The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

After Matthews returned to the castle, the butler immediately prepared dinner for him. Soon, the countess heard the news and rushed over. Seeing her son's return, her face showed joy.

While enjoying the delicious food, Matthews told his mother about his travel experiences.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement when she talked about the beauty of opera and shared her unique insights into the art of opera.

When Matthews described his experience of tasting delicacies from all over the world, the Countess carefully reminded him to pay attention to a balanced diet and pay attention to physical health. She emphasized that although the food outside is tempting and delicious, the meals at home pay more attention to nutritional value and help maintain a good physical condition.

The Earl walked into the dining room after Matthews finished his meal. He had heard about the competition between Matthews and Hunter. He looked at his son seriously, his eyes full of admiration.

He believed that Matthews' performance in the arena was not only a display of personal ability, but also a defense of the family's honor. In this competitive aristocratic world, strength and background are equally important. Matthews's ability to show his strength in the duel with Grand Duke Leo's grandson undoubtedly won respect and recognition for the family.

The Earl took a deep breath and said, "Matthews, you have to understand that this is how nobles interact with each other. Not only do you need a strong family background as support, but you also need your own strength to be recognized by the other party. Only in this way can you establish a true friendship."

Matthews described the tense confrontation in the arena in detail to his father, and every detail was vivid in his mind. The Count was deeply shocked. He was extremely proud of his son's improvisation and keen fighting instincts, but he also felt deeply guilty for not being able to teach Matthews fighting skills and family secrets.

The count took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and then began to analyze his fight with Hunter in depth for Matthews.

He pointed out that the reason why Matthews was able to compete with the powerful Hunter was mainly due to the following points: first, his physical fitness experienced an explosive period and reached an extremely high level; second, solid basic footwork and basic swordsmanship provided him with a stable fighting foundation; third, Matthews cleverly used the terrain advantage and adopted a quick entanglement strategy to effectively restrict and disrupt Hunter's attack rhythm. These three factors interacted with each other and together formed the cornerstone of Matthews' undefeated.

Perhaps Hunter thought at the time that Matthews was able to tie with him because of his rogue style of play, but the Earl believed that Hunter would seriously think about it and understand the real reason for Matthews' victory afterwards.

The Earl's eyes sparkled with eager expectations for his son's future. He said to Matthews earnestly, "Matthews, after a few days of adequate rest, you should have recovered your strength and energy. Now, it's time to re-engage in intensive training. Excessive comfort will wear down your fighting spirit. So starting tomorrow, I will personally teach you how to fight and learn the secret skills of our family. Remember, only by constantly challenging yourself and constantly surpassing yourself can you be invincible in future battles and win more glory for our family."

The morning sun gently penetrated the treetops beside the training ground, shining dappled light on Matthews, the Earl, and Knight Leben. The air around them was mixed with the natural fragrance of soil and grass, and occasionally the sound of birds in the distance broke the silence, as if cheering for this rigorous training.

Matthews stood in front of them, his eyes were sharp and his expression was focused. He knew that the next training would be a great test of his will and skills. The Earl and Knight Leben also had serious expressions, their eyes were full of expectations and trust in Matthews.

The Earl spoke first, and in a steady and powerful voice he taught Matthews the basics of fighting techniques.

He explained that fighting skills are a highly practical combat technique that combines the essence of practical experience from past generations and aims to defeat the opponent in the most efficient way. Every move and every form contains profound wisdom and power, and requires repeated practice and understanding to truly master.

Matthews listened carefully to the Earl's explanation, and the new knowledge kept echoing in his mind. He knew that he still had a long way to go before he could truly master the fighting skills, but he was ready to meet the challenge.

The earl's voice was filled with an unquestionable determination, and he continued, "Matthews, after careful consideration, I have decided to teach you two fighting skills and a set of family footwork.

The first is the "spinning slash", a technique that allows you to create unexpected attack angles in combat. It emphasizes the use of lateral force, which is both powerful and elegant, and can be said to be a perfect combination of violence and aesthetics.

The second is the 'joint lock', this technique allows you to firmly control your opponent in close combat, and even achieve a reversal in adversity.

Finally, I will teach you our family's "Albert Ghost Step". This set of footwork is unpredictable and will help you maneuver in battle and easily avoid enemy attacks. I have full confidence in these skills and believe that they will become your right-hand man on the battlefield. "

Matthews was full of desire for the fighting skills and family secrets described by the Earl. He knew very well that the spinning slash, joint lock and Albert Ghost Step were not only advanced fighting skills, but also extremely practical in actual combat. He understood that in order to master these skills, he had to put in a lot of effort and sweat.

The Earl explained the essence of the spinning slash to Matthews in detail. He pointed out that the spinning slash is a universal fighting skill widely used in various combat situations.

The core of this technique is to execute the slashing action with a specific trajectory and force, so that the weapon forms an arc or circular movement path. This technique can not only significantly increase the attack range, but also to a certain extent confuse the opponent and create opportunities for attack.

The Count further emphasized that it would take long and hard practice to truly master the whirling slash and unleash its maximum power, and he encouraged Matthews to have patience and perseverance to hone his skills until they became second nature in his combat.

Matthews listened to the Earl's teachings attentively, his heart filled with love and pursuit of fighting skills. He was determined to make every effort to practice and perfect his skills, so that he could use them freely in future battles and fight for the honor of his family.

Count Albert assigned Knight Lieben to demonstrate various power-generating techniques of the spinning slash to Matthews, and personally explained the unique advantages of each technique:

The most basic spinning slash is the horizontal swing of the weapon, in which the attacker swings the weapon horizontally, usually to quickly strike the enemy in front.

The vertical spinning slash is similar to the horizontal spinning slash, but the direction of the action is changed to vertical, and can be used to hit targets at higher or lower positions.

Spiral slash, add the action of rotating the body while swinging the weapon, making the trajectory of the weapon spiral. This method can increase the unpredictability of the attack.

Jumping spin slash, a spinning slash combined with a jumping action, can attack from the air and cause a sudden blow to the enemy on the ground.

Continuous Spin Slash: Execute multiple Spin Slashes in quick succession to form a continuous offensive, causing continuous damage to the enemy.

Power Spinning Slash, adding the strength of the whole body when swinging the weapon to maximize the speed and impact of the weapon, suitable for dealing with solid defenses or heavy enemies.

The skill of spinning slash, through clever coordination of body and weapon, makes the weapon produce special effects during the spinning process, such as quickly retrieving the weapon after a spinning slash to prepare for the next attack.

The personalized teaching of the Earl and Knight Lieben gave Matthews a deeper understanding of the spinning slash. Under their guidance, Matthews initially mastered the spinning horizontal slash and vertical slash, but he had not yet mastered more advanced techniques such as spiral, jump, continuous, power and skill-based spinning slash.

The Earl explained to Matthews that the subsequent spinning slash technique had higher requirements on physical fitness, and if one tried it forcibly without sufficient strength, it might result in physical injury.

Therefore, he suggested that Matthews focus on mastering the first two spinning cuts and strengthen daily basic training during this period. After his physical fitness reaches an appropriate level, he can move on to learning other complex techniques.

The Count also emphasized that the effective use of each spinning slash depends on the attacker's skill level, strength, speed and control of the weapon. In actual combat, flexible selection of the appropriate spinning slash method can fully exert its combat effectiveness.
