Chapter 147: When will the sword of light flash?

Chapter 147: When will the sword of light flash?
Alice was stunned for a long time, then suddenly came to her senses and looked up at Gileno's face with some anger.

Because she felt like she was being treated like a child.

Can enter the eyes.

Gileno's expression remained serious, and he squinted his eyes slightly as he looked at the four people talking in the distance.

His expression was very grim.

It reminded her of the harsh scene in which Gileno treated her during her sword-fighting class.

Gilenu's unique cold voice sounded again.

Still the same sentence.

"Alan is very strong."

She lowered her head and looked at Alice's face. After spending several years together, Gileno knew very well why Alice had such a reaction.

"Alice, what do you think of Allen in your heart?"

She chose her words carefully, paused for a moment, and continued.

".Disillusioned? So you can't accept it?"

Alice raised her brows.

"Huh? Disillusionment? What does that mean?"

"You think Alan is very powerful, but his performance just now did not meet your expectations, so you are very angry, aren't you?"

Rarely, the young lady choked and her face turned red. She wanted to refute, but was intimidated by Gileno's stern expression and could not utter a word for a long time.

The latter looked at Alice's expression and answered her doubts.

"Alan is very strong. You can keep this impression."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that, and then she listened to Gileno continue.

"He has a solid foundation in swordsmanship and has his own unique understanding of the Kenshin Style. This allows him to wield a unique Silent Sword, which I admire very much. I understand how you feel."

"But when he swung the Silent Sword for the first time just now, I was a little confused. Logically speaking, with the swordsmanship talent he has shown so far, even if his teacher is Paul, he should have been able to perfect the Silent Sword. But in fact, this is not the case."

"There is still room for improvement in his Silent Sword, especially his speed, which is not fast enough."

"This was beyond my expectations. I was very surprised."

"But there was one person on the field who was just as surprised as I was."

"Do you know who it is?"

Alice frowned and looked at Gileno.

"Huh? Who?"

Gilenu interrupted her question.

"It was Alan himself."

"Why is he surprised?"

"Because the fact that his Silent Sword slowed down was also beyond my expectation."

"As for the reason, I tested this in the subsequent competition, and it turned out to be true."

"He still used his previous habit of swinging the sword to block my blade with the Silent Sword, but failed. He could only hastily block with the Water God Style, which caused him to be accidentally blown away by my sword wind."

"It's not that he hasn't fully mastered the Silent Sword, but his sword has slowed down in the past few days. And it seems that before this, he may not have realized it himself."

Alice was stunned, trying to sort out this information, and asked subconsciously.

"The knife is slow?"

Gileno looked down at Alice.

"I wanted to tell you this after you have reached the upper level, but now is a good opportunity, so I will take this opportunity to tell you. Maybe this will become an opportunity to push you to make further progress in the Sword God Style."

After saying this, Gileno changed the subject and asked a question that was completely unrelated to the current topic.

"Do you think your sword skills will stagnate or even regress?"

Alice frowned like a little lion.

"Of course! Didn't Gileno always ask me to practice air swings? Just like you said, what's it called? Yes! Swordsmen need to work hard! If one day I stop practicing swordsmanship! I will definitely regress!"

Gilenu nodded.

"So what do you think of the Sword God Style's Secret Technique - the Silent Tachi, or the Light Tachi?"

“Will it regress?”

Alice was stunned again, and subconsciously thought that she would not regress, because this kind of profound skill was obviously learned, so how could she regress?
But at this moment, the process of the competition that Gileno had just described popped into his mind.

"It's not that he hasn't fully mastered the Silent Sword, but his sword is too slow."

She looked up in surprise.

"Are you saying that Alan's Silent Sword has regressed?!"

Gilenu nodded, trying his best to make his words understandable.

"That's right. And the reason why his Silent Sword has declined is directly related to the core of the Sword God Style's progress - desire, or obsession."

"Desire? Obsession?"

Jilenu stroked Ping Zong's scabbard. "Once a swordsman of the Sword God School can no longer continue to burn his desire, his strength will stagnate at best, or even decline at worst."

"Just like what's happening to Alan now."

"I don't understand! But! Then. What should I do?!"

"Don't understand too much, Alice. This stage is still very far away for you, so you just need to watch."

"Just watch?"

Gileno looked at Alan in the distance, whose expression had returned to normal and who was chatting calmly with Sylphy, Rudy, and Hilda.

A smile curved up the corners of her mouth.

"Yes, just watch. I'm not sure when Alan will be able to rekindle his desire, but there is no doubt that."

"He'll get up."

"Then, swing a sharper knife at me."

"By then, what you see will no longer be the Silent Sword."

"but"

"Light Sword!"

Alice immediately widened her eyes and looked at Gileno.

The latter's smile did not diminish, but became even more intense.

at this time.

At the moment when Rudy, Sylphy, Alice, and Hilda were each caught up in completely different emotions.

They are all worried about what they are thinking.
The person who had the most confidence in Allen was not his mother, who was deeply concerned and yet to be recognized, nor his friend who had saved his life, nor his lover who had not expressed his love to him, nor his sister who had a burning admiration for him.

It was Gilenu.

This 'onlooker' saw it very clearly.

Because she was objective enough, she had conducted a detailed investigation on Alan's talent and understood it very well. She had also been standing outside the door of the Light Sword for many years. Even her own advances and retreats of the Silent Sword could correspond to Alan's current situation.

So she understood Alan.

She also believed in Allen.

Gilenu stretched out his finger and flicked on his scabbard.

The scabbard hummed.

Wake Alice up from her stunned mood.

"Alice, do you know how many years it took me to step into the Light Sword and officially become a swordsman?"

Alice shook her head.

"One year!"

Gilenu smiled bitterly and shook his head, replying.

"Five years. So guess when Allen will be able to cross the threshold and become a sword master?"

Alice crossed her arms and thought for a moment.

"As for Alan, it's better to be like Gileno. Five."
