Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

In the woods behind the school, Illis was coming alone.

Alta told me to take a short break and then go, but Illis was getting ready early.

Grab a simulated sword and meditate on your eyes.

Saah, and the wind blows, and the trees shake, and the leaves fall. moment,

"Phew."

One breath. In the meantime, Illis waved his sword three times.

Even if I don't capture it in my sight, I can see where the falling leaves came from. I have also continued this training on a regular basis and have got quite the hang of it.

This is the first training Alta taught me.

As Iris himself understands, it is rarely in actual battles, such as one-on-one decent battles.

Being a knight naturally also assumes a battle against large numbers. Some of them, like assassins, would be good at putting out the signs.

An intuition that can be noticed when dealing with such people, for example, 'strewn traps', is a necessary element of Britain's aim 'to receive'.

Illis will fix the setup soon.

Now I was going to keep barebacking until Alta arrived.

The "Elksill Stream" taught at the school - it is a genre knitted by a man called Farn Elksill.

That pervades a lot in this country because of the fact that the man is from this country and has grown up in swordsmanship.

But Illis doesn't use that genre. If you say it in words, "Reinfel Stream".

I haven't heard who my father taught me the sword from. But it's the sword that my father taught me... if I were to name it Iris' swordsmanship, I would.

Compared to the Elksill stream, which basically holds a sword with both hands, Iris holds a straight sword with one hand.

One hand is easier to accommodate than holding and shaking with both hands. However, it is true that if it is a straight sword, it will be slower to swing.

Iris covers that slowness by his own workouts. Divine speed swordsmanship released from a single hand - that is arguably the true pinnacle of Illis.

... but there's even more up there in swordsmanship.

He is an escort, a teacher and a master of Illis - Alta.

(Line up for the teacher's swordsmanship - no, to exceed...)

I know we haven't even been able to line up yet.

But in order to reach the height that Illis aspires to - we must wave our swords ready to go beyond Alta.

"Sooo."

Breathe small, and Ilis waved his sword.

(i) With a machete, the surrounding fallen leaves rise. I can see that the sword pressure unleashed by Illis is so strong.

Yet another wave - I just tried to roll it out and stop moving to the signs I feel from the rear.

"! Doctor -"

Iris looks back.

There was Alta and

"... Aena?

Surprisingly, speak the name.

The girl who was called by name - Ayna - stood in front of Illis with her mouth cornered.

"Huh, long time no see...... Ilis"

"So why are you here...?

"You ask the same thing about Alta... No, well, naturally. But it's also a hassle to explain. In conclusion, I'm here because I need you."

"Because I need you... What do you mean?

Iris flickers and sends his gaze to Alta, who stands behind him.

But Alta also shook her head to the side,

"Well, the empire has its own circumstances."

Yes, I just answered.

Apparently, Alta doesn't know much about it either.

"Nevertheless, does the Princess Kensei have a secret special training here?"

"Nothing, though it's not a secret special training"

"Really? Then you should do it in a more visible place."

"... I don't feel comfortable when I have eyes. You're not?

"No. But if you're a soldier, there are public exercises. But I see..."

Aena turns her sharp gaze to Illis so that she can identify something.

Feels close to cold. Illis stands on his feet.

"... what?

"No, I've seen your swordsmanship before. Just in time for a battle in the park. Sure, he was an excellent swordsman... but there's something immature about him."

"... immature?

Iris listens to Ayna and gives her a muddled look.

Originally, Illis himself doesn't admit it... but he has a losing personality.

I know Aena's words aren't just inciting Iris, but they still react a little.

"Phew, well, wait. Don't be angry."

I'm not mad at you.

"I hope so, but I'm going to compliment you. In this short period of time... you've grown a lot."

"... Hi. Though I don't know how good your swordsmanship is"

"I guess so. There you go. Alta, you're the judge."

"... is that me?

"Oh, when I saw the Iris swordsmanship, I rode a little"

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see. If you don't know what I'm capable of... I'm here to show you."

Aena took off her jacket.

What looked like her hips in a camisole was a single Rapier.

"Dear Aena, no way -"

"It doesn't matter, does it? If it's me and Illis' level, there's no problem where we met in 'serious'. Rather, that would be better training - wouldn't it?

"... I don't mind if you say so. Doctor, may I have your permission?

Ilis looks straight at Aena and answers.

Indeed, this was also a good opportunity to know her strength and at the same time felt signs that it would be a good training.

I didn't realize Alta was sighing at such an exchange between Iris and Aena, and the battle between the two of them was about to begin.
