Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 288 Who is arrogant? Eyes full of fire!
Seven is an auspicious number in the world of Re:Zero.

This is due to the influence of history.

Seven worlds, seven heroes, and the number that brings good luck is basically seven.

People actually don’t care much about this kind of thing, as working all day long already takes up most of their energy.

So who cares anyway?
Royal family, nobles, officials.

The higher up you are, the more you care about this kind of thing.

This is well reflected in the Mizugami-ryu Sodojo, where most of the inhabitants are children of nobles.

seventy - seven.

It is the number of apprentices in the Suishin-ryu gym.

However, the Suishin-ryu main dojo itself does not have such ridiculous and boring rules. The number of small gyms currently depends purely on the spontaneous control of the apprentices.

In the Mizukami-ryu Dojo, below the Saint level, the commendation ceremony is only linked to the honor of the chief, not the level of the swordsman.

After all, there are so many people, there won’t be that kind of:

You have reached the intermediate level today. Okay, let me commend you.

Hey, you are the superior today, come and give me a commendation.

We can't have a banquet every day, that would be too much nonsense.

And it is precisely because of this that the true level of apprentices below the Saint level in the Suishin-ryu Dojo is often not so clear.

Therefore, it is easy to control the number of small gyms. The small chief will lead the way. If there are too many people, they can push the friends in the small gyms who are about to "graduate" to various families. If there are too few people, let everyone find suitable candidates from the big gyms to fill the gap.

Over time, a small circle of shared interests is formed.

Everyone in the big gym wants to break through the threshold of the upper level, and the reason for entering the small gym is only partly because of the glory.

Most of them are fascinated by the "circle" of small gyms.

Ars, the corruption of the Water God School is gradual.

The overall level of the disciples was also significantly different from that of the disciples of the Holy Land of Sword.

Does Leta know?
I know it, but I can do nothing about it.

Ars is right at the feet of the king, and it is the place where nobles play political games.

Unavoidable.

Then can we expand the enrollment? The poor are good at literature, while the rich are good at martial arts. Since common people don't have the conditions to learn swordsmanship, then can't we accept some wild and motivated adventurers?

No.

The tuition for apprentices at the Suishin-ryu Dojo is very cheap.

It’s so cheap that it only costs one gold coin per person per year.

But for adventurers, having no income is a burden, and the price of one coin per year is still outrageously high.

How does the Sword Sanctuary work?
It was originally a self-sufficient town composed entirely of sword gods, and it was not in the peaceful Kingdom of Asura. If everyone was really out of money, they could go and take on commissions from adventurers to defeat monsters and bandits.

This ensures the purity of the Kenshin-ryu Dojo.

But the same cannot be said for the Water God Ryu Sodojo located in the royal capital.

Fortunately, the Mizugami-ryu Dojo welcomed a 'catfish' five years ago.

Alan Boreas Graylat.

This guy doesn't play by the rules.

Let me ask you, what should we do if someone refuses to listen to advice and wants to break the unspoken rules of the dojo?
——Use the power brought by your status to suppress him!

What if the other party has a strong background and power?
——Then teach him a lesson with force!

Huh? Can't beat him?

——.This? Then we have to welcome the new chief of the small dojo to the senior dojo!
Alan was very serious about swordsmanship and didn't care about these messy and dirty things at all. During the two years he served as the chief of the Suishin-ryu dojo, he was able to completely pacify this group of nobles.

During that period, the overall academic atmosphere of the Shuishenryu Dojo was thriving.

Screams and wails echoed every day.

However, this situation only lasted for a year after Allen's sudden disappearance before it returned to its old state.

Isaruti wanted to continue to maintain it, but firstly, her mind was not on the dojo. Secondly, after all, no matter how prestigious the water god was in the capital, it would not have much effect on Isaruti.

She is a white person.

And just after she left.

The small dojo has completely returned to the state it was in a few years ago.

So we have the current situation, especially when everyone knows that big brother Alan is about to return from the dead, they feel relaxed as their death is approaching.

Practice swordsmanship?

If you are not familiar with it, Brother Allen will naturally train everyone here well when he comes back.

How about some fun?
Come!
And so, in the drama that was played out every day in the dojo, on April 23rd.

Welcome the grand return of Isaruti and Allen.

It is worth mentioning that when Leta announced that Allen would be returning more than a month ago, it was still reasonable to speculate that Brother Allen escaped from his marriage and went out for adventure, which was also a normal Dragon Quest drama.

But as time goes by.

This Dragon Quest gradually turned into a hero defeating the dragon, the hero defeating the evil beast girl, the hero defeating the evil beast girl twins, the hero defeating the evil twins and having fun every day.

It has become what it is now:
After becoming pregnant with twins, she was persuaded by a heroic female knight who came to rebel against Tian Gang to turn from evil to good.

abstract.

