The rules of the battle are very simple, each chooses the on-site kuinke as their own weapon, and knocks the opponent's kuink into the air or causes more than three damage, which is considered a victory.

Although it is to cause three damages, it must not be fatal injuries, after all, this is only a training battle.

Having said that, Hiiragi also thinks that if the opponent is the strongest investigator in front of him, just hitting the opponent once is already a victory, right?

However, Arima did not have the slightest intention of releasing water, but made a fairly equal rule, but it was quite unequal in the eyes of outsiders.

Hiiragi is just a rookie first-class investigator, but Arima, who is an opponent, is an experienced and talented special investigator, and no matter who knows the difference between the two.

In the manga, even the rampaging Kaneki only cut Arima a little, not to mention ordinary people like Hiiragi who have no other advantages except for ability.

Of course, at that time, Arima had their own exclusive Kuinke IXA and Narujin, and now they use ordinary Kuink.

The two of them walked to the training ground, and the people who were originally training and testing stopped and began to run to the side to watch this unsuspenseful training battle.

Even the other investigators who were working stopped and some went to the underground training ground to take a look.

Glancing at Arima, Hiiragi also walked towards the weapon rack where Kuinke was placed, and Arima also walked over directly, and without thinking about it, he casually picked up an arm-long knife.

I always feel underestimated, Hiiragi thought the same, and found something special about Kuink.

The average Kuinker is lethal and attackable. However, the Kuink, which Hiiragi also chose, is a shield type.

"You seem to be a bit conservative. Nangong first class. ”

"Because the opponent is Matt and others. So I wanted to last as long as I could, so that I wouldn't get killed in an instant. ”

"I'm not as good as you think, but I'm just good at fighting."

Having chosen Kuink, Arima took off his suit and hung it on the hook at the entrance, then rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and pushed his glasses.

"Can we start?"

"Please let me drink first."

Hiiragi also walked to the place where water was provided, where several female investigators were discussing something, after seeing Hiiragi pass. I handed the disposable water cup to Hiiragi.

"Thank you very much."

I took the cup and poured a glass of water, and the cold drinking water was easier to calm down than the tea just now.

After drinking the water in the cup, Hiiragi also walked to the center of the training field.

This training ground is about the size of a basketball court, no, bigger to be exact.

When Arima entered the arena, an iron wall was erected to prevent the battle from spreading to the surrounding area.

Looking at the shield on his right hand, it was a somewhat black-red shield with sharp thorns on the shell. It's very hard, and it should be able to withstand the next attack of Arima.

Arima is not using his own Kuink. Then the combat effectiveness is definitely not as strong as before.

In addition, Arima's chosen Kuinkk is not long and his attack range is not far, so as long as you keep a good distance from Arima, you can greatly reduce the chance of being hit by it.

Hiiragi also chose the Kuinke shield for a reason.

In addition to being conservative, it is also to prevent Arima's sudden attack, so that he will not immediately fall into passivity.

And this shield actually has some lethality, and the attack range can be said to be farther than Arima's knife, and Hiiragi can be regarded as having a certain advantage from the beginning.

Having said all this, everything just needs to be proven in real combat.

A countdown number appeared above, and when the red number changed from three to zero, with the sound of the system's sound drop, the simulation battle between the two sides began.

Hiiragi, the first person to act, said that although the shield is armor, it is not impossible to use it as a weapon.

When Arima saw Hiiragi, who had started charging at the beginning, he held a knife in his right hand and aimed the tip of the knife at Hiiragi.

"A frontal assault, a very courageous approach."

“………… I don't think there's any chance of playing tricks on me. ”

Hiiragi also observes Arima's every move.

The distance between the two is only about ten meters, and even Hiiragi quickly closes the distance between the two people.

The shield in his right hand braked with his right foot, and he used his inertia to unleash a hand-like attack, and the shield slammed forward.

Arima's gaze fell on Hiiragi's shield, and he leaned slightly sideways, swinging his knife diagonally downward.

The red light of the Kuynk collision flickered, and the main core of Hiiragiya's shield strike, which was the shield as armor and weapon, was redirected by the blow of the knife.

Seizing this opportunity, Hiiragi also leaned forward, supporting his body with his right hand and shield.

