During the Middle Ages and Renaissance, swordsmanship was popular in Europe. There are many different styles and schools of swordsmanship traditions across Europe, and each country and region has its own unique swordsmanship tradition. In the Middle Ages, knights were important practitioners of swordsmanship, receiving strict training and mastering various techniques and tactics.
Some schools and schools of European swordsmanship, such as the German long sword ("Langes Schwert") and the Italian sword ("La Scherma Italiana"), as well as swordsmanship from other countries, such as France, England, and Spain, have their own characteristics and techniques.
The skills of swordsmanship include the grip, movements, and techniques of the sword, as well as its application in combat. Swordsmanship techniques include attack and defense actions such as stabbing, swinging, and chopping. In History of Europe, swordsmanship is an important martial art and fighting skill, and it is also one of the symbols of the noble class.
However, over time, with the invention and use of firearms, swordsmanship gradually lost its practical application value in warfare. Nevertheless, the traditions and techniques of European swordsmanship still exist and are considered a historical and cultural heritage and a sport in modern times.
However, in the Ivy League of Harvard University, there is still the Sword Society club, which has a very long history, almost as long as this school, but not everyone can join this club.
To join a swordsmanship club, you must pay an expensive fee and prove that you were born into a long history of nobility or a prestigious family.
Helen was not born into a large family, and her parents were only archaeologists and housewives. She also had two older brothers, one sister, and one younger brother. She was just a member of the Miller family.
But Helen is not an ordinary person either. She became a member of the Ivy League Harvard with outstanding grades and joined the swordsmanship club due to her outstanding swordsmanship talent.
"Why? Other girls are attending dances and making boyfriends, and I'm fighting like a clumsy guy with a sword."
On the fencing field, Helen blocked the coach's attack with the Knightly sword, gasped and shouted.
Dang!!
With the Knightly sword attacking, Helen felt her chest was stuffy and she rolled to resist the impact.
"You have the best talent, Helen. "Daxid put away his weapon and pulled Helen up from the ground.
He is a respected gentleman, as well as a professor at this university and the president of the Fencing Society.
At the beginning, he strongly invited Helen to join the swordsmanship club.
Helen resumed her attacking posture and sneered, "You should have said such things to many people, Professor."
After saying that, she strode forward and slashed the Knightly sword to the other side's shoulder.
Daxid easily blocked this sword, and the sword in his hand stabbed Helen's wrist like a venomous snake, making it difficult for her to dodge.
Helen quickly moved her steps, using the space around her to swim, occasionally striking a sharp sword.
"Look!" Daxid waved the Knightly sword and sighed, "Your swordsmanship is so excellent that it's hard to imagine that you have only learned for a year. You are unique. Believe me, you will become a powerful swordsman."
The two swords collided again and quickly intertwined.
Helen felt the sweat running down her body and a lot of physical exertion. She said, "Swordsman, is there such a profession in modern society? Moreover, the boys in the community learn swordsmanship to attract girls, and I am the girl."
Daxid complained, "Don't mention those jerks, they can't be compared to you at all. And who says swordsmanship is useless, you will become an excellent swordsman, and there will be many opportunities waiting for you."
My ideal is to become a scholar, professor. "Helen once again struggled to resist the opponent's attack and took the opportunity to distance herself from them, panting heavily." Due to the emergence of firearms, the original swordsmanship has declined, and I don't want to become the inheritor of historical and cultural heritage
"But you didn't have a choice, Helen! "Daxid smiled with a demonic smile that belonged solely to the aristocracy." As your mentor, I have the right to decide when you graduate, and the last thing I ask of you is to successfully defeat me."
Daxid made a fierce sword strike, sweeping Helen far away, and then gracefully placed the sword on the nearby sword rack. "Today's lesson is over, child, remember to continue practicing tomorrow."
"You are devil! "Helen raised her middle finger.
"Thank you for your praise! "Daxid bowed very gentlemanly and left with a smile.
It was not until half an hour later that Helen slightly alleviated her muscle pain and left the training ground wearing a bag with a Knightly sword on her back.
"Hi, Helen."
At this moment, when most students were completing club activities and leaving, a voice rang from behind Helen.
"Hi, Jane."
The person who came was Jane, Helen's best friend, a young black girl who greeted Helen cheerfully and received a weak response from Helen.
"Professor Daxid is starting his demonic training again? "Jane is clearly aware of her friend's distress.
Helen nodded.
"I think you should report to the school authorities, maybe there will be a change, "Jane said hesitantly, looking into her friend's eyes.
Helen hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No! Jane, I think Professor Daxid is for my good."
Jane said, "It's up to you, Helen. There's a party at Andrew's tonight. Will you join? Everyone is looking forward to your arrival."
Helen is a very beautiful girl with shining golden long hair, like sunlight pouring down. Her eyes are bright and clear, like two blue gemstones, revealing a hint of warmth and wisdom. Her skin is fair and smooth, like the soft touch of snow, emitting a radiance of health and life.
Her appearance is delicate and beautiful, and her facial features are regular and gentle. Her lips were red and plump, and a slightly upward smile often adorned her face, bringing a warm and joyful feeling. Her eyebrows are slender and elegant, slightly raised, displaying a playful expression.
She has a tall and slender figure, exuding a confident charm, and her every move attracts the attention of the boys around her.
However, Helen always comes and goes alone, either in the library or at the swordsmanship club. Apart from Jane, she has no other friends and never participates in parties organized by her classmates.
Sure enough, Helen still refused this time, "Thank you, Jane, but tomorrow is the weekend and I need to go home to see my family."
"Okay, Helen! "Jane wasn't surprised by her friend's choice," So have a nice weekend."
"Have a nice weekend."
