- Am I stupid! What can a swordsman do if he is afraid of getting hurt!

Eugeo swung away the fear that had crept into his heart for a split second, trying to focus his consciousness on the sword.

Obviously, he could leave directly, but in response to Wimbel's provocation, it was himself who proposed to learn more. However, he was swayed by his opponent's words, and he was afraid of defeat, and he was too inferior to say anything. Once the sword is drawn out of the sheath, it can only be fought for with its own skills and strength, and then it will be handed over to heaven. This is the spirit of the so-called Ayn Grant stream.

— and I haven't done my best.

Without consciously appearing with a sadistic smile, Wimbel only had the wooden sword in his right hand in his mind. Feel the hardness and weight of the white gold oak material, the tremor on the sword and the weight of the tumbling on the arm, and feel the power of the disappearing Slant that comes from a subtle vibration.

It is necessary to make the sword one with itself. As a close friend, Yi Yan, who is also a master, often says this. It's still far from that realm, but I don't know if it's because of the daily air-swing training, and I feel like I'm occasionally hearing the sound of a sword. It's not over there, it's going to move like this, it's going to sound like this.

And now, Yugeo also has the feeling of hearing the whisper of the sword.

If you blindly take the other party's bottom-up tricks from below, it is inevitable that you will be cornered. You have to change your tricks.

"-Woo!" Suddenly, Eugeo let out a rare roar and began to move. Flip your right wrist and use the right side of the blade to catch Wimbell's sword. At this moment, Slant was interrupted, and his opponent's lightning slash burst into blue-black light and approached his right shoulder.

Instead of stopping the momentum, Eugeo slid his wooden sword and slung it over his shoulder. In an instant, the Essence of the Essence of the Alpha Grant Vertical launched—

Wimbell's sword touched the right sleeve of his practice suit, tearing through several cen blue fabrics. But at this moment, Yugeo's sword, which was wrapped in a bright blue light, suddenly pushed the opponent's sword back.

"Woo!" Wembell's eyes widened at the unexpected counterattack. The existence of Ain's Grant Stream's unique continuous technique, Wembell, they also knew about it, but they never expected to activate the secret meaning after the other secret meaning. Even Ugeo himself had no idea that such a thing could be done. It's just that in battle, the body moves naturally.

Wembell's sword was instantly pushed back more than fifty layers, and the light of the lightning slash disappeared without any struggle. Wembell's body was also greatly shattered, and his feet left the floor. But should this also be considered lucky-if he stood firmly, he would have been struck by Eugeo's sword in the left shoulder, and his whole body was floated by the power of the Vertical of the Mystery, and the whole person fell back more than three centimeters.

If Wembel had fallen to the ground like this, there was no doubt that the battle would have been won by Eugeo, but he scrambled to his steps, and refused to fall with great stubbornness. The body leaned back to the point where it could no longer lean back, maintaining a dangerous balance.

If he pursues it now, there is no doubt that he will win this time, Yugeo thought. But before he could attack again from the position where he swung his sword directly below, a high voice rang out in the training ground.

"That's it. This scramble counts as a draw. The person who uttered this line with a dramatic tone was of course Leios Antinos, who still had a thin smile on his red lips. Finally regaining his position, Wimbel shouted in a dissatisfied voice, "Rai, His Highness Leios! Lao Tzu, no, I'm ...... a draw with this hillbilly swordsman or something! ”

"Wimbell." The chair swordsman only called out his name in a steady voice, but the second seat immediately lowered his head. He shifted his sword to his waist with his left hand, placed his right fist on his chest and made a knightly salute, then turned around without waiting for Eugeo to return the salute.

Leos, who had taken Wimbel to the designated position behind the left, still smiled, glanced at Eugeo, and said while deliberately clapping his hands, "Your Excellency's rare moves have really opened my eyes, Eugeo Swordsman. After graduation, how about finding a job in a place like the Dili Quyi Troupe? ”

“…… Thank you for your concern, Swordsmith of Antinos. Although the Chairman and His Highness were omitted as the only counterattack, Lyos nodded condescendingly without even the slightest concern, and began to walk towards the exit. Wembell, who was following him, glared at Eugeo out of the corner of his eye.

Leos, who walked over with squeaky soft leather boots for practice, stopped when he was about to pass by Yugeo, who was still standing in the middle of the training ground, and whispered, "Next time, let me show you what the power of nobility is." ”

“…… Even now, I'm fine. After four hundred swings and a sudden scramble, Yugeo was honestly quite tired, but still spoke half stubbornly. But Lyos let out a sneer, and spoke in a smaller voice as she continued to walk out.

