Kenshin Himura

Miyamoto Iori's Saber is also an unparalleled swordsman.

Not only did she survive the onslaught of "Secret Sword: Swallow Return," she even managed to counterattack and injure Kojiro.

To be honest, as her Master, she couldn't even clearly see the scene when the two finally clashed using their Noble Phantasms.

My only impression is of those figures brushing past each other, their backs turned to each other.

A cross-shaped scar on the left side of the face.

His attire also looks like that of a ronin.

Zhengxue was convinced that the other party must be a famous swordsman who existed in history.

Such swordsmanship was certainly not from an unknown person.

Unfortunately

"Master, it seems you haven't gained anything from your side either."

"Ah, I couldn't find any writings that match his characteristics."

"That's not surprising."

Even knowing the name "Himura Kenshin" doesn't guarantee that you can actually find him.

Kojiro wasn't surprised by this, since, to be honest, he himself was a similar figure.

"That murderous aura that can be controlled at will must belong to an executioner who has experienced countless bloody battles."

"But he was not blinded by the killing; on the contrary, he was able to feel the clarity and stillness of being a 'swordsman'."

"I have rarely seen such a master in my life."

Kojiro said happily, praising the enemy without any intention of belittling them.

His swordsmanship was superb, and his state of mind was perfect.

As an opponent, I have no complaints.

Even though he had a slight advantage with "Secret Sword: Swallow Return", he did not consider himself the ultimate victor.

Winning once doesn't guarantee winning forever.

Kojiro was somewhat captivated by his opponent's dazzling moves.

The unavoidable nine-hit combo turned into twenty-seven strikes.

This exaggerated range left a deep impression on Kojiro as well.

Even with the three consecutive strikes of "Secret Sword: Swallow Return", it only managed to cut off "twenty-two" of the attack, leaving it five strikes short of completely blocking the twenty-seven Dragon Flashes.

His hand gripped the scabbard tightly, and he gazed at the sky, a hint of unease creeping into his eyes.

To completely counter that move head-on.

This is the result of the swordsman's competitive spirit at work.

From this perspective, perhaps the other party has the same idea?

However, breaking through one's own "Secret Sword: Swallow Return" is not so simple.

"I can't wait!"

Will it end with regrets or complete with satisfaction?

"It all comes down to their abilities."

That's what Sasaki Kojiro thought.

It depends on human effort.

"Before that, I need to remind you one more time."

"Never take any action before the wound has healed."

"Yes, Master."

Seeing that Kojiro seemed to be getting a little "high," Masayuki had to remind him.

This person's personality is not rigid at all; on the contrary, they are quite carefree.

If you're not careful, it's entirely possible for someone to sneak out.

Therefore, Zhengxue must be strictly guarded against.

"Ok?"

But then she received a message from her student.

"Is this a visit from Lord Tsuchimikado?"

"This is really bad timing."

Although she had already contacted the other party before the ceremony began, Zhengxue was still puzzled by the visit at this time.

"Saber, please excuse yourself for now."

"learn."

She didn't know why the other party had come, but if it was just because of the "Ceremony of the Full Moon" that they had talked about before, Zhengxue still planned to refuse.

Since we are already immersed in the actual ceremony, there is no need to create unnecessary complications.

She doesn't have the extra energy to plan another battlefield.

She was waiting for the person in the lobby when she saw the person whose face was covered enter. She stood up and greeted them politely.

"I apologize for disturbing you with this visit, Zhengxue."

"Do not."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down again.

"I'm here this time for the so-called ritual."

"."

Instead of answering immediately, they waited for what would follow.

"The Ceremony of the Full Moon is about to begin. You should be ready, right?"

"Let's end this pointless probing, Lord Tsuchimikado."

Zhengxue bluntly exposed that she had no intention of playing along with the other party.

"So, you noticed?"

Upon hearing this, Tsuchimikado gave a self-deprecating laugh.

The Moonlit Ceremony was originally planned, but it has been abandoned due to the appearance of the Dragon Balls.

Rather, he discovered that the effects of the Moon's Essence had faded, perhaps related to the Dragon Ball.

Therefore, it is not allowed to use the power of the full moon to summon a second Servant.

That's for sure.

In this battlefield where Saber (swordsman) is the only option, if other disruptors come along, it might cause quite a few conflicts, right?

It's just a pity

Tsuchimikado's backup plan prepared in the spiritual vein could not be implemented.

To be honest, it's very frustrating.

Because if things proceeded normally, he could easily achieve victory by interfering with the spiritual veins through magic and controlling all the Servants participating in the ritual who did not possess "divine" characteristics.

What was originally a sure-fire, decisive victory had to be abandoned.

"I'm here today for something even more special."

"I hope you'll forgive me."

I glanced at Zhengxue's right hand, which was covered by a gauntlet.

The students had already placed tea in front of the two of them.

"Our goals don't conflict, do they?"

After taking a sip of tea, Zhengxue heard the facts the other party was stating.

She does not deny this.

In truth, Tsuchimikado's actions did not contradict his own wishes at all.

Rather than saying it has high compatibility, it's more accurate to say it has high compatibility.

Tsuchimikado, on the other hand, only wanted the revitalization of his family.

As descendants of Abe no Seimei's Onmyoji, their family has lost the position of "headman".

Therefore, Tsuchimikado is striving towards this goal.

What Zhengxue wants to do is to rectify the world and "set things right".

She cannot accept the distortions and errors of the world, which is why she devotes herself to rituals.
