Chapter 35 Sword Class
The professor then divided all students into two groups, and one student from each group was chosen one at a time.
The selected students need to fight each other.
Two students in front of the two groups entered the center and exchanged moves.𝓝𝒪𝚟𝗲𝓁𝗇𝐄xt.𝑐𝓞𝓂
The first student wielded a long sword, while the second wielded a rapier.
Both had different physiques; the guy with the long sword had a muscular physique, which allowed him to swing the long sword without getting tired quickly, whereas the guy with the rapier had a slim physique.
The rules were simple: you couldn’t hurt your opponent intentionally, and you had to fight until one of the participant surrendered.
Third, you cannot use any skill because your opponent has not surrendered or the professor has asked them to stop.
Their fighting styles were also very different; the guy with the long sword wanted to end the fight in one blow, whereas the guy with the rapier wanted to defeat his opponent by damaging him gradually with each move.
They exchanged a few moves before the man with the long sword struck with one of his attacks.
by anticipating his opponent’s movements.
The professor intervened in the fight and instructed them on how to use their weapons more effectively.
All of the students rushed to the stage and engaged in a duel one after the other.
Some were able to finish the fight quickly, while others were only stopped by professors. When Rishi’s turn came around, his opponent was a lovely young lady.
Rishi took his place, tightly clutching his Talwar, and she had brown hair and a green yes.
The opponent was wielding a sword that resembled a katana but was slightly smaller.
They began fighting and gradually approached each other. They both exchanged glances.
other and began to consider their opponent’s next moves.
Rishi was not in a hurry because he lacked confidence, whereas his opponent did.
In the blink of an eye, she attacked Rishi, and he defended himself with his sword.
They exchanged several moves, with the girl always in an attacking position and Rishi always in a defensive position.
The fight did not make it clear who would win, but the professor could tell after just a few moves.
He stopped the fight and then informed both of them of their errors. “You have very good basics, and your stance is also very good,” he said to Nina, “but I don’t see confidence in your swordsmanship.”
“You lack confidence, which is why you were unable to defeat him.”
He then turned to Rishi and asked, “How long have you been using Talwar?”
Rishi was going to say two months but realized that would draw attention, so he said “two years.”
“You need to work on your basics and attacking,” the professor advised. “You are a swordsman, not a tank, and all you were doing was defending yourself.”
“You also have no experience facing another swordsman, so you two will now practice with each other.”
Rishi and Nina approached a corner and exchanged awkward glances with students nearby.
I could feel a lot of introverted energy. They silently looked at each other for some time before Rishi decided to break the ice.
“Hello,” he said.
“Hello,” Nina replied.
They were both at a loss for how to begin the conversation, when the bell rang, signaling the end of the class.
All of the students began to leave the classroom because it was lunchtime.
He looked around for a moment to make sure no one was looking, then asked Nina, “Let’s go to the canteen.”
They quickly arrived at the canteen and placed their order. Rishi gathered his courage after eating some snacks and inquired, “What is the sword that you are using?”
“It’s called Hengdang,” Nina replied.
“Oh, you’re from the northeastern part of India?” Rishi inquired.
“My father is from Uttarakhand, and my mother is from Assam,” she explained.
“Oh great, where are you from?” Rishi inquired.
“I am from Dhan City.”
“Where are you from?” she inquired Rishi for the first time.
“I’m from Chumoli Town,” Rishi replied.
They quickly became friends and began talking about how to improve their swordsmanship.
They practiced in the training room until they were both exhausted.
“Until next time,” Rishi said.
“Take care,” Nina said.
Rishi then went to his archery class, which was running late in comparison to other classes.
He chose this class because the others conflicted with his other classes.
He was only allowed to attend one class at a time, so he chose this one. This class was not like the regular class; it was a remedial class for students who were struggling in their regular class.
He quickly arrived at the field, his longbow in one hand and his quiver in the other. He counted four more students are awaiting the arrival of the teacher.
Rishi chose to wait quietly in the corner for the teacher.
