Chapter 298 Do You Want to Dance Too?
The passionate sword dance sounded intertwined, and the silver sword light was continuously swung at a dazzling speed, as well as the bright golden fire light scattered from the collision.
In the setting sun, daggers clashed with daggers several times.
The white-haired boy on the stone slab rushed up again and again, almost to the point of being straightforward, but each time he was bounced and knocked away by the opponent with even better skills and strength, and he was completely defeated.
Intense exercise is in full swing on the city wall.
Kobayashi, who agreed to participate in the family war, naturally also took on the task of training Bell's instructor.
After bouncing him away again, Kobayashi relaxed his fighting posture, as if telling Bell to take a break, and commented: "Good intuition, now you can react without looking."
"Really, really?!"
The innocent boy's face could not suppress the joy of growing up.
Under the rays of the setting sun, the sweaty face, scarred skin, and torn clothes all speak of the harshness of the exercise.
It is necessary to grow, but how much you can grow in a limited time is the most important thing.It would be too pitiful if one had experienced such harsh training and still gained little.
"Please use. Lord Kobayashi, Lord Bell."
"Thank you, Luzi."
"Thank you, Miss Liuzi!"
Seeing the two stop training, the doll girl immediately handed over a towel and a water bottle. Xiaolin, who took the supplies, motioned to Bell to take a rest and digest what he had just learned.
Facing the beautiful sunset, Xiao Lin leaned against the city wall, while Bell knelt on the ground and seized the time to recover his strength.
It's not just a simple rest, during this period, Bell has to review the questions just now.
"It can be seen from the way you fight that you rarely fight humans."
"Can you see this too?"
"Of course! Unlike monsters that always use their full power to attack with large movements, humans will observe the situation and try to interpret the enemy's movements. That's why you were so seriously injured under the siege of Apollo's family. Although it is related to the protection of God , but adventurers with rich combat experience will only spend the smallest cost to escape.”
"Aha……"
Hearing Kobayashi's lesson, Bell bowed his head deeply.
When he was entangled by the Apollo Familia before, he was injured a lot in order to protect Hestia.
It was because he was not good at fighting humans that he was so flustered, and in the end he had to accept the opponent's challenge and fell into a trap.
If at that time he could be stronger...
"Don't belittle yourself."
Xiao Lin slapped him on the head, slapping the cranky boy awake.
Bell's biggest problem is lack of self-confidence.
Like a rabbit, he will subconsciously put himself in a lower position, no matter how he behaves or fights.When encountering danger, the first reaction is to run away, and only when he is cornered will he bite anxiously.
So if you want to change this, you have to rebuild his confidence.
The red light of the setting sun shone on Kobayashi's face, and he said to Bell: "What do you think is your advantage compared to other adventurers? Is it agility? Is it strength? Or is it brain?"
Before Bell could answer, Xiaolin added: "It's growth, or potential."
"……potential?"
"That's right. Fighting is about gaining proficiency. Some people can only absorb a little bit at a time, but some people can absorb all or even overabsorb, and you are the latter, Bell. So don't be afraid, your growth will never Lose to anyone! You only need to remember one sentence!"
"Excuse me, what is it?!"
I don't know if it's the deepest desire in my heart, or it's because he's incompetent to find his own value.
Bell desperately wanted to know.
Kobayashi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Anything that doesn't kill me makes me stronger."
"anything……"
Bell chewed this sentence carefully.
This is the relationship that Kobayashi is willing to teach him.
In addition to training the immature little white flower into an experienced old driver and gaining a sense of accomplishment from it, the most important thing is that Bell listens to advice.Unlike some tsundere werewolf who never admit defeat.
However, the body of the werewolf is quite honest, which can barely be regarded as a different kind of contrast.
"Thank you, Mr. Kobayashi!"
Bell bowed deeply to him to express his gratitude to Kobayashi.
Just as Kobayashi waved his hand to signal Bell not to be so polite, he heard another sentence:
"Also, I'm sorry, Mr. Kobayashi!"
"...Why are you apologizing?"
"Well, how should I put it...Mr. Xiaolin is actually very unwilling to get involved in the family war, but we still force you to join, and I always feel very sorry."