But it is quite in line with the living characteristics of the royal city of Ars.

At this time, the small gym was in deathly silence, and everyone looked at Falz who was about to die with great pity.

Pray silently for him.

At the same time, they all tried to look past Isaruti's figure and behind her.

Welcoming the former chief who everyone admires, the tyrannical 'catfish' who strayed into a school of herbivorous fish.

However, they did not see Alan's figure as they wished.

Instead.

But he was a man with red hair like paint falling on his shoulders, and sharp eyebrows raised.
girl?

And, she is coming.
Challenge???

-

".Senior Sister, are you sure? Where did this stranger come from? And wouldn't it be better to go to the big arena?"

Two minutes later, Falz took the wooden sword handed to him by Izuluti who walked into the field and asked in a low voice.

But he never mentioned anything about drama.

At this time, the seventy-seven people in the dojo were sitting on cushions forming a huge circle, all staring at the three people in the field.

The head of the small gym, Falz, lowered his head and whispered to Izuru.

The referee Isaruti had a smile on her face, as if the dramatic incident just now was over.

and also
Alice frowned, looked very nervous, and wielded a wooden sword.

On the side near the door, several people were still standing.

Dilic, Ariel, and Dantoris.

The first two were staring at the scene intently - there was a very conspicuous fact, that is, Alice, Allen's biological sister, actually played a strange role in the assassination in Flowing Falls City.

——After the assassination chaos, he suppressed the guards of the Street Corps on the first floor.

Is this daughter of Lord Fitoya really just an ordinary senior swordsman who grew up under the care of the nobles?
But Dantoris didn't look at Alice. He knew Allen's talent better than anyone else in the Suishin-ryu Dojo. It was an established fact that the other party's sister was talented in swordsmanship.

He looked at Sylphy.

The latter had a look of despair on the sidelines, and kept muttering difficult words like "running away from marriage" and "Alan is already Izuruti's husband".

Dantolis smiled.

Of course he knew very well whether Alan had run away from his marriage, and Sylphy didn't look like someone who would make trouble.

But this did not prevent him from standing on a very simple emotional standpoint, using the words that his grandmother obviously came up with deliberately to fulfill Isaruti's wish.

Stand up for your sister.

Of course, there is another little thought.

That is, from the perspective of the actual operator of the Suishin-ryu Dojo, Alan is a perfect 'catfish', and the value he can bring to the Suishin-ryu Dojo far exceeds that of the 'brother-in-law' himself.

In the field.

Izoloti glanced at Falz kindly, which made the latter's face freeze.

"no problem."

He turned around and shouted to the sidelines.

"Ms. Sylphy! Mr. Rudeus! Please come and help!"

Sylphy, with a dazed look on her face, subconsciously stood up and ran over, and Rudy followed behind her, walking over in confusion.

Izuluti looked at Sylphy running over, and the smile on her face became much more natural. She leaned close to the white-haired girl's ear and whispered something softly.

The latter, who was still a little dazed, was startled and stared at Isaruti with wide eyes, her face flushed red.

But after saying this, the heart that was restless and beating anxiously due to the rumors of running away from marriage was instantly calmed. Shui Sheng's movements were fast and her words were soft. Before Rudy and Falz could catch what she was saying, she stood up and smiled and bowed to Sylphy and Rudy for help.

"I'll ask you two to help with the treatment later."

Falz was stunned for a moment, then his expression relaxed and he muttered.

"Healing spell? How could I not be gentle with my strength?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt two pairs of eyes falling on his face.

——One was the white-haired girl from the Long-eared Tribe, who was looking at him with a strange expression. The other was the boy named Rudeus, who was looking him up and down with a twitching expression.

Isaruti's voice continued to drill into his ears.

"This way, we can ensure your safety. After all, as the chief of a small dojo, if you return tonight with a wound on your face, the dojo will lose face if the news gets out."

Falz's brows were twisted into a knot, and the cautious expression just now disappeared, and he looked straight at Izuluti.

Even though Izoloti was already a Saint, Falz didn't think highly of her deep down in his heart.

This is because Izuruti's just-right performance in the duel was completely different from the overwhelming pressure that Allen brought to him.

So these words instantly ignited the fire hidden in his heart.

I'll give you some respect for Brother Allen's sake.

You ungrateful animal.

A woman in the world, and a white person.

It's just that I'm lucky. I'm one year older than you and started learning sword earlier. And as the granddaughter of the Water God, I'm also looked up to by Senior Brother Allen.

Do you really think that you have gained the status of the Water God Ryuso Dojo by your own hands? ?
But he didn't show it on his face. He just looked at Isa Luti silently for a while, then replied with a smile.

"Senior sister, are you serious?"

Izuruti narrowed her eyes. "Falz, your opponent is Alice Boreas Greyrat. Please give it your all."

