Chapter 1: Departure
Crossbell Station.
Yu Tatsumi was wearing a rather gorgeous dress, which looked like a white undershirt, but a black crow was embroidered from the shoulders to the chest, and at the end of the short sleeves, several pieces of cloth extended like a crow's feathers, forming a structure that looked like tassels and sleeves, and he was wearing white pants and sneakers that were easy to exercise, and it could be seen that he still attached importance to comfort as always.
He brought almost nothing with him. Those are all things outside the body, and when the time comes, just find a rental house with your own furniture. In this world, as long as you have money, there is no need to carry too many salutes. What's more, the current You Chensi doesn't even need assassination props. That's combat power that can only be described as terrifying.
The drug itself is extremely malleable, but Joachim is a researcher and doesn't understand combat very well. Aneste, on the other hand, was dominated by his mad impulses, and only thought about revenge with brute force, but he didn't think of developing his abilities.
Beside him, Rui was dragging a small suitcase. Inside are her clothes.
At the station, the support section was seeing him off, and everyone was talking about things that didn't have much nutrition.
"Speaking of which, don't you feel lost?"
Randy teased maliciously.
Today's send-off Noelle did not come. When she returned from the hot springs, she returned to the garrison...... No, back to the Wehrmacht reported. It seems that the rank remains the same, and he is still a sergeant.
However, Mi Leiyou was promoted by one rank, from warrant officer to third lieutenant. Unfortunately, she is now suffering and confused because she attacked the IBC building as an enemy, the side effects of most of the security team taking Shinchi, and whether she should be promoted like this.
But that's not about Yu Tatsumi. It's all Randy's question.
"Noelle, you say? No, I was happier when she didn't come. ā
You Tatsumi responded to him with a smile.
It's not like it's choking. What attracted You Chensi was Noelle's businesslike and meticulous character. If she is the kind of person who can give up her job for the sake of her boyfriend, You Tatsumi will be angry instead.
"Cut~ I don't believe it."
Randy grimaced at him very childishly. It always feels like Randy is getting younger and more childish. Ellie sighed, but was a little amused.
The childish Randy is much better than the seemingly cheerful Randy who actually doesn't want to say anything.
"Speaking of which, Youjun, did you come too early?"
Ellie confirmed the timing of the train, and the train to Erebonia was still three hours away. No matter how you look at it, You Chensi came too early.
"Nope. If he had, he probably wouldn't have been able to ride the car. ā
Lloyd replied to Ellie with a wry smile as he spoke, gesturing to the empty railroad tracks.
"Huh? Are you going to ......?"
Ellie was taken aback by the whimsical idea.
"Bingo. I'm just going to run along the railroad tracks. It feels faster than in a car. I was able to test the limits of my speed and endurance by the way. ā
You Chen said nonchalantly, and at the same time showed a bright smile to them.
He doesn't think of his body as a human being at all now.
Back then, his body was human, but his heart was twisted. Now, his mind is like a human being, but his body has become a monster. It's a change that I don't know if I should be happy or not.
"Brother You is really keen to study himself."
Tio sighed meaninglessly. If I have to say it, this relationship is more akin to jealousy.
As a researcher, though not the human body, you can't ignore what you don't know. Especially when there is a living "unknown" dangling in front of him. To be honest, Tio wanted Yu Chensi to stop and let himself study his current body.
No, no, isn't that the same as the doctor (Joachim)!
Theo quickly shook his head to dispel the thought.
"Of course, the power you want to use must be fully mastered."
After chatting a few words, You Chensi looked at the time and said with a smile: "Don't stay here, everyone, I'm leaving." There are quite a lot of things. And if I don't leave......"
You Chensi didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood. From the moment I started, I could feel that there was always some piercing sight in the hall.
Probably spies sent by the surrounding countries. I want to confirm if Yu Tatsumi really wants to go to the empire.
The Speaker made perfect use of a card called [Yutatsumi]. Let him claim his identity and focus all his attention on him. Although it has been a year, the crimes he has committed are enough to endanger everyone in the surrounding countries. Especially at the top.
Whether it's a real comeback or a simple impostor, it's impossible for everyone to ignore him.
The world of politicians, after all, is still dominated by moderates, although there are some parliamentarians who rely on luck in everything and do it first before speaking, it will definitely not be them who can be at the top.
