She Chooses To Destroy the World

Early the next morning, Alice followed Roma to his training ground in the farm.

This martial arts field was specially set up by Roma after he bought the farm. As a man who has been a mercenary for so many years, it is impossible for Roma to simply retire and live a completely different rural life from before. There is a martial arts training ground, whether it is to exercise muscles and to teach students, it is very convenient to do anything.

Rom spent the whole night thinking about Alice and barely slept. Now he yawned and asked Alice to swing his sword to show him:

"Although you have been using the rapier all the time, but you always watch me use the giant sword, you can still make two gestures, right?"

Alice nodded. She had already used this sword on the battlefield before, and she had mastered a little skill without a teacher. The master asked her to swing a sword, and she also took a few poses to show him. This huge sword was extremely heavy. It was originally used by a strongman like Dewitt. Roma was somewhat worried that she could not control it. At this time, seeing her holding the sword in her hand easily, it was actually different from the thin sword she used before. Not big, secretly surprised.

The child's strength has not only increased by a little bit. Today, no matter who she compares strength with, she probably won't lose. But to use the giant sword well, it's not just a matter of strength. Roma looked at her with arms folded, and nodded as he watched:

"It seems that you have no problem with this sword, but you need to practice more. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong in these two days, just to give you special training."

Alice's eyes lit up when she heard that there was a special training.

In the past three years with her master, the two of them have lived in no fixed place. Except for the first few months, in fact, they rarely had the opportunity to spare a whole block of time for training. In most cases, they take advantage of the early time to train for a while, or simply direct guidance on the battlefield. Although this is very efficient, it is somewhat out of order. Now the master has decided to give her special training, which can be said to be of great benefit to her swordsmanship.

The master and apprentice did what they said, and they practiced on the same day. Alice's strength is not what it used to be. Even if she uses a giant sword, she still has a sense of lightness. Roma taught her a little improvement on her sword technique. She quickly realized that she was quite blue and better than blue. Seeing her like this, Roma felt that even if she were to take on the task of a super mercenary by herself, she would probably be relieved.

The master and disciple had an agreement that when Alice reached the age of seventeen, they would go their separate ways. Alice had passed her seventeenth birthday on the battlefield as early as, but no one mentioned this matter again. One was devoted to teaching and the other was serious. Just thinking about making Alice stronger.

The two masters and apprentices had just trained for a few days, and the Mercenary Guild sent a notice: Alice has passed enough tests and can already be promoted to a special mercenary. This incident had been anticipated by the master and apprentice as long as they were not surprised to receive the notice. However, the notice also stated that the ceremony for Alice to be promoted to a special mercenary will be held in the square in the royal capital in a month. The master and the disciple understood that when that day came, it was almost time for them to truly separate. Thinking of this, the two are somewhat sentimental.

But time is limited, and now is not the time to be sentimental.

The special training is still going on. Roma is very strict with her, giving his housekeeping skills to his fullest. They spent the last month like this.

On the day before the promotion ceremony, Roma taught Alice his last life-saving trick. Holding a sword in his hand, he demonstrated to Alice:

"Regardless of whether your opponent is strong or weak, the giant sword will attract the opponent's attention very well. If you feel that you are no match for the opponent, use your left hand to pull out the hidden dagger and stab it. The opponent's attention is on the giant. On the sword, such a sneak attack is easy to succeed. Come and try."

Alice tried several times according to Rohm's instructions, but she didn't move fast enough, and she was somewhat hesitant. Roma stopped every time she attacked.

"You can't do this," Rohm frowned. "If you want to use this method to sneak attack, you can't hesitate to start. Do you think that such a method is a bit unsatisfactory and too despicable?"

Alice was seen through by the master and smiled embarrassedly.

She did feel that this hand was not fair enough, but thinking about it carefully, the sneak attack method taught to her by her master was actually not much different from the method she used to kill Devitt before. It was just that her life was on the eve of the day, and while the other party was not on guard, raising a dagger to kill was almost an instinctive reaction, and there was no room to consider whether it was a sneak attack.

Rom sighed:

"If you are a nobleman, you might think that this method is a bit unreasonable and insults the glory of the soldiers. But we are only mercenaries. As long as we receive the money, we can sell our lives for anyone. You have to remember that we have never been in this line of business. From that moment on, the so-called glory has been abandoned. Even if we are super mercenaries, they are nothing but false names. We are mercenaries without family or friends. For us, glory is used A great luxury. All we have is this life. The nobles who died in battle may be regarded as heroes, but the mercenaries who died in battle are nothing but the dirt under the feet of the living... You will be You are going to fight alone. At that time, don't forget what I said."

Roma's words were shocking. Although Alice is ignorant, after listening to this, she also vaguely understands:

Her master's survival to the present, probably not only because of luck.

She thought of the mercenary DeWitt who was killed by her. If it hadn't been because he wanted to cut her hair off as a show off, she wouldn't have had a chance to kill him. If he understands the truth that Roma said at this time, maybe he can still be alive now.

After thinking about this, she nodded to Roma:

"Master, I understand."

While she was talking, she rehearsed the technique that Roma had taught her. This time, she acted decisively, and the tip of the knife pointed at his abdomen without being blocked.

Seeing her growth, Roma smiled relievedly:

"If you can achieve this level, you can be assigned to the division. Even if you take over the task as a special mercenary, there is probably no problem."

"Don't worry, I won't be ashamed of Master."

Rom shook his head:

"You still don't understand what I'm talking about. I have been a mercenary since I was a teenager, and my partner who went on the battlefield with me is no longer there. I have already made up my mind to no longer build closer intimacy with others. In order to avoid the pain of losing relatives and friends again, but when I felt relented, I accepted you as an apprentice... I just don’t want to see a loved one die again."

Alice looked at Roma in amazement, and for the first time understood the side that had never been revealed in his heart. Her astonishment made Roma regret to confide in his heart, and quickly changed the subject:

"Ahem, don't talk about this. I remember you once said that you want to reveal your true face at the promotion ceremony. Have you thought about how to do it?"

Rom really knows the knack for changing the subject, and Alice shuddered when she heard this.

The promotion ceremony is about to be held tomorrow. She had been thinking about this issue, but the fact that she had almost lost her life in the mission made her divert her attention. Recently, she has been busy with special training. She didn't think about it at all.

Although she and Roma both believed that the Mercenary Guild could not give up a special mercenary because of her female status, but they were not the ones who really made the decision. There is no precedent for this, and the result is difficult to say accurately. Alice frowned tightly, but saw Roma smile at her calmly:

"You haven't thought about it yet? It doesn't matter, I have a good way. I will be up to my master tomorrow."
