[0178] Traditional arts
Taliyah was a little confused as to what the purpose of this kind of training was—could it be to train herself to do two things at once or three things at once?
Blinking her eyes, Taliyah decided to practice the technique of drawing a square with one hand and a circle with the other hand.
However, Yasuo stopped her from practicing.
"Wrong focus, little sparrow." Seeing Taliyah intending to focus on practicing multitasking, Yasuo immediately shook his head, and then picked up the stone again, "You must weave this stone into a dagger, and then
to start practicing, and every time the stone changes back, you have to stop for two minutes and then start again.”
That's right, what Yasuo wants her to train is not to do two things at once. What Yasuo wants her to learn is how to maintain her control over spells while maintaining concentration!
Yasuo could see clearly that Taliyah's problem was never "not knowing how to cast spells", but judging from her hand-weaving stone skills, her control over the stones was already amazing.
What Taliyah needs to learn is how to use her talent to maintain control over the stone and treat this control as instinctively as breathing!
The training of multitasking itself is not to let Taliyah learn to multitask. It is just a means to attract Taliyah's attention. What Yasuo wants her to learn is to maintain her focus even when she is highly focused.
Own spell control!
No one would forget to breathe because of concentration, and the stone weaver's control of the stone should be as normal as breathing!
This is Yasuo's goal!
The speed of the giant tortoise is very slow, slower than ordinary people walking - but its steps are very steady, and there is no vibration in its body with every step.
Taliyah was sweating profusely on this safe turtle's back.
Drawing a square with one hand and a circle with the other is really difficult.
And it is even more difficult to keep the daggers weaved by yourself without causing problems.
The most difficult thing is that every time the dagger turns back into stone, Taliyah has to stop for two minutes, completely forgetting the feel of the last training and starting from the beginning.
For a whole day, Taliyah went from sunrise to sunset, making no progress in her multitasking.
Instead, she was able to control the dagger for longer and longer during practice.
This is undoubtedly what Yasuo wants to see most.
This training lasted for three full days - during these three days, Taliyah's dreams were always a square and a circle.
And with this unremitting training, she finally figured out the doorway a little bit. By the afternoon of the third day, the entire afternoon, the dagger had not turned back into stone.
On the morning of the fourth day, after Yasuo woke up and climbed up from his turtle's back, Taliyah, who was watching the night, stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, proudly raised two daggers, and then drew an edge with her left hand.
A clear square shape, and a flawless circle drawn on the right hand.
"I did it!" Taliyah looked excited, "I can do two things at once!"
"Well done." Yasuo took the two daggers and carefully examined the patterns on them, which were even more exquisite than before, with a smile on his face. "Besides, even if you concentrate on studying, you won't cause any spells."
The continuous spell failed or was forgotten!"
"That's right!" Taliyah obviously understood Yasuo's purpose at this time, "In the future, at least I don't have to worry about the stone bench I made hurting others——"
"So, you should go to sleep now." After taking off his blindfold and putting it on Taliyah's head, Yasuo helped her back to a resting position. "There is still a lot of training, so don't stay up late next time."
When Taliyah woke up, it was already sunset. She ate something in a hurry, and then looked forward to Yasuo.
"Master!" Taliyah looked excited, "What should I practice next?"
"What's the next step..." Yasuo reached out and touched his chin without a beard, "Here, weave these three stones into a round ball - there should still be patterns on it, and the more delicate the better."
Taliyah nodded and easily turned the three pieces of gravel in Yasuo's hand into three beautiful balls.
"And—have you ever learned to juggle a ball and toss?"
Juggling a ball and throwing a ball?
The next moment, Taliyah watched in stunned silence as Yasuo showed off how to throw and catch for her - three stone balls flew in the air and between Yasuo's hands.
After a round of show, Yasuo handed the stone ball to Taliyah.
"Now, you have to learn this - remember, in addition to making sure that the ball is still a ball and has patterns on it, every time the ball falls, you can't bend down to pick it up, it has to come back to your hand.
inside."
"No problem!" With the experience last time, Taliyah was still full of confidence this time, "I promise you can learn it soon!"
Looking at Taliyah who started to throw and catch training with a confident face, Yasuo leaned back comfortably in his position and finally showed a satisfied smile on his lips.
Hey hey hey.
Don't tell me, although Elder Suma is petty, his teaching level is still guaranteed!
……………………
After losing too much, Graves stopped playing cards with Drizzt - he watched all of Taliyah's training, and then while Yasuo was resting, he elbowed the guy next to him.
Drizzt.
"What are you doing?" Drizzt yawned widely, "Want to play cards again?"
"If I play cards with you again, I will be like a dog." Graves curled his lips, "What I want to ask is, when you were learning magic before, were you the same as this little girl? Why have I never seen you draw a square with your left hand?
, draw a circle with your right hand, and I’ve never seen you perform throwing or catching a ball?”
At this moment, Drizzt looked at his gay friend, as if he was looking at an idiot.
Unfortunately, Graves didn't feel offended at all, and even felt a little enthusiastic - Yasuo's pass and ball pass just now was so smooth, like a clown in the circus, it would be great if Drizzt could do it...
"Are you an idiot?" Seeing that Graves was not aware of the crux of the problem, Drizzt only felt that his heart was so tired. "These are just appearances - what about drawing a square with the left hand, drawing a circle with the right hand, and so on?"
Catching the ball is just a trick to attract attention, no different from saying tongue twisters between casting spells——"
"So, you can't draw a square with your left hand and a circle with your right hand?" Graves' tone was full of undisguised disappointment, "And you can't pass the ball?"
"Won't!"
"Oh." Graves grinned, lay back in his seat, hesitated for a moment, and then added, "Then - you know tongue twisters?"
At this moment, Mr. Drizzt had self-doubt.
Is this seemingly heartless guy in front of me his life-and-death best friend?