"Don't lose too badly."

After saying this, Falz seemed to remember something, his face fluttered, and then he actually laughed out loud.

"Haha. Alice Boreas Greyrat? I see. Who else did I think she was?"

He glanced at Alice, then turned to look at his own group with a teasing smile on his face.

"Did everyone hear that? This is the eldest daughter of the Boreas family who was expelled from the aristocratic school a few years ago! She wants to challenge our Mizukami Ryu Dojo. How ridiculous!"

Someone in the audience responded to his words awkwardly, but the colleague with long hair just now gave a cautious reminder.

"This belongs to Senior Brother Allen."

Falz's eyes darkened and plowed through him, then he turned around and spoke loudly to everyone around him.

"Suijin-ryu Dojo! Let strength speak for itself! Is this the rule set by Senior Brother Allen? What? What can his sister do?"

"Alan Boreas Greyrat is very strong. I, Falz Aiulus Greyrat, admire him and respect him as my senior brother. I am convinced."

"younger sister?"

"Don't be ridiculous. A woman like you can just attend various banquets like Ariel-sama next to you. Why be a swordsman?"

"A noble lady?"

"You know how to play with a wooden sword?!"

The voices rose layer by layer, and finally it became a roar of anger.

There was silence on the field.

As the direct heir of this generation of the Aiulus family, no one except Allen can tame him.

however.

"So much nonsense!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the other side of the field.

——Alice continued to wave the wooden sword in her hand.

But she ignored Falz who was looking at her gloomily, and just raised her eyebrows to look at Izuluti.

"Can't we use an iron sword?"

Izuruti replied with a smile.

"No, Alice, this is a challenge, not a fight."

"Tsk. All right!"

Falz squinted his eyes as if he wanted to see clearly what Alice looked like, and spoke after a long while.

"Arrogant."

Alice curled her lips and looked at him with her chin down, her expression quite disapproving.

The happy little lion learned more than just the Silent Sword from Alan.

and also.

Confidence as hot as the pupils!

The hilt of the sword moved with the wrist, lifted up, drew an arc in the air, and was slowly placed in front of the body.

pause.

Middle section.

The sword is very light.

The sword intent is very strong.

"Come!"

Falz smiled, and the next moment, before the referee opened his mouth to announce the official start of the match, his figure suddenly disappeared beside Izuluti and the others.

He suddenly approached from a distance of five steps, leaving an afterimage.

He was greeted with a swing of the sword!

Sizzle!!!

The teeth-grinding sound of wood rubbing against each other suddenly exploded in the gym!
The wooden swords were sawing at each other, and the red eyes were staring at the pupils of the attacker.

"Cutting blade? Your skills are not good enough. Try again." Falz looked at Alice's wooden sword and sneered.

Alice ignored him completely, "Hey!", raised her wrist, and pressed the sword against the sword, forming an arc!
With one blow of the knife, Falz's body was deflected, and the sword left an afterimage and pierced Falz's face.

However, the texture of the wood was already climbing in the air between the two of them.

It's the sword body.

It just happened to block the tip of Alice's sword.

Swish! The swords rubbed against each other, and Falz twisted his wrist and slashed Alice's wooden sword away from his face with his backhand!

"plucked!"

The sword blade was swung away with a bang, and at that moment, Alice's wooden sword moved in an arc, carrying her body to one side.

Falz smiled defiantly and moved forward!

With a turn of his wrist, he used the force of Alice's sword to spin the sword in his forehand. In an instant, he changed to backhand and pressed his left hand on the back of the hilt.

He suddenly stabbed Alice's waist and abdomen!

As he moved at high speed, his fighting spirit was aroused and Falz's pupils shrank into needles.

The tip of the sword moved quickly and was less than two inches away from Alice's body.

It's over. Genius's sister? That's all.
next moment.

The texture of the wood invaded his vision.

Not the blade.

It's the hilt of the sword.

"boom!!!"

The hilt of the sword suddenly came from the side and hit Falz's sword hard. The sword deflected and pierced straight into the gap under Alice's armpit.

plucked??!?
Falz rolled his eyes in surprise. The flying hilt of the sword pulled the crooked sword and pierced into his field of vision.

That was the wooden sword that Alice had saved by flicking her wrist with the fighting spirit released from her fingers.

——The move Allen used against Rudy in Buena Village.

The next moment, their eyes met.

One look contained surprise.

Another one.

Then burn with flames!

Pah! ! Alice, who had already stabilized her body, stepped on the ground.

Twist the body! Knee strike cuts through the air and comes towards him!

　I wanted to finish writing this fight, but I ran out of time.

　　Since Allen's strength has improved, there has been no such low-level martial arts chicken's one-step grappling, and it feels a little rusty when writing it. --.
