"Listen! If you want to gain great power! You must exercise with your heart!"
Mailer stepped in front of those who had managed to collect themselves and were barely able to assume the military position, his face as cold as ice.
"The first thing is not to rely on your abilities! You should learn to fight like a normal person!"
But then his words caused dissatisfaction among the crowd, not relying on their own abilities and fighting like a normal person? What is the difference between a gifted person and an ordinary person? Some people soon protested, and wanted Mailer to give a reason.
"This soldier! We are gifted warriors, if you want us to be like those damned ordinary people wielding swords and rushing up to chop and slash, then what's the difference between us and them?"
"Difference?"
Mailer frowned.
"The difference is that you survived! He died!"
"But ..."
Maybe because of the reason that Miele said too directly, actually blocked the mouth of the questioner at once. This is no wonder, San Marino empire for gifted warrior training has long become a set of systems, and the army although said to be gifted for the top, but they are still soldiers, soldiers are precisely to obey the orders for the vocation. But these bandits are different, they are not soldiers, and have not received any strict training. So in this case, it was still a mess. Seeing the discontent of all the people, Miele snorted coldly and made a gesture.
"Brush!!!"
The magical soldiers who had been standing by watching drew their swords in unison, stopping the crowd's clamor in an instant.
Everyone was staring fearfully at the magical longswords that were emitting a faint glow, and couldn't help but swallow their mouths, what the hell is going on here?
"It seems that talking won't work for you guys."
Mailer said coldly, while removing his upper body armor and dropping his weapon. He reached out and pointed at the crowd.
"The one who yells the loudest! Get your ass out here! Use your powers all you want, I won't use any of mine, let's see which one of us is better!"
There was silence, and then a man, no weaker than Mailer, stepped out of the crowd, holding a sharp constructed longsword and striding over to Mailer. For a moment, he was actually on a par with Mailer.
Of course, that's just scratching the surface.
"Start!!!"
At the same time as Mailer gave the order, the man's muscles suddenly began to expand, and he roared with such force that his whole body began to expand like a balloon filled with air. Soon, his body slowly overtook Mailer's, but even so, the man still couldn't avoid the heavy punch that hit his face like a meteor. He screamed in surprise, and his body began to shrink like a balloon, but when he fell to the ground, Mailer, as if he hadn't had enough, rushed over to the unlucky man, who hadn't even had time to get up and hit him in the face.
"With your stupid powers! What do you want to do? What can you do! What's so great about your power? I'll beat you with one hand and your father won't even recognize you!"
"This, this is unfair ... OW!!!"
The man struggled to say more than half a word before Mailer's iron fist shoved him back in.
"No fair! Your old man tells you fair! The enemy is telling you fair! What idiot would stay there and let you slash while you gather your powers!"
"Okay, okay, Mailer ..."
Jared laughed bitterly and came over to stop Mailer's inhumane behavior of beating people to death. So the poor guy who was beaten like a pig's head finally had a chance to escape from Mailer's iron fist, and escaped back to the team with a groan. But now no one dared to talk as much as they had earlier, Mailer's fists were there, and he had handled the strongest of the men like a chicken, so it wasn't a bad idea to listen to what he had to say.
"Lord Jared, please don't stop me."
Seeing that it was Jared, Mailer did not dare to be as agitated as he was just now. Although in private, he did not have much goodwill towards this young man who only hangs out with women all day long (which is also true), it was only because of the Dragon Slayer's powerful name and the order of the Academy Council that made Mailer bow down to Jared. The army is a place of honor and rank. Although Jared was a Count, it was a title of nobility, and had no real bearing on the army itself.
But in the previous raid on the fortress, Mailer had realized just how powerful Jared and Caroline were.
When they rushed into the fortress, facing those dead or wounded enemies, Mailer even wondered if there was another magic assault team that he didn't know was here to assist them in the attack, it was completely impossible for two people to cause casualties. Originally, Mailer thought that it was Kylie, a magician, after all, magicians have a considerable role in mass damage. But those bodies on the sword wound is not to be ignored, and those soldiers' bodies, can not see any traces of magic damage.
