I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Hmph! I thought you didn't dare to come. I'll just praise your courage for now."

Yamai Ryuyue's voice sounded muffled through the thick helmet.

As soon as Okita Souji stepped onto the ring, he summoned his own Kikuichimon Norimune. As for Yamai Ryuyue, the heavy armor on his body was his spiritual outfit.

"But it's no use! I checked your information before the match, and I didn't expect my opponent's ability to be the most useless [Physical Enhancement]."

That’s right, the ability that Souji Okita filled in on his profile was [Physical Enhancement].

In fact, if we only look at Okita Souji's ability values, she could actually be rated as C-level, but because the ability she displayed was the weakest of the four ability systems, the [Physical Enhancement System], the final rating she received was only D-level.

The main reason why Ikki Kurogane is considered a waste is his F-level magic power, and another part of the reason is his ability, the [Physical Enhancement System], which is considered a useless ability by everyone.

As long as there is enough magic power, one can still enhance his physical fitness, and the effect of the enhancement can even be better than that of people with the [Physical Fitness Enhancement] ability.

However, having said that, even if Ikki Kurogane's ability is not the [Physical Enhancement System] but other abilities, with his F-level magic power, it seems that it will not have much effect.

Especially the [Natural Interference System], which is characterized by its wide versatility and large attack range, will not be very powerful without sufficient magic power.

"Although I don't know how you managed to train your most useless [Physical Enhancement] ability to D-level, I will let you know that no matter how hard a useless person tries, he is still useless and will never be able to catch up with a genius!"

Okita Souji always felt that the other party was not only talking to her, but also to himself.

Stella possesses the greatest magical power in the world, which allows her to easily reach a terrifying level whether using supernatural powers or strengthening her body. She can be described as a living humanoid dragon.

I guess the person in front of me is the same. He attributes Stella's strength entirely to her innate huge magical power. He only knows how hard he works, but ignores the price Stella paid to control this inhuman power.

Souji Okita was too lazy to speak up for Stella, because her emotions had been fading since the moment she gripped the sword, and she also believed that sooner or later Stella and the others would be able to break through these slanders and prove themselves with their own strength.

From the moment he grasped the sword in his hands, Okita Souji would abandon emotions, abandon pity, and abandon fear.

As a result, her nose could only smell blood.

From this, she could only see victory.

The commentator was counting down the seconds for the start of the match, while the opponent standing far away was still chattering on and on about his abilities.

"My ability is to control my own density, which can make my skin harder than steel!"

"three!"

"Add to that my heavy spiritual armor..."

"two!"

"With your slender sword..."

"one!"

"You can't even hurt me!"

The blast of the giant trumpets echoed deafeningly in the dome-shaped arena.

However, a scene that made everyone's eyes widen happened.

After the match started, Okita Souji put the Kikuichimonji sword into the scabbard, then turned around and walked leisurely in the direction he came from.

The people in the audience thought that Souji Okita had given up, but she didn't shout out words like "give up".

He stared at this confusing scene for a long time. When Yamai Ryuyue came to his senses, his whole body was shaking with anger that was gradually reaching its peak, and the magic power in his body overflowed from his body due to his emotions.

“You… actually look down on me!!”

Putting away the weapon and facing away from him without any defense, it was as if the word "contempt" was written directly on his face.

A mere D-rank! And a useless [Physical Enhancement] type! How dare you look down on me like that?!

If you took off his heavy armor, you would definitely see his ferocious and scary face with bulging veins.

At this moment, Yamai Ryuyue's rage had completely burned out his rationality, and his mind was filled with the thought of crushing the guy in front of him who looked down on him into pieces.

So, he took a step...

"Pfft!"

Yamai Ryuyue's legs moved, and it was this movement that made him lose control of his body.

Hot blood arrows shot out from the gaps in the armor, and soon gathered into a small pool of blood under Yamajing Longyue's body.

He shook twice in his armor, and then fell heavily to the ground. At this time, Souji Okita happened to come to the edge of the ring and walked down the stairs.

It was not until Okita Souji's figure completely disappeared that the people in the audience who had been stunned for a long time gradually reacted.

"What just happened? Why is it over?"

"Is it a superpower? Did that freshman use some special superpower?"

"A sneak attack! That freshman won entirely because of a sneak attack!"

"That's not fair! That's mean!"

Those who shout the loudest are often those with malicious intent, questioning or despising, just like the squeaking monkeys in the zoo.

In a small corner where no one noticed, Shinguji Kurono and Saikyo Ningyin both had solemn expressions.

"Did you see that clearly?"

Shinguji Kurono suddenly asked this.

"...I could see her draw and retract her sword." Xijing Ningyin paused and took a deep breath, "but I couldn't see the trajectory of the sword."

"Even you can't see clearly..."

Only a short piece of cigarette remained in his mouth.

Shinguji Kurono remained silent, just holding a short cigarette in her mouth. No one could guess what she was thinking at the moment.

Chapter 78 Who is he?

After the battle, Souji Okita rushed to the place where he trained with Ikki Kurogane.

The stadium is actually specially equipped with a separate bathroom so that the players can take a comfortable hot bath after the game, which can not only clean themselves but also slightly relieve the fatigue brought by the game.

But Okita Souji didn't take a shower, the reason was...

"I still have to give Ikki special training later. Even if I wash it now, it will get dirty again in a while."

After all, Souji Okita resolved this game in an instant, and he left the same way he came.

The dust on her body now was all from the special training she received with Kurogane Ikki.

Passing by a floor-length mirror, Souji Okita paused and looked at his somewhat messy appearance.

