I, Jianhao, infinite flow

"Yes, yes, sorry! Please forgive me!"

At the same time, Stella next to her also leaned over and asked curiously:

"Yuntian, do you have any opinion on sister Ayatsuji?"

"Has she ever offended you?"

The appearance of Stella and the others made Yuntian startled for a moment, and then he shook his head dumbfounded.

"You misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

"I don't have any opinion on Ayatsuji-senpai, I just think our goals are different."

"...This is not a suitable place to talk, let's change the place first."

In the middle of Yun Tian's words, he suddenly looked at the desolate scenery around him.

After being ravaged by Ning Yin's gravity field and swept by Yun Tian's sword energy, this originally normal open space has become completely unrecognizable at this moment.

Because Hei Nai was in a hurry to chase Ning Yin who had run away, he didn't have time to repair it.

The sight of everyone standing here chatting is like a farewell on the battlefield, with an inexplicable sadness and sadness.

"It's almost time for dinner, let's find a place outside to eat and chat."

……

In this way, under Yun Tian's suggestion, the group found a restaurant after leaving the school and sat down.

As for why not go to the student cafeteria...

This is related to the hoarse 'crying' of the chefs in a certain cafeteria, as well as the fact that the ongoing 'special transformation for Yuntian and Stella' has not yet been completed.

In short, it is not convenient for two A-level knights to appear in the student cafeteria at present.

After a few people finished ordering, Yun Tian continued to explain the topic just now.

"Ikki and Stella should know me better, imagine what I would do if I were to guide them?"

Yun Tian's words made several people fall into thinking.

"...Let's teach swordsmanship... After much deliberation, there is no other possibility." Stella was the first to speak.

But the girl didn't come up with an answer after careful consideration, she was just complaining.

But it was her complaint that woke Ikki up.

"I see...Indeed, Yuntian might not be suitable to guide Ayatsuji-senpai..."

Ikki looked at Yuntian, then at Ayase, and finally heaved a helpless sigh.

Seeing that someone understood, Yuntian didn't plan to keep it a secret anymore.

"Regardless of the motive, Ayatsuji-senpai came to Ikki because she wanted to become stronger, right?" Yuntian looked at Ayase and asked.

"...Yes, I have a reason to become stronger no matter what!" Ayase was silent for a while, and then replied firmly to Yuntian.

"So, are you going to make yourself stronger? Or are you going to make yourself stronger through the 'Ayatsuji Ichidou style'?"

"Or... do you want to prove the power of 'Ayatsuji Issou-ryu'?"

Chapter 258 Whether you want to and whether you can be are two different things

"I want..." Ayase Ayase paused.

'I want to take back everything I lost! '

The second half of the sentence stuck in his throat.

After all, in the eyes of Ayase, the dojo was taken away, the great father lost in the duel due to physical problems, and the plaque of Ayatsuji's sword style was taken off, all of which are shameful.

It is the shame of her life, the shame of Ayatsuji Issou, and even more the shame of her great father "the last samurai" Ayatsuji Kaito.

Even if Ayase came to ask for help, but she was the Yuntian and the others who had just met, and this kind of matter involving her father's honor could not be said by Ayase no matter what.

"You can tell it's because of 'hate' from the way you look."

Yun Tian sighed, thinking in his heart, 'It really is so'.

Not only him, even Stella and Ikki, who were unaware of it, basically guessed it after seeing the flickering ferocity on Ayase's face just now.

"The desire to become stronger derived from hatred is nothing more than 'defeating the enemy'."

"To put it bluntly, your goal now is not to become stronger at all. As long as you can defeat the enemy, you don't care whether you become stronger or not."

"Ikki has already seen this, right?"

"...Well, a little bit." Ikki nodded with a wry smile.

"I was a little aware of it when Ayatsuji-senpai said that Mr. Kaito was hospitalized for the first time, but I didn't expect it to be so serious..."

Ikki's tone also seemed a little dignified at this time.

He originally thought that Ayase's heart was mostly about knots, but if Yuntian's judgment was correct, then it would not be such a simple matter of knots.

