Chapter 820 Kirito: Actually, I've always been the one being abused too.

In the human realm, on the northern border of the Northern Empire of Norlancarus, lies Lulit Village.

After a long period of special training... no, it was two and a half years, Kirito and Eugeo finally trained their physical abilities to a certain level.

About six months ago, he went to the end of the End Mountains again, used food as bait to lure several goblins from the Dark Realm, and successfully killed them.

It was because of defeating these goblins that Kirito and Eugeo's levels and attributes were improved, and they successfully wielded the Blue Rose Sword to cut down the Demon Tree, Giga Sedda.

The collapse of the Demon Tree caused a shock throughout the entire village of Rulito. With the villagers as witnesses, Kirito and Eugeo successfully changed their "swordsmanship" profession and embarked on their journey to the "Imperial Sword Academy" in North Santoria.

The top ten students in each year's swordsmanship ranking at the Imperial Sword Academy are awarded the honor of "Advanced Swordsman".

A senior swordsman can also choose a new student as a swordsman attendant.

When Kirito and Eugeo entered the Imperial Sword Academy as freshmen, they became the second and third seat attendant swordsmen, respectively, among the senior swordsmen.

The two entered the "Imperial Sword Academy" partly to hone their swordsmanship, and partly because they had heard that senior swordsmen at this academy had the opportunity to become apprentice knights of the Axiom Church after graduation.

Although the appointed time has not yet arrived, Kirito and Eugeo have already considered that if they want to rescue Alice from the Axiom Church, they naturally need to have some understanding of the Axiom Church.

Therefore, the two of them planned to graduate from this academy with the grades of a senior swordsman, and then infiltrate the Axiom Church to gather intelligence.

In this way, when Seiya returns from the Dark Realm, the three of them will not be completely passive when they go to the Axiom Church to save people.

Kirito's superior swordsman is named Soldelina Serult, a beautiful girl with long brown hair and a ponytail, and also a third-year student at the Imperial Swordsman Academy.

The title of "squire swordsman" may sound low-class, but it is actually considered an honor among the new students of the Imperial Sword Academy.

Only senior sword cultivators have the right to select their attendant swordsmen, and there are only ten senior sword cultivators available.

In other words, only ten new students can become swordsmen, which is a form of recognition for the large number of new students.

Although swordsmen are required to serve their superior swordsmen, in exchange, the superior swordsmen will also provide their swordsmen with certain swordsmanship guidance.

Since most of the students entering the Imperial Sword Academy are from noble families, the selection of Kirito and Eugeo, who are commoners, as attendant swordsmen caused dissatisfaction among many noble students.

In the sword training ground, Kirito, who was holding a sword with one hand, had his longsword knocked away by Soldelina's swing.

Looking at the spirited young woman in front of him, Kirito smiled and said, "Lina-senpai, your swordsmanship has improved a lot."

"At this rate of progress, you might have a chance to beat senior Voro and become the top graduate in the graduation exam."

Faced with Kirito's flattery, the girl named Soldelina did not show much joy on her face. Instead, after slowly sheathing her longsword, she looked at Kirito with dissatisfaction and said, "Winning against someone who wasn't even serious is nothing to be happy about."

The swordsmanship I use is the "Cerulut Style," passed down through generations of my family, yet you only respond with ordinary Imperial swordsmanship.

"There's nothing I can do. I'm just a commoner, and I don't have the family background that Lina has..." "Don't lie. Do you know why I chose you as my swordsman among the freshmen?"

That's because Rosso and I happened to see you training with Eugeo the Swordsman.

The sword style you use should be called "Aincrad Style", right?

If I could, I'd rather fight you when you're giving it your all, than beat you when you're holding back.

Kirito was taken aback by Soldelina's words. He hadn't expected that he and Eugeo had been chosen as swordsmen for this reason.

"Senior Lina, the desire to become stronger is certainly admirable, but sometimes being too obsessed with winning or losing is not necessarily a good thing."

Just like me, I've always lost to someone else. If I keep obsessing over defeating him, I'm afraid I'll live in his shadow for the rest of my life.

"But the person you're talking about at least seriously competed with you, but now you won't even give me a chance like that."

Kirito sighed, then thought about how he had indeed received a lot of care from Soldirina as a swordsman, so he quickly put on a serious expression and said, "Senpai, let's have another match. This time I will use the 'Aincrad Style' that you want to see."

Soldirina's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she quickly gripped her training sword tightly, her face showing an extremely serious expression.

However, ten minutes later, when Solderina looked breathlessly at the sword tip pressed against her neck, she realized that she had underestimated Kirito and his "Aincrad Style".

She had previously considered that Kirito was hiding his strength. With the eyes of a senior swordsman, she could also see that the so-called "Aincrad Style" was very powerful.

However, she never expected that Kirito would be so strong, defeating her, the second-ranked student of the Imperial Sword Academy, in less than ten minutes.

Keep in mind that she is a third-year student who is about to graduate, while Kirito is only a freshman this year!
Furthermore, Soldelina could sense that the strength Kirito had just displayed was likely far from his limit.

Being defeated so easily was quite a blow to her confidence.

"Kirito, you've always lost to someone else before. Was that person your teacher or an elder?"

After adjusting her mindset, Solderina wiped her sweat with a towel and curiously asked Kirito about the person he had mentioned earlier.

Kirito, who uses the "Aincrad Style," is already quite strong in Soldelina's eyes. She even believes that Vaughn, the top student among the students, may not be a match for Kirito.

Kirito, who is already so strong, said that he had never won against a certain person, which made Soldelina feel quite incredulous.

“Teacher? Elder? That guy is my age... no, to be precise, he should be a year younger than me.”

Soldelina froze on the spot upon hearing Kirito's words, then looked at him with an incredulous expression and asked, "You mean the person who keeps defeating you is a year younger than you?!"
