Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Beichen didn't come so late this time. He planned to take a stroll after breakfast, but he didn't expect to end up here.

Sofia was naturally the first to arrive. When she saw Beichen coming, she greeted him with a smile and then flipped through the booklet in her hand.

"what is this?"

Beichen asked curiously. The words on the booklet were written so densely that one couldn't tell what was written on it unless one looked carefully.

"Regarding the things that will be used in today's training, today is not just a simple physical training."

Zofia took out a pen and ticked a few boxes on the booklet, then glanced at the time.

It’s still a long way from the time when the training officially starts.

"You came so early, do you want to participate in the special training as well?"

Zofia asked casually, even though he knew Beichen didn't need such a thing.

"I just had nothing to do after eating. The competition I'm participating in is still in a few days."

Beichen shrugged and said.

The two chatted for a while, and Maria just happened to jog into the training ground at this time.

"Sister Zofia, ah, and Beichen, good morning!"

"Good morning............"

Beichen raised his head and looked at Maria.

It's so strange. I looked so tired yesterday that I was about to die, but when I woke up this morning, I seemed to be fine again.

After participating in such strenuous exercise, I woke up the next morning with back pain. How could I be so energetic?

"Maria, you were so tired yesterday. Are you okay now?"

Beichen asked.

"It's totally fine. I'll be fully rested after a good night's sleep!"

The expression on Maria's face seemed to be telling Beichen that there would be no problem at all even if they had the same training as yesterday.

Just when Beichen was about to say a few words, Sofia coughed twice and spoke.

"Since you've come so early, let's add half an hour to the morning training."

"what?"

Maria's expression changes so quickly.

Indeed, now that you are here, why don’t you want to not train?

Give me more practice!

After putting on their armor, Maria and Zofia finally stood on the venue that had been prepared in advance.

Beichen naturally brought a small stool and sat in the audience.

"Maria, let's officially start training. From now on, I will attack you continuously. What you need to do is to dodge or block the attacks as much as possible, and attack me as much as possible."

"Each time the armor is hit, one point is scored. Each time it is hit, one point is deducted. Can I leave the counting to you, Beichen?"

Bei Chen, who was sitting next to him, raised his hand and made an "OK" gesture, then said, "Leave it to me. My eyesight is still pretty good."

This time, Zofia also wore the same heavy armor, and the increased weight would also have a certain impact on her flexibility.

However, for Maria, training may become a lot easier. After all, Zofia is known for her flexibility.

"Well, I'll count to three, and then we'll officially begin."

"Three, two, one!"

Zofia took the lead in attacking, and the weapon she held today was not a whip blade, but an ordinary training sword.

But even with a training sword, her fighting skills were no match for Maria.

From the very beginning, Maria was suppressed in the corner of the training ground and could only defend passively without any chance to fight back.

Is it possible that there is also such a thing as side suppression in knight competitions?

The sound of metal colliding continued on the training ground, and Beichen silently counted the number of successful attacks made by Zofia.

Wait, how many times has this happened?

In this way, Maria was beaten in the corner. Later, she finally found an opportunity to fight back, but all her blows were deflected by Zofia's sword, and she was hit several more times.

The most important thing is that while Sofia was attacking Maria, she never stopped talking, which was a double torture both mentally and physically.

.....................

An hour passed like this, but Zofia continued to attack as if nothing had happened, and Maria was shivering in the corner.

However, it is worth mentioning that within this hour, she actually launched thirteen attacks on Zofia, two of which were successful, which is indeed a great improvement!

The morning was spent happily.

The training sword in Zofia's hand was already scarred by battle, and so was the armor on Maria's body. The points where Zofia was accustomed to attack were all dented.

"What's the end result?"

Sofia wiped the sweat from her head, looked at Beichen and asked.

Maria also took a few breaths and looked at Beichen with anticipation.

I shouldn't have lost so badly, after all, I successfully fought back many times.

"Well, how should I put it?"

Beichen looked at the two people in front of him, and then announced the results.

"Maria..............minus 1,158 points."

"How much, how much?"

Maria was stunned for a moment, a little bit unbelieving, but she asked again without giving up.

"Yes, you heard me right, Maria. Negative one thousand one hundred and fifty-eight points."

Beichen shook his head and repeated the outrageous number again.

"Yeah, it's a little lower than I thought. I thought it would be around minus 80 or 90 percent."

Zofia nodded and spoke.

"Ugh, how could this happen, did I get hit so many times?"

Maria said sadly.

"Why do I feel like Zofia is letting you go a little bit? Otherwise, you wouldn't have so many opportunities to fight back."

Beichen shrugged and spoke, his cold words once again hit Maria hard.

"So........did you release the water?"

Maria's face showed a sad expression again.

"Of course I let you win. Didn't you notice that Zofia was fighting you with her right hand? If she had used her left hand, you would have lost even more miserably."

Beichen looked at the hand that Sofia was holding the sword with, and used her hand very tightly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Zofia waved her hand and then spoke.

"It's getting late. Let's eat and then continue training after a short rest. There may be some changes in the afternoon training."

As for lunch, Beichen didn't have the audacity to go to Maria's house for a free meal, but just ate outside.

By the afternoon, Maria and Beichen also knew what the changes that Sofia was talking about were.

This time, Zofia will not take the initiative to attack, but will only carry out a simple defensive counterattack, leaving the initiative of the attack completely to Maria.

So what would Maria do in this situation?
