Chapter 434: Reach out to grab
It rained a little early the next morning, but it stopped soon. There were busy sounds of servants and maids in the garden early in the morning, and several furry pet monsters danced happily among the rain-stained flowers.
Bing Zhixie woke up from her room, and Alice got up early in the morning and went out. After washing, she went to the corridor next to the outer garden on the first floor to stretch her lazy muscles.
A maid passed by the corridor and saw Bing Zhixie and said: "Mr. Magician, you're awake. I've been ready for you in the small hall earlier."
" Don't call me the wizard, just call me by my name." Bing Zhixie asked: "Where is the princess?"
The maid said: "Your Highness the Princess got up very early to eat. I heard that she went to learn martial arts with the guards in the palace."
"Oh, thank you." Bing Zhixie went to the small hall and ate some After eating polenta and fruit, I went to the library to get some books and went back to my room to continue reading.
Not far from the official residence of the owner of Caesar Manor, there is a martial arts training space specially built for the guards of the manor and the civilians of the manor. At this moment, Alice was having a fierce fight with a guard in the field.
The guard only parried and did not fight back. Alice kept attacking fiercely, but she did not break through the guard's defense with any punch or kick and hit him.
After a while, both people stopped.
Alice wiped the sweat from her forehead and gasped: "How was it? Yesterday...yesterday afternoon I have memorized all the technical moves you taught me."
The guard said: " Your Highness, you are very talented and smart.”
Alice breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes at him and said, “Don’t pay me any more. I asked other guards, like this. It’s a simple set of moves that they quickly mastered when they were my age. In order to practice this set of moves, I didn’t go to bed until after one o’clock in the evening.”
The guard listened and thought. After a slight shock, she immediately said seriously: "I'm sorry."
Alice asked strangely: "What are you apologizing for?"
The guard felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry for my attitude. I thought, princess, that you were just interested for a moment and would stop learning after two days, so I just wanted to teach you for fun. I'm really sorry."
"Haha, it doesn't matter." Alice shook her hand and smiled: "Just teach me seriously now. I am studying very seriously, teacher."
"Yes." The guard also smiled. .
Alice asked: "Well, what about the moves I just made?"
The guard hesitated for a moment: "Do you want me to tell the truth?"
"Of course." Alice affirmed.
The guard said: "There are many problems. First, the strength is not enough; second, the speed is not fast; then, the movements are not in place; finally, and the most serious, your fighting will is not firm enough."
Alice listened to him mentioning four of her shortcomings in succession. She was originally very proud of having mastered all the moves in one night, but now she felt as if she had been poured cold water on her head.
The guard saw Alice's appearance. Although he couldn't bear to stab her, since she studied so hard, he had no choice but to tell the whole truth: "Your Highness, many people think that warriors are the most despicable. The professions are only those common people who are the most humble and cannot learn magic. In fact, it is very wrong to think this way. For a warrior, just like a magician, there are high requirements for talent. And your Royal Highness, your talent as a warrior is not considered. Okay.”
Alice’s heart trembled and she lowered her head sadly. At the beginning, her master Bing Zhixie told her that she did not have the talent to become a magician, so she transferred to the warrior class. But now, some people say that she is not even qualified to be a warrior, and she suddenly feels like a waste. .
"Your Highness...Princess..." The guard saw Alice looking very sad.
Alice shook her head and forced a smile: "It's okay, you...just go on."
The guard said: "The strength of the warrior in the early stage is relatively weak. Compared with knights and magic, There are many things that are inferior to teachers and magicians, so You must rely on your natural strength to make up for the lack of fighting spirit. The power of your fist is too small, and it is difficult to hurt others."
After a pause, the guard continued: "If the strength is not strong enough, there is no way. Very good speed is fine, that's what the warrior is after. It's speed and strength. To a certain extent, speed is more important than strength. There are many female warriors on the mainland. They are not as strong as men, but they can pursue sufficient attack speed. All soldiers require The speed of shooting and reaction. And your speed is not good either. No matter the speed of movement, shooting speed or reaction speed, it is not fast enough."
Alice closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly: "What else?"
"The other thing is that your movements are not flexible enough, and many of your movements are not in place." The guard said: "You must know that when a warrior does not have strong strength in the early stage, he can only rely on his flexible body to protect himself and accurate but in place movements. Attack others. They say a warrior must be fast, accurate, and ruthless. Accuracy means counterattack. Relying on operational skills, you can make various different movements to attack others in different situations or in the air. If you can't do it, you won't be able to hit others, let alone win the battle."
