The shuttle in the second dimension

　I'm really sorry that I have stopped updating for the past two days due to personal reasons.

　-

　“Hmm…”

　"It hurts so much!" Kurogane Ikki wailed in his heart as he felt the sharp pain in his lungs as if they were exploding.

　Looking at the familiar slope in front of him, Ikki Kurogane smiled bitterly in his heart. This street that he could climb up in just a few seconds now seemed extremely difficult.

　'Can I still challenge that [Raikiri] in this state...' Kurogane Ikki thought to himself.

　"Rather than challenging, it's more like going to die~~~"

　At this moment, Kurogane Ikki, who was surrounded by pain, suddenly raised his head. Not far from him, a young man of the same age as him was standing there, and it looked as if he was waiting for him.

　"Lin-Xuan." A hoarse and unpleasant voice came out of Kurogane Ikki's mouth with his dry and purple lips opened.

　It was clearly just a simple name, but Ikki Kurogane said it in great pain, and his distorted expression showed how bad his condition was at the moment.

　"It seems that they have put a lot of effort into preventing you from qualifying for the Seven Star Sword 31st Dance Festival, and they even made you look like this." Looking at the disheveled and weak Kurogane Ikki in front of him, Lin Xuan sighed.

　"Hey—Heitan, you should know that in your current physical condition, going there will only lead to your death. Faced with such a predicament, do you still want to continue?"

　Perhaps because his physical condition was too bad, Kurogane Ikki did not answer Lin Xuan's question. However, when he first heard Lin Xuan's question, a hint of confusion flashed in his somewhat dim eyes.

　The young man named Kurogane Ikki knew that what the young man in front of him said was right. His condition was too bad and he would just die if he went. But that confusion did not last long. It was replaced by an unbreakable determination.

　Looking at Kurogane Ikki's determined gaze, as if he had expected this to happen, Lin Xuan did not show any surprise, but said lightly, "Really? I understand."

　"Then come on, bet everything you have and break the shackles that bind your progress, Kurotsuchi." After saying that, Lin Xuan raised his hand, raised his thumb, pointed behind him, and signaled Kurotsuchi Ikki.

　He walked slowly past Lin Xuan in silence. Although Kurogane Ikki was in a very bad state at this moment, his condition had been checked to the extreme, but the tenacity emanating from him continued to rise.

　饣」

　'Don't let me down. [Falling Knight], no, [Uncrowned Sword King], with his back to Kurogane Ikki, Lin Xuan whispered in his heart.

　廴

　——纟

　Standing on the competition field, listening to the noisy but slanderous words around him, the young man named Kurogane Ikki did not feel any negative emotions in his heart, because he knew that those classmates were misled by the lies made up by Akaza-no-Kami. The only thing that made him a little happy was that he could vaguely hear some doubts about those reports from the noisy voices. However, he was not in the mood to pay attention to those now, and was concentrating on looking at his opponent - [Raikiri] Toudou Touka.

　This was not the first time that Ikki Kurogane had seen Touka, but it was the first time that Ikki Kurogane had seen Touka Todo as his opponent. The overwhelming momentum made Ikki Kurogane sigh that the opponent was worthy of being one of the top four players in the [Seven Star Sword Dance Festival].

　At this time, Ikki Kurogane began to think about how to win against such an opponent. Although this idea was a bit far-fetched, Ikki Kurogane had to think about it because he came here for this. He knew that if he could not win today, his future as a swordsman would end here.

　'My physical condition can no longer support my high-intensity combat. What should I do?' Looking at the opponent standing opposite him, Ikki Kurogane thought to himself, and at this moment, a sentence suddenly emerged in Ikki Kurogane's mind.

　[Bet everything you have and break the shackles that bind you, Black Iron.]

　'Yes, I've been forced into a desperate situation. All I can do is—' Thinking this in his heart, Kurogane Ikki's mouth curled up slightly.

　"Bet everything you have!!!"

　In the audience, Shinguji Kurono, who had been paying attention to Kurogane Ikki, suddenly raised her eyebrows.

　"Even at this point, he can still laugh!?"

　"It seems that Brother Heitie has figured out some things~~~That smile from the heart is unexpectedly likable~~~" Covering half of her face with a fan, Xigong Ningyin said with a smile.

　"What's the point of figuring things out now? Facing such a disadvantage, what choice can he have? As a disciple of that person, you should know what level of strength Toudou has reached." Shinguji Kurono sighed with a frown.

