Chapter 97 Let’s Chew a Burger Together

It happened in a flash.

Chen Ke's eyes were stern, and his right hand loosened the hilt of the sword. He grabbed Diana's wrist like lightning, pressed down along the joint, and threw her to the floor.

Diana's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect Chen Ke to have such a trick.

But she immediately did a side flip to relieve the force of Chen Ke twisting her joint.

Chen Ke quickly let go of his hand. The action just now came from the killer's instinct, a kind of muscle memory. At that juncture, for Chen Ke, who was not familiar with the sword, it was a better choice to fight back with bare hands.

Diana shook her chestnut hair, looked at Chen Ke, and showed an indescribable smile.

"That move just now was really good. Who did you learn it from?" Diana asked with a smile.

"Google." Chen Ke smiled.

"Google can't teach you so well, unless you often throw others like this..." Diana's smile gradually disappeared.

Chen Ke felt that Diana's smile was very dangerous, and there was a feeling that a teacher saw through the student's lies. What does this woman do...?

"Focus!" Chen Ke shouted, and stabbed Diana in the chest.

Diana lowered her body slightly, holding the hilt tightly with both hands, and before the tip of the sword was about to touch her body, she actually used the root of the sword to block Chen Ke's stab.

Oops! It's discovered!

Chen Ke used all his strength to stab, but Diana blocked most of it at once, and the center was biased to one side, and the whole person fell to the ground. He let go of the sword, pressed the ground with both hands, and made an orz gesture.

Diana symbolically put her sword on Chen Ke's waist and abdomen and gently slashed it, showing a smug smile, and uttered the onomatopeia of "hissing" from her mouth.

Chen Ke sighed, picked up his sword, stood opposite Diana, and started over.

"If this was in the Middle Ages, you would have been cut in half by me just now." Diana spread her hands.

"That was really good just now. Did you learn it from Google?" Chen Ke said.

"I learned it after being stabbed at least 100 times." Diana moved the sword a few times and took a basic stance.

Chen Ke imitated Diana's posture and rushed towards Diana again. He had just placed the sword on the left side of his body when he was forced to stop.

Because the tip of Diana's sword was facing him, blocking the direction of his attack.

"Your footsteps betrayed you. I can tell where you are going to strike the sword by looking at your feet." Diana laughed.

Chen Ke was stunned and looked down at his feet. His right foot was in front and the sword was indeed placed on the left side of his body. He was just thinking about using his left arm to sweep it.

"Duang!"

Chen Ke's mask was knocked.

"If you hesitate, you will lose." Diana said.

"Entry Meyer Swordsmanship: 55%"

A line of small words appeared in the corner of Chen Ke's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Come again."

Chen Ke took a few steps back and sorted out his posture. At this moment, Chen Ke felt that this woman was more difficult to deal with than the zombie knights in the Kingdom of Vanhede.

He stared at Diana, observing her every move, trying to guess her next second's intention, using the killer's intuition to judge...

Chen Ke tried to attack again, slashing at Diana with four swords in a row, but Diana parried and resolved them one by one. Diana suddenly stepped forward, stretched one leg between Chen Ke's feet, and tripped him with her heel.

Chen Ke lost his balance and fell to the ground. Diana pointed the tip of the sword at Chen Ke's throat.

"Your attack is completely wrong. Don't chop the sword from top to bottom at once. Keep the tip of the sword facing up." Diana smiled.

"I have mastered some tricks a little bit." Chen Ke stood up and reorganized his posture.

Chen Ke attacked again and again, and was knocked down by Diana again and again. The entry level of his skills became higher and higher. Diana is undoubtedly a very good sparring partner.

He mastered the basic essentials of HEMA. Every attack was not done with all his strength, nor did he chop the sword completely down, but used more half-chops to continuously oppress the opponent's attack route.

At the same time, Chen Ke became more and more proficient in switching between the four postures, and his sword movements were also considered to be in the doorway. When he found the right opportunity, he would use a set of sword flowers and try his best to suppress his impulse to turn around, swing hard, and other meaningless movements.

