Chapter 94 HEMA Apprentice
Chen Ke was in a good mood and bought a pair of black leather shoes from Lester at a friendly price of 150 Lianbi. Since it was his first time wearing a suit, he also learned how to tie a tie.
Like the secret agents in Hollywood movies, he put the holster on his shirt, then put on a suit jacket, and inserted the PPQ45 under his armpit. The feeling of the suit and holster stretched on his body gave him the motivation to rush out at any time.
Of course, although Lester knew that Chen Ke was not an ordinary person, he did not know that Chen Ke could use the holy object.
When changing clothes, Chen Ke secretly put the holy object diamond into the inner pocket of his suit without letting Lester see it.
Because, in this world, most of the psychics who can use holy objects are people with official backgrounds, and illegal psychics are rare.
This Lester is probably not a serious ready-made clothing merchant, and he seems to be able to provide some "black jobs".
Chen Ke didn't want Lester to think that he was a member of the Administration, and he was too lazy to explain the source of his holy objects, so it was better to do less than more.
"I don't think you've ever worn a tie. Don't most policemen wear this?" Lester asked with a smile.
Chen Ke understood what Lester meant. He was trying to find out if he was from the county police or the administration.
"Policemen don't have eyes like mine." Chen Ke joked.
He neither denied nor admitted it, because he didn't know Lester's background.
"That's right. Your eyes remind me of my friend. If he's as cold as an iceberg, then you're like a volcano... I hope the gun in your holster is not just for show." Lester smiled with satisfaction.
"I'll pull the trigger when necessary, no matter who's on the other side." Chen Ke said.
"Does your trigger finger have a price?" Lester got to the point.
"Everything has a price." Chen Ke smiled.
Lester didn't continue talking. He had already gotten the answer he wanted.
Chen Ke didn't know what other businesses Lester had besides the clothing store, but he knew that he was already a potential "contact" of Lester.
Walking out of Zio suit shop, it was almost 5 o'clock. Lester kindly gave Chen Ke a big handbag for him to put his changed clothes in.
When he was stuffing his clothes, he saw the Golden Arthur flyer.
Now he was free... There was no news from Pihom yet, why not take a car to take a look?
In order to avoid a wasted trip, Chen Ke decided to make a phone call to ask about the details.
He dialed the first phone number on the flyer, and the other party answered the phone very quickly.
"Hello, this is the Golden Arthur HEMA Club." A female voice answered the phone.
"Hello, do you have a coach here to teach Meyer swordsmanship?" Chen Ke asked.
"Ah, of course, how much do you know about Meyer swordsmanship?" the other party asked.
"A little bit, Google level, I want to receive professional training, preferably to practice with high-level members. And one day participate in the competition..." Chen Ke wanted to laugh as he spoke.
"Then you have chosen the right place. We suggest you take some time to come. There are professional coaches who can communicate with you in depth. Please make an appointment!" The other party said happily.
"No problem, no problem, I'll come now. I'll probably be there in a while by car. Is the address on your flyer correct?" Chen Ke said.
"The club of Rolling Iron has been closed. I suggest you come to the club on Lafite Road." The other party said.
"Okay... I'll come right away." Chen Ke looked at the address on the flyer, hung up the phone, and then stood on the side of the road and stretched out his hand to stop a car.
There was no conversation along the way. The taxi took Chen Ke to Lafite Road, which he had never been to.
The car drove very fast and got on the viaduct in a while. I don't know if it was a psychological effect or a geographical reason. After leaving Rolling Iron, the sky seemed clearer.
Lafite Road is the business district of Opportunity City. Many spiritual companies gather there to build buildings, but compared with other cities in the United Federation, it is still slightly inferior.
Chen Ke did not forget to open his mobile phone to watch videos while driving, and memorized the four main positions of Meyer swordsmanship: roof style, ox style, plow style and fool style.
If these four positions can be mastered, and many basic half-cut and rotation movements are integrated, they will have strong lethality, but whether any technology can be mastered depends on the time invested in practice.
And the most effective practice is of course to practice with people in actual combat. This is also the reason why Chen Ke wants to join the HEMA club.
Watching the teaching in the video, Chen Ke followed the wrist rotation, trying to imitate their sword-wielding techniques, and constantly memorizing the connection between various movements and positions.
At this time, a line of small words appeared in the corner of his eyes:
"Introduction to Meyer Swordsmanship: 15%"
Chen Ke knew that his approach was not wrong. Learning starts with imitation. Just watching videos and imitating can increase from 1% to 15%.
Then, he continued to watch a few more videos, but the percentage stopped increasing.
It seems that the experience gained by watching videos alone is prioritized. If you want to really get started with a technique, you still have to take action.
Only by spending time and sweat can you achieve success, no matter what. It is just a fantasy to think that you can level up by meditating.
He believes that after joining the club and practicing with the members a few times, he will soon be able to acquire the basic level of this sword art.
The car drove into the Lafite Road area, and the style was completely different from that of the rolling iron. The tall buildings and the grand wide lanes on both sides of the street made him feel that this was what the United Federation should look like.
However, as a depressed city, the Opportunity City could not last more than a few blocks with such a luxurious street scene.
In the entire Opportunity City, perhaps all the resources were occupied by the spiritual enterprises in the dozen buildings just now, and the rest were the traditional industries. The prosperity was only three or five steps away, and the whole view was depressed.
The car stopped beside a busy avenue. Chen Ke paid the fare, got off the car, and watched the crowds coming and going on the street.
As the place with the most job opportunities in the city, the streets of the Lafite Road area are much more lively than those of the rolling iron. Of course, Chen Ke does not think that they are rich people, at most they are lucky workers.
There are several large department stores on the street. At the intersection, there is a large LCD screen on the front of a building, on which various advertisements are played.
The sound of intense pop music came from the street, and people walked past Chen Ke, talking and laughing, as if the depression a few blocks away had nothing to do with him.
Chen Ke followed the address on the flyer and walked to the Golden Arthur Lafite Road branch. Like the previous branch in the Rolling Iron District, it was opened on the top floor of a large department store: the 5th floor.
Before taking the elevator upstairs, Chen Ke also looked at the price level in this mall with interest. In fact, it was not as exaggerated as imagined. 100 Union Coins can buy a lot of things here.
The elevator door opened, and a fully armed buddy happened to be waiting for the elevator. He held a training sword wrapped in black cloth in his right hand and a head protector in his left hand.
Chen Ke knew that he was not wrong. He walked through the aisle and pushed open the glass door. Immediately, a sturdy man with a height of 1.9 meters came to greet him.
"Hello, buddy! Are you here... eh?" The man asked with a smile.
"I... came to learn Meyer swordsmanship." Chen Ke scratched the back of his head. He thought it would be a girl to greet him, but unexpectedly, it was a big guy.
"Ha! Then you've come to the right place, my friend! I'm the coach here. My colleague told me half an hour ago that a new person would come for consultation. Could it be you?!" The man clapped his hands.
"I think that should be me." Chen Ke said.
"They really should ask you to leave a phone number... Oh, come in quickly, I'll show you around our hall first. By the way, my name is Bridget, you can call me Abu." Bridget said as he led Chen Ke into the hall.
Under Bridget's guidance, Chen Ke and him wandered around the hall while listening to popular science about HEMA.
