He would be given more of what he already had, and more restrictions would be placed on what he did not have.
For example, Elvin did not place much importance on the basic Transcendent sword technique. The Badge Students who left early even abandoned it like it was a pair of worn-out shoes. However, the recruits had to use their lives and achievements to exchange for it in the future.
In fact, if they did not reach a certain rank and age in the navy, they would not even know about the existence of the Transcendent World.
Elvin still remembered Eugene telling him solemnly.
This was not only to maintain the stable rule of the upper class, but also because the world humans lived in was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Beyond the civilized world, there were horrors that ordinary people could not imagine. Ignorant explorers of the hidden mysteries would lose control and lead to disasters. The Witch Hunt that the major churches had been promoting with great fanfare was not groundless.
However, no matter how strict the rules were, there were exceptions. After secretly obtaining Major Eugene's permission, Elvin called Gary out alone.
"Young man! I can see that you have amazing bones. You must be a genius in martial arts. In the future, I'll leave the heavy responsibility of protecting the justice and peace of the universe to you! I have a Tathagata … Ahem, a complete military sword technique. I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price. "
There was a saying on the sea: "No matter how strong a warrior is, he cannot sail a small sailboat with his own strength."
If Elvin was determined to be a lone ranger, it would not have mattered. However, this was the great age of navigation. Whether it was to obtain power or to seek greater strength, he needed reliable companions.
After spending nearly two months together, Elvin believed that he already knew this tall and sturdy "young man" very well. He had a rough appearance, but he was talented, but he had a clean heart. If he nurtured him well when he was still young, he might be a great help to him.
At the same time, Elvin was very confident in his Digital Vision. He believed that the data it observed would not lie to him.
Speaking of which, if Gary could fake his breathing, heartbeat, and changes in his pupils under the surveillance of his Digital Vision, it would not be impossible for Elvin to consider such an expert.
Elvin was willing to invest in his only follower in advance and give him a chance.
However, even Elvin did not expect that Gary would be so compatible with the "military swordsmanship".
In the beginning, when he was sparring with his fellow recruits, he couldn't tell much. At most, he was just a little more ferocious than the others. Even during sparring sessions, because he couldn't control his own strength, he would often use his brute force to send his opponent flying along with his sword.
Because of this, Gary was even given the unpleasant nickname of "Mountain Boar Warrior" by the recruits and instructor Eugene of the same batch.
After all, even if he won ten battles in a row, this barbaric fighting style would not be recognized by the recruits who already regarded the "military swordsmanship" as a standard.
However, when Elvin taught Gary the breathing technique of the "Military Swordsmanship", allowing him to slowly learn how to use the strange power contained in his body and adjust his breathing to temper his internal and external body, Gary seemed to have obtained the only way to control his innate strength, and his progress was amazing.
In just a short week, Gary's body was no longer as strong as before. His body had slightly shrunk in size. Not only did he not appear thin and weak, but he gave off a strong and powerful feeling, like a dangerous beast in the forest.
The two of them stood facing each other in a desolate corner with swords in hand, and began their daily sparring sessions.
"Gary, attack me!"
"Yes, boss!"
"Whoosh!" A fierce and unyielding sword whistled through the air. It was just a simple downward slash, but in Gary's hands, it already had a different feeling.
"Pa!"
Elvin dodged to the side and waved the wooden sword in his hand. The back of the sword hit Gary's shoulder and forced him to take half a step back.
"Attack again!"
"Pa!" He slapped away Gary's stab from the side, and the sword slid down and stopped under his armpit.
"Attack again!" "Attack again!" …
Only when Gary was exhausted and sprawled on the ground, did Elvin leisurely put away his sword and opened the latest data he had collected.
Name: Gary Farman
Gender: Male
Identity: Navy recruit
Attribute: Physique 0.7
Strength 0.65 + 0.06
Agility 0.4 + 0.12
Intelligence 0.4
Skills: Faletis Army Knife Technique (Basic, including swordsmanship and breathing technique) Nautical Knowledge (Basic) Elementary Military Skills
Just by simply learning the breathing technique, Gary's strength increased by 0.06 to 0.71. The increase in speed was even more exaggerated, directly jumping from 0.4 to 0.52. Although it was still lacking compared to the other attributes, it had already greatly made up for his shortcomings. At least, he had far surpassed an ordinary adult.
