"——The man who comes to challenge the Sword Master!"
Hearing such an answer, Kurt wasn't too surprised. He had "received" dozens if not hundreds of challengers these days, many of them strange.
And it can be seen from the tall and straight posture of the man in black that he is a strong warrior, who is different from the guy he just knocked down.
The blue-haired boy tilted his sword in his right hand and said: "Challengers, please go to the communication room to register first and line up in order when school is over tomorrow. Today's challenge time is over."
Yes, you read that right, there is a registration queue.
The activity of challenging the Sword Master is so popular. Even if students are asked to guard and divert, they still can't be dealt with. Tida, who is thinking fast, is already considering whether to make a simple number calling machine to save some manpower. .
There was nothing wrong with Kurt's arrangement. On the surface, it was first come, first served, but secretly, the past day was enough for the intelligence personnel to find out the origin of this person.
For a mature approach, Claire silently gave a high evaluation.
Not only did these children's strength improve rapidly, but so did their handling skills. They became more and more like Rean back then. This was probably what he expected.
However, the man in black was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp. He did not follow Kurt's arrangement. Instead, he slowly lowered his body and said in a deep voice:
"Your school is open for one hour every day, and less than fifty-eight minutes have passed now. Please let me make the best use of the remaining time."
Kurt's heart trembled when he heard this, and he raised his swords as quickly as possible.
But the opponent's speed was actually faster than him. In an instant, he had crossed the distance between the two and came to Kurt. He also had a huge cross-shaped weapon in his hand. He thought he was alert enough. Kurt didn't realize where he pulled out such a large weapon.
With a clang, the sword collided with the cross blade.
Kurt's mouth was shaking violently, and his wrists were sore and numb.
Strength was not his strong point, and coupled with his misjudgment of weapons, he had completely lost the opportunity.
But Kurt did not give up, nor did he try to support him. Instead, he calmly judged the situation, retreated to dissipate his strength, and took the opportunity to draw out his two swords, thereby taking advantage of the double swordsman's quick attack.
Unfortunately, the opponent was far more difficult than Kurt thought, and he didn't give him any chance to escape. You retreated and I advanced, you drew your sword, and I - with one hand, I actually fanned the blades of a force-guided fan. The cross weapon separated into two double-ended swords, one in each hand, and continued to suppress Kurt's double swords.
The double-headed sword is longer than the one-handed sword, and the man in black is taller than Kurt. With the opportunity lost, Kurt cannot display his best skills at all, and can only be led into his own battle by the man in black. The man in black finally got a chance and kicked him in the midsection, but Kurt's legs couldn't catch up in time to resist him - because no one had longer legs, he finally fell to the ground.
"The victory has been decided."
The man in black did not pursue, and calmly put the double-headed sword back into the cross blade. The only exposed pair of eyes on his face looked around the audience like an eagle.
"Change to the next one."
At this time, exactly one minute has passed since the war started, and the opening time has not yet ended.
"etc!"
The girl with pink hair held up crutches and stopped in front of her companion, staring into the eyes of the man in black.
"We didn't say we were going to start, and you attacked us. It was a sneak attack. Moreover, Kurt has already fought twice in a row and his physical strength has been exhausted. You can't win."
It's Yuna.
Although she was at the bottom of the list in terms of strength, she rarely had the opportunity to serve as a "gatekeeper" - unless her opponent was really weak. However, she did not become discouraged. Instead, she always paid attention, observed and learned, and clearly saw through Ku. The reason for Walter's defeat.
If the battle was during a special exercise, Yuna would not tell her, because that would be foolish, and there would only be victory or defeat in a battle without rules. But this was a martial arts challenge, and it had to be fair. Yuna felt that she was simply too smart.
"Jessica, come here."
To Yuna's surprise, Jessica, who was also in the clearing group, did not come out as quickly as usual. Claire, who had always remained guarding and watching, secretly sighed.
Yuna is much stronger than when she was in the police academy, but she is still a little green.
"No need." Kurt, who was "protected" by Yuna, used his sword to support his body and stood up. "Although it was a sneak attack, in a serious duel, I will still lose. My opponent is a real strong man. He should be To save time, and—"
Moreover, it is very likely that the other party is not an ordinary martial artist, but similar to Miss Sharon, with a deeper dark background. Of course, such words are not suitable to be said in public.
Even so, it was enough to make Yuna freeze up and say "Hey."
His high-spirited expression suddenly dropped, and his cheeks on both sides twitched awkwardly.
The man in black did not care about Yuna. He waved his hand and said: "It is indeed the famous second branch of Thorz. It is indeed full of talents. I was really unable to win the battle just now. I apologize to you, young man."
"It doesn't matter, it's just my lack of strength." Kurt is most like Rean in this regard. He is not afraid of being beaten and suffers losses, and will surrender if he loses.
"So, can I challenge the next opponent?" The man in black asked calmly.
The time limit has reached at this time, but the strength shown by the man in black and the "sincerity" he has shown are really not easy to refuse casually.
Jessica and Kurt, who were in charge of guarding the martial arts level, looked at each other and said, "This is not something we can decide. Please wait a moment, I will report to the instructor."
"No need, it's not easy to meet a powerful master. It would be a pity to wait until tomorrow." A young woman wearing leather armor and a big bow hair ornament walked out of the main school building.
"You are -" Kurogane's eyes narrowed, resting on the sword on the woman's waist. This weapon is equivalent to the signature of a certain school in the West.
"Annilas Elfide is also the inheritor of the Eight Leaves One Sword Style and Rean's senior sister. If you beat me, you can challenge Rean."
After the student group, the last hurdle in front of Rean is Yanelas.
With her master-level strength and her status as a fellow senior sister, she is destined to be the most suitable gatekeeper.
After all, anyone who can pass the student group is not bad at all. He is considered a talent no matter where he is. He cannot be too neglectful. Looking at the whole school, except for the two extraordinarys of Rean and Alleria, only Yanelas has the status and cultivation level. , it will not make people feel contemptuous, but it can also show the beauty of the Eight Leaves, and it can also allow Yanilasi to gain experience and hone herself, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
Yanilas also enjoyed this process, but it was a pity that even in the martial empire, there were not many masters at the master level. Even fewer came to Rivers, and most of the time they still spent their time watching the show.
Regarding this last threshold, the man in black was no longer as casual as before, but paid great attention to it. Especially after hearing that Yanelas signed up for her number, he showed obvious hesitation.
Seeing this, Yanelas asked again: "Do you need to rest for a while?"
"No." The man in black shook his head, looked sideways at the corner where he came from, and bowed his head respectfully, "Princess, this scene -"
At first hearing the title "Princess", Elfin, Elise, Claire, and Kurt were all shocked. She was the only princess present.
Fortunately, the next second, someone responded: "It's up to me, but wait a moment, I'll finish it soon."
