111 Senior Holy Knight and sunny country [2]





 The instructor, Don Golug, who was in a fighting stance, looked into the darkness that covered the training hall.

"...... What is this strange 'darkness'?

It's like a ...... 'soul-dressing gone wrong'.

 I replied shortly, keeping my eyes fixed.

I'm sure you've heard of ........ In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can contact us at the following URL.

 I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"Aaaaaaah! I'm not sure what to do.

 A spirited slash down from the top of the mountain.
 I grabbed it with my bare hands, which were covered in darkness.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

 The instructor's eyes widened in astonishment, but this was a foregone conclusion.

I'm sorry, but can you please take this seriously?

 That was a 'false blow'.
 This is a fake blow that was fired only to hurt me so that I would not be stunned and the game would not end immediately.

 It's not the same as a "real blow" like Shidou's or Idra's, where you just fire it to cut your opponent.

The next time, I will not hesitate to cut you.

 I told him briefly, and then let go of his sword.

I'll be sure to cut you next time.

 The instructor's face turned bright red and he jumped back.

"You little ......... You've got some nerve taunting me like that!

 And the next moment.

And the next moment, the Hilly Wind!

 A long, reddish-bronze sword appeared out of thin air.

(......)

 I'm not sure what to make of it.
 It's a power I'm struggling to master right now.

I've been trying to learn it for a while now. Hahaha ......! What do you want? Do you envy me? It's a power you'll never have, even if you try forever. ......!

 I'm not sure if you've seen this before.

 I didn't respond to his cheap provocation and stared at the soul armor.

(Wind and ...... that's sand.)

 If you look closely, you can see the wind and small grains of sand swirling around the long sword.

 Apparently, his soul armor allows him to control two kinds of power - wind and earth - at will.

(...... You have a good soul armor. It's just as well he's a senior holy knight instructor.

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

I was thinking that way when I heard ...... "Hey, you! I'll tell you the 'big weakness' of a failed swordsman who can't use his soul armor!

 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

"Is it ......?

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one. Sand Blast!

 The next moment he swung his sword down, more than twenty sand swords rushed towards me.
 With the acceleration of a gust of wind, they cut through the wind with the speed of a drawn arrow.

I'm sure ...... you're right.

 I'm not sure what to do.
 I'm not sure what you mean by that.
 I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that.

 It is their long range attacks and overwhelming number of moves that are difficult for a swordsman without a soul armor like me.

 But I've (・・・・) already (・・・・) dealt with that (・・・・).

"Dark Shadow.

 Darkness, as sharp as a blade, cut down the approaching twenty swords.

"What?

Good, good, good. ......!

 Three dark shadows, moving just as I had envisioned.
 This is a new technique I've developed, inspired by Dodriel's shadow.
 If you concentrate your mind, you can control up to four of them.

(The effective range is a little short at two meters. ......)

 It seems to work well as a defense against attacks with a large number of moves.

 After successfully experimenting with this new technique, I nodded to myself.

The instructor's eyes widened and he said, "What's with the high level of application?

 The instructor widened his eyes and pointed at my darkness.

"Haha. I like this one because it's quite versatile.

 So I ended the conversation quickly and leaned forward.

I leaned forward and said, "Well, I'll go first.

I'll cut you down with a single sword, ......!

 Hearing his reply, I took just one step to get into the killing zone.

"Huh!

How fast?

 He held his sword horizontally to defend against a kesa-kiri aimed at his right chest.

 But...

"Nooo!

 He couldn't catch the impact and was blown backward.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's wrong with your body.

 It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything that might help you.



 I'll aim for its landing and unleash a slash from a distance.

"The first sword, the Flying Shadow!

"Hmm, this kind of slash ...... won't work!

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

 But that's just the way it is.

"I'm sure.

What?

 I hid behind a large slash and closed the gap without being noticed at all.

 It's not a technique that is intended to do damage.
 It's an auxiliary move that can be used as a distraction, a check, or to adjust your timing.

 So I easily stepped into the killing distance, and unleashed my main blow.

Yatagarasu, the Eight of Swords!

 Just as the flash of my body weight cut through the air, the eight slashes bared their fangs.

"G-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u ......!

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Gah ......?

 Three of the shots he missed caught his right hand and both legs.
 The instructor's face twisted in anguish, he unleashed a messy big swing on the spot.

 I backstepped and evaded the attack with time to spare.

(...... The wound is deep.)

 I can't keep fighting with that leg.
 There would be no more 'fighting'.

 So I decided.

"It's over. Please admit defeat.

 I thrust the pseudo-black sword into his chest and announced this in a calm manner.

 And then.

"Don't play .......

 The instructor turned his face downward, trembling slightly, and said something.

"Is it ......?

"Don't be ridiculous! You're a little kid who hasn't lived half as long as I have, and you're talking ...... nonsense!

 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

 At that moment - a storm like a tornado blew around the instructor.
 And it wasn't just any wind.
 It was a deadly storm with grains of sand mixed in.

(...... That's a nasty trick.)

 I flicked my sword at the flying grains of sand and quietly observed the damage.

 The grains of sand, blowing at a tremendous speed, scattered in all directions - shattering the windows and gouging out the floorboards of the training hall.

 And that's not all.

"Ow, that hurts .......

Help me, please!

 It's not just that.

 It seems that they are unable to avoid the grains of sand that are flying around like rain.

"Hahahaha! If you want to hold a grudge, you can hold a grudge against that failed swordsman who made me take him seriously! Now then, here we go... Sand Storm!

 As the instructor swung his clenched fist at the hilt of his long sword, which he had stuck into the floor, a violent storm of sand and wind filled his entire field of vision.

 There was no room for evasion in this omnidirectional attack.
 The deafening sound of the sand grains crashing against each other stimulated my fear.

I had no choice but to turn on the dark output.

 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

 As a result.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

 Everyone in the room survived the sandstorm unscathed.

 With that kind of power, even a thin robe of darkness would be enough to protect them.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

 An indiscriminate attack by wind and sand.
 It will certainly be terribly powerful in a group fight, but it is not a technique for ...... individual combat.

You can't do that,....... I'm a third-rate swordsman. ......

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

It's over. Now, apologize to Leah.

 Just as I sheathed my sword.

"There's an opening! Kazan-ryu Okuyi: Hourakuzan!

 Suddenly, he stood up and unleashed a kesa-kiri full of murderous intent.

 It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.

(.......) I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm so excited about this.

 And then.

"The seventh sword: Shunsen.

 I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.

I'm not sure what to say.

 This time, he was speechless and quietly fell to his knees.

 At that moment - a round of applause erupted from the training hall.

That power is definitely ......! You're that Allen Rhoddle, aren't you?

You're that Allen-Rhoddle! If you'd like, you can teach me how to use a sword!



 I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

"Ah, ha ha ........ We'll talk about that later. ......

 I gritted my teeth and looked down at Instructor Don, who was kneeling down, after gently refusing their request.

"Instructor Don Golug, will you admit defeat?

 And when I asked him again.

".................. d*mn it. I'm ...... sorry ....... Please forgive me .......

 After a long, long silence, he made a simple apology.

 It's a good idea to take a look at the website of the company you're working with.

(haha .......) What should I do after this? (......)

 A battered training hall.
 An instructor with wounds all over his body.
 Me, unharmed.

(What should I explain to the people at the association ......? ......)

 So, I was involved in a big problem from the first day, and I had to worry about "post-processing" and "explanation to the association".
