It was a withered wilderness.

Dead tree.

Withered soil.

Withered air.

There was one man in this desolate world.

"... you were my nucleus, after all."

"Oh? Oh, yes ... (...). Well, that's fine now."

When he sat on a huge rock whose surface was cracked, he said it was crisp.

"Well, what happened, Allen? Did you finally want to pass that body?"

"I don't think so. If you give it to me, it's evident that you will be rampaging again and again."

"Gyahahahaha! You're ... weird that you don't use it when you have the power? It's a crazy story, crush it, crush it, and enjoy it ... ? "

I don't really like such a moment-like lifestyle.

"... I don't think so. I want to live more plain and slender."

"It's slender. It's a way of life ..."

That's why he shrugged.

"Anyway-I'll never give you a body in the future. Given what you did last time, is it natural?"

This man has driven Sido into a state of half-dead and half-life.

No, not really.

If the rear did not stop at that time, he would have killed without any hesitation.

"Is this last time (...)? ... Ah, both (....) Did you save your life?"

"..." "Both"? It's like saying twice. "

Indeed, when Mr. Sido was ... this guy saved his life.

At that time, there was no honest power to avoid the approaching my throat.

If this guy didn't show up, I would definitely be dead.

But this is the only time I've saved my life.

"Oh, when I was playing with ice and ... the rest was that. When I pressed the button on the dung shit. Sure ... it was more than 5,000 years on the first lap? Allen Did you try to die once? "

"...?!?"

Very ... I remembered something very disgusting.

(That's right, this is my nucleus ... I have that billion-year memory well ...

... I was really wrong at that time.

For 5,000 years, I haven't met anyone or talked to them-living the same life every day everyday has been crazy.

At that time, the evil spirit was inserted.

"Oh, did you remember that? I was the one who stopped that ridiculous action, wasn't it?" Because of the enormous power used, I'm gonna sleep for the next few hundred million years .... It's just anyway-no thanks, no grudge Um ... eh? "

"... Are you really stopped?"

I thought that the fear of death was beyond the pain at that time.

"Huh, who are there besides me? First of all, human beings are not so strong. People who are determined to die will die easily and unexpectedly."

"Yes, I understand ... Thank you."

I can only thank you for this matter.

"Ah? I can't eat it, I don't need to feel anything.

That's why he asked for my body again.

In this exchange that I've been doing many times, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"... Are you asking for my consent quite a bit? If you're as strong as you, you're likely to be able to forcibly take it."

"Are you stupid? With your consent-borrowing with your resistance at zero and twisting your intentions to forcibly steal it will be a different degree of wear! ―Because it's a spiritual body ... "

Speaking of this, he looked at his right hand as if he missed somewhere.

"Hey, is that something ...?"

I heard this is good.

As Mr. Leia had said before, when this man hijacked my body, it seemed to consume tremendously "something".

(That's not to be able to take my body over and over again easily ...!)

If I'm thinking about that,

"A little ... oh, if you don't feel like giving your body, you can go home quickly and it's annoying."

That's why he waved his hand as if he had driven off the insects.

Somehow selfish.

"That's not the case. I came here today with your help.-You see? I want to learn a soul dress."

First we decided to try a dialogue.

This guy is ridiculous, but he's not stupid.

He speaks words and has intelligent thinking ability.

Dialogue ... Or, if you negotiate, you may be able to borrow some of your power.

Then

"Ah ?! A chick like you ... my power? ......... Phy, hey, hey, hey!

He hit his knees and laughed at what was so interesting.

"Well, this is a joke."

"-Even if you're joking, you can't laugh!"

The next moment, he stood before my eyes and nose.

The right arm had already been shaken greatly, and a shock a few seconds after the comma was inevitable.

"Oops ...!"

There is no feint-right straight from the front.

"~~ !?"

I immediately slipped my sword between my face and his arm.

Defended perfectly.

(4) The center of gravity was firmly dropped in preparation for an impact.

But-my body was blown horizontally like a ball.

(What? ... it's stupid ...?!?)

Defense is not functioning as defense ...

I rotate in the air and kill the shock and manage to take the passive.

At the same time, he put his sword in front of his navel and took a straight eye.

"Oops ... it's not too light! Did you eat food with her? ... Oh !?"

"... I'm eating properly."

Defense does not apply to this attack.

If ――-attack, attack, attack!

You don't have to turn your attack to your opponent ...!

I shortened the gap a lot in three steps and rolled out my eight hits.

"Yachi no Sword-Yatagarasu!"

After eight battles that became sharper and more powerful after fighting Mr. Sido, he lost a lot.

Immediately after that, his hands, feet, neck, head, torso, and chest-eight slashes shot his entire body.

Unlike Dodrier, everything hit firmly.

There was a certain response.

—But none of them passed as damage.

Instead of tearing the skin, there is no bruising.

Rather ... my sword was about to break.

(Lie, uh ...!?)

When I was staring at my sword,

"Hey, slash like a toy ... how are you going to cut my body?"

They said that they were very relaxed and shook their heads to the left and right to provocate.

(After all, this one has a different digit ...)

Strength, leg strength, endurance-everything is another dimension.

Then I cut it over and over again ...

This guy was lightly treated with his right hand without any care.

(No, no ... face, neck, mizoochi-Even if you hit a key point, ordinary slashing can't defeat this ...)

But it doesn't mean that we have nowhere to go.

I am not a normal slash-I have a special slash.

(If it's a blow that cuts through space and the world, no matter how much it's going to be safe ... !!)

I aimed at the moment when this guy was troublesomely lost-I let go.

"Five swords-a break!"

However,

"Hey, hey, hey ... I can't shake that slowly ...

