Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

However, Chihaya Aine does not need to worry about this now, because the sword skills she is using now are known for their speed.

If she used other sword skills, Chihaya Aine couldn't guarantee that her sword would be able to hit the enemy accurately and powerfully, but it would be different if she used the bird thorn.

The power, speed and precision of this sword technique are not to be underestimated.

Chihaya Aine used the technique of "suddenly increasing the attack range" to successfully launch a surprise attack on Goto Ichiri.

The tip of the bamboo sword cut through the air and stabbed straight towards Goto Ichiri's chest.

Even though Chihaya Aine held the hilt of the sword at the very bottom, her "bird thorn" was still full of power.

There was no way Goto Ichiri could block Chihaya Aine's surprise attack using the assault sword technique, and the tip of the sword hit Goto Ichiri's chest accurately.

After staggering back a few steps, Goto Ichiri fell heavily to the ground.

Although she didn't have a very intense fight with Goto Ichiri, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing Goto Ichiri finally fall to the ground.

Goto Ichiri struggled to get up from the ground.

Looking at Chihaya Aine, who had retracted her thrusting sword and maintained a normal standing posture, Goto Ichiri's eyes contained quite complicated emotions.

"I didn't expect that I would suffer the same blow twice. Sure enough, hastily imitating your moves, Aine-chan, isn't the best choice?"

Goto Ichiri stood there reflecting on the mistakes he had made in the previous round of fighting.

"Hehe, after all, this is a special move that combines the Eight-inch Extended Gold and Bird Thorn moves. This move is used to achieve the effect of a first-sight kill."

Chihaya Aine smiled and touched the back of her head

.

"However, imitating the enemy's moves on the spot does carry a great risk. After all, you're only learning them at the last minute, while the enemy has already mastered them for years. Even if you learn the moves, there's no guarantee they won't already know how to counter them."

Chihaya Aine gave her own opinion on Goto Ichiri's second question.

Ultra Seven and Ultraman Zero in the consciousness space said nothing about this, but just watched Chihaya Aine and Goto Ichiri communicate silently.

"I understand. Instead of simply copying the opponent's moves, it's better to learn them and put yourself in their perspective, thinking about how to break them."

After a little thought, Goto Ichiri got out of his previous misconception.

Volume 1: Chapter 214 Goto Ichiri Closes His Eyes

Goto Ichiri readjusted the bamboo sword in his hand.

Chihaya Aine followed closely behind, tightly grasping the bamboo sword in her hand and getting ready.

The two men were in a mid-sword stance, and the bamboo swords in their hands were reflecting dazzling light under the bright sunlight.

The sunlight was so warm, but the light reflected by the bamboo sword was so cold and creepy.

There was not a single cloud in the clear blue sky, and even the wind had stopped.

Both the two people who were confronting each other and the surrounding environment seemed to be completely immersed in silence. Not even the slightest sound could be heard.

Then--

pat!

pat!

The sound of two footsteps hitting the ground rang out almost simultaneously, breaking the silence.

Chihaya Aine and Goto Ichiri rushed towards each other.

clang--!

The two men's bamboo swords collided in mid-air, making a deafening sound of metal clashing.

Chihaya Aine and Goto Ichiri crossed their bamboo sword handles, put their strength into their waists, and wrestled with each other.

As long as the handles of the bamboo swords are placed together, it is not easy to pull them apart, and eventually they will naturally become in a state of confrontation and wrestling like they are now.

Chihaya Aine and Goto Ichiri faced each other across their bamboo swords, competing with each other.

In this situation, whoever runs out of energy first will be defeated.

Chihaya Aine and Goto Ichiri both planted their feet firmly on the ground, and whenever the other party exerted force, they would return the favor.

No one speaks.

Because both of them poured all their strength into wrestling, they had no extra energy to do anything else.

Chihaya Aine, who actively suppressed her physical fitness, is somewhat lacking in strength compared to Goto Ichiri.

In this battle, Chihaya Aine, who has actively improved her qualities, should use speed rather than strength, rather than competing in strength.

So Chihaya Aine released the pressure from the front to the side, intending to break away from the current confrontation.

Goto Ichiri, who saw Chihaya Aion's intention, would not let Chihaya Aion get her wish.

Chihaya Aine released her force laterally, and Goto Ichiri also released her force laterally.

So the two of them kept their bamboo sword handles crossed together and ran horizontally on the ground in the courtyard.

The direction the two men ran towards was one of the entrances to the kendo field.

Chihaya Aine and Goto Ichiri ran all the way to the entrance of the kendo field before stopping.

"what!"

Goto Ichiri let out a loud shout, then rushed forward, knocking Chihaya Aine away and forcibly interrupting the confrontation.

After knocking Chihaya Aine away, Goto Ichiri swung the bamboo sword in her hand and slashed at Chihaya Aine, who was one step away from her.

After being knocked away by Goto Ichiri, Chihaya Aine's body moved subconsciously and used the bird thorn on Goto Ichiri.

Both of their bamboo swords hit each other.

Goto Ichiri's bamboo sword hit Chihaya Aine's left shoulder.

Chihaya Aine's bamboo sword pierced Goto Ichiri's right chest.

After both hit each other, they retreated several steps and jumped out of the attack range of both sides in one breath.

"it hurts!"

Chihaya Aine now only felt a burning sensation in her left shoulder.

The constant severe pain in her left shoulder almost made Chihaya Aine unable to maintain a steady breath.

Fortunately, because Chihaya Aine was rescued in time, the injury on her left shoulder was not serious.

Although it was painful, it didn't affect Chihaya Aine's use of her left arm much.

