Chapter 63

Raon told them precisely why the fifth training ground had lost.

"Then, how can we win? It's simple. We have to change our opponents. We would win without much difficulty if Burren and Martha swapped their opponents."

"That won't do! I can't hold back my anger if we end up winning like that."

"...I'm sorry, but the same goes for me. Winning by running away is meaningless for me."

Martha, Burren, and the collaterals all shut their mouths tightly.

"Alright. Then here's the second solution."

Raon nodded, as if he was expecting their reaction.

"We are going to attack differently."

"Attack differently?"

"The sword formation that Martha faced was certainly solid, but the movement of their aura was sloppy. If you use your senses to strike where they couldn't move their aura in time, you can easily break through it."

He faced away from Martha and looked at Burren.

"Your systematic sword, which pursues perfection, is mere prey to the 'Intuition Sword'. It is about swinging your sword without thinking, relying on your instincts."

"Hmm..."

Burren frowned and nodded his head.

"The 'Intuition Sword' is a technique that relies on instincts, so they are easily tricked by fake movements. Use a feint and aim for the moment they take the bait. You should be able to do it."

The trainees' eyes were so wide, they looked like they would pop out.

"H-how?"

"You've been here all along."

"How did you know all that?"

"How on earth..."

The way he'd grasped the situation was more astonishing than their defeat against the sixth training ground.

"What the hell are you?"

"What kind of perception...?"

Martha and Burren's jaws also dropped in surprise.

"But what shall we do if they change their plans?"

Dorian raised his hand and asked his question. Since he was a coward, it seemed he also had lots of worries.

"That's a reasonable question, but their plans aren't going to change."

"Why?"

"Because they've achieved victory once. The sweet taste of victory will make them repeat the same strategy to achieve an even more perfect victory."

The hair on the back of the trainees' necks stood on its ends, facing Raon's confident gaze.

"But you said Kein's perception is excellent. What if he reacts quickly and comes to the center or the top as reinforcement?"

"It's fine. My perception is better than Kein's."

Feeling Kein's presence at the center, Raon smiled.

"And he is going to come over here."

Metun frowned, upon arriving at the fifth training ground's foothold after checking the sixth training ground's trainees.

"He is an arrogant child."

He was worried, because he'd heard how calm and composed Raon Zieghart was, but it seemed like he didn't need to worry.
