Chapter 9

This is indeed the case! Camila shrugged, bringing her great sword with her, and approached Link. The two practiced the "true swordsmanship" together: "Actually, I think Master Galvin is quite impressive. At least among the knights we have seen, it seems none of them can wield such a large weapon as fluidly as he does!"

It was approximately twenty days later, on that particular night, when he noticed that Mentor Calvin had gotten up again while turning over in bed, attempting to sneak outside. This truly struck him as strange, for that day not only was it pouring rain, but there was also a howling wind, and the leaves were rustling wildly, creating a significant noise.

Link followed far behind, watching the tall figure of Mentor Calvin swiftly move through the shadows of the night and trees, disappearing into the dense forest

It is important to know that this is a place close to the peak of the Sunset Mountains

"Save wherever you can!" Link rubbed his hands, shook his feet, and stood up straight. He was no longer the Link who had arrived at the Sunset Mountains. Judging by the thickness of the stick in Master Galvin's hand, if it were the Link who had come to the Sunset Mountains, these two blows would likely have him lying in bed for quite a while, unable to get up. However, for the Link of now, these two strikes would only cause him a momentary discomfort.

On such a stormy night, for some reason, it always stirs up inexplicable emotions in people

Although Knight Link is a young man determined to become a great knight, and although the duty of a knight is to uphold justice, the territories that the empire encompasses are all lands that knights must protect, on this night, Knight Link still unconsciously thinks of that spring-like little town, the blacksmith shop that rings with the sound of clanging metal every day

resentment

Thus, Camila practiced even more diligently. A boy like him, honest and simple-minded, possesses such qualities; he always believes that what his mentor imparts to him is valuable, and regardless of the circumstances, he will earnestly engage in practice.

He looked at Camila and smiled awkwardly. Over the past few years, in pursuit of his plan to become a Galvin mentor, Camila had certainly endured her fair share of unjust hardships.

After quietly observing Mentor Calvin several times, he could no longer restrain himself and, ten days ago, followed closely behind Mentor Calvin, sneaking out.

However, "Camila," Link turned back to Camila and said, "I have discovered..."

The gentle moonlight shines into the small wooden cabin, indicating that it is yet another pleasant day

"No... nothing!" Link shook his head again and said, "Practice the sword, practice the sword!"

With a creak, it seemed as if Professor Calvin turned over in the room

Thus, Link sadly discovered that despite his strenuous efforts to resist, his life as a knight apprentice had unexpectedly become even more bleak than before

Will Little Old Dad still often sneak off to drink alcohol?

Although there are no high-level monsters lurking here, the dense forest is widespread. On a night with strong winds and heavy rain, while it should pose no danger to Mentor Galvin, it is undoubtedly a troublesome matter to venture out.

Today I only hit twice, and tomorrow Mentor Galvin will probably change his stick again, right? However..." Camila glanced at Mentor Galvin's small wooden cabin: "If the stick is changed to a longer one, won't it risk piercing through the roof?

Moreover, it is evident that Master Calvin is the kind of person who could digest a piece of iron; he is certainly not someone who would suffer from prolonged diarrhea!

The Academy of Bal has no knowledge of how the studies have progressed; the current Link Knight must be stronger than him by now

That is a concentrated outburst of resentment forged by the heavy hand of Master Calvin

Mentor Calvin shook his head, gently covered Link Clara with a blanket, then turned his head, swiftly pushed open the door, slipped out silently, and gently closed the door behind him

After a heated discussion, Mentor Calvin has clearly developed a strong immunity to the duet performances of Link and Camila. Although Camila's initially clumsy acting has gradually improved with the passage of time, it is now impossible to make her feign illness or injury. Even if she pretends to fall off a cliff or to be kidnapped by an unidentified mysterious person, Mentor Calvin continues to eat and sleep as if these two individuals are completely transparent. In an effort to attract Mentor Calvin's attention, the clumsy Camila has even come close to accidentally setting the small cabin on fire several times.

With a clear sound, he completed the final action of drawing and sheathing his sword. As before, he took out a potion of restoration and waited in front of Mentor Galvin's small cabin

Time has flown by, and it has been more than two years since they followed Mentor Calvin to the Sunset Garrison. Camila's physique has become more robust, with a broad chest and muscular arms, indicating that he has now grown into a strong young man

With a creak, Link stumbled out, stretching his body in a long yawn

Mentor Calvin turned over and suddenly sat up, moving as swiftly as a nimble beast, making not a sound at all

When Mentor Calvin becomes extreme, it is absolutely formidable; Link has long been deeply affected by it

"He uses books to beat people," Link exclaimed, "to say he is skilled is less accurate than to say he is abnormal"

Of course, more importantly, the thickened stick, especially the one in the hands of that old pervert, Mentor Calvin, when struck against a person, will undoubtedly cause more pain

Oh! Camila obediently turned her head and continued practicing his swordsmanship. He had always chosen to obey Link's words without a second thought, and he never had any doubts.

