"Next I want to practice swordsmanship. Can Stella accompany me for a while?"

Accompanied by a flash of brilliant light, the long sword Yu Yue was already held in Haramura Makoto's hand.

"Of course."

The fiery red lotus feather robe was instantly draped over Stella's body, and flames were burning around him.

"Come and serve me!"

Stella suddenly grabbed the flames rising in front of her.

"——『Fei Long Guilty Sword』!"

……

Time goes back to yesterday evening, the seventh training ground.

"Boy, do you know that besides the big problem in the application of magic power, you have other problems?"

Nishikyo Ning Yin sat leisurely on the chair, the folding fan opened to maintain a gravity of about fifty times, suppressing Haramura Makoto.

"Any...questions...?"

Sweat kept dripping down Haramura Makoto's body like heavy rain, and his black and white school uniform was completely wet.

"It's your swordsmanship, boy."

"Speaking of which, how on earth did you manage to be so biased in one subject?"

Xijing Ningyin had a sarcastic smile on his face.

"As for spearmanship, even Xiao Hei himself said that there is no way to teach you more about it."

"You have perfected the use of a pistol."

"But why is it that you use the sword, which is also your inherent spiritual equipment, in such a mess?"

"In my opinion, you are just like Xiao Bai."

This is a question that has absolutely no way to explain.

After all, from the beginning, Haramura Makoto had never come into contact with this thing, and the most he had used as a close-range weapon was a dagger.

Of course he knew nothing about swords, so he could only respond to Xijing Ningyin's questions with silence.

"Forget it, but it will be easier to teach you if you do this."

……

"Snapped--"

A crisp collision sound was heard immediately.

Facing the sweeping Feilong Zui Sword, Haramura Makoto immediately launched a hasty attack, knocking Stella's sword away.

“Sure enough, Stella’s sword is very heavy.”

"Although I don't know much about swordsmanship, the weight of Stella's sword was definitely transmitted to my hands."

This time, Haramura Makoto did not choose to use his ability to increase his speed.

He was just wielding the sword with pure physical strength. Stella did the same. She did not release her own flames, but just chopped with the Feilongzui Sword.

Both of them were using inherent spiritual equipment released in fantasy form, and neither side was afraid of accidentally hurting the other.

"Huh, you did notice it."

Stella suddenly felt a little happy.

From the moment she awakened her power, she was diagnosed with the strongest magic power in the world and was dubbed a genius.

Whenever she became stronger, whenever she won, people would privately mock her as a genius.

It seemed as if she didn't try hard at all, but became so strong just by relying on her talent.

But how is it actually possible?

In order to control this powerful force, the effort she put in was far greater than those who only talked about it.

Those people would just blame their own laziness on her.

So she hated those guys who could only see her talent but not her efforts.

"In that case, I will continue to attack."

Stella, who was praised, became more motivated now. She held the hilt of the sword with both hands and swung the heavy sword continuously like a whirlwind, like a heavy armored vehicle rushing forward, attacking Haramura Makoto.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this going to put more pressure on me?"

The corner of Haramura Makoto's mouth twitched unnaturally, and he took a step back, swinging his sword to block continuously.

"Clap clap clap-"

Makoto Haramura and Stella were defending and attacking respectively.

One keeps retreating, the other keeps advancing.

They waved their inherent spiritual equipment at each other, causing their swords to frequently cross each other in the air, causing waves of continuous crisp sounds.

In terms of speed and strength, Haramura Makoto and Stella are not much different now.

But when it comes to the sophistication of the moves, the difference between him and Stella is not even a little bit.

So he was always forced to defend.

He was lucky because he had been practicing shooting before and his dynamic vision was very good. When Stella didn't try her best, he could still keep up, albeit with difficulty.

"Haramura-san, if your waist were to drop another fifty centimeters, it would be easier for you to parry."

The tense and exciting training continued, but at this time a strange male voice suddenly sounded.

But now, Haramura Makoto had no intention of caring who the owner of this voice was.

My body did that subconsciously.

"Chong-"

There was another crisp sound of metal clashing.

Stella exerted force with both hands, and the knight's broadsword that was slashing down was perfectly blocked by Haramura Makoto.

