What is combat skills?
Originally, combat skills were physical techniques, which were the only things that the weak human race could rely on in that era. People relied on their infinite perseverance and the essence honed through blood and sweat, which became the origin of combat skills.
In that era, combat skills were not called combat skills, but martial arts. It was only after learning magic that martial arts, which could only be displayed after continuously honing physical strength, were enhanced by the power of magic. And thus, combat skills combined with magic appeared on the stage of history.
Magic and magic techniques are not areas that humans excel in, but combat skills are the foundation for human survival. The exploration of countless ancestors over thousands of years has made the martial arts civilization flourish among humans. This seemingly non-glamorous skill plays a crucial role in human history.
The instructor teaching combat skills is Rose, who was a former military officer of the kingdom and also graduated from the Asman Academy more than ten years ago.
"Feel the magic within you. Feel it, know it, command it, and let it move on your weapon!"
Under the scorching sun, Rose shouted at the dozens of junior students in front of him. Every student on the huge playground tightly held their weapons and guided the not-so-abundant magic within them onto their weapons, causing the ordinary wooden weapons to emit a slight fluorescence!
Rose's instruction was a very common skill: Weapon Enhancement!
First, stabilize the magic onto the weapon, and then use the rapid circulation of magic as the foundation to give the attached magic a powerful cutting effect, just like a rotating gear. With this effect, even holding an ordinary wooden sword can contend with an iron sword.
It can be understood as turning the weapon into something like a chainsaw. Isn't the power great?
Stabilizing the attachment is not a problem for at least half of the people present, but the circulation of magic and reaching a certain speed is the real difficulty of this class. As long as they can achieve this step, the martial technique "Weapon Enhancement" is considered to have completed the most crucial step, and the rest relies on personal proficiency.
Bexia stood in the position in front of the others, or rather, the so-called top twelve juniors all stood in the front row, and most of the people present were actually familiar with this combat skill, especially the nobles who grew up in noble households. They could easily display it. They learned these skills many years ago, and each of them showed a disdainful expression.
Bexia was the only one among the top twelve juniors who encountered the combat skill "Weapon Enhancement" for the first time. Even Carter had become quite proficient with it. Less than half of the people present did not know how to use it, and most of them were commoners.
Commoners and nobles are completely different roles. Nobles have had good education and systematic combat skill learning since childhood. In the same level, noble professionals can fight commoner professionals across levels, even against multiple commoner professionals. One of the main reasons for this is combat skills.
The other reason is the high-quality weapons and equipment. The biggest difference between nobles and commoners is not their status but the wealth they possess. Even if they are talentless trash, as long as they have enough wealth, they can increase their magic level by spending money.
Bexia had a fast learning ability. Although he had never encountered the combat skill "Weapon Enhancement," he had learned the combat skill "Lightblade Flash" taught by Kryss. Relatively speaking, Lightblade Flash was much more difficult than Weapon Enhancement. Having already learned Lightblade Flash, Bexia was only unfamiliar with learning Weapon Enhancement. After practicing a few times, he roughly grasped the trick.
"Commoners are just commoners. They actually came to learn such basic combat skills at this point. It's really hilarious!" A voice sounded behind Bexia. He turned around and saw a red-haired noble youth smirking at a blue-haired youth beside him.
The blue-haired youth remained silent, just lowering his head slightly in the face of the noble youth's mockery, continuing to practice the method of "Weapon Enhancement".
"Commoners are just commoners," the red-haired noble youth looked at the appearance of the blue-haired youth and sneered disdainfully. In his eyes, these people were not even comparable to the servants in his own house. Commoners were no different from dogs."Borg, have you gone too far?"
The blue-haired boy could tolerate it, but his friend couldn't. He stepped forward and glared angrily at the boy named Borg. The imbalance between commoners and nobles was the biggest hidden danger in this society.
"Oh! What are you going to do?" Borg smirked provocatively.
"Gareth and I want to duel with you!" The friend immediately stepped forward to stop Gareth, whose difference in strength was too great.
Although Borg's magic level was not even at the lower tier, he had the strength of a bottom-rank eight-star. He had been studying swordsmanship since the age of seven, for a total of ten years. On the other hand, Gareth had only been learning swordsmanship for a little over a year, and his magic level was only a bottom-rank three-star. The difference in strength between them was quite significant.
Furthermore, there was the difference between commoners and nobles. Borg, who had been undergoing systematic physical training since childhood, had far better physical fitness compared to Gareth, who could barely fill his stomach.
The most important thing was the systematic learning of combat skills. This was why nobles were nobles and commoners were commoners. The noble title wasn't just given, as without powerful strength, a noble family's legacy could not be sustained.
Each noble had their own set of training methods, which was most evident among the prominent noble families. They not only had methods for training their own people, but also had a complete system to train their subordinates. This attracted talented individuals with high aptitude to serve them, using these gifted individuals to support the family's power.
Even minor nobles had relatively well-developed training methods, and sometimes even had some powerful combat techniques. Take Borg, for example. Although his inherited title was only a fifth-rank baron, and he was only the third generation, his family possessed a dozen intermediate combat techniques and dozens of low-level ones. These things were things that ordinary commoners would never come across in their entire lives.
And these combat techniques were the reason why nobles had such strong fighting capabilities!
