The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 81 Competitors

(Hunter) Kirihara Shizuya, the swordsman level is C. He was last year's top student and a contestant in the Seven Stars Sword Fighting Festival at Pojun Academy last year. In addition, he was also a former classmate of Kurogane Ikki.

The reason why he can always hide aside is because of his unique skill of cutting swords - Hunter's Forest.

However, Ciel didn't have a good impression of him. His hidden sword-striking skills showed that he was not an upright character.

In particular, he showed malice toward Kurogane Ikki, because if it weren't for fear that Ciel on his side might say something unpleasant.

The reason why Charles left all subsequent matters to him was not because he had seven girlfriends with him.

Although Kirihara Shizuya was very reluctant, Ciel obviously did not give him the option to refuse.

After leaving everything to Kirihara Shizuya, the group returned to Pojun Academy.

After this chaotic weekend is over, the school trials will begin.

I don’t know if it was due to bad luck, but after Ikki Kuotetsu returned to school, he discovered that his opponent in the first round was Kirihara Shizuya.

From Kuroyuki Ikki, Ciel also learned what happened between the two.

Perhaps it was because they had become friends that Ikki Kuotetsu mentioned those experiences to others for the first time.

The root of everything lies in the famous Kurogane family from which Ikki Kurogane was born.

Perhaps it was because they didn’t want an F-class like Kurogane Ikki to insult Kurogane’s reputation. So on the road to becoming a Magic Knight, the Kurogane family created countless troubles for Kurogane Ikki.

Including since he was a child, Kurogane Ikki was not allowed to learn any swordsmanship. This forced Kurogete Ikki to choose to run away from home.

Even though Kurotetsu Ikki has left, the Kurotetsu family has not stopped taking actions against him.

What is the status of the Kurogane family among the swordsmen of the island country? It cannot be described as being of pivotal importance. At least it covers the sky with one hand.

In addition to the Kurogane main family, where Kurogane Ikki was born, the Kurogane family also has a large number of branch families and affiliated families with foreign surnames, and their power can be said to be deeply intertwined.

Looking around among the powerful figures in various departments of the alliance branch of the island country, there are only a few who are not related to the Kurogane family.

The former chairman of the Pojun Academy was also one of the hawks of the Kurogane family. Therefore, when Kurogane Ikki enrolled in school, he implemented a strategy against him.

That is, students whose abilities do not meet the standard are not allowed to participate in actual combat training. Therefore, in the first year, not only did Ikki Kurotetsu not have the opportunity to participate in the Seven Star Sword Fighting Festival, he was not even allowed to participate in actual combat classes.

This was not over yet, there were many rumors about Kurogane Ikki in that year.

It was said that having a good relationship with Ikki Kurotetsu would lead to being targeted by the chairman. Later, it would even develop to have a relationship with Ikki Kuotetsu, which would lower the evaluation of student resumes given by the school.

These messages directly caused Ikki Kuotetsu to be isolated, and he didn't even make a single friend during the entire school year.

Just think about it and you will know who did all this.

Among those who excluded Kurogane Ikki, Kirihara Shizuya was the one who went to the extreme.

Most people would just stay away from Kurogane Ikki, but Kirihara Shizuya would attack him.

He didn't just deliberately say bad things about Kuroyuki Ikki and others in front of him, spread rumors that were not beneficial to him, and maliciously play pranks on him.

He really took action against Kuroyuki Ikki. While the chairman's teachers looked on, Kirihara Shizuya directly attacked Kurogane Ikki with his spiritual equipment.

The irony is that no one stopped Shizuya Kirihara from committing atrocities, and he was not punished in any way afterwards.

And Kuroyuki Ikki knew that if he had not chosen to run away at that time but responded to his provocation, he would have been expelled from school.

Speaking of which, there are many people like Kirihara Shizuya in the island country! They do violence to others at will because they act like "I am a good person" and "I am easy to bully".

After hearing all this, Ciel actually felt a little regretful. He wanted to teach him a lesson before he knew what he was like.

Ciel, who was getting ready for morning exercise, looked at Kuroyuki Ikki and said, "So this is why you have such a sad face all the time?"

Kuroyuki Ikki shook his head and said: "I just have a headache, how can I cope with today's game.

I have to say that Kirihara-san’s abilities are very different from mine!”