"It's not just swinging your sword around with a sword, it's fighting, junior with no surname." Behind the chair swordsman, who left the guttural voice of 'Kuku', followed by Wimbel with a fierce look. But he walked past him without saying a word. After a while, I finally heard the sound of the door opening and closing from the rear.

In the silence that finally came, Yugeo thought as he let out a big breath.

The power of self-esteem that comes from the nobility. The power I felt through the sword for the first time was unexpectedly heavy. If I had tried to do the next thing with Slant like that, I am afraid that I would have been crushed by now, and my right shoulder would have been shattered. As the sword tells you, the disadvantages of taking on the sword technique from below from the top are one thing, but it's not just that. It was the mind of Wimbel, who had slandered and belittled Yugeo as an inferior citizen, and restrained Yugeo's sword and body like a curse.

This time, it was thanks to the changing freedom of the Ain Grant stream, who can unleash the secret meaning from various postures, but in the examination competition that will continue in the coming year, you can't always win by surprise. There are times when you need to directly overwhelm the opponent with strength from the front.

Until then, the Ugeo must be found. Find something infused into the sword that can counter the bottomless pride of Wembell and Leios. Holding up the wooden sword still in his right hand, and gently stroking the cool blade, Yugeo whispered, "...... Thank you very much. I'll leave it to you next time. ”

As he put his sword back into his belt and began to walk out, a short bell reported the arrival of six thirty o'clock. Yi Yan, who was frantically tutoring in the dormitory, was almost hungry. Walking briskly across the white wooden floor and saluting to the deserted training ground in front of the door, Yugeo hurried to the dedicated cafeteria.

The Junior Trainer Dormitory has a fixed meal time, and there is no choice of dishes every day, but the Sword Cultivator Dormitory is very free no matter which side. It is open from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., but you can also ask the chef to choose your favorite from the several types of food that change every day. And not only can you eat in the cafeteria, but you can also take it back to the dormitory.

Luckily, Leios and the others seemed to have gone to the baths first, and there was no sign of other swordsmen in the cafeteria. As he walked to the window of the cooking room, he checked the contents of today's meal posted on the bulletin board. The main course seems to be a selection of grilled lamb, fried white fish, and stewed chicken meatballs.

…… Well, the main course was stewed chicken, followed by a large portion of raw vegetables with cheese, vinegared olives, and cold Hilal water. Quickly decided, and feeling powerless that he knew everything his partner liked to eat, Yugeo leaned out the window and screamed.

"Good evening! Trouble packing two servings, the main course is ......"

………

Although they entered a state of preparation because they didn't know how the other party would come to find trouble this time, it had been several days since that sudden competition, and Leios and the others still did not move.

That is, when the swordsman's dormitory and the central school building passed by, Wen Bell would glare at him with hatred, which was not a provocation at all. Although he told Yi Yan what happened in the cultivation field that day just in case and asked him to be more careful, it seemed that he had not been found at all.

"It always feels a little too weird...... I don't think they're the kind of characters who just follow the rules when they get a tie in a match. And Leios also said that he was going to trouble us......" Leaning back in the chair wrapped in old fabric, Yugeo tilted his head. Hearing this, Yi Yan, who was sitting opposite, picked up the pottery cup and said, "I also think that it is impossible for those guys to change their minds." But if you think about it, it's hard to think about what kind of crooked brains you want to do in this swordsman's dormitory. ”

He brought the unmilked Kafir tea to his lips and drank it with a very delicious look.

The tumultuous week has finally passed, and it's 9:30 a.m. on the eve of the break. I've done my daily practice, I've finished my dinner and bath, and if it's a weekday, it's time to go back to my room, get under the covers, and sleep without dreaming, but it's a rule to sit in the common living room and chat while drinking tea only on this night every week.

Yugeo also picked up his cup and licked the steaming black liquid inside, and couldn't help but wrinkle his face. My partner seems to like this kind of powder tea that is a specialty of the southern country, and he will make it every time it is his turn to prepare tea, but for Yugeo, it is a bit too bitter to drink it directly. He picked up the small pot, poured milk into the cup, and then stirred it with the spoon while urging Yi Yan to continue, but then Yi Yan suddenly asked a question.

"Hmm...... For example, what pranks did you play when you were a kid at Lulid's school? After taking a sip of the bitter taste and leaving only the incredibly aromatic Cafeld tea, Yugeo shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I'm mainly on the side of the prank." Yi Yan, you remember, right? At the festival before departure, I was challenged by the chief of the guards, Jin Gu. I was constantly in trouble with that guy. It's like hiding my shoes somewhere, putting annoying bugs in my lunch bag, and making a lot of noise when I'm with Alice. ”

"Hahaha, what children love to do is the same no matter what world they are in. There's no such thing as getting beaten, though, right? ”

"Of course." Giorgio widened his eyes and replied, "How could that be done?" Because ......"

