One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

Black and white lightning fell, transforming into two figures. Bai Ye flicked the blade with his index finger, "Oh, Stella, you look a little embarrassed~"

On the other side, dark lightning burst out from Bronya's palm, forming an electric field that enveloped the terrorists present.

Although the method of Yang Thunder was used, the characteristic of Yin Thunder that corroded bones and consumed marrow remained unchanged, and the terrorists with guns all collapsed.

"It's under control, Bai Ye." Bronya approached Bai Ye from behind with her back to him, forming a back-to-back posture.

"Ah."

Bai Ye nodded, then imitated Decade in polishing his sword and approached Wei Xiao. "You're the only one left now. Why don't you try to struggle?"

"..."

Xiaoxiao took a few steps back, but he quickly realized that he had nowhere to retreat! His timidity turned into rage, and he rushed towards Bai Ye, "You bastard!!!"

"Zheng——!"

A flash of cold blade light flashed. However... when Wei Xiao recovered from the dazzling blade light, he said, "Hahahaha!!! You idiot, you're still rushing towards me!"

Bai Ye's sword slashed at the "sin" on Wei Xiao's left hand, not by going around it, but by facing it head-on.

"Just come and feel your own attack!" As he spoke, he smiled and swung his right fist.

But it was no use! Bai Ye exerted force on his wrist, Wan Xiang flashed with a knife light, and once again met the smiling spirit suit... He still won! A broken arm splattered with blood and soared into the sky.

"No, it's impossible! How, how could this happen?!" He covered his broken arm with his hands in disbelief.

Seeing Bronya's helpless expression, Bai Ye swung his sword gracefully, blood splattering in an arc. "The reason a sword becomes my weapon is because only I can break it with my own hands."

"Power, so too."

At this point, it can be said that this is a satisfying book. As expected, Kevin's quotations are really high-end!

The incident was settled, and Ikki and Arisuin, who had been hiding in the dark, also rushed over. But...

"what!!!"

At this moment, a woman among the hostages stood up and put a gun to the temple of a middle-aged woman, "Don't move! If anyone dares to do anything unnecessary..."

"I'll kill this woman!"

Everyone's attention was drawn to him. Xiao Xiao, who had just been wailing on the ground, smiled like a villain. "I didn't expect that you little devils would think of blending into the crowd..."

However, before she could finish her words, a dark lightning flashed... When she came to her senses, Bronya had appeared beside the woman, grabbing her wrist with one hand.

Under the immense pressure of the grip, the woman could no longer hold the pistol and let it fall to the ground.

Emmm…Bai Ye turned his gaze to smile, “Um, what were you trying to say just now?”

"And that guy over there, hasn't he come out yet? Or is he planning to leave in disgrace because he has no chance to appear?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence. Finally, where Bai Ye's gaze fell, a transparent figure gradually revealed itself—Kirihara Shizuya.

He has red hair and is dressed like Iori Yagami... but unfortunately he doesn't have the temperament to carry off this outfit.

"long time no see…"

After appearing, Kirihara Shizuya wisely did not look at Bai Ye, but instead pointed his spearhead at Kurogane Ikki, "Kurogatsu Ikki-kun, you haven't left the school yet?"

Bai Ye ignored the dispute in this regard, and at most took the time to find a way to strengthen Ikki. After all, his involvement couldn't make the story worse than the original, right?

Soon after, the police arrived and took all the terrorists away. Thus, the attack came to an end.

"What's wrong with you?"

After finishing the transcript, he saw that everyone looked worried. Bai Ye naturally knew what was going on, but he had to give a reason. "Yihui, you tell me!"

(This is this, this is this~)

After getting a general understanding, Bai Ye also looked thoughtful, "I see... Hunter Forest really restrains you~"

The sword-cutting skill "Hunter's Forest" - not only the body shape, but also the aura can be completely concealed, all-round invisible camouflage.

"That's right. Ikki doesn't have a wide-area attack, so just finding the opponent's position is very difficult."

"..."

This was a complete mutual restraint! For a moment, the atmosphere present was somewhat silent. Until...

"Hey, Ikki!"

Bai Ye stretched out a hand and pressed it firmly on Yihui's shoulder, staring at him with a burning gaze, "Is this the extent of your determination? For something like that, wouldn't it be enough to just keep getting stronger?"

On the other side, Bronya also pushed Stella... Bai Ye jumped out a little too early, squeezing out the heroine's role.

"You're right!"

Finally, under Bronya's encouragement, Stella stood up and said, "Ikki is a knight who can defeat me! So I have great faith in your strength and the hard work behind that strength."

"You absolutely cannot give up like this!"

"Stella..."

Ikki looked at the girl who was trying to encourage him, and something different seemed to come out of his heart, "Thank you, Stella."

"You're right, I was indeed a little too worried before. Don't worry, I will definitely pass the trials and become a representative player! After all, I still want to fight you again."

