After a week of adaptation, they started to join the club. When Chris and Lin Yifei walked into Ghosn's fencing gym, it happened to be practice time. This fencing hall is underground, with a science laboratory above it. The entire fencing hall is as big as a basketball court and is divided into three parts, divided into saber, foil and epee. Among them, foil has the largest number of people, and epee least.
Lin Yifei looked left and right, and sure enough, he found Catherine and Ivy among the first graders watching.
"Hey! Catherine!" Just as Lin Yifei was about to pat her on the shoulder, the other party made a silent gesture to him. It turned out that two senior students were competing, and it was extremely thrilling to come and go.
Lin Yifei was also unknowingly attracted, he only saw the last tens of seconds. The coach called to stop, it didn't matter who won or lost, but Lin Yifei was very excited, because only in a school like Ghosn can he see such a high-level practice match.
Two people took off their masks, and one of them was Pan Affleck. Every time he saw him, he looked humble and polite. He didn't expect that he would be so aggressive when using a sword, and his attacking skills were astounding. . And the other person is that red-haired guy, Rex &? Gray. There is a mole under the corner of his eye, and it is this mole that gives people a wild and indecent feeling.
Rex's gaze swept away, and he saw Lin Yifei poking his head out.
"Oh—look who this is—" His sword slowly pointed at the onlookers, and everyone backed away unnaturally until everyone backed away, and his sword was pointed between Lin Yifei's eyebrows.
This made Lin Yifei step back unconsciously, just in time to be hugged by Chris.
"Isn't this the champion of the Middle School Students' National Fencing League Competition last year? Let me see how capable you are." Rex turned his head and gestured to a member next to him, "Hey, lend me your protective gear and saber. This brat!"
Lin Yifei has lost all affection for Rex, pointing a sword at someone is a very impolite behavior.
"Hey! Rex!" Pan on the side couldn't see, he came over and pressed down the sword he was pointing at the crowd, "Stop messing around!"
"Nonsense, how come? Don't you want to try if this kid from China is really that capable?" Rex squinted at Lin Yifei, "What's wrong? Don't you dare?"
With a sneer, Lin Yifei said in his heart: "Wash your neck well, Hong Mao!"
Just as he was about to step forward, Chris on the side held his shoulder.
"Then let me be your opponent, do you dare?" Chris's eyes were cold, and Lin Yifei knew that it was because Rex's behavior of pointing a sword at him just now made Chris angry.
"Okay—you have won the championship too!" Rex retreated to the preparation line, waiting for Chris to put on the protective gear.
At this time, there were more onlookers, and even the women with swords squeezed over.
Rex threw the timer at Lin Yifei: "Hey, I'll give you a timer, don't say I bullied him when the time comes!"
Pan reluctantly became their referee, and the coach was also very interested in seeing how Chris was doing.
After changing his protective gear, Chris stood opposite Rex, fiddled with the saber in his hand, and then posed.
Pan glanced at Lin Yifei, and with a start, Lin Yifei also pressed the timer.
At that moment, Chris suddenly accelerated, and the sword fell straight to Rex's mask.
Everyone let out an "oh-" and then fell silent.
This sword made Rex interested. He made a delicate shift and started his crazy attack, dazzled, and only Chris could be so arrogant even while retreating to defend.
Lin Yifei sighed, he hoped that Chris would not make mistakes because of anger.
At this moment, Chris separated Rex with a lunge!
Lin Yifei shrugged unnaturally.
fool! At this time, stabbing is fatal!
But at that moment, Lin Yifei vaguely saw the sneer under Chris's mask, the stabbing was just a feint, but Lin Yifei was taken aback by the way a moth pounced on a flame.
Just when Rex was about to separate his sword for a big counterattack, Chris suddenly stopped the trend, and struck Rex's arm with a sword.
Pan on the side froze for two seconds before saying loudly: "Chris scored!"
Lin Yifei laughed foolishly, if he hadn't noticed the sword just now, Chris is too powerful!
Rex turned his head and glanced at Lin Yifei's white teeth, stretched his neck, and made a "come again" gesture to Chris.
Next, Rex's attack speed and strength suddenly became much faster. Lin Yifei thought that he was already very fast during the practice with Pan just now, but he didn't expect it to be even faster. But when it comes to instant judgment and reaction ability, Chris is absolutely outstanding. He defended methodically, leaving no gaps for Rex.