"Let's confirm it again in the evening," Link said, his eyes glimmering. "What if that perverted guy is just messing with me? We can't let Camila get punished again!"

Two brief cries of pain emanated from the small cabin of Mentor Calvin

Although it is said that the cost of recovery potions, a military supply, is much cheaper in the barracks of the Sunset Garrison compared to outside, for children like Link and Camila, who come from poor families, it is still considered a luxury.

Thus, he also discovered the immense secret of Mentor Calvin

Does Grandpa still occasionally cough?

However, hehe, I need to take a good look tonight. If this really is that guy's perverse hobby," Link said with a mischievous smile, "I refuse to believe that Knight Link can't land a big hit on that perverted guy!

That night, Link fell into a deep slumber, harboring a myriad of dreams.

Indeed, this approach is not without its benefits. At present, it is not only Link, who has made significant progress by closely observing every dodge of Mentor Galvin, but also Kamira, who has been coordinating with Link to perform various feints to attract Mentor Galvin's attention. For a period of time, Link was able to evade more than three out of every five strikes from Mentor Galvin. In order to avoid being accidentally struck by Link's large staff, Kamira has become much more agile than before.

At this moment, Link had not yet connected the unusual behavior of Mentor Galvin with the incident from twenty days ago. He merely regarded this peculiar action as material to weave countless absurd ideas in his mind. After all, the knightly life he envisioned would surely be filled with numerous bizarre demons waiting for Knight Link to conquer, just like the perverse Mentor Galvin.

Three people in the cabin were sleeping soundly as usual, and Camila was snoring very loudly.

In the absence of any reference point, Camila was unaware of how fast his action of drawing and sheathing the sword was. He only knew that he was currently drawing and sheathing the sword. Even his own ears could only hear a single sound, akin to a flash of light. If there were outsiders on the mountain, they might not be able to clearly see the entire action of drawing and sheathing the sword, but would only catch a glimpse of a white flash.

Under Camila's solemn assurance, Link had no choice but to explain it this way

"This time there were only two sounds, it seems that Mentor Galvin will have to change the wooden stick again tomorrow!" said Camila, standing outside the cabin under the twilight sun, to herself.

It can be said that Link's subsequent years as a knight apprentice were spent in a cycle of striking and being struck. Although Mentor Galvin initially expressed strong indignation and protest against the disrespectful actions of the two knight apprentices, this backlash was ultimately brutally suppressed in a vote of 1 to 2 after Link cited various past sayings and actions to refute him. Thus, Link and Camila, the two knight apprentices, may very well become the only two in knight history who could openly strike their mentor.

This is the secret he discovered more than two months ago

However, Link, who seemingly achieved victory, would soon realize in the years to come that offending his knight mentor as a knight apprentice would be an exceedingly painful matter; and when this knight mentor is a perverse old man full of imagination, the subsequent years of the knight apprentice can only be described as inhumane.

After being thoroughly tormented by Master Calvin several times, he has now become quite cautious when referring to Master Calvin as "the old fellow". Generally, he tends to be vague about it, as no matter how softly he speaks, it always seems to escape the notice of Master Calvin, who appears to have rabbit ears. Naturally, this has also developed into a bad habit for Link, causing him to speak unclearly.

Is he really so perverse as to enjoy taking walks in the mountains on nights like this

Link's voice suddenly lowered, and he looked back with lingering fear, sticking out his tongue

Especially each time when his body began to adapt to the blows from Master Galvin, Master Galvin would always timely change the club in his hand, consistently maintaining the daily strikes on Link to a level that, while not truly injuring his body, would absolutely provide him with sufficient pain

Because he misses home

Thus, he discovered the source of the problem

Therefore, after Link was awakened this time, he did not fall asleep again

The primary responsibility of the knight mentor is to instruct the knight apprentices, and in this peaceful era, aside from routine patrols, the Sunset Garrison has no other tasks to attend to. Therefore, Mentor Galvin's small cabin, located on the outskirts of the garrison, is seldom visited by anyone.

Not to mention - the picture - the book can be bolded, Link sighed deeply, picked up another great sword that belonged to him: "Moreover, this old guy is always quite remarkable. Just that stick he has in his hand now makes me seriously doubt how he can hold it with one hand and swing it as nimbly as before. I just can't figure it out, I really can't understand."

