The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 73 This was a failed demonstration
  It turns out that Ren is shorter than him, only reaching his eyebrows.

But after not seeing each other for half a month, Ren has almost grown as tall as him!
  This surprised George. He grabbed Ren's arm and said, "Ren, what have you eaten recently? Why do you grow so fast!"

But the next second, George was stunned. He looked down at Ren's arm that he was holding.

I can't hold it at all!

George instinctively pinched it with his fingers, and a strong and elastic touch came from his fingertips.

George was shocked!
  "Lelane! You have changed too much!" George was stunned and stammered.

Ren has not only grown taller, but his figure has also grown larger. However, because his body shape is still relatively well-proportioned, it is not obvious from his appearance.

However, fortunately, George touched his arm. If he had touched Ren's chest or back, he would have touched the hard metal strips of the 'plate armor'.

"Snapped!"

"Two grown men, stop fighting!" Ren said, pretending to be angry.

In fact, Ren was trying to prevent George from touching him again and leaking the fact that he was wearing a cotton plate armor.

It's not that I'm worried that George will take the initiative to tell it, but naturally the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better.

"Oh Ren, you have changed too much!" George seemed very frustrated.

"If you eat well, you will naturally grow taller!" Renn gestured to the eggs, milk and meat he had just purchased.

George was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a surprised expression: "No wonder!"

"By the way, what do you want from me today?" In order to prevent George from continuing to dwell on this issue, Renne changed the subject and asked.

"I just received a notification from the manor that the servant training will resume in the afternoon." George patted his head and remembered the business.

Huh! I originally planned to go to the Habsburg Manor later to deal with the greyhound puppies, but I didn't expect that I would recover in the afternoon.

After thinking for a while, Ren decided to go to the boy servant training in the afternoon, and when it was over, he would go to the manor kennel to choose a greyhound.

Naturally, he carries the cotton plate armor and the dagger Ren, but forget about the two-handed sword as it is too eye-catching.

in the afternoon.

At the castle grounds of the Habsburg manor, the training of servants began again.

Today is basic swordsmanship training.

"We learned basic swordsmanship before. There are only three basic swordsmanship moves in total. However, whether it is a step thrust sword, a downward slash or an upward lift, they are all offensive moves, and there are no defensive moves."

"So, today we are going to learn how to use the long sword in our hands for defense!" Swordsmanship instructor Humbert said loudly.

"Ren, come on, come up and give me a demonstration."

"Yes, teach!" Ren was stunned, but immediately agreed and walked forward quickly.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready, teach."

"Well, everyone else, please pay attention to my demonstration." Humbert nodded, then turned to the servants and shouted loudly.

Humbert raised the ironwood sword in his hand, pointed it at Ren's chest, and stabbed the sword with a quick step.

Opposite Humbert, Ren was very surprised as to why the sword thrust out so slowly. Although it was a demonstration, it seemed too unreal.

"I guess the teacher must have a back-up plan, right?"

Therefore, Renn naturally took a step back and dodged Humbert's stabbing sword with some ease.

Just when Ren thought that Humbert would catch up and continue the attack, he found that Humbert was looking at him with a strange look.

The scene that happened in front of him was a little different from what Humbert expected.

Although he has long known that Renne is quite talented in swordsmanship, he himself has had many battles with Renne, so he also knows Renne's general strength.

But with that sword strike just now, he had already used 70% of his strength. It stands to reason that Renn would have no time to react, and the tip of his sword would be pointed directly at his chest.

Then, he can use this as a correct demonstration to tell the child servants the importance of defense and how to carry out defense.

Humbert didn't expect that Renne could easily dodge it. Clearly, this was a failed demonstration!

"Renne, very effective defense, let's do it again." Humbert said.

This time, Humbert's eyes were obviously much more serious. In addition, he planned to use 90% of his strength this time.

After all, if the two demonstrations failed, he wouldn't know how to explain the next content.

You can't just change the demonstration again, right?

Then do you want the face of yourself, the senior guard of the manor and the swordsmanship instructor of the child servants?
  Obviously, Renne didn't know the inner thoughts of swordsmanship instructor Humbert at this time, so he nodded immediately and said:

"Okay, teach!"

This time, Humbert no longer asked Ren if he was ready, but after seeing Ren standing still, he suddenly stepped forward and stabbed with his sword.

"Shh!"

The speed of this sword was much faster than before. It was so fast that it slightly pierced the air, making a slight sword whistle.

Ren's eyes narrowed, and he sighed secretly in his heart. This time, Humbert's teaching was finally a little more serious!

The previous attack was too perfunctory, but this time it was obviously much stronger. I just don’t know how much of the real level the training used this time, 50%? Or 60%?
  Ren was thinking in his mind, but the movements of his body on the other side were not slow at all.

Retreating quickly like an instinct, Ren quickly swung his sword and blocked Humbert's thrust with the 'strong blade' close to the hilt.

Perhaps because of the substantial improvement in various attributes, especially mental strength, Renne was able to grasp the trajectory of Humbert's sword very well.

In addition, since he was used to using heavy two-handed swords, Ren was wielding the Iron Wood Sword at this moment, like waving straw, very fast, so it was not difficult to block, but rather smooth.

"Oh!"

The two iron-wood swords used for training quickly exchanged blows and suddenly separated.

Humbert's ironwood sword was seen to have been shaken open, while the tip of Renn's ironwood sword was pointing at Humbert's chest, motionless.

At this moment, Humbert could no longer suppress the surprise in his heart, and softly said "Huh", and his mind was even more turbulent.

"If we talk about the first time, it might have been because of my contempt that the sword was easily dodged by Ren, but this time I deliberately took advantage of Ren's unpreparedness."

"In addition, the speed of my sword thrust this time is obviously much faster than the last time."

"But even in this case, Ren was able to easily resist it."

"This"

Humbert didn't know what happened to Renne recently. He hadn't seen him for more than half a month, and his strength had improved by such a rapid pace?

As for the child servants watching on the sidelines, some were looking at it with fascination, while others were looking at it with horror.

Most of the boy servants only saw the swordsmanship instructors Humbert and Lane. The two exchanged blows very quickly, and then heard a 'bang' and it was over.

As for how Ren defended, I really didn't see clearly.

Humbert was stunned for a moment, then an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of an example of how to cover up this failure.

"Well, Ren just gave a good demonstration!"

Humbert coughed and continued:

"Just now I attacked Ren with a stepping sword. Ren first stepped sideways and quickly blocked my stab with his 'Strong Sword Body', and then retaliated with a stab. It was a very good response. .”

"Everyone needs to learn from Ren's coping techniques, they are very standard and practical!"

After hearing Humbert's compliments, Ren was obviously taken aback.

This seemed to be different from the demonstration he had expected. Shouldn't he stab the sword himself, and then Humbert would teach him how to block it calmly?

But what the instructor just explained seems to make sense!
  All the servants looked at Ren with shock and envy.

Among them, Nongmei was the best. As the second best master of swordsmanship among the boy servants, Nongmei knew how difficult it was to practice Ren's extremely fast defensive counterattack just now.