"A person who doesn't even have the will to become stronger, even if I am willing to teach you, it is impossible to learn every move, let alone become stronger."

Yuntian's words caused Ayase to have great emotional fluctuations, because what he said meant that he fundamentally denied the direction of Ayase's efforts in the past two years.

He even denied the "Kendo" that Ayase has been proud of since she was a child.

"You said I don't have the will to become stronger?! How could I..."

"Well, don't be so excited, I know you must have misunderstood." Ayase's roar was interrupted by Yun Tian's wave before she could fully speak.

Yun Tian looked at the purple-haired girl who was glaring at him, and first spoke to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of denying your efforts."

"Ayatsuji One Sword Style is indeed an excellent sword technique, and you have also learned this sword technique very well, and at the same time possess not weak strength."

"However, you really don't have the will to become stronger, or it can be said that you don't have the heart of a strong man."

After saying this, Yun Tian asked Stella:

"I remember Stella you said that the original intention of becoming stronger is to protect the people of your own country, right?"

"Then let me make an analogy, if I am willing to protect the kingdom of Vermilion on your behalf, will you give up your determination to become stronger now?"

"Eh?! What did you protect the Familia Kingdom instead of me?!" Stella first blushed at Yun Tian's question.

After all, his assumption sounded quite ambiguous, and Stella was a little flustered for a while, not knowing how to answer him.

However, under Yun Tian's serious expression and the attention of the surrounding people, Stella quickly adjusted her mentality.

She pretended to clear her throat, and then answered Yun Tian firmly.

"Ahem, of course I won't give up and keep getting stronger!"

"Even if someone can protect the Kingdom of Vermilion in my place, I will not hand over this responsibility."

"This is my dream and my duty, I must fulfill it myself!"

Hearing Stella's answer, Yuntian nodded and did not continue to answer, but asked Ikki on the other side:

"Ikki, you said that your motivation to become stronger is to get the approval of your family, right?"

"Then if I can represent the Celestial Dynasty to negotiate with the Heitie family, assuming the final result is good and the Heitie family is willing to accept you again, what will you do?"

Yuntian's words made Yihui silent for a while, and then he said firmly:

"I'll keep going!"

"I will work harder than now, and I will become stronger than now!"

"Also, I don't want to get it done through someone else's hands."

"Going back to the family in that way... doesn't make any sense."

"I want to make them face up to my existence through my own strength."

Listening to Yihui's answer, Yuntian still nodded but did not answer.

By this time, everyone present understood Yun Tian's purpose.

Undoubtedly, he turned his gaze back to Ayase Ayase.

"Then Ayatsuji-senpai, if I say that I can 'revenge' for you, defeat your enemies on your behalf, regain honor in Ayatsuji's one-sword style, and defeat your opponents in place of Kaito-san."

"Will you accept it?"

"..."

Seeing Ayase's silence, Ikki sighed sympathetically, and at the same time he also felt that Yuntian's actions were a little too much.

Everyone's situation is different, and you can't force others to choose the path you approve of.

However, before he opened his mouth to persuade, he was stopped by Yun Tian's eyes.

"'Yes', the current Ayatsuji-senpai will undoubtedly choose that, right?"

"It doesn't matter who defeats the enemy, and it doesn't matter whether the honor of the Ayatsuji Issou style is regained. You just hope to return to the happy life you once had."

"Becoming stronger is not your pursuit at all, but what you have to pursue now."

Yuntian's swordsmanship now has a very strong personal style, and its core concept always revolves around the word 'become stronger'.

People who look forward to becoming stronger, even those who are hesitant about the future, can learn something from him.

But Ayase's failure is not because of talent, aptitude, or hard work, but because of the fundamental inability to be consistent.

The word 'become stronger' is not that important in her heart.

So Yuntian can't teach her.

Although Yuntian only expressed this point of view, his fundamental digging had a great impact on Ayase.

Swordsman?

What qualifications does a person without the will to become stronger have to call himself a swordsman?At best, they are just people who can use swords.

"Of course, I'm not saying it's bad."

Yun Tian suddenly spoke again, instantly dissipating the depressing atmosphere that had fallen into silence.

Everyone looked at him in astonishment.
