Chapter 6 Visiting the Academy
Although I didn’t go to bed late last night, Alvin still came to the training ground on time: it is urgent to improve his strength!
After finishing strength training, Alvin picked up the training sword and practiced against the dummy as usual. Under Captain Murphy's guidance, Alvin paid more attention to the details during training!
Just as Alvin was training hard against the dummy, Captain Murphy also walked into the training ground. As soon as he came, he saw Alvin there. When Alvin had not come, he was always the first to come to the training ground. After Alvin came, he became the second to come.
But today he interrupted Alvin's training: "I won't practice this today, Alvin, you need to learn to go further!"
"But I can't wave that warhammer freely!" Alvin pointed at the crystal warhammer on the ground with his sword, and it was still lying tightly on the training ground.
Captain Murphy smiled and said, "You are already qualified, but you don't have confidence in yourself: Have you tried using this warhammer?"
"This, there is no..." Alvin answered truthfully.
"Try Alvin, I think you can!" Murphy encouraged Alvin.
Putting the wooden sword in his hand back on the sword rack, Alvin slowly approached the war hammer on the ground, and the cloth strips on the hammer handle fluttered slightly with the morning breeze.
Alvin slowly held the hammer handle and moved his strength all over his body. He saw that the hammer was slowly pulled out of the ground by Alvin, bringing out a piece of soil.
In the end, Alvin lifted the warhammer in his hand: "It's heavier than I thought, but it's still within the scope of the endurance!"
After getting familiar with the hammer in his hand, Alvin tried to wield the hammer. He was used to using the sword and was not very easy to ask Captain Murphy: "There is an old saying in my hometown that is one inch long and one inch strong: it means that the length of a weapon plays an important role in combat."
"How can this warhammer be comparable to a long sword?"
"If you can summarize such an incisive philosophy, there must be many masters in your hometown! Your questions make sense, and the solution to this problem is what I will give to you next, about the meditation and application of the Holy Light!"
"Meditation resonates with the holy light, store the power of the holy light in your body, and use different holy seals to enhance your abilities according to the needs of the battle. This is the combat technique that the priests rely on for survival."
After a pause, Captain Murphy added: "For you, the first thing you need to do is to meditate to actively communicate with the Holy Light!"
Alvin asked, “So how to meditate and how to communicate?”
"It's very simple. Open your heart and let the light illuminate your beliefs!" Murphy smiled and said, "Meditation is not suitable for training ground. Today I will give you a day off. You meditate at home and understand what I say!"
Of course, Alvin also wanted to master the power of the holy light as soon as possible, so he naturally agreed.
Back at home, Alvin lay on the bed, recalling what Captain Murphy said: Open your heart...
After a while, Alvin suddenly sat up: He was almost asleep when he lay down, and he didn't feel the damn holy light!
Of course, Alvin would not give up like that. He curled up his legs and put his hands on his knees, meditating like a Taoist priest: the so-called three flowers gathering the top and the five energys facing the Yuan, this posture may be more conducive to gathering the holy light!
After sitting around for a whole morning and trying various positions, Alvin still couldn't sense the holy light. In desperation, Alvin could only look for Murphy's help.
"What? Haven't you sensed the Holy Light yet?" Captain Murphy seemed very surprised. He thought that with Alvin's ability, he should be the darling of the Holy Light, and he could complete this first step at will!
"But this is true, I can't sense the existence of the holy light..." Alvin felt very tired.
"I'm sorry, but among the Arida people, even the most mediocre Arida can sense the existence of the holy light in the morning. I think this may be because you are a foreigner."
Alvin was a little upset: "Does it take me longer to get the recognition of the Holy Light?"
Captain Murphy touched the fence: "It's just possible, I'm not very sure."
In the next few days, Alvin asked for leave, and because of the Moon Shadow Valley, other affairs in the village have basically stopped, so Captain Murphy simply took the garrison and reserve team to leave for vacation: Minara told him that the support force in the academy might not be available for a while.
...
On the last day of the holiday, Alvin lay motionless on the bed, his eyes filled with blood: he still couldn't feel the damn holy light!!
Even though humans can choose Paladins as professions, I am also a human being... Alvin was a little broken. He worked hard for so long but got stuck at the most basic level.
Maybe I have no chance with the Holy Light! Alvin can only think so.
At noon the next day, Captain Murphy gathered the garrison and the reserve team at the training ground, and the support forces sent by the Academy are about to arrive today.
Looking at Alvin's red eyes, Murphy asked in a low voice: "Can't you still be able to sense it?"
Alvin nodded: "Maybe the Holy Light doesn't favor me."
Murphy could only continue to encourage him: "Don't be discouraged. Today the Academy sent two teachers and four priests. I can beg them to show you. Maybe my teaching method is not suitable for you."
Alvin actually no longer had hope, but he nodded slightly when he looked at Murphy's sincere gaze.
In order to welcome guests from afar, Captain Murphy decided to let everyone wear formal combat costumes.
Alvin stood in the team and looked down at the whole set of suits on his body: the set itself was made of thick yellow fabric, the outer layer was reinforced by unknown metal materials and crystals, and at the same time, an additional crystal guard was added to each joint and fatal area; he was wearing thick boots under his feet, with a thin metal leather covering the surface of his feet, while the bottom was relatively simple, with only metal knee pads installed at the knees.
Holding his helmet in his arms, Alvin was waiting bored on the training ground. Just as he was thinking about when the person would come, a priest under Minara ran over: "Prince Minara asked me to inform Captain Murphy that six people had come from the north of the village. She probably came from the Mysterious Academy to support us!"
Captain Murphy turned around and shouted: "All of all, gather and set out to the entrance of the village to the north to welcome the visitors from the Mysterious Academy!"
So the group set out to the north of the village. On the way, Alvin ran to the front of the team with the crowd and asked Captain Murphy quietly: "" Can you take a picture of six people here in the next school?"
The captain smiled and said, "The Secret Academy brings together all the outstanding Erida talents from Argus. Don't underestimate these six people. Those who can be sent by the Academy to perform tasks are the kind of people selected from thousands!"
Hearing Captain Murphy's affirmation, Alvin was no longer worried, but he became more curious about the people sent by the academy!
Speaking of the Mysterious Academy, Alvin still has a rough understanding of it: First of all, the first founder of the Academy was Sazier. In the version of the World of Warcraft Legion, the magic weapon of the magician is Sazier's head. The story can be said to be quite exciting!
In addition to Sazier, the Mysterious Academy is also full of talents: the current president of the Academy is Archimund, one of the two giants of the Burning Legion in the future, and among the three students of Archimund, Garasum, Verala and Argon, another name of Garasum is even more familiar: it is the well-known King Garasum in the game...
In short, the Arida civilization is at its peak of development today. Otherwise, as the noble Titan Sagelas would not have seen this planet and then had the idea of incorporating Arida into the Burning Legion!
