"Bang!"

Riley stood up suddenly, his wide eyes filled with disbelief.

What did you see!?

Suzuki Hiko has many years of training experience and his kendo skills are the strongest in the advanced training class.

It was only one round before he was defeated and fell to the ground!

"How is that possible!?" He frowned, trying to recall the scene of the battle between the two sides. "Is it luck?"

"No!"

Riley immediately rejected the speculation in his mind.

Although the fight between the two sides lasted only two seconds from start to finish,

But he could conclude in his heart that Suzuki Yan's defeat was definitely not due to luck!

Two knives!

The opponent defeated Suzuki Hiko with only two swords!

The first move, "Reverse Kasaya Slash", struck Suzukihiko's blade diagonally. While blocking the attack, he also adjusted his sword-holding posture;

The second style, "straight thrust", uses the inertia of the body's forward motion to jam the opponent's wooden sword, and simply and smoothly send the sword blade to the opponent's chest.

The two sword techniques may seem simple, but they are just the most basic cutting techniques in kendo.

But the skills and timing capabilities contained in it are beyond the reach of ordinary swordsmen.

Being able to integrate the sword skills used in daily training into actual combat so smoothly,

Even I can only do it on rare occasions when my soul is blessed.

Is this really just a novice who has just come into contact with kendo?

Riley was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"The battle is over!"

"Victor: Nolan!"

On the sidelines, the referee's announcement of victory echoed in the silent field.

"Nolan..."

Muttering, Riley's eyes were fixed on the tall figure in front of him, as if he was getting to know him all over again.

…

A heartbreaking pain came from the chest,

Even with the protective gear blocking him, the wooden blade that stabbed directly into his body with its inertial momentum still made Suzukiyan grit his teeth and break out in a cold sweat.

But this is only secondary,

Compared with the severe pain in his body, the shame and regret from his heart made him breathless even more.

I actually lost to a beginner.

In fact, looking back on the entire battle, Suzukihiko couldn't find any reason to comfort himself.

Have you underestimated yourself?

Maybe a little,

But he was convinced that his "Tang Bamboo" move, which struck straight down, had absolutely no intention of letting go.

One hundred percent effort, one hundred percent concentration.

But even so...

"We really failed."

He sighed, his heart already filled with deep frustration.

The battle was clearly over, but Suzuki Yan still fell to the ground.

The extremely quiet environment made him feel as if countless pairs of eyes were looking at him.

Ridicule, ridicule, abuse...

Imagining the subsequent reactions from the people around me,

He didn't want to get up and didn't dare to open his eyes.

The sudden and cruel defeat made Suzuki Yan, who had a smooth journey under the family's protection and had already reached the peak of his life, feel an unprecedented bad mood.

This was perhaps the worst moment of his life.

"Are you okay?"

Suddenly, a soft-toned male voice came forward.

Subconsciously, Suzuki Yan opened his eyes.

Her jet-black broken hair swayed slightly, and her tall figure blocked the light.

The cold eyes that were so sharp just a few seconds ago seemed to pierce through me,

At this time, he had calmed down, with a hint of apology.

A handsome young man named "Nuo Lan" was leaning over and stretching out his hand towards himself.

"Sorry, I was too focused just now and didn't pay attention."

The complex emotions in my heart are intertwined and echoing,

Not knowing what to say, Suzuki Yan just shook his head.

Then he grabbed the opponent's strong right hand, lowered his eyes and stood up silently.

Lifting the wooden sword, without saying a word, he walked off the battlefield facing various looks from the surrounding students.

…

Nuolan looked at the slightly bleak back figure in front of her,

He didn't say much, he just raised his hand to straighten his collar.

The apology and kindness he showed just now were not superficial performances.

In the final analysis, there is no substantial conflict between himself and Suzuki Yan.

Even if it hadn't been for Yueban Xiaolian, the two of them would never have interacted with each other.

The other party did not speak rudely, nor did he engage in any insulting or provocative behavior.

The so-called "contempt" and "arrogance" are just unintentional manifestations of his own personality.

Therefore, although the first impression was not good, Nolan did not have much hatred towards Suzuki Yan.

Previously, because of the perceived contempt of the other party and the disdain of the people around me,

Which leads to a little bit of dissatisfaction in my heart,

After that sword blow just now, I completely vented my feelings.

I don’t care too much,

After all, Nolan knew that as long as he continued to survive in these two worlds, fighting would be inevitable.

What just happened was just a small episode in the long life ahead.

Instead of spending too much time here, it is better to review how you won just now.

to be honest,

Even Nuolan, before the battle began, did not think that the balance of victory would tip to his side.

Suzuki Yan is obviously stronger than him in terms of body and sword skills.

But in the actual battle, he defeated the enemy from above and knocked the opponent to the ground.

Nuolan even had some kind of premonition in her heart,

Even though the battle just now was not a point-to-point sparring exercise,

Instead, it's a real life-and-death battle.

The one who survives to the end will be himself.

It’s not that he is blindly confident,

After the battle just now, Nuolan cleared away some stereotypes in her mind.

The body and sword skills may, to a great extent, affect a person's strength.

But in a real actual battle, there are other factors that determine victory or failure.

Mentality, will, luck...

Only by firmly controlling various objective or subjective influencing factors can we harvest the fruits of victory.

In terms of hard power, Nolan is indeed slightly inferior to Suzuki Yan.

But with two lifetimes of experience, a soul from another world, and extraordinary sensory abilities, he

But he grasped many details that the other party had not noticed.

Whether it's the calm waiting at the beginning of the battle, the split-second timing to draw the sword later, or the sharp blow that determines the outcome in the end.

He almost achieved it to the most perfect level, without any flaws.

to some extent,

He used the talents currently possessed by this body to its fullest potential.

Therefore,

Only Nolan can bridge the gap in strength between the domains and become the last person standing on the field.

This made him realize,

It would undoubtedly be biased and inaccurate to judge a person's comprehensive strength simply by whether he is physically strong or not and whether his skills are sophisticated or advanced.

Facing the opponents you will encounter in the future, you must not be blindly confident.

It is definitely right to carefully weigh the combat capabilities of both sides and act with caution.

on the other hand,

Nuolan also gradually realized that

perhaps,
Chapter completed!
