"What are you laughing at?" Cesar asked displeased, "Do you have any comments on my aesthetic preferences?"

Augustus went too far: "No."

"Then keep practicing!"

Cesar put on the face of the devil's coach and urged Roman and August sharply, and any mistake they made could not escape his eyes.Roman was severely criticized by him several times.In the past, even if he made the most low-level mistakes, Cesar always reprimanded him with a friendly face and settled the matter.Today he has changed.

It must be the fault of August for his talkativeness.Roman thought.

After being scolded by Cesar for nearly an hour, the two of them finally ended the practice in disgrace and were liberated.Roman went to the locker room to change, and August fell behind with heavy steps.

"Don't drag the sword on the ground." Cesar walked beside him, "What if the floor is damaged?"

"You care more about the floor than about my sword?"

"The floor is the property of the club, your sword is not."

August made a "cut" in dissatisfaction, then rolled his eyes slyly, and a wonderful idea of ​​mocking Cesar came to his mind.

"Scarlett Johansson and Halle Berry, huh? Your casual nonsense skills are getting better every year." He couldn't help a smirk on his tired face, "I thought your left hand was called Roman, and your right hand Also called Roman."

Cesar immediately covered his mouth. "Hush! What if he hears you!"

"Fuck, is it true?! I was just talking nonsense, but it actually hit the spot?!"

"Of course not!" Cesar exclaimed.

"Don't explain Cesar, I'm not a kid anymore, I understand."

"If you dare to say another word," Cesar threatened, "from now on your left hand will be called 'Captain Hook's left hand', and your right hand will also be called 'Captain Hook's left hand'!"

"Hey! Roman!" August called.

Roman poked his head out from the locker room: "What are you doing?"

He took off his protective clothing, only wearing a pair of tights, his upper body was naked, and his tight muscle lines kept changing with his movements.

"Cesar has something to tell you." August pointed to the coach beside him.

"what's up?"

Cesar covered his nose, trying not to let his blood splatter three feet. "It's nothing, wait until you change your clothes..."

"Hurry up, Cesar, didn't you say that matter is very important?" The little emperor couldn't hide the gloating expression on his face.

Roman didn't know why, so he followed August and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly, or I'm in a hurry!"

"It's nothing, it's just...just..." Cesar stared at the floor tightly, "Tomorrow's game, you should do what you can, don't force yourself, everything is about health, so..."

"My body is not as bad as you imagined. Don't treat me like I'm made of glass." Roman smiled in relief.He stepped forward to hug Cesar lightly, and gave him a few comforting pats, "But thank you for your concern."

Cesare was speechless.He was stunned, and the moment Roman touched him, his soul seemed to escape from his body, and he ascended to heaven contentedly.

"I'm going to take a shower first." Roman let him go.

He returns to the locker room.Cesar took a deep breath, leaned back, staggered, leaned against the wall, and slowly slid on the ground.

At the same time, Mr. Blackson, the owner of the Aurora Club and an old-fashioned British gentleman, passed by here. He was surprised to find that his favorite student was sitting in a corner with his knees hugged, his whole face buried in his knees, only a pair of red ears looming among the silver hair.

"Cesar." The old man called.

"Ok?"

"what happened to you?"

"It's nothing."

"Why are you sitting there? It's in the way. Stand up."

"I can't get up..."

"why?"

Cesare raised his head slightly, his blue eyes glanced up, then turned away shyly.Although he covered most of his face with his elbow, he still couldn't hide the gradually rising blush.

"Roman gave him a hug with no clothes on just now!" August couldn't stand up with a smile: "Oh, Cesar, you can use your 'Left Roman' and 'Right Roman' now."

Mr. Blackson thought for a while, and said "ah", and understood the deep meaning of August's words.But his face was calm, and this little episode could not shake this elder who had gone through decades of ups and downs and had rich life experience.Restraining himself with grace, he bowed to Cesar, picked up his cane, and turned away with the swiftness of the wind.

***

The next day, the friendly match between "Aurora Knights" and "Griffon Guard" was officially held.The location is in a gymnasium not far from the Aurora Club.The club rented a basketball court as a playing field.Apart from the contestants, most of the club members also came to watch the match, and some even brought high-speed cameras.Except for the rookies like Roman and August, most of the participants in the battle were masters, such as Cesar and Lawrence in the town.How can everyone miss the opportunity to see master swordsmanship?

There were also a lot of people from the Griffin Guards, and Roman noticed Alex's flashing red hair outside the gymnasium.He was carrying his sword and happily talking to his teammates.When he caught a glimpse of his opponent coming from another direction, the smile disappeared instantly from his face.He snorted coldly, turned his head, and pretended not to notice the group of people.

