Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

"Long time no see, Sagara Crohiko"

"Oh... it's been a while, Captain Sochute"

There was no such thing as a Sochute Commander in the face of the Knights who came to school this morning.

From the looks of instructor Isabella, he didn't seem to know the story of the Knights of the Holy Tree coming as a special instructor.

"I didn't know Captain Sochute would come himself."

With a low back attitude, instructor Isabella said.

"I had a wild one and arrived late. For once, the dean should have known about my story of becoming a special instructor for this special group... Didn't he tell you?

Asked, I shake my head to the side.

"No, I didn't ask"

I was too busy forgetting about Mr. Makina.

Outreach Maybe I didn't tell him because I dared to surprise him...

Captain Sochute hands over his hips sword to Instructor Isabella.

The other day, the dean asked me if I could get a special instructor.

"Mr. Makina..."

- I'm going to subsidize your training to fight hibigami.

I have to say that's just fine because this is how I'm going to arrange it right away.

After hearing something from Instructor Isabella, says Chief Sochute.

"But in any case, I planned to be able to cross swords with Sagara Crohiko. Before you fight that man, Hibigami."

"What?"

Mr Currier, who reacted, asks the question.

"What do you mean?

"After we fought the giant who came back from the recapture of the fort - that is, after you fought a woman named Noise Death - I exchanged my sword with Hibigami"

Surprising colors float in Mr. Currier's face.

I was surprised, too.

Where I don't know, I didn't know Hibigami and Captain Sochute were fighting.

"I was told to train Sagara Crohiko then. At least that's how I interpreted the man's words."

"Damn it, that guy."

Mr. Currier tongues abominably.

"Um, Chief Sochute"

"What?

"How was the outcome of the battle?

Phew, and Captain Sochute smiles at Nihil.

"Right, it's like I missed that guy. I've seen a lot of people in my arms who remember me before, but that guy's got a different character. equivalent to the Four Ferocities... or more"

Instructor Isabella brought a training sword and gave it to the Sochute Commander.

To thank him briefly, Captain Sochute waved a sword in his right hand to ascertain his senses.

"Well, that's why... it's difficult every day from a standpoint, but I'll be in charge of your training for a while as a special instructor. Thanks again."

"Well... maybe, about this special instructor..."

"Huh, have you noticed? Yes, I was the originator. Afterwards, it was achieved through a crossover with the school side. Per Lili, I was opposed to it on the grounds of lack of staff at first. Still, at the end of the day, the Dearless one pushed me through with a good tongue. If the Vice Commander's mouth is masterful, it would be helpful as a Commander."

Is that it?

"But Captain Sochute said earlier that Mr. Makina had a meeting..."

"I guess the school director came to see me because he didn't think I was coming. I gave the names of the people who were going as special instructors together, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to adjust my plans until the last minute, and I didn't have a first name."

The word now is that Captain Sochute will come all the way out here to train me by sewing between busy hours.

"Thank you, Captain Sochute"

"Well, thank you. If you don't beat that guy, I'm gonna have to deal with him next. So you have to let that man win."

After saying so jokingly, Captain Sochute moved to the centre of the training ground.

"So it's time to get started"

"Ha, ha."

With a training sword in my hand, I rush to the center, too.

Whatever it is for me, it's an opportunity I don't even wish for.

If I could get an archery from this guy, I would surely be stronger than I am now.

"Nice to meet you"

Set up a sword.

"You're getting a good face. Setting up a sword will change the atmosphere even more."

Mr. Currier stands side by side with instructor Isabella, arms up and looks at this one.

"For now, there is no art or curse, only sword archery, okay?

"Yes, I want to work out, because I'm a sword."

"Okay. So let's start by crossing swords lightly."

Goddamn, I snort.

…………

That is so intimidating.

There is no gap.

Chairman Kudelka, who fought the other day, was amazing, but this guy is different.

Unique air, held only by the strong.

How am I supposed to type that in?

How is that the right thing to do?

How do we assemble the battle?

"-!"

The head of the Sochute jumped in, impinging on the slightest gap that could have been made by thought.

Take a defensive stance in an attempt to receive an attack.

Captain Sochute's first blow was - light.

Feint.

From hand movements, eye movements, try to identify the next hand.

But the preliminary motion is surprisingly small.

The speed of the sword strike, too, is finally followed with your eyes.

