After thinking hard, he said slowly:

"You're back."

"Well, I just came back."

Ai Si's gaze stayed on Bai Yulin's face for a moment, then slowly moved upwards and landed on the hilt of the sword exposed behind him.

"You have a weapon."

"I did it myself."

Bai Yulin replied with a smile,

"After all, I'm coming out from the Hephaestus clan, so I have to bring some results."

Ai Si still said "hmm", then lowered her head and picked up the wooden stick beside her.

No extra words, no extra explanations.

She stood up, holding the stick in her hand, staring at Bai Yulin with her clear golden eyes. Her calm face showed no emotion, but she clearly said:

Now, let’s get started!

……

p.s. Thanks to my big brother [Hu Yan] for the monthly ticket. I bow to you in gratitude!

P.S. My new book is launching, please give me some data, flowers, comments, etc. Thank you very much!!

Chapter 50: Everyone’s doubts, Aisi’s surprise!

Bai Yulin's eyes fell on the wooden stick in Ai Si's hand.

Is this the beginning?

Just use a stick... Is she serious?

But when he followed those hands and looked at Ai Si's face again, he was suddenly stunned.

There was no contempt or carelessness in those clear golden pupils.

On the contrary, Bai Yulin saw some emotions that he couldn't describe in words for a while——

It was a kind of heat.

A heat hidden under the deep sea, yet still so scorching hot that it almost evaporates the surface of the water.

In addition, there is repression.

The desire that had been suppressed for so long finally found an outlet and was almost overflowing from those eyes.

He suddenly realized that this wooden stick was not a symbol of "casual challenge", but the nearest object that Ai Si subconsciously reached out and grabbed.

It's not that she doesn't take this battle seriously. On the contrary, she is responding to her inner desire in the most direct way.

Bai Yulin was about to say something when a smiling voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Oh my, you sneaked in here to spar, but didn't even invite me to watch. This really hurts my heart."

Looking back, I saw that the open space not far away was already filled with people without me noticing.

Loki stood in the front, one hand lazily resting on his waist, his signature smile still on his face.

Behind her, all the core members of Loki's family arrived.

The Big Three, Bert, the Amazon sisters…

A row of people stood there, as if the spectator group had rehearsed it long ago.

"Tsk... New Monster VS Sword Princess, the anticipation is so high no matter how I look at it."

Finn crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes looking back and forth between Bai Yulin and Ai Si.

Recalling the fainting feeling he had after meeting Bai Yulin's gaze, the Dwarf Clan's brave warrior suddenly turned his head and asked:

"Livilla, isn't magic forbidden in Orario? Why is Yu Lin fine?"

Mama-san looked forward and replied:

"You can also release it instantly without chanting."

"Forehead……"

Finn scratched his head, speechless for a moment.

He really couldn't do it in a way that could trigger someone just by looking at them.

"Tsk! He's just a rookie... If he can survive three moves from Ai Si, he'll be considered the winner."

Bert curled his lips, his tone full of sarcasm and disdain.

But those eyes were staring at Bai Yulin without blinking, never moving away for even a moment.

——It’s confirmed that he is a model of saying one thing but doing another.

As for the other people, they were also talking about it, but they all had one-sided predictions about this battle.

No matter how strong you, Bai Yulin, are, you are only level 1.

Ais is LV.5 and has participated in several "expeditions". She is the famous genius girl "Sword Princess" in Orario.

No chance of winning—these four big words have been stuck on Bai Yulin's forehead by everyone.

Standing a little behind the crowd, Lefiya had a complicated expression.

She pursed her lips and stared at the two figures in the field.

Although he was still angry about being teased by Bai Yulin before, he couldn't even get angry at the moment.

Lady Ais is the person she respects and admires.

Bai Yulin is the man who does not play by the rules but refreshes his cognition time and time again.

For a moment, the elf girl suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of entanglement in her heart:

"Who should I support..."

Ai Si didn't care about the discussions and attention of the crowd.

