The class then ended with nothing, and he welcomed after school as he pondered his next sword class.

At the end of a brief transmission in the home room, as usual, the female students in the class come to chat.

Speak softly and head to the regular meeting, where you will be greeted with an elegant afternoon -

"Doctor, please"

... It wasn't even that.

Discipline around picking me up after the meeting, or maybe you still think I'm getting away with it.

Or does it feel like I couldn't wait?

I guess I was really looking forward to getting the archery around my eyes shining a little.

You can also tell by what happened during the earlier swordsmanship class.

"You don't have to panic. I'm not running. The place, right? Are you still in the woods without people?"

"Yes, let's go right away!

"Don't panic so much"

I'm so excited to know if I'm going on a hike.

I'm actually going to do an archery of swordsmanship.

After-school practice martial arts fields are often used by students to practice magic and archery swordsmanship among themselves.

The combination of me and Iris makes me stand out clearly.

Besides, if the lecturer witnessed me telling Illis exactly how many times, that might make a corner.

In view of all the considerations, it was decided to take a discreet form.

So me and Iris came to the woods in the grounds of the school.

Some parcels are off-limits because assassins targeting Illis entered the other day.

On the face of it, what the assassins have done has not been made public.

Iris himself would not want them to know that his life had been targeted.

"Well, then it's time for an audition."

"Thank you."

Until earlier I was a little nervous about riding, but this time I seemed a little nervous.

Ilis Reinfel - known as "Princess Kensei" she is also famous in school.

The image of strong and noble precedes, and many of the students call her the title or the way she distances herself from God Illis.

But when I treated her like this, she was usually a nervous girl.

It's so unsettling during class.

"Don't be so nervous. Take it easy."

"Ha, ha."

"Well, first of all, I want to see what Mr. Iris is capable of, so..."

"Is it a match!?

"Mr. Iris has a lot of blood. Aria says she wants to play games all of a sudden."

"Wow, I've been asking for it for a long time, too. The..."

Look at me, Illis.

How good would this have been if this had been a confession from a girl or something? The reality is - they want you to fight.

It's not like I don't know how Iris feels.

For her, at least because there's a verse that she thinks fighting me is the closest way to breaking the shell.

If you notice anything in the fight, it will definitely lead to growth.

It's called gaining experience.

Well, now I'd rather be solid than take that way.... Whatever, the situation is.

"Before you fight me, can you see this first?

That said, I wave a simulated sword in my hand.

Only the sound of humming the wind echoed around, and the fluttering grass swayed.

I simply waved my sword, but I'm pretty serious about that one right now.

"Yes, for once, I can see"

"For once, I mean the level you can follow with your eyes, okay?

"Yes...... yes"

"So what about this"

Wave your sword again.

Now faster than earlier - the sound of cutting the wind was sharper, and I shook my sword off faster than wind pressure occurred.

With the look of Iris surprised,

"I can see, I will..."

He said he couldn't handle it.

"Yes. At this level, it's hard to take it off, heel"

Iris answers honestly.

Her strength is real - but if she can actually take my sword off, that won't be possible.

That's not because she's weak.

"From now on, Mr. Iris will be able to receive this sword."

"! Does that mean you'll endure Dr. Schweitz's punch in?

"That's the way it should be, but not this time. Mr. Iris doesn't seem to have noticed, but you could have been cut off from my attack."

"Huh!? What do you mean?

Illis shouts his surprise.

Even though she replied she couldn't take it off, in my view, at least with her strength alone, Illis can take off my sword.

What is missing is still experience - it comes from it, a feeling.

"Remember Azma Klee, one of the assassins who targeted you the other day?

"Um - of The Swordsmen..."

Her look at the word swordsmen is somewhere dark.

Does she have the feeling that she can't win on her own?

No, she knew about the swordsmen - maybe something, but now we're talking more about swordsmanship than that.

"That's right. He prevented my swordsmanship. Now swordsmanship is a little slower than it was then, but Mr. Iris' prowess is no worse than that of Azma. That Azma has prevented my attack several times. There's no way you can prevent it."

"I know somehow when they say that... but I don't think I can actually prevent it."

"So this audition is very simple. Mr. Iris, can you 'slay the fallen leaves'?

"Yes, if that's about it..."

That's about it, but slashing leaves is something you can't do without being a pretty good swordsman.

I can see the level of Illis when I say farewell.

What is required of Illis is not just to slaughter.

"So what about this?"

Wave your sword against the void once.

When the wind rolled, several leaves fell behind me.

Keep it up - I'll chop it up without seeing the leaves fall.

I didn't send my gaze to the scattered fallen leaves and turned them into two straight pieces.

"! What now...? Don't look. Did you slaughter him?

"Exactly. I haven't seen how many leaves were scattered or where they flew, but I can tell by the feeling."

"Or what is the feeling... can you do that?

"For example, when you feel like killing... Mr. Iris would also be able to avoid short knives from assassins, wouldn't he? That's the problem with the feeling. Feeling things coming from invisible places is like that initial step. Well, it may be harder this way for less killing, but that will be more practice. Azma prevented my attack because he felt where my attack was coming from. If you know where you're coming from, don't you think you can prevent it, even if it was a level you could follow with critical eyes?

"That's... yes, but..."

Of course, this comes through because she's as powerful as Iris.

Because if you're a regular person, you can't move fast enough to prevent my sword in the first place.

It may not be the kind of training that Illis would seek, but this method will surely grow her.

First of all, let her use her strength to fight, rather than train herself to be strong.

"You don't have to slash multiple pieces and throw them away like I do. The first step is to ensure one - to slash the invisible, scattered fallen leaves. Can you?

To my inquiry, the look on the face of Illis, who at first showed confusion, changes.

Her small, exhaled expression is serious in itself.

"I can. I'll be able to do it by the end of the day."

I smile and answer to Iris. [M]

Inside, let the penetration in that you don't need to be able to do it by the end of the day.
