"By the way, would you like to spar, Kashasha?"
"Sparring?" The gray-haired young man touched his chin, looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and pretended to think deeply, "It's not impossible..."
suddenly--
The lights went out, Scotland's eyes suddenly went black, and he felt something coming towards him. There is no breath. Rather than people, what moved across the space looked more like something inorganic.
Scotland instinctively hid, but felt a chill on his neck. Kawakamiji anticipated his movements.
The lights suddenly came on, and Kawakami Tsumugi was still standing there with a smile. Scotland reached out and touched his neck, the blue ink in his hand.
"To be honest, my physical skills are quite poor. This is my limit." Kawakami said sincerely, "I'm not necessarily better than you."
Tsk, the new guy's wings are so strong that he dares to ask him for a fight.
Tsumugi Kawakami smiled gently on the outside but was expressionless on the inside.
What's really embarrassing is that Kawakami's physical skills can only be described as "just okay". He really may not be able to beat Scotland.
Tsumugi Kawakami is considered to be on the intellectual stream and technical stream, and his physical skills have spanned from joining the organization to now. The main reason is that his strength is weak and his endurance is not good.
All in all, a group with poor physical fitness.
As his boss, Gin once beat him up in the name of an inspection and kindly suggested that he go back and rebuild. Even the cheap system gave him a C- rating in close combat, with the following words: "One word to describe him, bad."
But he couldn't avoid Scotland's invitation. After all, this was the first time Scotland had tested him since the two had been together for so long.
"If there is a competition, I still hope you will be gentler to senior."
Kawakami took off his black windbreaker, hung it on a hook on the wall, put away his glasses, and walked into the training ground first.
Scotland noticed that he was thin. It's hard to believe he's an adult based on his physical appearance.
Without the cover of his windbreaker and glasses, Kawakami Tsumugi's own weirdness is like the cold pool revealed after the fog dissipates.
A sense of inhumanity. A word suddenly appeared in Scotland's mind.
Kawakami was the first to attack and hit him directly in the face. Scotland blocked, instead of retreating, he advanced and grabbed the opponent's wrist.
The gray-haired young man did not panic at all and changed direction flexibly midway. He moved so fast that Scotland felt the chill on his wrist.
The first confrontation is over. Kawakami took two steps back and said, "You're not serious, Scotland. If you are really an enemy, your right hand is already disabled."
Scotland wiped the blue ink on his wrist. He glanced at the tactical gloves worn by Kawakami Tsumugi and didn't know where this guy put the ink.
If it were poison instead of ink, his body would have been cold.
"Go on," Scotland said.
Tsuyoshi Kawakami is actually a very difficult opponent.
With extremely fast speed, excellent prediction ability, and the skill of hitting the acupuncture points with every move - Scotland's attacks failed seven times out of ten.
But as time went by, Scotland clearly felt that Kawakami's physical fitness could not keep up with his ability to predict.
He saw a flaw in Kawakami's movement and swept across with a whip leg. Kawakami didn't completely avoid it, but pushed a few steps sideways to relieve the momentum.
Scotland did not pursue the victory, and Kawakami took the opportunity to say: "Let's end it here."
Kawakami could last up to 20 minutes in such a high-intensity physical confrontation.
Of course, he would not fight with others so politely for so long.
Kawakami Tsumugi is used to using underhanded tactics and deadly attacks, striving to solve problems within three moves. He is also considered to be a member of the research team, and he never lacks poisons that can be used.
Therefore, Tsumugi Kawakami never fails when performing tasks such as stealth assassinations.
Even so, Kawakami Tsuya only resorts to tasks that require certain physical skills when there is no other way - such as being forced by Gin.
Isn't it great for long-range sniping?
However, if you encounter a master of physical skills, or someone who is familiar with his routines, the chance of being counterattacked is very high. Therefore, Kawakami's evaluation of himself is still "good".
Kawakami doesn't care about exposing this to Scotland. He has lived with this weakness in the organization for decades and naturally has his own way of dealing with it.
What's more, this battle is Scotland's test of him and his test of Scotland.
"Your physical skills are better than I thought - judging from your moves, have you received systematic training?"
It's not just systematic training, but long-term systematic training, Kawakami judged.
Some of Scotland's tricks have a clear sense of being taught, and the derived little moves have a somewhat deliberate flavor.
He had professional training before joining the organization, and he wanted to hide it.
This is inconsistent with the information in the Scottish archives.
And Scotland's acuity against fatal attacks is relatively insufficient. It shows that he did not practice for a long time on the line of life and death before entering the organization.
If Gin were here, he would probably have revealed his gun and said another catchphrase: "I smell a rat."
"I was taught during the organization's newbie training period," Scotland replied.
"Winery? Is our newbie training so good?" Tsumugi Kawakami smiled half-heartedly, "Unfortunately, I bet that the instructor gave up on me long ago during my training."
"Uh... probably not?"
There was a feeling in Scotland that when Kawakami Tsuyoshi said the word "pity", there was a different kind of teasing in his eyes.
It may also be his misunderstanding. Kawakami Tsumugi is quite neurotic.
Scotland did receive physical training in the police academy, but he went through a long period of corrective training before going undercover. In the past, even Gin could not be seen in the Gin Operation Team.
"Who knows?" Kawakami shrugged, "We can stay here for two hours, of course you can leave directly."
"I'll keep it for a while," Scotland replied.
This time's test of Kawakami Tsumugi was actually a bit reckless.
Scotland didn't even know why he did it. What puzzled him even more was that Kawakami Tsumugi did not avoid his request, but directly exposed his weakness in physical skills to him.
Kawakami returns to the room on the far right, his library.
"Tsk, I told you to be gentle to seniors, you bastard..."
Kawakami opened his clothes, and a large bruise appeared on the right side of his waist. He pressed gently with his hand, gasped in pain, and skillfully applied the plaster on himself. After finishing it, he took out a book from the bookshelf to pass the time.
"But it's much better than Gin. Gin's was a completely one-sided beating."
Based on Gin's violent tendencies, Scotland must have been trained in Taijutsu under Gin.
Therefore, Gin did not find any inconsistency between Scotland's information and the actual situation.
Whether this matter is big or small, there are many employees in the winery whose files are half-truths. Kawakami Tsumugi has always believed in the principle of "doubt the crime and never plead guilty".
Therefore, as long as it is not conclusive evidence that there is a problem in Scotland, Kawakami feels that he does not need to be angry.
After all, there weren't many people he could talk to in the organization, and he didn't want his partner to be lost before he lost interest.