Alice added: "Also, is your will to fight not strong enough?"
The guard said: "This is the most important point for a warrior. A warrior's strength comes from fighting spirit, and fighting spirit comes from the extension of your fighting consciousness. Whether the will is firm or not is directly related to the bursting out of the body The fighting spirit is strong and weak, and what I felt from your attack just now is that you are fighting. Your will is not strong, and you just regard it as an exercise, not a life and death battle, which seriously affects the display of your fighting spirit."
"Insufficient strength, slow speed, and slow movements. Not in place, not strong enough in will..." Alice stood on the spot in silence. At this time, another guard came from a distance and shouted: "Hey, brother, it's time to have breakfast."
The guard replied: "Okay, I'll come." He looked at Alice: "Then Princess, I..."
"You go, I will come back to you after dinner." Alice Si said sadly.
"I'm resigning." The guard bowed out and turned to leave.
Alice was not in the mood to practice anymore and returned to the room.
Bing Zhixie was reading in the room. When he saw Alice coming back dejected, she sat on the chair and remained silent as soon as she entered the room. Bing Zhixie closed the book and asked, "What's wrong?"
The tears that Alice was holding back suddenly burst out: "Master...Master, am I useless?"
Bing Zhixie looked at her questioningly.
Alice told what had just happened, and she kept crying: "I can't be a magician, and I don't even have the talent to be a warrior. I really feel like...like a piece of trash, even Not as good as ordinary civilians."
"Is it because of this?" Bing Zhixie said coldly: "You are indeed not as good as the most ordinary civilians."
"? Alice looked at her master.
Bing Zhixie said: "If this little setback makes you so discouraged, then you can only become an ordinary person with nothing to do in the future."
Alice cried: "But ...But I don’t have the talent to be a good warrior.”
“Is talent really that important?” Bing Zhixie suddenly lost his temper and shouted angrily.
Alice was startled. She had never seen the master speak to her so loudly.
Bing Zhixie closed the book, walked to the side and said: "Last year when I was at Kulantin College, there were always people talking about genius, talent and so on in my ears. Let me tell you, I don't like this kind of thing. If you don't have the confidence to do it, you just make excuses to comfort yourself and ignore it, even if there is something in this world. So-called geniuses, they just discovered their own advantages and made good use of them. Everyone has a side that surpasses others. Don't use this excuse to cover up your own abilities. Forgot, why did you leave the palace and come out with me?”
Alice said: "I don't want to stay in the palace anymore, I want to go out and see the outside world."
"What else?"
"What else?" Ellie Si lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said: "I don't want to be pampered by them, I want to prove my Ability, I want them to see that I am not a princess who can only be pampered."
Bing Zhixie looked back at her and said, "Is this how you prove your ability?"
>
"I..."
"Do you know why I agreed to let you follow me?" Bing Zhixie said: "Because I think you, like me, will work hard for your own beliefs and dreams without giving in. But, just because of this, you will Have you given up?”
Alice lowered her head.
Bing Zhixie said again: "What is proof? What is proof? Others think you can do it. If you do it, it is nothing. Only others think you can't do it, but you do it. Only then can you prove to them openly that you are not the waste they imagined!"
After a pause, he continued: "Isn't it because you are not strong enough, not fast enough, and your movements are not good enough? , isn’t your will strong enough? Yes, there is something in it. There is a factor of talent in it, but it is not something that cannot be achieved through hard work. It doesn't matter if you don't have much strength. The source of a warrior's strength is fighting spirit. It doesn't matter if you are not fast. Your reaction speed, attack speed, and movement speed can all be cultivated. Okay, just practice. If your will is not firm, you can make it firm through continuous training."
"Master!" Alice stood up and wiped her tears with her hands: "I understand."
"Ellie's line, it may be far away and not within reach of you. If you reach out your hand, it may not be it, but it may be frustration and pain. But if you give up your persistent belief in it, it will Will be farther and farther away from you.”
Alice said: "I understand, Master, and I promise you that I will never be so downcast or lose confidence again."
"Whether you lose confidence or not has nothing to do with me. Even if you die, it has nothing to do with me." Bing Zhixie sat back down, opened the book and continued reading.
Alice laughed heartily. Her bad mood came and went quickly. This may be due to her optimistic character.
Walking on the path in the garden, she smiled and said: "Yes, Master did not give up on such a difficult thing in order to get all the dragons. How could I lose confidence because of such a little setback and failure? ? I'm actually very powerful. Even King Sera was seriously injured by me. I'll go find him again after he finishes eating. This time I must be alert, no matter what happens. I won’t back down, haha..."
