Professional!

"Teacher, the brother Merlin I told you about last night, who wants to come to our dojo to learn swordsmanship, has arrived."

At this moment, Monde, who had come to the sofa, reported to the man with respectful eyes.

"It's Monde!" The man turned around with a smile, looking at Merlin and the others. He pointed to the sofa opposite them with his right finger:

"Sit down, let's talk as we sit."

Hearing this, Merlin didn't stand on ceremony and walked to the sofa naturally, sitting down.

Yol and Lami also followed Merlin and sat down.

However, Monde did not sit down. Instead, he stood behind the man with a simple and honest smile.

At this moment, the man continued to look at the three of them with a smiling expression, while Merlin, with an unchanged expression, calmly observed the man with curiosity.

He was sturdy but very well-proportioned, giving the impression that he was not at all clumsy. His hands had thick knuckles, and on the webbing between his thumb and forefinger, there was a layer of calluses similar to Monde's.

At this moment, no one present spoke, which made the atmosphere a bit heavy.

After a few more seconds, Fiore smiled and spoke:

"Monde told me you want to learn swordsmanship at my dojo? Your name is Merlin?"

Merlin nodded gently and then said, "I am Merlin, but I want to correct that. All three of us are here to learn swordsmanship.

I heard from Monde that you have three teaching modes, and Yol and I will choose the VIP student status.

As for Lami, the youngest, she will learn the basics as a regular student.

By the way, I still don't know your name?"

Fiore smiled and nodded, "You can call me Teacher Fiore. You are not old, and while learning swordsmanship is a bit late, if you are willing to work hard, you may achieve something in the future."

Fiore's eyesight was excellent. Not to mention Lami, he could tell at a glance that neither Merlin nor Yol showed any signs of having practiced swordsmanship.

At this moment, he looked at Yol with narrowed eyes, "This young lady should be Yol, right? If you'll forgive my bluntness, given your age, to learn swordsmanship, unless you have extraordinary talent, your future achievements may not be very high.

Because you probably have never come into contact with a sword before, have you?"

Yol nodded gently, and her clear voice came out, "Although I haven't touched a sword yet, I will study hard from now on.

I'm not afraid of hardship."

Fiore smiled, somewhat noncommittally, "Let me tell you in advance, you can try the regular student level first to see if you are suitable for learning swordsmanship. If you have talent, it's not impossible to be promoted to VIP student status later."

Yol still said gently, "Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need. We discussed it before we came. Yol and I will study your swordsmanship here as VIP students."

Seeing this, Fiore raised his eyebrows and said no more. After all, if people were rushing to send money, what else was there to say? Of course, he agreed: "Since you've decided, then pay the tuition! It's paid per quarter. After paying the tuition and receiving your training uniforms, I can teach you the basics of swordsmanship at any time."

Yol smiled and nodded, "Okay."

With that, she took out her bulging handbag, opened it, took out two stacks of one million Belly, and then took out a small stack of ten ten-thousand Belly notes.

Fiore's eyes flickered as he watched Yol's actions, then he smiled and took the money, quickly counting the tuition for the three of them.

At this moment, he looked at Lami and said, "This little girl is too young. For now, she can only undergo basic physical training and learn the basic stances of swordsmanship.

Are you okay with this?

The dojo has a group of children under ten years old, and she can only go with them to practice the basics.

If you can't accept it, you can wait another year or two until she grows a bit bigger before coming to me to practice swordsmanship."

However, as soon as his words fell, Lami said to him crisply, "Lami is okay."

Hearing this, Fiore couldn't help but smile. This girl reminded him of his daughter when she was little, who also spoke earnestly like this.

Fiore smiled and nodded, then looked at Merlin and said, "I know you three bought a villa not far from the dojo, so I won't arrange accommodation for you. As for the daily training schedule, Monde will tell you later. Oh, right, the dojo only provides lunch, but it's all you can eat."

After finishing, he looked at Monde beside him, "Now, go and take your three junior disciples to get their training uniforms and bamboo swords!

After you're done, bring Merlin and Yol to the VIP training area to find me."

Monde nodded with a simple and honest smile, "Okay, Teacher."

With that, he looked at the three of them and said with a smile, "Then you guys come with me!"

Merlin and the other two got up and followed Monde. Along the way, Monde told them the daily training times at the dojo.

That is, from 7 AM to 12 PM, and from 2 PM to 7 PM.

You can arrange the rest of your time as you see fit.

You can take leave if there's anything.