"—The taboo catalogue is expressly forbidden. It is forbidden to deliberately reduce the destiny of others without having the reasons given by other projects'! But wait, is it okay to hide other people's shoes? Theft is also a major taboo, right? ”

"Theft is the unauthorized appropriation of something that belongs to someone else. The Window of Stysia indicates that the owner's sacred text is transferred from one person to another, and that it is necessary to carry the object with him or leave it at home for a full twenty-four hours. Therefore, even if the goods are given under the conditions agreed by both parties, they can be legitimately requested to be returned within one day; Even if you take it without the consent of both parties, as long as you immediately put it away from your own home, the owner certificate will not disappear and therefore will not constitute theft ...... - you must have forgotten this basic rule, right? ”

Yugeo stared at Yi Yan's face, who was Bekuta's lost passerby, and then his partner smiled with an embarrassed expression while scratching his black hair.

"Yes, yes, that's how it is. Naturally, I haven't forgotten, and naturally I ...... Uh, so to speak? So what's the point? In the story, isn't Belkuli, who wants to steal the Sword of the Green Rose from the White Dragon's lair, a violation of the taboo catalog? ”

"I mean, dragons aren't human."

"Yes, is that so......"

"Okay, don't go that far, although it is not taboo to hide other people's things, but if you put things outside a room where no one's room is located, then after a while, the destiny of the object will begin to decrease, so if you don't return it by then, it will constitute damage to someone else's property. Thanks to this, even if it is late, the shoes can always be found before the evening...... But what does this have to do with Leios and their becoming honest? ”

Yugeo tilted his head and asked, Yi Yan blinked blankly as if he had forgotten that he had provoked the topic, and then finally spoke, "Ah, yes, that's what happened." Well, this academy has its own long and smelly list of rules in addition to the taboo list. In other words, Leios and they can't enter this room, and all our personal belongings are kept here. If something important is placed unguardedly in a public place, it would be a different story......"

At this point, Yi Yan suddenly stopped for some reason, but immediately continued to explain.

“…… But we didn't do that, of course. Therefore, it is impossible for Lyos and them to do anything to our possessions like they did in Jingujun who bullied the petite and cute Yugeo boy in Lulid Village. ”

"Petite and cute is superfluous. Hmm——...... Yes. Although I had never thought about it all along, it was true that in this sword cultivator's dormitory, in addition to saying bad things, even if I wanted to make trouble with someone. ”

"And even if it's just bad words, if you don't get the right thing right, it will turn into rude behavior that is enough to exercise the right to punish." Yi Yan added with a grin.

The so-called power of punishment is based on the provisions of the academy rules, which only senior sword cultivators have, and is equivalent to the power of the instructor to exercise the power on behalf of the instructor. In the event that a student has a rude or other act of recklessness that does not violate the rules but cannot sit idly by, the swordsman may punish them according to his own judgment. Yi Yan, who pointed out this, still remembers vividly the fact that he was punished for putting a large piece of mud on the uniform of the former chairman, the swordsman Uro Libanting, and was given a punishment for conducting a first-strike decisive battle.

The right to punish swordsmen is basically something that is meant to teach elementary and advanced practitioners, but the academy rules do not state that the right to punish can only be applied to practitioners. In other words, it is theoretically possible for the swordsman to punish the swordsman, and this is also the reason why the bad words and provocations of Leios and Wembell are somewhat restrained compared to last year.

Seeing that Yi Yan's cup was empty, Yugeo poured another cup for him. After pouring in some milk, the partner slowly stirred the liquid in the cup. He deftly flipped the silver spoon with his fingertips, posing pensively, and then finally nodded.

"Since we can't do anything to the object, we can only come at us. In this way, the most convenient way is to come up with a first-strike tiebreaker and give us a try, but they and Yougeo have already tried this, and then it ended in a draw. And then the words, well, can you think of it...... The only way to do this is to use money to envelop me, and then turn around with Ugeo. ”

"Eh......" Yugeo reflexively leaked out a helpless voice, although he hurriedly closed his mouth, but Yi Yan had already said with a wicked smile on his face, dragging a terrific tone, "Don't worry, boy. My brother won't abandon you. ”

"I, I'm not worried about that! …… Still, it's okay to talk about money, but you don't know what happens if you're presented with a bunch of meat buns from Cero Restaurant. ”

"That's a real possibility." After nodding solemnly at Yugeo's words, Lin Yiyan laughed hahaha.

"Well, jokes aside, I don't think there's any need to worry about direct interference with possessions and with us." Speaking of this, Lin Yiyan suddenly tightened his face and continued in a serious voice. 10
