TEASER Chapter 4 Part 6
"...
Why ... Such a thing."
"Why?
It's because I've decided. It is for Lisa. "
While
saying it's for Lisa, Ken keeps his face ugly and distorted,
"Isn't
that true? Lisa will surely be a great
adventurer. She's a person who will be seen by everyone. Do you think she will
need a footwear like you next to her? That's why I sent you away. "
Nozomu's
body had solidified as if he were in a frigid place. His mouth is dry and his
limbs are quivering.
No
matter how much he was prepared in his mind. Nozomu's mind and body were
completely solidified by the fact that his best friend was really the cause of
everything.
"But
you already noticed. So I don't have to pretend anymore."
When
Ken says so, he pulls out the longsword that was hung on his waist and casts strengthening
magic on himself with a very natural movement.
"I
thought you were already giving up, but when I saw you pressing Lisa for an
answer at the bar at that time, it seems that you haven't given up yet. It's
just right, so I'll just crush you right here."
When
he said so to Nozomu, Ken stepped forward in an instant and swung his longsword
down to Nozomu.
"Kuh
!!"
Nozomu's
countless actual combat experiences make Nozomu's judgment to pull out his
katana faster and stop Ken's longsword.
Ken
quickly pursues Nozomu and swipes his longsword like a whirlwind.
It's
no doubt that he has the ability to rise to rank A as a teenager.
There
is no waste in his physical strengthening magic, and it is clear that it gives
him overwhelming power.
Ken’s slash had water torrent-like momentum and
clear stream-like tranquility.
Nozomu's
movement against Ken is slower than ever. Nozomu’s posture is lost with a single blow, and his
upper body is pushed away.
There
is no flexibility that he had until now.
Nozomu's
consciousness could not concentrate on the fight at all.
The
balance between his consciousness and body has completely collapsed, and only
his actual combat experience he had cultivated so far moved Nozomu's body and
managed to surpass Ken's sword dance.
"Haha!
What's wrong Nozomu! Did you think you could be with her with such a move? Don't make me laugh!"
However,
it doesn't seem to last long.
Ken
ridiculed the awkward appearance of Nozomu and started chanting while performing a slash.
Nozomu
hurriedly tried to disturb Ken's chanting, but because he couldn't maintain
sufficient power, he was easily hit by Ken, exposing a large gap, and at the
same time Ken's chanting ended.
