Chapter 86: Encountering threats
"When you swing a weapon, you’re not just swinging the weapon in your hands, you’re using your entire body to either attack, defend, or counter." Ziggy was giving advice to the weapon users among the newbie group that he was training today.
They were in the second-floor forest area, in a camp that the association had secured a while ago, resting along with a few other association companies.
He wasn’t the only team captain present at this camp, there were others as well. However, the biggest crowd was present right where he was teaching right now.
"Using your entire body for each of the movements is the basics of weapon-wielding. Those of you who have reached the 3rd floor in the game might remember how the instructors on the 3rd floor teach you weapon usage, right?
We have to use the same things we used in the game— using the shoulder as a reinforcer, legs as the base, and the core as the bracher, we actually Use a weapon instead of just swinging it around."
Ziggy showed them a demonstration.
First, he showed them what a simple sword swing without the proper technique looked like.
He swung his sword and there was no particular reaction. The sword was swung and it cut through the air while making some sound.
Some people even found this interesting. However, he then changed his grip and held the sword from around the lower handle.
The grip looked a little loose compared to before, however, he had somehow changed his body position as well. Not all of them could figure out how this body position was different compared to the previous one, but those of a higher Rank could see the difference clearly.
He wasn’t just holding his sword anymore. He was wielding the sword here.
