Cold weapons are a man's romance

"This guest is a beginner, please don't force others..." Lindsay was at a loss.

"It's just because I'm a beginner that I need someone to teach me! I don't even need class fees, and I give free lectures and guidance. What are you dissatisfied with? Maybe this guest thinks that I teach better and wants to join us instead!"

Roman finally understood the current situation.This red-haired young man presumably was a member of another club. The name of this trip was "Contest", but it was actually "Kicking the Pavilion".The so-called "free lectures" are [-]% bullying and bullying newcomers. If customers are scared away, it will be even more of his heart.

To be honest, Roman doesn't know this group of Griffin cultural shirts, nor does he know the Aurora Club. He is completely an innocent pond fish involved in the dispute between the two sides.He just wants to sit here and drink a cup of coffee, why can he be shot while lying down?

"I appreciate your kindness, but I haven't decided to learn it yet." He turned his head and said.

The red-haired youth let out a sneer from his throat: "Coward."

Roman was a little offended at being called a "coward," something he hadn't been called since he was 15.One of the benefits of joining the fencing club is that he has an epee of his own.Once he met someone who laughed at him face to face, he would point his epee like this, and then say coldly, "Tell me again if you have the kindness", and the other party would admit cowardice without exception.

But Roman's epee is not with him now, but the group of griffin cultural shirts are each carrying weapons.The man with bare hands loses first in terms of momentum.

The red-haired youth straightened his waist, moved his ten knuckles, and made a crackling sound. "If the members of your club are such cowards, I think it's over!—Hello, Lindsay!"

The lady at the front desk who was called was shocked: "Yes!"

"Come and practice with me!"

Lindsay panicked: "Me? Don't be joking, I can only make gestures twice..."

The red-haired young man grabbed Lindsay's wrist and pulled her in front of him. "Don't be modest! I will show mercy, I have always been polite to beautiful women!"

"Please, please let go!"

Roman clenched his fists.This is not just bullying, it's sexual harassment at all!

"Lindsay, we are guests from afar. What would Mr. Blackson say if he knew you were neglecting the guests?"

Lindsay's face was pale, and he hesitated: "I see... I'll just practice with you..."

The wrist of the red-haired youth was suddenly tightly grasped.He let go of Lindsay painfully.The front desk lady hid behind Roman while rubbing her wrists.

"I'll compete with you."

The red-haired young man bared his teeth like a shark: "Boy, the hero should weigh himself before saving the beauty!"

"Aren't you going to teach for free? You look very professional, please don't hide your secrets, let me see the real soldiers."

The red-haired young man puffed out his chest, took a step closer to Roman, and looked down on this Asian young man who dared to challenge him.

Roman stared back at him without panic, not flinching at all from his physical weakness.

This made the red-haired youth a little puzzled.Usually, just relying on the bulging muscles on his arms can scare away many guys who don't have long eyes. Friends say that there is a murderous look in his eyes.But muscle and murderous aura have no effect on this little weak chicken.Did he meet a hidden expert?Or is this guy a hot-blooded idiot?

No matter which possibility it is, he is eager to try it.

"Lindsay, do you have equipment that is specially rented out to customers?" The red-haired young man spoke to Lindsay, but stared at Roman motionlessly, "Lend a set to this gentleman. Next is the free teaching time."

***

"Sorry, Roman, for getting you involved."

Lindsay found a set of protective clothing that fit Roman's figure from the storage room, pulled off the dust cover, and handed it to the Asian young man with a guilty face.

"Actually, you don't have to listen to him at all. You are just a guest. It is my responsibility to deal with them..."

"I can't watch them bully you."

Lindsay smiled shyly: "Thank you, but I can handle it, as long as the boss and the others come back."

"Ah, that's exactly what I planned too. I'll delay the time later, you tell your boss to come back quickly." Roman paused, "Also, can you please call an ambulance for me?"

"Don't force yourself!"

"Pfft, just kidding." Roman helped her remove the dust cover, "Does your club often get kicked like this?"

"Of course not!" Lindsay opened her eyes wide. "There are quite a few ordinary exchange matches, but everyone will say hello in advance. Only Alex—the one with the red hair—he often makes surprise attacks. If Cesar It’s okay to be here, but today he just happened to be away..."

"Is there any enmity between them?"

"Who knows, he seems to dislike Cesar. Roman, you must be careful, Alex is quite powerful, you are a beginner..."

"Don't worry, I can't fight, can't I hide?"

There is a limit to the movements that human limbs can make. Even with a sword, the attack range is only so wide. Roman just needs to watch the timing to avoid the blade or distance himself.

The only thing he worries about is the old wounds on his body.The doctor advised him to give up fencing, but ordinary fitness exercises can still be done. After all, the duration and intensity of fitness exercises are not the same as professional fencing training.But does fencing count as "general fitness"?Roman didn't know how much exercise would be involved in a "contest", so he could only give it a try.If the old injury recurs, it will be his bad luck.

