Seeing that Elodie didn't seem to know how to implement the suggestion he just made, Qingden pondered for a moment:

"Well... let's see, Miss Angoulême, imagine that you are standing on a very soft beach. If you step on it lightly, your whole body will sink into it."

"Just imagine this - because the sand is too soft, your toes and soles cannot grip the ground so hard. If you use too much force, your feet will sink deeper and deeper into the beach."

"According to this imagination, slowly relax the muscles on your feet."

Elodie, who had absorbed every word and sentence of Qingdeng's words very seriously, nodded slightly as if she didn't understand, then closed her eyes, followed Qingdeng's suggestion, and imagined that she was standing in a field.

On the soft beach, relax the muscles of your toes and soles according to your own understanding.

Qingden was not in a hurry. He put the scabbard in his hand on the ground and waited quietly for Elodie to finish preparing.

It was at this moment that Qingdeng suddenly couldn't help but laugh - he suddenly discovered that because of his sudden instruction, this swordsmanship practice seemed to have turned into a swordsmanship instruction.

As his strength increases day by day, Qingdeng is no longer the unknown junior disciple in the imperial examination hall.

In terms of strength, he has long been one of the high-end combat forces of the Trial Guard Hall. Recently, he has been entrusted by Zhou Shu, Kondo and others from time to time to bring in newbies.

Senior brothers lead junior brothers, and the one with high strength brings the one with low strength - this can be regarded as a common practice in every sword hall.

Because he has been helping to guide the newcomers in the training hall recently, Qingdeng has developed a certain amount of teaching experience without even realizing it.

Just now, after seeing Elodie making such an obvious mistake, Qingden couldn't help but point her out on a whim.

Qingden waited quietly for about half a minute, and finally saw Elodie slowly opening her eyes.

"Mr. Orange." Elodie's eyes moved back and forth between her feet under her robe and Qingden's body opposite her, "How are you doing?"

The "how" Elodie said naturally meant whether her feet had successfully relaxed.

"Well... I can't tell just by looking at it like this." Qingden smiled lightly, then put the scabbard on the ground up again, "Come over to me."

"Have you relaxed your feet properly... You still have to see it in actual combat."

After hearing this, Elodie nodded solemnly, said "Okay" and then followed Qingden's instructions and raised the sword again.

As soon as she stepped forward again, she immediately let out a cry of surprise.

Because she discovered that her movements seemed to be faster than before!

Qingden, who still easily dodged Elodie's attack, slightly raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Well done. Compared with just now, it's a bit improved."

Elodie did not hear Qingden's compliment.

Because right now, she was lowering her head in disbelief, staring straight at her feet with her sky-blue eyes.

Looking at Elodie who looked astonished as if she had "discovered a new world", Qingden couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Compared with just now, Elodie's feet are indeed not as tight anymore, but there is still huge room for improvement.

If Qingden were to give a score...then Elodie's performance just now improved from 50 points to 55 points, which is still a long way from the perfect score.

However - even though the improvement is not huge, being able to make effective corrections to one's own movements after only listening to Qingto's simple advice once... This is quite an impressive thing.

Qingdeng couldn't help but thought to himself:

——This kid is quite talented...

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but look at the young girl opposite who was still in shock.

After about ten seconds, Elodie finally came back to her senses leisurely.

She raised her head and said excitedly to Qingdeng:

"Mr. Tachibana, your suggestion just now is so useful! I feel that my steps have become a little more agile!"

"It's not so much that my advice is useful, but that your understanding is better."

Qingdeng praised him heartily.

"I have also coached many people like you who cannot relax their feet."

"No matter how much I advise, guide, or even teach them step by step, they never get the key to relaxing their feet."

"There are not many people like you who can master the trick of relaxing your feet in such a short period of time."

Being praised so highly by Qingden... Elodie smiled sheepishly "hehe" a few times.

After expressing her inner joy with laughter, Elodie slowly stopped the smile and laughter on her face, then took a deep breath, spread her legs again and got into a good posture!

She has made progress... This makes Elodie particularly happy.

Her emotions were high due to excitement, and she couldn't wait to start sparring with Qingden and continue to test the results of her progress.

It's just that... Elodie's fighting spirit was interrupted by a female voice that suddenly sounded from behind her——

"Miss, don't play here! (French)"

The owner of this female voice...that is, Leroy, suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor behind Elodie.

After loudly signaling to Elodie not to play in the corridor, the maid who had just been cleaning in the kitchen quickly walked toward Elodie with her hands folded in front of her and expressionlessly.

