“I can’t learn it.”

Blood flowed down Haramura Makoto's arm, and Haramura Makoto's face became gloomy.

As for Edwards's accelerated sword, he is confident that he can replicate it by training his muscles.

But he saw no hope of replicating Edwards's slowing sword.

After all, compared to pure swordsmanship, he is better at combining supernatural powers with his sword.

What's more, his spiritual equipment is not just a sword.

Indeed, many people said that he was very talented in swordsmanship, but he himself knew very well that it was only referring to his physical talent.

But to truly hold a sword and stand at the top, one must have a sincere heart towards the sword.

To him, the sword is just a means of attack.

He will never be able to achieve the same as Ikki Kurogane and Edwards.

Therefore, there was no possibility for him to learn Edwards' second sword.

In addition, Edwards also transmitted the vibration force into the sword that he had just stopped, causing him to fly backwards uncontrollably and hit the space fault that Edwards had cut open.

"Is this all your enlightenment is?"

at this time.

A cold voice sounded from outside. It was not loud, but it reached his ears like drizzling rain.

"When will you be able to let go of those unnecessary distractions?"

Extra distractions!

These words were not something that could wake Haramura Makoto up from his dream. In fact, he had already known what his problem was, but he had never deliberately thought about it.

He has always been clear that he is not obsessed with becoming stronger.

Although he is also very hardworking, he also works very hard.

But after all, he did not devote himself to it as wholeheartedly as Kurogane Ikki and Kurogane Ouma.

This kind of mentality can make him a strong man.

Because he has such talent and ability to support him.

But this kind of mentality will become a stumbling block on his road to becoming the strongest.

Also, he doesn't have that kind of unstoppable momentum.

Think about it carefully.

All the difficulties and obstacles he has faced so far, aren't they all things he is willing to face only when he is certain of success?

I can’t say that there is absolute certainty, but the success rate must be extremely high.

But when faced with things that are obviously uncertain, like the current confrontation with Edwards, his first thought is definitely to run.

But if it were Ikki Kurogane, he would not do the same as Haramura Makoto.

He himself would also know what it meant to draw his sword against the world's strongest swordsman.

However, Ikki Kurogane will only become more excited.

He will regard this battle as a test for himself. Even though there is a 99% chance that he will die here after this battle, Kurogane Ikki will still not regret it.

The same goes for Black Iron Royal Horse.

(But should I continue like this?)

Haramura Makoto was in confusion.

Don't be impulsive or lose your temper. Always make it your primary goal to protect yourself and never do anything you are not sure of.

This has been the creed he has been adhering to since he was a child.

Of course, it was precisely because of his character that he was able to fight his way up from the bottom of Academy City from being penniless.

Do you really think it's easy to fight your way out of the bottom of Academy City?

It is filled with all kinds of intrigues, tricks, and blood.

You don't know when to lower your head or when to pretend, and you just rush forward like a fool. Sooner or later, you will be swallowed up by others without leaving even a bone.

Is he going to change now?

His transformation now is almost equivalent to abandoning his past self.

So, do you want to make yourself pure?

Makoto Haramura also doesn't know the specific answer to this question.

Edwards did not make any more movements, but just stood there quietly, totally unlike the murderous look he had just now, as if he was going to kill him.

He could see the confusion in Makoto Uehara.

"If you can get here, you can probably see the door."

Edwards looked at Haramura Makoto and thought to himself.

That's right, just like Haramura Makoto thought, there was no point for Edwards to attack him.

Edwards still has a good relationship with Hikojiro Nango.

She came over to attack Haramura Makoto and wanted to help push Haramura Makoto away.

Of course, she wanted to repay Nango Hikojiro's kindness through Haramura Makoto, but she was also curious about Haramura Makoto.

If Nango Hikojiro could find something unusual about Haramura Makoto, then why couldn't Edwards find it?

She also discovered that Haramura Makoto was not affected by fate.

She also once doubted the option that Haramura Makoto was a natural-born demon.

However, there are still some doubts here.

Since he is a natural born demon, why didn't Haramura Makoto's magic power increase?

So there must be many special things about Haramura Makoto, and she was very curious.

She wants to push Haramura Makoto to his limit today to see if there are any special changes in Haramura Makoto.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Edwards groaned softly, his eyes full of surprise.

"So fast?"

"But why? Why is this kid's aura unclear?"

She has seen the transformation process of several demons.

It should be a process from being ready to go to being sharp.

Why was Haramura Makoto's transformation process like this?

……

“Do I really need to think so much?”

"No, it's not necessary."

Haramura Makoto's eyes suddenly became firm.

Indeed, he likes to consider and think a lot before doing anything, and will only put into practice things when he is sure of them. He does not have the kind of momentum to move forward.

But he had another advantage.

That is, when making a decision, I never hesitate. Once I make up my mind, I will devote myself to it wholeheartedly without thinking about retreating.

It is obvious that the path he is taking now has become a shackle for him.

If this is not a world that requires the use of force, and the next world he goes to is not a world that requires the use of force, then that's fine.

But unfortunately, this is not possible.

In this world, there is a swordsman who can defeat an entire country alone.

In his original world, there were beings like Academy City's No. 1 who could withstand nuclear bombs.

He needs stronger force.

He needs more power.

In this world where power is supreme, only those with power have the right to make the rules.

It is indeed important to plot and weigh the pros and cons.

But in the face of true power, these things are not worth mentioning.

Shouldn't he have understood these things in the past sixteen years?

If he had super powers and was also Lv5, why would he have to struggle so hard?

Because he has no strength, he needs to struggle hard.

Because he has no power, he needs to scheme and plot.

That's why he worked hard to train himself so that even though he was just an ordinary person, he could fight against people with special abilities.

But that was the limit after all; his power limited him.

"Yeah, I need to change a lot, don't I?"

There was a sudden gleam in Haramura Makoto's eyes.

It is like the sun, a brighter light than ever before.

There was only calmness on his face, but the gaze in his pupils was indeed extremely firm. It was a natural and concentrated will.

Force yourself to pursue one thing wholeheartedly.

Without any impurities, the power of the mind is brought to an extreme.

A huge stone gate appeared directly in front of Haramura Makoto.

Yes, it was not Haramura Makoto who was approaching, but the stone gate appeared directly in front of Haramura Makoto.

A stone gate dozens of meters high, a completely enclosed space.

There is no decoration on the door, but one can clearly feel the heaviness of this stone door, which is as heavy as the stars.

"I see. This is the obstacle Ikki has overcome today."

Magical power surged crazily in Haramura Makoto's body. At the same time, he slowly raised his sword, and all his energy and spirit were highly concentrated.

Suddenly, Haramura Makoto's legs moved.

He took a sudden step forward, and in the next moment, he was already very close to the stone gate.

“——『Time Distortion』!”

The battle to seize this space suddenly appeared as a sword light that split the sky and the earth in two.

"choke--"

The chanting sound that broke through the sky was also transmitted belatedly.

"Now I can cut everything off."

"It's just a shackle. Watch me break free for you."

The sudden bright sword light even illuminated the dim space.

"Chong-"

A sword mark that ran through the entire stone gate appeared directly on the stone gate.

"Rumble--"

In an instant, the stone door was split into two halves, falling down one after the other, and then the broken stone door turned into crystal fragments and dissipated in the air.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to do it so quickly."

A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and Haramura Makoto didn't even have time to be surprised before a dizzy feeling hit his head.

When he woke up again, he was already in an empty space.

There was nothing on the open space, not even weeds, just bare yellow soil.