The protective clothing that Lindsay brought was very similar to the fencing protective clothing, except that the fencing uniforms were all white, and there were no extra decorations to ensure performance.And this protective suit is pitch black, with belts and metal buckles on the chest, and the design of the shoulders is a bit fancy, but it has to be said to be quite handsome.But it didn't ignore practicality because of the pursuit of appearance.Roman pinched the cuff and found that it was a rather thick layer of cotton.

Roman originally wanted to go to the locker room to change into protective clothing, but when he thought that Alex must be in the locker room, he became resistant.He didn't want to be honest with that arrogant red-haired boy.So he simply changed into protective clothing in the storage room.Lindsay strapped on his knee pads, then took a black saber from the rack.

"Here, all the nylon swords we rent out to our customers are this kind of nylon swords. Its weight and center of gravity are about the same as steel swords. Of course, it hurts a bit when it hits the body, but it will never cut, because there is no edge at all, and the material is not good. It is more elastic and can reduce some shocks."

Roman took the nylon saber and tried to swing it twice.The shape of the saber is similar to the saber in fencing, and the length is also similar, but the weight is two or three times that of the saber.The weight of the saber does not exceed 500 grams, but this nylon saber weighs at least 1 kilogram.

Saber... Roman was slightly distressed.Fencing is divided into three items: epee, saber and foil. Different items use different weapons, and the rules and tactics are also very different.Roman practiced epee, although saber is also good, but it is not his strong point after all.

"Any other swords?"

"Yes, but I think it's better for you to use this one, because you can use it with one hand, and..." Lindsay whispered close to his ear, "Alex is a very proud person, seeing you use it Saber, he would choose the same weapon. But he is the worst at sabers."

I see.Anyway, Roman doesn't know anything, so it's better to pick the opponent's weakness, maybe the opponent will lose to his own weakness before he makes a move.

Lindsay led him to the practice room.This place is like a yoga room in a general gym. There is a mirror wall facing the entrance, and there is a light yellow wooden floor under your feet.Alex was wearing a dark red protective suit, a mesh mask on his head, and a long nylon sword in both hands. He stood in the center of the practice room, motionless, like a knight guarding the city alone.His group of followers gathered at the other end of the room, sitting on the ground, talking and laughing, like elementary school students on a spring outing in the park.

Seeing the saber in Roman's hand, Alex made a "cut" sound under his mask.

"Ioannis!" he called to one of the footmen, "lend me your dick!"

The squire threw his saber to Alex.The latter threw down his long sword and danced with his sword.

"Lindsay told you, right? I'm the worst at saber skills."

The trick was seen through by Alex, and Lindsay turned her head guiltily.

Roman said: "It's fine if you're not good at this, I can change to other weapons."

Alexey was furious: "No matter how poor my skills are, I am better than a beginner like you! Do you think you can win with a little trick? Let me tell you, fighting is more about strength!"

Roman put on a protective mask.Lindsay behind said anxiously: "Don't force it. If you can't beat it, just admit defeat. It's not shameful. It's him who bullies the weak. He should be ashamed."

Roman raised the corners of his mouth under the mask.It's a pity that Lindsay couldn't see clearly through the protective net.

"I have my own measure, don't worry."

"Are you two finished talking?" Alex pointed the tip of the knife at Roman's nose, "Boy, today I will give you a unique lesson that will never be forgotten! Now I attack you, you block or hide Use my attack, of course you can also counterattack, hitting any part of the body is considered effective!"

"No time limit?" Roman was surprised.

Even through the mask, the reflection of Alex's big white teeth was clearly visible.

"Hit until you admit defeat!"

Roman looked at the clock on the wall.He arrived at the Aurora Club at about ten o'clock, and it is now 10:30. According to Lindsay, the boss and the others will be back at about eleven o'clock.Then just half an hour of delay is enough.

He raised his saber and gave a standard fencing salute to Alexei.Alexei returned the salute with his sword, and then he took a sudden step towards him, and the blade barely passed Roman.

Roman retreated quickly, dodging the blade.He didn't want to confront Alexei head-on, so he retreated slowly following the opponent's rhythm.He found that Alexei's footwork was very similar to the saber footwork, both moving in a straight line.Probably the same knife is used, so the principle is similar.

He simply applied fencing footwork.Alex moved forward, he retreated.After several failed attacks, Alex became impatient: "Have you practiced it before?! How could a beginner know this kind of footwork!"

Roman curled his lips, and said that he disappointed you. He really hasn't practiced it.

Seeing that the opponent didn't answer, Alex made a "cut", took a big step forward, and slashed at Roman with a diagonal knife.There was no way to dodge this sudden attack, so Roman subconsciously swung his knife to the left, blocking Alex's attack with the front of the blade.

Alex turned the blade around, and the blade slid towards Roman's wrist.Perhaps because of this, he was sure to hit, so he let out a proud "ha".Unexpectedly, Roman drew back the saber the moment he turned the blade, and easily avoided it.

Is it an illusion?Roman thought without worry.Or is it that Alex deliberately cast doubts so that he could carelessly underestimate the enemy?I always feel that this guy...

So slow.