Finding out the identity of Yu Tatsumi has become their main goal.
And at this time, the Speaker of the Amendment will make every effort to develop the politics and economy of Crossbell. Let it become a country capable of independence as soon as possible.
On the one hand, it is necessary to take advantage of the psychological shadow and uneasiness brought by the Dā“G Order to the people before it dissipates, and on the other hand, it is necessary to take advantage of the reaction of the surrounding powers, seize the front of these two factors, and build a complete security system and political system.
After listening to You's words, everyone's expressions were a little gloomy again, and finally they nodded, and watched You Chensi jump off the railroad tracks with Rui in his arms.
In another moment, You Chensi's figure had disappeared.
This guy is faster.
āāāāāāāā
Lakeside City [Legam]
This is one of the most beautiful places in the Erebonian Empire.
Of course, Yu Tatsumi has set his goal here, and the reason is very simple.
One of the strongest swordsmen in the empire, known as the [Swordsman of Light], is the ruler of this city. The title is viscount.
This is also what was agreed with Olivier in advance. Yu Tatsumi will come here to fight him first.
Not an assassination, of course. It's just a simple fight.
Yu Tatsumi's true knowledge can replicate the fighting styles of the characters he knows, in other words, the more martial arts he knows, the stronger his combat effectiveness will be.
To use poker as an analogy, Yutakami can turn his hand into a card he knows at any time. It sounds like a thousand out of nowhere.
There is such a thing as hole cards, the more the merrier. With this belief in mind, Yu Tatsumi decided to first learn the martial arts of this swordsman and keep it firmly in his heart. This is one of the important reasons why Yu Tatsumi is determined to come to the empire.
The situation in Crossbell is not optimistic, although Rubacher has fallen, but the Black Moon, the Society, and the Karumen Consortium are still entrenched here like monsters. For the fierce battles that may come in the future, Yutakami must see more and stronger ways to fight.
Moreover, this is also taking into account the question of the timing of espionage operations.
Spies will certainly monitor their own movements. That's why You Chensi chose to be the first stop here. Their own speed is fast, but to what extent, these spies certainly don't know. So, a question arises here. How long does it take for You Tatsumi to reach the imperial capital after he departs from Crossbell? Moreover, is his goal the imperial capital?
You can't let the Spy run around the railroad at the same speed.
In the midst of this, there is a short gap in time. You Tatsumi will use his well-honed stealth skills to infiltrate the martial arts training ground next to the Viscount's Mansion and then fight him.
The martial arts training ground is very large, like an old-fashioned dojo, and it is made of wood. If it was in the past, on the polished floor, there should be boys and girls in Taoist uniforms constantly waving their training swords in their hands. However, today, in the middle of the venue, there was only a blue-haired man in a cyan coat standing on the stage like a martial arts ring.
He looked like he was in his forties, simple and elegant, but with a beautiful two-handed sword that was almost taller than others on his shoulder, the deterrent power of a warrior was revealed.
"Are you here? It's pretty fast. Much sooner than I expected. ā
He greeted the ceiling boldly, and You Chensi knew that he had been discovered, smiled apologetically, and jumped down with Rui.
"Victor? His Excellency Viscount S. Arsside, it is really a bit rude to come here rashly. ā
"Hehe, you're not from the empire, so you don't need to pay attention to this. His Royal Highness the Prince has already told me about it. I'm looking forward to it. To what extent can you use the fighting style of other swordsmen? ā
Although he has achieved the position of viscount, the swordsmith of light, Victor, still maintains a dignified attitude like a warrior. It can be seen that he doesn't like power, and accepting You Chensi's challenge is purely out of curiosity about unknown enemies.
This kind of martial artist role is too rare. A fellow swordsman, the Sword of the Wind Saint Arios was taken around the world by the guerrillas' mission, while the Sword Saint Cassius had to deal with a heavy and numerous military work.
You Chensi knew very well that what to say to this kind of person was a waste of time and a betrayal of his clear fighting spirit. So he nodded and took a wooden knife from the shelf in the martial arts arena. As soon as his body turned, he was already dressed in a black coat like a crow, and the wooden knife in his hand had also turned into a huge oriental-style sword.
Silver.
In the face of a great sword master like the swordsmith of light, the first battle ability that You Tatsumi chose was silver who also used a big sword.
"Hmm. So...... It's on! ā
