It was night, the moon was sparse, and the faint moonlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Luo Xiu lay quietly on his single bed tossing and turning. After a day of study, he should have been physically and mentally exhausted. But for some reason, as soon as he lay down in bed, all kinds of thoughts came to him.

"Ah~ The new campus life looks pretty good. I didn't expect to really leave Central College and come here. I don't know if Harold and they're okay over there, and Anna too. Will they remember me too? Forget it, call another day and say hello. He muttered to himself.

I didn't expect so many things to happen on the first day of class. That Force magic didn't look as simple as I thought it would be. But I think everyone seems to be at ease, so it's not just that I don't have the talent for it, right?

No, no, no, it's impossible, it's impossible, I realized it fairly quickly when I practiced swordsmanship, so there shouldn't be any problems in terms of talent.

Well, I still have to blame the old man, if he hadn't helped me buy the Force weapon earlier, I would have lost at the starting line when I practiced magic.

Yes, it must be so. All day long, you know that you are forcing me to practice swords...... Huh? By the way, since you can't sleep, it's better to just go downstairs and practice swords. Anyway, by the time of dinner, my sword had already been delivered.

With his mind in mind, he rolled over from the bed and jumped up, unleaning on the long strip of baggage at the desk.

Wrapped in a long strip of baggage is a peculiar Western-style long sword, the blade of which rests in a delicate hard sheepskin scabbard.

The reason why it is peculiar is that it has a longer body than a regular Kataite sword. But if you count it according to the length of a traditional broadsword, it seems to be a little shorter. And because the blade is slightly longer, the handle of the counterweight is also longer, and it can be easily held in both hands.

The sword has a slender cross gauntlet, which is beautifully crafted and consistent on the outside and on the inside, without compromising on practicality. Above the cross handguard is a specially made sheath (where the blade joins the hilt) with a slightly longer sheath and a pointed handguard protruding from it.

Luo Xiu slowly drew his long sword from the scabbard, and the sound of the sword was clear, and a cold cold light immediately flashed in the room. He stroked his sword, reflecting his handsome appearance on the smooth blade. The tip of the long sword is sharp, the sword body is double-edged, and it is extremely versatile, whether it is chopping or stabbing, it is extremely easy to use.

"I haven't seen you in a few days, my good fellow. Watch me take you out for a walk and get acquainted with the campus. ”

With that, he put the sword at his waist and left the bedroom.

In the dead of night, the dormitories in the North District at this time were slightly cold, most of the dormitories had turned off the lights, and there was no sound except for a few night birds occasionally flapping their wings and flying high.

Luo Xiu took advantage of the moonlight to come to the small garden in the dormitory area, where he planned to practice swordsmanship for a while to help him sleep. But what he didn't expect was that the small garden at this time had already been taken preceded.

“781、782、783。”

But I saw a young girl standing tall in the cold clearing, and the girl held her long sword high, as if she was doing some basic swordsmanship exercises repeatedly. Her straight waterfall hair shimmered lightly in the cold moonlight, and her hourglass-shaped figure is even more reverie.

"I've been watching it for so long, it's time to come out."

The girl turned her body around, and the sword in her hand flashed. Suddenly, a sharp sword light slashed towards Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu saw that her sword was fast, and hurriedly flashed sideways. But before he could explain, the girl's second sword had already been attacked.

Her body was like a ghost, and she had been deceived in front of Luo Xiu in an instant.

The sword slashed towards Luo Xiu with the reflected moonlight, and the blonde boy hurriedly pulled out half of the long sword from his waist before he could barely resist this move.

As the sparks from the two of them flew around, the two sides saw each other's faces clearly.

"It turned out to be Luo Xiu, forgive me for being rude before." The girl returned the sword to the sheath and said after letting down her vigilance.

"Akiyama-san, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come here to practice swords."

Under the moonlight, Akiyama Rin Mist's elegant and vulgar face was a little moving, and her skin was smooth and soft, and it could be broken by blowing. A pair of wonderful eyes seem to have aura, and when looking forward to it, it has an elegant and noble temperament.

"After watching your swordsmanship in the morning, I fully felt that my swordsmanship was quite inadequate, so I came here to practice when I couldn't sleep at night."

"Akiyama-san, you have a stunt of single-mindedness, so why should you be presumptuous."

"Luo Xiu, you have won the award. Although the outside world calls me a single-minded person, in fact, what I have learned is only a few small skills. According to the level that I have just reached now, I may not even be able to count as the fur of a real stream. ”

"I've heard an old man in my family mention it about Ichshinryu, and he said that Ichshinryu is an extremely superb school of swordsmanship. When the sword is drawn, pay attention to the harmony of the mind and brake quietly. It requires the user's heart to react to the enemy like a mirror, and to achieve one-hit defeat of the enemy in an unchanging manner, so it is named One Heart Flow. ”

He paused, and then continued: "This kind of realm makes me feel that this kind of realm is a great swordsmanship. Akiyama-san, you can get the level of Nakayu at a young age, in fact, you have already far surpassed all your peers. ”

"You seem to know a thing or two about our flow." Akiyama Rin Mist said.

"Of course, I have been learning swords with the old man since I was four years old, and I naturally have an understanding of the characteristics of each genre. As far as I know, the most powerful of your Mind Flow should be the Juhe Technique, after all, there is also a trick in the Old Man's self-created Three Songs of the Divergent Path that evolved from your Juhe Slash. ”

"Oh? Is it? Then I'd love to see it. By the way, when it comes to the Three Songs of Divergent Paths, I'm quite interested. I've never seen swordsmanship like this before, how can I describe it...... Treachery? Or do it as you like? All in all it looks special, but it's natural. And the 'Falling Leaves' you used in the magic training hall this morning, the concept of sensing everything with your heart, seems to coincide with my one-heart flow. ”

"Akiyama-san, you have won the award, the 'falling leaves drifting' in the morning is just a fluke for me, and I can't count it." Luo Xiu hurriedly explained modestly.

