The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Everyone on the side had already pricked up their ears when they saw Ren being called over alone by instructor Kuhlman.

Now, when I heard that the instructor wanted to have a sparring session with Renn, I immediately became excited!

At this time, Renne, who was about to follow Kuhlman, heard voices coming from the side, which seemed to come from another instructor's evaluation of Evelin. He saw the other instructor holding information and reading softly:

"Evelyn Norman has average strength, average speed, average fire witchcraft skills, average knight combat skills, average combat reflexes, and average combat decision-making."

"Well, the examiner's evaluation and suggestion for you is that you have certain independent combat capabilities. It is recommended that you serve as an attacker in the sword-wielding team, and your potential is estimated to be medium."

"Of course, this is only an evaluation result based on your performance during the initial test. The organization fully respects everyone's wishes."

"Relevant training content and instructor (mentor) recommendations are as follows"

Ren suddenly understood!

It turns out that this is a normal evaluation report.

My own evaluation report is a special case.

As Renn followed Kuhlman to the small training room nearby, all the newcomers in the hall suddenly looked disappointed.

The two of them actually went to the small room?

Lost the opportunity to feast your eyes on it!

Several people were looking forward to Ren being well taken care of by instructor Coleman. At this time, they stood on tiptoes and looked into the small training room, but unfortunately, the door was closed.

Small training room.

Lane and Kuhlman stood in the middle of the field.

At this time, Ren had the opportunity to take a closer look at Coleman, the Warhammer instructor. His skin was a little brown, and he didn't know whether it was because of the sun or because of his own skin color. His muscles were extremely strong, and the muscles looked like iron lumps. generally.

He is half a head taller than Ren, about two and a half meters tall.

In addition, the two-handed war hammer carried behind the back is about one and a half meters long, silver-grey, and does not look like a single metal, but rather a mixture of multiple metals. It is heavy at first glance.

"I heard two days ago that in this batch of preliminary examinations, someone knocked down the obsidian giant with one hammer. Today I finally saw the real person." Coleman said with a grin.

"In the next battle, I will gradually increase my strength and speed. As for you, Ren, just let go and do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about hurting me. You can defeat the Obsidian Giant. In my heart, you are actually on the same level as me. I’m a master, I won’t take it lightly.”

Kuhlman's face hardened and he said seriously.

"Okay, then I'll ask Instructor Coleman for guidance." Renn bowed slightly and said.

The next second, "Whoosh!"

The two figures flashed past and clashed with each other quickly.

"clang!!!"

As the two heavy hammers intersected for the first time, there was a harsh sound of metal clashing!

Ren's hands suddenly felt numb.

From this confrontation, Renn estimated the strength of this instructor Coleman, who was most likely a peak knight.

Although this time is just a test, Renn does not intend to let go or cheat. Instead, he chooses to take it seriously in order to accurately test where he is deficient and facilitate future improvements.

"Cang! Cang!"

Soon, Renne discovered that the opponent's second hammer was more powerful than the first hammer. As soon as the second hammer ended, the third hammer swung quickly. Coleman's heavy hammer attack was extremely intensive!

In addition, the power and speed of each of Kuhlman's hammers are indeed improving with each hammer as he said at the beginning!

This increased the pressure on Renne!

Soon, he reached the upper limit of his current physical fitness.

"Break the limit!"

As Renne started breaking the limit, his speed and power suddenly surged, but Coleman also reacted very quickly. After fighting again, he immediately increased his strength and speed to the same level as Renne's limit breaking!

As a result, the fighting situation returned to before, and Coleman continued to increase the power and speed of each blow.

This immediately made Ren's eyes freeze.

What a strong strength!

Before the battle, Coleman told Renn not to hold back, so it didn't take long for Renn to activate his talent 'Intermediate Strength'.

"Juli!"

As Ren's muscles swelled, he was suddenly half a head taller than Kuhlman, and Kuhlman's face, which had always been emotionless, showed a look of surprise for the first time!

"clang!"

For the first time, Lane knocked Coleman back several steps!

In an instant, Coleman's body grew sharply, and he steadily received Renne's second blow.

This was the first time that Renn encountered someone who could withstand his attack head-on with all his strength.

"Cang! Cang!"

The sound of the clash was deafening!

Even the people in the hall could clearly hear the sound of weapons clashing!

Many people turned their heads to look this way, with regrets on their faces, as if they were saying, 'It's such a pity not to be able to see the fight between Ren and Instructor Coleman.'

suddenly!

A buzzing sound sounded from the small training room, followed immediately by a thunderous sound!

This made several instructors look shocked.

