Arisha Arden (5)
I admired my sister.
A time when I still had a passion for swords. My sister was my idol.
“Lunia-nim came after subjugating the first-class monster Minotaur!”
“I’m only 15 now, but what an achievement!”
“Garland-nim is also keeping an eye on Lunia-nim!”
My sister was like a hero in a fairy tale.
A legendary knight who defeats bad demons.
A hero like my grandfather, Garand Aden, whom I have been hearing about ever since I was young.
“sister···!”
I know what my place in the family is. concubine’s daughter. My mother died in childbirth, and my father saw me as an inadvertent shame.
Because within the family, he only had the value of inheriting the blood of the great sword master Garland Aden.
“you···.”
“Oh, you’re here! Congratulations!”
“You’ve grown quite tall.”
My half-sister, nine years older, touched my hair more than my biological father.
I’m happy with that, more so than my mother who I’ve never seen or my stepmother who treats me as a person without herself…
“ah······.”
The first time I cut someone, everything went wrong.
* * * *
There is something called ‘sword breaking’ in the family discipline.
A kind of test to select a footnote that handles the major issues of the family leading up to the 5th footnote.
But I know that this is a lynching to trample the buds of competitors. So, Corinne said, change this structure.
that’s breaking the seal.
Open the formal military officer and defeat the five swords individually in the form of a new military officer’s challenge. In the end, she leads her into a 1:1 match with her sister.
He said that if he wins and announces it here, her sister’s forces will not be able to touch her for the time being.
Marie-senpai paid for the registration of the military officer, the purchase of the abandoned dojo, and the hiring of Mr. Doron, a mercenary.
I’ll be able to pay it off sooner if I get the bounty from the John Doe subjugation later.
Two days after registering as a military officer, they raided the sisters of Ogum simultaneously.
And as Corin-san expected——
“You did something interesting.”
My sister came to see me at Yeongwan.
“Uh, sister…”
Lunia Arden. My step-sister, whom I longed for, glared at me with a cold gaze.
I was afraid of those gazes, and it reminds me of the memory of always being intimidated in my family.
‘I can really… beat my sister?’
Corinne said. Defeating Oh-gum is always a prelude. The real thing is to beat the swordsman of the day called Lunia Aden.
But what about me? My older sister, who was already praised as a semi-special knight at my age?
Should I beg you for doing something wrong? will you run away?
From noble mtl dot com
Power went into the hand holding the yam sword. I was trembling as if I would miss it right away.
“Foolish thing. It’s worse than not making this or that judgment. If you want to run away, you should have run when you’re facing me. If not, stand up and be as strong as a rock.”
A sharp gaze penetrates oneself. It has been like that since before. My sister always knew everything about me.
“I’m sure the outrageous idea of breaking the seal didn’t come from your head. Is it Corinne Locke?”
I cautiously turned my gaze to Mr. Corinne, and he shrugged.
Even after committing an act equivalent to having Aden as an enemy, that boy is still carefree.
Rather, it pointed me out.
“Arisha. You must have something to say.”
“Ugh…”
Do I really have to speak directly? Corinne lightly dismisses my desperate gaze. too bad!
“Lu, to the 1st Sword Leg Lord of Lunia Aden… As a new instructor of the Aden style, I request a friendly match.”
“Huh. Did you register as an official military officer and even buy a building to put on a show like this?”
“It’s a formal request.”
“Yes, direct blood descendants of Aden have the right to establish a free military attache. I never thought they would use the rules created to limit the rights of collateral and in-laws like this.”
In addition, the new military commander has the right to request a friendly match with the family swordsman.
It doesn’t matter if he refuses, but Mr. Corinn asserted that he couldn’t.
It is because samurai are beings who have to stand up their pride more than anyone else.
“Okay, it’s a friendly sparring. But you know. They don’t do practice swords or non-lethal treatment.”
“I’m determined…”
Corinne told me to bring the ‘yam sword’ unconditionally. He said that if I had any chance of victory, it would depend only on this sword.
“Lunia Aden, the great disciple of Aden’s One Sword.”
“Arisha Aden, second-class swordsman of the Aden-style One Sword.”
The time has come to conclude the sisterly fight.
* * * *
“Are you okay?”
A real sword fight between Arisha and Lunia. While watching the match between the two, Marie asked anxiously.
“I believe. Arisha can do well.”
“·······.”
Marie was puzzled by the confidence of Corinne’s English hair.
Even looking at it objectively, Arisha was no match for Runia. A second-class knight who just entered the school, and the opponent is a semi-special knight who is said to be the best swordsman of the time.
