The sound of cutting wind.
A …… knife was coming this way.
It’s a blow with a distinctly different atmosphere than before.
It seems to be more entertaining than …… before.
One man appeared with the intent to kill and came at once towards us.
He closes the distance in an instant.
This man suddenly appeared and came towards me at blinding speed.
The opponent’s movements were peculiar, and somehow strange. His footsteps were light, and he used his entire body to launch a flowing attack.
The man lowered himself as if spinning, immediately jumped up on the axis of one leg and launched a spinning kick at breakneck speed. The footwork swung with blinding speed.
I played it with one hand, but it left a considerable impact.
The next moment, the man spun his body again like a backflip and threw a high kick from a different direction.
It’s a …… quite, quite unique move.
The man attacks with a series of unpredictable rotational moves, changing direction and speed exquisitely.
The man’s kicks are uninterrupted, one after the other in rapid succession.
A back kick is delivered while leaping from a low position, a swivel kick is delivered just above the ground, and an acrobatic high kick is delivered with the legs raised high.
The attacks come at me with the fluidity of a dance.
…… Just well – I’ve seen enough.
I’ve pulled up my physical abilities – I’ve summoned up Lianna’s power.
I can’t completely replicate Lianna’s because we are of different species to begin with.
However, by consuming that much more magic power, I strengthen my body and my entire body.
Clenching my heavier fists, I meet the man’s next attack.
The man leaps from his low position again, spins in the air, spreads his legs and throws a flying kick. I push back the attack with one hand as if to repel it with the other.
“……!!!”
The man staggered in surprise. From there I …… perform the same kind of footwork he did earlier.
“Nah ……!”
Perhaps it was unexpected, but the man catches my blow with a startled voice, but he …… staggers back.
Even though we have the same movements, I have more physical strength.
At that moment when the astonished man’s stance collapsed, I swept him off his feet as it were.
Then, I kick the man’s body, which is now completely full of gaps.
The man’s body is lifted in the air and slammed to the ground as it is. But even from there, the man quickly regains his stance and quickly rolls backwards and quickly stands up.
He again kicked in rhythm and launched a series of kicking techniques. Using his constantly shaking body, he attacked me with a series of feinted kicks.
He accelerated further and thought he was making it impossible for me to keep up with his attacks – but he was too slow.
Just as the man came at me at high speed, I unleashed a counter-rotating high kick aimed at his head.
He crossed his arms in a flurry and took my attack, but I broke through his defence.
“Gah!”
The man collapsed on the spot, looked at me and laughed without effort.
…… In the meantime, I’ve taken care not to seriously injure him.
“You are the assassin hired by Kazuma, aren’t you?”
“…… Oh, yes. I never thought …… you would be this good. …… I heard you were a student, but you’re too strong.”
I knew it.
He staggered back to his feet, smiling bitterly, and raised his hands.
“This is the end of the examination. I will report to Kazuma-sama.”
“…… ou”
I thought he had attacked me at the request, so I cut corners so he wouldn’t get hurt, even as me.
“Good, now you’ve passed the test without incident.”
“…… Yeah. After all, Shuji is extremely strong.”
“…… Well, in a way.”
“Now, there’s no waiting for you to pass as my official knight.”
…Well, with this, Kazuma’s exam will be successfully completed.
The only thing left to see is whether Kazuma would be satisfied with this.
While thinking about this, we headed to the place where Mei was waiting.
On the night of the day when the assassin was safely repelled.
I was called to Yuzuka’s room.
She said that her brother had something important to tell me about the assassin we defeated today.
He said that the video letter had been sent to him again, so I was supposed to watch it in Yuzuka’s room.
When I entered her room, Yuzuka was already sitting on her bed in her pyjamas after her bath. She notices me and waves to me lightly.
Mei was also by her side. She noticed my entry and immediately started rolling the video.
“Well then, let’s check it out right away, shall we?”
As she said this, an image was projected on the screen in the room.
It must be a room somewhere ……. In a fairly large room,…… an unfamiliar man was sitting on a chair and looking at us.
He looks like Kazuma, but younger.
“Who is this man?”
“This must be Masato Onii chan. He is Kazuma onii chan’s younger brother, five years older than me.”
“…… Oh, I see.”
If you say so, it makes sense.
“But why did the second son send the video letter instead of Kazuma?”
“Majima-kun, was it? Because you fought off the assassin so easily, my brother became too violent. He wasn’t in a position to shoot a video. This time I am allowed to take a video like this.”
“Y-Yeah, right?’
I see. …….
