Chapter 212 - Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [9] (1/2)

212. Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [9]

Two hours after the start of the special exam. The hundredth opponent was just over.

「Haa, haa… Shit…」

「Are you all right?」

When I reach out to the examinee who was on his knees in front of me,

「Y-Yes… Thank you very much for the match!」

He said happily and bowed deeply.

Looking at this appearance, it seems that the healing of darkness is not necessary.

Unfortunately, there were still no successful applicants at this time.

Not one swordsman has been able to land a hit on me so far.

As I was thinking about what to do about it, I saw the remaining 200 students discussing amongst themselves.

「No, no, no. Isn’t he a little too strong?」

「『First-Year Strongest』is not just for show. It’s the same for simple swordsmanship, but above all, our physical abilities are levels apart.」

「And far from running out of breath, he has not even moved a step from there… C-Could we still change over to the general exam?」

They were secretly talking amongst themselves in whispers, while repeatedly glancing at me.

They’re most likely sharing my weaknesses and movement tendencies.

「Well then, the next one please.」

When I said that and encouraged the students, a female student stood in front of me.

「Exam number 2710, Lou Lorenti. Please go easy on me, Allen-senpai?」

「Aa, don’t worry.」

After a short greeting, I assumed Seigan no Kamae, and she pulled out two swords with a short blade.

(Is that a short sword? Even so, it’s rare to see a double-sword user.)

Lou Lorenti.

Light pink medium hair.

Lovely facial features full of charm.

She is a little short, about 155 centimeters tall.

Lean body figure, with young, healthy skin.

She is wearing a white uniform from some swordsmanship academy.

(…This girl is strong.)

She felt a little different from the rest of the examiness up to now.

I felt something like a unique『pressure』and『experience』.

「Then, here I come?」

「Aa, come.」

The moment I nodded, Lou’s small body leapt like a spring and closed the distance in one breath.

「HA!」

With enough acceleration, she thrusts out with her right short sword.

A merciless, wonderful blow aimed at my chest.

(…Her step in is really good.)

While having that impression in mind, I intercepted it with an upwards slash at an angle.