Suddenly, this guy pinched his raised blade.

"...?!?"

Hydride.

The two characters crossed my mind.

"(...) The strength here is" strength of heart "! The blue ashes of the ass are still…. Hey!

There was no way to defend me with my sword pinched, and the strong front kick he released-pierced the abdomen.

"But ..."

Air was squeezed out of the lungs and blood in the body bounced off.

The vision is blinking and there is no sense of balance anywhere.

He laughed happily before me rolling on the ground.

"Hahhhhh ... hey! I'm going to give you a place where your will is weak!"

"No, don't ..."

Immediately after that, my consciousness was drunk into the darkness.

The moment Allen lost to the nucleus.

A big accident happened to his body.

The black hair turned into long white hair, and a black pattern appeared under the left eye.

And most of all, the air he emitted has changed.

From a gentle and calm thing to a kind of bare sword.

"Gyahahahaha! Choro, Choro Ize, Allen ...?!"

Before he took over Allen's body and screamed, there was Leia's figure clenching her black fist.

"Mutou style-Zetsu!"

A strong positive fist thrusting away the sound far away went deep into Allen's abdomen.

"But, ha ...?!"

"You-no, the nucleus was 'free to move until it completely seized control'?"

He staggered a few steps back, turning his eyes full of hatred.

"This is the black fist ..."

"With this body (...) this endurance, or ... really a monster, you"

"Damn, but ..."

At the same time as Allen lost consciousness, all the abnormalities that had happened to his body had disappeared.

"I don't like this kind of sneaky means ... well, I think it's a handicap. If you really let me go, I'm too tough ..."

The soul yard has calmed down with Shin.

After that, Lear spoke on behalf of all the students.

"Se, sir, sir, do you mean now ...?"

"Oh, it's Allen's nucleus. As you can see at a glance, it's a genuine monster .... It's a totally ridiculous talent (...). I guess. "

Leia showed her right hand wet with blood.

"What's that blood ...?"

“Hmm? "

She laughed and shook her head.

Learing that his right hand had a shallow wound from his gesture, Leah finally asked what he was most concerned about.

"Ah, is Allen safe?"

"Of course, you don't have to worry about anything, because it will happen soon.-See, it's better than that! You have to concentrate on learning your soul!"

She said "Pee! ”And rang his favorite whistle.

I lost the game with him (...) ... I noticed that I was lying on my back.

"... uh ... here, ...?"

When you slowly raise your upper body,

"Oh, what happened Allen"

Mr. Leia stood next door.

"Se, sir ...?! Oh, yes ......! That guy-- What happened to that monster?"

While my consciousness was stunned, I could definitely hear the guy's voice saying "I got it."

I looked around in a hurry, but I couldn't find anything particularly rough.

"Don't worry. I've taken control .... I've taken a little sneaky means."

Mr. said that with a bitter face.

It seems that it was not a willingness to stop, as he himself said, “Sneaky means”.

But it stopped me from running away in any way ... I was really grateful.

"I'm sorry, thank you"

"Don't worry, because it was originally expected."

She laughed.

Anyway, just after a paragraph, I thought.

(... "Strength of mind")

He was saying.

"The strength here is the strength of the mind."

And further, "You are not prepared."

In other words, in order to win in that world-in order to learn soul dress, I need to train my heart.

(But ... how do you train your "heart"?)

I never thought about that.

How to train your body and improve your swordplay is easy to imagine.

Swinging or having someone teach you skills-this is the place.

However, when it comes to training your heart ... it's difficult.

Meditation?

Takigyo?

Or ... what?

If I was bothering my head like that,

"Now, Allen is now a chance!"

The teacher suddenly claps with his stomach, and he is standing up.

"Cha, chance ...?"

"Oh yes! The nucleus is terribly exhausted once it comes out! Now it's no wonder you can turn your power over from that monster!"

"Well, do you do that again?"

"It's natural? Look, you're ready to set up a sword! Don't miss this machine!"

Speaking of that, the teacher took my hand and gripped the sword.

"And, but ... what if he runs away again ...?"

"I don't care. That trivial thing doesn't matter to you as a student. And maybe ... you're coming out today. Because it's a nucleus, there's a weakness in today's guy. No problem while I'm on the lookout. "

Then the teacher gave only one advice.

"--But, if I make a mistake, where my eyes aren't, isn't it really related to him?"

"..."

The teacher utters very rarely-a hard, serious voice.

"Allen—Your nucleus is literally a" monster ". It's a" case "different from the average nucleus there. Is it? "

"……Yes"

Certainly, the guys… the orders of strength were different.

"I don't know what to do if I get rid of the initial stiffness-the nucleus-specific weakness .... Well, the training of the soul dress must be within my reach. That's okay, because I can stop it exactly. "

"Thank you!

After that, I challenged him several times, but ...

The level was too different, so it wasn't a decent game.

But except for the first time, my body was never taken over.

And he was certainly weak (...).

I think I was exhausted by taking over my body.

(…… but you ca n’t beat him any number of times)

To win, you must strengthen your “heart”.

(... Yes! If you can't find the answer even if you think about it alone, ask Mr. Leia!)

Fortunately she is very knowledgeable about nuclei.

You probably know a good way to train your heart.

"Teacher, to strengthen my heart--"

The next moment I opened my mouth,

"--Ciss, I came to fight a little!"

The door of the soul dressing room was opened roughly.

From there came a group of five people.

They were all dressed up at Chiba Gakuin uniform, some of which were seen in school buildings several times.

Perhaps, my first year student.

"By the way, by the way! Allen-Roadle is where and when is [The Third Class Swordsman]?"

... Apparently their purpose was like me.
