 1,500 times.
The weight of forty kilograms and more than 1,500 swings requires full concentration and continuous adjustment of direction, making Allen's arms extremely tired.
But what is the use of this?
There are obviously better ways to train endurance and strength, but this method is not very efficient.
Moreover, there is no way to teach the sword or the skill of swinging the sword, but just to block it. What is the increase in this for swordsmanship?
Is this Diamanti OK?
Allen had great doubts about Diamanty and always felt that he could not teach him well.
But this is the only way to go for the time being.
Allen lay there rested, and after a while, footsteps sounded and two figures ran in.
"Allen."
Baby5 squatted beside Allen's head, handed over a bottle of water, and said, "Drink some water."
"Thanks."
Allen sat up, took the water, unscrewed the cap, placed it beside his mouth, and sipped in big mouthfuls.
"Allen, are you tired?"
Baby5 said: "You should change to a lighter sword, this sword is too heavy."
“It’s already chosen.”
Allen put down the water bottle and said with a smile: "So let's do it for the time being."
"Yeah, you have great strength. After training for a while, you will get familiar with it."
Baby5 stood up, grabbed the hilt of the big sword, lifted it up hard, waved it for a moment, and said, "It's so heavy."
"Baby5, don't you need to practice swords?"
Allen asked curiously: "Do I remember you only practice shooting?"
Bang.
Baby5 put the sword on the ground and said, "I will only practice shooting for the time being, but practicing shooting is also very tiring."
The flintlock rifle is not light and has a large recoil. Baby5 is only seven years old now and is a delicate girl. It is okay to practice only one.
"I still need to practice boxing."
Bafaro said proudly, "I not only have to practice guns, but also to practice boxing with Grandpa G."
What's the use of you?
If you have to fight in the future, it is better not to practice.
"You have the nerve to say it."
Baby5 heard Bafaro's words and couldn't help but say, "I'm lazy every day, and I'm lazy when practicing guns. I'm not as good as me."
"I, when did I get lazy?"
Bafaro was so angry that he started arguing with baby5, and the two of them quarreled.
"Let's go, it's noon."
Allen stood up and said, "We're ready to have a meal."
Allen planned to finish his meal, take a break at noon, then practice physical fitness in the afternoon, and then continue practicing swordsmanship.
However, after two o'clock in the afternoon, after running around the garbage disposal plant for ten laps, Guladius found him while he was doing a curl on the ground, "Hey, boy, stop and follow me to practice shooting."
"Senior Guladius, do I also want to practice shooting?"
Alan was a little surprised and stood up from the ground.
"Um."
Guladius nodded and said, "From today, you will practice shooting with me every afternoon. Follow Senior G to practice boxing at night."
"You also need to practice boxing?"
Allen was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he had been assigned three training sessions.
"This is the order of the young master."
Guladius turned around and said, "Stop talking nonsense, come with me."
