honor me as god

Chapter 213 Left and Right Hands
Everyone was a little confused, not knowing why Chino came to this conclusion.

Nicole thought that Kino was dissatisfied with her sword skills, so she hurriedly said: "I will work harder to hone my sword skills, take it."

"It's not about your sword skills. Your sword skills are very good. I can't find much fault with your movements. The problem lies in your figure." Kino stretched out his wooden sword and made a stroke between the top of Nicole's head and his chest. A gesture, as if measuring the length, "You are short, and correspondingly, your arm span is shorter than others, and your attack distance is severely limited. This will lead to a problem - the blade is the same length, the opponent can attack you, but you Can't attack the opponent."

The confrontation between the two just now perfectly confirmed what Chino said.

In the final confrontation, the reason why Kino didn't dodge, but went forward, was because Nicole's wingspan was too short.

When his wooden sword hit Neeko's forehead, Neeko's blade didn't even touch his clothes.

When a master makes a move, the slightest difference can be a thousand miles away.

An inconspicuous difference in wingspan is likely to be a gap that cannot be bridged even after ten years of hard work.

Chino continued: "When you were a reserve imperial guard, you must have had this experience. When you confront a tall guard, even if the opponent's skills are far inferior to yours, he can control the distance of your body and make you very Hard to hurt him."

Nicole lowered her head and responded with silence instead.

Kino: "Think about it again, aren't all the powerful swordsmen in the palace tall? As a woman, how tall is Denessa the Sword of Daybreak?"

Nicole murmured: "1 meter 76"

"Look, is this the truth?" Kino sighed, shook his head and said, "In terms of sword skills, I believe you must be pretty good in the reserve team, but your height defect destined you to be the bottom."

"Although hard work can make up for one's weakness, reality is not a fairy tale. Effort and income are often not directly proportional. Many innate things don't mean that you can make up for them if you want to."

Nicole's eyes dimmed. In fact, on the first day she entered the palace, when Denisa welcomed the newcomers on behalf of the imperial guards, she specifically addressed this issue to her.

Like Kino, Denisa also suggested that she give up using the sword as a weapon and turn to practice other weapons that are more suitable for her short stature.

But she never gave up the sword, day after day, put in several times more effort than others to practice.

Every day at the end of the training camp, when the tall guys went to drink, she would stand in the empty training ground by herself, slashing and slashing at the wooden figurine until late at night.

Even so, she is still like what Denisa said, she can't beat anyone, and her grades are always at the bottom.

She had spent several months practicing the technique. Tall guys could prevent her from getting close by simply controlling the distance of their bodies, and then easily defeated her by using their wingspan advantage.

Seeing that Nicole looked very disappointed, Kino said calmly: "Don't be discouraged, you are simply not suitable for swords, it's not that you are not suitable for being a warrior. As long as you choose the right weapon and take advantage of your body, your strength will definitely go a step further. Let me give you two reference directions—"

"One, go to Baisa for advice, and practice bow and arrow with him. Archers have almost no requirements on height, and being short is even beneficial-the area of ​​attack is small, and it can naturally lower the opponent's hit rate in a duel."

"Second, live to death, learn short knives or daggers with a shorter attack range. In extremely close combat, conventional weapons such as guns, swords, spears and hammers are limited in length and will become very inflexible. Your wingspan will be disadvantaged. Turn it into an advantage. But this kind of short weapon must ensure that your speed is fast enough to hit close to the person. Once you are pulled away from your position, you will fall into a desperate situation of being short and dangerous."

"Just these two directions, you can choose for yourself. If you have other more unpopular preferences, such as hidden weapons, you can discuss them with me."

Neeko clenched her fist tightly, her voice was low but full of determination: "I will not give up the sword."

Kino was a little puzzled: "Do you have any obsession with weapons like swords?"

Nicole lowered her head and said nothing, complex emotions appeared in her eyes from time to time, which also indicated that she really had something hidden in her heart.

"That's up to you, I don't care about your own private affairs." Kino didn't want to be a so-called confidant big brother, he raised his wooden sword and said, "Go on, when you lose a lot, maybe you can think about it." clear."

In the ensuing duel, Nicole was quite stubborn and tried her best to attack Kino, chopping, slashing, stabbing, and picking in turn, but all the attacks were dismissed by Kino lightly.

Just when Nicole organized another attack, she suddenly felt her arms stiffen, and a strong resistance came from the sword, preventing the sword from moving.

"Look, it's the problem of arm length again." Kino's voice came, and Nicole took a closer look, only to see his hand around at some point, holding the bottom end of her wooden sword, and holding it locked.

Nicole tried to fly Kino with all her strength, but Kino was taller than her and had the pressure of condescending, and her own strength was not weaker than hers. Even though she blushed, she still couldn't move the wooden sword.

In a blink of an eye, Kino let go of his hand. First, he lightly avoided the downward slash, and then slashed at Nicole's side with his backhand, sending her flying.

Nicole was beaten and rolled into the crowd, and hit Baiza directly, knocking off the wooden sword in his hand, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Perhaps because she was in a hurry, Nicole didn't care what to do, picked up Baisa's sword, and rushed towards Kino with two swords in her hand.

Under the disadvantage of arm span, one sword is the same as a hundred swords, and it will not become longer just because there are more swords.

Just when Kino intercepted the incoming double swords, an accident happened.

Nicole slashed against Kino with the sword in her left hand, and the sword in her right hand changed direction without any warning, and when she touched Kino's sword, her petite body swirled like a frightened bird.

The next moment, the two changed directions again, the sword in the right hand caught Kino's blade, and the sword in the left hand was drawn forward swiftly, leaving a continuous shadow in the air like a poisonous snake. He neighed under the violent friction, and struck Kino's face with a fierce wind.

"Oh!"

Kino was staggered, almost fell to the ground, and swollen bruises appeared on his face.

Everyone was so frightened that their livers trembled, and Nicole was even more stupid, her face flushed and she was at a loss: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

"Doll, you don't hit people in the face, be careful!" Lugo knocked her on the head, and hurried to check on Chino's injuries.

Kino raised his hand to indicate that he was fine. Although his face was swollen, it was not broken, so he took out a tissue and wiped the dust, and said to Nicole, "Pick up the sword and let me take a closer look at your posture."

Nicole hastily clenched her own sword.

Chino: "I mean two."

Nicole was taken aback, and picked up Baisa's sword on the ground, holding both swords in both hands. "

Kino thought for a moment, then stretched out his sword to Neeko: "Fight me back."

Nicole subconsciously raised the sword in her left hand and blocked Kino's sword within a foot of her. At the same time, her right hand made a completely different movement, stretching forward naturally, stabbing the sword in her right hand towards Kino's side rib.

Kino looked puzzled: "Who taught you this technique of attacking with both hands at the same time, with completely different movements, one block and one stab?"

Nicole was a little dazed, and muttered: "No one taught me to subconsciously just now"

Kino thought for a while and said, "Hold two swords, draw a circle on the ground with your left hand and a square with your right hand for me to see."

Neeko does.

Under everyone's gaze, the two swords in her hands were as steady as well water without waves, drawing a circle and one side on the ground, the shape was as perfect as measured by a ruler, and they were even closed at the same time.

"Interesting." A playful smile appeared on Kino's face, "You are actually this kind of person."