"If you're sorry, don't ask me."
Kobayashi gave him an angry look.
The slightly reproachful words made Bell's face turn pale, and he closed his eyes to prepare to accept Kobayashi's harsh words.
but--
Xiao Lin did not scold him, but said: "I am not resisting this family war."
"……what?"
"After all, it's a life-saving favor. It's already predictable to be entrusted with difficult things by that incomprehensible playboy god. What I hate is his way of beating around the bush to arouse my sympathy. If he directly asks me To participate in the family war, I will agree more simply."
"Aha……"
Forgive the simple Bell who can't understand the difference, but seeing Kobayashi's displeased face, it is wise to keep his mouth shut and not ask.
And if asked, Kobayashi would tell him the difference between active and passive.
Hermes asked him to attend Apollo's banquet because he hoped that Kobayashi would take the initiative to say that he would help, but after Kobayashi deliberately avoided but was entrusted, he was passive without personal feelings.
Although he likes to be proactive, he unfortunately chooses to be passive in this regard.
Otherwise, how can that flamboyant god push his feet and keep embarrassing him?
"On the contrary, it's you, Bell." Xiao Lin tilted his head and asked with a slight frown: "You came to ask me to beg me because you were bewitched by the god Hermes, right?"
"You, what are you talking about, Mr. Xiaolin, I don't understand..."
Hearing this question, Rabbit's whole body became stiff, and he turned his head, not daring to look into Xiao Lin's eyes.
It was hard for him to make him lie.
Xiao Lin pointed his forehead and reprimanded him, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"……sorry."
Bell bowed honestly and apologized.
It is certain that they will be angry. After all, in his opinion, their actions are taking advantage of Xiao Lin's sympathy and making him embarrassed to refuse.Incidentally, this move was also taught by Hermes.
Xiao Lin suddenly asked: "Why did you do this?"
"What?" Bell blinked.
"You knelt in front of others and begged in a low voice. Even God Hestia knelt down together, but it was human beings who begged. Don't you...cough, don't you feel unwilling?"
Kobayashi originally wanted to say, "Aren't you ashamed?", but he felt that if he went too far, he would step on Bell's sore feet, so he used more euphemistic words instead.
"........."
Bell bit his lip, annoyance and self-blame gradually surfaced on his face.
"I know that this incident was caused by me, so when God Hestia begged Kobayashi in a low voice, I only felt guilty. But even so, God Hestia told me that she likes me, I am willing to do anything for this! So, I want to respond to her, to respond to her expectations and feelings for me!"
Raising his head again, the boy with white hair and red eyes looked directly into Xiao Lin's eyes with a certain determination.
Everyone knows the reason why a man has gold under his knees, but it is also very admirable and touching to bow down and even kneel to others in order to protect the one he loves.
"Maybe I choose to help because of this."
"Mr. Kobayashi?"
"It's okay. Since you have decided to protect God Hestia, you have to work harder, Bell! That's right! Anything that doesn't kill us will make us stronger!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
The encouraged rabbit roared loudly.
He vowed that he must defeat the Apollo family and win this family war!
Then--
"From just now, I feel that the sight behind me is a bit stinging, why?"
"This is..."
Both of them looked at the blond girl under the city wall, who was holding her hands on her knees and staring straight at them.
Kobayashi is not the only instructor.
After deciding to play a war game, Bell's first thought was to ask Sword Princess for help.
Although she was stopped outside at first, with the help of others, Ais finally agreed to help and acted as his instructor before the clan war started.
After Kobayashi joined, the instructors became a rotation system.Next, Ais should teach Bell...
Xiao Lin whispered: "Did you make her unhappy?"
Bell hurriedly waved his hands and said eagerly, "No, no! I didn't do anything!"
"Isn't that the reason?"
"what?"
"Is it because you are always stupid and can't learn, Ai Si will be upset seeing you so stupid?"
"how come……!"
The struck rabbit suddenly turned gray and sat on the stone slab, doubting life.
Obviously just now praised him for absorbing quickly, but turned around and despised him for slow learning.
Kobayashi shrugged.
In his eyes, Bell's learning speed has surpassed most people's, but who knows what Ai Si thinks?