Is this all a secret?

Is this newcomer really that strong? Coleman may have really met his opponent this time!

Could it be that Coleman lost to the newcomer? That would be embarrassing.

At this time, the door to the small training room suddenly opened. Although both Coleman and Renne were sweating profusely, they walked out together with smiles on their faces.

In addition, several instructors have keenly noticed that Kuhlman's hands still seem to be shaking slightly at this moment, with his hands behind his back.

This couldn't help but put a smile on their faces.

hey-hey! This is when a reckless man meets an even more reckless person!

In the battle just now, Renne did not use the method of adding points to restore his physical strength. Otherwise, even if Instructor Coleman was a peak knight, he would have to be exhausted by Renne.

Renne knew very well that the purpose of this battle was to allow Coleman to give him opinions and suggestions from the perspective of an instructor, rather than cheating to win.

However, although Renn did not win, in this battle, he felt that he was more fully engaged and contented than the time when he defeated the Obsidian Giant with one hammer.

At the same time, the system rewards a lot of experience points:

[Your skill Tokkal Hammer has been improved, and your experience value is +671]

(Note: The above skills and experience have already enjoyed the 30% increase of the exclusive talent ‘Elementary Extraordinary Comprehension’.)

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +198]

After the two returned to the hall, they only heard Kuhlman say: "Ren, I already understand your situation. Now let me tell you my suggestions for you."

"As for the combat skills of the hammer technique, it can be said that there is not much difference between you and me, and I have nothing to teach you."

"If you want to improve your hammer skills in the future, on the one hand, you have to learn more on your own, and on the other hand, you have to find a master who specializes in hammer skills. It is hard to imagine that at your age, you can actually master the hammer skills. To this extent.”

At this point, Kuhlman hesitated and continued:

"However, I see that your physical development in all aspects seems to be a bit weak."

"According to your strength talent, you can be stronger. This should be because your breathing method is not very advanced, and the number of years you have practiced breathing method is too short."

Renn glanced at Coleman in surprise and thought to himself, the instructor of the sword wielder is indeed very capable and has a keen eye.

This also confirms what Angus said during lunch that the sword-wielding instructors are not the strongest in the branch in terms of strength, but most of them have rich teaching experience.

I have been practicing the breathing method for less than a year. Compared with the average knight who started practicing at ten years old, there is a gap of about seven or eight years. The development of the body through the breathing method is not achieved overnight, but is accumulated over time.

Therefore, this situation occurs.

Otherwise, according to my lv14 Bear King Breathing Technique, if it is not improved by adding points, but through normal practice, all aspects of the attributes will be stronger.

But to others, this seems to be a big problem.

But not to myself.

This point should be made up for, after all, there are still up to 12 remaining attribute points here!

"As for this, my suggestion to you is to take some specific drugs to improve your daily training. Secondly, you need to carry out physical fitness strengthening training." Kuhlman quickly put forward his own opinion.

"Specific medicine? Is it something like refined black tung oil?" Renn couldn't help but ask.

Coleman immediately shook his head, but soon he thought of something. He looked at Ren with bright eyes and said, "Huh? You practice the Giant Bear Breathing Technique? No wonder I felt vaguely similar just now."

However, Coleman observed Renn carefully again and said, "No, it must have been improved!"

"What a pity! The quality of the Giant Bear Breathing Technique you practiced is only an ordinary level breathing method. Although it has undergone certain improvements, it has only barely reached the sophisticated level."

"For the development of your body's potential, it is definitely not as good as some excellent level breathing techniques. It's a pity that you have such a good talent!" Coleman couldn't help but shook his head slightly and said.

When Ren heard what Kuhlman said, he didn't refute it. He just said silently in his heart that he could add more. It wouldn't be a pity.

In addition, he thought of a question, by the way, why can't the breathing method be changed?

After thinking about it, Renn finally asked the question: "Instructor Coleman, can't we change the breathing method?"

Coleman immediately looked at Renn with a strange look, as if to say, 'How could you ask such a question? ’

However, Kuhlman did not show off, and quickly explained: "You should have been practicing the Giant Bear Breathing Technique from beginner to master for many years. If you change to the advanced breathing technique, it means starting from scratch. Your body readjusts to the change."

"During the breathing adjustment period that lasts for several years, your body's development will almost stagnate, and your physical strength will most likely stand still."

When Ren heard this, he understood what Kuhlman meant.

Normally, it is a long process for a knight to adjust the breathing method. Even if you have advanced breathing methods, practicing it from scratch will consume a lot of time and energy.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, if the quality of the breathing method is only one level lower, few knights will choose to do this.

