Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

He got to know Kurogane Ikki.

He knew that this guy couldn't possibly have a master, and no one would teach him swordsmanship.

It is possible that he has not even had a qualified opponent in these years.

In other words, he was able to achieve his current accomplishments by working behind closed doors, relying on his own sweat and meditation practice.

All this shows that Ikki Kurogane's swordsmanship skills are far beyond ordinary people.

If the knight rating test in this world included swordsmanship, it is estimated that Kurogane Ikki would be at least A-level, and more likely above that.

"Cheng, you're making rapid progress as well."

While Haramura Makoto was expressing his surprise at him, he was also expressing his surprise at Haramura Makoto.

He swung his sword again to block Haramura Makoto's slash.

Kurogane Ikki sighed deeply.

He had not had much contact with other swordsmen. The only things he had seen were some swordsman videos he had watched on the Internet, and the times when he had risked his life to challenge those swordsmanship dojos in order to hone himself.

So he didn't know how fast a normal swordsman grew.

But he felt that Makoto Haramura was growing very fast.

In such a short period of time, Haramura Makoto was like a sponge, madly absorbing the knowledge and swordsmanship he taught him.

Let's put it this way.

If we compare the speed of his swordsmanship improvement to his own age.

At the beginning, Haramura Makoto's skills were at most at the level of when he first touched the sword at the age of five. Now, Haramura Makoto has at least the swordsmanship skills he had when he was nine years old.

"Makoto, you are a natural swordsman."

"Your flexible wrists and soft joints allow you to unleash your body's maximum strength in any position in an instant."

He completely saw through Haramura Makoto and Kurogane Ikki, and directly pointed out why Haramura Makoto was able to make such great progress.

"Although I don't have any relevant moves, there is one move I want you to see."

"I think you are very suitable for this kind of swordsmanship."

Kurogane Ikki stated this and then took a step back.

"it is good!"

Without asking what Kuroyuki Ikki was, Haramura Makoto also took a step back and stared at Kuroyuki Ikki's wrist.

At this, Kurogane Ikki also took a deep breath.

I saw him stepping forward with his left foot, with his back foot behind and his knees half bent, in a posture similar to horse stance, and the Yin Iron was also placed behind his waist and abdomen.

"—"

The feeling in the air suddenly changed, as if a storm was about to come, and Haramura Makoto felt a palpitation.

"Alright!"

As soon as the words fell.

"choke--"

The clear sound of a blade chirping spread directly throughout the space.

"—"

Haramura Makoto's pupils suddenly shrank.

His pupils changed instantly, emitting a strange red light.

At this moment, it seemed that the world around him slowed down a little, and Haramura Makoto was finally able to see clearly.

A flash of knife light appeared in front of him.

There was no time to dodge. Even if he accelerated his body functions, transmitted signals and used magic power, it was enough for the sword to cut his throat.

"boom--"

The magic power surged out of his body and blocked the sword blade.

And now, the sword blade was only less than a millimeter away from his neck.

"Feel sorry."

"Nothing. This is enough to prove that Cheng's reflexes are very fast."

"Although I'm not very good at drawing the sword and slashing, it's not easy to react to such an attack."

Ikki Kurogane looked at Haramura Makoto, and his eyes glowed red.

If you want to become an excellent swordsman, let’s put aside the mental will and other things for now.

Just talking about the body.

The most important things are control over your body's joints and speed of nerve reflexes.

Generally speaking, both of these can be compensated through acquired training.

He is just like this, he has been deliberately practicing these two things since he was young.

But there are some people who are born with these two enviable talents.

Haramura Makoto is such a person.

"So it's the sword-drawing slash?"

Haramura Makoto was also slightly surprised.

"Why, Cheng, you have done research on the sword-drawing slash before."

After dispersing the Yin Iron in his hand, Ikki Kurogane walked up to Haramura Makoto and asked curiously.

"Forget it, I'll just show you."

Haramura Makoto didn't say much, he just signaled Kurogane Ikki to make way, and then pointed to a big tree in front of him.

Along with the condensation of starlight, a crack appeared directly on his hanging right hand.

"Bang bang bang bang-"

Flashes suddenly appeared around Haramura Makoto, and gunshots suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, four circular craters of moderate size appeared on the big tree that Haramura Makoto was pointing at.

