Chapter 11: The Village of Boshga,
"'Psionic awakening' usually requires human intervention, like us nobles generally go to the temple to receive grace and then turn on psionic energy, and I have seen this for the first time. ”
In the large room, Manro is explaining to Rare and Yoro about the ability called "Psionic Awakening".
In the swordsmanship conference, a large part of the reason why Dye Qi was able to defeat Satters was also because of this. At that moment, Dye Qi's sword attack turned into psionic swordsmanship, something that only high-level swordsmanship could do.
"Spiritual Energy Awakening", which also means that Dye Qi has the qualifications to be able to study high-level swordsmanship.
Yuro has no interest in such a thing as "psionic awakening", all she hopes is that Dye Qi can wake up soon. She prayed for it every day, and it seems that from the end of the race, she believed in the power of prayer.
It's been three days since he was in a coma.
With serious injuries and awakening, the days of dying Qi's coma may continue.
"Miss Yoro, please go back and get some rest. ”
Manro patted Yoro, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, knowing that the girl hadn't slept well in days.
"It's okay. ”
She replied with a smile, but her tone was tired and haggard.
"Prepare something for her. ”
Manro looked at Riel to the side, who nodded knowingly and left the bedroom.
Because Dye Qi's injury was too serious to continue to participate in the competition, Manro helped her apply for retirement as the spokesperson of the Charles family, although he did not discuss with Dye Qi in doing so, but if he was allowed to participate in the competition, he would definitely die in the arena.
The top four opponents who fought against him should be said to be lucky or bad. Although he managed to advance, he had to face the Marvar family's Marvar Dinger.
In the entire Makar Xia, except for his own son, he is almost the strongest existence in the city. At this time, the insurmountable high standard among his peers, even Manro, was not sure that he could defeat this man.
Today was the day of Dinger's race, and it was the last race of the convention, and Manro said a few words to Riel before heading to the ring. He wondered where that familiarity in swordsmanship came from.
Riel enters the room after preparing the food, but Yuro doesn't seem to notice him at all.
"Please eat something, your body will collapse if you go on like this. ”
Riel handed the food to Yoro.
"Thank you, I'm not hungry. ”
Yuro doesn't seem to have much of an appetite.
"I wouldn't be happy if I woke up and saw you like this. ”
Riel knows that Yuro's physical condition is not good, and if he doesn't take care of it well, I'm afraid something will happen.
"In that case..."
When Yuro heard this, he picked up the cutlery on his plate.
"I got moving. ”
"Uh. ”
Riel didn't expect that moving out of Dye Qi would be so effective for her, and even surprisingly effective.
"I'm full. ”
After a few days of not eating properly, Yuro sorted out the dishes and handed them to Riel. Riel is also amazed at how much a girl can eat. But it's also a matter of course.
"Drink some water. ”
Riel poured her a glass of water, presumably after eating, thirst was inevitable.
"Thank you. ”
Yoro took the cup, she hadn't drunk water since morning.
As if desperately dehydrated, Yura swallowed all the water in the cup into his stomach in one go. But after a while she felt a little dizzy in her head, as if something had been put into the water to sleep on.
"Young Master Manro has asked me so, I hope you will forgive me. ”
Riel opened the door, and several maids immediately carried Yoro out of the room. For the sake of her body, this is also a choice that has to be made.
Manro, who was in the ring, was planning to watch Dinger's fight.
Even after reaching the finals, Dinger didn't have any armor equipped, and even the sword was the most common of the officially provided ones.
Do you want to make it more difficult?
Manro thought so.
"Finally, the two strongest players of the year were born. ”
The narrator said excitedly.
"First of all, let me introduce the first contestant: Hill, son of a fallen nobleman. ”
Under the narrator's introduction, a boy with short black hair walks out of the waiting area, wearing a cloth shirt emblazoned with the family crest of a nobleman, but Manro has never seen it.
"Despite the decline of his family, Hill still learned his powerful marksmanship, and this indomitable spirit is worth learning from. ”
Declining aristocracy...
Aristocrats who have lost their value to the empire will be ruthlessly discarded, as Manro knows all too well.
His mother was like that.
"Next up is our big dark horse, His Highness Marwar Dinga. ”
"Your Highness..."
It's okay to please the aristocracy, but it's counterproductive if it's too explicit. Manro smiled wryly and shook his head.
"As we all know, Lord Dinger is the strongest young swordsman in Bencheng, and he has studied family swordsmanship since he was a child. ”
"That's it. ”
At this time, Dinger suddenly spoke up. The narrator was a little stunned, but still bowed down and let Dinger walk out.
"I'm not here to listen to. ”
Dinger seemed very sure of the purpose of his trip.
"Please get started. ”
"Yes, it's game on. ”
The Witnesses did not intend to disobey the orders of the nobles, and immediately ordered the game to begin. Although it happened suddenly, the enthusiasm of the audience was completely ignited.
Hill is in a good position, distance is the most important thing for those who use the spear, if it is close, then the gun will not be able to exert its full strength.
What's more, the opponent is a terrifying monster.
"Can you tell me why you participated? ”
Dinger asked.
