Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination Chapter 71: The Way of the Sword

Chapter 71: The Way of the Sword

All students were taught sword techniques no matter those who were already proficient or those who were new to using swords, even if it was just a practice sword made of wood.
Step by step and swing by swing, posture, stance, attack with defense techniques, many things were taught until the time for the mock battle between students at the end of the class arrived.
But before that, there was a short pause to rest. The students in small groups with their close friends while waiting for the mock battle to arrive, they discussed something while gossiping but some of them glanced occasionally at Elysia who was lightly chatting.
"Look at that, you were so good at swinging your sword earlier, Eve." Elysia clapped her hands lightly with joy. She just learned the correct sword technique this time, and her brain had been observing and recording everything the instructor taught very well.
"That was to be expected, I was trained in the swordsmanship in the castle by several instructors and knights. Hum, but they didn't teach me magic with fear of the dangers of deviation energy and repercussions." Evelyn smiled proudly, she likes to be complimented by people who care about her and not just anyone.
"But it's so amazing, this is the first time for me to hold a wooden practice sword. This sword is heavy enough to be considered a real sword." Joanna raised her sword as if estimating its weight.
"Yes, me too. I'm still a beginner." Lana nodded profusely.
"I once wielded a real sword while helping my father tidy up the warehouse. It was heavy and big, as big as a large sword could be." Betty pointed at the array of real swords the students had not touched.
"Em, want to try holding a real sword? That's reserved for experience, right?" Maggie tilted her head.
"Un, maybe right. Let's try it." Evelyn nodded in agreement as she stood up to approach the real sword rack, followed by four curious girls.
Elysia turned towards the teacher for a moment and saw Instructor Dillon standing holding a practice sword thrust into the ground looking at the five girls who were approaching the racks of real swords but said nothing.
Feeling that it was allowed, Elysia also approached real swords of various shapes and sizes, especially the biggest one.
"Hush... This is specifically a sword rack for men. Greatswords are made especially for men, not women. Swords specifically for women are there and universal ones are there." A large student appeared beside the curious Elysia.
"Oh, is that so? Sorry, I just found out about that. Thanks for reminding me."
Elysia nodded and changed direction to the female-only sword which was surrounded by five curious girls and then several other students also started trying to wield the real sword.
The male student who initially thought he could exchange words with Elysia became awkward as the girl just nodded and left.
"Ely, look at this sword. It's so light and flexible. It's called a rapier." Evelyn raised a sword and handed it to Elysia who was approaching her.
Elysia took the rapier and swung it lightly after making sure no one would be hit from the swing.
"It's too light. The rapier was used with a stabbing technique. The damage was not great."
"Erm. How about this gladius? Or this long sword? Or maybe this claymore?" Evelyn pointed out one by one the swords on the sword rack cheerfully and let Elysia who didn't know about swords broaden her horizons by trying them one by one.
"Well... I haven't found the right weapon for me. How about you, Eve? What kind of sword do you usually use?" Elysia shook her head after trying to swing several types of swords.
"I usually use a short sword like this."
Elysia received the forty-centimeter short sword that Evelyn took from the sword rack and swung it down like any other curious girl.
"En, great but I don't know what to say. Looks like I'm not suited for the sword." Elysia shook her head slightly.
"What do you mean by the unsuitable sword, girl?" Instructor Dillon suddenly appeared beside Elysia, his appearance surprised the two girls who were talking.
"You startled me, Instructor Dillon. It's hard for me to explain, but I haven't found the right sword to hold."
"It's normal for someone who hasn't found their sword path. They need to try all kinds of swords and try to understand them one by one until you find what suits you in the sword." Instructor Dillon explained and listened to by all the students who stopped playing real swords for a moment.
"Once you have found it and learned the way of your sword, you need to increase your abilities to a level where you are no longer confused about what sword you are holding. You no longer try to understand the sword but the sword will understand you."
He then took out a real sword without selecting it from the sword rack and then grasped it without even looking.
"Let me show you the so-called Enhancement Magic for reference only. You will learn it after you succeed in the magic class at the elementary level. The sword is not only the weapon you hold to attack but the part of you that you use to attack. Look carefully! Behemoth Slash!"
Instructor Dillon immediately swung the sword he was holding after explaining what he had learned in the sword.
* Slash! *
The long sword flared with dark green energy and made a loud slashing sound. The energy blade sharply sliced ??through even the ground in its path and stopped after about ten meters. The cut on the ground proved the sharpness and danger of that one sword swing.
"It's Enhancement Magic, magic that is used to strengthen the abilities of an item while Reinforcement Magic is magic to increase your body's abilities. Well, the rest time is up. Now return the real sword to the sword rack and return to the center of the field."
Instructor Dillon put the sword he was holding back onto the sword rack and returned to the center of the field. The students also immediately returned the real swords to their place and gathered back to the center of the field.
Elysia saw the male students were so excited for some reason that she didn't know but some of them glanced at Evelyn or Serena and often at her.
"Eve, why do the male students look so excited? Is there a reward in this mock battle? Instructor Dillon hasn't said anything though?" Elysia whispered to the girl next to her as they returned to the center of the field.
"Hmm... I don't really know either, we'll ask our informant when the mock battle begins."
Evelyn looked at Joanna behind her but she didn't dare to ask when Instructor Dillon was waiting for the students to gather in the center of the field.