Ever since he joined, Ace has been reticent.Although she rarely spoke in the past, Kobayashi could still feel the strangeness of the girl after the experience of adventuring together in the depths of the dungeon.
Just when Kobayashi and Bell wanted to look at her with some concern, Jian Ji, who felt the gaze, recovered from her contemplation.Pursing his lips, he stood up from the corner and walked towards them.
Are you ready for a rotation?
After each break, Xiaolin and Aisi will swap.
This is to prevent Bell from getting used to a certain person's offensive style and form a bad habit. Simply put, it adds difficulty and variables to him.
"Thank you, Miss Ai Si, I'll leave it to you next."
"Wait a minute, Kobayashi."
When Kobayashi said hello and was about to rest, Ai Si suddenly stopped him.
This was still the beginning of teaching Bell, and she was a little surprised when she talked to herself for the first time.
"What's the matter, Miss Ace?"
"You and I, let's train too."
"Um……"
Is training necessary?
This question popped up in Kobayashi's mind.
It is true that the members of Apollo's family are dozens of times more than them, but in his opinion, they are all a bunch of mobs, and it's not even a problem for him, so there is no need to be so nervous.
But Jian Ji still looked at her, and that look didn't seem to be for the purpose of improving Xiao Lin's strength, nor did she seem to be happy to see a strong man.
It was a pleading look, and Kobayashi subconsciously agreed.
Bell on the side didn't know what happened, but he still consciously left to give the two of them a suitable space.
The role of combat has changed.
Ai Si raised the rapier in her hand with one hand, and slashed fiercely after accumulating power for a short period of time. Kobayashi raised the dagger in his hand to face it head-on.
Instead of using special silk thread, a dagger was used.
Many of them told Bell how to deal with an enemy like Ais.
Ai Si's rapier waved in a silvery light, airtight, Xiao Lin's hands also turned into afterimages to block the incoming slashes one by one, but he was unwilling to defend blindly, and mixed some desperate counterattacks at the right time.
The dagger in his hand slid upwards at an extremely sinister angle, like a cunning poisonous snake baring its fangs and spitting out a letter after accumulating for a long time, it was bound to kill him with one blow.
Bell, who was watching the battle, was so nervous that he shouted subconsciously: "Be careful!"
"!!!"
Ace's posture was slightly crooked.
Perhaps because of Xiao Lin's courage, there was a gap between her upper body and lower body movements, and her center of gravity shifted.
Seeing that the slender body couldn't help but retreat, Xiao Lin, who saw the right time, bullied him without hesitation.
An inch short, an inch dangerous.
If you want to gain an advantage, you have to dance on the line of life and death!
Xiao Lin, who was trying to establish an advantage, rushed into her arms, and stabbed the girl's waist with the dagger in his hand upside down.
However, in the face of two or three consecutive blows, Jian Ji forcibly twisted her body at a terrifying speed, her long golden hair drawing a perfect arc in mid-air, and narrowly avoided the attack.
But Xiao Lin will not give up this opportunity easily. Once the agile sword girl pulls the distance again, he wants to win with a short dagger, but his hope is too slim.
Xiao Lin, who did not give up, kept pressing against the girl, with the distance between them not exceeding [-] centimeters.Even if he turned his head slightly, Xiaolin's lips could touch Aisi's cheek.
"Okay, amazing..."
Bell couldn't help but widen his eyes.
You come and I will not be outdone, the two danced gorgeously above the city wall, but the silver light that flashed from the side all proved how fierce and dangerous the battle was.
It's a deadly dance.
Sure enough, it still didn't work, with his current strength, he was far from reaching them.
Gotta catch up!
Must catch up!
Bell secretly made up his mind.
At this time, Xiao Lin suddenly noticed that the corners of Aisi's mouth were slightly raised.
Although very shallow, she has always been a doll-like girl with an expressionless and delicate face, a slight rise has changed a lot.
"Sure enough, I am very happy with Xiao Lin."
The girl said this wordlessly.
Kobayashi, who has the ability of [mind reading], immediately understood what Ai Si wanted to express.
But he didn't answer, but danced gorgeously and dangerously on the city wall in accordance with the girl's rhythm until night fell.
