Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

He knew Kurogane Ikki well.

He knew that this guy couldn't possibly have a master, and no one would teach him swordsmanship.

He might not even have had a decent opponent in recent years.

That is to say, his current achievements are all due to practicing behind closed doors, relying on his own sweat and meditation.

All of this shows that Kurogane Ikki's swordsmanship is far beyond ordinary people.

If the knight assessment level test in this world had a swordsmanship category, it is estimated that Kurogane Ikki would be at least A-level, and more likely above that.

"Makoto, your progress is also very fast."

While Aramura Makoto was expressing his surprise at him, he was also expressing his surprise at Aramura Makoto.

He once again swung his sword to block Aramura Makoto's slash.

Kurogane Ikki deeply sighed.

He hadn't had much contact with other swordsmen, and what he did have was just watching some swordsmen's videos online, and when he desperately challenged those swordsmanship dojos to hone himself.

So he didn't know what the normal growth rate of swordsmen was.

But he felt that Aramura Makoto's growth rate was very fast.

In such a short period of time, Aramura Makoto was like a sponge, frantically absorbing the knowledge and swordsmanship he taught him.

Let's put it this way.

If his swordsmanship progress rate was compared to his own age.

The original Aramura Makoto was at most at the level of when he was five years old and just touched a sword, and now Aramura Makoto is at least at the swordsmanship level he had when he was nine years old.

"Makoto, you are a natural swordsman."

"Your flexible wrists and soft joints allow you to explode the greatest power of your body in any posture in an instant."

Kurogane Ikki, who completely saw through Aramura Makoto, directly pointed out the reason why Aramura Makoto could improve so much.

"Although I don't have any related moves, there is a movement I want you to take a look at."

"I think you are very suitable for this kind of swordsmanship."

Kurogane Ikki stated this, and then took a step back.

"Okay!"

Without asking what Kurogane Ikki's move was, Aramura Makoto also took a step back, staring intently at Kurogane Ikki's wrist.

Therefore, Kurogane Ikki also took a deep breath.

He saw him step forward with his left foot, his back foot behind, his knees half bent, showing a posture similar to a horse stance, and Yin Tie was also placed behind his waist.

"—"

The feeling in the air suddenly changed, becoming like a storm was about to come, and Aramura Makoto felt a palpitation.

"Watch carefully!"

As soon as the voice fell.

"Clang—"

A clear sound of a blade resounded directly in this space.

"—"

Aramura Makoto's pupils suddenly shrank.

His pupils changed instantly, emitting a faint red glow.

At this moment, it seemed that the surrounding world had slowed down a bit, and Aramura Makoto was finally able to see clearly.

A blade of light had already flashed in front of him.

It was completely too late to dodge, even if he accelerated his body's functions now, the signal transmission and the use of magic power would be enough for this blade to cut his throat.

"Bang—"

Magic power directly surged out of his body, forcibly blocking the blade.

And now, the position where this blade stopped was less than a millimeter away from his neck.

"Sorry."

"It's nothing, this is enough to show that your nerve reflex speed is outstanding."

"Although I'm not very good at Battōjutsu, it's not so easy to react to such an attack."

Kurogane Ikki looked at Aramura Makoto, his eyes flashing red.

If you want to become an excellent swordsman, let's put aside the spiritual will for the time being.

Just talking about the body.

For the control of one's own body joints, and the nerve reflex speed, these two are the most needed.

Generally speaking, these two items are compensated for through acquired training.

Like him, he has been deliberately training these two items since he was a child.

But there are also some people who are born with these two enviable talents.

Aramura Makoto is such a person.

"So it's Battōjutsu?"

Aramura Makoto was also slightly surprised.

"What, Makoto, have you studied Battōjutsu before?"

Dispelling the Yin Tie in his hand, Kurogane Ikki walked up to Aramura Makoto and asked curiously.

"Forget it, I'll just show you."

Aramura Makoto didn't say much, just motioned Kurogane Ikki to move away, and then pointed to a big tree in front of him.

With the condensation of starlight, Kuuretsu directly appeared in his drooping right hand.

"Bang bang bang bang—"

Flashes of light suddenly appeared around Aramura Makoto, and gunshots suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, four not-so-small circular bullet holes appeared on the big tree that Aramura Makoto was pointing at.

