Tournament - Finals Part 7

The twelfth match...... Hakurou vs Shion

It's the last match of the third day

At the center of the Colosseum, Hakurou stands opposite to Shion.

Inside the tense atmosphere is Milim who act like usual, undisturbed,

「Begin!」(Milim)

She shouted.

Having become more experienced, she gives the announcement fluently.

By the way, Souka doesn't take the referee role, she just does the victory proclamation.

Because there is the risk that Souka will interrupt the more serious sword fights, she only gives live reports.

Milim, imitating her, doesn't do anything that would disturb the match.

She is just happy that she could do something, my worry of her behaving wildly hasn't come true, I'm really thankful it hasn't.

Let's pay more attention to the match.

The two brandished their swords against each other with a quiet atmosphere.

It is not a relentless sword clash like the fight between Benimaru and Souei, they just straightforwardly test each others' offence and defense.

It's like a calm, flowing river.

However, a sudden downpour made the river surge.

Hakuro yelled out with fighting spirit as he slashed in Shion's direction.

But, Shion isn't impatient, with a wonderful example of using just enough power to not injure the opponent, she wards off Hakurou's slash.

Hakurou is still in contrast to Shion who is always in motion.

They give such impression, however this battle completely turned that image around.

Just like in the yesterday's battle, Shion obviously had grown. Her fighting method was not the one where she just attacks with all of her strength like she had done until recently, but she has changed into a skilled battling method that stresses the importance of rational tactics.

That is combining strength with technique.This means that her power had increased by one level.

If going by skill level alone, it didn't match Hakurouyet, but with both her higher physical strength and skill level supplemented by her instinct, she could fight on par with Hakurou.

No, they're not equal.

Shion who has a flowing sword art, incorporated her irrational herculean strength. Her technique is still immature if compared to Hakurou's.

In reality, the one who is seriously fighting and was pushed out in this battle was Hakurou.

It seems that Hakurou's swordsmanship was unable to ward off Shion's sword attack.

「You have grown, Shion..... Never did I expect that with your sword's skill you could get this far.」(Hakurou)

「Fufufu. I won't act violently for forever you know.

My wish is to reach that high place for sure.

With my previous self, I could never be useful for Rimuru-sama.」(Shion)

The swords intersect and repel each other. Once more they face each other by taking a distance.

It's more than I thought, they began to display the aspect of an advanced swordsman's match.
