Chapter 54: One Face (Two in One)

Later, the students in that cold weapons class recalled that it was a battle like a lion and tiger gladiatorial fight, when the two opposing people moved at the same time, a vicious wind rushed in all directions, and every student raised their heads and felt suffocated, and couldn't help but retreat again and again!

Caesar's speed is beyond everyone's imagination, only a few people can see his process from zero explosion to full speed, the distance of less than three meters is shortened to zero in half a blink of an eye, this is a rush attack, but it is completely in line with the art of first and first, although he moved, but the sword is still hidden in the robe, he has always maintained a step ahead!

This kind of knife hiding method is mostly seen in the Assasin assassin technique, the assassins are always good at hiding weapons on their bodies, and never show the edge of their weapons at the last moment, they can hide daggers, shurikens, poison needles, and of course, they can also hide a bamboo sword! The core point of the Assasin genre, which has been dubbed the assassin's killing technique, has never changed, that is, killing with one blow, hiding the knife, rioting, killing, all in one go!

Miyamoto has always misunderstood a little, Caesar is not just a noble son with a blood advantage, the Gattuso family's reputation in Italy has always been based on the half-race family, and Caesar, who is regarded as the future in the Gattuso family, has also studied the art of killing, and all his teachers are the leaders and the strongest of any school, in other words, Caesar Gattuso has been trained by the top tacticians since he was a child!

With the best bloodline and the best fighting qualities, can this knife be successfully hit?

When everyone was sweating, Lin Nian blinked his eyes, but his eyes were on Miyamoto Yixin's body.

The head of the kendo department has been in and out of Kassel Academy for more than three years, and has experienced hundreds of big battles and small battles, and the actual combat and theory are compatible and cultivated, so it can be said that there is anyone in this room whose actual combat experience can exceed the average by several times, and that can only be Miyamoto single-mindedly.

In the face of such a swift attack, Miyamoto's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and Caesar's limbs were clearly reflected in his pupils, and now even if water splashed on his eyes, he would not close them for a moment!

When the distance between the two was reduced to zero in an instant, Miyamoto was moved, he did not choose to draw the sword but quickly retreated to dodge, because Caesar's bamboo sword was still hidden in the dark, and no one was willing to give up the opportunity, and both of them were waiting for the moment when the other party revealed his flaws.

If this is a wide place, then it will be a tug-of-war, but due to the position problem, Miyamoto is the side with his back to the wall, and it is only five meters away from hitting the wall, and it is only a matter of a split second to cross these five meters at the speed at which they pull the distance!

Miyamoto stopped his steps backwards the moment before he was about to hit the wall, and he changed his short body to his right hand with a sword in one hand, and swung a horizontal slash with the momentum of opening a mountain and splitting stones!

The first to come out with a sword was actually Miyamoto Isshin!

Caesar did not hesitate to go down to dodge this horizontal slash, the strong wind swept over his head and even carried a few strands of blonde hair flying, he pulled out the hidden bamboo sword and launched an attack, the chosen means of attack was a straight stab, the target was directly aimed at Miyamoto's heart!

At this time, the students in the gym let out an exclamation, and even Lin Nian couldn't help but marvel.

But they were not amazed at how swift Caesar's stabbing was, but shocked at the genius of Miyamoto's single-minded response.

Perhaps most people know that Caesar's speed and strength are endowed by the 'A' bloodline, but Miyamoto Isshin, an exchange student of the Japanese branch, is also a rare 'A' class hybrid! His strength and speed are no worse than the former! And the actual combat experience is also several times that of the former!

Suddenly, Caesar was focused when he heard the wind coming towards him, and he instantly moved his gaze that locked on the other party's heart, and a bamboo sword appeared in the afterglow!

A bamboo sword that could never appear here and slash at him!

Miyamoto was so focused on slashing that he was short and dodged the air, how could he swing a second blow again at this moment? Could it be that the other party hid two bamboo swords?

The ghostly bamboo sword slashed at Caesar's left neck, and he twisted his hand to roll sideways to force the stab to a block, and a slash as heavy as Tarzan slammed into the bamboo sword, knocking him flying, rolling on the ground three times before stopping.

"Good response!" Miyamoto's loud praise resounded throughout the gym, this is not a mockery or a provocation, in a competitive arena such as basketball or football, no matter whether any side plays a good ball, the spectators and even the opposing parties in the court can't help but praise it, this is pure appreciation for excellent skills!

Caesar held the bamboo sword and half-squatted on the ground, his eyes locked on Miyamoto's heart, but he didn't find that the other party had two bamboo swords in his hand, so how did this bamboo sword swing out?

