194 Sword Memories (2/2)
Even if the audience was excited, the one who was enjoying it the most was the girl who continued attacking Yale non-stop for more than an hour while Yale continued blocking all her attacks while in his enlightenment state.
However, eventually, Yale knocked off her sword and pointed his sword towards her.
”Lar, you lose again.”
Yale recovered his consciousness while saying that; he said it just because he had been so much used to it in those uncountable battles in his memories that he said the same without thinking about his current situation. Before Yale could say anything else to clarify his words, the girl in front of him replied.
”Indeed, I lost again. Liye, thank you for the battle. Wait for my next challenge.”
Yale didn't expect that reply, but he wasn't a fool and understood everything at that moment.
”Those words are really nostalgic; you don't know how much time I have waited to spar with you again.”
The girl disregarded the fact Yale was still pointing a sword towards her and hugged him after saying that.
Just as Yale had guessed, that girl and the woman called Lar in those memories both have the same soul but a different body, that girl was Lar's reincarnation.
Although Yale didn't know how did she reincarnate as based on what Anpaes said she should have her soul harmed and thus no way to reincarnate by normal means, there was no doubt about her identity. After all, Yale managed to find a way to reincarnate in such a state, so it wasn't impossible that someone else managed to find some other way to do it.
Those words were proof enough to confirm her identity, but even without that, thinking about it a bit, Yale understood that he awakened those memories due to soul resonance and just that soul resonance was an irrefutable proof that Yale's past life had met her, or at least her soul.
However, even knowing her identity Yale didn't know how to react after she hugged him because in his memories he only battled with her, they didn't have that kind of close relationship to hug each other.
Of course, he knew that Lar should be the one who helped him to create the Sword Bloodline and thus at some point they should have turned closer, and hugging each other shouldn't be strange, but for the current Yale that was still too weird. In his current life he had just met her and in his memories both just battled endlessly, so he didn't have any kind of romantic feeling towards her, even his soul had only reacted to their battles, and the awakened memories were only focused on swordsmanship.
Yale moved her away, he felt weird just being hugged by her, and they were also in the midst of the arena, so it made it felt even more shame. Moreover, that hug in public would create too many weird rumors.
”You are always too cold with me!”
Lar pouted after Yale stopped the hug.
”Well, we can talk later. Alone.”
She winked towards Yale and left the stage jumping with happiness. On the other hand, Yale remained stiff in the midst of the Sword Arena, that situation surpassed anything he could have predicted.
”With such a big world how can I meet her reincarnation just here.”
Of course, he just thought that for just a second before discarding the idea, there was no way that was a coincidence or fate; he had been almost forced to go to Sword City by the system and his past life, so he guessed that making Yale meet Lar's reincarnation was his past life's intention.
After Lar's reincarnation disappeared from his eyesight, Yale looked the corpse of the member of the Sword Five who he had killed; he could remember what he had done in the midst of the enlightenment and started to fear the repercussion of that.
Although that guy had a trashy personality and deserved that end, Yale had killed him in the Sword Arena and broke the rules.
