Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 33 Allen VS Paul, This is the Silent Blade!

Allen's pupils contracted, and the blade in his hand, which he couldn't turn in time, was no longer able to stop Paul's sword. He stretched his palm forward, revealing a section of the hilt, and was about to use the Water God Style - the Secret Technique to neutralize Paul's attack.

"No! This won't lead to improvement!"

Allen retrieved the Flowing Secret Technique that was already in his hands, only to be slashed at the end of the hilt by Paul.

The attack, infused with fighting spirit, sent him flying. He struggled to regain his footing, but even so, without the Water God Style technique to neutralize his momentum, he still managed to plow a half-meter track into the ground.

But just as he regained his footing, he suddenly used his fighting spirit to slam Paul hard with the force of the reverse impact!

With a clang, the two blades clashed and sawed against each other at their point of intersection, which was only a few centimeters apart.

Paul held his sword to Allen's neck, and roared angrily at Allen, who instinctively looked down at his lower body.

"You focused all your attention on my neck, that chop was getting pretty good! But where are you looking now?!"

Allen gritted his teeth and broke his knife. The blade flashed through the air, leaving afterimages, as he attacked Paul's other side of the neck.

But at that moment, Paul's sword was already a few centimeters from Allen's throat.

"No! His Sword God Style is faster!"

Allen swiftly shifted his feet, twisting and dodging to Paul's side. As he avoided the blade, his body twisted, and the blade sliced through the air, aiming for Paul's ribs. However, Paul's sword once again struck first, striking Allen's blade and deflecting it from his front.

Allen tried to push forward again after creating some distance, but Paul stopped him with a gesture.

His usual carefree and playful demeanor vanished, replaced by a calm expression as he looked at Allen.

"Allen, adjust your breathing and calm down."

He then pointed with his free finger to a distance one finger's width in front of his neck.

"Focus your attention solely on this point, disregard any potential variations, and simply retain the feeling of the strike."

"Then, slash it down, it's that simple."

Paul squinted.

"I'll count to three, then I'll chop right away, understand?"

Allen took a deep breath and instantly regained his steady breathing.

He looked at Paul solemnly, nodded, and then closed his eyes.

Whispering in the heart.

"Faster than thoughts"

Allen opened his eyes and looked at Paul's neck.

"it is good."

Paul watched Allen's posture and licked his lips with interest.

"one!"

Allen crouched down, gripping the knife with both hands.

"two."

He placed the blade at his side, extending it diagonally behind him, and focused his gaze on a point one finger's width in front of Paul's neck with a slanted, focused expression.

"S"

As Paul's tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, producing a fricative sound, Allen's pupils constricted to pinpoints!

In that instant, the light and shadow around the courtyard in sight quickly converged and turned into wisps of mist. The swaying trails of the leaves gradually disappeared into the mist, the sound of the wind vanished into the nothingness of the mist, and Paul's burning gaze disappeared into the dust.

then.

Wisps of smoke dissipated into the silent darkness. The only light lingered on Paul's neck.

Immediately afterwards, the darkness rippled, and that was Paul's voice trembling.

At the same time, Allen heard his own inner voice.

It's very far away.

"I saw."

But it's clear enough!

"I'll cut it off!!"

The next moment! The environment emerged from the darkness, and the world was once again painted with bright colors. Senis and Lilia's gasps of surprise erupted from the second floor.

Allen blinked. The light in the darkness just now seemed like a dream, an illusion, a fleeting daze, a momentary delusion that arose without any reason.

He stared blankly and subconsciously looked up, continuing to look at the spot one finger in front of Paul's neck.

There hung a knife there, trembling incessantly, its sound so clear it seemed almost within reach.

No, it's not just "as if".

The knife was right in front of me.

Allen looked down along the blade and saw his own hand gripping the hilt at the end.

It's not an illusion.

He stared in astonishment at Paul, who beamed with a bright smile, flicked the thin blade away with his finger, pulled Allen into a tight embrace, and punched him hard in the chest.

"Excellent! Excellent! This is the true Sword God Style! Remember this feeling! This is the feeling of 'slashing'! This is the Silent Katana!!"

Just then, a hesitant voice came from the courtyard gate.

"Um, Rudy's all ready, Allen, shall we go?"

Allen turned to look at the source of the sound, and Hilfi blinked, staring intently at him.

The wind blew through her green hair, which was a bit longer than it had been two months ago and had already reached her chin.

Her expression was no longer as timid and shy as it had been two months ago. She simply looked at Allen quietly, her reddish-brown pupils revealing an inquiring look.

Allen blinked, then felt a force coming from behind him. Paul pushed him, making him stumble. He steadied himself and looked back.

Paul smiled, reached out and pinched his neck, turning his head around.

"Go! Be careful, be very careful! Don't hold the blade as close as you did this time during the final battle. Rudy's body isn't enhanced with battle aura."

Allen turned and nodded.

"Okay! I got it! We agree that if we get within one meter of each other, I win."

Senis's relieved breathing came from upstairs, almost too obviously.

Allen looked up at Senis and brandished the knife in his hand.

"Don't worry, Madam, I'll sheathe my sword as soon as he's within a meter! I won't hurt him. You should be worried about me getting blasted away by one of his fireballs!"

Senis covered her mouth and smiled, then waved goodbye to him.

Allen waved back, smiled and nodded at Paul, then turned and left the courtyard with Hilfi.

After Allen walked away, Paul's face suddenly turned ugly. He lowered his hand from his neck and saw a red mark on his neck with faint bloodstains.

"Such powerful battle aura quality! It almost broke through my battle aura. Is this the quality a nine-year-old child should have? And he's already grasped the knack of the Silent Blade so quickly..."

He watched as Allen stroked Hilfi's head in the distance, and although the latter's back was slightly stiff, a genuine smile once again bloomed on her face.

"Philip, you've given birth to an extraordinary genius! I wonder when you two will be able to recognize each other?"

When Allen arrived at the hillside where he usually stayed, Rudy stood at the foot of the hill with his arms crossed, looking at him with a confident gleam in his eyes.

Even though the grass was almost up to his waist.

Allen couldn't help but smile at his posture.

"Are you ready?"

"This time I'll definitely give you a surprise."

Allen turned to look at Hilfi.

"Go wait for us on the hilltop."

Hilfi blinked, looking hesitant, before turning to look at Rudy.

"Um, please be careful and don't go too far."

Allen was somewhat surprised that Hilfi's implication was that Rudy was the one with the advantage, and he couldn't help but become curious.

By the time Hilfi reached the hill and leaned against a tree, Rudy and Allen had already separated by a hundred meters.

Seeing that the two had taken their positions, Hilfi nodded.

Her soft, sweet voice was carried down the hillside by the gentle breeze.