His physique didn't change much, but it was the core attribute of an extraordinary Knight. It was also the foundation that determined whether or not his other attributes could be used, so he would need to put in more effort.
It was like a rich second generation who had inherited the family fortune. He had already learned how to efficiently distribute and manage the wealth, and only then would he think about how to increase the total amount of wealth.
Gary's situation was the same. After learning the breathing technique, he would quickly improve in a short period of time. But if he wanted to slowly cross the threshold of extraordinary, he still had a long way to go.
"Alright, don't lie there like a corpse. Remember your current limits. There's still a month left. Try to dig out the full potential of your innate physique. "
"Okay, Boss, I got it!" The more he started to cultivate, the more Gary admired Elvin. His physique, strength, skills, and knowledge were all crushed. Moreover, Elvin had taught him the breathing technique, so Gary had now completely become Elvin's little fan.
To Gary, the instructor's words might make him hesitate, but Elvin's words would definitely make him willing to go through fire and water.
Therefore, in the following month, apart from various necessary training courses and spending time in the library, Elvin would often take the time to teach Gary. They were about to officially board the ship, and Elvin didn't want his new follower to be killed by a pirate in the blink of an eye.
"Dong dong dong …"
"Come in!"
Elvin pushed open the door and walked into Major Eugene's office.
He bowed and said, "Instructor, you called for me?"
"Don't pretend to be serious. Close the door and take a seat!" In the past three months, Elvin had helped Eugene a lot. When Eugene saw through his nature, the two of them had become much closer.
"What is your family thinking? I haven't received any notice from you yet. You don't really want to be assigned to a random warship, do you? "Eugene crossed his legs and asked casually.
Elvin responded with a bitter smile.
He also knew that the recruits of the same batch would have to go on a warship for an internship after completing their training. If there were no accidents, many of them might spend their entire naval career on a warship. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would share weal and woe together.
Therefore, the choice of which warship to board was a decision of fate for a marine. It was even more important than taking a wife.
After all, the choice of a warship not only affected the difficulty of promotion in the future, but also their own lives. If they were on an unimportant Level 6 patrol ship or communication ship, then they would slowly accumulate experience. If they were on an old model of cannon fodder ship, then they would quickly pray for the goddess to bless them so that they could return safely. If they were able to board a main warship, then the risk would be greater, but at the same time, the accumulation of merits would be faster.
However, the choice of a warship wasn't decided by the recruits themselves. It would be directly assigned by the higher-ups.
The families of the rich and powerful had already arranged their futures for them. In the first month, the "badge students" in the same batch as Elvin left early because the warships arranged for them returned to the port one after another and they boarded the warships in advance.
If Elvin really had a family behind him, then they wouldn't have let him waste three months in the training camp. They should have made arrangements long ago.
This was also what Major Eugene was puzzled about.
Now, looking at Elvin's expression, Major Eugene, who was good at imagining things, automatically thought of all sorts of bizarre plots such as the infighting of the noble families, the loss of power, and the disciples of the side branches who were not valued. Then, he was too lazy to ask more questions.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll arrange it for you. Get out!"
"Yes, sir!" Elvin smiled and thanked him. He saluted and turned to leave. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh yeah, Instructor, Gary …"
"Get out!!!"
Walking out of Major Eugene's office, Elvin felt half of the stone in his heart had been lifted. When he just started out, he met a few good people who were cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Viscount Andrea's recommendation and Major Eugene's support. If it wasn't for them, he would've just wasted a few years.
Although they may have their own ideas, but he couldn't forget the benefits he received. In the future, if he had the ability, he must remember to repay them. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to clear his mind.
As for the novels he read in his previous life, the protagonist who just started out as a blank piece of paper slaughtered everyone. He fought with countless old foxes who harbored evil intentions and was able to defeat them. This wasn't impossible, but it was too fantastical.
