Cold weapons are a man's romance

Alisa and Cesar had a good chat, and they even opened a bottle of red wine and drank until they were slightly tipsy.Roman could only sit by the side like a light bulb the whole time.Cesar paid the bill graciously.They were all too drunk to drive, so Cesar went to stop the car at a nearby intersection, and Alisa held Roman's arm and hiccupped.

Now that Cesar was away, Roman and Alisa quickly entered the chat mode of girlfriends.

"I see that you guys are quite involved in the chat, there should be some drama, right?"

"Sorry, no show."

"What?! But didn't you all exchange cell phone numbers?"

"He's a good guy, but we don't fit. It can't be helped, it's in nature. I'm sorry, too, but I'm glad..."

Roman wondered.She was the one who pestered him to date Cesar, and she was the one who broke it off after the date.Are women so fickle?Generally speaking, if two people hit it off so well, they will definitely develop in the future, and even if they break up, it will be a matter of the future.Could it be that Alyssa is just pretending to be enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact, she has long given up her coveting for Cesar?But Cesar doesn't have any shortcomings that make people disillusioned on the spot?

"Are you out of your mind already?"

Alisa pushed back her blond hair, and her exquisite "first date dress" danced slowly in the night wind.Roman felt sorry for it.It did not bring luck to the owner.

"Roman, did you really not notice it at all? I saw it at first sight."

"See what?" Roman began to despair.Is his ability to perceive words and emotions so bad?

Alyssa tried to laugh, but ended up belching.She covered her mouth, tried in vain to conceal her embarrassment, and muttered: "It's fine if you don't find out, just let things develop naturally."

A taxi pulls up in the distance.Cesar poked his head out of the car and waved to them both.The driver frowned and reminded the passengers not to stick their heads and hands out of the window, but Cesar ignored them.Eventually the driver gave up.It doesn't make any sense to talk to a drunk about common sense about driving safety.

"Miss Alisa, I'll take you home!" Cesar said happily.Roman couldn't help pity him.He probably hasn't realized that he was kicked by Alisa.

"Thank you then!" Alisa said generously.

She opened the car door, turned her head and winked at Roman: "You really don't know how to be blessed, my dear, I don't know whether to envy you or beat you up."

Roman looked at the two laughing and laughing in the taxi in bewilderment.He and Alisa's house were in different directions, and they were not on the same road, so they had to call a car to go back.

Roman didn't know what this unresolved date brought to both parties.But it brought him only endless confusion and depression.What puzzled him was that he didn't understand why Alyssa was willing to give up such a handsome man (you must know that other women in the restaurant might pounce on Cesar immediately if they knew what she was thinking), and what was depressed was that Alyssa Lisa used his childhood black history as a talking point to get close to Cesar, and Roman felt that he and Cesar hadn't gotten to that point yet.What's even more exasperating is that, knowing that she and Cesar have nothing to do with each other, she still takes Roman as a topic of conversation. Isn't she human!

Roman returned home exhausted and fell headfirst on the bed.It was still early before bedtime, and he had to find something to do to pass the time.It's ridiculous to say that he never had to think about "how to pass the time before going to bed" before. A day's training is enough to make him fall asleep when he touches the pillow.Later, he had too much time to kill, and when he was bored, he would check Twitter and Facebook to see who was scolding him again today.Seeing them rushing tirelessly, Roman began to admire their perseverance. How much leisure do people have to do such a thing?However, he was busy reading these words scolding him, so he was quite free.

In the past few days, because of concentrating on "preparing homework", Roman even twittered less.He picked up the phone, hesitated with his fingers on the bird icon, and moved to the browser next to him.

Or stop looking for trouble.Wouldn't it be better to use this time to do something meaningful?

Roman sat up and grabbed the military textbook beside his pillow.He hasn't watched the video linked by the QR code at the back of the book yet.Cesar is so reluctant to let him watch it, maybe there is some dark history in the video.Now that Cesar knows his dark history, he can't be left behind.

He scanned the QR code and entered a video playlist.There are extremely detailed military combat teaching videos stored in different categories, from the history introduction of military combat to equipment explanations, to the basics of various weapons, sparring exercises, and advanced chapters - military combat video and commentary.Romain seemed to have fallen into the dragon's hoard, swimming in a sea of ​​gold and gems.Why wouldn't he be allowed to see such a baby Cesar?

He opened the video introducing the basic posture of the long sword.Accompanied by passionate music, two lines of five-cent characters with special effects appeared on the screen:

Basic posture of German swordsmanship

Demonstrator: Cesar Ripa

Roman immediately regained his spirits.Sure enough, it was Cesar in person!

