Instant Death

Various figures surround Kensei in the center of the square. That number would exceed a hundred. The night fogs were on the outer edge of the crowd.

The surroundings were murderous. But no one moved yet.

Some of you will be watching how things go, and some of you think Kensei's words will still go on.

"You got a minute? If you kill all the people in here, it automatically means I'm Kensei, right?

How confident a voice was uttered in a tense air.

It's the voice of a black man in front of the fogs at night.

Black shirt, black trousers, black cape. It was the black sheath that was carrying it, and even the pattern was black.

"No comment. But if you dare, you're disqualified if this is the kind of interview you see in character."

"Nah!?"

Was it an unexpected response, the black man solidified.

"You know. Don't ask me anything. Think before you ask. I'm sure there's a chance he's out just asking."

Kensei seemed frightened. And those who heard the word became ever more cautious.

"Um, are you out-of-the-box kind?

Chichika asks. But the night fog didn't seem that way.

"A kind person wouldn't tell you to kill each other. Hey, you got a minute?

Night fog raised his hand and called on Kensei.

The surrounding gaze concentrated simultaneously on the night fog.

"What the hell. Were you listening to me?

Kensei became even more frightened.

"I don't care if I'm disqualified or whatever. We just happened to be on the street, and we're not gonna kill each other, okay?

"Hey, what the hell!

Before Kensei, the dragon girl on his side was surprised.

"Now you'll have met Kensei, won't you? Just take me to the exit. So, what do you say?

The night fog replied to the girl and pressed Kensei for an answer.

"You know what? You happen to have come all this way? It doesn't seem like there's an atmosphere where you realize you're scared, but if you forgive me for that, it's not good enough... so here's what you're gonna do. If anyone runs from this square, you're all disqualified. Based on that, think about the situation."

"Hey, you've been a pain in the ass"

Apparently, the night fogs have been incorporated as part of the exam in what I'm saying now.

"Look, I did it. I did it. Kensei, I'm hung up. I don't know what it is. I don't want to see you guys making out. We're splitting up time, right? Enough now. If we don't get less than half after enough, we're all disqualified."

The words triggered the situation.

A black man pulled the sword out of his back.

No one was alarmed. I guess the man's knife pull was just brilliant. The man next door had been slaughtered without any exchanging skills.

A sword entered from his left shoulder gently slips out to his right flank. Because of the power of that blow, the slashed man split in two and blew flashly.

And part of the man fell right on the side of Chichika.

"Oops."

Chichika took a step back and avoided the body of the man who had rolled over.

"Your Lord has grown accustomed to the place."

Neither the ghost nor this one said as he was impressed.

"I can't even say it right now..."

An anger began to sound around me while I was saying that. Each one of them started the fight.

"Ah!"

"What's going on?

When the night fog raised its surprise, Chichika heard it.

"No, that man's sword is black to the point of being full of himself," he said.

"Oh really, it's so black... I don't care!

"But I wonder what's going on. It's easy to escape, though."

In that case, something would appear that would try to stop it. That's what I tried to say, and soon it became a reality.

Did they see it as easy to give, or did they think they were going to run first? A number of them pointed their swords at the fogs at night.

Then let's kill him.

Almost at the same time that the night fog decided so, a swordsman with silver armor came forward to cover the night fogs.

Full plate armor but not too heavy, it was also like a matching suit. Each part seems to be pretty thin and smartly made, and not wearing a helmet would be one reason to think so.

"Rest assured. You guys, I'll protect you!

The swordsman turns his refreshing smile to the night fogs and immediately turns back forward.

"You guys do stupid things, too. Master Kensei's intentions are as if he had no idea! There's no way you can forgive Kensei for just killing people indiscriminately! This is that test to see if you can take the action you deserve as a sword saint!

"Hey, some places are accommodating, but he's a decent guy...... but he doesn't believe that easily!

Given what's been going on, it's even suspicious if this person is decent. Chichika couldn't help but think so.

"It's pretty good. It's quite powerful to be gathered here just to go for sword saints and do it, but this man has one head out '

The silver swordsman lightly adorns several of the men he has called at the same time, using his sword and shield.