Seeing the other party regain his spirits, everyone present couldn't help but smile.

"I'm grateful that you cheered me up, but don't you think you were too close?" As she said that, Shizuku separated the two of them.

Only then did Ikki and Stella realize that the two of them were very close to each other just now, and from a distance it even looked like they were kissing.

"Eh eh eh?!!"

Almost instantly, Stella felt the blood rushing up, and her whole face was dyed red, "No, no, no, it's not like that."

"I, I just..." Stella stammered and spoke a long paragraph to explain her behavior.

When they temporarily put down their burdens, the way they get along with each other returned to its previous state.

"As expected, encouraging people to cheer up is something that only girls can do. What do you think, Bronya?"

"Bronya isn't interested."

His tone remained calm, but one could faintly see the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

By the time we got back to the academy, it was already dark. We all had lunch together in the cafeteria and walked back to the dormitory.

"A lot happened today, but overall it was a good weekend, right?"

"Yes."

"indeed."

"Agree."

Bai Ye didn't participate in it... This kind of animation-to-live-action transition is always amazing no matter how long it takes. "By the way, Ikki, it seems your fight is scheduled for the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah, what's up, Byakuya?"

Patting Yihui on the shoulder, Bai Ye also stated his purpose: "While there is still time tomorrow, come with me to practice more! I want to see if there is anything else you can improve."

"You have to aim for the Seven Star Sword Festival, so you can't lose in the trials. You have to do your best~"

14. Special Training

The next day, the tryouts officially began. Stella, Shizuku, and the others were absent from the training grounds.

"Aren't you going to watch the game?"

"No need, Stella and the others will definitely win." Ikki stood opposite Bai Ye holding the Yin Iron.

"makes sense."

Bai Ye nodded and casually summoned Wanxiang, "Ikki, you should have noticed it at that time, right? I accurately found Kirihara Shizuya."

"Do you know why?"

"..., bioelectricity?"

"It does have something to do with it. But... the most important thing is perception! Ikki, you rely too much on your eyes." Bai Ye pointed out the other party's shortcomings.

As he spoke, without even glancing at Ikki, he lightly brushed his fingertips over the blade, "Perhaps it's an imitation of a sword technique, or perhaps it's your specialty? You rely on your eyes far more than any other sense."

emmm...

Ikki fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Byakuya also paused, waiting for him to think and come up with an answer, "Was it through sound?"

"Think again."

Bai Ye shook his head and swung the sword in his hand casually, still producing the "Sickle-Weasel Phenomenon", and the earth was torn into sword marks.

Sword energy, sword marks...

Ikki suddenly realized, "It's airflow! As long as there are physical forms in nature, there will inevitably be airflow during movement!"

"That's right, unless you specialize in wind."

If he could control the airflow, he could make up for it. But Kirihara Shizuya couldn't do it.

But Bai Ye wanted to say more than just this, he was going to extend it further:

"You've already experienced the Flying Sword Style before. I learned it from ancient books."

At the right moment, Bai Ye made a gesture of regret, "It's a pity that it's too dilapidated, and many things are missing. In that book, I also saw such a realm..."

——"A transparent world!"

Through some method, the perception reaches the highest realm! Even able to see through the living body, including nerves and tendons.

"To be honest, I feel this description is a bit too far-fetched. Furthermore, the cultivation method is completely missing, so I have no idea where to start."

Bai Ye merely introduced a concept, allowing Ikki to consciously experiment in this direction. As for whether it would ultimately succeed? Haha~ it all depends on fate.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and start the special training."

Bai Ye took out a special eye mask and said, "Close your eyes and perceive the world from a new perspective through hearing, touch, etc."

"Wait a minute! You'll be sparring with me later..."

"Yes, of course it's me."

Throwing the eyepatch to Ikki, Byakuya gently stroked the blade, "Don't worry, I'll use the back of the blade later. Come on, Ikki, I believe in your potential."

"..."

There was a moment of silence. It was easy to say, but you weren't the one getting beaten. But in the end, Ikki chose to don the blindfold, gripping the Yin Tetsu with both hands, and took a stance.

"Looks like you're ready."

After all, it had just begun. Byakuya approached Ikki in an instant and struck him in the neck with the back of the knife.

This direction!

Although Ikki sensed it, he was still a beat too late. Losing the eyes he relied on, he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Ikki, you're a little slow." Bai Ye commented, and quickly distanced himself, preparing for the next attack.

emmm...

When Bai Ye did not launch an attack, Yihui's perception was completely dark, as if there was nothing.

"It seems we still have to proceed step by step."

This time, Bai Ye deliberately gave a warning and clearly indicated which direction he was attacking from.

Ikki swung his sword to block... but it was still too slow, and the blade missed by a hair's breadth!

"Progress is a good thing, come again."

The attack frequency increased. But this time… in that pitch-black world, something seemed to resonate, like ripples on a calm lake.

emmm…over here!

"Qiang——!"
