Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

This was just his childhood unwillingness.

"Yes, I'm telling you now, Ikki."

"I'm telling you now, everything your father did was wrong. He wanted to solidify the class system, which in a sense is denying human evolution."

"People can only progress by having desires."

"Humans without desires will only turn society into a stagnant pool."

"So, tell me now, as a son, what should you do when your father is wrong?"

He didn't need to say more; the current Kurogane Ikki could already realize it himself.

He already understood, understood how he should wield his sword.

Haramura Makoto stood up and gently patted Kurogane Ikki on the shoulder.

"Ikki, I look forward to your new growth and evolution tomorrow."

That's right, his father was wrong.

Since his father was wrong, he, as a son, should correct this mistake.

"Makoto, you'll see it tomorrow."

"I will use the sword in my hand to create a new path."

Chapter 092: The Sword of Protection

Helicopters circled in the sky above the arena, and several drones with cameras were scattered throughout the arena.

This is the First Arena.

It is the largest arena in the entire Hagun Academy, capable of accommodating not only the entire faculty and students of the school but also allowing outsiders to watch.

And today, it was indeed a scene of bustling crowds and grandeur.

The seats in the viewing area were almost entirely occupied. The majority of the audience was wearing Hagun Academy uniforms, a small portion was wearing faculty suits, and the rest were reporters and off-campus personnel with cameras and long lenses.

Sitting in the VIP seats, Shinguuji Kurono looked at the bustling scene in front of her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said mockingly:

"This scene is quite grand."

"It seems that guy wants to crush Kurogane completely, leaving him no room to turn over."

Sitting next to Shinguuji Kurono, Saikyou Nene stared with her crimson eyes, gently fanning herself with an iron fan.

She hadn't interacted with Kurogane Ikki much, so she didn't have much to say about his situation. She came here today to watch the match of her handsome new junior.

But she still had a very deep aversion to Akaza's actions.

"Haha, Principal Shinguuji is too kind. I am far from it."

A man in a suit, short and fat with an insidious face, walked up the steps slowly. He sat in the front row of Shinguuji Kurono's seat, which was the best position to observe the match clearly, with a kind and hypocritical smile on his face.

In such a situation, the corners of Shinguuji Kurono's mouth suddenly turned up.

"Akaza!"

"Yes, Principal Shinguuji, do you have any instructions?"

Akaza was a little confused, but he thought Shinguuji Kurono was expressing anger towards him.

And the enemy's anger was the most pleasurable spiritual food for him.

"Perhaps today's match result may be as you wish, but the final development will definitely exceed your expectations."

"I hope you and the master behind you can bear it when the time comes."

...

Such a small episode was unfolding in the viewing area.

But on the field, the match was indeed about to begin. Haramura Makoto and Kurogane Ikki had already taken their positions.

"Here it comes, here it comes, it's finally here."

"The final round of the Hagun Academy internal selection tournament. This match will still be commentated by an old acquaintance, me, Tsukuyomi."

"The other commentator is Professor Orikizaki Yuri."

"Hello everyone, cough cough—"

"Oh dear, is Professor Orikizaki Yuri really okay? If you are really unwell, it would be better to have another teacher take over."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I can hold on today."

"Cough cough—"

"This is really not a convincing statement, but the match is about to begin, so let's turn our attention back to the field."

The broadcaster named Tsukuyomi cleared his throat to make his voice clearer in the loudspeaker.

"Professor Orikizaki Yuri, the players Haramura Makoto and Kurogane Ikki on the field are both your students."

"So, as their teacher, do you have any unique insights to share with the audience?"

That's right, the reason why Orikizaki Yuri, this sickly person, was dragged onto the commentary booth today was for this purpose.

After all, the heat of this match has been hyped to an unprecedented level by Akaza.

Everyone is very curious about the result of the match and the two players in the match.

But continuing to introduce the previous information is obviously meaningless. The players who can reach the final stage have had their information introduced fifteen or sixteen times, and no one wants to hear that kind of thing again.

"Cough cough, I don't know if there's anything special about the two of them."

"Both of them are excellent students in class, but if I had to say something, I recently learned a little secret about Haramura and Kurogane."

"And I have also obtained the permission of Haramura and Kurogane to reveal this matter."

Blood kept spurting out of the air, and Orikizaki Yuri's face became increasingly pale. Her shaky upper body seemed like it could fall down at any moment.

"Oh, there's really new information, what is it?"

Although Tsukuyomi was quite worried about Orikizaki Yuri's body, fearing that his colleague would just hang on the commentary stage.

