"Thank you very much!" The instructor felt slightly relieved, although these two kids sounded confident, they seed to be very cooperative and wouldn’t likely cause trouble at this ti.
Elsa walked over and stood in front of the examiner.
"I saw your recent fight, and your grasp of the combat manual is comndable, but your movents are stiff and inflexible. Especially in many of the movents, if you always execute them so rigidly in actual combat, you will surely give your opponent the chance to counterattack! Now, show a reverse montum slash!" said the examiner in a tone of an experienced senior.
Elsa imdiately perford the move as he described.
"See! You all saw it too, right? Your move is almost exactly the sa as in the tutorial, which will lead you to be instantly exploited by a real powerhouse enemy when facing them!"
As he spoke, the examiner also held an energy sword and perford a block and counterattack movent at a slower pace.
"Did you see that? Just by blocking and counterattacking like this, I could have hit you," the examiner said.
Elsa nodded to indicate she saw it.
"Co, let’s demonstrate it practically, rember, everything must start from actual combat. You do a reverse montum slash, and I will let you experience how inappropriate such a strike is. Also, I will lower the power of the energy sword so it won’t damage your armor," the examiner said.
"Okay." Elsa assud a stance and also lowered the power of her energy sword.
"Co on! Attack!" yelled the examiner.
Whir!
Whir!
The two energy swords almost simultaneously swung through the air, and there was a brief collision. However, the scenario the examiner had imagined did not occur; his energy sword did not hit Elsa, but Elsa’s energy sword slid across his chest! Since Elsa’s energy sword power was significantly reduced, the blade only sparked against the examiner’s body. It didn’t really cause any harm, but the psychological impact on the examiner was imnse.
"Failed to show off," Long Yi smirked.
"No, no, that’s wrong, I told you to do a reverse montum slash, how did you change your move so suddenly?" the examiner said with great displeasure.
"You said that everything must start from actual combat. Since my reverse montum slash was blocked by you, I had to follow what’s taught in the manual and use the force of being blocked at that mont to perform a horizontal slash," Elsa said innocently.
"Manual? Does the manual ntion that?" the examiner said, now visibly angry.
"Yes!"
Elsa then pulled out the recruit combat training manual from her personal space and quickly flipped to a certain page. It detailed several counterasures if a reverse montum slash is blocked or dodged, including exactly the blocking thod used by the examiner, complete with a sowhat mocking tone: "When facing a reverse montum slash, so rookie enemies might use this type of blocking counterattack. Such people might lack real combat experience, presuming that blocking and countering could be efficient, but in fact, you just need to use the force from the block at that mont to switch to a sweeping strike, which can directly hit above the opponent’s chest."
The textbook unequivocally stated the content, and Elsa’s move was precise.
At this mont, the instructor of the first squad couldn’t see the examiner’s expression, but he knew the young examiner’s face must be extrely ugly. After all, this ant his authority was being seriously challenged!
"I know this content! I was correcting your mistake! Otherwise, with those rigid moves of yours, if I had gotten a bit more serious, you wouldn’t have had the slightest chance to counterattack!" the examiner shouted.
"Well, then, please take it a bit more seriously. I am quite slow, and if you don’t take it seriously, I won’t be able to recognize my mistake," Elsa said.
The intent of her words was very clear—if you don’t defeat , I will never admit you are right.
Actually, such characters were not uncommon among The Forgotten Ones, who worshipped powerhouses. Although ’powerhouses’ also included those in positions of authority, temporary power like the examiner’s was hardly acknowledged as legit power by others.
"Fine! Fine! Good for you! I initially intended to give your instructor so face, but it seems you don’t need that courtesy!" the examiner roared furiously.
"Yes, I don’t need courtesy," Elsa said. "If you have the strength, teach a lesson with your power; if you don’t, find soone else who can."
This statent essentially ant their confrontation was out in the open. The examiner had never expected anyone to dare contradict him like this, especially not in a recruit camp!
"Since you’re courting death, don’t bla for not being rciful! Co on!"
Whir!
His energy sword at maximum power output, the examiner took a real combat stance.
Elsa’s energy sword also reached maximum power output. Since both were using standard issue energy armor, there was almost no difference in the power of the energy swords or the defensive capabilities of the armor. Generally, the advantage veterans had over recruits lay in combat experience and control over the energy armor, which the veterans thought to be their edge.
