If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Chapter 588 Training (14)

City Children's Palace, Musashi Kendo Training Center.

In the center of the field, two people wearing kendo protective gear and holding bamboo swords were facing each other.

It's still a familiar place, it's still a familiar venue, but the person holding the bamboo sword on one side is a new face for the first time. The indigo cotton kendo robe and black hakama (kù) tightened the figure tightly, and her gender could be seen from the undulating curves.

The girl held the bamboo sword in both hands in a very standard posture. There was no way it was not standard. Anyone who had been corrected for the same posture all day long would have to form muscle memory. There was no audience at the edge of the dojo. At most, there was only a middle-aged instructor drinking tea. He sat under a calligraphy and painting "Heart is like still water" with a face as calm as a Taoist master, looking at the two "students" confronting each other in the field, with nothing in his eyes. Any ripples of expectation probably come from not having any expectations about the outcome of this sparring match from the beginning.

The person on the right was the first to move. He took a step forward without drawing his sword but performed a Qiai. The sound was deafening and so energetic that it almost made ripples in the coach's teacup. In a daze, it could even make people think that Qiai was done. It's not a human being, but a "roar" that can resonate and tremble in the eardrums, similar to that of a liger or beast.

The girl holding the sword on the left did not take a step back or show fear because she was already a little numb. If it was the first time to see this kind of aura, even experienced kendo practitioners would be shocked for a moment, but if you are exposed to it in a day, If the Qihe shook more than dozens of times, he would probably be like her, with only a slight sway of mind, but no flaws in his movements.

The swordsman on the right took a big step forward and made a thrust. The movement was not fast and even appeared to be very slow. The girl raised her bamboo sword to block the thrust and moved it up to separate it. Just as she was about to counterattack, she suddenly received a strong blow on her head. A slash of the sword struck her right in the face, and the protective gear made a crisp sound with huge force, knocking her down to the ground.

The outcome has been decided.

The coach at the edge of the dojo took a sip of tea and shook his head, probably lamenting that someone was probably destined to be an orphan in his life.

"Yes, I have made great progress. Although I have slowed down the speed of drawing the sword, it is already amazing that you can defend yourself after resisting the shock of Qihe. For a newcomer to the sword, you are already qualified." Lin Nianqi He took off his mask and reached out to pull the girl up on the ground.

Su Xiaoqiang took off his mask and his face turned a little rosy, not because he was moved or shy, but simply because of the heat. Even though the air conditioning was turned on in the kendo hall, it was still very stuffy while wearing protective gear. In addition, the lining of the protective gear had been removed due to strenuous exercise. All her clothes were probably stuck to the girl's fair and slim body, which was a bit uncomfortable for her who loved to be clean and often wore cool clothes, but she didn't complain at all, because the boy opposite was standing here like her.

"Is kendo a compulsory course at Kassel Academy?" Su Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand and gently put it behind his back, feeling a little painful. He didn't dare to rub the sore buttocks too much because of the boy standing in front of him. She thought it was incredible that she didn't cry. In the past, she would never have imagined that one day she would be beaten with a bamboo sword for a whole day.

"Kendo is not a compulsory course, but actual combat is." Lin Nian saw Su Xiaoqiang's embarrassment, and just gently leaned over to help the girl. After all, the place where she fell was too sensitive, and he couldn't rub it for her.

"Kassel Academy focuses on practical combat. No matter which training direction students are in, they will definitely be proficient in close combat and long-range shooting courses. Even clerks need to be proficient in combat, so I need to try my best to make you adapt before enrolling. This kind of atmosphere will prevent you from being unable to hold the weapon steady when someone points a gun at you or goes through actual combat drills." Lin Nian casually waved his bamboo sword and let out a frightening whine in the air. A sharp sound.

In the morning, I came out of Su Xiaoqiang's house and got into the rented Ferrari. The girl originally thought that the bright summer should have bright dreams. The boy would take her to the sunny coastal beach in the coastal city, idling on the cobblestone road while blowing wind. The sea breeze looked at those couples strolling hand in hand in cool swimsuits, but unfortunately the truth is cruel. The Ferrari did not idle, and the boy did not dream of a date on the beach. After putting it in gear, he kicked the accelerator and hit the highway at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, without turning on the navigation system. Without hesitation, he pressed all the way to the Children's Palace. Su Xiaoqiang thought at the time that there was no beach. It would be fine to visit the art exhibition held in the city at the Children's Palace. After all, the art museum was also one of the holy places for dating. Then she watched the boy take her to the kendo hall, where she was taken to the kendo hall by a middle-aged coach with a charming smile. A protective gear like a turtle shell covered her body.

If you fail to guess the coin, the date will turn into a beating. Any girl would probably have a full anger bar, but this trick doesn't work with Lin Nian, because according to Su Xiaoqiang's understanding of him, if any girl loses her temper in front of him, , there is no "coaxing" option in his mind at all, but he thinks there is something wrong with your brain, so he turns away very naturally and thinks in his heart that this person is a pure idiot. It is for this reason that Su Xiaoqiang has always been in high school. I feel relieved about this boy, because any green tea person who approaches the boy with scheming intentions will encounter a wall and get frustrated. Anyone who has a trance and hints that Lin Nian bought her something as a gift will not be a happy ending.

"Let's take a rest." Lin Nian looked at the girl whose hair was stuck to the sweat on her forehead and nodded, put down the bamboo sword in her hand, and helped her take off her thick protective gear, revealing a white Taoist uniform that was wet with sweat. , after gently pulling open the collar of some gi uniforms, you will see the beautiful collarbones, which are also wet with sweat. If you reach out and gently scrape, you can still get some shiny water stains on the collarbones.

