When A Mage Revolts

Chapter 44: The mage knows martial arts

Views:

Benjamin came to the military camp again.

Like last time, the soldiers guarding the gate took him to the gunfire camp without saying a word. Benjamin looked at the soldier who was completely wrapped in armor, and was a little curious if he was the brat from yesterday.

But he didn't have a chance to verify it. After the soldiers took him to the place, they left without saying a word.

Benjamin had no choice but to turn around and walk into the camp.

In the camp, a middle-aged man was leading the group of recruits into a formation. He saw Benjamin and snorted as if dissatisfied.

"You're actually still here? Now that you're here, hurry back to the team and remember to come earlier next time."

Benjamin was dragged out of bed by the maid at six o'clock. In addition, something happened last night and he didn't sleep well, so he was very sleepy now. If he had to come earlier next time, it would really cost him his life.

However, he did not dare to complain. Instead, he entered the team obediently and comforted himself with the words "It is better to be sleepy than hungry."

Hopefully I won’t have to run laps all morning again today.

Fortunately, after lining up and running a few laps, the middle-aged man finally made them stop.

There is new content coming.

"Although you are using muskets, when it is actually put on the battlefield, the enemy may not stand far away for you to shoot. They will rush in front of you quickly. Therefore, before you can touch the gun, first What you should master is the technique of close combat. You should disperse and rest for a while, then cheer up for me, open your eyes wide, and learn how to beat others when they come up to you."

Close combat skills? Benjamin couldn't help but think of Grant's skills in that simulated war game.

Learning how to fight should also be beneficial. Although magic is powerful, it may not be as flexible and convenient to use as a punch or a kick. Isn’t it said that if a wizard knows martial arts, no one can stop him

He also wants to fully develop his moral, intellectual, physical, artistic and physical skills.

He was a little surprised that the middle-aged man let them start to rest so quickly. In yesterday's training, this guy made them run all morning without taking a break. Why did he suddenly become so "merciful" today

"What happened to Old Dean today? Why did he let us rest so early?"

It seems that Benjamin is not the only one who has such doubts. When everyone was sitting on the edge of the camp to rest, Benjamin heard someone whispering this.

Dean sounds like a name that likes to give orders, which is quite suitable for a middle-aged man.

"Who knows, maybe I took the wrong medicine. We have to be careful."

“…”

People on the side are still talking. It seems that they will also be resentful. In obeying the bounden duty of this soldier, they did not do it from the bottom of their hearts.

"You little son of a bitch, you're not satisfied with letting you rest, are you? Come out, you two! Keep running!"

The two people on the side were chatting happily, but unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came out from behind. The sound was so loud that even Benjamin, who was sitting next to him, was shaken to the point of numbness.

The two recruits were startled, stood up quickly, and looked behind them in horror.

The person they were talking about, instructor Dean, was standing behind them, looking at them.

"Hahahaha, these two idiots!"

When the system saw this scene, Benjamin laughed happily in his mind.

"Instructor, instructor, we..." The two were confused, and one of them stammered, as if he wanted to explain.

Dean waved his hand and cursed at the two of them: "What's wrong, don't you want to take a rest? Okay, just go for a fucking run! You two don't even think about taking a break today! Go run around!"

The two lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more, and ran away obediently.

Benjamin found it a bit funny. However, in order to get the first shot, he still sat on the side, lowered his head and rested, pretending not to hear anything, lest Dean would come to trouble him again if he felt unhappy.

However, what does Murphy's Law say? The more you fear something will happen, the more likely it will happen.

Dean walked up to him and stopped.

Benjamin could not continue to be like an ostrich, burying his head in the sand and pretending that nothing happened. He raised his head and looked at Dean with a confused expression.

"Instructor, what's the matter?"

Dean looked at him with an unhappy face, and even Benjamin thought he was going to start beating someone. Suddenly, he took out a paper bag from behind. He held the paper bag and handed it to Benjamin impatiently.

Benjamin felt confused.

"What is this?" he asked cautiously.

Dean's tone also started to become fierce: "Didn't you say you didn't have breakfast? You're a fucking noble. Use this to cushion your stomach. Don't look like you're going to starve to death all day long, which will affect your training."

Benjamin was stunned and said, "I've had breakfast."

Dean's face suddenly darkened: "Didn't you fucking say you didn't eat?"

Benjamin's face was full of black question marks: "That's what I said yesterday. I didn't have breakfast yesterday, and it's not today."

“…”

The scene was very embarrassing.

"Damn it, don't eat it if you like it." Dean threw the paper bag in Benjamin's face and left.

The laughter that the system couldn't stop came again in my mind.

Benjamin stayed for a while, took the paper package in his hand, and opened it. I saw a piece of bread wrapped in paper. Although it didn't look as good as the one made by the cook at home, it should be pretty good for non-noble people.

He glanced at Dean who was walking away with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, this lunatic instructor who looked fierce all day long and had an unsafe gun on his waist was actually quite nice.

Although he had already eaten breakfast, Benjamin was still in the growth stage, and he would not be unable to eat an extra piece of bread, so he finished the bread quickly - he felt that if he didn't eat it quickly, he would lose it. Well, I'll probably give him small shoes and let him be a target for close combat training.

As a result, Benjamin found that he was overthinking.

Even though he finished eating the bread and showed that the bread was delicious and thanked Lord Ron, Dean still became a target for combat training.

"The human body has many weaknesses. When you are fighting, the first thing you want to think about is to incapacitate your opponent, not to defeat your opponent. Therefore, you must pick the opponent's vulnerable parts to hit, such as... this place!"

With that said, Dean punched Benjamin in the stomach.

He almost spit out the bread he just finished eating.

"Okay, the demonstration is over. Does anyone want to give it a try?"

The camp suddenly seemed to explode.

"Me me me!"

"Let me do it!"

"Instructor, I want to try!"

"let me try!"

“…”

As a relatively neglected Gunfire Battalion in the Royal Army, the recruits have never been as high-spirited as they are today. Even the cavalrymen in the camp next door were surprised by their cheers and showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Don't worry, everyone, come one by one and everyone will get their turn."

Benjamin looked helpless.

In his mind, the system said in a tone like a little girl: "Today's training was also very rewarding!"

In this way, with injuries all over his body, Benjamin ended the morning's training and returned to the Rise family with a bruised nose and face.

Jeremy hurriedly found medicine and applied it to Benjamin. Others looked at Benjamin with strange eyes, thinking that he was fighting with someone outside. Only Claude looked at the bruises on his body with a slightly satisfied expression.

Benjamin had no expression on his face. After applying the medicine and having lunch, he hid in his room.

His whole body collapsed on his chest.

Damn it, what is wrong with my brain to think that the instructor is pretty good

"There is something wrong with your brain. How can there be a super invincible and sophisticated artificial intelligence in the brain of a normal person?" In this regard, the system expressed its opinion.

Benjamin didn't want to talk to it.
