Chapter 360: Being played around with...
After finishing breakfast, Yuri Mariya did not go to school, but went back to Liliana's room.
Then, Yuri Manrigai came to Aize and told him.
"Ms. Liliana has woken up."
Liliana, who had been in a coma for a day, finally woke up.
After she learned about her current situation, she expressed her intention to meet Aize through Mariya Yuri.
Aize did not refuse and nodded in agreement readily.
"Since she wants to see me, let her come over."
So, under the leadership of Yuri Manrigai, Liliana came to the social affairs office.
At this time, Aize and Qingqiuyuan Hina were confronting each other in the open space outside the community office.
"Ena is coming!"
Qingqiuyuan Hui, who had drawn her sode Shirayuki, let out a delicate cry and quickly ran towards Aize.
Aize held a pitch-black straight knife in his hand. The aura emanating from the knife made Liliana's pupils shrink slightly, and her expression became solemn.
However, compared to Kiyoakiin Hina, Aize's face was full of casualness, even a little bit of laxity.
"I have been blessed with the bow and arrow and have been granted the honor of this sword!"
While attacking, Kiyoakiin Ena chanted the same words that she had used to activate Sode no Shirayuki's spirit.
Inspired by the words, Sode no Shirayuki's blade emitted a snow-white luster, and as Kiyoakiin Hina swung it at a high speed, it turned into a snow-white sword light, like a pure white silk thread, slashing towards Aize.
“clang!”
Aize gently waved the black knife, deflecting the white blade that was slashing at Qingqiuyuan Hui and deflecting the snow-white blade light.
However, Qingqiuyuan Hina launched a fierce attack without giving up. Her figure moved around Aize like dancing, and the white blade in her hand slashed out with streaks of snow-white blade light, turning into a continuous sword dance, slashing at Aize from different directions.
“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”…
Intense sounds of metal and steel began to be heard, causing sparks to explode when steel collided with steel.
The black knife and the white blade collided fiercely in front of the social affairs office, and it happened hundreds of times in the blink of an eye, causing the airflow around the two people in the battle to become turbulent.
Kiyoakiin Hui's repeated attacks, her waving of her sleeves to violently slash the snow, showed her body movements and swordsmanship to the extreme, as if a celestial being had descended to earth to dance an overly intense dance of steel, causing the snow-white sword light to burst out continuously, and the flashes and shadows of swords and sabers to appear one after another.
However, such an intense and beautiful sword dance was blocked one by one by Aize who was holding the sword of Ame Murakumo, and even bounced off, making Kiyokuni Hina's attacks ineffective again and again.
"As expected of a king! You're so strong even without using your power!"
Kiyoakiin Hina, who had been unable to conquer the enemy for a long time, was not discouraged at all. Instead, she smiled happily, as if she saw the boy she liked standing still and calm in front of thousands of troops, and she could slaughter them all with just one hand.
"Be careful!"
Yuri Manrigai was watching from the side with great trepidation, fearing that one of the two men would be distracted and their swords would be indiscriminate, causing someone to get hurt.
"Are those two sparring?"
Liliana watched silently for a while, then spoke to Wanliya Yuri.
"Yes." Mariya Yuri didn't take his eyes off the two people fighting, but still answered Liliana's question, saying, "It was Ena who asked to consult the king."
"But she doesn't seem to be in good shape, right?" Liliana said as she looked at the girl who defeated her yesterday. "Although her swordsmanship is just as good as yesterday, her movements occasionally show some abnormal pauses."
"Is this a side effect of using the necromancy technique?"
As a witch and a child prodigy, Liliana could easily see the problems with Kiyoakiin Hina.
Necromancers are indeed the legendary people with special abilities, but as mere humans, even if they are qualified to use divine powers, it is impossible for them to do so without paying any price.
It is obvious that Qingqiuin Hina is still in an unhealthy state because of the spirit summoning technique yesterday.
In this regard, Yuri Manrigai did not hide anything and said it with some helplessness and dissatisfaction.
"I have advised her to take a good rest recently, but she just won't listen."
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, Seiakiin Ena used the spirit summoning technique for two consecutive days, which had already caused a serious burden on her body.
The spirit summoning technique would normally cause physical weakness for a whole week if used once, but Kiyoakiin Hina used it for two consecutive days. If Director Manrigai Yu had not used some recovery spells to treat it afterwards, Kiyoakiin Hina might have lost her life due to such reckless behavior.
As a result, today, this girl was actually very interested in asking a king for swordsmanship lessons...
Yuri Manrigai really felt that her childhood sweetheart was risking his life.
