- During the training, you must not use any magic, your first task is to learn how to block my attacks. The rest of the stufons can use all their spells as they did yesterday. - Professor Ni'lim said the last words loud enough for all the stufons to hear her.
Moving away from me for a few steps, I focused my attention on her trying to follow her movements, watching her take steps towards me, I did not notice how she was next to me and struck me in the chest. Expecting chest pain, but I didn't feel it.
- Don't lose sight of your opponent stufon Trey. - Professor Ni'lim's voice was heard.
Feeling the air next to me from the right side moving in my direction. I grabbed the stick and threw a backhand to where I thought Professor Ni'lim would be. I heard a blow on something soft, seeing how she blocked my metal stick, I struck another blow with my sword from the left side hoping to break through Professor Ni'lim's defense. But an unpleasant surprise was waiting for me, I felt a blow in the back. Turning around, I began to listen, trying to distinguish her footsteps in other sounds. On the left, grabbing the stick more comfortably and blocking the left side, I felt a blow in the right side of my body.
- I praise you for trying to counterattack and the ability to listen to footsteps, but the enemy will not be merciful to you and give you time to demonstrate your hearing. - Professor Ni'lim spoke in a cheerful voice behind me.
A shiver ran down my back, but pushing these thoughts away, I sent my hand behind my back expecting a blow, but the blow came to my left leg.
- Remember stufon Trey a smart opponent does not always attack where you are already waiting for his blow. - Professor Ni'lim's voice came from the right side.
Trying to calm my nervousness with the technique of breathing, I felt my strength go out, it seemed to me that my movements were slower. Trying to calm down, I closed my eyes and felt a blow on my left shoulder.
- Stufon Trey are you tired? Do you want me to call your other classmate, maybe he will be better than you. - Professor Ni'lim said mischievously behind me.
Her words changed something in me. Did I come here to become stronger? Then why do I feel weak, is she faster? Yes, is she more experienced? Yes, but I am the one chosen by the goddess of chaos herself, is it possible for a simple dark elf to stop a cursed swordsman? No.
Professor Ni'lim, who was waiting for the beginning of the lesson at the elite class, she saw them standing in the corridor and could only be more disappointed in the stufons of the present time. Ready to go to drive them into the classroom came stufon whom she least expected to see.
She only checked him yesterday and today he is already on his feet, she regretted the agreement with the director that only the first lesson he allowed her to check the stufon who, in her opinion, is capable of something. Waiting for him to start complaining about yesterday's lesson, but instead he asked him to train, at first it seemed to her that she misheard, but she saw from his look that he was not joking.
By giving him an armor that was powered by the magic of the wearer to absorb blows, she could let him change clothes in an empty classroom, but instead she decided to see how he would get out of the situation. And he surprised her that he did not hesitate to bare himself in front of other stufons from his class.
For some reason he chose a sword and a metal stick, which surprised her, but she decided to hide it and clarify why he took it, she could see that he was also
surprised. Deciding to check how well he knows how to follow the enemy, he was able to see two steps and then lost it.
Gradually, she began to strike two of the six blows he managed to block. But watching him start to panic, she decided to anger him, anger in battle can lead to death, but also go beyond its current limits as well.
She decided that stufon Trey was again trying to hear her footsteps or breathing, she struck a blow in the right hand, unlike instead of the first lesson, she just struck a strong and tangible blow. But what a surprise it was when he blocked the blow, deciding that it was an accident, she struck two blows in the legs.
He blocked one blow with his sword and with the other hand released the stick and tried to intercept her hand. But he was slower than Professor Ni'lim, she struck two blows, ending up on Trey's knees with a sword and a stick that he picked up and stood up. Professor Ni'lim felt the feeling that she thought she had forgotten the desire to teach.
Wanting to check her suspicion about the condition, she checked the magical vibrations, but they came only from other stufons.
Professor Ni'lim broke into a smile, the stufons who saw this smile began to attack their partners even harder, shocking the latter.
Professor Ni'lim did not pay attention to how the other stufons behaved, she had only one goal. She couldn't believe that a half-elf who was only eighteen years old had comprehended the state of peace with himself at this moment. All swordsmen have been striving to at least feel it for several centuries, waiting for it.
Deciding to check how much he was at peace with himself, she directed a small part of her magical vibrations at him, watching Trey's face, which had been calm before, but feeling her magical vibrations, his face began to change and was already ready to remove them. But when she saw Trey's calm face again, she felt a much stronger magical hesitation, it called for her to kneel down and lower her head in front of the monarch.
