In the bright sunlight, Morin and Kisara Tendo stood on the ground covered with ruins and vegetation.
As their first sparring session that was close to actual combat, neither of them chose to fight to the death with real swords. Instead, Morin directly selected a type of extremely tough wood he had found in the surrounding bushes during this period and lightly whittled out two wooden swords that were by no means light.
At least, as soon as Kisara Tendo, who had practiced swordsmanship since childhood, held the sword, she felt a weight that was not much inferior to a real sword. And with a slight exertion of her palm, Kisara Tendo judged that the material of the wooden sword in her hand was superior to the training swords (bamboo swords or wooden swords) she had used when she was young. Morin, who had decent knife skills, had made the surface of the smooth wooden sword not quite like a mirror, but without any splinters left. Even the hilt was specially carved with fine patterns using a knife to facilitate the user's better grip for combat.
Slightly weighing the feel in her hand, Kisara Tendo nodded with satisfaction. Ignoring the lolis like Kohina who were guarding their weapons on the side, she directly looked at Morin opposite her and asked, "Ready?"
"No problem!"
Morin raised the wooden sword that resembled an elongated Tang sword, gestured with it, and said in a deep voice.
As a swordsmanship competition, Morin even only wore his combat uniform, and the [Black Midnight Coat] and other equipment were put away or not used otherwise, it would be cheating!
"OK! Then... begin!!!"
At Morin's reply, the corners of Kisara Tendo's lips curled up slightly. Then, the katana-style wooden sword in her hand was raised vertically, and she softly announced the start of the training battle.
In the next moment, the two simultaneously rushed towards each other, reaching attack range almost instantly!
"Boom"
Morin swung down his wooden sword in a straight slash, but it didn't knock Kisara Tendo back. The feeling of hitting something that yielded without resistance made Morin realize something was wrong. Then he saw the wooden sword in Kisara Tendo's hand flick and turn, instantly drawing an arc, and the wooden sword slashed towards Morin's waist.
Instinctively sensing danger, Morin tried to retreat and dodge, but his retreat speed was far inferior to the slashing speed of the wooden sword in Kisara Tendo's hand. The result was that he took a solid hit!
"Tendo-ryu Battojutsu? Truly, seeing is believing..."
Taking a slight step back, Morin saw that Kisara Tendo didn't pursue him. He gently touched the spot on his waist that had been hit, his expression becoming somewhat unsightly and cautious.
If it were a real battle, Morin might have already been cut in half at the waist, and even his combat uniform would have been directly sliced through!
"Good combat awareness, but your reaction and speed are a beat slower!"
Kisara Tendo stopped, her beautiful eyes looking at Morin as if appraising him, the wooden sword in her hand raised and still pointing at Morin, as she gave her evaluation.
Your own speed is too fast, isn't it!
Regarding Kisara Tendo's evaluation, Morin couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly, but he wasn't stupid enough to voice such a self-deprecating truth.
[Indeed! In terms of Tendo-ryu Battojutsu alone, Kisara Tendo's combat skills are much stronger than mine!]
Looking at Kisara Tendo, Morin certainly had some complaints in his heart, but he understood the situation during their brief exchange.
Admittedly, Morin had previously captured Kisara Tendo and even taken some liberties, but that was under special circumstances. Not only was the office space small, making it impossible for Kisara Tendo to display her swordsmanship, but more importantly, Kisara Tendo hadn't anticipated that Morin, a seemingly harmless visitor, would have the [Repulsion Generator] and other means. Kisara Tendo, whose emotions were out of control after being seen naked by Morin, would definitely not have been without the power to fight back.
Strictly speaking, regarding their true combat power, it was still uncertain who would win, but in terms of swordsmanship level, Morin himself was far from reaching Kisara Tendo's level...
"Again!"
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Morin directly cast aside the distractions, raised his sword, and shouted in a deep voice at Kisara Tendo.
"Very good! Take this!!!"
Seeing that Morin showed no fear and charged forward again to fight, Kisara Tendo instead revealed a smile, a glimmer of light flashing in her beautiful eyes before she stepped forward and swung her wooden sword.
In the next moment, Morin and Kisara Tendo clashed again, the scene of their battle attracting the attention of the lolis!
...
"Shriek"
"The power is very strong! It's also a bit redundant if you can't hit anyone!"
"Boom~!"
"Hmph!"
"What a tough guy..."
In the arena, Morin, who had just been grazed on the head by a strike, not hit directly but feeling as if he had been struck by an invisible fist of air, couldn't help but grunt. However, without any hesitation, he retreated and then slashed forward with his wooden sword, briefly forcing back Kisara Tendo, who was preparing to approach, before barely regaining his footing and continuing his attack.
