However, Rian continued to make big moves as if he didn�t realize Shirone was taken aback.

Only then did Shirone realize.

�My understanding of swordsmanship is quite lower than I expected.�

Although Rian was skilled at using techniques, he didn�t seem to be putting much thought into his attacks.

�Then��

Shirone realized he had overestimated Rian�s skills.

It was dangerous to let your guard down, but to label the enemy as too strong was also a mistake as one would become too defensive.

�I�ll attack.�

When Shirone suddenly changed his strategy and launched an offensive, Rian got staggered.

�Keuk!�

As such, dozens of combinations rained down on Rian, and due to the tension, his defense started to drop.

�Damn it! This is not happening! This can�t be happening!�

�Those are definitely basic swings� But why are they so hard to block?! I can�t even clearly see the attacks!�

Rai suddenly came to his mind.

The detestable face that overpowered him with one hand and sneered at him in a match two years ago.

�Don�t make me laugh!�

Rian shouted.

�I�m gonna become the best swordsman in the world!�

Shirone thought it was strange.

He acknowledged the spirit of Rian, who continued to fight back despite fighting a losing battle, but in this way, his only ending would be death.

�Does he not want to live? Why are you being so stubborn? Does he even think?�

�Huh?�

At one point, Shirone realized that he could no longer read Rian�s movements.

Predicting a swordsman who emptied their mind and swung blindly was quite difficult.

�I won�t lose! I�ll definitely surpass you!�

As Shirone�s stamina bottomed out, Rian realized he had a chance at victory.

Shirone had saved his stamina as efficiently as possible, but there was still a huge difference between the two. Shirone�s sword began to feel heavy.

�This is it!�

Rian, who came running with his longsword hanging down, swung it up towards Shirone�s chin.
