Chapter 96 Your Name Is... Diana?

"I'm very happy to have a new member join. If you apply for a one-year membership at one time, there will be a discount, and you can get an extra 3 months of membership. I highly recommend you to apply for a one-year membership. Many new members apply for this." The blonde girl said.

One-year membership?

My life span is only 20 hours now. If I don't say next year, I don't know where I will be at this time tomorrow.

Chen Ke hesitated for a moment, forget it, one year is one year, and it's only 1,000 Union coins.

"Then apply for a one-year membership." Chen Ke smiled.

Bridge, who was standing aside, was also very happy. Chen Ke didn't know whether the coaches of the HEMA club earned commissions by attracting students to buy classes like the coaches of the gym.

Speaking of the gym, Chen Ke also applied for a card at a fitness club near his home before crossing over. The original intention was to increase muscle and reduce fat, and to appreciate the sporty beauties in the intervals between exercises.

However, reality always runs counter to people's good wishes.

Let alone beauties, unless it is a very high-end gym, it is difficult for you to meet the opposite sex in it. Most of them are thin monkeys with only 90 pounds and uncles who are fat as balls.

Of course, there are also big men with childlike faces who come to the gym to punch in every day.

And the coaches are also like salesmen, urging you to buy classes every day, constantly asking you to buy a whole set of private training courses, and using all kinds of nonsense such as "body fat", "red and white muscles", "you are actually in good shape" to fool you.

Once they find that they can't persuade you to buy classes, then this gym is equivalent to "no coach" for you, so have fun by yourself, young man!

Chen Ke took the membership card of Golden Arthur and looked at it carefully. Was the consumption just now a little impulsive? However, with the speed of making money in this world, not to mention 1,000 Lianbi, 10,000 Lianbi is a matter of minutes.

After all, it was work before, and here, it is robbery...

"Okay, do you have courses here? The most basic introductory courses or something like that." Chen Ke asked.

"Of course, Golden Arthur has the best HEMA coaches, not only the basic postures and steps, but also advanced movements..." Bridget talked nonstop.

"Uh... Is there an additional charge?" Chen Ke interrupted.

"Of course it's free, open to all students, anyone who wants to listen can come. We will also organize internal competitions, sword friends exchange meetings and so on..." Bridget said with a smile.

"Sounds good." Chen Ke smiled.

"It's still early now, don't you plan to get into the state quickly?" Bridget said.

"I don't even have my own clothes yet. This outfit is not suitable for exercise." Chen Ke spread his hands.

"We have ready-made ones. You can use ours at the beginning. It's not too late to buy your own equipment after you decide which sword to practice mainly." Bridget hugged his chest, as if tempting Chen Ke.

"Since you said so... then come on..." Chen Ke looked at his skill panel.

Meyer swordsmanship is still a little short of getting started. Judging from the speed of increasing to 35% just now, it may grow faster when getting started.

Chen Ke followed Bridge to the warehouse of the guild hall, where there were a bunch of entry-level protective gear and practice swords, and even small shields.

After walking around the warehouse, Bridge first sorted out a set of protective gear for him.

It was a complete set of dark blue full-body protective gear, including a fencing mask, a mask-reinforced jacket, a fencing jacket, a "lobster" heavy-duty hand guard, leggings, stockings and sneakers.

Chen Ke knew just by looking at it that it would be very hot to wear all of this, but fortunately the weather in the United Federation in March was still relatively cool, and the mall was also air-conditioned.

Now the only choice was the sword.

He picked up a two-handed long sword on the table by the wall. As a training sword, it was also made of iron, very thin, unopened, and rounded at the tip.

At the same time, he also saw a row of swift swords hanging on the shelf next to it. It was a weapon similar to a rapier with a semi-arc hand guard. Bridge said that kind of sword is generally used for singles.

Among the holy relics that Chen Ke currently possesses, there is a huge tower shield, a one-handed broadsword, and a two-handed greatsword.

Considering that the golden quality of Phalaris's ruthless rage is far more powerful than the igniting broadsword. Chen Ke decided that it would be more reliable to learn the two-handed greatsword.

With the help of Bridget, Chen Ke put on protective gear, hugged the mask and carried the sword to the training ground, attracting the attention of some new students. Bridget briefly introduced Chen Ke to everyone, and he waved his hand embarrassedly.

"Well, I'm going to teach you the most basic things now..." Bridget said, getting to the point, starting with the four main postures of HEMA, and pointing out the key points of various postures.

Since he had seen it several times in the video, Chen Ke got started very quickly, but the action of using the wrist to flip the sword body still needed more practice.

It is not an easy thing to switch smoothly between the four postures. According to Bridget's requirements, Chen Ke must unconsciously flow between these postures, rather than mechanically and consciously pose.

"You're a fast learner. Pay attention to your feet and don't mess up your steps. If your center of gravity is on your left foot, hold the front of the hilt with your right hand, and vice versa." Bridge instructed.

"How do you keep such a long thing close to your side and turn it around..." Chen Ke wondered while practicing.

"Focus, Chen Ke, when you change your stance, imagine that there is a real enemy in front of you, and you are about to attack from all directions..." Bridge said halfway, taking out a mobile phone from his pocket.

"Is this right?" Chen Ke changed his stance several times and asked.

"Sorry, Chen Ke, I suddenly have something to do... I have to go out immediately..." Bridge looked at the phone and said embarrassedly.

"Oh! That's such a coincidence!" Chen Ke was a little disappointed.

"I know it's hard for you to forgive, but believe me, I will double it when you come next time, but I have to go today, I'll ask an old member to practice with you." Bridge said, clapping his hands and greeting the woman before.

"Diana! Diana! Help me."

The woman named Diana was drinking water on the sidelines, her sword leaning against the wall, her mask on the stool, and looked at Chen Ke after hearing Bridge's voice.

"What's the matter Bridge?" Diana asked.

"Look, there's a new guy here, can you teach him?" Bridge said.

"That's your job, Xiaobu, you can do it yourself." Diana stretched out a finger and shook it.

"There's no way to reason with this!" Chen Ke spread his hands.

"I beg you, Diana, I have something to go out for." Bridge said.

"Okay, for the last time, Xiaobu, this is the last time." Diana sighed, picked up the sword and walked to the training ground.

"This is Chen Ke, he just joined us today, you, uh, be gentle." Bridge introduced the newcomer to Diana.

"This is Diana, she may be the most powerful female member here, you can definitely learn a lot from her!" Bridge said to Chen Ke.

After the introduction, Bridge hurriedly ran away from the gate.

The two looked at Bridge's back and sighed at the same time.

"It seems that he is really in a hurry." Diana said.

"You didn't bring a helmet." Chen Ke reminded.

"I don't need that, where have you learned it?" Diana asked bluntly.

"I just learned how to do four postures." Chen Ke shrugged.

"Well... enough to be beaten, start, newbie!" Diana sneered, holding the long sword tightly with both hands, pointing it at Chen Ke.

"Wow wow wow! I think you just want to hit me." Chen Ke took a few steps back.

"If you want to learn to beat someone, learn to be beaten first, so you can learn faster, take it, newbie!" After saying this, Diana took a step forward and attacked Chen Ke, holding the sword high with both hands and slashing at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke recognized that it was a roof-style vertical slash, and hurriedly stepped back, holding the sword horizontally above his head to try to resist Diana's attack from the upper part.

"Don't take it for granted." Diana taunted, and the momentum of the vertical slash suddenly changed. She held the sword body and stabbed the hilt towards Chen Ke's chest fiercely.
