Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Ziggy sighed.

"In that case - I didn't seem to say that I wouldn't interfere with this test, did I?"

[It is great that you are willing to be a test subject for Deus Ex Machina, Mr. Zieg. I am very grateful.]

The voice of Hiraga Reizumi came out from the student handbook, and at that moment, the rock giant had completed the regeneration of his body. While the body that was shattered by the Dragon Flash returned to its original state, its height was much taller than before. It should be 55 meters tall, right?

[Well, I'll have to trouble you from now on, Sieg-san]

"Snapped!"

Without continuing to talk to Ping He Lingquan, Zigg hung up the phone and sighed helplessly.

(Have I been influenced by the student council president? Taking the initiative to do such a troublesome thing.)

"Mr. Sieg!"

Toudou Touka's voice seemed to echo it, and her figure came out from the forest not far away. Seeing that the rock giant behind Sieg had raised his right fist like a huge rock, Toudou Touka almost subconsciously placed her hand on [Murakami] at her waist.

however--

Blood is Ice

“Crack————————!”

A matter of a moment.

Without even moving a finger, Sieg simply relied on the surging cold current released from his whole body to freeze the rock giant behind him into a super-large ice sculpture over 50 meters high!

"You're here pretty quick, Student Council President. I can handle this on my own."

"...That won't do."

After recovering from the shock, Toudou Daohua came to Sieg's side and said, "Although you are very powerful, protecting the students of our school is also one of the responsibilities of the student council. Besides, the reason we came to Okutama this time, in addition to cleaning, is because the chairman of the board of directors entrusted the student council to deal with the rumors of the "Monster of Okutama" that spread from here."

"Monster from Otama? That's what you mean?"

Sieg pointed at the frozen giant.

Toudou Daohua nodded slightly, "That should be the case. Some time ago, people said that a monster appeared in the mountains of Okutama. Although there were no casualties, there were many eyewitness reports. In order to ensure that the subsequent intensive training can proceed smoothly, the chairman asked our student council to handle it."

"Now it seems that this is the giant - but in the eyewitness reports, it is not so huge."

(Okutama's monster... In other words, this isn't the first time this has been tested? It's been tested many times before?)

Sieg frowned slightly.

(I’ll have to ask this later… Tsk, why am I causing trouble for myself again? I should just get rid of this big guy first——)

"Crack!"

A shattering sound interrupted Zig's thoughts.

The rock giant that should have been completely frozen by the ice is now breaking free from the ice layer bit by bit, and even... looks like it is swallowing up the ice layer, making it a part of itself?

(Hiraga Reizumi... her skills are quite high. She can do this from such a distance.)

(Having said that──)

"Let's go together, Sieg-san. This giant doesn't look like an opponent that can be easily defeated."

Toudou Touka placed his hand on the hilt of [Narakamiya].

But Sieg just pulled her aside and said, "I'm enough on my own. It's just right that the student council president is away for a while... I can also try out what I've learned recently."

"Eh?"

(What have you learned recently? Is it the result of Sieg-san's practice?)

Dongtang Daohua thought with some doubt, and the next moment, as Sieg held the silver sword with both hands, the appearance of the silver sword also underwent a very obvious change, quickly changing from a very simple one-handed straight sword to a thinner and sharper one... and even with some curves.

(That is...)

"——Namikami?"

Toudou Daohua looked at the silver sword in Sieg's hand in amazement as it changed its posture. Although it cannot be said to be exactly the same, the silver sword...or the style of the silver knife, was really similar to her [Murakami].

At the same time, Sieg also made a move that Toudou Daohua was very familiar with.

"Da Shangdan... Mr. Sieg, what have you been learning during this period of time--"

“——【Dragon Explosion Slash】”

Along with Sieg's low groan, the silver sword transformed into the shape of a Japanese sword suddenly slashed down vertically at the speed of thunder!

The energy of the Explosive Dragon Flash condensed on the blade burst out in an instant along the trajectory outlined by the tip of the blade!

“BOOM——————————!!!”