The policy on this occasion seemed non-lethal, and the swordsman showed strength enough to do it even after doing so.

But no matter how strong this man is, it's only as a swordsman.

I can't handle it from a distance to something that targets the Mists at night with magic and flying tools.

The moment I felt a clear intention to kill, the night fog activated my powers.

About ten people fell in unison.

"Mm? What the hell is this?

A silver swordsman stopped the hand of battle for a moment before an inexplicable event.

"That's right, erm..."

"Right, with the help of Kensei! Kensei doesn't have a sword, and he didn't seem to be moving in any way, but I guess it's something that Kensei doesn't have to make, such as this degree! That means you've been defeated by the bad guys!

Chichika tried to deceive me somehow, but it didn't seem necessary.

And the raider, who preceded the swordsman's strength and the inexplicable death, lightly changed its spearhead.

"Hmm. You'll be relieved for one second. He said that he happened to have been rinsed. I know it's a disaster, but the trials of Kensei are also important. Can't we please hang out for a while longer?

I guess I stabbed the nail because if anyone escapes, they will all be disqualified. Night fog not something I learned about Kensei, etc., but I was also hesitant to smash it down.

"Okay. I'll see how it goes for a while."

"It helps that you understand. Don't worry, we'll do our best not to harm you."

In the meantime, it was agreed to continue the static observation.

Nothing is coming for the fogs at night at the moment, and the surrounding area is as if it were cloudy, but I heard a weak voice there.

"... Ugh... help..."

The mists turned their eyes to the source of their voices.

He was the first man to be slashed.

He is rolling to the ground with only his head and right hand because he was cut off diagonally. It's a strange state to be alive.

"This is... unfortunately"

Silver swordsman shakes his head. I guess I decided I couldn't apply my hand. I also agreed with the night fog.

"No, um, don't give up easily... that, there she is. Come here, help me!

You squeezed your last power, the man was screaming desperately.

"Hmm. You can talk a lot when your lungs are dysfunctional."

"Uh. What do you think we should do?

"I don't think it means you're up to something, because I'm not killing you."

"Oh, yeah? Well, if you want to see it..."

Chichika approached the falling man.

"Um, are you okay? I could hold my hand."

"... you know, it's falling there, pick up a rainbow stone..."

There were brilliant rainbow stones scattered around. It's a man's possession, and he seems to have smashed it when it was slashed.

Chichika picked up a rainbow stone.

"This, what is it?

"It's... it's an apology stone..."

"Apologize? So what?

"... let me grab it in my right hand"

Chichika did what she said.

Then the man's right hand began to shine as soon as possible.

And in an instant, the man was making a resurrection.

He says he didn't have a quarter of his whole body, but he's in a state of five-body satisfaction.

When I looked at his whole body like this, he was a man with a slight body.

"To?"

"Hey, that helped! I thought I couldn't do it anymore!

The man's body was back in the state it was before it was cut. Even the clothes are completely intact and not scratched one.

The night fog looked around, but I couldn't find the body on the left side. Apparently that means it's back to normal, including that.

"This is it, right? It's an item called the Star Crystal that you apologized for. It's a convenient way to cure major injuries and turn the chatter around."

"Who apologizes for what!?"

"Stop it!"

When Chichika was confused, Kensei drank.

Those who were in the square stopped moving in unison.

"You've lost a lot. Then we'll change places. Follow me."

So Kensei walked out of the square.

Later, a pile of tragic corpses is left behind. Thirty percent of them survived.

"... he said something about the behavior he deserved as a sword saint, but I still felt like he just wanted to reduce people..."

"No, I also wondered if this was due to the profound thoughts of Kensei. Perhaps we have an immeasurable idea."

The silver swordsman did not waver, even to Chichika's question.

"Primary exam? You don't need us to follow you because you're done with something like that, do you? Take me to the exit."

"No, that, in this situation, returning the lords is a bit..."

The dragon girl had a bad tooth cut. You must have decided that it seemed problematic to attribute the candidate to you on your own.

"I get it. We just need to talk to Kensei and get out of circles, right?

It's getting a little rough at night fog, but it's hard to get through this canyon without guidance.

Night fog made me hungry to hang out until I could hang out.