　"Indeed, Brother Black Iron's current condition is too poor. He simply can't withstand a long, high-intensity battle. No, perhaps he can't even withstand a short-term battle."

　"Then why not just end the battle within the time he can hold on?" As Xigong Ningyin finished speaking, Lin Xuan, who walked out from behind Xigong Ningyin and the others, said with a smile.

　"End the battle within the time he can hold on?" Xigong Ningyin raised her eyebrows and looked at Lin Xuan with interest and asked.

　Lin Xuan did not give Xigong Ningyin an accurate answer, but suddenly said something without any context.

　"One minute of [One Sword Shura] is too long~~~~"

　"!!!" Although Lin Xuan's words were incoherent, both Nishimiya Ningyin and Shinguji Kurono understood what Lin Xuan wanted to convey in his words.

　But at this moment, the three people who wanted to continue chatting suddenly frowned. The reason why they became like this was a man with a body like a barrel. He was seen wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

　This man was none other than Akaza-no-Mori, the culprit who had forced Kurogane into a desperate situation.

　"Hello, oh my—it's so hot today."

　Seeing Akaza appear, both Lin Xuan and Shinguji Kurono felt a little uncomfortable. This was understandable, after all, the other party was not a likable person. However, when the three of them saw the old man behind Akaza-no-mori, their expressions changed to varying degrees.

　The old man who could change the expressions of Lin Xuan and the other two was none other than the teacher of [Raikiri] and [Yashahime] - [Fighting God] Nango Torajiro.

Chapter 2: [Raikiri] vs. [Falling Knight]

　Today I suddenly discovered a very serious problem. I have been typing Xijing Ningyin as Xigong Ningyin. I am tired.

　-

　"Hmm~~~ Old man!" When she saw Nanxiang Torajiro, Xijing Ningyin was the first to react. After all, he was her most respected teacher.

　[Fighting God] Nango Torajiro. Currently ninety-two years old, he is the oldest Magic Knight in the country and also the master of Saikyo Nin.

　"Hahahaha~~~ My favorite disciple is still as mean as ever, but that's just how adorable you are~~~"

　"Cute!? Ouch, so disgusting, stop being so cheesy."

　……

　While Nishikyo Ningyin was having an insincere conversation with her teacher, Nango Torajiro, Lin Xuan walked towards Akaza Mamoru who had been standing aside silently.

　He was clearly walking in front of Akaza Mamoru, but Akaza Mamoru seemed not to see Lin Xuan and ignored him.

　[Pull the Foot] - Let yourself slip into the opponent's subconsciousness, making the opponent subconsciously ignore your own skills. Although he has not learned it professionally, after seeing Dao Hua use it and after some deliberation, Lin Xuan can use it, but he is not as good as the person who invented this skill - Nanxiang Torajiro.

　"Chairman Akaza, are you a little disappointed that Ikki Kurogane arrived early?" Lin Xuan whispered in Akaza's ear, patting his shoulder.

　"!!!!" A sudden pat on the shoulder and a whisper in his ear made Akaza Mamoru realize that Lin Xuan had walked up to him without him noticing.

　'When did this guy come up to me?! Wasn't he standing there just now?' Looking at Lin Xuan with a strange smile beside him, Akaza Morishin thought in shock.

　"Classmate, what are you talking about~~~Why would I be disappointed that Kurogane-san mentioned being there~~~" Akaza Mamoru said, still showing a hypocritical smile.

　"Is that so~~~~" Lin Xuan said with a smile, patting Akaza Mamoru's shoulder. After that, he turned and walked away from Akaza Mamoru, continuing to focus his attention on the competition field.

　But when he turned around, from an angle where no one could see, a hint of amusement flashed across his blue eyes.

　“I put it in—”

　On the other side, Nango Torajiro, who saw the process of Lin Xuan walking to Akaza Mamoru, looked at Lin Xi deeply.

　'Even though no one taught him, he was able to skillfully use [Drawing Foot], and his level of [Drawing Foot] was even as good as Daohua's. It's really scary~~~~' While thinking in his heart, Nanxiang Torajiro said with emotion

　"The Celestial Empire is really full of talented people~~~" As someone who has been to the Celestial Empire, Nanxiang Torajiro clearly understands the strength of this country. Not to mention other things, its accumulation of martial arts alone is unmatched by other countries.

　"Old man, what do you think of that young man?" At this time, Xijing Ningyin suddenly came up and asked in a low voice.