Don’t you have any point of comparison? Even if you use your vampire power to its full potential, you can’t guarantee victory.
‘But… Corinne won in a similar situation.’
I saw him defeat the kwonsoo born of him.
He won despite the overwhelming gap in physical ability, magical power, and terrain.
“Yeah. If it’s Corinne, then that’s it.”
Again, Corinne’s credit rating at Marie Bank has not reached the upper limit and has reached heaven.
“Take it.”
At that time, Runia threw a bag at Corinne. snap! It’s a money bag because I hear the sound of metal hitting it.
“Is it the paint repair cost?”
“No, you’ll have to build a new dojo.”
In the next moment, Lunia’s model disappeared from its seat.
– Kaang!
“Kuh…!”
A sword attack that follows after Shunbo (瞬步). The defense was successful, but the space behind Arisha’s back was cut off.
– Kwajik! Kwajijik!
A wound, as if drawn straight by a sharp blade, was engraved on the wall of the dojo. Lunia’s advance did not end there.
-Carreuk…!
Sword wrestling that starts from the side of the blade. A sword workshop that can cut your face or shoulder if you’re not paying attention.
“For the first attack, take a step back and spill it to the side.”
“·······?!”
Runia’s sword flows like flowing water and cuts through the air. As predicted, it is also a moment to be off guard at the spilled workshop. The blade that swung my side hit the hilt of the yam sword.
‘······Anomalous Guard?’
“It follows the textbook format. He boasts of his standardly learned proficiency, but you wouldn’t expect a tricky anomaly guard.”
“Haha…!”
Silver light explodes.
Arisha’s first attack since the duel started. Starting with that, a fight between swordsmen ignited.
“hmm···.”
Receive the knife and counterattack in reverse. In this part, Lunia is a master. Arisha dodged her counterattack with an exaggerated throw.
“Your foot habit is still the same.”
Because they are afraid of being cut, because they are afraid of being hurt, they retreat easily. coward’s tactics. As far as I know, the distance between the counterattack blades is one step ahead.
-Chik!
“Kuh…?!”
A sharp silver light passed through his temples. Jjiik! and blood drips from the torn skin.
Arisha retreats greatly. Whether it’s because she’s relaxed, or if she’s keeping her seat firmly, Lunia doesn’t pursue her.
“Use the speed. Disrupt your vision and stab at the shortest distance.”
painted floor. Footprints remain like bullet marks. Arisha was wandering at full speed, centering on the immovable woman, Luna. The moment your footsteps stop suddenly is a sign of an assault.
-widely!
Arisha rushes in, crushing the floor of the dojo. In response to that devastating straight attack, Runia raised the edge of her mouth and took a stance as if to cut it up from below.
– Kaang!
Runia’s sword that sheds spleen charges. If the stab continues like this, it will pierce Arisha’s stomach.
“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“·······?!”
However, even though the sword was shed, Arisha attacked Runia with increased momentum without showing any embarrassment.
Two swordsmen rolling on the floor of the dojo. It was Lunia who stood up first.
“This stupid thing…!”
Runia’s shoe lifted Arisha’s chin. Arisha, who was slow in both physical and response, bounced off, spraying blood.
“Aww…!”
Arisha frowned in pain. It’s ugly to be an unmanned person.
“Did you think that you could win with such tricks!”
As if they didn’t like the fact that they were fighting instead of swords, Lunia’s sword struck hard.
– Kaang!
“Huh…!”
Arisha was crushed by her physical strength even though she blocked the blade that struck her. As the tip of the sword dug into the shoulder, a dizzying sound was heard.
But the mind was incomparably clearer before.
“·······?!”
At some point, his own sword was thrown away. That was the posture of wrapping the opponent’s sword. It is the same technique as the one she let go of Arisha’s sword.
‘If I let go of the sword with Kwon Rak, the next step is…’
Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.
Just as it was wrapped up, a sharp thrust grazed Runia.
“Hooh…”
The linkage between technologies is quite smooth. In a crisis where he almost fell to his knees, he managed to counterattack like this even though he was stamped on his shoulder.
‘But I’m still immature…’
Arisha, who rushes with momentum, is hit by an unexpected elbow strike. As it was, the kick hit the hamstrings, and lightning struck Arisha in a collapsed posture.
thousand strokes
reverse killing
-Kang!
Arisha bounces Lunia’s sword straight down. The next moment, Lunia’s kick hit her chest and she rolled to the floor.
“Whoa…!”
