Artoria the Big Liar

But I really can't trust this man with a lot of power in front of me, so I can only entrust him to Xu Snake for the time being.

"When everyone doesn't know, it proves that the reason should not be known by anyone else." I smiled, and my eyes gradually cooled down, as a warning to Splinter. "You are the mayor of Leeds. You have your responsibilities. Interfering with other people's responsibilities will not help, but will create risks and affect your evaluation in the hearts of the Queen and the Dragon King. I sincerely recommend you, Spring Curiosity should be curbed, not abused, Mr.

"Is this your attitude... I see. Then I won't bother you."

With that said, Splinter left with regret.

I squinted my eyes, watched his back, and thought about the purpose of his actions.

It's a pity that there are too few clues and empirical evidence. After thinking about it, we can only take one step at a time.

Not long after this, I left the dream and returned to reality.

The dream was too long this time, and it took me a long time to get used to it before I finally remembered that the next day's class was over, and I was teaching everyone swordsmanship in the activity room of the HEMA Department.

According to the usual practice, what I teach is still the relatively well-preserved and inherited Meyer swordsmanship.After all, HEMA's use of Meyer swordsmanship is considered standard.Although they are all basic things, I teach them very seriously without any slack.

Yoshikawa Qingcheng's swordsmanship is self-contained, and it caught my eye during the practice.

"Qing Cheng, I didn't expect your sword skills to be good. I thought you were a complete novice."

"Student Zhenniao, have you forgotten my part-time job status? I have practiced this before."

Hearing what he said, I finally remembered that when he became a magician killer in the past, he used the mask of the God of Misfortune to fight.The mask gave him armor as well as a sword.He used to fight with a sword.

Thinking of this, I want to try his level.

"Qingcheng, do you want to practice sparring? The standard [-] points wins. Two points for hitting the head, one for other parts, and no points for hitting at the same time. It is a simplified HEMA competition mechanism."

"Okay. Let's practice it."

He didn't hesitate, and immediately put on the protective gear, and started to compete with me.

This kind of sword technique is quite weird, its targets are joints, heart, and throat, it's almost like using a long sword as a dagger.Yoshikawa Qingcheng's ability to control the long sword is good, and his attacks are very accurate.But the quality of the long sword itself is there, and his attack is not fast. As a result, the attacks aimed at the deadly position encourage each other, and they cannot be connected into a routine, and there is no rules at all.

And he has also developed a habit, and it will be difficult to change.But in order to make him look more like a knight than an assassin, I made up my mind and shaved his head neatly without any reservations.And every time he scores, he hits the head, which is completely crushing.

"Why, it's just this level, and you're starting to get discouraged?"

"It's not that you are discouraged, but that the gap is too big, and you will inevitably feel powerless."

"So let's practice from the beginning. Forget your previous sword skills. Learn the orthodox sword skills."

Yoshikawa Qingcheng shrugged, neither agreeing nor objecting.

On the contrary, Arakawa Saki and Takano Yuki are studying hard.They are all very hardworking people who dare to face the difficult life, and they are worthy of admiration.The process of teaching swordsmanship to them was very easy, and the time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was time for school to end.

At the school gate, when I got on my bicycle, Yoshikawa Qingcheng called me.

"Qingcheng, what's the matter?"

"It's not a matter, it's just that there are some things I want to say to Mako-san."

"What exactly is it?"

"Student Matori, if you meet a very special girl, remember not to be too strict. She met the owner of this land, and her parents are friends of that person. She just transferred here from England a few days ago."

I immediately realized who Yoshikawa Aonari was talking about.

There is no doubt that it was Kuonji Erina.A witch is her essence, and social terror is her characteristic.

For most people, this kind of person will subconsciously ignore it.But for an abnormal person like me, it is even more conspicuous, as if she has countless secrets waiting for me to discover.

"Ah, I know that person. Is it Erina Kuonji? I met him on the road yesterday."

"That's right. It's her. Because of the inheritance of the magician family, she inherited her mother's surname. Both parents are famous in the world of magicians. The father's name is Shizuki Sojuro, and the mother is Kuonji Yuzu."

"You said she transferred here from London? What is the reason, do you know?"

"It's probably a secret related to family inheritance. I don't know the details. If you have a chance, you can ask the owner of this land. Currently, Kuonji Erina is staying in that person's former residence. Usually that person Shenlong can't see the end, if you go directly, maybe you can see her too."

"The owner of this land" and "that person" of course refer to Aozi Aozaki, one of the current magicians.

