Chris did not leave the field in a hurry, but walked to the sidelines leisurely, leaning against the partition, watching Lin Yifei's game.
Lin Yifei's sword is always very dexterous, completely different from Westerners who admire strength. But in fact, the essence of fencing is not to use brute force to win, especially in the face of Lin Yifei, the more you try to suppress him with strength, the more ridiculous he will make you lose. In this match, Lin Yifei's opponent was obviously higher than Chris's opponent, and the kid seemed to understand the gap between his own level and Lin Yifei's, but he didn't give up, and he was very serious about every strike. For such opponents, Lin Yifei has always respected them.
Blocking the opponent's sword, it slid forward a little less than one centimeter, then let go suddenly, and struck back in a circle, even the angle was calculated to be exact, and struck the opponent's wrist. Lin Yifei had already scored fifteen points, while his opponent only had eight points. Lin Yifei won this game.
Saluting each other after the game, the boy watched Lin Yifei take off his mask and smiled at him.
"Hey, what's your name?" Lin Yifei shook hands with him.
"Avi Lance." The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, "You are awesome!"
"Really? Then why don't you come to our school? Our fencing team is terrible, and we only need one person to make a saber team!" Lin Yifei half-jokingly said to Ai Wei.
"No way, your school's fencing team will still be bad at your level?" Ivy looked in disbelief.
Lin Yifei still admires Ivey very much, after all, except for Chris, he has not met anyone who can take eight points from him.
"Yifei." Chris gently called out his name on the sidelines.
"Hey, Chris!" Lin Yifei turned around excitedly, and hugged him through the partition, "You must have won by the way you look. Great, we're in the semi-finals!"
Chris was slightly shocked by the momentum of his pounce, took a small step back, and then hugged him tightly again, the faint smell of shampoo filled his nose.
"The happiest thing is that you are in Group A and I am in Group D, which means we can only meet in the final, which is really great!"
"Um."
Lin Yifei broke free from his embrace, "Let's go, let's celebrate together!"
Generally, when Lin Yifei says he wants to "celebrate", he means going to McDonald's or a pizza shop. He is at the age where he likes fast food.
When he came to the auditorium and saw Catherine smiling faintly at him, Lin Yifei knew that she might have lost.
Mark and Philip held Catherine's shoulders and seemed to have comforted her for a long time.
"You and Chris are awesome, as if you were born for fencing." Catherine raised her head and looked at Lin Yifei standing beside her.
"As long as you really love fencing, then fencing exists for you." Lin Yifei reached out to touch the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, "Little fool, your journey is not over yet, why are you crying at the very beginning?"
Catherine chuckled, "Don't be so gentle with girls, don't pretend to be an adult."
Lin Yifei knew that Catherine was stronger than many girls he had met. Sure enough, she stretched her waist and stood up, "Let's go, celebrate you and Chris! My competition this year is over, so Lin, you have to work hard instead of me. If you can't win the championship, I will always Makes you very upset."
Everyone went to that McDonald's together. Catherine ordered a whole Big Mac set meal and bit into it. Lin Yifei was a little scared watching her while eating the apple pie.
Halfway through eating, Catherine suddenly looked at Chris, "Chris, what do you think of our forest fencing skills?"
"First class." Chris replied unequivocally.
"So is there any problem with him?" Catherine put one foot up, looking like a big sister.
"Yes." Chris' answer made both Mark and Philip curious. After all, in their hearts, Lin Yifei was already very powerful.
"Let's hear it." Catherine raised her chin.
"He's too lazy to do proper physical training. He has good technique, so he's overconfident in himself and doesn't coordinate the physical and neurological reactions. Sometimes even if his brain knows, his body can't do it. No response." Chris pointed directly at the core, saying that Lin Yifei was almost choked to death by French fries.
"I feel that I have no advantages other than good skills..." Lin Yifei looked up at the sky.
"So in order to make use of your only strength, I decided to make up for your shortcomings at all costs." Catherine took Lin Yifei's French fries, "Start systematic training next week, all physical training and so on! "
"Huh?" Lin Yifei leaned back.
"You are the trump card of our school, representing the reputation of me, Mark and Philip! You must definitely reach the national finals!" Catherine's bold words instantly infected Mark and Philip beside him.
Lin Yifei immediately turned his head to look at Chris, his eyes were full of distress signals.
"Okay, I will find my coach, tell him about Yifei's situation, and then draw up a training plan." Chris' answer pushed Lin Yifei into an abyss of despair.
