A world-wide martial arts tournament - the Arcadia Knight Martial Arts Festival - became held after the ceasefire between the Federation and the Empire.
Ten delegates selected from the Knight Training Schools of each Territory are the venues to compete for their qualities as knights.
Once a year, the militant festival, held in December under the auspices of the neutral nation Eizeon, calls the philosophy of the Games' so that nations can have an incisive relationship with friendship ', but on the other hand there was also the aspect of military force surveys around the world.
- Physical arts, swordsmanship, equestrianism, bowing, and military arts.
Its representatives are questioned about the power of the individual, the power in the collective.
There are different ways to settle a battle.
Many envisioned actual battlefields, such as' base battles', which compete for a limited number of multiple bases established within a certain range, or 'offensive defense strategies', which define offenses and do not attack and defend the opponent's positions within the time limit.
The last "total force battle" divided by force is a small war.
The influence of militant festivals is strong. In a world where the advantages and disadvantages of a weapon called the Photon Competent Person dictate the state of war, its winning and losing strengths will stifle future forces - differences in talent, differences in current abilities, and differences in educational skills in the forces.
The empire plans to start a war only because it is convinced of the decline of the Federation due to the complete succession of militant festivals over the last decade, and the Authority is leaping in to make this more relaxing.
It is stipulated that no more than ten delegates and no more than five alternates shall participate in the dance festival. It is customary to elect athletes for physical, swordsmanship, equestrian and archery within this provision to have one of them concurrently assume the leading role in military arts.
For this reason, in countries with more than one cavalry training school, places were sometimes set up to elect delegates in advance.
The western state is one of them.
The Westerian State, which has eight knight training schools, is to hold a selection competition in September, where two physical arts, three swordsmanship, two equestrian arts, three bow arts, one alternate from each species, one alternate for the recommendation, are to be selected.
Four selection candidates were expected to participate each year from the Third Knight Training School, which specializes in swordsmanship, in accordance with the provisions for participation in the selection competition.
July 14th.
If you look up in the sky, you can feel signs of sweaty cheerfulness coming ahead. Even during the day, it was more remarkable than this morning. A long summer was about to begin.
"Lose more strength, because this is not a special training to build strength. Be aware to check the palms and moulds of your teachings one by one"
"Yes... and the thing called a wooden knife handles it a lot differently than a wooden sword... your right and left hand are apart and your little finger is off the pattern if you are on your left hand..."
"That's what I teach in the knife genre. Unlike the sword, the knife does not slash in the middle of the sword body, but slashes from the tip down slightly. It's not a slap, it's a slap."
"Imagine a fictional opponent, from the tip to a little below... after all, it's kind of hard..."
Cooling in the shade of the exercise area, John was still guiding the bareback to Hollow. However, the contents were changed a lot compared to the previous ones.
It is the wooden sword, not the wooden sword, that Holloro has waved in the past few days. Compared to the wooden sword, it was lightweight and had a long blade crossing, with a curved skinny body.
That would be just as close to the Eastern sword that Kensei was using - the sword.
I also wanted him to have his own love knife.
In just a few days, it's a lot like that...
I tend to remember things well these days, and I probably even worked out when I was alone......
Waving a wooden knife like the mould I taught him, seeing how such a hollow improves, he thinks. That was true, as well as uncomfortable.
The thickness of the knife, which is shaken vertically, horizontally, and obliquely, is beautiful, but it feels indefinite.
"... Hollow, has your Lord ever stood up to anyone?
"No, actually not yet..."
The identity was quickly found out. It was fundamental, and the lack of experience in the game did not shake the sword that assumed the opponent.
In fact, even one person kept wielding a wooden knife, a hollow that had steadily improved, but the feeling of assuming the other was still not accompanied.
Knowing that the problem would be fatal, John will keep this in mind as something that needs to be resolved quickly.
I don't know, I was losing it...
Instead of thinking of me as a criterion, you have to think of Hollow as a criterion...
Not necessarily for me or for this kid......
I can't help but realize the difficulty of teaching people something too.
"Do you still need someone to compete with..."
Instead of blurring and thinking about the future, he remembered one thing and told him it was obvious.
"Yes, yes. I'm thinking of putting your lord and mute on a martial arts festival."
"Ha... eh, me and Mr. Mute are at the Martial Arts Festival!?