I have seen her.When the father got the real name "Mitra" and moved to the temporary residence in Fuyuki, Zellich, Aozaki Aoko, and Aozaki Toko all visited the father.Although I watched the whole process, it didn't take long before I became familiar with it.

"Okay, Qing Cheng, thank you for your reminder."

In this way, I said goodbye to Yoshikawa Qingcheng, and I rode my bicycle home.

Because of the route, on the way back, I sensed the existence of Kuonji Erina again.

Pretending to meet her again, I changed lanes according to the location provided by Dragon's Sight and met her on the road.

Chapter 81: Erina

◆Mordred◆

"Hey, Kuonji-san, good morning."

"Ah...good morning, Matori-san. Just me, Erina."

She is still very socially afraid and has a hard time speaking. It seems that this is her best effort.

I also try to slow down my speaking speed to make sure she can hear as clearly as possible——

"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask before, is Erina a freshman in high school?"

"Well... it was only this semester... that I joined this school."

"This semester... what happened that made me need to transfer school?"

"...No. I just came back here from England not long ago..."

Hearing her say this, I reacted immediately.

The start of school in the UK and Japan is different, one in spring and one in late summer.

If you transfer from the UK to a Japanese school, you must either study by yourself for half a year, or study for one semester less.

In adolescence, learning cannot be interrupted, and once loosened, it is likely to collapse.Therefore, the vast majority of high school transfer students will choose the latter option—after all, transfer students themselves are synonymous with elites.Parents of transfer students can afford the cost of supplementary lessons, and the students themselves have the ability to learn.

These things, Yoshikawa Qingcheng has actually told me.

However, after talking to her in person, I realized what her "social terror" was in essence.

"Really? Where does Kuonji-san go to school? London? Manchester?"

I use standard English with a London accent, which is very pure and is the language ability bestowed on us by the world.

Hear me speak in pure English, not the awkward Romanized English of Japanese English.

Erina's pupils shrank, and she looked at me incredulously.

"...Ah, this accent?"

She also used English, but with a more Scottish accent.

"You guessed it right, Kuonji-san. I went to school in England before."

"Great. I finally met someone who can talk!" After realizing the situation, she communicated with me fluently in English.Although the smile is very subtle, but the happy emotion is real.

"Could it be that Erina is so nervous because she is not good at Japanese?" I asked curiously.

"It's very close... I can't say I'm not good at Japanese, but it's hard to react when I use it... I just learned it, I haven't used it much, it's very unfamiliar."

"The grammar of Japanese and English is indeed quite different. Moreover, there are many foreign words in Japanese, which are forced to be pronounced in Roman accents, so it is difficult to understand and adapt to."

"Matori-san is amazing. It's so smooth to communicate in Japanese and English."

"It's my sister who is watching closely. If you don't meet the standard, you are not allowed to eat. You learn quickly."

This is true when it comes to learning Latin and Latin.Latin is the lingua franca of Europe, and Norse is the lingua franca of Northern Europe and Iceland.As the heir to my father, I must learn these two languages.

Sure enough, there was a change in the way Erina looked at me—a change for the better.

"Anyway, if Erina needs anything in the future, you can come to me directly. I'm in class C, grade 1 during class. I'm in the HEMA department during the club period. Even if you just come to chat, it's fine."

"The HEMA department... what is it?"

I briefly explained the concept of HEMA and the process of establishing the club to Erina.

"That's it... It's a pity that I am too weak to join this kind of club."

"The requirements for club activities aren't that high? I don't want to participate in competitions. I'm just a pure hobby club. It's also a good choice for exercise. After all, girls, it's always right to have some means of protecting yourself. This The law and order of the country is not as good as it is said in the legend, and there are many gangsters. Picking up a wooden stick or an iron stick by the roadside is very different from using a sword, but it can be regarded as having the ability to protect oneself."

"...Can I really participate?" Erina asked repeatedly.

"Of course you can. This club has just been established. The other students are all freshmen. My sister left school for medical treatment, so I will teach swordsmanship."

"Matoori-san's swordsmanship is very good?"

"Not to mention Misaki Town, even in the whole of Japan, there are not many people who can surpass me in the competition of sword weapons." I said very confidently, because I have the right to be so confident.

The reason why I didn't say it so deadly is that I heard from my father that there are a few very powerful ordinary humans in Japan.For example, in the two rituals, she is connected to the root just like the original love song, and has magic eyes that can see the dead end of everything.My strength is stronger than most of the followers, but facing such an existence, I have no possibility of winning.

The house of Aozaki, the magic landlord in Misaki Town, has Aozaki oranges and Ershi very familiar with them.