"Get the mortal skill."

"Meyer Swordsmanship: Getting Started"

Finally, when Chen Ke used a very dangerous attack on Diana, Meyer Swordsmanship appeared below Kali and officially became one of Chen Ke's standing skills.

Of course, compared with the mastery of Kali, Krav Maga, and the central axis heavy lock shooting system, Meyer Swordsmanship is just an entry-level skill.

But this also means that this swordsmanship is really a killing skill, otherwise it would not be recognized by Life Countdown.

Diana leaned the sword on her body, clapped her hands, and said: "I have to say that you have made great progress."

"Practicing with you is very effective. If there is a chance in the future, can I still find you?" Chen Ke was still unsatisfied, but it was time to stop today.

"I don't come here often because I'm busy with work, but I should be here on Sundays. If I'm in a bad mood, I might come to find you." Diana smiled.

"Maybe after a few practice sessions, I'll be better than you." Chen Ke smiled.

He has this confidence, after all, he will practice it in person in the future in the battle with monsters, which is a fight of life and death, far beyond the intensity of the club's sparring.

"Then I'll wait and see. Well...your name is Chen Ke...right?" Diana said.

"Yes, Chen Ke, C-H-E-N, K-E" Chen Ke spelled out his name.

"Okay... I will remember you. Your grappling skills impressed me deeply. I have a hunch that you will definitely be more powerful with your bare hands than with a sword," Diana said.

Chen Ke was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer the question.

"Don't be so serious Chen Ke, my name is Diana Prince, you can call me Diana. From today on we are sword buddies, so let's go have dinner together, I'll treat you.

Chen Ke was surprised. He didn't expect that this woman was also a pretty person. Not long after they met, she would actually invite someone to dinner?

He didn't shirk. After the two of them took off their protective gear, he followed Diana away from Golden Arthur and took the elevator downstairs.

In the elevator, Chen Ke kept thinking about what he should say during the meal so as not to expose himself. For some reason, Chen Ke always felt that Diana's career had an official background.

I just subconsciously counterattacked and captured him, leaving a lasting impression on him.

Will she be a county police officer? Or...the Authority? Or...a killer like himself, hidden in society...?

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became... Chen Ke swept these unrealistic thoughts out of his mind, but no matter what, in front of Diana, he must always pay attention to his words and deeds to avoid being discovered by her again.

The two left the department store. Chen Ke originally thought they would at least have steak together for dinner, but Diana actually took him to the Burger King fast food sales window across the street.

The advertising poster on the right side of the window reads "Buy ff!"

A hamburger costs 2 coupons, and if you buy six of them, the original price is 12 coupons, but with a 50% discount, it only costs 6 coupons. If you are poor and have a large family, this is undoubtedly a very economical dinner.

Chen Ke looked at Diana who was buying a hamburger in surprise. Is this girl... very poor? Are you still playing HEMA if you are very poor? Untrue…

"Six, no ketchup." Diana said with ease.

Soon, the waiter at the window handed her a paper bag filled with six burgers.

Diana took out a hamburger from the paper bag and handed it to Chen Ke, saying: "While it's hot."

"I... this... um..." Chen Ke took the burger, which was still a little hot. It was the first time he saw a burger in the United Federation of States, and it was indeed different from what he had eaten at McDonald's back home.

Big, generous, and filling, this was Chen Ke’s first impression of the burger. The unattractive chunks of meat and vegetables are sandwiched between two thick and heavy slices of bread. The portion of one piece is probably as big as three in domestic McDonald's...

Diana has already started to eat. The girl eats and looks at the truth...

"What's your dinner..." Chen Ke asked.

"I can only eat five, Chen Ke. Next time we meet, whoever loses will treat me. I'm leaving first, bye." Diana touched the meat dregs around her mouth, smiled, and looked towards the underground parking lot nearby. Go.

Chen Ke was left alone, holding a burger, standing in a mess on the street.
