Chapter 202 Tangcao's Choice
"Let's begin, Sister Nan, I'm ready!"
Inside the special training room, Tang Cao, who had changed into her training clothes, clenched her little fists, her face full of excitement.
It's called a practice uniform, but it's actually just an ordinary white robe bought online, the kind that old men who practice Tai Chi in the park would wear.
Looking at the eager Tangcao, Qin Nan smiled. "Don't be so impatient. This time, we're not mainly learning actual fighting techniques, but rather the techniques for constructing magical armor."
"Magic armor composition?" Tangcao tilted her head, then quickly realized. "I know, it's a weapon specifically crafted from magic, right? Like the dagger you used before."
"Ah, you can understand it that way, but there are still some differences," Qin Nan said. "The reason why magical armor is called magical armor is because once it is successfully created, it will become the magical girl's lifelong partner, an irreplaceable product."
"So before that, I want to ask you, are you really sure about this?"
"Once you embark on the path of a magical girl in costume, it will be extremely difficult for you to learn other magic in the future, because all your magic from now on will revolve around magical costumes in your learning and development."
Looking at the serious-looking Qin Nan, Tang Cao's smile gradually faded.
She lowered her head slightly, and that golden figure flashed through her mind.
Knights?
If I could possess that kind of power, I would be able to bring a sense of security to others in the future, just like the other person!
Now that the existence of magical girls has been exposed, calamities and monsters pose a constant threat to the lives of ordinary people.
Therefore, I need to become stronger, only in this way can I have enough power to protect my brother.
Thinking of this, Tang Cao nodded heavily.
"Nan-neechan, I've made up my mind! I want to become a magical girl in costume!"
"good!"
Qin Nan looked at Tang Cao with admiration; that was what she had originally thought too.
"As a magical girl who dresses up, before you embark on this path, I still want to tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of this type of magical girl, which will be helpful to your future."
"Hmm!" Tang Cao pricked up her ears, her face full of seriousness.
"The advantage of a magical girl in costume lies in herself. Although the magic she learns is all built around magical costumes, a magical girl herself must have a certain level of combat ability to control magical costumes."
Qin Nan was satisfied with Tang Cao's attitude and continued to introduce her.
"Many sisters think that magical girls in costumes are not good at ranged attacks, which is actually a big mistake. Let me give you an example, as you have seen before. Although my special move is melee, I am not without ranged attacks."
"Furthermore, magical armor also offers both melee and ranged options. For example, I've heard Sister Tan mention that there was once a magical girl who used a magical bow and arrow."
"That senior's ranged attack methods don't seem as destructive as those of a ranged magical girl, but her ultimate move, 'Seven Stars Alignment,' fires seven arrows at an extremely high speed, all hitting the same spot simultaneously. Its power is not to be underestimated."
"But if you think she's just a ranged attacker, you're sorely mistaken. Besides archery, her archery skills are unparalleled. She can even hold her own in close combat with low-ranking Outer Path Demons."
"Amazing!" Tang Cao's eyes sparkled.
"It's certainly impressive, but do you understand the main point I'm making?" Qin Nan crossed her arms and Tang Cao looked thoughtful before tentatively asking, "Sister Nan, are you saying that while magical armor is fixed, combat techniques are ever-changing, right?"
"Hmm, you reacted quickly," Qin Nan continued.
"Simply put, the key to training as a magical girl in costume is to leverage your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses. You need to understand what your weaknesses are and then find ways to make up for them, rather than simply pursuing how to maximize your strengths."
"Each magical girl has her own strengths, but after playing so many games and watching so many anime, you should understand that no matter how well you do a certain type, there will always be times when you make mistakes."
"Reality is not a game where you can't undo a mistake. So what we need to do is develop in all aspects and raise our lower limit, which is often more practical than raising our upper limit."
Qin Nan stretched out her hand, and the amethyst dagger instantly materialized in her palm, gleaming with a faint, cold light.
"For example, when I first chose to create a weapon like a dagger, I wanted it to be a one-hit kill and to match my speed. But no matter how high the attack power is, it's useless if you can't hit the enemy. The 'instant kill line' can greatly help me hit the enemy, and that's my fighting style."
"And you, Tangcao."
"Before you build your magic armor, you should also think about your fighting style in advance. Although style is something that is gradually cultivated, having a general direction from the beginning will make things smoother for you later."