"It's a feint." Lin Nian on the side couldn't help but say the answer.

From the perspective of a bystander, it was very real, Miyamoto Yixin put his right hand empty at the moment of the horizontal slash, and the bamboo sword fell into his left hand with the traction of gravity, and his right hand was slashed out horizontally with the air in a virtual hand, but even so, everyone was deceived in an instant, and felt that Miyamoto Yixin really held an invisible bamboo sword, and fiercely slashed the air above Caesar's head and made a sharp whistle!

It was at this time that Lin Nian suddenly recalled why he made a "avoidance" action for no reason when he first saw Miyamoto Yixin at the banquet in Ample Pavilion that night, because he instinctively felt that this Japanese man had "swords" against him, and his brain chose to dodge without reacting! This is also why Miyamoto single-mindedly calls Lin Nian a "savage", because only a savage who lives in nature can be keenly aware of all murderous and threatening things.

Caesar, who had opened a distance of several meters, looked at Miyamoto Yixin without saying a word, even if he was the person concerned, he felt for a moment that there was really a sword above his head that had been cut over, and if he didn't squat down to avoid it, his head would definitely fall to the ground, but in fact, the real first blow of the other party was the oblique slash that fell into the bamboo sword in his left hand, straight to Caesar's neck.

The first came first, and finally fell from Caesar's hands to Miyamoto's hands.

"Excellent, outstanding." Miyamoto stared at Caesar as if he had found a treasure, believing that of all the enemies he had ever encountered, there were fewer than a few people who could block the sword, and in that case, after avoiding a false slash, his opponent would focus all his energy on himself, and would ignore the fatal slash from his field of vision.

But Caesar reacted, and he managed to parry the sword and bring the situation back to a draw!

"How did you notice my second sword? I think this sword was in your blind spot two-thirds of the way before. Miyamoto asked, holding the bamboo sword in one fell swoop.

"Voice." Caesar answered Miyamoto's question for the first time, and it was the first time he had a "conversation" with Miyamoto Ichishin.

"The sound of the wind when the bamboo sword is swung?" Miyamoto understood: "In that case, you can actually rely on the wind to judge that there is danger on the side?" And without hesitation, he gave up the attack that he thought he was going to kill and turned to blocking? ”

"Sight can deceive, but sound doesn't." Caesar stood up and re-antagonized himself with Miyamoto: "Go on. ”

"No need." Miyamoto didn't raise the bamboo sword on his side: "This game is a draw." ”

"It's because of the draw that we have to continue." Caesar frowned, maybe he could tolerate regression in other things in life, but in terms of fighting, his pride would never allow for a 'draw', at least the person who 'draws' with him should also be his fierce rival recognized by Caesar Gattuso! But it is clear that Miyamoto is not yet worthy of the status of his rival.

"This is a cold weapons class, not a private fight after class, and you are not the only student." Miyamoto said calmly.

Caesar paused for a moment and glanced sideways at Lin Nian and the other students who were watching, and after a moment he put away his bamboo sword and turned around and walked away: "Let's find a time after class." ”

"Willing to accompany." Miyamoto smiled heartily.

The first duel between Miyamoto and Caesar Gattuso ended in a draw, and no one felt sorry for it, because the duel itself was extremely exciting, and the game of the 'first-first-first' snatch in an instant, after winning the unfavorable side's move, would inevitably be killed by Caesar or Miyamoto if anyone else in the gym was replaced, and the two of them were the only ones who could force the situation to such a situation.

"There's one more challenge." Miyamoto looked at Lin Nian intently, and the smile on his face rose even more.

Even Caesar Gattuso surprised him like this, so how wonderful should Lin Nian be used as a meal?

"Is it my turn?" Lin Nian pointed at himself, and after seeing that Caesar on the side had indeed lost his will to fight, he nodded and stepped forward with a bamboo sword.

"At the banquet that day, Lin Niansang left a deep impression on me, and I will kill you as a real enemy." Miyamoto held a knife in his heart, looking at Lin Nian from a distance of three meters, his eyes full of calm.

"Please advise." Lin Nian didn't say anything, stood straight at his side with the bamboo sword in his hand and bowed ninety degrees.

Caesar, who was standing by the wall and leaning against the wall, glanced at Lin Nian's hands and feet, and found no trace of trembling, he was not nervous or afraid, his muscles were naturally relaxed, he couldn't help but nodded, and his expectations for this duel were a few times higher, because he asked himself that even he was not in such a good state in the previous duel.