But this doesn’t seem to apply to me

My giant bear breathing technique has only been practiced for a year, okay?

More importantly, because of the fusion function of the system, two similar combat skills will be fused together and improved, just like the previous basic archery and blood rage archery.

In other words, not only did I not have a long adjustment period for breathing techniques, but I was able to quickly get started with the improved advanced breathing techniques.

In this case, it seems that I can go to the redemption hall next time to see the redemption conditions for advanced breathing techniques.

Of course, this is his secret.

Therefore, after listening to Kuhlman's explanation, Renn just nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing that Lane was silent, Coleman thought that Lane was in a low mood because of this.

I saw him patting Ren on the shoulder and encouraging him: "Your improved giant bear breathing method is not bad and is sufficient, but there is more than just advanced breathing methods to improve combat power."

"Ren, think about it from another angle. If the force is strong enough and the speed is fast enough! Who else can resist the hammer?" Coleman said proudly as he made a hammer-swinging gesture with his right hand.

Ren nodded and laughed too.

really.

The combat effectiveness of large ferocious beasts is strong enough, isn't it because the opponent is strong enough or fast enough!

You don’t need to practice breathing techniques to transform into a ferocious beast.

"So, I just said that it is recommended that you take medicine in the next step of training."

"For example, a powerful strength potion, a kind of training auxiliary potion for great knights, will slowly increase the strength of the user to a certain extent within half a month after drinking it. The final increase will vary from person to person, ranging from half to one percent. It doesn’t matter.”

"In addition, there are powerful agility potions, powerful physical potions, etc."

"Of course, after taking this medicine, there must be a certain period of time before taking it again. Of course, the effect of the medicine will also decrease as your body's resistance increases." Kuhlman reminded.

A potent potion of strength?

Renn couldn't help but think of the list of potions he had seen at the Meister Munitions Department before. There was a 'strength potion' in it, which also had similar effects, but was only effective for users at the knight level.

This powerful strength potion is effective on all knights, so it is naturally more precious.

"Thank you, Instructor Coleman, for your guidance." Ren said, bowing slightly.

At this time, Coleman looked around and whispered beside Ren:

"By the way, next to our Sword Bearer branch is the Munster Provincial Branch of the Royal Apothecary Society."

"If you have an acquaintance, you can directly use gold coins to buy from them. This way you don't need to spend merit points to buy in the exchange hall."

Um?

Ren raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but glance at Coleman in surprise.

Good guy!

Instructor, is this what you should say?

As if he understood Ren's eyes, Coleman coughed, looked solemn, and said: "Well, this is a well-known secret. There is nothing wrong with using loopholes reasonably."

"Thank you, instructor!" Ren said sincerely.

Unexpectedly, Instructor Coleman was even stronger than a bull, but had such a delicate mind.

Who said 'well-developed limbs, simple mind'?

He obviously has well-developed limbs and a well-developed mind!

Also, the Munster Provincial Branch of the Royal Society of Apothecaries?

That is where most of the pharmacy masters from the entire Münster province gather.

Is it possible that I will find out where my future career from [Breaking Bad] will be?

Just as Ren's thoughts were distracted, Coleman pointed to the big sword carried behind Ren's back and said:

"Yeah! By the way, Ren, let me remind you, if you choose a two-handed sword as a secondary weapon, I personally don't think it is appropriate."

"If it's too heavy, it will significantly slow down your movement speed."

"Ren, what other weapons are you good at?"

this

Renn looked at Coleman and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, he is good at many weapons

However, he quickly thought of a topic that could divert the other party's attention.

Just now, Coleman only talked about the potions, but he didn't talk about the second point, the strengthening of physical fitness training.

"By the way, Instructor Coleman, what did you mean by the intensive physical training you just mentioned?"

"I did forget to tell you. In fact, you will also talk about this in your general education course starting tomorrow."

"For example, the 'Raptide Room', 'Quicksand Hall', 'Quicksand Room', etc., these are places where you can carry out intensive physical training. I suggest you start in the rapids room and work your way up slowly."

‘Rapidwater Room’, ‘Quicksand Room’, ‘Swamp Room’?

I know every word, but why can’t I understand them all together?

"Haha, these three places use witchcraft to conduct intensive training. The rapids room is to improve physical fitness by resisting the impact of the water flow."

"Specifically, Ren, you can feel it for yourself first. However, these places require merit points for training." Coleman said with a smile.

Are you asking for merit points again?

This suddenly made Renn have a feeling that his 2736 merit points should not be spent very much.

