Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

9. "Difficult Strike"

"Defense, I...?

Mr. Cecily's voice.

Chairman Doristos' right eye lit up - instantly, he waves a sword.

Noticed, the chairman is back in position before the attack.

"... eh"

The chairman is holding his left flank with his left elbow.

An agitated judge sent his gaze to the chairman.

The chairman returns a glance.

The judge raised his hand on my side.

"Yu - effective hit!

Does that count for one effective hit on my side?

I didn't know which part to use or how strong an attack would be.

It may have been a ruse not to give a detailed explanation of that part.

For that reason, I imitated as much as possible the position and strength of the effective hit the chairman took from me.

If the chairman's position and power are roughly the same as the attack that took the effective hit, the judge will have to decide it's valid as well.

And the prospect, it succeeded.

"Currier...... I prevented it, Crohiko!

Mr. Cecily's voice. Mr. Currier's reaction was slightly delayed.

"... as far as I can tell, Crohiko wasn't following the Chairman's first move with his eyes - no, he wasn't trying to follow him with his eyes in the first place"

Maybe if Chairman Kudelka's "Polar Sky" state, he'll be able to deal with it in time enough when recognition returns.

The Polar Sky prefaces the movement of the opponent with increased concentration to the extreme state.

Perhaps humans in the "polar sky" state see ambient movements in slow motion.

So even a few moments after recognition returns, I can handle it adequately.

I guess it's also possible to chase them with your eyes after recognition returns.

In addition, Chairman Kudelka, who has a long rivalry, should have some idea of Chairman Doristos' propensity and habit of attacking.

Chairman Kudelka just needs to match one of several attack patterns of Chairman Doristos.

But I don't have Polar Sky.

I can't follow you with my eyes.

I don't even know Chairman Doristos' attack pattern.

Besides, Chairman Doristos is a loose man.

The first and second attacks are from the left, my blind spot.

But the third time I dared to change it to the right.

It was left of the blind spot both times, so it would be left next time.

To make you think so, fabric stone.

Exactly.

The rush of battle, too, someone I know.

Chairman Doristos' right eye glowed four times.

The chairman disappears.

- Don't try to chase me with your eyes.

"- Eh!"

My sword once again prevents the attack that was about to be struck by the left flank.

The chairman immediately said, "Percantal," that the distance...

At the next moment, I'm moving to the chairman's "right in front of me".

At the mouth of the chairman, I caught a glimpse of the upset.

But not to the wolf.

I thought he was a self-contained man.

If it wasn't for this distance, no one would have noticed her upset.

Strike the chairman's left belly.

"Gu, uhh... Huh!

The chairman's movement stops.

"You think you can predict where I'm going?

I took a distance once.

Kuck, and the chairman makes the teeth bite peek through the mouth gap.

"Judge...... that would be an effective hit right now. Sagara...... on Crohiko's side"

The judge, who seemed to have lost consciousness of the earlier attack, regained me.

A judge who raises his hand on my side in a hurry.

"Yu, effectively hit!

The audience begins to blur.

"I can't believe it...... Krohiko sees the chairman who's disappearing?" "Are you saying Crohiko hasn't been serious before?" "I'm getting used to the Chairman's inherent technique, or...?" "Do you get used to that or something...?" "After all, Krohiko, not the Knights of the Holy Tree, may have defeated the Four Homicides..."

It's a horrible unique technique to make.

Until the effect expires, even the recognition of all things that the user interfered with during the effect is removed.

Even the air flow and footsteps become unrecognizable.

Maybe the signs themselves disappear.

It can be said that existence itself is disappearing.

If it's just the ability to be transparent, you can follow the footsteps, the slightest dust movement on the ground, the smell, the air flow.

But I didn't think "coming off recognition" was such a pain in the ass.

So - I decided to stop chasing him with my eyes and entrust everything to my senses.

What matters is the moment of emergence.

Indeed, the air flow and smell disappear during the activation of the Percantal.

But if you return the back - those are "suddenly showing up there" when they appear.

I mean, it tells me where it is.

It's just a little hard to read if you're in the air flow.

That's where I squeezed it, it was the sense of smell.

The other day - in this somewhat embarrassing episode - Chairman Doristos held me up and buried my face in the valley of her breasts.

Smell similar to the unique peaches I felt then.

Focus your entire senses on where that smell appears.

Extra sensations are excluded as much as possible.

Specialize in perception, only for one olfactory point.

If you try to chase it with your eyes, there's too much extra information.

In this case, the audience's voice also becomes noisy and the sensation is dull.

What's more, I have a blind spot for one eye.

So - sight and hearing were temporarily discarded and everything was focused on the sense of smell.

Now I can grasp the location.

And the moment the chairman has been attacking me - the moment that smell emerges, I pour all my senses into the attack from that place and respond.

