Faced with the aerial bombardment that was as fast as falling stars, the black swordsman unleashed terrifying power from the soles of his feet, leaping ten feet into the air and launching a lightning-fast attack on Lee Se-hyuk, just missing the edge of the blue airburst bomb.

Although flying-type characters are extremely rare in the Accelerated World, there are quite a few with amazing jumping ability. The Black Swordsman is a master of this art, with terrifying jumping ability and aerial sword skills!

A dark sword light, like a shooting star falling backward, approached rapidly. A terrible premonition was sending danger signals to his brain at breakneck speed, and Se-hyuk's pupils contracted slightly.

In the next instant, the white light of the "Dark Chaser" pierced through the boundless darkness!

The black swordsman, wielding dual swords, suddenly amplified the oppressive aura, like a tsunami collapsing and lightning striking the earth!

"Ping—! Clang—! Boom!!!!"

Kirito's sword and Se-hyuk's sword collided at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Immediately following the crisp sound of impact was an explosion on the gun and sword, with blue energy spreading out, and black and white blades could be seen tearing and flashing like lightning within it!

Because of Se-hyuk's superpowers, which underwent a qualitative change and explosion, the damage to Se-hyuk was minimal.

Furthermore, the explosion that occurred when Se-hyuk poured all his superpowers into it was far beyond what an ordinary person could withstand, both in terms of its range and power.

However, Kirito's willpower and health allowed him to withstand the explosion and fight back fiercely!

Kirito, wielding two swords, was so fast that his attacks were almost invisible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, his body suffered no less than four hits, and his green health bar dropped twice as fast as when he was subjected to a superpower explosion!

To the onlookers, the speed at which the two swung their swords was too fast to see clearly, but for Lee Se-hyuk, Kirito's attack speed was equally terrifying.

Within seconds, dozens of sword light marks were imprinted on the dark sky like branding marks!

For these sword lights, those etched into reality for more than a breath are immortal.

These immortal sword lights have undergone a cycle of existence and disappearance, yet they only seem to multiply.

The battlefield shifted from the air to the ground, and then from the ground to the low air.

The blue star, with its intertwined black and white sword lights, has undergone countless explosions. Streams of sword light and blue energy that couldn't be extinguished in time have been blooming and raging in the void for a long time!

The number of spectators for this match was definitely the highest of the year, with many people coming after hearing the announcement, quickly rising from over a hundred to more than nine hundred. However, the scene was unexpectedly quiet.

...or rather, deathly silence, as if all sound had died.

Only the increasingly loud explosions and the increasingly intense sword cries resounded through the void!

I thought this battle would be a rare one without the "all-out attack" trope. But as Se-ha's health bar dropped to the critical point and Kirito's health also entered the danger zone, the two swordsmen ultimately risked their already burning ultimate skill gauges for final victory.

"StarBurst Stream!"

"Ughhhhhh, the Exploding Spirit Sword—Heavenly Blaze!!!"

...

Half an hour in the accelerated world, when divided by 1000, is equal to 1.8 seconds in the real world.

Lee Se-hyuk and Kirito had just shouted "Overclocking Connection" when J-Uncle, who had just taken a sip of his drink, had already finished fighting and opened his eyes.

Upon witnessing this, J choked and sprayed all his wine onto the table. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and clicked his tongue, exclaiming, "Damn, so fast!?"

Kirito smiled and said, "After all, he's a newbie in the Overclocking Connector. He'll get used to it in a few days."

"After so many matches, I feel like the old man isn't all that great." Uncle J glanced sideways and saw Sehyuk's somewhat unwilling silence, then looked at Kirito's smile, and then realized something with surprise, "...Sehyuk, you lost?"

"Um..."

Admitting defeat readily is indeed his style, but Lee Se-hyuk still added with a hint of resentment, "Damn it, Kirito is Level 9, his HP bar must be longer than mine! If I were also Level 9... I might not necessarily lose!"

It's just "not certain," even if it really is Lv9 Lee Se-hyuk, there's not much confidence that he can guarantee a win.

Kirito was secretly alarmed by Lee Se-hyuk's terrifying abilities, but as someone known as a "Beater" in the world of swordsmanship, how could Kirito easily admit that someone else's talent surpassed his own?

This led to Se-hyuk complaining that his level was being suppressed, while Kirito secretly thought that Se-hyuk's sword, which could explode, was too overpowered.

"Now that the outcome is decided, it's time to keep your promise, Se-hyuk-kun?"

Although unwilling to accept defeat, he was willing to accept his loss and nodded, asking, "Kirito-kun, you mean 'Happy,' right..."

“Okay, I admit it, Happy is indeed a phantom thief, and that… uh, the figurine, that figurine might also have been stolen by her. But to be honest, we really don’t know where Happy is…”

Lee Se-hyuk's helpless expression seemed genuine, but there was clearly more to come.

“I know someone who might know where Happy is. So leave the rest to me. I'll also keep an eye out for the figure’s whereabouts.”

"Thank you in advance, Mr. Shihe."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Kirito-kun is very strong, a worthy and respectable opponent. Moreover, as fellow black-clad swordsmen, we feel like old friends at first sight."

"Meteor Blademaster is not bad either. There aren't many opponents who can put this much pressure on me."