Goto Ichiri's previous slash failed to cause enough damage to Chihaya Aine, and Chihaya Aine's previous attack also failed to cause any fatal damage to Goto Ichiri.

Just now, after the tip of Chihaya Aine's sword pierced Goto Ichiri's left chest, Chihaya Aine felt as if she had stabbed something extremely elastic, and 80% of her strength was reduced by it.

Those were a pair of snow-white milk ice cream balls made by Ichiri Goto.

Because Goto Ichiri's milk ice cream ball blocked Chihaya Aine's stab, Chihaya Aine's stab just now did not cause much damage to Goto Ichiri.

However, it can be seen that Chihaya Aine's previous attack also hurt Goto Ichiri.

The evidence was that Goto Ichiri's face turned pale and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead due to the pain.

The two of them took a few breaths, adjusted their breathing which had become a little disordered due to the pain, then they gripped the swords in their hands again and rushed towards each other.

clang!

clang!

clang!

Chihaya Aine's bamboo sword and Goto Ichiri's bamboo sword collided three times in mid-air.

There were actually three gaps on the two men's bamboo swords during the collision.

After the two bamboo swords collided again, Goto Ichiri quickly released his left hand that was holding the hilt of the bamboo sword and grabbed Chihaya Aine's right arm that was holding the sword.

Looking at the left hand stretched out by Goto Ichiri, Chihaya Aine's pupils shrank slightly, and she quickly pulled her arms back, narrowly avoiding Goto Ichiri's hand.

This is also a very common way of attack. When the enemy is not prepared, reach out and grab the enemy's sword-holding arm to control the enemy's movements.

However, Chihaya Aine did not expect that Goto Ichiri would launch such an attack at first.

Chihaya Aine dodged Goto Ichiri's attack, gripped the bamboo sword in her hand again, and pounced towards Goto Ichiri.

The sound of bamboo swords clashing was occasionally interspersed with the dull thud of bamboo swords chopping flesh.

After learning from the lesson just now, Goto Ichiri fought against Chihaya Aion with the determination to fight to the death. Facing some attacks from Chihaya Aion that would not make him lose his combat effectiveness immediately, Goto Ichiri simply did not block them, and used his body to take Chihaya Aion's attacks, while at the same time getting the opportunity to counterattack Chihaya Aion.

Therefore, in just a blink of an eye, Chihaya Aine and Goto Ichiri both had many scars on their bodies caused by bamboo swords.

"No... We can't keep fighting like this..."

After once again creating some distance between herself and Goto Ichiri, Chihaya Aine wiped the sweat from the scar on her forehead while thinking about a countermeasure.

Just now, Goto Ichiri successfully hit Chihaya Aion again. This time, Goto Ichiri hit Chihaya Aion's forehead.

However, the scar was not deep, it only left a red mark that would fade away quickly.

At this moment, the scars on the two men's bodies would not cause fatal injuries in reality, so this battle is far from over.

In terms of strength, Goto Ichiri at this time is actually slightly inferior to Chihaya Aine, whose physical fitness has been suppressed.

At the same time, Chihaya Aine now has stronger eyesight and skills than Goto Ichiri.

Chihaya Aine has already relied on her advantages in eyesight and skills to block countless attacks from Goto Ichiri.

However, although Goto Ichiri's current strength is slightly weaker than Chihaya Aine's in a self-suppressed state, Goto Ichiri has the courage and determination to face death that is enough to make up for this small gap.

Most of the scars on Chihaya Aion's body were caused by Goto Ichiri giving up on defense and choosing to trade injuries with Chihaya Aion.

Chihaya Aine has already judged that if this is a fight to the death, even if she finally defeats Goto Ichiri, she will definitely pay a heavy price.

Chihaya Aine doesn't want to get too injured or become disabled in order to defeat Goto Ichiri.

So, Chihaya Aine stared at Goto Ichiri, thinking of a good strategy to deal with the enemy.

"What's wrong, Aine-chan? Defending without attacking doesn't really suit your fighting style."

After adjusting his breathing, Goto Ichiri laughed for the first time since the battle.

"...I'm just thinking about how to defeat Ichiri-chan, who's improving so quickly."

"Have you figured out a solution now?"

"What a coincidence! Just when you asked me 'what's wrong', I happened to come up with a way to defeat you with one sword."

After saying that, Chihaya Aine turned the sword upside down and directly inserted it into the yellow ground below her feet.

Chihaya Aine's current appearance was as if she was using the bamboo sword as a cane and leaning on the ground.

Whether it was Goto Ichiri on the opposite side or the Ultra Seven in Goto Ichiri's body, after seeing Chihaya Aine's strange sword-holding posture, they all let out exclamations of varying sizes.

"Aine-chan, what is she doing?"

"do not know……"

"What kind of weird posture is this? Why is the sword stuck upside down in the ground..."

"Could this be some secret sword from some school of swordsmanship?"

……

When Chihaya Aine stuck the sword in her hand upside down on the ground, it immediately aroused doubts and discussions among the nobles in the audience.

“Aine-chan, what’s with you doing this?”

Goto Ichiri asked in confusion.

"Keep your nerves tight, Ichiri-chan." Chihaya Aine held the sword stuck in the ground firmly with her right hand.

"I will defeat you in one go with this stance!"

“Stuck your sword upside down in the ground. How are you going to defeat me with this stance, Aine-chan?”

"If you can defeat me, then come and see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Goto Ichiri kicked the ground with his hind legs, stirring up a rain of broken sand, and pounced towards Chihaya Aine.

Looking at Goto Ichiri who was rapidly approaching her, Chihaya Aine narrowed her eyes slightly.

The force is transmitted from the feet to the waist, and then from the waist to the right hand holding the sword.