If the chairman takes the distance in "Percantal," you can also move to the point where the smell appears at once to pack the distance.

It is still difficult for me to detect what is commonly known as "signs".

If you're the killer or the sign of that noise class opponent awakened by the effects of hibigami, four vicious disasters, or drugs, I can tell.

But now I can't feel a sign unless it's a sign of a powerful amazing existence.

I move on to the third strike.

But if it smells...

"Maybe Crohiko is one big mistake"

Mr. Currier's voice like a shudder.

"Mistake?"

Mr Cecily asks a question.

"From what I've seen, he doesn't rely on vision, he focuses his consciousness on perceptions such as signs and air flow, and he identifies Chairman Doristos' appearance position. The prospect itself is apparently a success"

"Once I realized that too...... what does a mistake mean?

"No matter how much you give yourself to a feeling other than vision - unless that's also the inherent technique of example futuristic vision, you can't normally react at that distance, at that rate to an attack from that speed. I mean, that's... that's the first way he's ever fought with the reflexes he's developed in battle."

…………

Oh, my God.

Even if I'm going to be blocking my hearing, I only pick up the voices of Mr. Currier and Mr. Cecily.

No, but when the two voices reach my ears, I'm in the mood to try harder, so my ability rather improves...?

... Whatever that is, Mr. Currier's analysis now may be a hit.

If things were worse around here, every blow would have been fatal. Based on the experience of shivering or preventing that Beshgham Anglen attack with a single piece of paper - even if the time available to deal with it is unlimited and short, and if Chairman Doristos is about the speed of the attack, we can somehow react in time.

Of course, the smell assumes that the position can be grasped to a certain extent.

"With this game format, even I... it might be best to keep it focused and prevented with half a bet"

"Kyu, can't Currier win?

"In this game format. But from what I've seen, that intrinsic procedure has a short duration. Then even take a distance and continue to attack with attacks from a distance using a surgical demon costume. The point is, we just have to stay away from it. For example, if Crohiko could use a curse ban, I think he would fly through the sky with the wings of the fifth curse, and run a series of ninth curses. Besides, that intrinsic technique is overwhelming as the ability to strike unintentionally, but on the contrary, it would be vulnerable to unintentional strikes from a distance using the technique or bow. When it does, well, it may also be vulnerable to range surgery ceremonies. There must be other measures to be taken. Above all..."

The chairman's breathing is getting rough.

After he managed to strike my third blow, he even decided to be thorough in his defense. The chairman used a unique technique for his defense several times.

One of the weaknesses of the inherent surgical formula.

That's the intensity of the drain.

No matter how much you train, the load of random outbursts is huge.

In fact, the chairman is also slowing down his movements.

Judges have been looking at pocket watches many times since earlier.

I mean, the game is coming to an end.

... It would be tough enough to use an intrinsic surgical formula.

I'm going to get my senses back.

"Something, Chairman, aren't you cornered?

One of the audience said. Other audiences follow.

"Even with such an unruly inherent technique, you can't win." "Crohiko does it without a curse." "Chairman Kudelka, who secretly played a mock game with Crohiko before this, heard it was a draw, right?" "So if the student chairman loses here, he essentially wins the wind discipline chairman?" "I knew you were Chairman Kudelka. It means" undefeated "is stronger than" strongest "." "I don't know if I'll have to wait for the Holy Martial Arts Festival." "Well, the student chairman always seems a little great, and it's a good opportunity to defeat here, isn't it?" "If I lose, I might feel a little good."

One of the anxious faceted student councils glanced at the audience.

Some of the audience who were talking shut their mouths and shut up.

"... couderca, pull, divide..."

Once he leans down, the chairman raises his face and restarts his sword.

Face to face, I can see you're here to decide on a battle.

Two effective hits against each other.

Whoever takes the other dozen in time wins, huh?

I don't know.

One more shot… Will you bet on the attack using Percantal?

The chairman's right eye glowed.

- Inherent technique.

Block some sensations.

Into the sense of smell, concentration.

One and a half seconds later...

- It's coming up fast.

- Where the smell appeared -

- Get a hold of it.

I'll put all my strength into this blow, too.

Very difficult, a blow, though.

――――

A high-powered noise echoed the training ground.

A few seconds later, two swords that fell to the floor raised another iron chirp with a fallen impact.

"Two swords... bounce. Fly?

Audience voices.

"... Phew"

One, exhale.

"Ahh."

It was the judges who leaked that voice.

"Shh... End! Match, over! is the judgment… is the judgment -"

Judge sending gaze regardless of the two falling swords and the chairman.

The chairman is suddenly self-defeated.

There is no sign of sending instructions to the judge by gaze.

The weak-faced judge raised his hand with the kind of face he had fallen for, mouthing the judgment of the game.

"Hih, the draw...... Huh! This game is...... hi, it's a draw!