Cesar came forward to say hello on behalf of the Aurora Club.Everyone except Alex greeted him with a smile.The red-haired youth looked up at the sky, pretending to have an unparalleled interest in the airplane clouds.

"Hey, Alex, I heard that you participated in both long sword and saber this time?" Cesar asked ignorantly.

"So what? Are you afraid?" The red-haired youth was domineering.

"It's nothing, I just want to say that you are so self-motivated. If you watch other people's saber skills on the court, you will improve more or less sooner or later."

"you--!"

The companions of the Griffon Guard laughed and held Alex who was shaking his fist. "Okay, don't fall for his tricks, he is deliberately provoking you!"

"Of course I know he's provoking! I'm not angry!" Alex insincerely shook off his companions, tugged at his collar a few times, and walked into the gym angrily.

Cesar watched him go away, very puzzled. "Why are you so excited, I'm telling the truth..."

He turned to his teammates, seeking their approval, but they responded with infinite silence.Sometimes Roman really can't tell whether Cesar is sneering or talking out of his head.

Since Cesar was so unreliable, Lawrence became the team leader.The dark-haired man who looked much older than his actual age led everyone into the locker room and instructed them to start warming up.Roman, who often gets lost inside the building, is very grateful to this reliable leader, otherwise he might lose his direction in life after going to the toilet.

The first competition is the saber project.Cesar played forward, and the other two players, Roman, were not very familiar with each other and could not speak much.The three of them played first, and Roman and August entered the field together, so they had the right to observe and learn.Lawrence also served as the linesman for the saber team.The two clubs each have a referee, and then invite a referee from a third party to form the referee group for this competition.Lindsay is the scorekeeper.

The referee was wearing a suit and vest, leaning on a long stick and talking to Lindsay on the sidelines.Roman felt that this person looked familiar, and only after August reminded him did he remember that he was a very famous swordsmanship broadcaster on YouTube.

"Why is he holding a stick?" Roman asked quietly.

"When necessary, the referee will stop the contestants from continuing to fight. If you don't use the stick, do you want them to catch the sword with bare hands?" Auguste rolled his eyes at him, "And this is a tradition. Whoever the referee points with the stick means whoever scores .”

There was a lot of people in the hall, and there were no empty seats. Many people who came late simply stood in the aisle to watch the battle.Roman was sure that most of them were unfamiliar and not members of Aurora.

"Is the Griffin Guard out in full force? There are too many people?" he asked.

"The game is also open to the public, many of whom are ordinary spectators," August said.

"Is this friendly match an important event?"

To be honest, the number of spectators off the field is larger than that of many formal fencing competitions.

August shrugged: "Most of them are directed at Cesar."

"Ah, Humphrey also said that Cesar is a golden signboard to attract traffic, but I was a little surprised to see it with my own eyes. I didn't expect him to be so popular."

August looked at Roman as if he were an alien visitor.

"'Slightly' surprised? Just 'popular'?" The little emperor's voice changed his tone in shock, "What kind of information does your cerebellum, which is not much bigger than a walnut, usually absorb?"

"I... did I say something wrong?"

The referee finished talking with Lindsay, moved to the center of the basketball court with a stick, raised his hand, and signaled the two teams to enter the field.There was a deafening cheer from the audience.First came Alex and Cesar.Alex's expression was the exact opposite of his fiery red hair, as cold as if he had just returned from a trip to Antarctica.Cesar was smiling and kept waving to the audience.There is a cloth belt wrapped around each arm of the two men, Alex is the red side, Cesar is the blue side.Each line judge has two small red and blue flags in their hands, and they will use the way of raising the flag to indicate which player wins.

August folded his arms and stared at his teacher.

"Swedish Swordfish Championship long sword, fast sword double event three consecutive championships, saber event No.3, and also won the ranking in all European fencing competitions."

The referee signaled the two contestants to put on their masks.He tapped the ground with his long stick, stood between the two of them, and then gave Lindsay a wink.Lindsay pressed the timer and at the same time the referee raised the stick and called "Go".

"Currently ranked No. [-] in the world in terms of points, the well-deserved emperor of the military world, nicknamed 'Caesar of the Sword'. I thought you knew this before worshiping him as a teacher, but it turned out not? How did you come to worship under him? ? By mistake?"

Roman covered his face: "I'm sorry, my apprentice is too unqualified..."

"Look at you, I think I'll win this time." August grinned, "Are you ready to be my dog ​​for a day?"

clang!Two sabers intertwined.All the audience held their breath at the same time, and the field was so quiet that only the sound of metal clashing and footsteps rubbing against the smooth floor could be heard.