Of course, this is the arrangement for ordinary students. VIP students will have more freedom with their time, as they will receive one-on-one instruction from Fiore and his two sons.

Arriving at a logistics warehouse within the estate, Monde skillfully retrieved training outfits and bamboo swords of suitable models for the three of them. They were then led to a changing room to change.

Inside the changing room, each person had a personal locker to store their belongings.

Men's changing room.

At this moment, looking at his reflection in the mirror, he was wearing a well-fitting, dark purple training uniform, cloth shoes on his feet, and holding a specially tanned, tough bamboo sword in his hand.

"This fits well enough..."

A moment later, Monde brought the three of them to an area with over twenty children, where a young man around twenty years old was teaching them swordsmanship.

Lami was sent here.

At this moment, Merlin rubbed Lami's head and said:

"Yol and I will be leaving now. You just watch and learn here. We'll come find you when we have time."

Lami nodded emphatically, smiling at Merlin:

"Don't worry, Lami will take good care of herself."

At this, Yol looked at her gently and said, "If anyone bullies you, come back and tell us. Big sister will beat them up for you then."

Due to her physique, Yol's training outfit perfectly accentuated her curves. Combined with her delicate and gentle face, her current threat carried no killing intent and instead had a playful tone.

Lami, however, felt a bit embarrassed. She knew about Yol's incredible strength and nodded repeatedly, solemnly saying:

"Lami knows. For their physical and mental well-being, Lami will definitely take good care of herself."

Yol smiled and nodded at her words.

Just then, Merlin looked kindly at the young man, who also looked over and smiled warmly at Merlin:

"Hello, I am Orr, and I am the instructor for these children's swordsmanship. Please rest assured, no child will be bullied under my watch."

"Merlin, that's my name. I'll entrust my Lami to your care, Senior Brother Orr."

Merlin said gently.

Orr nodded with a smile, "Please rest assured, Brother Merlin."

At this, Yol also nodded gently at Orr, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Orr."

Orr nodded back gently, but a flicker of stunning beauty involuntarily flashed in his eyes.

But it was only a fleeting moment of admiration...

After dropping Lami off, Merlin and Yol followed Monde to a quiet training ground behind the estate.

The area was surrounded by lush, golden ginkgo trees.

At the edge of the training ground, there was a pavilion with a weapon rack inside.

On the weapon rack were displayed over a dozen swords of three different types.

They were: greatswords, rapiers, and katanas.

At this moment, Fiore, wearing his training outfit, stood alone in the center of the field. Standing up, he was tall, approximately three meters in height.

Compared to him, Merlin and Yol looked like kindergarten children standing before an adult.

Fiore exuded a powerful aura that drew everyone's gaze to him.

Seeing Merlin and Yol arrive in their well-fitting dojo training outfits, Fiore's lips curved into a satisfied smile:

"Good, you both look energetic."

"Oh, Monde, you missed this month's public class due to work. You'll stay and listen in now! No matter the technique, the foundation is always the most important."

Fiore wasn't squinting his eyes as he spoke; his gaze was sharp and piercing, like a newly unsheathed blade.

Joy flickered in Monde's eyes as he nodded sheepishly, "Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

Fiore nodded slightly, then his gaze focused on Merlin and Yol:

"After VIP students in the dojo have mastered the basics of swordsmanship, they generally pursue their own cultivation based on their preferences. Therefore, people rarely come here. In the past month, only the two of you have registered as VIP students."

"Alright, enough talk. Let's begin the lesson. The Rockheart Kendo Dojo was founded by me, Fiore. The swordsmanship I teach can be divided into three types. One is the greatsword style, which emphasizes wide, powerful movements. The second is the rapier style, focusing on agility and speed. The last is the katana, which follows a more balanced approach. I will teach you all three types of swordsmanship. As for which style you will learn or prefer in the end, that will be your own choice. Today, I will teach you the fundamental routines for all three sword styles."

Seeing the three of them listen intently to his words, Fiore's eyes once again showed a hint of satisfaction.

Then, Fiore took a greatsword from the weapon rack and began to explain from the basics, covering everything from how to grip the sword, body posture, footwork changes during combat, control over swing distance, and breathing techniques.

After the two had gained a general understanding of the techniques for using this greatsword in their minds.

He then proceeded to explain each movement in detail, breaking them down one by one.

After that, came the rapier techniques and the usage of weapons like the Katana.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed in a flash.

Under Merlin and Yol's hasty learning, both gained a superficial understanding of these three sword techniques.
