The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth-Chapter 474 Player Vs Player Class

A group of students stood in a training hall before a battle ring. A middle-aged man was teaching them.

He had a good physique for a swordsman; he had muscles, but they didn't make him bulky. He was addressing the group of students before him.

His black hair was tied back in a ponytail, while his sharp gray eyes fixed on the audience.

A group of fifty students was before him, primarily boys. This was the first batch of new students to join the university.

"Welcome to the PvP fighting class. It was canceled the previous week due to an emergency. I will compensate for it by extending this call to two hours." He said.

"Everyone, focus now. I will teach you the basics, but you should always remember them."

"The first lesson is finding rhythm," he said. The students were confused. What was he talking about? They have joined fighting class, not music class.

"From Rythm, I mean the flow of the moves. The Rythm of the Battle"

"The battle is fought in a rhythm. Your moves and your opponent's moves follow a rhythm. Collectively, they make the rhythm of the battle."

"You need to know that you have to understand your opponent's rhythm and then attack him and catch him off guard by changing your rhythm."

What he said made sense to some, while others were not able to understand. "But sir, how can we change our rhythm?"

"To change your rhythm, you first must understand it; after you know about it, you can change it," replied the professor.

"You should also avoid attacking the opponent who knows your rhythm, as he will be able to take advantage of it."

"Always remember, you have to use your wisdom to attack." He spoke in a higher tone. To make sure everyone understands how important it is.

"Sir, when do we have to attack?" asked one of the girls.

"Catch opponents off guard by changing rhythm constantly; this will force him to change his rhythm."

"You must strike the interval when the opponent shifts to a new rhythm."

"Striking, interval, and counterbalances between rhythms are the keys," he added.

He taught them other things and taught them how to recognize the rhythm. He then taught them how to control it.

"See, you can make it fast by throwing some attacks rapidly. It will force the opponent to make his rhythm faster."

"Now that you understand it, I want you to learn about 'Switch.' It is a way to confuse your opponent."

"Switch: Perform techniques with different intervals; do the unexpected. Break your rhythm for a moment."

"This will create confusion and allow you to strike your opponent. It will also help you make it harder for your opponent to study your rhythm."

He called two students, and with their help, he taught them how to use 'Switch' in fights.

He then taught them about the other technique.

"The next important thing is 'Faint Attack'. It is something simple and complex at the same time. Blending it into your attacks will make it harder for the opponent to dodge them."

"If the opponent retreats as you are about to attack, feint a strike and follow up with a second cut as he is about to relax after parrying the first attack."

"Sir, What do you do when you are being attacked?" asked one of the students at the back.

"Repel him with superior intensity when he moves in to attack. He will change the cadence of his assault. Capture the moment when his rhythm breaks as he changes it and secure victory."

He then taught them some more before giving them some pro tips.

"When the opponent you face quickly tries to back away, disengages his sword, or tries to press yours,"

"At this point, inflate your form and spirit, move forward first with your body, then with your sword, and cut him with the conviction as if you were enveloping him in torpid water."

"Keep in mind that cadence can't be mastered without practice. You will fail countless times, but once you can learn it, you will become a formidable fighter."

He taught them this in the whole class, helping each student and asking them to duel with each other and try to apply what he had taught.

Most failed, but he saw some bright ones who could apply his tips and easily defeat their opponents. The one that impressed him most was the boy with silver hair and purple eyes.

One more day had passed very quickly. Rishi was already busy with college life, but he was happy for the next class. He taught in the training hall and waited patiently for the professor.

"Today's lesson is 'All Things are Infectious', from yawning to drowsiness to other things. You can use them to contaminate the opponent's mind by exhibiting listlessness, hesitancy, or weakness."

"Infecting your opponents with negative emotions and thoughts is very important if you want to suppress them."

"In the case of individual combat, it is important to beat your opponent by doing something unexpected with your body, sword, or voice to startle him."

"Just be sure the tone of your voice matches your rhythm."

He then watched as students faught against each other and trained to apply his tips; everyone was improving constantly.

All were able to somehow read their rhythm, and now everything said by the professor makes sense to them. They were excited to learn more.

Time passed by, and this calendar took place on alternate days of the week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

In each class, the professor taught something interesting. He did the same in the Friday class.

"Today's lesson is 'Seize the Initiative'; the more proactive you are, the more inactive your opponent will be."

"Taking the initiative is the quickest way to victory, so you should always take the initiative in your fights."

"Sir, is this really that important?" asked one of the students.

"Very important. Taking initiative is the art of forcing a reaction out of your opponent. By doing it, you force him to react to your will, which can in fact be called making them dance at your fingertips."

"'Seize the Day', this is a famous quote. It translates to simply taking initiative, as the one who takes action is always at an advantage." 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

He continued giving them more tips.

"Attack first, take the initiative, and be in a good position."

"Defending, parring, or dodging means you are acting on your opponent's actions."

"Sirm, what do you do when you are forced into a defensive position?" asked one of the boys.

"Good question: If you are in a defensive position, show weakness and force your opponent to attack where you want him to before seizing the initiative."

"When your opponent attacks, stop it at the A; when he leaps back, stop him at the L; when he tries to cut, nip it in the bud at the C. It is all done with the same mind."

"The moment your aim is to suppress your opponent's move, you are already losing the initiative."
