123 122. Aiming for the deepest part of the labyrinth Kanami.txt (1/2)

”-- 'I'm leaving the world (you) behind,'

I'm not going to be able to get it right, but I'm not a wizard, I'm a swordsman.

The magic power in his body is not moving at all.

However, the air around Rowen becomes distorted.

It pulsates the world with a thumping motion, moving the surrounding crystals away from her as if they were spreading ripples.

It's as if he's rewriting the laws of the world.

As if we are committing a horrible sin.

The sense of breaking the taboo is palpable.

Thanks to ”Sensation,” we get a glimpse of what that feeling is.

This is the 'chanting' that violates the source of the world.

It is as if it is stealing the ”reason” of the world, distorting the world itself.

And the 'cost' of that 'chanting' - perhaps the life of Rowen itself.

' -- 'It was the world (you) that rejected it first' -- 'So I'll live with the sword (the vine)' --'

Beyond the fight with Arti, I had a better understanding of 'chanting'.

That's why I understand.

I can understand.

The technique that will be performed from now on is also the very life of Rowen.

Perhaps this is the innermost part of the arête.

The final technique of the swordsman Rowen.

The realm that all swordsmen strive for and will reach their end.

A single swing of a sword, wielded in the most ideal way.

That's all there is to it.

--The sword rushes.

...magic, a flash of the wraith.

The moment I heard those words, the last sword was finished forming.

The last thing my eyes caught was the moment when Rowen's right arm, which held the sword, disappeared.

Exactly, as if gutting into another dimension, his flash disappeared from the world.

That is to say, it became an unrecognizable flash that cannot be seen, not even a flash of light.

I knew something similar to this phenomenon.

Rowen's sword that disappeared into another dimension. It was just like when I got my hands on my 'possessions'. No, that's not accurate. 'Sensation' instinctively tells me the appropriate answer.

Rowen used 'dimensional magic', albeit to a limited extent.

She didn't even use magic, just her own physical skills.

And being caught up in that magic, I recall 'unremembered memories'.

--I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to expect when I see it. --because I'd seen it -- that the young man had come to the end of his training -- so I couldn't not invite him. -- even though he knew it would lead to the young man's destruction -- he had no choice but to corrupt the red-haired young man into 'the one who steals the reason of the earth' -- a mixture of resignation and sorrow. The end of a long-lasting emotion - a grazed, distant memory

Memories flashed through my mind like a runner - but I quickly forgot them all.

Because I am not the owner of that memory (・・・・・・・) (・・・・・・・・・).

Hence, it fades away cleanly, as if it had never existed in the beginning.

But the memory of that moment forces me to take the best defensive stance.

The experience made my body move unconsciously.

Before I knew it, my body moved, and before I knew it, it was all over.

The inevitable sword flicked off my sword, and the 'Crescent Pectrazi's Straight Sword' was flying through the air.

There was no opening for me.

Even if it was only a billionth of a second, I didn't want to miss it, so I focused all my attention and prepared for the attack.

However, Rowen's strike snatched the sword from my hand as if to mock my resolve.

''............!

He couldn't even recognize what had happened.

That would be the best way to surpass the swordsman Aikawa Uzumi.

If he couldn't see it, he couldn't even learn it, because if he couldn't see it, he couldn't even learn it.

The sword hovered in the air and pierced the ground, which was laden with crystals.

That was the moment when the 'drop of a weapon' was the decisive moment in the battle between swordsmen.

After a moment of silence as if time had stopped, the audience, realizing that my sword had been flicked, cheered.

The MC, who was watching the match from outside the ward, shouts out.

''--Ke, is it settled!　Just when you think you're about to see the best of sword fighting, the arena unfolds in a world more fantastical than magic!　And at the end of the intersection of light and light, just when I thought there was a break for a breath, Kanami's sword was popped off!

I was more surprised than anyone else.

Rowen did indeed say 'magic'.

'I-I mean, that was--'

It's my magic. ...... I'm not saying you can't use your magic. I'm sure I don't like it.

'Now that's magic ......?　Really ......?

The magic power was not being operated at all.

There was no doubt about that.

In other words, the operation of the body alone was enough to attract that result.

That is impossible in the laws of this world - the 'reason' of the world.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it. I'm sorry to call this magic. But since the founder of magic said it was 'magic', I have no choice but to admit it.

That was a completely different thing from the 'magic' I learned in this world.

Even though this world ignores the physical laws of my world, it is certain that magic is built according to certain laws.

Among them is the premise that 'magic is constructed using magic power'.

This was the moment when that assumption was overturned.

Rowen had paid a 'price' for 'chanting'.

Could it be that as long as there is that 'price', there is no need for magic power?

No, was magic power the substitute for the 'price'?

It's in the middle of a game, and I'm pondering.

And even though it's my opponent, I ask him honestly.

'How in the world can ......, without magic power?'

This is the skill of simply swinging the sword as the skill 'senses' and as the trained body indicates. This is the end of the swordsman's journey. --It is the end of the sword.

Rowen explains proudly, dressed up and proudly.

I just can't understand the words he's saying, but I can't understand what he's saying.

Maybe Rowen herself doesn't understand exactly what magic is now. It's possible that, as the words say, he thinks it's just a matter of ”I could have done it if I tried hard enough”.

I give up trying to hear it out and stare at it.

...... Rowen. You didn't tell me that in the labyrinth, did you?

For now, I blame him as a friend for the fact that there were other techniques in the depths.

'No, I didn't teach you anything, it's just a fast sword swinging technique. I taught you the basic kata of Yokonagi, didn't I?　Anyone can do it if they want to. I wasn't hiding anything.

'Yes ....... But you were going to surprise me in the final, weren't you?

U......, that's not denied. ......

Rowen's proud chest deflated and she looked away.

As usual, she was needlessly sincere and childlike.

In the first place, it's normal to at least hide the inner secrets of the school. A school's innermost secrets could be as much of a spirit as a single child, but Rowen is in a hurry.

''I was just kidding. But now it looks like I'm losing the sword competition: ....... It was a brilliant swordfight ....... Rowen won the battle .......

Admitting defeat, I pretend to be disappointed and give up the title.

”...... It can't be helped. 'Sword Sage' is fine as Rowen's title.