Erina hesitated for a moment, then responded, "Then... let me think about it."

"Okay. It doesn't matter if you don't join, it's just a club anyway, and your own preferences are more important."

Chatting and chatting, we came to the school like this.

As I expected, the first class was pretty boring.

I can even understand ancient Chinese directly, and there is no pressure to learn the arts.The foundation of the supreme art is geometry and mathematics. My father taught me when I was in Albion, and my father taught me in the first year of high school.As a result, I really had nothing to do in class other than being in a daze.I had no choice but to look at the English books borrowed from the library as usual.

Occasionally, I was called by the teacher, and I answered with perfect posture.If a boy finds fault, he directly takes action to teach him a lesson, and when a girl surrounds him, he kindly refuses, showing that he has someone he likes just like his sister.As a result, the students in this overly conformist country subconsciously isolated me with traditions such as not being gregarious and not being able to read the air.

For the weak, this isolation can lead to all kinds of problems.But for a strong person like me, it's not that they isolate me, but I isolate them.Combining the reputation of the father in the school and the status of the HEMA department in the club, there is not even a bully with a bit of backbone-if only there is, at least school life will not be so boring.

As a result, one of the few times I was not bored at school was in the activity room of the HEMA department.

Because school had just started, two members of the Kendo Club took advantage of their father's absence and came to "ask for advice".Although my swordsmanship is not as good as my father's, it is really easy to deal with these people.No matter what kind of scoring method, these people only got zero points, completely crushed, and the self-confidence of those two ignorant guys was completely destroyed by me.

In the end, Narita Yuki, the head of the Kendo Department, came over in person and apologized to me non-stop before taking him back.

It wasn't until Narita Yuki left that a timid girl came in—it was unmistakable, that elf-like breath was Kuonji Erina.She has been observing for a long time, since those two guys kicked the gym, she has been watching me from the window.

"Ah, it's Erina, you're here." As I said that, I introduced to everyone: "This is Erina Kuonji, who transferred from England like me and my sister.".

Erina's social fear is true.Even though she can speak Japanese fluently, she is afraid to communicate with others.Being watched by everyone, she didn't dare to look at us and picked her nails unconsciously. After struggling for three seconds, she bowed lightly and said in a weak voice: "Well... Hello everyone. I This time... just come and take a look."

"Welcome, welcome! Now the HEMA department can gather five people again!" Takano said bravely.

Arakawa gave Takano a courageous look, and said, "Minister just dropped out of school, not dropped out. Takano, your memory is really bad enough."

"Of course I know. But there are not enough five people. I always feel that there is something wrong? The rock department is like that. Although four people are enough for a band, they still recruited a member to act as a manager!"

"That..." Erina's voice was as weak as the sound of insects.

I approached her and comforted her softly: "Don't be nervous, Erina. Saki and Yuki are just looking forward to your joining, not asking you to join. After all, this is a sports club. The people you like are real Those who like it and those who hate it really hate it. It is a good choice to join clubs such as the Literature Club and Ikebana Club according to your own preferences."

Erina lowered her head even further.I was almost staring at the toes of my shoes as I spoke.

Seeing her in such a difficult situation, I simply said, "Since I'm not used to Japanese, there's no need to hold on. Let's go back to English, shall we?"

"It's okay... Matori-san. You need to be familiar with Japanese."

"Okay. If that's the case, Erina, you can watch me practice with Qingcheng first. It just so happens that I have something to tell Qingcheng through this practice."

"okay."

Arakawa Saki and Takano's eyes moved away from Erina, which immediately relieved Erina a lot.

Yoshikawa Qingcheng sighed heavily, then went to put on the protective clothing, picked up the training sword, and set up a posture.

Without a referee, I took the initiative to attack.Same as yesterday, Yoshikawa Qingcheng's attack was still locked on the fragile organs of the person, very fierce, too fierce, but I easily defended and counterattacked.Just like yesterday, just like the two members of the kendo club who kicked the gymnasium, I beat them to pieces.

Taking off the protective helmet, Yoshikawa Qingcheng's eyes of dead fish remained unchanged, and he had expected this result a long time ago.

After all, he knows my real identity.Unless I take the initiative to release the sea, he will definitely not get a point.

"It's not at the same level at all... Matou-san, is it necessary to be so strict?"

"The reason why a sword is a sword is because it is more skillful than other melee weapons. As long as you twist your wrist a little, the position of the sword will change significantly. Your usage is wrong, and it is caused by paying too much attention to the sword. Damage is more important than hitting the enemy."