Miyamoto saw Lin Nian's actions, and also put down the bamboo sword and saluted: "Please advise." ”

Lin Nian raised his head, held a knife in the middle, and his face was peaceful, this was a habit developed in the exhibition match of the Children's Palace, for him, the gym, the bamboo sword, the kendo, the current scene is like another exhibition match to make a living, there is no tension and no excitement.

Everyone looked at the opposing Lin Nian and Miyamoto with anticipation, if memory serves, this is the first actual battle of the 'S' class students in the Kassel Academy, what will be the result? Lose? A draw or a surprise win?

But in any case, this is sure to be a very exciting battle of the dragon!

"In practice, I don't like to be the first to be the first too much." Lin Nian said: "So I'll attack first." ”

After saying that, Lin Nian took a step forward.

"A medium cappuccino with less sugar, a small cup of mocha with toffee."

In the café, the blonde waiter, with a fastidious smile on his face, placed two hot drinks in front of the two girls at the table.

It was half past ten in the morning, and Lin Xian and Mandy were sitting in the café and spending a good morning.

"Mandy, I'm sorry to break the bank again." Lin Xian, on the right side of the wooden table, moved the cappuccino in front of him.

Mandy picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee and waved her hand: "Where, I originally asked you to come out for coffee, and it is not too late for you to invite me for a drink when the school pays the salary at the end of the month." ”

"That's a deal." Lin Xian smiled and nodded.

"Actually, I came to you for coffee today mainly to ask you a few questions." Mandy churns coffee with one hand on her cheek, looking sideways at the Christmas tree erected in the café, where several couples and students in school uniforms sit under the tree, listening to soothing piano music in the café and holding drinks.

"What's the problem?"

"It's about Lin Nian." Mandy looked back, "Didn't I tell you about the war practice class before?" ”

"Ah, that's what's wrong? Is there any news new? Lin Xian concentrated on staining the latte art on the cappuccino.

"Hmm... Well, I overheard some information from my mentor about this freshman war practice class. Mandy nodded.

"Came to me for a special trip, could it be that this course is more dangerous than before?" Lin Xian looked up.

"Yes." Mandy said: "Tutor Manstein said that recently the executive department has discovered an assignment that is very suitable for the war practice course, and this course is likely to be advanced, I don't know exactly what the task is, but the instructor mentioned that it is likely to be practiced!" ”

"Freshmen also want to participate in actual combat?"

"It's hard to say, because it's related to how the executive department assigns the positions of the freshmen in the mission, but it is certain that there will be a few freshmen who may come into contact with dangerous people in this assignment!" Mandy's eyes were full of worry: "The junior brother is now sure to participate in this war practice class, I am afraid that his 'S' level bloodline is too obvious, and the executive department will put him in a dangerous position." That's why I want to remind you to get ready... Various preparations. ”

"You mean... Fight practice? Lin Xian stopped stirring the flowers in his hand.

"Yes." Mandy was reluctant to say the word "combat practice", because she knew all too well what the specialists were dealing with in the Enforcement Department's mission, and it was not something that could be brought about when students came into contact with such a frivolous word as 'fighting'.

Perhaps the word 'fighting' is more appropriate for the current context.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xian shook his head and said, "That's probably nothing to worry about." ”

"What?" Mandy froze.

"He's always been good at fighting." Lin Xian blew the latte art and carefully took a sip of cappuccino.

"No... It's not something that can be reassured if you fight well. Mandy rubbed her temples, thinking about how to euphemistically convey the "danger" she was trying to convey.

"To be honest, I'm really worried about him, but there is one thing to say, that stinky boy doesn't seem to have suffered a loss in conflict with people, at least I know that he has never lost so many fights without telling me before." Lin Xian put down the cup and exhaled: "Didn't you all use the word 'excellent' to describe him when you recruited him?" I thought you knew a lot about him. ”

"We use the word 'excellent' for all of our mixed-race students." Mandy couldn't help but take the initiative to uncover the ugliness of the admissions office: "Anyway, I know that the little junior brother just has more developed motor nerves and reacts faster." ”

"How fast?" Lin Xian asked.

"How do I know that?" Mandy shook her head.

"I know." Lin Xian sighed: "You know, I've actually been against him learning kendo. ”

"Why? Isn't he still able to barely make ends meet by learning kendo and reduce your previous financial pressure? Mandy was puzzled.