　"Oh~~~ Could it be that you have taken a fancy to her? Ala~~~ I didn't expect that my disciple would like this~~~ I didn't expect it~~~~" Glancing at Xijing Ningyin and then at Lin Xuan, Nanxiang Torajiro said with a disrespectful smile.

　"You frivolous old man, if you keep talking like that, I'll beat you down, believe it or not." Saikyo Ningyin said in a low voice, glaring at Nango Torajiro fiercely.

　"What a disciple who can't stand the stimulation~~~" As he said that, Nango Torajiro looked at Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan seemed to feel something at this time, turned around slightly, and happened to look at Nango Torajiro.

　"Hello." Lin Xuan nodded and said respectfully. After that, Lin Xuan turned around and continued to watch the game.

　"It's not easy~~~~" Looking at Lin Xuan's back, Nango Torajiro whispered.

　-

　On the other side, on the field, the two players who were supposed to follow the commentator's words and enter the field had already entered the field in advance. At the same time, both players looked at their opponents very seriously.

　Time passed slowly, and the two silent people looked at each other quietly without making any sound, as if they were still, but the moment the commentator officially announced the start of the game, the two people moved.

　As the buzzer sounded, a pale blue light suddenly burst out from the body of Kurogane Ikki who was rushing towards Daohua. It was the magical light that burst out after he used [One Sword Shura].

　"What?! The Iron player actually used his ultimate trump card [One-Sword Shura] right from the start!!" Along with the commentator's surprised words, this incident shocked the entire venue.

　"That kid is too reckless to choose to use [One-Sword Shura] at the very beginning." Just as Shinguji Kurono was feeling angry at Kurogane's reckless move, a sentence suddenly flashed through his mind.

　[One minute of [One Sword Shura] is too long.]

　At this moment, Shinguji Kurono heard Lin Xuan's words from a distance. "One Blade Shura? No, that's not One Blade Shura anymore."

　As if to confirm Lin Xuan's words, the blue light that emanated from Kurotsuchi Ikki's body became even brighter. It was the light that was a fusion of Kurotsuchi Ikki's unyielding will and the light of life. It was the light that emerged when he put everything on the line.

　"The physical enhancement of [One Sword Shura] alone is not enough. I want to be stronger and faster. One minute is too long. I only need one sword, just one sword that will put everything on the line."

　"I will use my weakest (strongest) to defeat your undefeated (strongest)." These words, which seemed to carry Kurogane Ikki's conviction, rang out along with the dazzling blue light that bloomed from his body.

　And what is Toudou Touka, Kurogane Ikki's opponent, doing at this time?

　Seeing Kurogane Ikki emitting a blue light even brighter than usual, Daohua understood what he meant and also understood that was his only way now. After figuring this out, Daohua also thought that as long as she used [Raikiri] as bait and made a feint to dodge the sword, then Kurogane Ikki would have no hope of winning. However, neither her emotions nor her rationality allowed her to do such a shameful thing, so she chose to confront Kurogane Ikki head-on.

　He spread his legs wide, channeled lightning into the scabbard of [Mirai God], and made a gesture as if drawing the sword. That was the movement before Touka performed [Raikiri].

　At this moment, both sides on the field had put everything they had into this first move.

　[Secret Sword: Purple Lightning]

　【Rachel】

　“Haa ...

　“Aa ...

　After stepping into the opponent's attack range, Daohua and Kurogane Ikki both swung their swords with all their strength.

　The next moment, the air flow became disordered due to the two knives colliding with each other, and a strong wind blew. Even the light emitted by the two knives colliding with each other was too bright for people to look directly at. They subconsciously covered their eyes to protect the light.

　At this moment, the sound of falling metal could be clearly heard in the noisy stadium, and then the sound of someone falling down could be heard.

　The falling metal was the fragments of [Narakamiya], and the person who fell was [Raikiri] Toudou Touka.

Chapter 140

　After Dao Hua fell, the training ground fell into a strange silence.

　The first person to break the silence was the commentator of this game. She shouted in a shocked tone, "Broken, broken into pieces!!! Player Todo's [Murakami] is broken into pieces!!! Now that the referee has successfully stepped forward, can she still fight? Or?" Just as the commentator was guessing about Daohua's current situation, the referee who had been squatting and observing Daohua stood up, crossed his hands at the commentator, and made an x ​​gesture.

　"Ohhhh!! The referee has ruled that Toudou can no longer fight!! The match is over!! What an unexpected result!! In just one encounter, the strongest knight of Pojun Academy has been defeated!! The winner this time is [Falling Knight] Kurogane Ikki!!!"
