Chapter 25: The Tin Knight and The Lions Bloodline (8)
Adelaide von Lennart had almost no real combat experience.
She did receive basic training as a member of the Lion Duke’s bloodline, but she never applied herself enthusiastically, and those around her didn’t scold her for it either.
After all, if there were to be an heir to continue the family line, it would undoubtedly be Adelaide’s older brother, and since she was expected to marry into another household anyway, there was no need for Adelaide’s personal combat skills to be exceptional.
Therefore, Adelaide was ignorant about combat.
She had some knowledge from occasionally observing others train, but it was only superficial at best—nowhere near professional even as a polite lie.
She was a canvas untouched by anything. Clean, and pristine in all manners. It was on this pure white canvas that the Tin Knight etched his indelible mark.
The Tin Knight’s teachings were divided into just two parts:
Physical conditioning and one-on-one sparring.
Through these sparring sessions, Adelaide was able to learn various “common sense of combat” that she had never been taught prior.
[Common Sense of Combat First]
[Attacks should always be continuous—counterattacks are not made after the opponent’s attack ends but are wedged in the gaps of combat.]