"How could you do this to me?"
"I just don't want you to waste your talent." Chris turned his face to look at Lin Yifei, the same thing he said to him before.
It was a certain day before rebirth, Chris dragged Lin Yifei, who was picking up girls in the school library, to the fencing hall, threw the protective gear on him, confronted him involuntarily, and then defeated Lin Yifei overwhelmingly . That was the first time Lin Yifei felt that Chris was going to kill him.
Chris lightly waved the saber in his hand, and Lin Yifei's eyes hurt.
"Instead of getting drunk, I don't want you to waste your talent."
At that time, Chris was wearing protective gear, and Lin Yifei couldn't see his eyes clearly.
At this moment, Lin Yifei looked at Chris, his eyes were calm, but there was a kind of warmth that could not be denied.
"Okay." Lin Yifei nodded.
And this became the beginning of his disaster. Because it's always easier to make a promise than to keep it.
At six o'clock in the morning, Catherine had arrived downstairs at Lin Yifei's house. Mother Lin shook Lin Yifei awake, saying that the female classmate from the fencing club was waiting for him.
"Ah... what..." Lin Yifei couldn't get up at all.
"Don't let other girls wait for you!" Lin's mother dragged Lin Yifei up. Before rebirth, the Lin family didn't take Lin Yifei's participation in the fencing competition seriously. Back then, they thought it was expensive to buy protective gear and a saber, but the son liked it. There was no way, until Lin Yifei was admitted to a first-class university with fencing and received a large scholarship, they regretted why they didn't spend more money to hire him a personal trainer like other parents of children.
It's not suitable for morning exercises if you just finished breakfast, so Mother Lin gave Lin Yifei's breakfast to Catherine. But Lin Yifei was dumbfounded when he stood at the door, Catherine came on a bicycle, it was obvious that she wanted Lin Yifei to jog to school, this was simply killing Lin Yifei.
"I... I can't go to school to attend classes..." Lin Yifei shook his head.
Catherine rolled her eyes, "Chris already knew that you don't have that stamina! The training plan he gave me is that you run for 20 minutes every morning, and after 20 minutes, no matter where you run, you can take the bus car to school."
"So you cycled just to make sure I was jogging for twenty minutes?"
"Yeah. Or do you prefer Chris to watch you?" Catherine smirked, "Chris is very serious when he sees it, and then you won't even have a chance to be lazy."
"Okay... okay... I'll go..." Lin Yifei thought to himself that getting up so early every day, I guess you can't hold on for a few days, and then you can let it go.
Lin Yifei began to jog along the street, while Catherine followed him on a bicycle, humming a song when she had nothing to do, which almost made Lin Yifei very angry.
The air in the morning is really fresh, and there are birds chirping actively on the branches by the roadside.
It's just that Lin Yifei didn't have time to appreciate it, so after jogging for five or six minutes, he stopped to catch his breath.
Catherine's bike was parked next to him, and the guy was really well equipped, even the timer was ready.
"Dear Lin, according to Chris's training plan, the time you stop to catch your breath is not counted within 20 minutes." Her voice was still a bit harsh, if it wasn't because she was a girl, Lin Yifei might beat her up up.
After two minutes, Lin Yifei regained his strength and continued to trot.
And Catherine followed him.
The morning exercise was just the beginning of Lin Yifei's nightmare. After school at four o'clock every day, Lin Yifei had to practice basic movements with Catherine and the others in the activity room of the fencing club. Lin Yifei's unfamiliar technical movements such as swinging swords, stabbing, continuous forward and continuous back, etc. have to be repeated under the supervision of these children. For the first time, Lin Yifei thought why did he want to be reborn? Just reincarnate directly.
On the second day, Philip, the guy who often showed off, was waiting for him to get up downstairs in Lin's house. Lin Yifei stayed on the bed on purpose and couldn't get up, and Lin's mother had nothing to do with him, but Philip simply sang "Lazy Pig Gets Up" downstairs. Since he didn't sing louder and louder, Lin Yifei had no choice but to get up for morning exercises. It's okay to have a bad face.
"Are you trying to force me to death..."
Philip was riding Catherine's bicycle, "We love you with the determination to kill you."
On the third day, it was Mark who was waiting for Lin Yifei to get up. That guy is much more low-key than Catherine and Philip. He went directly upstairs and dragged Lin Yifei down. Even Lin's mother lamented his amazing efficiency.
