Shock

When Roja pulled his weapon, Moss's blade was sliced in two almost as soon as it was drawn. Z, as well as the majority of the teachers, had a surprised expression on their faces.

"Isn't this...?" says the speaker.

He had grown so much in only one month that one of the teachers couldn't help but remark, "Didn't think that in just one month his swordplay would have grown to this degree." What do you think of this power of a natural swordmaster?"

Roja's swordplay was too harsh during the real evaluation a month earlier, despite the fact that he demonstrated the strength of his flame.

However, after a month, Roja's one blow, which shattered Moss's sword in two, seemed to be like a torrent of water. Apparently, he had his first sight of the essence of the sword method while on his journey.

On the field of battle.

Roja turned to face Moss, who had misplaced his sword and was staring at him in disbelief.

"If your body is more powerful than the sword, you may go on." The issue is, is he who he claims to be?

Roja stared at Moss with a grin on his face, but as he heard those words, his smile changed to one of malice.

When the findings came in, Moss was taken aback and couldn't accept them, so he retrieved the shattered sword and lifted it once again.

But there's a catch.

While Moss was still waiting for the sword to fall, Roja slashed Moss' neck with his Hono no tsuki.

Bang.

The shattered sword was thrown on the ground.

He could feel the blade on his neck. Moss's heart was ice cold and he didn't dare to make a move. Finally, he slumped to the ground, his eyes wide with astonishment in his expression.

Taking a look at this scene After shaking his head, the teacher stated the outcome in a straightforward manner.

"Roja is victorious!"

Upon seeing that the teacher had declared the outcome, Roja withdrew his sword and placed it back into its scabbard, using just one arm as he made his way down the ramp to the arena floor.

And those bewildered recruits had finally regained consciousness.

« Moss' sword got chopped off in the middle of battle?

The sword used by Roja is not a typical sword, if I am not mistaken.

« Even if it's not a regular sword, can anybody simply chop through steel with a knife?»

Many recruits were taken aback and took a closer look at half of the blade that had been placed on the arena floor. The cut was very clean, and it mirrored the light like a merrior.

This wasn't steel vs. steel; rather, it was steel = cutting wood, which was a more accurate description.

Even a seasoned recruit like Drake couldn't help but be taken aback by the sight and show a startled expression as well.

Some individuals recalled what they had seen and muttered out loud at the same time.

"That individual... It seems that he only utilised one arm."

Even though using two hands would have given Roja greater strength, he just used one and sliced Moss's sword in half. What if you used both hands?

Do you think he'll split Moss in half as well?

Despite the fact that he is not in first position, many people were struck by Roja's poise and dignity, and they couldn't help but admire his courage and determination. Those rumours were completely unfounded from the beginning.

In addition, there are several excellent recruits. The individuals that were in the same group as Roja were the ones who were the most scared and spooked.

Having just announced that Roja was at the bottom of the fifth group, they were met with immediate retaliation: slapping their cheeks.

"The sword of Moss..."

"How is this possible?!?"

Those who were acquainted with Roja's power were startled to the point that their eyes bulged out.

In spite of the fact that Roja had not attended training in two months, he had previously shown an inability to finish the most frequent run and was usually last. He would be able to comfortably beat Moss two months later.

The Roja of the present and the Roja of the past are separated by a gap in power that is heavens apart.

On the other hand, the recruits from the fifth group, who had just recently learned about him, scoffed.

"Interesting."

Isn't it true that he's at the bottom of the fifth group?" What a load of nonsense. Even though he wasn't the first, his strength is much superior to that of the majority of the recruits. Those in the fifth category are really something to simply spread stories about."

Alternatively, might it be that... everyone in your gang is stronger than him?"

The fifth group, which spread stories about Roja and caused their cheeks to flame with rage, was scoffed upon by the recruits.

Some people stared at him with odd eyes and couldn't help but say, "He's not wonderful, but his sword is too sharp." Others couldn't help but agree, saying, "His sword is too sharp."

Even though he is from the 21 O Wazamono manga, Honoo no tsuki uses a steel sword rather than some kind of rotting corpse to cut his way through the air.

Someone then pointed out Roja's sword, and the person who spoke before him became rigid as a result of that statement.

Given the difficulty of stepping down this time, he simply said, "I dare you to challenge Roja."

If he can defeat Roja, everything will be fine in the world.

Despite the fact that Roja's sword is razor-sharp, He can prevail as long as he does not confront it directly. This is due to the fact that his has greater power and speed than Roja. However, he has grown in strength over the course of those two months. I'm not going to be all that different.

Yes, that's exactly it!

Dars immediately walked up to the arena, as if he had heard something.

When Roja completed the first bout, the recruits were shocked to learn that someone else would confront him immediately after. Likewise, the challenger, despite somewhat better performance than his predecessor, is still ranked in the hundreds.

For the time being, the challenges will not be dismissed as long as they comply with the regulations. However, if you have been challenged more than once, you may opt to take a ten-minute break before continuing the battle.

Roja didn't resort to violence and didn't seem to be in need of rest. However, as the person in charge of explaining the regulations to the recruits, the instructor turned his head to face Roja and stated.

"Roja, since you were challenged twice in a row, you have the right to take 10 minutes of rest."

"I don't have to do anything; you can get started right away."

Roja shrugged his shoulders and walked on to the stage to begin playing.

When the teacher saw this, he immediately began the match.

Start the game with Roja against Dars!

With the teacher declaring the start of the competition, the game is officially underway. In the blink of an eye, the sound of a sword clash could be heard, and half of a blade soared into the air before softly landing on the ground.

People are different, but the result is the same.

Dars wished he could dodge Roja's blade and strike back, but it was just a wishful thinking on his part. Would Roja give him the opportunity to prove himself?

He drew his sword and pushed Dars to parry his attack before slicing Dars's blade in two with one swift motion.

"Next!"

While still in the arena, Roja, who was standing with his sword, said something.