"Luck or not, I'd love to see your swordsmanship head-on. Otherwise, we'll have a discussion here. Anyway, you promised to duel me in the morning. Akiyama Rin Mist said with a serious face.

Luo Xiu saw the sincerity she said, and he didn't intend to refuse her for a while, after all, being able to compete with a master of Yixinliu also had countless benefits for him.

"This is a good proposal, so it is better to be respectful. It just so happened that I brought out the longsword that I had just shipped. ”

As he spoke, he slowly drew his sword from its sheath, apparently ready to engage with Akiyama Rinki.

"This sword of yours seems to be a bit unique, it should be a hand-and-a-half sword that has been rare in recent years." Akiyama Rin said after glancing at his unsheathed sword.

"I didn't expect you to know the type of sword, and the experts are really different."

Luo Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that she could easily tell the type of her long sword. In addition to being surprised, he also felt sincere admiration for the erudition of the girl in front of him for the sword.

"This sword is called 'Silent Sky', and it is a sharp weapon that I have used since I was a child, be careful."

Akiyama Rin Mist pulled out her sword from her waist, and she raised the sword with her left hand on top and right hand down, the tip of the sword pointing to the sky, and put on a mid-stage posture of Ichiri.

Her "Silent Sky" is a graceful curved sword, and the blue and black handle wraps around the blade, making it both beautiful and stylish. The blade pattern of the static space is in the shape of a three-book shirt, there seems to be a cold light flowing on the edge of the blade, the sword body is sharp, and the hair can be broken, which is obviously a rare peerless sword.

"I didn't expect that there are still people like me, who don't use powerful Force equipment, and just rely on the most ordinary swords as weapons." Luo Xiu sighed.

"Relying too much on Force equipment will only lead to a loss of judgment about the power of the sword itself, and as a Stream-of-minded person, I'm not going to use that kind of thing." Akiyama Rin Kiri explained.

Just as the two of them were about to take a stand, a dark shadow swept past the branch above them.

"Who?" Akiyama Rin Mist spoke.

The black shadow didn't pay any attention to the meaning of the autumn mountain mist, and still rushed forward on his own.

"Let's go along and have a look."

Luo Xiu beckoned Akiyama Misty and chased forward together. Now that he is a reserve cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he naturally can't ignore this mysterious black shadow that sneaks up in the dormitory area in the middle of the night.

The two tried their best to chase the black shadow, but unfortunately, the distance between them and the black shadow continued not to decrease, but was still being widened little by little.

"This guy seems to be heading to the East End, so we might as well split up and try to wrap him up." Akiyama Rin Mist said as he ran.

"Yes, you can, but how?" Luo Xiu asked.

"There are two roads from the North Side dormitory to the East District, one is the one we are under our feet now, and the other is the path on the hillside in front, wait until you follow her from behind, I will try to take a shortcut from the path to get in front of him."

"Okay, it's not difficult to walk overnight, so be sure to be safe when you go downhill."

"It's okay, I'll take care of my safety, but you must not lose it."

"Don't worry, although he is faster now, I think I should be able to at least follow him to the East End."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you over here."

Akiyama Rin Fog said goodbye and parted ways with Luo Xiu at the next intersection. If the two could not intercept it successfully, they would meet at the foot of the clock tower in the eastern district.

Luo Xiu followed the black shadow and kept moving forward, always paying attention to the movement ahead.

As the green belt around him was blown by the wind brought by the fast running, making a "huh" sound, he unconsciously followed the dark shadow in front of him and came to the east campus of Sea Breeze Academy.

"This seems to be the dormitory cluster in the East End. Did he slip away? ”

After entering the dormitory group in the East District, the black shadow turned a few corners in the corner of the dormitory building, and easily threw Luo Xiu, who had been following behind.

"It seems that this bag plan with Akiyama-san still failed, I didn't expect to be thrown away by that guy here so easily. Forget it, let's go to the bell tower to meet Akiyama-san. ”

Seeing that the black shadow had been lost, Luo Xiu planned to go to the bell tower first to meet the autumn mountain mist.

But at this moment, he instantly felt a breath approaching. Approaching him as a target, to be exact.

"Huh? There is a murderous aura. It seems that I, the hunter, suddenly became the prey? ”

The aura stopped moving when it reached his vicinity.

"Hey, I said...... Why don't you come out and show your face? ”

To show that he was not hostile, he did not put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist when he said this.

However, the "black shadow" lurking nearby did not intend to ignore him.

More precisely, the "Black Shadow" didn't intend to ignore him.

Because in the next instant, the guy who was lurking launched a surprise attack on Luo Xiu.

"Is it on it?"

Roshoton felt the wind above his head, and he instinctively jumped backwards, drawing his long sword from his waist with great fluidity, and assuming a defensive posture.

"Huh? It's so easy to dodge this trick. ”

The owner of the voice was naturally the "black shadow" that attacked Luo Xiu, but what Luo Xiu never expected was that the real identity of this "black shadow" was actually a girl.

But I saw that the girl was wearing a black sports jacket, and her medium-length silver hair was shining in the night sky like bathed in moonlight. She seemed to be the same age as Luo Xiu, but she seemed to be younger. Although the upright facial features are a little childish, there is a bottomless coldness hidden in the eyes......
