157 153. Once you meet twice, you cannot understand everything (1/2)

Sparkling battle.

It is an expression often used in various genres, such as comics and cartoons, and in dramas, novels and games.

At least it's not an expression that's often used in everyday life.

Haha!　I think you're starting to enjoy it, too, after what you've been through!

”Shut up!

But it had become familiar to me.

A high-pitched sound resounded in front of me and red sparks flew.

As if to express those words, I'm now in the middle of that sparking battle.

Sparks fly whenever my mineral tree and the rapier of the gentleman over there collide.

How can your thin rapier stand against my mineral tree?　You won't break it and you'll lose your confidence!

”Hahaha!　This sword is specially made!　It's one that was painstakingly trained by your giant!　I don't want to be lumped in with those other things!

While complaining inwardly why it really doesn't break, we admire the rapier-trained giant and Yuuo's skill at minimizing the damage.

Contrary to our innermost feelings, our hands never stop working, despite our public claptrap.

A high-pitched whine and a heavy, crushing buzz echoes through space amidst the sound of clashing metal.

The other side takes a strategy of utilizing space, such as back and forth, left, right, and up and down, with the axis of the rush, while the other side realizes that it is not good to get into the opponent's ring, and I realize that it is not good to get into the opponent's ring, so I try to avoid moving from a certain point as much as possible in order to get ahead of him, and spend myself in a battle with the main focus on intercepting the enemy, looking around.

You are forced to struggle against a rapier, a weapon that you have never fought before, first to get your eyes used to it, then to adapt your body to the stabbing, and then to compensate for the loss of your weapon by a single blow.

The first round I lost the first round, the second round I lost, though it was better than the first, and by the third round I was fighting to a draw, and from then on, I was able to win and lose repeatedly.

In the process, I am beginning to enjoy this battle as if I have awakened the blood of the Japanese, a people who in the past were described by foreigners as a crazy fighting people during the Warring States period.

As pointed out by the man in front of you, at first you were angry at the politeness without question, but that feeling was replaced by another one the longer you fought, the longer you fought.

But you should be proud of yourself!　I admire the magical power that has made this dullard into such a masterpiece, and his ability to keep up with my speed despite being human!

Thank you for that!　It was worth all the hard work too!

Joy .

Isn't that a rare emotion in battle.

Still, maybe I can't help but feel this emotion.

After all, most of this company was either stronger or weaker than me.

The weak ones were, of course, the testers, including Kaido and the others.

Rather than fighting, they were more interested in training and guiding us.

Then the strongest were Suera and the other members of the demon king's army.

I don't know what I've been doing lately as I've been steadily improving my skills, but ever since I joined the company, I've been beaten up by the members of the Demon King's Army who had spent many years in battle.

There were times when I was helpless and there were times when I desperately fought back.

Still, I was often outmatched.

And I guess my regret is that I didn't have many opportunities to meet a balanced opponent like this.

It's not that I regret getting stronger.

I'm not afraid of fighting strong opponents.

But that's why you were looking for this kind of battle with a balanced opponent.

Even in everyday training, you can't feel the sensations you receive from your instructor.

There is something exciting about fighting with a superior man in front of you.

It seems insurmountable, but it's not.

But you can't think it's impossible.

Such a serious match between such exquisite abilities.

It made me very happy to know that it doesn't matter who wins or who loses.

You'll be able to see that if you get any more serious, you'll kill each other, so of course you'll be hiding your trump card.

I also use the Scream, but I don't use the connection with the mineral tree.

You'll be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your newborn baby.

If you are serious, the deadly air will be like magic and pressure, and it will come at me.

Based on my experience as a skull gentleman and a yakuza, I know that the deadly air becomes a physical pressure, so she's still just waiting to see what happens.

Still.

Huh!

”Sh!

I was putting everything I could into my power.

A red streak forms on my cheek and cuts across the other man's clothing.

Repeated sword flashes are serious enough to hurt each other.

One wrong move and you could be not only seriously injured, but dead.

Still, I was willing to let the atmosphere of battle take over.

Except to block the trump card, a skill that is sure to kill, we were both fighting with everything we had.

Old me, if I knew I was enjoying this situation, I would have seriously considered going to the head or mental hospital.

Whew.

What's the matter, are you tired?

”Well, you've shown more tenacity than I expected. I'm a little tired.

What, if you'd seen it, I'd be lying in a pool of blood by now?

Yes, based on what I've heard and my ability, I think I should be able to last five minutes.

Honest.

Yes, but you have defied my expectations.

”For the better?　Or,

Come on, which one is it?

Before I can ask if I'm the bad one, Yuuo interrupts me with a smile.

The space of the battle is also stagnant as Yu-man takes a distance from you.

It is ironic that there are no gestures between the gestures, which can be a little annoying due to their theatrical nature.

On top of that, a noisy female tester often interrupts my concentration while I'm fighting.

Even now, the cheers go up even more as the man in front of you smiles and waves to the yellow cheers.

The male testers, of course, have twisted their facial expressions to say it's not funny, but after the fight earlier, they didn't boo.

Instead, they want me to destroy the handsome man, and they look at you with such passion that you can say, ”What happened to our relationship until now?