"Haha, I admire your dual-wielding style very much. I have benefited greatly from sparring with you."

"Not at all, Se-hyuk's spear and sword are the king of all weapons. They can cut people and fire cannons. Only someone like Meteor Blademaster is capable of wielding them."

The more Kirito talked, the more surprised he became that Lee Se-hyuk had so many similarities to him, even their face shape and demeanor were almost identical.

"By the way, I also have a beautiful fiancée, Yuuki Asuna. I'm sure someone as handsome and dashing as Mr. Se-hyuk must also have a beloved partner. Would I have the honor of getting to know her?"

"Oh, what a coincidence, I do indeed have a super cute unmarried person..."

The words stopped abruptly, and Se-hyuk's expression froze as if frozen in ice.

—Oh crap, am I overthinking this? I risked my life to save Seul-yu, and now she's even calling out Tina's name in her dreams. She's going to be my fiancée?! Don't be ridiculous!

Kirito, puzzled, pressed on with the intention of getting to know her, "Oh... judging from Se-hyuk's cautious words... could it be that his fiancée's appearance is so adorable that words cannot describe it?"

Se-hyuk remained still.

Uncle J, who was standing to the side, knew that Seul-ok had confessed to someone a year ago, so he could only sigh and mourn silently.

Mistin ate in small bites, his eyes darting around, without saying a word, afraid that if he had tricked Happy, he would then trick Lee Se-hyuk.

Even if Kirito was slow on the uptake, he should have noticed something was wrong by now. "...What's wrong?"

Se-hyuk snapped out of his daze and chuckled awkwardly, "Ah, it's nothing, I just feel like we can't be friends anymore..."

He suddenly got up and left.

"Ah, I didn't do anything...nothing...Hey Se-hyuk, don't be in such a hurry to leave, don't you still need to solve your accommodation problem...Hey!!!"

Although I left in a fit of anger, I still had to keep my promise to others.

On the way, Uncle J earnestly tried to persuade Se-hyuk, saying that he would find a fiancée sooner or later and shouldn't end up homeless because of a moment of anger. But Se-hyuk wouldn't listen.

In order to obtain information about Harpy, Lee Se-hyuk also contacted Nata along the way and arranged to meet at a certain place.

Shibuya business district.

As night falls, a sea of ​​dazzling lights fills the entire city, and the streets are teeming with pedestrians, making it even more lively than during the day.

A blue-haired boy leaned against the pedestrian railing, sipping a can of soda intermittently while muttering something to himself.

Nata doesn't deny that, apart from the elusive trainer and himself, the four members of the Red Wolf Squad—Violet, Leviathan, Tina, and Harpy—are all top-tier beauties, ranging from queens and mature women to lolis. But Nata dares to swear from the bottom of his heart that he treats them as his own sisters without any evil intentions!

But Happy wouldn't listen to his explanation and used that as an excuse to kick him out.

Nata didn't think much of it; it was just too boring to be alone.

Because she was bored, she did not refuse Se-hyuk's request to meet.

But then I thought, even though I'm a member of the Red Wolves, I must feel depressed because there are only women and no men around. I thought, when the training officer is around, how dare they ostracize me?

"Ugh, women are such troublesome creatures..."

Nata, mimicking Wolfman, half-stuffed one hand into his pocket and casually tossed his half-finished drink behind him with the other.

However, there was no loud clanging sound of something hitting the inside of the trash can behind him.

Instead, it was caught steadily by a large hand and thrown into the trash can. At the same time, a steady voice rang out.

"Young Master Nata."

Nata paused, turned around, and seemed to realize something. He chuckled with a hint of schadenfreude. "Oh, isn't this Sebastian, the butler of some young lady? What are you doing here?"

“…Miss sent me on a special mission.” Sebastian forced a look at Nata.

"You've probably been kicked out too!" Nata stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, quite magnanimously. "We're in the same boat, what's there to be shy about? Besides, I have no right to make fun of you."

Sebastian coughed. "Since Young Master Nata says so, I'm relieved."

"So, what's next...?"

Nata was about to say something when his voice suddenly stopped. His wolf-like keen senses allowed him to see everything even in a chaotic environment.

At that moment, the little wolf Nata's gaze followed three eerie men in black robes and a little girl trembling under their tyranny into a dark alley.

Even though the object of her affections was a little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old, Nata still sighed, "Women are such troublesome creatures..."

Sebastian followed his gaze, but could only see a dark entrance. Puzzled, he asked, "Young Master Nata, what's wrong?"

Nata lowered his head, put his hands in his jacket pockets, and walked forward, his voice incredibly gloomy as he said, "Ah, it's nothing... I guess I do a good deed once in a while."

Nighttime, dark alleyways often hold stories.

A girl with short red hair... or rather, she couldn't be called a girl, but rather a little girl of about eleven years old. She was dressed in a short, dusty black robe, with a dirty red shirt underneath. Her ill-fitting skirt reached her knees, and below it were two severely abraded calves.

Although her cheeks were a little thin due to malnutrition, she still had a pair of stunning red eyes and delicate red bangs that slightly covered her eyes. She wasn't exactly beautiful, but she was quite eye-catching.

What's most striking is the metal collar she wears around her slender neck—like a dog's.