Until that moment, Mailer finally understood, that young man how powerful, but also realized, that will not speak, but for the hygienic condition of the two-colored pupils of the girl even some people can not stand, is not just a young man beside a good-looking vase only. In the battle, Myler had taken the time to observe Caroline, but completely different from what he expected, Caroline did not have the kind of general young girl who faced the bloody scenes of fear and trembling weakness, nor the kind of fledgling brats of the kind of passionate, she just stood there, openly and calmly observed and watched their battle. This kind of strange feeling, even let Mailer mistakenly think that behind him is a general who has been through a hundred battles, is watching them from behind.
When Mailer finished cleaning up the battlefield and stepped out of the fortress, what he saw in front of him was even more astonishing, nearly a hundred armored mechs that had been turned into scrap metal became the absolute proof. As a matter of fact, even for his magic corps, it wasn't easy to wipe out these over a hundred armored mechs. The reserve army of orcs and waste warriors naturally didn't have this kind of strength, and the only possible way to do damage without magic was ...
"Lord Jared, I think it would be highly inappropriate to allow these men to rely on their abilities to fight."
Mailer said with a straight face, no longer daring to think of Jared as anything more than a nominal commander.
"I believe you know very well that the talents of the gifted are inherent, but they can't be furthered, whatever talent we have when we are born will remain the same when we become adults, it won't be as varied as the magic manipulated by a magician, and it won't be like the magical beasts that become stronger with age. For example, when I was a child, my talent was only able to send an adult flying. But even after all this time, my talent is still only capable of sending an adult flying. Talents are special, but they can't be improved upon, and if you rely on them alone, it's easy to lose your life on the battlefield!"
Mailer's words came out loud, obviously he didn't intend to refute Jared, but simply wanted to tell the bandits that just because they had the natural ability, they couldn't take over the whole world.
And the fact is true, even Jared and Caroline, their ability is the same as when they were young, and still the same when they grew up, not the slightest bit because of the age of the special changes. Perhaps this is where the gifted warriors are not as good as the magicians, after all, the magicians can get more powerful and varied power if they try their best to inquire the deep meaning and comprehension of the spirit of magic. A gifted warrior's powers will never be enhanced, no matter how much he examines himself. If a man can only conjure a small fireball as a child, he will still be able to do so as an adult, and even if he lives for a hundred or a thousand years, he will still only be able to conjure a small fireball.
Talent is not just a convenience.
Wheeler's words obviously caused a sensation among the people, in fact, as a gifted warrior, these people are used to relying on their own talent to act. Not the slightest feel that there is something wrong, and when Mailer said so, the people can not help but start to look at their own, then they seem to realize that things are indeed as Mailer said the general ...
"You're right about that."
Jared doesn't deny Mailer's opinion, but unfortunately he thinks the exact opposite of Mailer.
"But I think, since we have this kind of talent, as long as we can completely master it, if we work together well, we can also have a lot of power. After all, the talent is not like magic, will not be because of energy loss and limit the number of times to use ..." In view of their own behind are basically magicians, Jared did not have to continue, so as to avoid Kylie or Kula to come to find their "discuss discuss! ", before in the academy, he and Caroline has been Kylie's basic magic teaching to make the head dizzy.
"But..."
Jared didn't forget to add the proviso.
"Those who want to learn this way must have good resilience in order to do so . How about this ..."
With that said, Jared mused, then looked to the group of gifted warriors.
"Now's your chance. Anyone who wants to learn how to fight the way I'm talking about, come with me, and Caroline and I will give you a test. And those who want to learn Mailer's style of fighting, follow him. But I have to remind you first, if you don't pass my and Caroline's test, then Mr. Mailer will give you a punishment.... As for what kind of way, I think it's better to leave it in suspense."
There was a moment of silence.
There's nothing wrong with either method of fighting.
From the results, it's clear that Jared focuses more on the coordination and use of abilities, as well as the mastery of resilience. It's a difficult thing to do.
Mailer, on the other hand, chose to save his life by giving up his ability to use normal attacks as his primary attack, and using his natural talents as a secondary method, a rather grueling, but relatively easy, form of training.
Finally, they made a decision.
Almost most of the people chose Mailer's way, after all, what he said wasn't wrong, and not everyone was confident in their own resilience. What's more, the people in charge of the test were Jared and Caroline, facing two gifted aliens who had destroyed an entire city, the people asked themselves that there was no ability or qualification enough to pass their test.
Only three people chose Jared's training.
In addition to the young man Jared had first encountered in the Shade of Green, the female archer had chosen this path, and to Jared's surprise, Yuri's sister, Leila, was among them.