"Do you still need to ask, defeat you and win glory for the family. ”
"yes, that's a boring reason. ”
In an instant, the sword aura shaved off the sideburns on the left side of Hill's face, and Dinger had completely rushed in front of him.
Hill hurriedly withdrew his spear and swept it at close range. This is also one of the ways to use the spear, although the head of the spear cannot attack the opponent, but it can finally open the distance.
"You seem to know how to use psionic skills, let me see. ”
Voices came from behind.
"When!"
Hill turned and swept away, but Dinger had pulled away.
Putting himself in the position again, the spear in Ciel's hand began to glow with a dazzling red light, the psionic skill of high-level spearmanship. He also knew at this time that if he didn't use all his strength, he would not be able to defeat this monster.
Dinger, who saw Hill get serious, smiled, just as he expected.
"Let me have fun. ”
The sword in his hand shone with a dazzling pale golden light, illuminating the field like a small sun.
The guns and swords collided, and the red light and the golden light blended with each other, but then they were engulfed by the golden light and turned into colorless particles. When Manro saw all this, he couldn't help but be amazed.
"It's!"
The swordsmanship he is all too familiar with,
Imperial High Rank Swordsmanship [St. Molit Stream]
Originally, they thought that this was a swordsmanship that their Shire family was qualified to learn, but now it seems that this is not the case. Dinger on the field seemed to notice Manro's surprise and turned his head to look at him.
"It's not just the Charles who can learn St. Mollet's. ”
"Impossible, the lone book of swordsmanship, obviously..."
"Are you stupid, there will be no facsimile of a book that has been circulating for so many years. ”
Dinger was frustrated by Manroe's ignorance.
[St. Molit Stream] This level of swordsmanship is likely to appear in facsimile copies when it is inherited. Although these facsimiles record some of these swordsmanship, they are undoubtedly the highest level of existence.
"Father..."
Manro seemed to understand why he wanted to let himself watch the game.
In the castle of the Mavar family, Dye Qi finally opened his eyes, but the scene in front of him was still a little blurry, coupled with the burden on his body caused by the "Spiritual Energy Awakening" and the serious injury to his left arm, so that Dye Qi could not stand up at the first time.
"I'm here..."
As he thought about it, blue light filled the sword and his body, and unprecedented power poured out of his body, destroying everything in front of him.
"yes, I won. ”
Dye Qi closed his eyes again with peace of mind.
But what is that power. And why, I can master this power myself.
"If you ask Manroe, you must know. ”
"Yes, the young master must know!"
Riel's voice was heard, and he was carrying a silver basin filled with cool ice water.
"Really, it's a worry for us. ”
Although Riel complained, he still helped Dye Qi change into a new towel.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that. ”
"It's okay, it's just that Miss Yuro is suffering. ”
"What's wrong with her?"
"I'm worried about your injuries, I haven't slept or eaten well for days and nights, and the maids just took her away. ”
"yes, it's bothering people again. ”
Dye Qi was a little reluctant to go, because Yuro's physical condition was not very good, and he would definitely be unbearable if he took care of himself like this.
But it was useless to apologize, Dye Qi took off the bracer of his left hand, and there was nothing of value on his body.
"Got it, for Miss Yoro, it's a shabby gift. ”
"I know without complaining. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Riel shook his head helplessly and left with Dyeqi's bracers.
That's all there is to it.
Dye Qi closed his eyes again, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep now, these few days were too exhausting for him.
Manro returned to Marval's castle at dusk, but he also thought a lot along the way.
What a gaffe it would be if the people of the Charr family, who were proficient in the [St. Mollet's Stream], were defeated by only a small number of people from the Marval family, who were of the same lineage of swordsmanship.
I have always thought that I have occupied the strongest ranks among my peers, but today I see that this is not the case. Dinger's swordsmanship, to be honest, is not of the same magnitude as himself.
That kind of high concentration of spiritual energy, and skillful mastery skills are not comparable to themselves.
"I'm still a lot worse now. ”
Manro looked at the long sword at his waist, it was the sword that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Shire family, the sword of the Heavenly Maiden.
"I can't bury the glory of the family. ”
When the girl opened her eyes again, the sky had completely darkened, and a light rain began to fall outside the window, and she rubbed her eyes before she remembered that she had fallen asleep.
A dim light shone through the curtain of the bed on the girl's face.
The maid walked into the room at the right time, holding Yuro's daily clothes in her hand.
"I've been taken away by Master Manroe and Mr. Riel. ”
"yes, it's gone. ”
Yuro felt a lot of emptiness in his heart, but he couldn't stop others from leaving.
"By the way, here's what Mr. Dye Qi left for you. ”
"Huh?"
Yuro took the thing wrapped in cotton cloth and opened it to see that inside was Dye Qi's left wrist guard. Although the surface is rough, the inner ring has been polished smooth and comfortable.
"Mr. Dye Qi is very grateful for your care of him, this is a gift from him, although it is not a good product. ”
"I know, but that's enough. ”
The girl buried her bracers in her chest and hugged them tightly, with a happy smile on her face.
"We'll see you again in the future, right?"
"That's what you're saying. ”
Yoro got out of bed and looked out the window, and the galloping lights in the field in the distance must have been where he was.
"I suddenly have a dream. ”
"Yes?"
"I want to be a swordsman!"