"If you've been with him for a few years, like me, you'll probably know what I'm thinking, and for a while I was against him learning any self-defense because I thought it was too dangerous." Lin Xian turned his head to look at the stone paved road between the green forests of the academy outside the glass window and said, "Danger to others." ”

"This." Mandy was a little stunned.

"Because there are times when even I can't help but think that my brother is not hiding under his skin, but a monster." Lin Xian stared blankly at the messy colors in the cup: "Is it for him to learn kendo, sanda and other skills for self-defense?" Every time I think it's dangerous for him to go out with a bamboo sword... For him, further training is a danger – the danger of one day missing and killing someone. ”

"Little junior brother is really so... Dangerous? It was difficult for Mandy to associate the handsome and harmless Lin Nian with the word monster.

"It's very dangerous, extremely dangerous, so I once asked him to endure it when he is outside, and avoid it, because we should be more worried about the lives of the people who conflict with him than worrying about him, because no matter who stands on the opposite side of Lin Nian, he will be absolutely threatened by his life!" Lin Xian said softly.

"But everyone in our academy is not an ordinary person, so you should also understand what a half-breed is for so many days? Don't look at me so slim, I can touch the basketball hoop when I jump with all my might! Mandy puffed out her biceps muscles and explained.

"Of course I know the physical condition of your half-breeds, and I have been referring to relevant literature and papers in the past few days, and there are many reports and papers in your library on the physical limits of half-breeds." Lin Xian nodded: "I admit that you do have a very amazing physical fitness compared to ordinary people, and compared to ordinary people, you are almost crushed in all aspects... But this is limited to ordinary people, Lin Nian is an exception. ”

Mandy was stunned again.

Lin Xian shook his head and looked directly into Mandy's eyes: "IMHO... From what I know about him, most of the half-breeds in this academy are almost weak in front of him, no different from ordinary people! ”

"No, do you have some misunderstanding about half-bloods?" Mandy was anxious: "Take me as an example, I am a black belt in karate, and I have also studied kendo, and I took 'A' in the cold weapons class in my sophomore year, imagine if I take a real knife against my junior brother..."

"You're going to die." Lin Xian said.

"I—" Mandy choked.

Lin Xian nodded calmly and said, "You will be killed, one photo." ”

*

Ceiling.

Miyamoto saw the ceiling.

Why do I see the ceiling? Miyamoto pondered this question in a state of confusion.

Oh yes, because I'm lying on the ground, that's why I see the ceiling.

After a long time of brain chaos, Miyamoto finally figured this out.

There was silence in the hall, no one reacted to what was happening, and everyone stared at each other blankly.

There was only one person who could barely see what was happening, and that person was Caesar.

Caesar looked at Lin Nian standing in the field in a daze and Miyamoto Yixin who was lying on his back on the ground, and his mind was rapidly restoring everything that happened in an instant just now.

Lin Nian stepped forward, and then Miyamoto fell in response.

Step, fall to the ground.

Wait a minute... What about drawing a knife? What about the process of drawing the knife?

Caesar retrieved his memories again, piecing together all the images he had just seen, but there was still no movement of Lin Nian pulling out his bamboo sword and slashing people.

Lin Nian stepped down, and then Miyamoto fell to the ground, this is the whole process he saw.

Including the students in the entire hall, no one saw Lin Nian's actions clearly, even if it was the previous duel between Caesar and Miyamoto, they could understand it and exclaim, but in the current duel, everyone was silent and did not make the slightest sound.

Because no one understands how this battle began and how it ended.

Lin Nian stepped down, and then Miyamoto fell to the ground, and the process in between did not exist as if it had been deleted.

Spirits?

No, no one can release the spirit of speech under the 'precepts', it is a law that everyone knows.

Then only one explanation seems to work.

Speed, extreme speed.

That's faster than all the hybrids present can see! In this extreme speed, Lin Nian made a move, hit with a sword, and then Miyamoto fell to the ground with one heart.

Coldly, many people looked at Lin Nian in the field and thought of another person - Hilbert Jean Angers.

Known for its speed, it's as fast as a ghost.

If what happened in that moment just now was really because of speed, then what was the difference between Lin Nian and the invisible ghost now?

Maybe what happened at that moment just now, only Lin Nian himself knows.

"I just drew my sword and slashed." Lin Nian looked up and found the blankness on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but explain.

Then he looked down at Miyamoto, who had a red bar left by a bamboo sword on his face, bowed seriously and said, "Accept." ”

Miyamoto was silent for a moment, then one stood up and took a step back, bowed, raised his head, and stood up again to hold his sword.

"One more sword." He said.

"Then another sword." Lin Nian nodded, and then held his sword.