The flash of light that could devour everything now turned into a sword that could split everything in half, splitting the tall giant, the mountains and forests behind it, and even the road farther away into two!

81. [Dragon Blasting]

Nearly a month had passed since Sieg began learning swordsmanship from Edwards.

During this period, Edwards did not teach Sieg her unique skills, but only taught him the basic sword moves of various sword techniques that everyone who has learned swordsmanship has learned.

Chop, cut, stab, and flick... these are the only basic moves that Sieg learned.

During a dinner, Edwards said to Zieg:

[Your sword-cutting skill seems to be just a simple release of explosive energy, but if you can further shape it,

82. Stella wants to become a disciple?

By the time I returned to the training site and washed off all the dirt on my body, it was already completely dark.

Sieg was too lazy to go back to Yueying Moya's villa, so he sent a message saying that he would not go back and stayed at the training location, preparing dinner with Dongtang Daohua and the others.

Because the training site did not have much supply reserves, dinner was kept as simple as possible. Fortunately, Dongtang Daohua and other student union members prepared some in advance, and in the end they made a table of garlic curry rice that satisfied everyone - it is said that this is the secret recipe of Dongtang Daohua and two other student union members.

After dinner time is over...

"999...1000..."

In the open space behind the training dormitory, holding the popsicle he had made himself, Sieg practiced the basics of swordsmanship one by one.

This is a habit he has developed in the past month. After a full day of training, he reviews what he has learned today before going to bed at night, and consolidates what he has mastered before. Edwards said that exercise requires perseverance, especially basic exercise. Although this will not bring about direct improvement, long-term exercise will definitely make you progress.

“You’re here?”

Walking out of the back door of the training dormitory, Stella came to Zieg and said to him, "You have been practicing this for almost a month? You look pretty good at it."

"1031...1032...1033 - if you have something to say, just tell me - 1035..."

Without stopping to swing his sword because of Stella's words, Sieg said as he swung his sword that his night review required him to swing the sword two thousand times, and this was only halfway through.

Seeing his reaction, Stella didn't speak immediately. Instead, she looked like she didn't know how to start. She hesitated for a long time before finally opening her mouth: "Well... I don't have much to say, I just think you've become even more powerful."

"Those two loud explosions in the mountains... I know you were responsible, especially the second to last one - that one was even more powerful than your original one, right?"

"When I think about how you've moved on again, and I haven't even gotten over the psychological trauma you've left on me, I feel a little... oh~~~ I can't handle the pressure even more than I thought."

Not sure if this was talking to herself or pouring out her heart, Stella leaned against the wall and spoke with a gloomy look on her face.

“——1050.”

After swinging for the 1050th time, Sieg temporarily stopped his night training and turned to Stella: "Stretch out your hand."

"Eh?"

The sudden command made Stella slightly stunned, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand. Before she could react, Sieg had already shaken it.

(————!)

Stella suddenly felt her stomach churning and she almost wanted to spit out the curry rice she had just eaten less than an hour ago! But after being tormented by Sieg for almost two months, Stella was more or less used to this level of physical contact. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to suppress the discomfort!

Looking at Sieg with a somewhat pale face, Stella glared at him: "I just had dinner! If you want to do the adaptation training, wait until I have digested it!"

"But you held back, didn't you? Even though it was the result of time grinding, you have indeed made progress. If that's the case, then why are you anxious or uneasy?" Sieg let go of her hand. "You are the holder of the world's strongest magic power. According to the theory of this world, you will become the strongest person in the world sooner or later, and that will probably happen after you are 30 years old."

"You are only 15 years old now. You still have a long time to go. Just take your time."

"...I'll just take this as you comforting me."

Stella sighed slightly and covered her hand that Sieg had held. "But now I can't even completely defeat Senior Sister Dongtang, let alone you. I also sparred with her a few times when you were away, and I only won two or three times out of ten."

"That brother who loves his sister can easily beat her... How can I stand on the top of the Seven Stars if I continue like this? I have no idea how to cultivate my supernatural powers."

(Still feeling anxious?)

It seemed that Sieg's consolation had no effect at all.

