Training Begins (2)
The tent was very big. There was enough space for two tables. There were quill pens, ink, and thick paper on them. Seeing this, Abel was excited. Being uneducated had always been his problem. Now that he could learn knowledge, it was like heaven to him.
However, the so-called heaven also differed from person to person. If Catherine was the one who taught Abel knowledge, it would be a utopia in heaven. It would be a blissful life. Catherine, who had a weak personality, would definitely not put too much pressure on Abel.
If Avril was the one teaching Abel, it would be heaven. Although Avril wasn't as gentle as Catherine, she was patient and active. She would rather be killed than sit there and teach Abel. So, she ended up playing with Abel.
However, life was not going well. Winst, who knew the two girls well, would not let them teach Abel even if a coconut hit their heads. Therefore, this great and glorious task fell on Brad. You couldn't count on Will, who didn't talk much every day, or Babasa, who was not much smarter than a magical beast.
Due to the arrangement of the leader, the paradise life that Abel yearned for was like a mirage. No matter how beautiful it was, it was fake and would never come. What was even more tragic was that Brad's appearance directly brought Abel to hell. The first thing Abel did after he learned how to read was to pull out grass and tie it into a small person, write Brad's name on it, and then stab it with a needle.
"Abel, our language is made up of 26 basic letters. Different letters are combined to form words. All you have to do is remember the words. First of all, I will teach you the 26 letters. Remember them well. I will ask you later. If you answer wrong, your lunch will be gone."
Brad wrote down 26 letters on the paper and carefully taught Abel the pronunciation and writing of the letters. Abel worked very hard and quickly remembered how to read the letters. The only thing that was not presentable was that the letters written by his right hand, which was carrying a weight, were definitely the type that was not loved by his grandfather or grandmother.
After giving Abel some time to remember, he followed Brad and started the exam. Abel was indeed very smart. After Brad finished asking questions, Abel drew a picture of 26 earthworms playing on the paper. Brad admired this rare handwriting from the bottom of his heart, because he didn't know how Abel thought of writing it.
Abel, who had written the 26 letters in order, was obviously very satisfied with his intelligence. However, when Brad randomly checked the letters, Abel realized that memorizing things was not that simple. He needed to memorize the knowledge. After another round of memorization, he finally passed Brad's test.
"Today is your first time learning cultural knowledge, so I arranged the simplest for you. However, your performance is only passable. I will teach you vocabulary tomorrow. If you can't remember it, you can wait to starve to death.”Obviously, compared to Abel's cultivation speed, Brad was not very satisfied with his speed of mastering culture.
"Your cultural class in the morning is divided into two parts. The first part is to teach you how to read, and the second part is to teach you knowledge related to this world. For example, the history, geography, and unique civilizations of the various races of the Haas Continent. We mercenaries travel all over the continent, so we must always be careful not to violate the local taboos.”
It had to be said that Abel liked this kind of story-like class the most. Brad was very knowledgeable and had traveled a lot. Many things that came out of his mouth made people feel as if they were in the same place.
Happy times were always short. When Abel was still not satisfied, Brad ended today's class. Abel also respected Brad from the bottom of his heart because he was really talented. However, this respect didn't last long before it dissipated in Brad's words.
"Albert, is the story good? If you forget what I said, you should eat more tonight and pray that you won't starve tomorrow.”
Abel, who had been listening to a story, was dumbfounded. No way, there was a test for storytelling?
Abel walked out of the tent absent-mindedly. His unfocused eyes gradually focused on a golden wild boar that was roasted on the fire, emitting an alluring fragrance. After training for the whole morning, Abel ran towards the wild boar. If one looked closely, one would find that his pupils were filled with the reflection of the wild boar. As for the existence of others, he had long ignored them.
" Whoosh!" A cold arrow stabbed in front of him pulled Abel back to his senses.
"Hey, no one's stopping you from eating. Do you have to drool for so long? If your saliva really got on me, how am I supposed to eat?”Avril's desire for food was definitely not inferior to Abel's.
"Don't elves live on fruits and vegetables?”Abel also found Avril's gluttony strange.
"Not everyone is a vegetarian. I like to eat meat, so what do you care?”
"Oh, I see." Abel didn't take Avril's reply to heart. It was only when it was time to eat that he realized that Avril's petite figure had a huge appetite. From then on, every meal became a battle between the two of them.
While Abel and Avril were talking, Brad also reported to Winst about Abel's studies.
