Chapter 16 (2/2)

The shi+fting of his opponent, their breathing, the sounds of theirall of these to predict the future eakened in this era

As a result, right now his ability to read the opponent was the same as Patrick’s, and even the possibility that he was a little inferior existed

That’s why Luru naturally decided to give up on predicting things like where the opponent was going to strike if he went first

He knew that if he attacked first, then Patrick would accurately see through his openings and attack there

However, if they kept staring at each other, at this rate it would never begin

He would just take the firstafter that he would leave to his instinct-sharpened responses

There would probably be no time to think

However, he had trained for

Thus…

Like that, Luru kicked off the ground

Of course, Patrick immediately sensed his movement, and moved his body to deal with Luru’s attack

It see his sword but thrust, was accurately predicted by Patrick, and lowering the sword tip just a little, Patrick bent his body horizontally and avoided the attack

However, to Luru, there was no way that he didn’t know that was going to happen

Sensing that Patrick would immediately take evasive action, Luru forcibly pulled back the sword that had been thrust, and shi+fting his body to the side, attacked Patrick once more

“…-!?”

Patrick had been thinking that Luru could probably iet in another strike, but all the same, he was left wide-eyed by the speed

Patrick naturally brought down his sword between his body and Luru’s sword, and repelled the attack just fine, but he had no choice but to take some distance; he had retreated until they were about the same distance apart as when they first started

Fro for a counter after being forced to ood choice

In fact, in Patrick’s gaze as standing 5 steps aas there was not the callare

Leaving aside how things ht be under north was decreased, he recognised that the one before hi back

It hat Patrick hadn’t seen in training even up until yesterday; Luru’s aggressive and greedy side

He hadn’t really shown it in his sparring with his father, and Luru’s style of the ether with Rusty, was aggressive enough that it see it for the first time

“Not bad, Luru Why haven’t you used this fighting style up until now?”

Asked his father with a s a little surprised, still hadn’t lost his composure

However, Luru could tell fro to heat up just a little

Patrick had recognised Luru as so

Realising this, Luru felt an elation like the one he felt fighting the hero in his previous life

“Didn’t you say it yourself, Dad[/Tousan]? …That it’d be better to have one or two trump cards in hold I don’t want to die, so once I beco all out then, but even so, I think it’d be better to avoid using allabout it too”

Luru’s trump cards…

In other words, they his ressive style of fighting that he was using against his father

The techniques that he was now using were unmistakably close to the school of Orthodox Swordsmanshi+p that he learned from his father, but if you looked at it and at Luru as a whole, you would probably immediately mumble:

‘That’s the De style‘

If you had to describe them, his father was the stype of swordsman ould take away his opponent’s escape routes one by one and drive him into the corner, whilst Luru was the type of swordsman ould chase and destroy them no matter where they ran to

Luru had learned his father’sthe opponent, but Luru naturally absorbed this, and ca unique to him

Were Luru a normal boy, he probably couldn’t have done this

To customise and improve a sword syste period of time was normally impossible

However, Luru had piled up many experiences for this sake

Creating a rational style of fighting that suited oneself, all without leaving the fra i project

And the result was that Luru’s style of swordsmanshi+p was a few steps more advanced than the swordsmanshi+p system that had been passed down until now

That advance so si it

Even Patrick was no exception, and it was for this reason that he showed his admiration for Luru’s technique

“Thinking about it, huh…? The foundations of your style are definitely the things I taught you, but… The details are different, and it’d be better to consider the ideology itself behind the enius? But… It actually looks like the fighting tactics of a veteran backed with experience, but… Hmm”

Patrick began to mutter this while they met blades a number of times

Considering that after only a few exchanges, the answer that his father had come up as almost completely correct, on the contrary Luru was the shocked one

“Well, whatever… Ito do We’re both close to reaching the limits of our stamina Shall we make the next rally the last…?”

Said Patrick, as he retreated just a little

Luru could feel aelse so far

The technique he was about to use…

It looked like an ordinary swing from above

However, it was actually different

It would be fine to call it a surekill technique that encompassed the entirety of the Orthodox Swordsmanshi+p that Luru and Patrick had trained thus far

Not just Patrick, but Luru and even Rusty could use this technique, but his degree of skill in it was incomparable

However, right now there was only one technique that Luru could use to deal with this

Thus, he resolved himself

Like that, Luru and Patrick faced each other down, and at the same time, yelled the name of the technique

“Let’s go, Luru… Single Longsword!!”

“Take this, Dad[/Tousan]… Single Longsword!!”

They met in an instant, and thus the outcome was immediately apparent

The one standing in the end, without a single wound, was the blonde man

It was Patrick