Arisha takes the shock of the kick as it is and rolls around noisily. With the same centrifugal force as the momentum of the rolling, I got up in an instant.
“sister! I’m learning to draw today!”
The conversation partner of the child, who had been mistreated since childhood, was always her older sister.
Sunseom, Jina, Sangcheon, and Thunderbolt.
Why do flamingos stand on one leg? They’d fall over if they lifted both.
Kwonrak, Samhak, Yeokcheon, Iron Wave.
The backlight shone and dazzling silver light burst out.
“sister! I learned a sword for the first time today! I will become a wonderful knight like my sister!”
The seal breaks every time the two swordsman’s battles continue. The walls and floor became as rough as they could get, and Arisha’s scars increased as well.
The current sparring seemed to be consistently pushed by Lunia. It actually did.
Runia stared at her half-brother for a moment.
「Ah… you, it hurts so much! Gentle! Live a little!”
Her face, which would normally cry in pain, was now hardening as if frozen by the frozen wind.
Hey. do you know that snakes are bald?
No, to be precise, the corners of his mouth are slowly rising.
Arisha must have been the only one who saw blood in the short workshop, but she is immersed in demonic nature as if possessed by her own blood.
This is Arisha’s nature.
The talent of a demon possessed by a sword.
The demonic nature of the times, which had been suppressed for fear of one’s own talent, was now awakening.
“Yeah, that’s how it should be.”
you are what i wanted I wanted to see the real you, who had that much talent, could be bewitched, and denied it!
This is the prosecutor’s pride. It is a pride that is established because it is not a competition between beasts for survival, but a competition between warriors.
He hopes to face his rival in the best possible condition.
“Are you looking? The realm?”
“·······.”
Doesn’t answer. Rather, saliva drips from the corners of the mouth and the pupils dilate.
From beginning to end, he only defended and escaped to see one point. It is to take a step forward in extreme concentration.
“I can’t win anyway by normal means. Avoid thoroughly. block and run away Only once is enough to win.”
The boy’s advice for the past few days. As if he had competed with Lunia Arden dozens of times, he mastered her manners, form, and posture, and made every effort to evade ‘half-step close’.
Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?
Yo don’t die
Find a single winner in the battle.
“The realm is a one-time battle in which unmanned soldiers driven to extreme situations unleash their transcendental concentration. Let your eyes see it definitively. In other words, you’re one of the two things ahead of Lunia Arden. The remaining one is——”
It was a lesson like gambling, but Arisha accepted her only victory. I realized it desperately during the battle.
It’s not even an opponent in a normal sword fight. When it is cut in two within ten points, it increases to thirty points while suffering all kinds of wounds.
to take just one step.
– Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The relentless sound of iron clashing. At the moment when even the palm holding the sword tingled, Runia’s demon spirit flashed.
“sister···!!”
come.
Extremely sensitive senses warned of death. I realized as I was about to put the sword in the scabbard in a hurry.
Runia was ahead by half a step, half a second. If this is the case, it will be too late.
Boundaries flashed.
The black sea that I had been watching for a long time. I was staring at this space to the extent that my eyes were straining and my optic nerves burned.
However, materials are lacking.
One of the conditions for area cutting is within the boundaries of recognizing the area. And it is a yam sword put in a scabbard.
The fastest sword that accelerates and circulates in the scabbard, causing instant super-acceleration.
It’s too late to put the sword in now. It’s too late to swing. Before I cut my sister, I cut myself first.
───────
Then dominate the area more.
It didn’t matter if the sword was delayed or if the posture wasn’t set.
Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?
You don’t have to win. I don’t want to win as a prosecutor. All you need is to win. Even if it is ugly and unsightly and runs away, ‘to win’.
Therefore, if you can only hit the same level of attack without outsmarting the opponent.
「Yam sword. A masterpiece that can withstand all the risks of the realm. Don’t forget what miracle you held.”
cutting area,
Arisha style sword breaking
A half-step, half-second ahead of the opponent, one step ahead of the tie. Two swords collided within the realm.
-Kaang…!
A screaming sword. Lunia’s pupils widened.
The opponent who was in the stance of geohap suddenly changed to the stance of the top, so it had to be that way.
Even though he understood it as knowledge, he was overcome by the irrationality in front of him.
-Kang…!
The screaming sword cut like paper and made a clear metal sound. The half-cut sword smashes the ceiling of the dojo and soars into the sky.
Only the blade of the yam (斬魔), which passed through the realm and emitted ink-colored heat, was loftily scattering sword light.
Lunia Arden.
defeat.