This action allows Hiiragi to fly past Arima's side and kick Arima's calf with his left foot.

Yes, Hiiragi also intends to use this means to bring down Arima.

"It's too slow."

Arima's movements were not over, and he jumped up directly.

Hiiragi doesn't think Arima's way of dealing with it is correct, after all, there is no way to borrow power in the air.

"Piercing."

Kuink, which Arima held in his right hand, suddenly became several times longer in the shape of a knife, intending to pierce Hiiragi's foot.

"Why?!"

In order not to let his feet be impaled by Kuink, Hiiragi also curled up on the way.

The sudden change of movement caused Hiiragi to lose his balance and roll forward.

Without the slightest stagnation, Hiiragi immediately stood up and moved to the right as soon as Hiiragi tried to stabilize himself.

The blade flashed, and Arima's knife pierced the ground where it had just been.

"Why are there Matt and the others who are able to use the special ability of the Kuinkke that they just got??"

"You can hear it."

Arima walked towards Hiiragi.

"What do you think needs to be paid attention to in battle?"

While walking, he asked questions, and Arima's action made Hiiragi keep backing away.

The opponent's Kuink's ability is to extend the blade by a certain distance. So it's not a good way to distance yourself.

You need to establish an advantage in melee combat.

"It's not about learning to observe each other. It's about getting yourself used to the fight. ”

Arima let out a sigh. And then......

"Are you used to it?"

Instantly rushed to Hiiragi's eyes.

Subconsciously raised his right hand to block the left side, and Arima's horizontal sweeping sword strike caused Hiiragi to fly out.

Without giving Hiiragi a chance to breathe, Arima directly caught up with Hiiragi who was flying in mid-air.

The enemy approached, and Hiiragi took off his coat directly on the way.

He threw his coat at Arima, and smashed his shield into the iron wall no more than half a meter away.

The sound of steel grinding was extremely harsh, but it made Hiiragi stop.

Arima cut Hiiragi's coat with a knife, and Hiiragi took advantage of this opportunity to approach Arima's face.

It's an uppercut!

With a shield and hit Arima's chin.

"Let's take it!"

Because Arima's vision was blocked just now, he didn't notice Hiiragi's actions at the first time.

The tip of the shield stabbed Arima's neck. Even if it's a simulated battle, Hiiragi doesn't plan to keep his hand.

Just when this attack will be successful......

Bite!

The blade of the Kuink, which Arima holds, resists Hiiragi's shield.

"Your actions are too simple, but it's a good way to respond on the fly."

Holding Kuinke under his neck, Arima's left fist struck Hiiragi in the stomach.

I can see the other party's actions.,For this reason, Hiiragi also chooses to fight hard with him.。

The left hand clenched into a fist and swung out, and the fists of the two men were about to collide.

"Piercing."

Arima uses Kuink's abilities, but the target of the piercing is not Hiiragi, but the wall next to it.

The blade sank into the steel, and with the force of the recoil, Arima spun sideways for some distance. Dodge all of Hiiragi's attacks.

"You're very good at playing against people and trying to analyze them."

After dodging Hiiragi's attack. Arima, who said this, waved Kuinke in his hand again.

Raising his shield to resist, Hiiragi was smashed into the air again.

As he hit the wall, Arima came in front of him.

Linked to the swinging knife-shaped Kuink, which fell on the shield and staggered attack and defense, Hiiragi also tried to calculate the pattern of Arima's attack.

Everyone has their own habits, and this habit will affect their combat moves.

"See!"

Arima slows down after every three attacks, and this action is to allow himself to adjust the pace of the battle.

Seizing this gap, Hiiragi lunged forward and grabbed Arima's belly with his left hand.

"What do you see? Close-quarters combat is not something armor-wielding people are good at. ”

Because, the person who has the armor will have priority over defending against the opponent's attack.

"So you'll only see enemy attacks."

Arima's right knee kicks Hiiragi in the abdomen.

"Ahem!"

“————！”

From the leg force, Hiiragi was kicked away in an instant.

Flying in the air, the pain in his stomach kept Hiiragi's consciousness awake at all times, his right hand shook like a pendulum, and the shield he was holding was thrown out by Hiiragi as a throwing weapon.