"Don't worry." Liliana was silent for a while, then said, "The King of Divine Tools is obviously paying attention. Whenever Qingqiuyuan Ena's body pauses, he will swing his sword just in time to force her back, so that she won't move too violently and affect her body's recovery."
"So, as long as that girl doesn't do anything too reckless, it should be fine."
Having said that, Liliana couldn't help but stare at Aize for a while.
Because she was an expert in swordsmanship, Liliana understood how skilled the king, who was too young, was with swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship of Kiyoakiin Ena, who was able to defeat him, was not inferior to his own, and might even be better than his. However, this king blocked all of his attacks with a nonchalant look on his face, deflected his every slash, and even had the energy to pay attention to his physical condition and exert appropriate restraint. Based on this point alone, the king's attainments in swordsmanship were by no means comparable to his own.
Originally, when Liliana heard that the new king could fight Salvatore Tony head-on with swords and the winner was evenly matched, she was a little skeptical.
Even though the Italian king was a problematic person with an unruly personality, he was a genuine divine-level genius when it came to swordplay. As a human, he was able to hone skills that rivaled those of the God of Swords, making him worthy of the title of the world's strongest swordsman.
The only person who could fight this divine-level swordsman head-on with a sword and end up in a draw was the martial arts king in China, who was said to have mastered all martial arts in the world and reached the pinnacle of martial arts.
It is obviously impossible for a new king who has just been king for a month and has been an ordinary person before to be able to do this.
But now, Liliana believed it.
Without sword skills that could rival the Italian King of Swords, the opponent would never have been able to parry Kiyoakiin Ena's attack so easily.
"No wonder he was able to defeat the Marquis..."
While thinking this, Liliana silently waited for the end of the battle.
About five minutes later, feeling pain in her body, Kiyoakiin Ena gave up.
"No, even if Ena tries her best, I'm afraid she won't be able to make the blade touch the edge of the king's clothes." Seiakiin Ena said bluntly: "Ena lost."
Hearing this, Aize put down the sword in his hand and smiled.
"It's okay, you're already amazing." Aize said, "I've never seen a Paladin, so I don't know how strong a Paladin's swordsmanship is, but in my opinion, your swordsmanship is no weaker than those great knights, and may even be better."
"With sword skills like these, even if you can't do it now, in a few years, you will be able to compete with those so-called paladins, right?"
Aize was talking about Kiyoakiin Ena when she was not using the spirit summoning technique.
Now, after using the necromancy technique, Kiyoakiin Hina does have the power equivalent to that of a paladin, but if she does not use the necromancy technique, she would probably only have the strength of a great knight, on par with Erica and Liliana. Even if she is stronger than them, her strength is only limited.
But in a few years, even without using the necromancy technique, Kiyoakiin Ena should be able to reach the paladin level with her own strength.
At that time, if she uses the necromancy again, even the top humans like the Paladins will be no match for her.
At that time, she might be able to face off against some weak and disobedient gods.
This can definitely be described as a promising future.
"Ena will try her best not to disappoint the king." Qingqiuyuan Ena put away the white snow sleeves, walked to Aize with a smile, and said: "Speaking of which, the king is really amazing."
Kiyoakiin Hina looked at the sword Ame-no-Kusan in Aize's hand.
"It hasn't been long since he got Ama Murasaki, but he can use Ama Murasaki to this extent. It seems that Ama Murasaki and the king get along very well."
She was the former owner and user of this divine sword, so she naturally knew how arrogant Ame-no-Kōsō's personality was.
Even for her, it took a long time to be able to communicate with Ama Murakami, but Aize was able to use it with ease as soon as he took over.
If Ame Murakami is a partner in his hands, a troublesome teammate who would act willfully from time to time, then in Aize's hands, Ame Murakami is the most loyal subordinate.
It will not resist Aze's use at all, and even without Aze's cooperation, it will actively cooperate with Aze and exert the power that Aze wants.
This made Qingqiuyuan Ena feel a bit weird, as if "her goddess was being toyed with by others"...
"You just indulge it too much."
Aize responded casually to Kiyoakiin Hina, and after retracting the sword Ame-no-Kurosakumo into his body, he looked at Liliana.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Aize came forward and smiled at Liliana.
"Hello, Miss Liliana."
Kiyoakiin Hina followed behind Aize and greeted yesterday's opponent with a smile on her face.
Liliana was not as relaxed as the other two. Instead, she knelt on one knee with a serious look on her face.
"The owner of the Bronze Black Cross, Liliana Kranichal, is here to pay respect to the King of Divine Tools."
Liliana bowed her head to Aize and apologized.
"I offended the king yesterday. Please punish me."
