Kenta, who had just returned from his second date, examined his hand. The warmth of the girl's hand he had been holding did not fade at all.
Even though he called her, she did not answer, which made him a little sad.
But he's also looking forward to meeting his fiancee in a few days. Nevertheless, at that time! He was aware that he needed to train now.
While waiting for his father to arrive, he would demonstrate his [Chop] ability in front of him. Kenta walked and retrieved his language notes as he began to study them.
In the end, only a few things remained for him to learn in it. With these items, he could begin learning real magic.
"Kenta!" His father entered the room as Kenta was studying notes. Knowing how hectic Kenta's days had been with all of his training, he felt proud when he viewed his son. However, he had never heard his child complaining about it.
"Dad welcome! The basic Chop skill you taught me appears to have been mastered. Consequently, my body's muscles, strength, and lung capacity have grown throughout these practice days."
Kenta was quite pleased with his accomplishment, which his father was able to recognize without difficulty.
He surveyed his guard, who was two years older than Kenta. The boy rushed toward them with a grin on his face after he was summoned by a signal.
"Yes! What can I do for you, sir?" The young man exuded a dignified aura as he wore leather armor and light gears on his body.
"Kenta! You will spar with this individual. The two of you will utilize [Chop] and [Basic Swordsmanship] the most. While 20 points of a strike will be used to determine the winner."
Theo took out two wooden swords and passed them down to his son and Kortan.
Where both of them held the wooden sword, Kenta appeared quite enthusiastic about sparring with Kortan.
Kortan stood erect, and as he observed Kenta's ecstatic smile, he felt a small amount of anger.
The change in expression on Korton's face prompted Kenta to assume an alert stance and take a deep breath as he awaited Korton's next move.
"If you don't show up! Then it will be me who makes the initial move." Korton utilized the same velocity as Kenta's movement, which Korton had likely observed previously.
The knight's attack was a straightforward dive attack that was not particularly quick.
However, for a specific reason, despite the fact that Korton was moving at a similar rate. The assault appeared to be more aggressive and swifter than anticipated.
While the sword was swung in an upward arc from a downward arc.
Kenta attempted to retreat, but the sword's trajectory toward his chest remained unchanged despite his efforts.
Initially, the radius of the sword's cut was small, so it appeared to be swift. However, when Kenta retreated, Korton only needed to extend his leg in order to fit.
Enhanced the appearance of the attack's speed and precision while simultaneously expanding its range.
In response to this attack, Kenta resorted to his fundamentals, which were deeply ingrained in him.
Who had been training swordsmanship fundamentals for the past seven to eight years? Horizontal Slash! Directly toward Korton's neck.
If he cannot defend against such an attack, he would kill the enemy with his own attack.
That was the foundation of what Kenta had learned, but Korton was taller and had a longer reach, and his blade arrived faster than Kenta's.
"5 points awarded to Korton... Take the appropriate distance from the center. And be ready for the second round. Before that, please take a two-minute break."
"Ohh!" Individuals in the guard circle observed the game with hushed curiosity.
As everyone anticipated the next performance by Kenta and Korton, Kenta was frustrated.
They both wield the same sword, employ the same technique, and demonstrate the same swordsmanship.
However, he was defeated by a boy who was only two years his senior. While he was currently beating him black and blue with the same physics.
'I wanted to learn Intermediate Swordsmanship. But I'd never used the fundamentals of swordsmanship in battle. My narrow-mindedness was the cause of my defeat, but now I would use basic swordsmanship to defeat advanced swordsmanship. That will be my goal going forward.'
It was the first time! It was the first time Theo had seen Kenta's frustrated expression... He only wanted to knock out Kenta's self-assurance.
On the other hand, it appeared that Kenta's mind had shifted to something else.
'What exactly are you thinking?'
'Kenta, you want to defeat Korton with your basic swordsmanship. Then it is impossible to do that! After all, Korton had practiced advanced swordsmanship. His swordsmanship had been honed through numerous experiences against many experts. It is not something, a novice can see through that easily.'
As he looked at Kenta, who had come to sit on the ground, Theo was thinking in his head. While doing so, he opened his notebook and began writing something.
"What Kenta master is writing something at this time. Is he giving up, or is he trying to distract himself with some new activity? After all, writing can help you relax, but losing your cool during a fight is not."
Another experienced soldier murmured with his teammates behind Theo, and even Korton looked at Kenta as if he were a fool.
'Yes! It is impossible to defeat a warrior like that using traditional methods, Kenta. A man like that can only be defeated by someone with an unusual mindset.'
Theo smiled as he looked at his son, who was doing an excellent job of keeping him alive in this situation.
"The contestants' 5 minutes are up. Will now return to the ground for another round of sparring."
Following that, Kenta and Korton fought several battles, with each battle winner receiving two points.
Until Korton won by 19 points, whereas Kenta had yet to win at all. Despite the fact that every match was exciting because of Kenta's new self-sacrifice technique.
But, in the end, Korton won every single match point with the calm and rational mindset of a novice.
"Hmm! But why does this appear to be the case? In such an unusual situation, Master Kenta is becoming increasingly calm."
When other people heard the voice! They began to see those things as well.
They continue to stare at Kenta, who was taking his time writing something in his notebook.
With a determined look on his face, he had stopped paying attention to what was going on around him. He used the true ability of the Heaven Seer at that point.
"The second match is about to begin, and both contestants should exit their respective areas. In the center of the field, where the round will begin."
Kenta and Korton moved out when they heard the voice, but something about Kenta had changed, as he appeared calm and collected to the point.
Everyone noticed something strange about Kenta, including his father, who was staring at him for the same reason. While Kenta was only concerned with his adversary.
The round has begun!
Kenta took the lead, jogging his way toward Korton.
Kenta smiled as he slammed his leg to launch a full dive assault. He was waiting for it, squeezing out everything, Kenta recall the sensation inside the water.
When he used the rock and their weight to make his leg act like a spring to launch his body. He did the same thing as before, but there was no weight on him this time.
Kenta's body moved like a bullet being launched from the barrel.
Both of them felt their swords strike each other, but Korton was not finished. He delivered a powerful kick to Kenta's thigh.
When Kenta slammed his right leg, a tremendous amount of momentum was released like a whip. Which caused his sword to shine brighter than a star... [Chop] Wooden sword variant.
The power of the skill outweighed the power of Korton's sword, which was blown to bits as he was sent out, tumbling 3 meters away...
'Kenta is the winner of this round... 2 points are awarded to him.' Theo spoke up as they noticed Kenta collapsing, dizzy and weak all over.
While Korton was able to regain his footing. As he looked at Kenta, his eyes were wide with surprise.
"Using Chop as a swordsmanship technique... Is he serious?" When Theo took Kenta's notebook and brought it over to Korton for inspection, he murmured.
Every note was written about how Korton was able to use his Chop skill, which was incorporated into the fighting move. As if all previous rounds had been played under Kenta's supervision. This gave him a freak unlike any other he'd seen.