"A gun that can't see the firing point, so that's how it is, Battōjutsu changed into a gun technique."

"No wonder Makoto-kun, you are so familiar with it."

"It's no wonder that the flexibility of the wrist is so high."

Everything needs to be exercised before talent can be realized, otherwise talent is just talent after all.

Aramura Makoto, who has been using grappling hooks for many years, plus training in gun skills, has already trained his body.

"But in that case, that's fine."

"It will be much easier to learn Battōjutsu."

On a bench not far away, Kurogane Shizuku and Stella were sitting here.

That's right, these two incompatible guys are now sitting here, looking at Aramura Makoto and Kurogane Ikki not far away.

"Brother seems to be very happy."

Kurogane Shizuku looked like she was eating vinegar, her small mouth pouting high.

"Obviously, this is the time for me and Makoto to practice."

"If he could be replaced by me, it would be great, I could be intimate with my brother."

"…"

Two lines of sight that were absolutely impossible to intersect overlapped at this moment.

"So, Miss Stella, you have feelings for Aramura-kun…"

"Don't, don't say it…"

Kurogane Shizuku asked suspiciously, and Stella shouted out in shame and anger.

But for some reason, Stella always felt that Kurogane Shizuku's hostility towards her had suddenly decreased a lot.

Then, Kurogane Shizuku spoke.

"Since that's the case, Your Highness Stella, let's cooperate."

……

Late at night, Stella, who was lying on the upper bunk and unable to fall asleep for a long time, was quietly thinking.

In fact, it's more accurate to say it's early morning, after all, it's already five o'clock in the morning of the next day, and in another hour, it will even be the morning exercise time that she and Aramura Makoto have agreed upon every day.

And the only reason why she couldn't fall asleep all night was.

That was what Kurogane Shizuku had said to her during the day at night.

"Your Highness Stella, let's cooperate."

In a trance, Kurogane Shizuku's annoying face also began to appear in her mind.

"Cooperate? Cooperate on what?"

A sudden, unannounced sentence directly plunged Stella into confusion.

"Cooperate on offense and defense."

A trace of solemnity also flashed in Kurogane Shizuku's green eyes.

"What does this mean…"

Stella still didn't completely understand what Kurogane Shizuku meant.

But Kurogane Shizuku was not annoyed at all, just raised the corners of her mouth slightly upwards.

"First of all, I want you to admit one thing, even if you don't agree, you can't shout it out loudly, otherwise your brother might notice."

Probably because the two of them have always been noisy and incompatible.

Suddenly, Kurogane Shizuku showed such a solemn attitude, and for a while Stella was also stunned, and nodded subconsciously.

"You have a good impression of Aramura Makoto, right."

The blood seemed to rush to the brain like a reverse flow in an instant, and the emotion of shame frantically squeezed her heart, and the words of rebuttal rushed directly to her mouth, wanting to blurt out.

But the agreement with Kurogane Shizuku just now made her instantly elevated body temperature drop a little.

Maintaining this state for a short period of time, Stella nodded with a low murmur like a mosquito flapping its wings.

"Yes!"

"That's much easier."

Kurogane Shizuku clapped her hands, and that smile that seemed like a little devil seemed to feel that she had completely grasped Stella.

"Your Highness Stella, I have to tell you one thing, your current situation is quite bad."

Not only is it bad, but her current feeling is very unhappy.

The feeling that the initiative of this conversation is completely in the hands of others makes her feel that she is inferior to Kurogane Shizuku, but she still cast a questioning look with curiosity in her heart and asked.

"Why is my situation very bad?"

"Of course, it's about the competitors."

Kurogane Shizuku shook her slender legs wrapped in black silk.

"How rare is a Blader who can be rated as an A-level knight in the student era, Your Highness Stella, you won't be unaware of it, right."

"Throughout history, it was only when the 『World Clock』 and 『Yaksha Princess』 appeared at the same time ten years ago."

The level of a knight can be improved by doing tasks, such as improving one's magic control, improving one's combat skills, and developing more uses for one's Blade Device abilities through acquired means.

Generally speaking, C-level knights have the potential to be upgraded to A-level knights.

The probability of B-level knights being upgraded to A-level knights is also higher. In fact, many A-level knights in the alliance now are upgraded through acquired means.

"And now another A-level knight has appeared, and he is still an A-level knight without a master or any background."