In the video, Cesar is a few years younger than he is now, and his hair is not so long, just long enough to be tied into a small knot at the back of his head, which looks a bit childish.The posture he demonstrates is both standard and elegant. When the camera moves to the front of him, you can clearly see the breathtaking brilliance bursting out of his shining blue eyes.

Roman didn't pay attention to the subtitles and commentary next to him, he just admired Cesar's every move.The "crown style" he poses is noble and awe-inspiring, like a knight saluting; the "fool style" lifts weight lightly, and contains murderous intent in calm;Compared with him, Roman's posture can only be regarded as posing according to the gourd painting, not a real sword move at all.

The video ends soon.Roman just wanted to rewatch one side at a slow speed, but the phone automatically skipped to the next video: "Five Great Mysteries of German Swordsmanship".

I remember Cesar said that this is what I will learn in the next class, so it doesn't hurt to have a look.

The demonstrator who played this time was not only Cesar, but also another person as his training partner and opponent.It was a young man about the same age as Cesar, with a gloomy face, high cheekbones, and a thin body, which looked very familiar.Roman recalled every coach in the club, and he was sure there was no such person.It wasn't until the title of the video and the name of the demonstrator that Roman remembered who he looked like.

Demonstrator: Cesar Ripa

Edward Blackson

The owner of the Aurora Club is also named Blackson. Is this Edward his relative?Judging from the age, it may be Mr. Blackson's grandson.It makes sense, then, that he's not on the coaching roster.Is it strange that the young master of the boss's family recorded a teaching video for his own club?

In the video, Cesar is the attacker, and he demonstrates five moves, while Blackson Jr. is the defender, to demonstrate the effect of the moves against the enemy.The young Cesar and Mr. Blackson held swords against each other. Just after the subtitles read "The First Mystery: Wrath Strike", the silver-haired swordsman struck out a sword like thunder, so fast that Roman's dynamic eyesight almost couldn't see it clearly. .He went back and read it again, but this time his focus was not on the trick itself, but on the person performing the trick.

Cesar's sword is flowing and flowing, as precise as a surgeon using a scalpel, without any redundant movements.Had he lived in the Middle Ages, he would have pierced his opponent's swordsman with winter-like aura.Roman could not restrain himself from substituting himself into the perspective of the defender - if he attacked like this, he would be hit by Cesar on the shoulder; if he blocked like this, Cesar's sword would stab me in the chest...

Thinking of the cold and awe-inspiring sword passing over his deadly part, Roman's mouth became parched and his heart beat faster.

——No, no, what’s the point of getting sexually aroused after watching a swordsmanship video!

Roman jumped out of bed, rushed to the bathroom, and dunked his head in the cold water.

It's probably because he hasn't vented for too long and has too much energy, so he will think about strange things!

He wiped the water off his face, and jumped up to the attic in three steps and two steps.This place that he has always rejected has now become his holy place of refuge.He took down an epee, imitated the teaching video, and practiced all the mysteries one by one in a not-so-large space.Immersed in thinking about swordsmanship, he finally calmed down.He focused on the tricks and pushed those blushing thoughts out of his mind.

It wasn't until the clock at home started chiming that he realized that it was already twelve midnight.

***

The next day Roman came to the Aurora Club with two dark circles under his eyes.

"What's the matter, Roman, didn't you sleep well?" The energetic Cesar leaned on a long sword and stood proudly in the center of the practice room.

Thinking of the unbearable reaction last night, Roman's cheeks flushed slightly. "I... I practiced sword last night..."

"I'm so impressed by the coach who worked so hard. But Roman," Cesar lightly kicked the long sword and carried it on his shoulder with strength, "Pay attention to rest, and don't take your body seriously."

Roman is usually very concerned about his own health, especially after he was injured.It was an emergency last night.Of course he can't say to Cesar, "I saw your erection in the video of your swordsmanship teaching, so I vent my energy by practicing swordsmanship", this is undoubtedly sexual harassment!Maybe he will join the police station, and he will become famous for his crimes before he is famous for his swordsmanship!

He could only hew and haw his thanks to Cesar for his concern.

"End of gossip? Since you worked so hard last night, let me test the results."

Roman hurriedly made a roof pose. "I watched the video attached to the textbook last night, the part of the Five Great Profound Truths..."

Cesar's expression changed slightly. "You read?"

"Well, you and that Edward Blackson demonstrated it, didn't you? I think it's easy to understand. Why don't you let me see it?"

Cesare bit his lip. "Really, you saw..." He stared at the ground between his feet, with vertical lines unconsciously squeezed out between his brows, "Damn it, I should have recorded a new video if I knew it earlier. Forget it, just watch it Read it, but don't you ever mention the name Edward Blackson in clubs."
