Chapter 74: The instructor of the practical class is a muscular expert! (2)
"It may be possible to talk about duels between nobles, but once you are on the battlefield, no one will tell you about morality, ethics, etiquette, or other nonsense. No matter whether the enemy is human or monster, the other party is also risking his life when fighting, and will definitely take the most effective way to win and survive.
And for a puppeteer, the biggest weakness is himself."
Webster continued.
"So my combat training class will prioritize strengthening the puppeteer's own qualities. The techniques of using puppets to fight will come after that.
If you have any objections to this educational policy, you can go to Mr. Morgan to discuss it. Although he is an instructor of alchemy science, he is also responsible for some practical courses.
If Mr. Morgan is willing to accept your application and agree that you can take classes with the senior students he is teaching, I will also check in for you and issue credits according to the regulations. "
Seeing that no student openly contradicted him again, Webster smiled generously with his teeth showing.
"Since everyone has no objection, let's start by running around the training ground. Boys, 30 laps, girls, 25 laps. You are not allowed to use any magic during the run."
After hearing these words, many students' faces turned pale.
The first training ground used for classes is not small in size. One lap is at least seven or eight hundred meters.
A long-distance run of about 20 kilometers may not be a big deal for people who exercise regularly.
But for some young masters and young ladies who never go out and are spoiled at home, this can cost them their lives.
The students in Hera and Brunhild's class did not take immediate action after hearing Webster's words. Instead, they looked around hesitantly, expecting someone to say something.
Alfred felt that if this continued, it would definitely be troublesome.
So, without saying anything, he just started jogging around the training ground.
When the students in Noren's class saw him do this, they said nothing and silently followed him and started jogging.
After seeing the actions of the seven people from Noren's class, the students from Hraban and Brunhild's class also ran away reluctantly.
"Al, why are you so positive?"
Leonard ran beside Alfred and asked in confusion.
"Eh? I just find it troublesome... and there are benefits too."
Alfred thought of something interesting and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
"benefit?"
Leonard asked in confusion.
"Come closer and I'll tell you in a low voice."
"What? You're being so mysterious..."
Leonard was a little suspicious of Alfrid, but he still came over obediently.
"Let me tell you, exercises like running that train leg muscles can enhance a man's charm and also improve his abilities in that area."
"Varied?!…………"
Leonard was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a moment. o(?Д?)っ！ ！
"It's true."
(I guess so.)
Alfred secretly added the second half of the sentence in his mind.
"But, it's definitely not something that can be spread out. I understand. I will do my best!"
Leonard, who originally had a very negative attitude, suddenly became full of energy and even sped up to surpass Alfred.
(Ah~ adolescent boys are really easy to understand… I wonder if I had a similar period in the past. It’s good that I can’t remember it. If I recall it, I will feel embarrassed.)
Watching Leonard running away, Alfred chuckled in his heart.
He was deliberately provoking Leonard so that he could take advantage of this opportunity to exercise well.
reason?
Of course, I am not worrying about Leonard's future happy life.
Unlike Alfred, although Leonard was born into a Rockefeller Marquis family, he ranked very low among his siblings and had almost no chance of inheriting the family business in the future.
In the future, when Leonard's father passes away or abdicates, allowing Leonard's brother to inherit the family business, Leonard will most likely have to leave the Rockefeller family.
If the sons of nobles wanted to gain independence and accumulate enough merits to establish a branch family, they would mostly join the army and become knights.
For the sake of the future, Alfred felt that Leonard should really take advantage of now to train himself well.
"So, Al, Elect, what did you say to that Rockefeller (Reynard) guy? Why did he suddenly become so motivated when he was originally reluctant?"
Liliana asked as she ran up to Alfred from behind.
"This is a secret between boys. I'm sorry I can't tell you, Lily."
"Secrets? They must be some obscene topics anyway."
Liliana glanced at Alfred with some disgust and put some distance between them.
"Who knows."
"Humph, you were able to win that duel by sheer luck. I didn't see you being that powerful."
Brady, who was running up from behind, interrupted the conversation between the two and challenged Alfred with a contemptuous tone.
Alfred was somewhat confused by Brady's inexplicable hostility.
"Who knows, maybe I'm just really lucky."
However, he just chuckled and ignored the other party's provocation.
"A guy like you doesn't deserve to be in the Puppet Master Academy."
Because Alfred's reaction was not as indignant as he expected, but rather frivolous.
Brady yelled even more angrily.
(What on earth is going on with this guy? I feel a little annoyed.)
Alfred sighed in annoyance and decided to play a prank on Brady as a response to his deliberate picking on him.
"It's not up to you, Ulysses, to decide whether you are qualified or not, right?"
He said with a joking smile.
"Or, Brady, you have already reached the pinnacle of puppeteers and are capable and qualified to comment on how to judge a puppeteer's qualifications?"
"You, you bastard..."
Brady was unable to refute Alfred's remarks for a moment, and his face was full of anger and humiliation.
"Also, you seem to have misunderstood something just now."
Alfred turned around and looked at Brady while running backwards.
He was clearly running backwards, but his speed was no slower than before, and he did not feel any effort or strain at all.
I'm not seriously competing with you at all. Don't think you can be arrogant just because you can keep up with my speed.
Although Brady was stupid, he was not too dumb. He seemed to understand what Alfred wanted to express. He gritted his teeth angrily and sprinted forward with all his strength without thinking.