However, if you say it's natural, then it's also natural, right? Stella was already the strongest in Familion before, and after coming to Japan, she first suffered a very serious defeat at the hands of Sieg, and then she encountered knights who were far better than her.

She is a competitive person, so it is inevitable that she would have this kind of reaction.

"In that case...why don't you try to find a master?"

"Master?" Stella frowned. "Let someone come to teach me? Hmm... it's a good idea, but who would be willing to be my master?"

This is indeed one reason, but on the other hand, it is also difficult to find someone who can be Stella's master.

After all, if you want to guide Stella, you have to be an A-level knight at least, and a swordsman of the same type as her, otherwise it will be difficult to give her correct guidance.

Sieg was also in a dilemma for a moment, and he just said it later.

And at this moment——

"Hmm? Stella-san wants to find a teacher?"

Dongtang Daohua's voice came from inside the house.

Dongtang Daohua, who had changed into casual clothes, walked out of the house: "Sorry, I wasn't eavesdropping, I just happened to be passing by..."

"No, that's okay. Does the student council president have any recommendations for teachers?"

"Hmm... I don't know if I can contact my master. He's not young anymore. Besides... Mr. Xijing?" Dongtang Daohua said a name that all three of them were familiar with. "As for a teacher who can guide Stella, I think Mr. Xijing should be very suitable."

(Yashahime? Indeed, the two are almost the same type──)

"Then I'll try to contact them right now?" Stella was also a little uncertain.

Xijing Ningyin is ranked third in the world and is regarded as the strongest swordsman in the Eastern Pacific. Her strength is unquestionable. But whether she can teach others... This is really a question, after all, her usual practical courses are a bit perfunctory.

"Well, go ahead. I just happen to have something to say to Sieg-san." Dongtang Daohua looked at Sieg, "Just think of it as an after-dinner walk. Can you go for a walk with me, Sieg-san?"

"...wait until I finish the rest of the exercise. I still have about 1000 swings left."

83. The Eyes That See Through Logic

After completing two thousand sword swings, Sieg and Toudou Daohua left the training ground. Taking advantage of the slightly cool night breeze after the rain, the two walked one after the other on the mountain road leading to the training dormitory.

Looking at the back of Dongtang Daohua who was walking in front of him with her hands behind her back and her pigtails swaying from side to side, Zigg put his hands in his pockets and followed her silently.

It was she who said that she had something to say to Qi Ge, so before she spoke, Qi Ge didn't plan to speak either.

"Thank you so much for what you did this afternoon, Sieg-san."

After walking for a while, Dongtang Daohua suddenly said, "I have worked with sword-cutters who can do similar things before, and the sword-cutters I know can only control within a distance of about 500 meters at most. But the giant in the afternoon... Just looking at the size, I know that it should not be a puppet made by an ordinary person."

"If I fight it, even if I win in the end, I will have to pay a certain price. So I am really grateful that you can take action to deal with it, Sieg-san. As the student council president of Pojun Academy, I am very happy that there is such an outstanding person like you among my juniors."

"...I'll take it if you thank me, even though I don't think it's necessary."

Zieg didn't expect that Toudou Daohua would talk to him about this again: "Besides, I think the curry rice before was already a thank you. It tasted very good."

"Haha, after all, that was something I worked on with Kanata and Bubble - ah, I said the vice president and accountant of the student union."

Vice President of the Student Union——Yufu Foam.

Student Union Accountant - Bifang Guideyuan.

Sieg had met these two people at the dinner table before. The former was a very thin little boy, and the latter was the eldest daughter of the Kitahara Zaibatsu, one of the most powerful chaebols in Japan. It was said that the nurseries where Toudou Touka and Mifubumo lived were all owned by the Kitahara Zaibatsu, so including Kitahara Kanata, the three of them had a childhood sweetheart relationship.

As for tonight's curry rice, it was something the three of them practiced when they were children in order to use limited ingredients to make a filling and delicious dish. Although the steps are the same as normal curry rice, a special seasoning is added to make it taste much better than ordinary curry rice.