Captain Sochute comes around, two shots, and taps in as he sinks deeply into the side.

The attack is critical at the spot.

The next moment, Captain Sochute slipped his sword blade on my blade.

What the fuck?

... right.

This crosses the blade, trying to bounce it off - no, it's not!

That's how it looks. To my stomach, suddenly...

sounds like a sword.

A piece of paper somehow prevented me from punching my stomach.

"Nice response speed."

I say it in a way that impresses me, and I take the distance, Chief Sochute.

"... Phew"

Wipe the sweat dripping down your jaw.

Wow.

Attack mixed with refinement and roughness.

It doesn't look like a waste of action.

Captain Sochute loosens his position.

"That, left eye"

"Left, eyes?

... Oh well.

"You seem to have noticed. Earlier, as I sinked deep, I looked at you and turned to my left. You know what I'm trying to say?

This is what I also felt in my training with Mr. Currier.

"Blind spot, right?"

"That's right. The right eye alone can make a blind spot on the left."

Compared to the time of both eyes, the left side is difficult to see.

So when fighting, you also need to pay some attention to where you stand.

I think the issue of proximity, which is often discussed in battle comics and such, is getting to be grasped by sensory accustom... well, it's just tough with awesome opponents like Captain Sochute.

After all, the loss of one eye is a little painful.

... but I don't regret the dust in exchange for my left eye to protect my loved ones.

Even if it's a disadvantage in battle...

"But there's no problem"

"Huh?"

Captain Sochute slaps his left shoulder with a sword.

"Even if it's uncomfortable for a while, it's surprisingly something you'll get used to in a few years. Sometimes, it's like I get weird pains."

Phantom Payne in the previous world - I guess you mean what was called phantom limb pain.

A painful phenomenon, despite the loss of lost parts of the body.

I've never felt any pain in my left eye so far...

But what does it mean that there's no problem just now?

Chief Sochute asks.

"How was my attack?

"It was amazing. It's just that... compared to Mr. Currier and Hibigami, I felt a little different when I received the sword -"

"The identity of discomfort is probably because my sword moves are my own sword moves optimized for this one arm"

Captain Sochute takes the stand.

However, it does not seem to signal a resumption.

"Compared to when I had my left arm, my sword moves and places my center of gravity differently. So my opponents who fight me can't get used to the microscopic identity of discomfort when they're fighting by it, and it's often a giddy move. And if you change the way you look at it, this is also a strength"

Commander Sochute continues.

"Certainly there are many inconvenient surfaces in one arm. But still, if I realized it, I'd be used to it. So I don't feel so inconvenient right now. Rather... now I consider myself a single personality to be a ship's arm. Because of this arm, some sword moves have been reached."

Touch the left eye band.

"Personality…"

"For example, if you fight, if you are a moderate fighter, you will try to strike a blind spot on the left. But on the contrary, it also means that the odds of being able to limit the person's behavior are increased."

Turn weaknesses in battle into strengths in reverse, huh?

"If you can't catch up with your eyes, you should develop a habit of perceiving the signs. What, it's not that hard. The other person's breathing sounds, the rubbing sounds of the ground, the movement of the air... all you have to do is identify the chi of what they create. If you ask, those with no vision have heard that other senses develop exceptionally for that matter. It's naturally one personality, and it's a strength."

There is no sympathy or encouragement in the words of the captain.

He sincerely believes so.

In this man's words, there was weight.

…………

And I think he's amazing.

In the crossing of the sword a little earlier, the captain was mixing with nature my movements to make my blind spots feel strong.

At the same time, he made me realize with my body that the captain's sword was due to his own weight movement and center of gravity.

And most importantly, this guy - he gave me the certainty that I could be stronger.

Open your hands once and grip the sword pattern back vigorously again.

Every time I exchanged swords with Captain Sochute, I felt my nerves sharply sharpened.

I can pull it up a step, you know?

Similar feeling to when you're in a meeting with Mr. Currier at a good time.

Commonly known as "The Black Sacred Tree Man" - Sochute Sigmsos.

What you get from this guy must be huge.

I rebuild my sword.

"Nice to meet you, Captain Sochute"

Hin, wave the sword once, and then the Sochute Commander takes up the battle setup as well.

"Oh...... come, Sagara Crohiko"

"Ha, ha...!

My whole body is painted with sweat.

But comfortable fatigue.

"Phew..."

Captain Sochute takes off his jacket.

