Chapter 185: The Knight Begins Anew (2)
The Swordsmanship Department had been on an unexpected hiatus recently.
This break came shortly after the grand ball when the instructor abruptly decided to take leave.
Though the instructor’s words carried an air of foreboding, the students wisely chose to ignore it. Thinking too much about it would only lead to nightmares.
And so, the Swordsmanship Department found itself on a break. Yet...
Whuum!
Whoooom!
...strangely enough, every single cadet was present.
While the instructor was absent, the cadets had taken it upon themselves to gather in the training hall and train diligently. If one were to ask why they bothered coming to the academy during their break, the answer would be simple: they saw results.
Even just following the assignments given by the instructor led to noticeable growth. The satisfaction and thrill they felt made laziness impossible.
This was a period of rapid growth for them. They were living proof of the instructor’s envious remark: "Ah, youth grows so quickly."
Even the noble ladies, once called "chicks," had progressed significantly. They now knew how to execute basic joint locks and strikes, sparring among themselves and occasionally with stronger knight cadets.
