Chapter 145 Swimsuit Back

There is a forest deep inside the school building.

Zun Zun and his friends exercise in the square here.

To be precise, Ikki Kurogane and Stella are training in swordsmanship, and in addition to that, Zunzun is also training in magic control using special clay with Shizuku Kurogane and Nagi Arisuin.

Of course, sometimes you have to tread water.

This was always the case when they were training together, but a week ago, a new person appeared in the scene.

Without a doubt, it was Ayase Ayase.

"Drink! Ha!"

Zun Zun is fighting against her.

Along with the spirited voice, her inherent spiritual outfit, a Japanese sword with a blade as red as flame, was drawing beautiful arcs.

Unlike before when she was always timid and cowardly in the preparation room, her expression was completely different when she was swinging the sword.

Lips tightly closed, eyes raised, expression serious.

After all, she is still a swordsman. No matter how afraid she is of boys, she will not be shy at all once she holds the hilt of the sword.

Unfortunately, her goal was to go further in Ayatsuji Ittoryu, but Zun Zun did not understand Ayatsuji Ittoryu and therefore could not teach her anything.

However, this aspect was made up by the imitator Kurogane Ikki, and Zun Zun corrected her posture and taught her more powerful moves.

The two are fighting.

Ayase Ayase chose the right moment and took a light step forward, but her figure disappeared from Zun Zun's sight and appeared behind him in the blink of an eye.

Snapped--

The sound of bamboo swords colliding with each other.

At the moment when he was about to be attacked from behind, Zun Zun acted first and blocked the attack.

"That's right, that's it."

Zun Zun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Because you, Ayatsuji-senpai, are very sensitive to sight, you are particularly suitable for this sight-guiding move. And most importantly, you can integrate this move into the Ayatsuji Ittoryu without changing its essence. You are more talented than the others."

"Really? Thank you, thank you, Master!"

After being praised, Ayatsuji Ayase was so excited that her cheeks turned red and she kept bowing to Zun Zun.

She learned a lot this week.

First, Zun Zun helped her correct her posture. She was blindly imitating her father and forgot the differences between men and women, so she couldn't keep up with the speed of her father in her memory.

Completely changed after being corrected.

Although she still couldn't catch up, she had a new direction and realized that she had taken the wrong path.

The second is the method of visual induction.

Not only can it avoid the enemy's sight with every move, but most importantly, it perfectly fits the Ayatsuji Ittoryu, pushing the family's inherited swordsmanship to a higher level.

I don’t know what to do anymore.

For such a great kindness, it seems that the only way to express it is to marry the other person, but the other person’s age... um!

"What's wrong, Ayatsuji-senpai, your sword is messed up."

"No, nothing! I just think that classmate Zun Zun is too young."

"What's wrong with being smaller? Damn it!"

Zun Zun felt that he was being looked down upon, so he swung the bamboo sword in his hand upwards and hit Ayatsuji Ayase's wrist, causing her pain and the sword falling to the ground.

"The mind is scattered but the form is not. The hand you hold on the bamboo sword is too relaxed. See? Even if I am young, I can teach you."

"Well……"

Zun Zun is really unforgiving.

Now not only Ayase Ayase, but also Ikki Kurogane and others felt that there was something wrong with Zun-Zun.

"Okay, Ayatsuji-senpai didn't mean it."

The good old man Kurogane Ikki came over and said to the two of them, "By the way, we have been working so hard recently, why don't we go swimming and relax tomorrow?"

It's not about playing.

Ayase Ayatsuji herself may not have realized it, but after training with everyone else for several days, her body was indeed filled with fatigue.

Especially after Zun Zun corrected her posture, she had to use some muscles that she didn't usually use, that is, some muscles that she had never exercised before, and her fatigue was doubled.

When Zun Zun saw Kurogane Ikki winking at him, he immediately understood the meaning.

It turns out that I don’t have the talent to teach.

Someone as meticulous as Kurogane Ikki is more suitable to be a teacher.

So the next day.

Zun Zun and Ayase Ayatsuji agreed to meet at the academy's swimming pool, but when they arrived there, they found that Ikki Kurogane and Stella were also there.

"Why are you two here?"

"Well..."

"It's Ikki. He's worried about Ayatsuji-senpai's condition, so he wants to come along." Stella complained slightly, but then whispered, "Although I also want to let Ikki see my swimsuit."

"What did you say, Stella?"

"Nothing, hum~"

Ikki Kurogane was choked and scratched his head in embarrassment.

The three of them had already changed into their swimsuits.

Zun Zun was wearing black swimming trunks and a red top, which was very tight but still very eye-catching. Kurogane Ikki was wearing plain brown swimming trunks, which was not very eye-catching.

The most eye-catching one is Stella.

The bikini tied with black ropes is bold and hot, with much less fabric than ordinary bikinis. The pectoral muscles shake with every step, making tourists in the swimming pool drink the water in the pool crazily.

Zun Zun rubbed his forehead.