That black uniform, too, seems to be for a well-ventilated summer now, but still, I guess the long sleeves are just hot.

"That's great, Sagara Crohiko"

"No... compared to Captain Sochute's sword, not yet."

"Well, maybe if you just put it with sword moves. But your sword has a" margin "part to it."

"Margin?"

"You don't seem to realize it yourself. You probably fight while weaving the power of the curse and the sword when you're serious about fighting...... no?

"Ha, yes............ ah-"

"I've been thinking about it for a while now, but I'm a quick guy to guess. Yes, your sword has - I know you're unconsciously making it - a" margin "to unleash the curse. When I think the curse is pinched on that part, I'm relieved. In other words, your sword is a sword optimized for the curse."

I look at my left arm.

"Yeah, right."

In retrospect, it no longer seemed natural since around the time we had previously fought the Blue Goblin herd.

Battle with a curse and a sword crossing.

"There's no need to correct it. That's your sword. And if you refine your sword moves, you will also live a more curse ban."

Ha, and I exhaled.

Awesome.

I can't believe you just put your swords together and see what I didn't even realize.

"Thank you, Captain Sochute"

"Say what. You are the man who saved the people of this king's capital. And... the Four Homicides were the ones I was supposed to have to kill. It turned out to have pushed those who remained in the king's capital."

It was at a rate of remorse remaining, but it didn't seem like it was dragging heavily.

I guess the captain decided to be the captain, at the end of the various grids, to accept the results.

"Well..."

I wiped my sweat with a suction cloth, and then the Sochute Commander changed his body direction.

"Currier Verstein"

"Hmm? Me, is it?

"What are you gonna do?

"... aren't you tired?

"Say what. I'm not old yet."

…………

Currier Verstein, vs., Sogt Sigmsos.

This... I feel like looking at it.

"Okay."

Mr. Currier unwraps his arm and takes a training sword.

"Then I'd like an audition, too."

"Sorry, Currier Verstein"

Chief Sochute rings his neck and takes his stand.

"Actually, for once, I wanted to cross a little sword with you."

Hung, and Mr. Currier snorts.

"Hopefully I can live up to my expectations"

It's been long enough since the two of them first rang the blade sound.

"Phew... just like I thought, horrible arm"

Captain Sochute unloads his sword.

Mr. Currier sees it as a sign of the end, and he pays off the silver hair that snaps on his cheek.

"That's the dialogue over here, Captain Sochute... I see now we know why Hibigami wanted to keep Crohiko"

"Hey, what is this...?

Instructor Isabella turns her sizzling, trembling fingertips toward the two swordsmen facing each other.

"That's terrible, isn't it?"

I saw something amazing.

It was just enough offense, but the quality of its contents is overwhelming.

At first, Mr. Currier's share looked slightly worse, but in the second half it also looked like a windswept back.

It's just... I was just trying to get both serious for a moment, and I thought Captain Sochute had sent an end signal.

Even so, this one watching was a breathtaking sword trident.

"I see... while you fight, let your opponent optimize how you fight,? You have a terrible talent."

"At a time when you're spotting it in this short amount of time, your observation eye would be pretty good."

…………

No, they're both amazing.

Then we took a short break.

And the battle class, which was intense, was also time to finish.

"Chief Sochute... Actually, we had a consultation"

Thoughtfully, I tried to get a consultation.

"What's up?

"Do you have... moves or something?

"A move? You mean that's not the ability of the Holy Devil's Sword?

"Yes, actually, of course the foundation will continue...... I hope there's something like a powerful one-strike special move besides the curse to fight Hibigami,"

Hmm, and head of Sochute stroking his mustache and thinking.

"You can't handle the sacraments. That's what the dean tells me."

"Yes."

When it comes to so-called "Special Attacks," this world has images of inherent art ceremonies, chanting spells, and the ability of the Holy Devil's Sword.

But they can't handle the sacraments. I can't do that.

Of course, the curse would be equivalent to a "Special Attack," but apart from that, I've always wanted something for a move that stopped by this body.

In case the curse is no longer available, as a trump card.

Yes, in the previous world, like Sasaki Kojiro's Secret Sword Swallow Return.

"It seems that many Eastern swordsmen, mainly called swordsmen, have moves worthy of special, stopping by their own flesh"

"The moves used by the swordsmen of the eastern kingdom… are you familiar with the Sochute Commander?