Su Xiaoqiang sat there and rested. Lin Nian turned around and went to bring her cold tea outside the dojo. As he walked over, he saw the coach sitting next to him looking at him with a look of regret on his face and shaking his head, "You have fallen."

"?" Lin Nian reached for the tea with a confused expression.

"Xiao Nian, I remember you said that it's really unpredictable if you don't eat grass on the edge of the nest."

Lin Nian looked back at Su Xiaoqiang and wanted to refute something, but he couldn't say anything. He took the cold tea and put it next to the girl. The coach smiled and waved for him to come over and sit down, "When did the relationship be confirmed?"

"Not yet." Lin Nian sat next to the coach, picked up the herbal tea, gently rubbed the rim of the cup and took a sip.

"No? It seems like you are more than a friend but a lover is not satisfied? You can bring a girl to the kendo gym to be beaten all day long. Your relationship is beyond that of many ordinary couples." The coach said, today For the sake of Lin Nian, all the training classes at the Musashi Kendo Hall had a special day off, and the venue was reserved for the two of them. The coach, who had nothing to do, just brewed a pot of tea and watched boys beating girls from morning to afternoon. During this period, there was nothing but lunch. As for any recreational activities, putting on protective gear is just a turn of actual combat practice. The roar of Qi He makes a middle-aged man like him feel a little unsure about his tea.

What surprised him the most was that this beautiful girl like a rich lady actually withstood a whole day of training. According to the coach's life experience, such a delicate girl would inevitably complain after an hour at most, and according to the coach's life experience, He knew Lin Nian's character. If a girl complained, she would probably pack her things and be thrown out of the kendo gym. After finally seeing Lin Nian bring a girl on a "date", he was ready to be the peacemaker (so He had just been sitting here for a day), but this scene never happened. The girl didn't say a word of complaint. She sat down to rest when she was really weak. After resting, she gritted her teeth and stood up to continue practicing. She was so persistent. Like the boy the coach once saw standing outside the window of the kendo gym.

"It's not that you two are a good match." The coach looked at the girl in the distance who was lying on the ground with bare feet, facing the ceiling, closing her eyes slightly and exhaling, sweating profusely, and then looked at the expressionless Lin Nian in front of him and said, "You two The two are simply a match made in heaven. Why don't you just say it outright?"

"It's not too late to talk about that after some troublesome things are resolved."

"Have you kissed me?" The coach suddenly opened his eyes, his old face was full of constriction.

"No."

"There's no chance or are they unwilling?"

"It's not yet time."

"It seems that I really like it." The coach suddenly turned his head and sighed, "In the past, whenever I talked about these things, you would subconsciously stop talking, but you are different today."

Lin Nian didn't say anything but nodded. The coach looked at Su Xiaoqiang in the distance and nodded, "This girl is really nice. I can tell she likes you very much. If you like her too, don't miss it. I told you before, It is better to find someone who likes you than to find someone who likes you, so that you will never suffer in a relationship. Even if you become a scumbag, others will be hurt. I know it is not good for me to say this, but after all, you have a better relationship with me. , I think things will always turn towards the people close to you. But it is particularly good for you to be like this now. You have met someone who likes you and someone you like, instead of simply using her as the basis for future progress. Emotionally Pure despicableness can outweigh interests. In this case, don’t miss it and seize the opportunity to fight for eternity that people of our age can’t even imagine.”

"Is this an advice given to young people by someone who has experienced it?"

"I always thought you would be single for the rest of your life. Xiaonian, you are too straightforward. Whether it is relationships or life, you know the twists and turns in things but you are unwilling to give way. Whatever you do will appear awkward. Be sensible, people like you will be beaten when entering society, or the ones who get beaten may be your immediate superiors. If they lose face to you, you dare to pick on them, but it is really fun to do this, and you have to consider the consequences. ." The coach said, "Sometimes, just bear with it if you can, and don't be in a hurry to fall out. The same goes for relationships. In my opinion, this girl is really good. I should pamper her more and make her happy. She likes you. The happiest thing for a person is when you reveal your love for her. Understanding this, the two of you will be much more relaxed and go further in the future."

"Is today a life coaching session?" Lin Nian glanced at the coach and said calmly.

"Well, I don't have to teach you swordsmanship anymore. I can only say some nice words to give you some life experience. Otherwise, how could you, who is prosperous and wealthy in the United States, still remember that there is still someone like me in a children's palace in a remote rural area? Character?" The coach teased with a smile, "If nothing else, when will you two confirm your relationship? Let's talk for a few more years and get married right away when we are old enough to get married. Maybe I can even drink your wedding wine and give you a wedding gift. A red envelope."

"It's far away." Lin Nian drank the herbal tea in one gulp and stood up. Su Xiaoqiang, who was not far away, turned his head and sniffed when he saw it. He stood up hard and prepared to continue being whipped by the young swordsman master, but at this moment At that moment, Lin Nian's cell phone placed on the side of the floor suddenly rang. He glanced down at the incoming call and picked up the phone to answer the call. Su Xiaoqiang stood in the dojo and watched the boy speak a few words to the other end of the phone and then raised his head slightly and said to her, "That's it for today."

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoqiang did not feel relieved because the training was over, but subconsciously took a few steps forward and asked.

"What was expected." Lin Nian put down his cell phone and looked at the red sunset passing through the gaps between the plane trees outside the kendo hall window, "Lu Mingfei rejected the Kassel Gate."
