What made you have the illusion that I am the protagonist! ?

"Yeah~ Please teach me a lot."

"No, because I have no intention of showing mercy."

Facing the youthful youth who greeted with a smile, Asahara Shingo's solemn response could be called ruthless.

As a user of the Flame of Rain, as well as a swordsman, what Takeshi Asahara felt from Shingo Asahara was the suffocating suffocation that is unique to the air before the torrential rain.

Putting away the previous laughing and joking expression, Takeshi Yamamoto's expression at the moment also looks a little serious, which may be the common point of swordsmen.

—Something is different.Tsuna was keenly aware of this.

Obviously, he still had a childish face, but Yamamoto, who could laugh even in the most critical times of the battle, now looked a little more, and it was this that made him change drastically.

This change created a sense of awe in him.

It's like... It's like, yes, it's the Takeshi Yamamoto that Tsunayoshi saw when he first came to the world ten years later.

This has nothing to do with the growth of pure age, and it is not as simple as becoming mature. Tsuna couldn't find a suitable word to describe it for a while.

If Squalo was here, he would be able to tell Tsunaki that there is more of this kind of thing on the mountain itself-called "enlightenment", the awareness of the sword.

He wants both baseball and swords, and Takeshi Yamamoto does have the talent to play both at the same time and bring them to the top.

However, the cruel reality finally gave him a blow.Ten years later, Takeshi Yamamoto experienced the death of his father and companions, and he began to regret it.

Did you really do your best for your companions and family?

The answer is no.

Although he is a top-level swordsman, besides the sword, he also puts as much energy on baseball, which makes him feel uncontrollable regret——

If he gives up baseball and only sticks to the sword, will he become stronger than he is now?

Although I understand in my heart, if it is just if.

Even though he knows in his heart that becoming stronger does not necessarily mean that he can save his father and companions.

But at least that way, he can tell everyone without guilt that he has tried his best, instead of regretting not using all his efforts on the sword after the damage has been done.

——Abandoning baseball and choosing the sword, this is the choice Yamamoto made after learning what happened ten years later from Squalo, his awareness of the sword.

And his opponent happened to be such a swordsman——

serious.serious.

Or in Toya's words, it is the smelly and hard stone in the latrine.

Like Toyomi, as a disciple of Ishitani Kiyozo, the former master of Ishitani Gogaryu, Asahara Shingo is undoubtedly practicing swordsmanship, but compared with Toyomi's Otachi, he uses an ordinary katana that is over one meter long.

The difference between the two can also be seen from the difference in weapons.

[澳wo] in Yuwoliu means to control oneself, that is, start from one's own heart, and the direction of the heart is the right way. Therefore, every disciple is encouraged to swing his own sword.

Although every beginner has to learn several basic sword moves called basic types, but in the end it is natural to prefer one or two types due to preferences and restrictions.

The etymology of the Japanese pronunciation of Taidao "たち" comes from the homonym of "cut off".

As for Shingo Asahara, who uses the sword as a weapon, what he is best at is the "cutting" move.

In the eyes of Kiyozo Ishitani as a mentor, the evaluation of Shingo Asahara is even higher than that of Toyomi.

This is also a matter of course.

Ishitani Toya is undoubtedly best at the two-type Xunying, followed by the three-type Ukiri-based on the rapidity of the sword, he suppresses the opponent with continuous attacks like a torrential rain.

However, in the eyes of the former Ishitani Kiyozo, this is simply a cheap and free slash delivery with no technical content.

If Toya's swordsmanship is to slash many swords in an instant, Asahara Shingo's swordsmanship is only one sword—he can only slash one sword. sword.

Undoubtedly, this kind of supreme sword that has accomplished all its merits in one battle is more in line with the taste of the previous master.

Of course, after that, Kiyozo Ishitani was defeated by what he saw as "cheap and free slashing delivery", that's another story.

However, Kiyozo Ishitani took a wrong look at Toya, but it doesn't mean that Asahara Shingo who got his favor is weak.

In fact, if there was no such thing as Toyomi, Shingo Asahara would have been one of the promising candidates for the next role.

The two confronting each other are almost exactly the same movements.

Shingo Asahara supported the scabbard with one hand, and held the hilt of the sword with the other. Takeshi Yamamoto did not open the box according to Li Baoen's words that "the Vengley box is the only chance to win", and his eyes were fixed on the opponent's shoulder—as long as When you draw your sword, this part will definitely move first.

"...how long are they going to do this?" Prison Temple, who was watching the battle, finally couldn't help but ask.

It can't be blamed for his impatience. It has been several minutes since the two of them remained motionless without any intention of fighting.

But it's not really silent. If you observe carefully, you will find that both of them are radiating water-colored rain flames around their bodies. The extremely pure rain flames expand each other, and finally meet at the midpoint of the distance between the two. to compete with each other.

"Yamamoto..." Tsunayoshi didn't even dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the duel between the two, especially when Takeshi Yamamoto seemed to have the upper hand.

That's right, as soon as they came into contact, Yamamoto had the upper hand, and the dividing line of the flame of rain was obviously pushed towards Shingo Asahara - the purity of the flame of death is determined by "enlightenment", and it is a fight for the companion and the future Yamamoto, and Asahara Shingo, who simply obeyed the orders of the master and fought, the purity of the flames of the two are naturally very different.

However, Asahara Shingo is not an ordinary person. Even if he just fought because he obeyed Ishitani Toya at the beginning, since he chose to step on the battlefield, he also has his own competitive spirit. How could he lose to a junior high school student! ?

——For the persistence of victory, this is also a kind of awareness. The dividing line of the flame of rain was pushed back again. Although it failed to push past the midpoint, it maintained the situation anyway.

Another few minutes passed, and the situation gradually began to shift.

——In this kind of competition, the older side finally started to gain the upper hand. Shingo Asahara was still the same as the beginning, without any change, but beads of sweat began to fall from Yamamoto's forehead, and the confrontation line of Yuzhiyan gradually shifted. his side.

endurance.This is the decisive difference. The young man's restless heart has become a fatal flaw at this time.

A bead of sweat ran across his forehead, brushed his eyebrows, and finally headed towards his eyelashes.

Takeshi Yamamoto finally couldn't bear the itch and blinked.At that moment, Shingo Asahara finally drew his sword——

——Ishitani Goga-ryu, the fifth type, Duan Kong!