"I have a personal interest in the knife technique used by Eastern knives. I have tried to get my own while fishing and researching the literature for a time. For example -"

Captain Sochute raised his blade and waved his sword.

From there, he showed some moves that he had met.

Sentinel Stream "Stone Dropping Stream".

"Overlay Paper Fall" is a one-knife orchestra.

When the Devil Stream assassinates the secret sword "The Hunt of the Neck".

Blade Cicadas "Red Time Rain".

"... wow"

All for myself, but then Captain Sochute pulls his arm.

"And this is-"

Two pokes.

But those two thrusts seemed to have taken place almost simultaneously.

"I call this" Two-Poke. "The power drops, but I can use it to shoot up to the Five Pokes."

Will it feel like we're dealing with two swords?

"You can knit the moves yourself, but first you know what the other moves are like and if possible you can use them yourself. That can also trigger flashing new moves. In fact, even in this" two pokes ", the original moves exist. In other words, this" two-poke "is a move that specializes in that poke and makes it easy for me to use. But the diversity of the attack has been taken away from us as we specialize in poking."

Captain Sochute pokes the ground at the end of his sword and continues.

"The more powerful the move is the higher the ability of those who use it... it is a simple principle, but therefore there is no gap. If, as Hibigami says, your stretching bills are not the norm, you may want to start by aiming to meet the moves. Using that move as a starting point, you may later knit a new move"

Mr. Currier and instructor Isabella are also listening.

"The user of the move was part of it, and seemed to be called the legendary knifeman. And I've only broken the principle... and I've never seen the real thing."

"That's... what the hell kind of move is that?

"What's the name of the move?"

Captain Sochute gave the name of the move.

"Double Dragon."

"Double Dragon", or... "

After the battle class, I finished dressing and I grabbed the dressing room door knob, thinking about the moves the Sochute Captain taught me.

Apparently, it contains the captain's own interpretation, but he was taught the principle of one-off technique.

A move that adjusts speed and power and simultaneously attacks simultaneously.

Attack and attack.

Attack and defense.

Prevention and attack.

Prevention and protection.

A move to assemble a battle while freely using these four, huh?

But by the time you get to the point of illusion with simultaneous attacks, you'll need a lot of training.

It's not a move you can wear overnight.

I just love training.

The feeling that what I couldn't do day by day would improve is comfortable.

Above all, the more powerful a move is the more you train yourself.

Right...... first get to know the moves called "Double Dragon" and knit something based on it if possible.

If I could do that, it would surely help even in the fight against Hibigami.

Find some free time and practice the behavior you were taught anyway.

Leaving the dressing room with a deep tour of thought.

"Yeah, it's worth a try - blah!?

Bu, and.

It felt like I could tell the ocean, and my cheeks drew something apart.

You can see it on the cheeks and around the temples, even over the fabric, with a unique soft feel......

"Oh, I didn't know you were going to pop into your chest all of a sudden... unlike the look of it, you're a pretty daring guy, huh?

…………

I have a terrible bad feeling - no, it's already confirmed.

As soon as I leaned over and left the dressing room thinking, my face dived straight into someone's chest...

... It smells sweet, similar to peaches.

"Soo, sorry - hey - mugg!?

I tried to get away in a hurry, but what a blockage.

He has his arms turned around the back of his head and is stopped from letting him escape for some reason.

"Hmm, you seem well lit, don't you? I may be inferior to Cecily Arklite or Currier Verstein, but I'm pretty much polishing myself as a woman, too, right?

... this voice.

"Let go... I don't want to imitate it."

"Oh? This is a precious opportunity for you, and that's enough?

"Of, because I don't want it!

"Hehe, is that right"

I feel the force in my arm loose and hurry to distance myself.

"You've never talked to me in person like this, Sagara Crohiko."

I broke my knee slightly with a flat face, lifted the edge of my skirt and greeted -

"Doristos, Chairman"

Doristos Kielsinha.

Student chairman of this school.

"Why is the student chairman in front of the men's dressing room?

I've been waiting for you.

"Me?

Chairman Doristos' thread opens slightly.

"I hear you fought Couderka Ferraris the other day, didn't you?

"... Yes"

"This is-"

Chairman Doristos looked at his lips with his fingers.

Its mouth is smiling.

But her eyes were full of challenging light.

"Don't you think it would be a little unfair if you didn't fight me too?

"I don't think so."
