Chapter 425: The Contest between Yvette and Futini

Of course, Yvette certainly couldn't challenge Futini to a sword fight for no reason. It would be bad if others, especially Ryan, thought that she had a grudge against Futini.

Yvette just didn't want to admit defeat, she wasn't really upset with Futini. During the past few days of getting along with her, she also treated Futini as a friend.

After all, who wouldn’t like a little princess who is innocent and simple and has no airs at all?

Then practicing with each other in the sword-testing arena is the most direct and effective method.

Yvette clenched the hilt of the sword with her little hands. On the one hand, it was her natural talent in swordsmanship, and on the other hand, all her swordsmanship was taught by Ryan himself!

This is what he is most proud of. It is no exaggeration to say that Ryan is the number one swordsmanship master in Hedley. As Ryan's disciple, he has absolutely no reason to lose among his peers!

Futini and Yvette stood opposite each other. Futini took a step forward with her right foot and stood elegantly in front of her left foot, holding the wooden training sword in front of her, demonstrating the standard swordsmanship of the Knights of the Imperial Guard.

Just from these two short steps, Yvette was able to sense that Futini's swordsmanship was extraordinary.

As expected, although she looks weak, she is the only daughter of King Luard after all, and it is impossible for her to lag behind others in swordsmanship education.

"Yvette, I'm going to attack, so be careful."

Futini first reminded Yvette, then lightly stepped forward with the toe of her right foot, and then quickly rushed towards Yvette!

His movements were both light and aggressive, and his confusing footwork and swordplay made it difficult for even Yvette to catch them.

Finally, when Futini approached Yvette and quickly drew her sword, Yvette, who was highly concentrated, finally saw the trajectory of Futini's sword and quickly raised her sword to block!

There was only a crisp sound, and Futini's sword was blocked by Yvette. She also took two steps back and said with a smile:

"Yvette is worthy of being Master Ryan's disciple. What superb swordsmanship!"

Because there were no people of the same age in the palace and Futini seldom interacted with them, Futini, who had been practicing sword under the instruction of the Knights' Sword Master, had no idea what level her swordsmanship ranked among her peers.

Futini even envied Yvette a little because Ryan was able to teach Yvette how to use the sword.

She couldn't do that, because her swordsmanship had been fixed over the years, and Ryan only knew the swordsmanship of the Knights Glory, and knew nothing about the Knights Guards, so she could only watch from the side when everyone was practicing swordsmanship.

After just one round of fighting, Yvette felt her back was soaked with cold sweat!

What was up with the footwork and swordplay in that attack? Was she really only ten years old?

Yvette felt that she had underestimated the educational level of the orthodox royal family.

"Yvette, now it's your turn to attack and I'll defend."

Futini had no idea what Yvette was thinking. With a simple mind, she was still practicing sword skills with Yvette in a turn-based manner. She stood in place with her sword ready, waiting for Yvette's attack.

Looking at Futini's impenetrable sword stand, Yvette took a deep breath, suppressed her inner hesitation, gripped the hilt tightly, stepped forward quickly, and launched an attack on Futini's weak point in defense!

Noticing the direction of Yvette's attack, Futini quickly shifted her defensive position. Yvette seized the opportunity, shifted her target, and stabbed Futini's sword into the gap in her defense!

Normally, in this situation, whether Futini took a step back or raised her sword to counterattack, she could perfectly block Yvette's sword.

But when the wooden sword was thrust out, Yvette noticed a hint of... panic in Futini's eyes, as if she had not expected that she would change the direction of attack again!

This scene made Yvette feel uneasy.

As expected, Futini waved her sword in a hurry to resist, but it had no effect on Yvette's attack.

Fortunately, the wooden sword was light, and Yvette immediately moved the tip of the sword to avoid stabbing Futini.

But he was completely unable to stop due to the huge inertia, and he collided with Futini, and the two little lolis rolled directly to the ground.

"Mr. Hedley, Mr. Odysseus, are you two okay?"

When the fencing instructor saw this scene, he was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his throat and he shouted immediately.

Before the dizzy Yvette could speak, Futini, who was pressed under her, quickly responded: "Teacher, we are fine!"

At this time, Yvette came back to her senses and looked down at Futini. She found that Futini was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes, but Futini was holding them back and said with a smile:

"Yvette's swordsmanship is really amazing."

Yvette quickly stood up and pulled Futini up: "Hold... I'm sorry, I didn't know how to control my strength."

The same thing happened when she collided with Futini and rolled over. In order to prevent her from getting hurt, Futini deliberately lay underneath her.

Obviously, Futini is a girl who is very afraid of pain...

Thinking about her original intention of seeking Futini as a partner, Yvette felt extremely ashamed.

"It doesn't matter. I'm just not as skilled as you. If Yvette hadn't put away her sword to avoid hurting me, I probably wouldn't have fallen."

Futini still thought it was nothing and quickly spoke to comfort Yvette.

When it comes to socializing with friends, it is no exaggeration to say that Futini has a people-pleasing personality.

Maybe it was because she was too lonely in the past, so Futini cherishes every friend of hers.

But Futini's actions also made Yvette even more ashamed.

"You... don't have any practical experience?"

Thinking of Futini's panic just now, Yvette asked softly.

Futini scratched the back of her head and nodded a little embarrassedly: "Because I have always been practicing swordsmanship with adults, this is the first time I have teamed up like this..."

No wonder...

Yvette sighed inwardly, not knowing whether she felt sorry for Futini's lack of practical experience or was relieved:

"Your defense is too rigid. You don't consider your opponent's next move. Let me attack and you defend. I will slow down the pace so you can feel your own shortcomings."

"Oh ok, thanks Yvette!"

After these two moves, Yvette knew very well that Futini was not inferior to her in swordsmanship, and was even much stronger than her.

The reason why Futini lost was that she only knew how to rigidly follow the sword techniques, without knowing how to adapt and lacking practical experience.

If this shortcoming were to be made up, even Yvette would probably not be a match for Futini with this sword-training method.

Yvette knew all this very well, but she still taught Futini wholeheartedly without any barriers in her heart.

Rivals are rivals, friends are friends, and now Yvette is just doing what she should do as Futini's friend.