Now, the two of them had no interest in continuing the sparring and turned their eyes to the source of the sound.

It was a boy standing in the bushes.

He was wearing a sports suit and didn't look very strong, but he gave people a very sturdy feeling.

The boy had short black hair and was probably about the same age as him.

It was this man who had just given the reminder to Haramura Makoto.

"Cheng, is this someone you know?"

Stella frowned involuntarily.

She thought the atmosphere just now was very good, but it was interrupted by a direct voice.

Such a beautiful atmosphere was wasted.

"No, as far as I can remember, you have no memory of him."

Haramura Makoto didn't even need to recall. He had only been in this world for a few days and the number of people he knew could be counted on one's fingers.

"Feel sorry."

"I couldn't help but speak out because I saw something wrong. The two students definitely don't know me, but I saw the battle between the two students at the tenth training ground yesterday. It was very exciting."

Touching the back of his head, the boy responded in a friendly manner.

"it's okay no problem!"

"The advice just now is very useful and I have benefited a lot from it."

Haramura Makoto didn't show a disgusted expression like Stella did. Instead, he sincerely thanked the boy.

No one is obligated to help you, but since they have been helped, at least a thank you is necessary.

"My name is Haramura Makoto, and I'm a freshman this year."

Makoto Haramura took a few steps forward and then stretched out his hand in front of the boy.

"My name is Kurogane Ikki, and I'm a sophomore repeater. Nice to meet you."

Ikki Kurogane clearly showed an expression of surprise, as if asking why Haramura Makoto was so friendly to him.

But this surprise only lasted for a brief moment, and he immediately reached out and shook hands with Haramura Makoto.

"Black Iron?"

Haramura Makoto was stunned and surprised.

"Hahaha……"

Ikki Kurogane seemed to know why Haramura Makoto reacted like that, and it seemed that he could only use such laughter to cover up his embarrassment.

In a sense, this laughter can be considered as affirmation.

Haramura Makoto was also certain of the answer in his heart.

"It's you, after all."

"In this case, what is your relationship with Hei Tieyan?"

As if he was making the final confirmation, Haramura Makoto gave it to him.

"It's my father."

Ikki Kurogane was becoming more and more helpless, but there was nothing he could do but to accept it.

This time, even Stella's gaze towards Kurogane Ikki changed.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s just because the surname Kurotsuchi has a very important status and significance in Japan.

In World War II, because of the existence of a swordsman, a tiny country like Japan was able to become one of the victorious countries and maintain its superior position in the alliance.

The one he relies on is the swordsman, Kurogatsu Ryuma, also known as - "Samurai Ryuma".

The one Stella looks up to is Kurogatsu Ryoma.

She came all the way to this Far Eastern country to study because she wanted to become someone like Kurogane Ryoma.

But Haramura Makoto knew that this was not the reason why Ikki Kurogane came here.

He was testing his abilities yesterday because of the strange attitude shown by the Japanese branch chief, Takeshi Kurotsuchi, towards Kurono Shinguji.

However, this senior Kurogane Ikki is very famous in this school.

Although he is a member of the Kurogane family, his magic power is only at the F level.

Because of this, this senior's academic journey can be said to be quite difficult. In fact, this guy should have dropped out of school last semester.

But now he actually saw this senior in this school.

This illustrates one thing.

That was what Shinguji Kurono had mentioned, despite the fact that she had defeated her student with the sea released.

"Stella, I know you're curious, but you need to introduce yourself at this time."

Seeing that Stella was still looking at Kurogane Ikki with curiosity, he knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess must have seen Kurogane Ikki's low magic power value.

"Ah, I know."

As if realizing it belatedly, Stella stood beside Haramura Makoto and also extended her hand.

"Stella Famillion, a new student who just enrolled this year, please take care of her."

"Please take care of me."

For Ikki Kurogane, this is a very wonderful feeling.

He was used to all kinds of ridicule and contempt, and he thought that these two A-level knights would despise him in the same way.

I didn't expect that these two people could look at him with a normal attitude.

"Mr. Kurotetsu is very proficient in swordsmanship?"

After the self-introduction, Haramura Makoto immediately asked Kurogane Ikki curiously.