"A gun with an invisible firing point. I see. It's a spear technique that was transformed from drawing a sword."

"No wonder you are so familiar with it, Chengjun."

"No wonder the degree of wrist flexibility is so high."

Everything needs training before talent can be realized, otherwise talent will just be talent.

Haramura Makoto, who has been using grappling hooks for many years and practicing spearmanship, has already trained his body.

"But that's fine, too."

"If you want to learn how to draw your sword, it will be much easier."

On a bench not far away, Kurogane Shizuku and Stella were sitting.

That’s right, these two guys who are incompatible with each other are now sitting here, looking at Haramura Makoto and Kurogane Ikki not far away.

"Brother, you seem very happy."

On the other hand, Kurogane Jushizuku had a jealous look on her face, with her little mouth raised high.

"Obviously this should be the time for Makoto and I to practice."

"It would be great if I could replace him with him. Then I can kiss and kiss my brother."

"..."

Two lines of sight that would never have intersected overlapped at this moment.

"So Miss Stella, you are so... "

"Don't, don't say that..."

Kurogane Jushizuku asked suspiciously, and Stella cried out in shame and anger.

But for some reason, Stella always felt that the hostility in Kurogane Jushizuku's eyes towards her suddenly decreased a lot.

Then, Shizuku Kuroganezhu spoke.

"If that's the case, Your Highness Stella, let's cooperate."

……

Late at night, Stella, who had been lying on the upper bunk and unable to fall asleep for a long time, was thinking quietly.

In fact, it would be more accurate to say it was early morning rather than late at night. After all, it was already five o'clock in the morning of the next day. In another hour, it would be the time for the morning exercise that she and Makoto Haramura had agreed to do every day.

And there was only one reason why she couldn't sleep all night.

That was what Kurogane Shushizuku had said to her during the day at night.

"Your Highness Stella, let's cooperate."

As she came back to her senses in a daze, the annoying face of Kurogane Jushizuku began to appear in her mind.

"Cooperation? What cooperation?"

This sudden and unprepared sentence made Stella fall into confusion.

"Cooperation in attack and defense."

A hint of solemnity also flashed across Kurogane Jushizuku's emerald green eyes.

"What does this mean..."

Stella still didn't fully understand what Kurogane Shuzuku meant.

But Kurogane Jushizuku was not annoyed at all, she just raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"First, I want you to admit something. Even if you disagree, you can't shout it out loud, otherwise your brothers might notice."

Maybe it's because there have always been quarrels between the two of them, and they are incompatible.

Suddenly, Kurogane Jushizuku showed such a serious attitude that Stella was dazed for a moment and nodded subconsciously.

"You have a crush on Haramura Makoto, right?"

The blood seemed to rush to her brain in an instant, and the feeling of shame squeezed her heart madly. The words of rebuttal rushed directly to her lips and wanted to blurt out.

But the agreement she had just made with Kurogane Shushizuku caused her body temperature, which had instantly risen, to drop a little.

This state lasted for quite a while, and Stella nodded with a low hum as soft as the flapping of mosquito wings.

"Ok!"

"It's much easier this way."

Kurogane Shizuku clapped her hands, and her smile was like that of a little devil, as if she had completely controlled Stella.

"Your Highness Stella, I have to tell you something. Your current situation is quite bad."

It wasn't just bad, she was feeling extremely bad.

The feeling that the initiative in the conversation was completely taken by someone else made her feel inferior to Kurogane Jushizuku, but she was curious and still cast a questioning look and asked.

“Why am I in such a bad situation?”

"Of course it's on the competitors."

Kurogane Jushizuku shook her slender legs wrapped in black stockings.

"You must know how rare it is for a swordsman to be rated as an A-class knight while still a student, Your Highness Stella."

"Throughout history, there has only been one time when the 'World Clock' and 'Yashahime' appeared at the same time, ten years ago."

The knight's level can be improved by completing tasks, such as increasing his magic control, improving his combat skills, and developing more ways to use his sword powers.

Generally speaking, a C-class knight has the potential to be upgraded to an A-class knight.

The chance of a B-class knight being upgraded to an A-class knight is also higher. In fact, many A-class knights in the league are actually upgraded later.

"And now an A-rank knight has appeared again, and he is an A-rank knight without a master or any background."