"Fighting Style: "
Tangcao recalled her past battle experiences.
At first, I only used the Star Staff to cast spells. While that felt good, I always felt something was missing.
Furthermore, casting spells with the Star Staff does not allow one to fully utilize their speed advantage.
Later, after witnessing the wolf rider's battle, Tangcao truly began to reflect on his own fighting style.
The ice element's control over the environment is terrifying. No matter the environment, it can create a battlefield that suits it. How to maximize the effect of this environment is the focus of Tangcao's current thinking.
There are many weapons that can offer both advantages, such as a frosty field and a dodging technique that resembles a dance, but perhaps only one is the most suitable for you.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Cao took out her phone from her pocket, searched for a bit, and then placed the screen in front of Qin Nan.
"Sister Nan, what do you think of my weapon design?"
Qin Nan curiously took the phone, and then she saw a standard-issue longsword on the screen.
This is not an ordinary longsword, but a European noble sword, a swift needle sword used by medieval nobles for duels, and a precursor to modern fencing.
The Swift Sword has a thin and long blade, and its speed is extremely fast. It requires great agility and footwork coordination. Although it looks like a highly offensive weapon, it is not without defensive capabilities.
Qin Nan looked at the pictures on her phone, then at the Tang grass in front of her.
She finally realized that Tang Cao's decision was probably not sudden; she must have already chosen her weapon and future development path long ago.
This noble swift sword looks similar to Tang Zijun's knight's sword.
They truly are siblings.
Originally, Qin Nan wanted to recommend that Tang Cao choose a spear or scythe, a weapon for charging and slashing, but seeing Tang Cao's own choice, she immediately dismissed the idea.
Spears and scythes are indeed very destructive and can be considered as a combination of offense and defense, but those weapons are large, heavy, and their agility is nowhere near that of a swift sword.
If Tangcao wants to move towards a more agile and flexible style in the future, then the Swift Sword is indeed a very good choice.
"Since you've made your choice, I won't say any more. What we'll be training you on next is the weapon you've chosen."
Qin Nan returned the phone to Tang Cao and continued, "You are now at the Red Rank. The Rainbow Crystal Flower's demonic seed has manifested. Once the seed sprouts and you reach the Orange Rank, you will be able to construct your own magical armor."
"Huh? We have to wait until orange level?" Tang Cao's mouth dropped open.
"Otherwise, do you think this thing is simple?" Qin Nan shook his head. "The magic power required to construct the magic armor is enormous, and only after the seed sprouts can you imprint the magic armor onto the rainbow crystal flower and establish a connection."
"Hmm... okay then." Tangcao bit her lip. "So what should I do now?"
"I'll ask Lao Chang to find you a national-level fencing coach. As for now, just focus on mastering your previous techniques and observing the moves!"
Changing the subject abruptly, Qin Nan raised his hand and thrust it straight at Tang Cao's neck. Tang Cao reacted quickly, instinctively stepping back to create distance between herself and Qin Nan, narrowly dodging the attack.
"Not bad." Qin Nan smiled and walked straight over without stopping.
Tang Cao finally understood Qin Nan's intention. She took a small step, and the two of them began to fight each other without transforming.
This isn't a professional training room, and the floor can't withstand the cutting of two magical girls, so they can only choose the most basic method, but it works quite well.
"Sister Nan, how could you launch a surprise attack? That's a foul! A foul!"
"The enemy doesn't follow any rules." Qin Nan pressed closer to Tang Cao, each strike aimed at Tang Cao's vitals. "Don't just think about dodging, try to find my weakness."
"Look," Qin Nan said, turning to look at Xiao Hui.
"Little Grey, you're in charge of Little White."
"Understood!" Little Grey flapped its wings and sneered at Little White, who was dozing off not far away.
Hearing Qin Nan and Xiao Hui's words, Xiao Bai was instantly wide awake, her eyes widening in disbelief. "No! Is there anything I need to do here?!"
"Of course, since Tangcao has made her choice, you, as a spirit beast, naturally can't stand idly by." Little Gray flew into the air.
"I...I don't know that footwork!" Xiaobai took two steps back.
"If you don't know how, you can learn."
Little Grey chuckled wickedly, its eyes filled with jealousy.
"Well, what can you do? You were just so lucky to awaken that kind of magic that's practically a miracle..."