She suddenly turned around, walked forward a few steps, and picked up a long sword wrapped in cloth from an open space not far away.

wow-

The cloth was untied, revealing a silver-white sword blade as white as snow.

Bai Yulin's eyes moved slightly, he recognized this sword.

That wasn't the "Sword of Despair" that Aisi usually used. The weapon that symbolized her name "Sword Princess" had been sent to Guberniu earlier for routine repairs and maintenance.

Instead, it was this makeshift sword with a slimmer shape and more intricate carvings.

"Substitute weapons..."

Bai Yulin drew out the Kusanagi sword from behind him and glanced at the silver lines on the hilt. Some vague memories emerged in his mind.

"If I remember correctly, it was one of Guberneau's early prototypes. The market value... around 4000 million faris?"

Thinking of this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Any of Aisi's "substitute swords" is worth an astronomical amount of money, which can be considered a "privilege of the strong" in a sense.

Compared to her initial appearance of casually picking up a wooden stick, the moment this sharp white blade appeared, her entire aura seemed to be silently awakened.

That is the edge of "Sword Princess".

"Is that the serious look on Lady Ais's face..."

An almost pious glow gradually emerged in Lefiya's eyes.

Isn't it wrong to blush like this?

"Hey, Yulin is going to suffer! Our Ai Si Tan has clearly entered 'serious mode'."

Loki said with a grin, then turned his head and looked at the crowd:

"Hey, Raul—remember to get some healing potions for Yu Lin later. We can't let our baby get hurt."

When his name was called, Raul was shocked and stood up straight like a stick figure.

"Yes! I will remember this, Lord Loki!"

The voice was so loud that even the Amazon sisters next to them were startled.

However, just as Raul finished speaking.

There were no signs, no exaggerated rhetoric, and no deliberate show of force.

Almost subconsciously, as if they had a tacit understanding, the two figures moved at the same moment.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the two men unleashed the first wave of collision in the center of the clearing at a speed that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.

Sparks fly and light and shadow intertwine.

Loki tutted his words and narrowed his eyes.

"They're already so fierce right after the initial fight... I was right."

Everyone gradually stopped smiling and held their breath.

They all knew that at this moment, Bai Yulin and Ais Wallenstein were giving their all.

The two of them moved faster and faster.

The sound of the swords colliding with each other had brief pauses at first, but later it almost became a series of continuous and impenetrable sounds.

Clang—clang—clang—!

Just listening to the rhythm is enough to make one's heart tighten, as if it were a violent storm, constantly beating on the eaves, dense and oppressive.

But gradually, the team leader Finn discovered something unusual:

"Something's wrong..."

"What's the matter, Captain?"

Tione stood on tiptoe and poked her head out.

"Isn't this a wonderful fight?"

“It’s wonderful, for sure.”

He bit his thumb, his eyes becoming more serious.

"But have you noticed...their rhythms are too similar."

"Rhythm?"

Tione's head was full of question marks.

"Yes...very similar."

Bert twitched his wolf ears twice.

"This rookie has something."

After being reminded by the two, Tione finally noticed the slight incongruity.

Bai Yulin and Ai Si in the field, every sword swing, every step, even the angle of turning and dodging, were all perfectly coordinated, as if they were mirror-symmetrical!

It doesn't seem like a battle between enemies, but rather like two figures performing the same sword dance with the same idea!

"Why do I feel like Ais is fighting... her own shadow?"

Tiona's voice rang out, shocking everyone's expressions.

Bai Yulin... How could he achieve this level of synchronization with Ai Si?

This is not something that can be achieved by reaction speed alone.

This is to thoroughly understand the opponent's breathing rhythm, footsteps, sword-drawing habits, and even - the thinking logic of the battle.

Amidst the rapidly intertwining sword shadows, Ai Si suddenly thrust out a thrust, but Bai Yulin easily dodged it sideways in the next moment, and counter-stabbed at the same time, with movements almost identical to hers, and even the strength was extremely close.