But everyone's interest has obviously been piqued now, and Orikizaki Yuri must fill in the suspense.

"Haramura is actually a disciple of the War God."

Orikizaki Yuri coughed violently again, but while everyone was still in shock and had not recovered, she continued to reveal the real bombshell of the day.

"Also, Kurogane is also a direct descendant of the current Kurogane family, the son of the head, Kurogane Gen."

...

"Ikki, I knew I wasn't wrong, you won't let such things break your heart."

"Although one night is short, it is enough."

Looking at Kurogane Ikki's bright pupils, Haramura Makoto nodded in satisfaction.

Why did he say so much to Kurogane Ikki yesterday?

Normally speaking, if he was really Kurogane Ikki's friend, he should have said such things that would shake his mind after the important match.

The problem is that he had already felt it in Kurogane Ikki's battle, felt that Kurogane Ikki's sword was becoming dull because of his confusion.

If his sword hadn't become dull, he wouldn't have been in such a difficult battle against the opponent he faced the day before yesterday.

Such Kurogane Ikki could not win against him.

Even if he stood on the field, it would be meaningless, so he might as well take a gamble like this.

Failure is nothing more than the same as now.

As for success?

Isn't Kurogane Ikki's current appearance the best proof?

"No, it has already been broken."

Kurogane Ikki shook his head, and a color of emotion appeared in his eyes.

"But because of you, Makoto, my heart has been reshaped."

"Just like you said, I have many things worth protecting, reasons enough to reshape my own heart."

Kurogane Ikki directly stretched out his hand, and in the pale blue light, an ordinary black katana was directly held in his hand.

"Then, just like you asked, Makoto, today I will show you my new sword, a new path."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Haramura Makoto raised his hand, and with the surge of magic power, a katana with a strange red light emitting water-like ripples directly appeared in her hand.

"So I won't hold back, I will use all of my strength."

"Just as I wished."

"Both players, take your positions."

The referee came to the center of the two, looking at the countdown time on the side screen.

"——Match start!"

A figure flew out directly, as if responding to the rhythm of the countdown, and Kurogane Ikki had already taken the stance of a preemptive attack the moment the time reached zero.

"——First Secret Sword · Rhinoceros Strike!"

Exhausting all of his current strength, pouring all of his power into the tip of his sword.

Haramura Makoto has his own original sword techniques.

Then, Kurogane Ikki, who has no teacher but has the strongest swordsmanship talent, of course also has his own sword techniques.

And the so-called Seven Secret Swords are the secret swords he created during these years of training after leaving the Kurogane family.

The First Secret Sword · Rhinoceros Strike is such a sword technique.

Using Kurogane Ikki's superhuman body control ability, he concentrates all his strength on one point to unleash the highest attack of his whole body. This strike is the strongest sword in terms of power among all his sword techniques.

In other words, whether it is the inertia brought by Kurogane Ikki's own acceleration, or the power brought by the movement of all joints such as hands and feet, all of it is transmitted to the tip of his sword at this moment without reservation or waste.

If he uses this attack, even if he doesn't open the One-Path Shura, he can still cause damage to the protective magic power of an A-class knight.

"Tear—"

The air was directly pierced, making a sharp cry.

Haramura Makoto's eyes lit up.

Magic power surged wildly on the surface of his body, emitting a blue light that seemed to be substantial. His footsteps shifted, and the hand holding the knife in his right arm was raised directly upward.

"Clang—"

Then, two standard Japanese swords collided directly like this, but one was a stab and the other was a slash.

Two completely different trajectories, but with intersecting points of the sword, caused countless sparks to scatter from the junction of the two swords.

Not only was it blocked, but the force was also unloaded.

Kurogane Ikki's surprised gaze fell on Haramura Makoto's wrist, but at this moment, he directly understood how Haramura Makoto managed to perfectly unload his sword.

The secret is the extremely soft wrist.

Using a wrist that has a flexibility far exceeding that of normal people to relieve the impact of the force.

His attack was indeed dodged, but Kurogane Ikki was not discouraged because of this. Instead, in the instant of his passing, he forcefully twisted his waist, forcibly turning his body, and in an instant, several sword lights were waved out.

The airtight sword net instantly enveloped Haramura Makoto.

"Clang—"

Very heavy!

It doesn't seem like the power Ikki can use.

"Clang clang—"

Kurogane Ikki kept swinging his sword, and Haramura Makoto immediately followed up to block the sword.

Although Kurogane Ikki's sword skills are very exquisite, Haramura Makoto can always perfectly block them.

But in the process of blocking, Haramura Makoto felt something was wrong.