This guy is definitely here to cause trouble.

"Okay, you two, go over there and kiss me."

"Just what I want! Let's go, Ikki."

“Wait, wait… Stella!?”

Ikki Kurogane was taken away by Stella without any explanation.

After the two people left, Zun Zun turned his head and looked at the bushes beside the pool and shouted, "Senior Ayatsuji, you can come out now."

"Yes Yes……"

Then Ayase Ayase, wearing a two-piece swimsuit that could be used as sportswear, jumped out from the bushes. "You're still the same."

"Yeah, sorry."

Maybe it was because Stella's presence was too dazzling that she didn't dare to come out?

But in fact, Ayase Ayase is not bad either. Although her overall appearance lacks a bit of alluring aura, her body shaped by practicing swordsmanship since childhood has given her a healthy and refreshing charm.

It's just that she's too timid, which greatly reduces her charm.

"Come on, let's go to the other side."

The two of them came to the corner one after the other. The swimming pool was only 2 meters long and wide, and only waist-deep, and seemed to be prepared for children.

Ayase Ayatsuji looked at Zunzun, who was a head shorter than him.

It was indeed a child.

"Did you say something?"

"No, no...no!"

Zun Zun's intuition was so terrifying that she quickly shook her head.

Then they took a dip in the pool.

Zun Zun squatted inside with his hands on his knees, and Ayatsuji Ayase followed suit. After a while, she seemed a little uncomfortable sitting there, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Are we just going to sit there and do nothing?"

"I thought you could hold back from asking."

Zun Zun smiled and said, "This time I came here not only to relax, but also to practice."

"Practice?"

A question mark seemed to appear above Ayase Ayase's head, and she tilted her head slightly, looking a little cute.

"Do you know anything about magic control?"

"Yes, yes... My magic control is D, which is very poor."

After saying that, she lowered her head in shame.

It was obvious that Zun Zun had no intention of blaming her, but she still looked disappointed and embarrassed.

"Most people's magic control is very rough, but it can actually be trained."

"Practice!?"

Ayatsuji Ayase suddenly raised her head.

"That's right." Zun Zun nodded and said, "Of course, magic control is also quite useful. You shouldn't deny that."

"Yes, yes! The battle between Zun Zun-san and Kurogane Jushizuku-san, the contest of magic control has spread widely in the academy!"

Ayatsuji Ayase nodded seriously.

It is said that later, that battle was evaluated as a competition for the first person to control magic power, and the result was naturally that Zun Zun won.

"Magic control is the ability to accurately grasp the enemy's weaknesses in battle, control one's own strengths, and use it more skillfully without wasting magic. My method of training is treading water."

"tread water?"

"Yes, just like that."

Zun Zun stood up from the swimming pool, then raised his legs and stood steadily on the horizontal surface as if he was stepping on a step.

“Wow, that’s amazing…!”

Ayatsuji Ayase couldn't help but exclaim.

There was clay for magic training in the academy, but practical techniques like Zun Zun had never appeared before...at least she hadn't seen it.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you."

"Really? Thank you!"

Then the two began to practice treading water.

"Girls are naturally more careful, so they have great talent in this area. Don't worry even if you can't do it right away."

"Yes, yes! Um... I want to ask, have Kurogane-san and the others also learned this move?"

"Ah. It took Ikki about a month to learn it, Alice (Arisuin Nagi) took two and a half weeks, and Shizuku only took an hour... Of course, that's because she already knew how to use the sword-cutting technique to force herself to stand on the water, so she already had the feel for it."

“Ha, haha… Everyone, you are really talented.”

Ayase Ayase sighed slightly.

Because she was not confident in herself, she did not think she could learn it in the same amount of time, so she was so depressed. But soon, she found something wrong.

"Where's Stella?"

“I haven’t learned it yet.”

"Eh?"

"It's been a month and a half, and she can't even step on the water."

"is that a lie?"

"No lie."

Although Stella's magic control ability is at level B, she habitually uses violent output to crush her opponents.

The purpose of exercising control over magic is to utilize it more effectively, but her magic power is bottomless. Is it necessary for her to exercise control over it?
"It's actually like this..."

"How about it, are you confident now?"

"Yes!"

Ayase Ayatsuji nodded and trained harder and more seriously. Soon, she found the feeling.

"I know! I know what to do!"

"I was right. You do have a talent for this."

And just when Ayatsuji Ayase was smiling, Zun Zun suddenly asked: "Ayatsuji-senpai, what is your purpose in wanting to become stronger?"

"……Eh?"

"Indeed, your original goal was to improve the Ayatsuji Ittoryu, but you did not refuse the other techniques I taught you. I guess you would not refuse even if I taught you other sword techniques, right? You are so eager for power. What's the reason?"

Being stared at by those red eyes that seemed to see through her swimsuit and herself, Ayase Ayase was stunned on the spot.

With a splash, he fell into the water.

-

Tsk, the princess’ swimsuit can’t be released.