For the pretense, Holoro gave a surprise voice. It would be unconscious - a method of turning a pulled face while keeping a large strand open on a last-minute leg carriage tells the story of the degree.
"You don't like that?
"No, I don't want to... Mr. Mute has a horn, but why me?
"I bought the future of the Lord. Now the Lord will lift up his arms in the last few days."
John continued, "I thought I told you..." to Hollow, who groaned as he was confused.
"He said he has power to be a gentle knight. If you're not stronger than the person holding you back, you can't protect anything. Don't you think militant festivals are a good opportunity for your Lord to know how much you are in this world?
Holloro, who loses his words, wrinkles between his eyebrows and has a worrying face.
Though he declared himself strong as a gentle knight, he did not make him feel like a fighter.
One day the hostile opponent may come in possession of the murder weapon and attack with unwavering and clear intent to kill.
You don't kill those opponents, and you can't beat those opponents, if you want it, you have to outdo it with force against power.
It is not necessarily without struggle that everything may be given away.
"Though I was in a hurry too...... your Lord also has the right to think. Tomorrow is the holiday. Think slowly for a day."
Until the other day, a fall not dealt with by anyone finally began to take the path I wanted. But at the end of the road, which I vaguely watched, are all the walls if I walk.
Can you do that to me to point a sword at someone of your own free will...
I don't think so. I haven't even found the answer yet.
Nene, on the other hand, was in no hurry to give the same instruction as he did inside the practice area.
That's also because mutes are growing at a rate that greatly exceeds expectations.
Training to cross even wooden swords and improve basic abilities with limited use of photon abilities. It was initially a mute who had been unable to make satisfactory moves, but it would now be entirely in the past.
The sharpness of the sword muscle is Nene's impending momentum, albeit with moderation.
"Hey, now you're doing pretty good"
"This is the gift of the instructor's guidance."
What a pleasure to say again......
The way you really grow up is unusual......
As the mute punch increases in speed, if it becomes more difficult to cope, we can't help but be strong.
Because of this impatience, Nene mistakenly clapped his hands.
"Ah... hey, hey!?
A method of warfare that controls an opponent with speed is a one-handed trick that leads directly to death. Whether the brain catches up against acceleration, dodging behavior is also irresistible if physical control does not catch up.
For this reason, those who possess this method of warfare also need the technique of 'pre-reading' so much as mastering speed.
He read that Nene's foresight, which is called divine speed, could not avert a blow that would be rolled out ten steps ahead. Also, Mute snuggled up on this and said, "Today is the day!" and followed the hassle precisely.
If it had been a week before, this would not have happened. This happened again...
Used with the rest, Mute's foresight also caught up here and turned into certainty.
At last, it is the time when we tried to reverse the moment.
- Nene said.
"Oh, Hollow, you're watching"
"What no!?
A mutt distracted by words raises his bare voice and blunts his behavior.
There was also too much momentum that was diverted from the punch, causing the leg to snap.
That was an abuse of the maiden heart, what a cowardly means.
"Phew...... alarmed foe, not yet"
"Grr... why are you giving me Fiodiante's name at this time..."
Mute looks at the fatigue that pushed her closer and closer.
"That's because you already know Mr. Mute's been sending you luv beams lately, right?
"Oh, I didn't send it!
Nene niggered "muffled," and chilled the mutt.
For a few days now, I occasionally camouflaged the fact that the mutt had a shitty gaze at the hollows and a strange mood for regular thinning makeup.
A hunch would be a hit. He/she strongly denies the discourse, but if he/she sees someone who turns his/her face bright red and upset, the result is clear that he/she does not hate it.
"Even so, you've changed. And the sword muscle is very much better."
"Do you dislike it?
The mutt fumbles up and shrugs his shoulders.
"Terrible. Be honest and happy with your growth. So...... let's change the training a little from today. Photon capability, you can use it."
"… so is that one… just what you want"
They've lost mute tiredness to the words told, and the smile that floats is already powerful.
You've really changed, initially I wondered what would happen, but it was worrying......
The darkness disappeared from my sword and my expression improved. If you stay put, more importantly...
Nene was secretly pleased with the change in mute.
Two Hololo and mute who progress every day.
John and Nene, who coach them, sometimes learn from them and sometimes move their minds from them.
As instructors and students, relationships are being built that are not one-way.
The immediate goal is the Westerly Selection Competition in September. The journey to the final goal, the Arcadia Knight Martial Arts Festival, is still a long way off.
