Chapter 39
That’s that settledNeither Misa nor the fan union can fight any more
With the entertainment over I turn to Ray
“……<Jie Gureido> huh? Could I cut it?” Ray mutters to hio at it”
Ray returned a cool smile at my provocation
“Don’t you need to collect that sword you lent to Misa?”
“It’ll take ot another sword besides Initeio”
Ray showed ot nothat poor looking sword to play with et Initeio”
“I’m happy but is that true?”
“Is what true?”
Ray unsheathes his sword
“Your face is saying you want to start now”
Yare yareI give upThat fellow sees straight through me
“I’m fine with this sword”
Apparently, he’s serious
He’s a thoroughly interesting guy
“Then to return the favour I’ll only use a sword as well”
I pick up a handy tree branch that had fallen nearby
“Even for Arnos-kun I think you’d be better using a nor to cut this branch in tith one strike?”
No denial or affirmationRay just smiled
“If you have the confidence then try it”
I take a step towards Ray with no hesitation or caution
His hand disappeared and the iron sword flashed momentarily
“…Fuu…!?”
“Naive”
I swing the branch with allit cos out and Ray is bloayHe’s sent rolling across the ruht you were easily going to cut this branch?” I say to the fallen Ray
This tree branch is reinforced with er than iron at the ht”
Ray stands up like nothing had happened
“It’s the first time I’ve lost a point to an opponent with an inferior weapon”
“You look happy though”
“Do I? I’Your h and at the same time, he steps to the side but appears before ic
Besides its speed its a movement technique that cuts waste to the limit
“Fuuuuu!!”
I could only see a flash of his blade like a trail of light
“Futh to react to Ray’s strike
Sword and branch collide and again Ray is bloay
“Was that your liain
“Overwhelht I’d exceeded er or offence in his voice only pure fun
I felt like I could understand Ray’s feelings soo?”
Ray sets his sword upThe movements so natural it’s like his sword is just another liain if you want”
Ray breathed in and stopped
He concentrated his power in his feet and this tiht but his entire body
Ray accelerates at such a speed that even my demon eyes can barely see him
“FumuThis speed is far superior”
I up my power a level and strike Ray’s swordAs they collide their powers struggle against each other
Ray had been one-sidedly takingbloay
“Splendid”
This time however, despite the fact I’d doubled round in a defensive stance
“AYour plan just noent very well”
First stage then the second stage and now the present which is better than the second stageI’ to put more and etting gradually better at handlingainst meI don’t have that much roo his limit don’t seem to be a lie
In other words, in the s at a fearso so……”
“What?”
“How to use the sword”
Ray coain but this tie thirst for blood in his eyes
“Fuuu……!!”
“Slow”
I release entle blowHis sword takes my power and wards it off
That bloas probably strong enough to destroy a castle but Rays no longer receiving it head-on and is instead parrying and diverting the force of the blow
Yare yareI’
“You’re actually a big deal huh?”
He can’t divert all the force of h and loses his balance
“I’ll give you a reward”
“…Haaa……!!”
A crashi+ng sound rings out and Ray parries ain
This time he doesn’t lose his posture at all
He s smile
“Let’s see if I cant cut that branch next”
