A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 65 The master is the teacher

After returning to the farm and throwing the purchased ingredients into the refrigerator, Leon took out the straight sword given by Clint from his backpack and started tinkering around on the farm.

Liking cold weapons is one thing, but being able to use them is another. Although Lyon holding a straight sword can perform simple points, picks, stabs, lifts and chops.

However, when it comes to actual combat, Lyon is not sure if he can choose the appropriate attack method according to the situation.

However, even though Leon knew nothing about actual sword skills, it did not stop him from having fun. If there were no rape flowers nearby, he would have had even more fun.

Of course, Leon is not just playing around. The most important thing is to develop his own feel for the weapon, to ensure that in dangerous situations in the future, he will not be in a panic after taking out the weapon from the backpack.

Just as Lyon was waving his straight sword in the air and practicing the legendary sword move Xia Ji Eight Slashes, a complaint sounded beside Lyon.

"Are you practicing swordplay? Your posture is so ugly."

"Hey, Abigail, why are you here?" Lyon immediately stopped what he was doing, put the straight sword behind his back, and turned around to look at Abigail who was squatting not far from him.

"I'm here to eat for free." Abigail answered as a matter of course.

"At this time? You haven't had lunch?" Leon looked up at the sun still hanging high in the sky and asked Abigail speechlessly.

"Dinner, of course."

Abigail stood up and walked to Leon's side. Then she went around behind Leon and looked at the straight sword hidden on his back. "Wow, it's a real weapon with a sharpened edge. I thought it was just a prop sword you used for practice."

"Interested?" Leon handed the straight sword to Abigail. "Would you like to try it?"

Abigail did not refuse and enthusiastically reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword. In the process, because Leon was still holding the sword, her hand touched Leon's. However, Abigail did not care about these small details. After she completely grasped the hilt of the sword, Leon let go.

"Phew, it's quite heavy."

Abigail also imitated Leon's way of holding the sword with one hand, but this straight sword was made of iron after all, and it was incredibly long and naturally heavy, so Abigail, who was unprepared, almost couldn't hold it tightly.

However, after getting used to the weight, Abigail quickly placed the straight sword across her chest, and then demonstrated a very methodical attack combo in front of Leon. The sound of the three consecutive chops, slashes and stabs breaking through the air made Leon look sideways.

This girl has something.

“How is it? It’s not bad.” After showing off this set of skills, Abigail teased Leon proudly: “Isn’t it more intimidating than your skills?”

"That's great. Do you have any talents? Show them off." Lyon was not angry at Abigail's provocation, because what she showed was really well-organized. What Lyon was more curious about was how much Abigail could do.

"No, that's all. I just learned this set from a book. The book says that you only need to learn this set and practice diligently to deal with most common monsters." Abigail explained, shaking her head.

"Is that all?"

Leon recalled Abigail's moves. Although simple, they were fierce and fast, with a seamless flow from attack to finish. Even after a thrust, she could repeat the cycle for a second attack. Leon's eyes lit up at the thought, and he stepped forward, grasping Abigail's arm and asking, "Can you teach me this? How do you generate and regenerate force? I want to learn."

"Hehe, sure, but you have to call me teacher." Abigail nodded with a smile, but she did not forget to take advantage of Leon.

"Teacher Abigail." Lyon changed the address without hesitation. After all, the wisest one is the teacher, and there must be a teacher among three people.

Besides, calling you teacher doesn’t cost a thing, and the cost-effectiveness of learning new things is completely disproportionate to the effort put into talking.

Abigail enjoyed the new name very much and the smile on her face never stopped.

But she was not just laughing, and naturally she did not forget to demonstrate the offensive techniques to Leon.

Abigail first demonstrated to Leon twice in slow motion the starting and ending of this move, and then explained some of the insights she had personally experienced during the practice, such as the details of the force-generating posture, the rotation of the wrist, and the coordination of footwork, etc.

After explaining some theoretical knowledge, she handed the straight sword to Leon and asked him to start practicing by himself. She watched from the side and reminded Leon if he did something wrong or if his movements were not correct.

Leon did not show any impatience. He followed Abigail's explanations and reminders while practicing, and improved his movements bit by bit. It's true that with Abigail's guidance, he found that his offensive speed was getting faster and faster, and his movements were becoming smoother and smoother.

Lyon, who had learned something, naturally did not hesitate to praise Abigail. Every time Abigail said that Teacher taught well, Abigail was overjoyed and her teaching enthusiasm was immediately maximized. When she found that Lyon's movements were still a little uncoordinated, she gave him close and hands-on guidance.

Even though Leon had a heart of steel, the wonderful experience of his skin and body coming into contact with Abigail made his blood boil.

As for Abigail herself, after her passion faded, she realized that she was too close to Leon. The strong muscles and body temperature, accompanied by pheromones with the smell of sweat and male hormones, made Abigail's body surge with heat that spread from nowhere.

So both sides began to tacitly avoid contact with each other.

Abigail retreated two meters away from Leon, and Leon himself focused all his attention on the straight sword in his hand and the offensive techniques in his mind. Silence became the main theme of this teaching session.

It wasn't until Lyon realized that his wrists were a little sore due to long-term practice and exertion, and lactic acid in his muscles began to accumulate, causing a tingling sensation, that he stopped his movements.

"I have to rest, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to lift my arms tomorrow."

As he spoke, Leon wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve and planned to go into the house to replenish his water.

"Well, it's true that you should take a break. When I'm free, I'm usually exhausted after only half an hour of practice. I didn't expect you to be able to hold on for so long." Abigail agreed. After a long period of watching, she had calmed down and resumed her normal communication with Leon.

"After all, he is a farmer. How can he work in the fields if he doesn't have enough physical strength?" Leon said half-jokingly and then asked Abigail.

"Thank you, Abigail. What I learned this afternoon was very helpful to me. Just order whatever you want for dinner and I'll make it for you. If that doesn't work, we can go get the Stardrop and have Guts cook for us."