Not only the coaches, but also some senior students nodded frequently.
But Rex is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. Lin Yifei always thought that his attack type would be impatient, but he was wrong. Rex was very patient. His rapid attack was impeccable. One minute, when everyone present was about to suffocate from holding their breath for too long, Rex's attack suddenly changed direction and stabbed Chris's shoulder fiercely, as if retaliating for his slash just now .
Thank God, everyone can finally breathe.
"Rex scored!" Pan's voice was unexpectedly loud.
Although Lin Yifei didn't like Rex, he admired his fencing.
After that, it was even more wonderful. Rex was only one year older than Chris, but his fencing was very famous.
After two rounds, it turned out to be a 12-12 tie. It seems that the third round will not be worry-free.
Unexpectedly, Rex said, "I don't want you in the next game."
"What?" Pan asked strangely, "Then what do you want?"
"Let him do it, let Chris do the timing." This time Rex didn't point his sword at Lin Yifei, but pointed his fingers.
"Stop being funny, okay!" Pan's expression could be described as helpless.
"I'm not joking, it's not very good, try to find out the strength of the two rookie kings at once, and save everyone's time." Rex's tone seemed to say that you should hurry up and accept my favor!
Pan rolled his eyes, looked at Lin Yifei and said, "You can ignore him."
Unexpectedly, Chris pulled off the mask, walked up to Lin Yifei, handed out the sword, "Kill him."
This made everyone around stunned, but Lin Yifei smiled slightly: "Okay."
He took Chris's mask and protective gear and put them on, then moved his shoulders and stood on the preparation line.
Pan looked at the coach, who just nodded in agreement.
Lin Yifei flicked his sword and made a pose.
"I'm already active, don't blame me if I get cramps later." Rex really couldn't say anything nice.
Pan only said "start", and Lin Yifei suddenly accelerated, slashing and stabbing, constantly changing the line, sometimes accelerating and then stopping suddenly. Facing an opponent like Rex, Lin Yifei can still attack so recklessly. The mature technique made the coach narrow his eyes, and the two girls watching couldn't stop whispering, "You're so handsome..."
Then there was a realistic feint, but Rex saw through it with great experience, and directly slashed at Lin Yifei, blocked it dangerously, and then stabbed across the opponent's sword, but was blocked.
Although no points were scored, the scene was already quiet.
Rex's counterattack was merciless, Lin Yifei could only step back step by step, but Chris raised the corners of his lips when he watched his steps, and that smile also attracted Pan's attention.
Soon, Lin Yifei's counterattack pierced the opponent's shoulder and explained to Pan why Chris laughed.
Lin Yifei's score didn't annoy Rex, but the other party said "well done" through the mask.
He thought that Rex should hate himself and Chris, but he didn't expect him to praise himself.
But in the next round, Rex quickly slashed Lin Yifei's mask with his sword, the force was a bit of a lesson.
The head doesn't hurt, it's just that the pressure is very real. Rex used this way to tell himself that if this was a duel, Lin Yifei was already dead.
But Lin Yifei was never the kind of guy who would be intimidated by opponents. Fencing is fencing, not a duel.
His calmness also makes the attacks he organizes effective and changeable. This gap in level and experience is particularly obvious among his peers. Lin Yifei's demeanor on the field makes people always think of some famous swordsmen. But Rex is definitely a rare and difficult opponent. His difficulty lies in his calmness and attacking sophistication. Lin Yifei became more and more courageous as he fought, his aura seemed to cut the opponent's sight when he slashed, and his advance and retreat were just right. It was precisely because of an opponent like Rex that his strength was fully displayed.
The score was tied at 15-15 when Chris yelled "time's up". Such scores are very dramatic.
Pan took a breath, and he admitted that Chris and Lin Yifei had opened his eyes.
"Okay, that's the end of the test of strength. No one in the whole fencing club spends time on practice after you compare. If you have any other energy, I suggest you use it in the round-robin competition in a month's time." The coach left He came over, with his hands in his pockets. He was about forty years old, with a mature smile of a man of that age, and he didn't have a beer belly, which meant that he usually insisted on exercising, and the faint wisdom in his eyes made people inexplicably trustworthy.
Unexpectedly, Rex took the coach's account very much, slowly took off his mask, looked at Lin Yifei, the depression at the corners of his lips didn't look so ostentatious, but calm.
