The grass is so close to the martial arts arena.

There were two pairs of practicing swords and armor.

Stay with practice.

"... are you waiting for this?

"I'm sorry."

While saying so, the torque quickly starts wearing its own protective equipment.

What do you think, martial arts practice?

Almark thought.

Torque may also feel responsible as a team leader in martial arts competitions.

Nevertheless.

If you're practicing, why don't you do it in the martial arts arena. There will be Wendy and Leila at this hour. "

"No."

The torque is flawlessly turned down.

"I'll do it here."

Almark drives away the flying insects in front of his face with his hands and starts wearing his protective gear.

"I'll go out with you... but nothing like this. Even though it's a martial arts field right there."

"Don't slap me in the face. Come on, get in."

Torque is already wearing armor and waiting with a sword.

"... okay."

Almark finished wearing his armor and stood in front of the torque.

"... there's no need to bother."

Torque and raise the sword.

Almark aligns his sword with the tip of the sword.

Then the two of you make a quick break.

Oops.

Almark watched.

The torque has changed.

Previously, there was a gap in the body to compress the opponent, but now the torque in front of me is carefully designed to keep half of the body against Almark and not show the gap.

The two of you draw a circle slowly and slowly, keeping the space between them.

Well done, Torque.

Almark speaks up.

"Broken"

Torque throws up.

I sweat on my forehead.

"There is no gap. I could've hit him from anywhere before."

Almark was honestly surprised to say so.

Certainly, the torso is the only thing that can be driven in by the rules, so it is not like this compared to the actual battle, but nevertheless, the increase in torque was remarkable.

If there is no gap, we have to break it.

Almark pokes his sword lightly.

Torque responds to it and takes time without flying.

Almark stepped in there and pushed into the pursuit.

Torque plays it with a sword.

Almark pierces and receives torque.

The more intense the movement, the more gaps it creates.

As he continued his offensive defenses, Almark discovered several gaps in his torque armor.

"More and more gaps, torque."

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Torque screams desperately as he parries Almark's attack with his sword.

"If there's a gap, you can hit it!

"Well then...."

Almark suddenly changed the angle of the step, poking the torque to the side of the torso.

Gu

The torque squeezed and fell on my knees.

"Shit."

Punch the ground with your fist.

"Again."

That's how I stand up.

"Much better, but we have to attack from there to win, Torque."

"I know you don't have to tell me."

Torque held the sword.

"Again."

"Okay."

Almark aligns his sword with the tip of the torque.

After that, it was the same as the first development.

I don't mind, but since the attack is not slow, it becomes a defense, and Almark throws a hole in it.

"Fuck you."

The torque rises poisoning.

"Again."

Almark stood up seven times according to the torque, but they all did the same thing.

"Shit."

Almark spoke to the kneeling torque.

"Torque, your strength is your great body and power. I feel better, but then I feel like I'm killing your goodness."

Uuuuuuuuh

The torque rises and the sword rises.

"I think it's the same no matter how many times you do it. It's getting a lot darker. Let's finish today."

That's how Almark put his sword on the ground.

"Again."

Torque says.

"Let's finish. I'm going now."

"No."

Torque shakes the neck.

The sun almost sets, and its expression can only be seen in vain.

"Again."

The torque repeats.

"It's no longer safe."

Almark also shakes his head.

"Practicing martial arts is not something you can see around you in the dark."

"Almark!

The torque roared.

"Take it. That's the last of it."

The torque looked desperate.

"... okay."

Almark nodded and picked up the sword again.

"This is really the last time."

Align the tip of the sword with the torque sword while saying so.

Face to face with one another.

The torque moves with the same torque as before.

The sun sets and the body looks like a black shadow.

It's really dangerous when it gets darker. Let's make a decision.

Almark stepped forward.

However, the moment I filled the gap, the torque also came forward.

Oh, are you willing?

At that moment, Almark felt uncomfortable.

Torque interval is much closer.

No, this is...

Shit.

Almark feels dangerous and tries to pull in and defend the sword he was putting out.

However, the torque sword is faster.

Clearly different quality from the previous one, the thrust of the body is flying.

Almark gave up taking the sword and jumped out with his body twisting.

The torque sword grabbed the armor and made a sharp sound.

"Chi!"

Torque tongue.

Almark's sword captured the torque's torso, which was stretched out by the thrust of his body.

Ugh

The torque falls to the ground.

I hit it pretty hard because of it.

Are you okay, Torque?

Almark knelt in a hurry.

Torque looked up at Almark with a distressing face.

But after a moment of silence, he starts laughing loudly.

"Kuku, haha. I finally made you look real."

Huh?

"I didn't like it. In martial arts, you always have plenty of room to face. Kuku, your face was awesome when you dodged my poke. I didn't have to tell you if it hit my torso as hard as I could."

"Torque, you can't do that."

Almark looks at the torque with an astonishing face.

"Did you make me fight until dark?"

Torque smiles with a sweaty face.

"Did you lose in the same way every time, and let me down, so that only in the last match, when you were in the dark, you changed your sword to your left hand?"

It wasn't a bright martial arts arena, but was it because of the focus on fighting outside?

The left-hand thrust was sweet. I knew you weren't good at it. "

That said, the torque woke up the upper body.

"Suddenly you were in a hurry."

As Almark nodded honestly, the torque smiled again and shook his head.

What a pity.

But this can't be used in martial arts competitions.

Martial Arts Competition Nanza

Torque laughs with his nose.

"Like you said, I'll overwhelm you with my body and power. I can't see it from the edge."

Well, maybe this is...

"That's right. I've been thinking about blowing you away since the day I lost to you. I was one step away."

Almark stood up sighing.

Really? I thought I was practicing martial arts. "

"... you can't win with your strength, you have to use your strategy. If you're mistaken, I'll use it. I didn't mean to lie to you."

Indeed, Torque never told me to keep up with martial arts practice.

"I couldn't forgive myself if I kept losing without paying you an arrow."

Torque said.

"Your face just now. Let's just say it's okay."

Moving forward with this, the torque mutters.

"Do you despise me as a coward?"

That said, the torque looked up at Almark.

Although it was dark and his expression was unclear, the strong light in his eyes looked at Almark.

Almark shook his head.

"No, I respect that, Torque."

The strength may be attributed to the strength Almark is familiar with.

Almark held out his right hand to help the torque as he tried to get up.

Torque shakes his neck and rejects it.

"I don't need your help."

Stand up on your own while you say it.

"I stand up on my own. Always and always will be."