But the shield that had just flown out had not yet produced a certain impact, and it was grabbed by two fingers of Arima's left hand.

"It's not a good choice to use your armor as a throwing weapon."

"Huh!?"

Just before Arima planned to hit again, Hiiragi also chose to read the file.

——

The purpose of reading the file is very simple, that is, to see if you can restrain Arima if you can predict Arima's actions.

This time the file read was a kind of being kicked by Arima in the first few seconds.

The whole world seemed to be quiet, and Hiiragi was also concentrating on all of Arima's actions.

Because Hiiragi also knows the relationship between Arima's next attack methods, he can use this opportunity to change his actions and dodge Arima's attack and fight back.

Rushing forward, Arima dodged Hiiragiya's shield blow after dodging Hiiragi's shield blow, and kicked Hiiragi directly in the abdomen.

You can see it, and it's clear.

Hiiragi also knows the advantages of his ability, and if he doesn't grasp it well, he will definitely be at a disadvantage in the face of a strong enemy.

Making use of everything you have now is the only thing Hiiragi can do.

Arima is not fast, and Kuinke is not as skilled in using it as expected.

I knew Arima's attack in advance, and Hiiragi's momentum weakened on the way.

In the field of vision, the knee of Arima's raised right foot appeared in front of him.

Attack Arima's side with his shield to draw his attention, and then use it to kick him with his left foot.

The foot and knee collided, and Arima's attack was blocked this time.

The reaction caused by the impact caused each other to retreat, and Hiiragi threw the shield in his hand as before.

Bang!

The shield hit Kuink, who was lifted by Arima, and Hiiragi sprinted out with all his strength as his feet hit the ground.

"Not bad judgment."

"First blow!"

Hiiragi also took advantage of the gap caused by Arima's push by the reaction force and the shield just now, and smashed his right fist out.

Because they are facing each other, it is easy for Arima to see Hiiragi's purpose.

Even in the midst of all kinds of unfavorable situations, Arima still made the right judgment.

As he said before, Arima is used to this fight.

Hiiragi, who has no weapons, also faces Arima, who has weapons, and attacks from both sides come at the same time.

"Yes!"

Arima was slightly taken aback, and Hiiragi's right hand was impaled by Kuinke of Arima.

The point turned into a real battle, at least that's what Hiiragi did.

The pierced palm caused the Arima weapon to lose its potential energy, and Hiiragi also seized the opportunity to crash into it.

Boom!

There was a crashing sound in the quiet training ground, Hiiragi fell backwards to the ground, and Arima swayed slightly and stepped back.

"What just happened?!"

"Did Matt and the others get hit?"

"Although that person was a little messy, and Matt and others didn't do their best, it's the first time I've seen it!"

Looking at the ceiling, Hiiragi suddenly noticed a characteristic of Arima.

Plain face of battle, but he has always seen humans as different creatures from meows.

What if humans do the same thing as the meows?

Regardless of the damage, go forward.

"It's a messy way of fighting, but it's over."

Arima came to Hiiragi's side and didn't give Hiiragi a chance to get up, and Kuinke put it on top of Hiiragi's head.

"You've lost."

"Hmm...... Painful to death...... Sure enough, it's impossible to defeat Matt and the others. ”

"Your original purpose was to defeat me?"

Arima, who was looking at Hiiragi, put Kuinkk in his left hand and stretched out his right hand, while Hiiragi grabbed it with his left hand.

Even if he continued the rules just now, Hiiragi would have no chance of victory.

"Let's go bandage it."

"I see."

Hiiragi didn't plan to read the file either, and he was very happy with the result.

Walking to the exit, Arima called Hiiragi, who was about to leave the training ground.

"You're excellent."

was complimented.

The people around began to talk, I don't know if they were talking about Hiiragi or Ma Guijiang, or if both of them were talking.

They all clearly saw that someone had injured Arima, even if Arima's skills had not been shown.

The strong won, but the weak is not a defeat either.

Of course, Hiiragi doesn't have any thoughts of being happy, but at least he doesn't feel distressed and frustrated by failure.

He understands that no matter how strong a guy is, there is a possibility of defeating him. (To be continued.) )