After a long time, he showed a helpless smile.

"...Really? You always say you don't have any talent, but your talent with the sword is so terrifying that even I find it terrifying."

It was like a bottomless pit. No matter how much food she fed into it, it would be completely devoured.

The most terrifying way of progress is the one where you can't see the bottleneck.

"not good……"

Okita Souji suddenly reached out to cover his face in front of the mirror, leaving only the corners of his mouth slightly raised because his hands were not big enough to show.

"I accidentally started looking forward to it again... This is not okay."

If I don't restrain myself a little, I really can't help it...

"Killed Ikki."

As he walked briskly along the path leading from the stadium to Kurogane Ikki's place, Okita Souji suddenly remembered...

"Isn't it the senior's match today?"

Okita Souji suddenly started to feel conflicted.

Do you want to go watch my senior's game? You can even cheer her on.

If Ayase-senpai received her encouragement during the competition, she would probably be happy, right?

After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to go to Kurogane Ikki.

"Senior will definitely win this competition. Cheer her on next time."

Souji Okita knew Ayase Ayase's opponent, and he knew that she was not a very difficult opponent. Although Ayase Ayase was only D-level, as a third-year student who would graduate next year, she could even make a bid for the representative of the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival, so Souji Okita had confidence in her.

She has already won the previous game, and there is a high probability that senior Ayase Ayase will also have no problems. Stella and Kurogane Jushizuku are an A-class knight and a B-class knight respectively, so if nothing unexpected happens, they can easily win the first game.

Therefore, the most crucial person is the protagonist Ikki Kurogane.

In Souji Okita's opinion, although Ikki Kurogane is only F-rank, his actual combat ability is real. After all, even Stella's highly anticipated A-rank knight was defeated by Ikki Kurogane when they first met.

At least in this academy, there aren't many opponents that Ikki Kurogane finds difficult to deal with.

Most of them are acquaintances, such as Souji Okita himself, Stella, Kurogane Shizuku, etc.

However, Ikki Kurogane met his opponent in the first game, and that opponent was Shizuya Kirihara, who was extremely powerful against him and had always made things difficult for him.

Souji Okita was almost certain that there was something fishy going on in the arrangement of this battle, but he had no evidence.

Those who play politics have dirty hearts.

If she had used the Spiritual Base of a wise Servant like Sherlock Holmes, she would have been able to find conclusive evidence quickly, right? But now she was just a swordsman, and all she could do was draw her sword and kill the enemy.

But it doesn’t matter. If you have any doubts, then speak with enough strength.

Misty fog and fog can be cut off with one sword.

Thorns and evil beasts can be killed with one sword.

Any doubts or slander can be dealt with with one sword.

There are only three things a swordsman can do: draw the sword, advance, and strike.

As for the others, just kill them first!

When Souji Okita rushed back, he saw the depressed Ikki Kurogane and Suzuku Kurogane at a glance.

It is easy to understand why Ikki Kurogane was in a depressed state. He was repeatedly hacked to death, then healed, then hacked to death again, then healed again. This inhumane process was repeated for several days. No one would feel good about being treated like this.

The fact that Ikki Kurogane was merely listless was enough to show that his resolve was as strong as a rock. Some people with weaker wills would probably have asked for death.

As for Kurogane Shushizuku, she had to constantly heal the seriously injured Kurogane Ikki.

Unfortunately, healing is a delicate job, which consumes a lot of Kurogane Jushizuku's energy.

However, because of this reason, Kurogane Jushizuku's ability to control magic has reached a new level, and the effect is much better than taking magic manipulation courses. I wonder if it can be considered a blessing in disguise.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Souji Okita saw Kurogane Jushizuku and the others from afar. Of course, Kurogane Jushizuku could also see Souji Okita slowly approaching from afar, and her expression immediately became ugly.

"Can't you come a little slower and give Brother-sama more time to rest?"

"Don't say that, Shizuku. Compared to me, Souji himself has no time to rest at all. He must have rushed here non-stop right after the competition."

Kurogane Ikki is still as gentle and polite as ever.

Then he looked at Okita Souji and asked, "How was the game?"

"He's a fool. He's clearly on the battlefield, yet he's still chattering away. I saw that he had too many flaws, and we were in a hurry, so I cut him down everywhere except for the fatal parts."

"Ah ha ha……"

In response to Okita Souji's obviously dangerous words, Kurogane Ikki and Kurogane Suzuku could only smile awkwardly.

Because of this special training, both Ikki Kurogane and Suzuku Kurogane have a new understanding of Souji Okita.

But fortunately, most of the time he is still the Okita Souji they know. He only becomes extremely dangerous when he holds the sword.

Kurogane Ikki's unique sword-cutting skill is called "One Sword Shura", which means that in order to defeat an enemy with better talent than oneself, one must transform into a Shura.

But after witnessing Okita Souji in battle, Ikki Kurogane always felt that the other party was more suitable for the title of "Shura" than himself.

Moreover, Ikki Kurogane has already determined in his heart that the mysterious man who slaughtered all the thugs in the mall was Okita Souji.

Only Okita Souji's swordsmanship, which abandons all splendor and techniques and only aims to achieve the most efficient "killing", can be so terrifying.

But after confirming these, another doubt inevitably arose in the minds of Kurogane Ikki and Kurogane Shushizuku.

"Soji... who are you?"

Seeing Souji Okita with the familiar silly smile on his face again, Ikki Kurogane and Suzuku Kurogane were both confused and puzzled.

However, they all tacitly agreed not to ask Okita Souji directly.
