Peasants Take Arms

Louis spread the news around about forming a squad for the Countess.

A squad that would be trained personally by the Hero.

And an elite squad of the Countess that had given them a home.

Naturally, a lot of people showed up.

........

On the first day, they were tested on various different aspects.

First came sword training. The people here fought violently, swinging their swords around without much consideration.

Louis taught them stances and basic moves. Moves such as lunges, the different styles of slashing, and how to defend against another opponent.

After they got the first moves down and started to learn, he made them fight each other.

Experience was the best way to learn how to fight, even if it was only a training match.

This is when Louis noticed that five people had ability that surpassed the others.

They quickly adapted and become proficient with the sword.