Initially, the great Calvinist mentor was indeed helpless regarding the actions of the two who struck him unexpectedly. However, even from the outset, when the Calvinist mentor was completely unprepared, Link's long-planned strike ultimately landed on the head of Camila, who was lying in front of the Calvinist mentor, pretending to have suddenly fallen ill.

However, the imagination of the great Master Calvin is always boundless. On the day after Link had proudly celebrated his significant progress, he walked into Master Calvin's room to undergo the daily stick test, only to be astonished to find that the stick in Master Calvin's hand had become unrecognizable. Not only had it thickened, but it had also lengthened. Even more shamelessly, when wielded by Master Calvin, it remained as swift and cunning as ever, penetrating every possible gap. In such a small room of the cabin, with each additional inch of the stick, it meant that Link's chances of evasion had significantly decreased.

His appearance is such that he could easily have ten grand performances in the restroom, if not more

The duration of this outing by Mentor Calvin is evidently too long

The moment he just closed the door, Link opened his eyes

He secretly chuckled twice, observing that Camila was still sound asleep. Imitating Mentor Calvin, he quietly pushed open the door and slipped out, following closely behind Mentor Calvin.

According to Little Old Dad, in a distant era, there was a legend about a type of person who would transform into a demon wolf on nights of a full moon. Could it be that I, as a Calvin mentor, am also such a being? Do I transform on stormy nights like this?

Link! Camila stepped forward and handed over the potion in her hand

However, after that night’s experience, Link remained vigilant while sleeping. Thus, during the subsequent occasions when Mentor Galvin stealthily left the room in the middle of the night, Link would wake up immediately.

Link, however, did not find it strange at all; he merely maintained a safe distance, closely following behind him

He discovered that this Calvinist mentor had a peculiar habit of getting out of bed every ten days at midnight, running outside regardless of whether it was clear or raining, and when the time came, the mentor would not be deterred by the weather.

It is late at night

The wind at the mountain top rustles the leaves in the valley.

He moved quietly and arrived at the bedside of Link and Camila. Camila's snoring grew louder, and in his sleep, Link smacked his lips and pushed away a section of the blanket.

"No need for this today," Link said as he pushed Kamira's hand away, bending down to pinch his thigh. "Today, those two hits landed on my left arm and right thigh. There's plenty of flesh, so it's nothing serious. This bottle of medicine is running low, so let's save it for tomorrow! Tomorrow... sigh, tomorrow..."

He originally thought that someone who could be as perverse as Teacher Calvin could not possibly be a normal person

He no longer shows even a trace of the frail youth he once was. Over the past two years, he has not only grown a full head taller, but under the relentless training of Mentor Calvin, Link has completely shed any signs of "frailty." Although his muscles do not bulge as prominently as those of Camila, they appear much firmer. His bare upper body glistens with a bronze sheen, exuding a sense of powerful beauty.

Ah!

However, Camila still feels that her movements are too slow, because in her eyes, at least Link's speed while practicing Master Galvin's "true swordsmanship" is noticeably much faster than hers.

The changes brought to Link over the course of more than two years are evidently greater than those experienced by Camila.

... ...

Originally, those knight apprentices had a fixed allocation of supplies, which they generally did not use up. However, who could have anticipated that Link would end up with such a perverse mentor as Galvin? Under the heavy hand of Mentor Galvin, the combined allocation for him and Camila was still far from sufficient to meet their consumption needs. Therefore, they were always compelled to painfully purchase additional supplies from other knight apprentices who had more recovery potions than they could possibly use.

What? Camila sheathed her sword and turned around

Fortunately, this fellow seems quite resilient, appearing to grow stronger with each blow. As Link observed Kamira's figure under the setting sun, he noticed that Kamira appeared to be significantly more robust than himself, which brought him a sense of quiet comfort.

Moreover, for reasons unknown, Camilla always remarked that she felt an unusual glimmer occasionally emanating from Link's eyes, which consistently imparted a strong sense of chill, even more intense than the feelings evoked by those knight apprentices who had trained in various martial arts when they unleashed their full energy. However, Link himself spent a considerable amount of time in the water without discovering anything, and thus had no choice but to give up.

When he discovered it for the first time, he was still half-asleep and did not pay much attention to it. He merely thought that Mentor Calvin might have had a stomachache in the middle of the night and went to the outdoor toilet to relieve himself. Thus, he naturally did not take it to heart and simply turned over and fell asleep.

Ah!

Thus, Link opened his eyes wide and remained awake until Mentor Galvin quietly pushed the door open and walked in