Elodie instantly stiffened like a deflated rubber ball, then slowly put down the rapier in her hand, flattened her lips, and turned to look at Leroy.

Qingden didn't understand what Leroy was shouting just now.

But based on the current expressions of Leroy and Elodie... he could roughly guess that the maid was telling him and Elodie not to fight around here.

Ever since, when Elodie put down her stabbing sword, Qingden also put away the scabbard in his hand.

However, the moment Qingdeng put the scabbard of Ding Guishen back into his left waist... a sudden change occurred!

Qingdeng's body suddenly stiffened, and then his expression suddenly changed...

"Miss, what are you doing here? (French)" Leroy asked Elodie with his face covered after walking quickly to Elodie.

"I'm asking Mr. Tachibana to practice sword practice with me. (French)" Elodie replied.

Sword training... Leroy's face changed slightly when she heard this word, but she quickly covered up this small mood swing and returned to her expressionless look.

"Miss, you ask Mr. Orange to practice swordplay with you. I have no objection, but you can't practice here in the corridor. If the master sees it, he will definitely scold you again. (French)"

"I know." Elodie stuck out her tongue at Leroy playfully, "Then I will take Mr. Tachibana to the yard to practice sword practice. (French)"

"Miss, you'd better not think about sword practice now." Leroy said calmly, "It's almost time for class. Mr. Gerald should be here soon. Miss, you'd better put your sword first." Put away your rapier and get ready for get out of class. (French)"

This time, Elodie's expression changed slightly: "Is it already this time? (French)"

Leroy nodded slightly: "It's almost 10 o'clock in the morning. (French)"

As he spoke, Leroy took out a pocket watch from the back of his apron and showed the dial to Elodie.

Looking at the time displayed on the dial, Elodie's body seemed to have collapsed, and her stature seemed to be a little shorter.

"I know...(French)" Elodie pouted her red lips.

Elodie sighed heavily with an unhappy expression, and then switched her language mode back to Japanese.

"Mr. Tachibana, I'm sorry...huh? Mr. Tachibana, what's wrong with you?" Elodie, who looked towards Qingden, finally noticed that Qingden's expression was very strange.

Qingden, who was startled by Elodie's voice, trembled a few times, then stammered and asked, "Ah? Ang, Miss Angoulême, what's the matter?"

Elodie frowned slightly and cast a worried look at Qingden.

"Mr. Tachibana, what's wrong with you? Your expression looked terrible just now... Are you feeling unwell?"

"Oh, oh, it's okay, it's okay." Qingdeng tried his best to force out a natural smile, "I just... had a slight stomach discomfort just now. It's much better now."

The talent Aonto copied from the younger brother of the pair of "red-faced brothers": "Trickster" came into play at this time!

When Qingden lied that he just had a stomachache, his face did not turn red and his heart did not beat. No matter his expression or tone, there was nothing strange about him, and he successfully frightened Elodie.

"So that's it..." Elodie showed a relieved expression, "If you feel uncomfortable in any way, feel free to tell us. We have a lot of medicines here."

"Yes." Qingdeng, who wanted to quickly get rid of the current topic, nodded hurriedly, "Thank you for your concern."

Qingden, who successfully deceived Elodie, took a deep breath, and then returned his consciousness to the personal system interface that was now emerging in his mind.

【Name: Tachibana Aoden】(?)

[Talents currently possessed:]

[Night vision, the talent of the sword, the god of sleep, the lone brave, the eagle eye, the left-handed, the strong body, the skillful hands, the strong tongue, the iron waist, the steel bones, the strong muscles, the cat turns around, the photographic memory, the ghost's heart,

Milk, leading the way, seeing through, beautiful hair, trickster, perceiver of the wind, the Eight Banners of Invincibility, plump breasts]

Successfully copied the talent from Elodie.

Just now, when he and Elodie put down their weapons, the system determined that the battle between the two was over.

Immediately afterwards, a system sound indicating that the talent was successfully copied flashed quickly in Qingdeng's mind.

The "Big Breasts" currently at the bottom of the list is the talent copied from Elodie.

Copied to talent...this should be something worth celebrating.

But Qingdeng is not happy at all now.

Staring at the entry of "plump breasts" in the talent list, the more Qingden looked at it, the more complicated the expression on his face became.

The reason for this... is all because this entry is the same as the talent "milk" that Qingnobo copied from Kinoshita Mai before, and the color is dark gray that "cannot take effect"...