"Alright, let's start eating. We still have training to do in the afternoon.”With the approval of the regiment commander, everyone began to prepare to eat.
With a flash of the blade, a pig's head and leg appeared in Babasa's hand. As expected of Babasa, he really could eat, no wonder he was so strong. Abel thought to himself, and made a fair evaluation of Babasa's appetite.
However, what happened next gave Abel a huge shock. He watched with his mouth agape as Avril took the pig leg that was bigger than her head from Babasa. Then, she opened her mouth and devoured it at lightning speed.
"You... You…" Abel pointed at the pork leg in Avril's hand and looked at her with a terrified expression.
"Sigh... Abel, it's good that you're used to it. Let me remind you, if you don't eat quickly, there won't be anything left later.”Winst understood Abel's behavior. After all, they had all been there before.
Hearing Winst's words, Abel turned around and saw that everyone was very focused on digesting the food in front of them. Even the most shy Catherine did not care about her manners.
Abel was very curious. What was wrong with everyone? Why did it seem like they were fighting over a meal? It was as if no one was going to snatch it from them. His doubts were quickly answered. When he turned around to cut a piece of pork, he was horrified to find that Ariel had already finished her battle and was preparing to open up the next battlefield.
"D * mn, Avril, are you an elf or an orc?”Abel, who finally understood the situation, shouted loudly and started fighting Avril for food.
"Phew ~ I'm so full. The taste is really good. If only I didn't have to eat in such a hurry.”Captain Winst sighed.
"Yeah, I have to work hard every time I eat. These days are really..." Brad said emotionally.
Will didn't say anything. He just pointed in Avril's direction.
"Sigh…" Everyone sighed in unison in the wind.
"Alright, let's have a rest after dinner. We still have Albert's combat training in the afternoon.”After sighing with emotion, the regiment commander gave the order.
Hearing the leader's words, everyone went to find a place to rest. Only Abel tried his best to recall the story that Brad had told him today for tomorrow's meal.
"Abel, your combat training will be under Babasa and Will's charge. One of them is a strength type, while the other is a speed type. Babasa will start first.”
"Captain, don't worry. I'll train Abel well.”Babasa smiled as honestly as ever, but in Abel's eyes, his smile was not ferocious.
After the two of them were ready, Abel attacked first. Abel wasn't afraid of a strength-based fighter at all. He was confident in his speed. His legs exerted strength, and the explosive force sent him flying like the wind, heading straight for Babasa.
Babasa did not show any mercy when he saw Aber charging towards him. He threw a punch at him. If Aber wanted to attack Babasa, he would have to block it and counterattack, or dodge to Babasa's left to attack. Babasa's fist had completely sealed off his path to the right. Even if Aber really did go around from the right, Babasa would still be out of his attack range. After all, Babasa's arms were much longer than Aber's. Babasa, who was waiting for Abel to react, clenched his left hand tightly, ready to attack when Abel dodged.
Abel's reaction was fast. In an instant, he had seen through Babasa's strategy and intentions. He could not block or dodge, so he reacted decisively when Babasa punched him. He turned from running to shoveling, sliding past Babasa's legs. Not only did he avoid Babasa's attack, but he also successfully circled behind him.
When he passed Babasa, Abel's right hand suddenly hooked onto Babasa's leg, and he used his arm to stop his body from sliding. The huge force did not land on Babasa's leg, but it did not push him down. Abel's body suddenly stopped, and his left fist landed on his knee. Babasa's right leg suddenly lost its support, and his body tilted and fell backward. Behind him, Abel quickly caught his body, crossed his arms around Babasa's bald head, and twisted it.
From the beginning to the end, this set of movements was not perfect, especially Ai Bo's reaction speed and novel tactics. Even Ai Bo was very satisfied with his results. However, there was one flaw. The idea was good, but if it was not put into practice, everything would be useless. The only flaw was that Abel couldn't move Babasa's head.
No matter how hard Abel tried, Babasa's head stood there like a mountain, unmoving. This was the first time Abel had encountered such a situation. The reason why he dared to use such a killing move on Babasa was because he had confidence in him. He believed that with his strength, he wouldn't be able to threaten Babasa's life. At most, he would just sprain his neck. However, he didn't expect his move to be useless against Babasa.
Babasa wouldn't give Abel the chance to hold his head, so he grabbed Abel's head with his right hand and threw him out.
In mid-air, Abel had only one thought in his mind. Was this guy still human?