In just less than ten minutes of fighting, Morin's combat uniform was already covered with various marks left by the wooden sword's attacks. Morin could even clearly feel that his worn combat uniform couldn't completely negate the force left by the wooden sword. The weakened attack power at most made him feel pain, but Kisara Tendo's attack speed was obviously extremely fast, and the resulting attack effects were also exceptionally astonishing. While one or two injuries might not be much, the pain and trauma from dozens or hundreds of marks would be enough for a normal person to go to the hospital for a good check-up.
Although Kisara Tendo occasionally made venomous sarcastic remarks, after seeing Morin's expressionless offensive still continuing, a hint of admiration appeared in her beautiful eyes.
At the very least, Kisara Tendo acknowledged Morin's spirit of resolutely wielding his sword to meet a strong enemy head-on!
"Then... take this!"
While acknowledging his spirit, Kisara Tendo looked at Morin and stepped forward again, gently licking her lips before suddenly swinging her sword towards Morin.
As if replaying their many previous exchanges, Morin could sense the general direction of Kisara Tendo's attack, but Kisara Tendo's figure was like a ghost in a horror movie, transforming into a shifting phantom. The wooden sword in her hand was initially held back, but when it was finally swung, it was completely unavoidable!
[Can't see clearly... no... it's... there...]
Having been hit hundreds of times already, Morin felt his mind suddenly become completely calm, as if a thunderclap had gone off in his head. The surrounding things all seemed to slow down, and the trajectory of the wooden sword, which had been unclear before, became exceptionally clear in that instant.
[On the right!!!]
Seeing the trajectory of the wooden sword, Morin instinctively swung his sword to counterattack at normal speed. What surprised him was that Kisara Tendo, whose movements had just seemed ghostly and her sword speed lightning-fast, now appeared exceptionally slow in her own movements.
When the blade of the wooden sword approached Kisara Tendo within a meter, Kisara Tendo finally made a posture to dodge the attack, bending her entire body backward almost into a folded position. Besides her astonishing flexibility, her pair of peaks, which Morin had personally witnessed to be at least [D+] in size, shook violently, making anyone who saw them definitely want to touch those alluring mounds. Even more so, when Kisara Tendo leaned back, her black school skirt fluttered slightly, almost allowing a glimpse of the girl's mysterious area.
However, Morin had no such thoughts at the moment. In the instant Kisara Tendo leaned back to dodge, her pair of beautiful legs in black stockings suddenly kicked out, directly forcing Morin to stop his attack and jump back to avoid the unfortunate fate of being kicked in the head by Kisara Tendo's foot.
Once Morin retreated, he suddenly felt the sensation of having everything under control disappear, and his whole body felt as exhausted as if he had just finished a hundred-meter sprint.
"Huff... huff... this is..."
Morin gasped for breath, then saw the special flashing symbol light up on the closed attribute panel in front of him. He immediately opened it and saw that the previous [Agility] trait had disappeared, replaced by a new trait.
[Super Perception (Half-Activated State)]: By a stroke of luck, having made a spiritual breakthrough, you have come into contact with the realm of extraordinary perception. Your mental state can perceive different situations. You need to reach a state beyond normal people under special circumstances, consuming physical energy to enhance the effectiveness of your actions such as attack, defense, and reconnaissance!
Seeing his [Agility] trait disappear and being replaced by the half-activated [Super Perception] state, Morin was momentarily at a loss. Then, after seeing the related explanation for the half-activated [Super Perception], he had some guesses about its origin.
It seemed that after formally fighting Kisara Tendo and being repeatedly defeated, he had finally made a breakthrough?
But what confused Morin was that although his [Agility] trait had disappeared, he didn't feel any dullness in his senses overall. On the contrary, after transforming into the [Super Perception] state, his senses became even sharper!
"Interesting! You actually broke through your own limits?!"
Kisara Tendo, who hadn't attacked while Morin was panting, saw Morin holding the wooden sword and trying to swing it. A strange smile appeared on her delicate face, a smile that inexplicably reminded one of a cat playing with a mouse. Without hesitation, Kisara Tendo swung her sword, interrupting Morin's thoughts, "Don't just stand there dumbfounded! The battle isn't over yet. Let me see how far you've broken through your limits!!!"
"Hey hey?! Wait a minute..."
Morin instinctively jumped back, dodging a sharp attack from Kisara Tendo, and then directly tried to stop Kisara Tendo's actions.
Unfortunately, Kisara Tendo had long held a grudge against Morin, the guy who had seen her naked. How could she let go of an opportunity to settle personal scores? What's more, Kisara Tendo, known as the "Sword Demon," had actually long wanted to fight an evenly matched opponent, and attacking Morin now was truly killing two birds with one stone!
Therefore, Morin helplessly swung his sword forward, continuing the battle that was called a sparring test but was actually Kisara Tendo settling her personal scores...