Charles nodded and said: "That's true. It completely hides one's existence, appearance, aura, and voice. The spiritual equipment is still a bow and arrow for long-range attacks.

The most suitable response method should be a large-scale attack covering the entire arena. Unfortunately, Ikki, you can't do this.

I do have a way for you to crack Kirihara Shizuya's ability."

Kuroyuki Ikki looked at Ciel and said, "Really?"

Ciel nodded and said: "That is a special skill taught to me by a very respectable senior. It can read the life breath and emotions of the opponent.

Even if your opponent can hide his external aura, his more essential aura and hostility towards you cannot be hidden."

Kuroyuki Ikki was a bit embarrassed and said: "Is it appropriate to teach me such a technique?"

Charles smiled and said: "Since I can bring it up, it means that you can learn with confidence. But before learning, I still have something to say."

Kuroyuki Ikki looked at Ciel's solemn look and became serious.

Ciel looked at Kuroyuki Ikki and said, "After listening to your experience, I finally understand why your sword is so light!"

Kuroyuki Ikki showed a surprised expression. He knew his swordsmanship very well. It was not that he was arrogant, but he was very confident in his swordsmanship. I don't know why Ciel evaluated his swordsmanship in this way.

Ciel continued: "The strong people I have seen all have the belief to stick to their own path. Some do it for protection, some do it for dreams, and some do it for hatred!

No matter what the reason is, their motivation to become stronger has a strong source. Being able to get to this point without being expected by anyone and bearing the malice alone proves that you have your perseverance.

But having fought with you, I can feel that your persistence is too light. If I want to describe it, it is the difference between "Death to achieve something" and "Destiny to live for something."

Kurogane Ikki pondered, for him, the beginning of everything was the first elder who recognized him - the samurai Kurogane Ryoma.

"Reluctance is proof that you have not given up!" "Don't give up on yourself!" It is with this belief that he has been working hard to this day.

But indeed, as Charles said, he never seemed to find a reason not to give up.

Maybe it's to prove himself, maybe it's for a dream, or maybe it's to get his father's approval... No wonder Charles said his knife is light and airy, because nothing important has ever been placed on it.

Ciel couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Kurogane Ikki, who was about to become autistic. He originally thought that he and Asta were of the same type, but he didn't expect that Kurogane Ikki was obviously more troublesome.

Thinking of Asta, Ciel suddenly realized that the reason why he was able to walk all the way was because there was Yuno next to him!

So Ciel said: "It seems that you have noticed it too! Then let me ask you, what is your goal? Graduate from Pojun Academy and then become a magic knight?

I'm not talking about something that should be taken for granted, but something that can be called ambition."

Kurogane Ikki was silent. To be honest, he had already tried his best to become the Seven Star Sword King and obtain his graduation qualifications according to the agreement with Shinguji Kurono. He had never thought about the distant future.

Ciel approached Kurogete Ikki and said, "It seems that there is no more! Then let me talk about my ambition. I want to surpass everyone and become the strongest. Look at the scenery at the top!"

Kuroyuki Ikki exclaimed: "What an amazing dream!"

Ciel stretched out his hand to Kuroyuki Ikki and said, "How about it, do you want to see that kind of scenery?"

Kuroyuki Ikki looked at Ciel in confusion, not understanding why Ciel asked him this.

Ciel said: "Mountain climbing alone is too boring. It is more interesting for two people to compete. So, compete with me to see who can become the strongest first!"

Kurogane Ikki was stunned and said: "The strongest? I am...!"

"Don't say those depressing words. If you can't do it now, just practice hard and let yourself who breaks through the limits complete it."

Ciel interrupted Kurogane Ikki and at the same time woke up Kurogane Ikki.

Reaching out and shaking hands with Ciel, Kurogete Ikki said with a smile: "Okay! Let's compete to see who can reach the top of the mountain first!"

Charles smiled and said: "Then we are competitors! Don't forget at any time, you are my recognized competitor!

Besides me, if you lose to anyone else, I won’t let you go!”

"What are you talking about? Since we are competitors, of course I will not lose even Ciel-san!"

"Is it very impressive? I'll wait and see when the time comes!"

…

Stella was stunned when she looked at the two people smiling and shaking hands. Why did she see such a scene when she first arrived? Could it be that her biggest competitor is not the female classmates in the class but...!

Kuroyuki Ikki turned around and looked...Why did Stella-classmate look at him with murderous intent?
