The teacher's fist is heavy.

It wasn't the weight, something different from me was in my fist.

I'll parry Sensei's fist with a [samurai]. My fists were also flushed with the [samurai], and they didn't hit each other with a decisive strike.

I rewarded my fists several times and regained my distance from each other.

"Sensei, it's amazing after all..."

Of course. Aren't you serious yet?

"I know. The teacher I know is───... even more amazing!!"

I dive into the teacher's pocket and gently place my hand on his chest.

That's all I can do right now. The teacher responded as well───... wait. Something's wrong, Sensei... Sensei can't respond to my (...) (...)?

That's not how I got faster. The two thoughts attacked each other.

"The type of flow," "Wave palm───" "You must be lost."

While my hand is touching the teacher's hand, the teacher twists my wrist.

I'm having fun here!?

"This idiot!! The flowing type, the" wave palm "!!"

"Guahhhh!?"

Sensei's hand touches my back and the─── shock rushes around.

I got blown up and rolled off the ground.

"This idiot!! What's the matter with you attacking while you're lost!?" Damn it, you've got a chance to hit me with your own stick!! You forgot my teachings!! "

"I-I 'm sorry!!"

I stand up and bow my head inadvertently.

Then, there was a laugh from somewhere... "Vajri-san."

"It's like you're back in the old days... fufu, I miss you."

…………

Me and the teacher unexpectedly face each other. Looking closely, Grandma Mandra and Uncle Largo were also shaking their shoulders.

The teacher scratches his head and says badly.

"Ahhh... um. Well, that's it."

"Ha, yes... eh? That means, Sensei... couldn't cope with my speed?"

”... I don't know”

"Eh, eh... no way, Sensei?"

And here's Grandma Mandra.

"Flare, be confident. You're much faster and stronger than you were during your training days."

"It's not true..."

“I'm not lying. The battle of our time is connected to your experience."

…………

I stare at my fist.

We've had a lot of easy battles, but we've had a lot of bad battles.

I've used my head before, and I've been beaten just because of my momentum.

Now that I've experienced them, I'm... making a val flare.

"Flare"

"Ah... yes"

"Be confident. You're strong now... not like you when you couldn't even scratch me during your training days." Your whole journey is your strength. "

…………

"Be aware, you're strong."

"... yes!"

The teacher laughed vigorously.

I'll laugh too and take my stance.

I'm not lost anymore. I'm strong, I can beat my teacher!!

Sensei, I'm going!!

I'll do my best to sprint.

The teacher stroked his tongue with a "jerk".─── Yes, with a straight dash, I'm better than the teacher.

Clench your right fist and hit with momentum.

"The type of annihilation, 'severe'!!"

"Nhhh!?"

The teacher defended with his hands crossed. I took a step backwards and killed the power.

It didn't do much damage. But my attack hit.

The teacher is not invincible. If I hit it, it would do damage.

At that time, I was too much of a teacher. I can't win, I'm determined to get hit, at least it won't hurt to lose... I've been thinking backwards all the time.

But not now.

"I'm going to win, I'm going to... I'm going to win!"

"Hmph. I guess I'll be able to do all I can!!"

I can't lose anymore. I'll beat the─── teacher!!

◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Fufu, that's clumsy."

Which one do you want?

Neither.

Vajri laughs at the lost flare.

Mandra was also smiling happily.

And then Largo puffed the smoke out of the pipe.

"The Tuck guy is clumsy, too..."

All three of them remembered the old days.

Tuck's yelling, apologizing flare. But I don't feel uncomfortable.

It's been a long time since I've seen a flare of Tuck getting mad at me.

"Ah, I miss you so much..."

"Yeah..."

"... fufufu"

A thousand years ago.

I can't go back in time. And too much time went by to think of the past.

I was relieved to see this sight.

"...... Damn"

"Mr. Largo..."

I don't have much time left.

There was a crack in Largo's arm.

Vajri and Mandra.

Death is near extinction.

…………

The three of them stopped talking and burned the battle between Tuck and Flare in front of them.