After the afternoon class ended, it was already getting late. Ren thought about it and decided to go to the exchange hall tomorrow.

Although in the end, Marcus meant that Renne could decide whether to participate in this special training.

But Ren thought about it and felt that he still needed to listen.

For example, today, he benefited a lot.

After returning to his room at night, Renn closed the door alone and thought about it.

"I have to go to the exchange hall again tomorrow to see the exchange price of the powerful strength potion that Marcus mentioned."

"Secondly, I have to find out the cost of the torrent chamber."

Suddenly, Ryan thought of something more important.

Before, he had always thought about finding metal witchcraft after joining the Imperial Sword Bearer.

But the problem is that he has not yet been promoted to a formal wizard.

"I almost forgot, I have to check the exchange conditions of the atomization mixture tomorrow."

"And the first-level witchcraft model for defense. It must be fire."

"After all, when you hear 'Metal Transfiguration', you know it doesn't look like a defensive witchcraft."

Ryan still remembers Naya, who has the blood of a warlock. He had tested his elemental affinity once before. His affinity for fire elements was 71, and his affinity for metal elements was 72.

Obviously, these two types of witchcraft are his first choice.

But when he thought of so many things to exchange, Ryan frowned.

There are too many good things he wants, and there is not enough 'money' to spend!

"No, I have to go to the mission hall tomorrow."

"Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, increasing revenue comes first!"

The next morning, the special training was arranged to be a general education course.

However, what Ryan did not expect was that the instructor who taught them the first general education course was the extremely strong Marcus.

This once again proves that a person with strong limbs has a strong mind.

"Today, let me tell you why most special departments of the empire use teams to carry out tasks." Marcus's deep voice sounded in the hall.

"On the one hand, it is because of historical origins, and on the other hand, of course, there are also practical combat considerations. In ancient times, humans formed hunting teams with extraordinary individuals as the core to hunt wild beasts."

"For example, the most common extraordinary individuals in the empire - knights, often have multiple knight attendants around a formal knight to build a combat team, which constitutes the cornerstone of the empire's security."

Ryan had wondered before why the sword bearers used teams.

After listening to Marcus' explanation, Ryan's guess was confirmed.

The sword-bearing squad is basically a team of players who are auxiliary, and the captain is the core of combat and defense.

This model is very similar to the oldest knight squad in the empire, which is built around knights to build a combat core, and it has evolved slowly.

"Next, let me talk about some common sense about accepting tasks. Each person can only accept tasks that fluctuate one level above or below their own level. That is, for you, the black iron level, you can only accept bronze-level tasks at most."

"And when your level reaches silver level, you can accept tasks at three levels: gold, silver and bronze. But it should be noted that if you accept tasks that are one level lower than your own level, the rewards will be discounted."

"Conversely, if you accept tasks that are one level higher than your own level and can complete them, the rewards will also increase. But if you fail, a certain amount of merit points will be deducted." Marcus continued.

Huh?

Ryan raised his eyebrows and listened carefully.

He was planning to go to the mission hall today, but he didn't expect Marcus to start talking about related content.

"The lowest level of tasks within the Sword Bearer is bronze."

"The types of tasks can be divided into designated tasks and non-designated tasks. The rewards for designated tasks are generous."

"The promotion rule is a three-three system. If you are at the bronze level, then you can be promoted to the silver level after obtaining three bronze medals, and so on."

"Only the captain is eligible to accept team tasks. Everyone has known this before."

"The task evaluation medals can be split and used when exchanging, but they cannot be exchanged upwards. In other words, for example, the gold medal can be exchanged for three silver medals, but the reverse is not possible."

Ryan nodded frequently.

As the only one among the newcomers who can already accept tasks, he listened very carefully.

Cannot be exchanged upwards?

That's right!

Otherwise, the masters will go to do low-level tasks and then exchange them for higher-level medals. This will result in no one doing high-level tasks, and the newcomers will have no tasks to accept.

"Finally, let me talk about loans," Marcus drank a sip of water and continued.

Loans?

Everyone below was stunned!

Ryan is no exception.

"You have just joined the Sword Bearers. If you have not worked in the functional departments of the Empire before, you may not have any merit points, but many training, facilities and potions in the branch will use merit points."

"The organization has considered this situation a long time ago, so we have arranged the loan measure."

"Depending on your different potential and efforts, you can spend first, and then return the borrowed merit points by completing tasks within a certain period of time."

It's actually possible?

Ryan's eyes widened!

Then according to his potential, 'loan' to buy defensive first-level witchcraft, metal transformation, atomization potion, and powerful strength potion.

It shouldn't be too much, right?
