Start From Soul Society and Cutting Through All the Worlds

Chapter 272 Did you mess up a female swordsman again?

“Oh, Alexia, do you think Teacher Geno will definitely win?”

Hearing what Ye Cheng said in a rather playful tone, Alexia was obviously stunned for a moment.

“Jeno Guliffi is also a famous swordsman genius in the capital, and he has already served as the swordsmanship instructor of the academy at this age. Is it possible that Sid can still win?”

Alexia was really confused about what Yecheng said. Although she didn't like Geno Guliffi from the bottom of her heart, Alexia had to recognize the other person's excellence.

Among the entire royal capital, Geno Guliffi's swordsmanship is not the strongest among all his peers, but he is definitely among the best, otherwise the other party would not become his fiancée.

As for Sid..., at least so far, Alexia has not discovered any powerful special talent in him.

“Really, does Her Highness Alexia think so? Indeed, Sid should not be able to defeat that swordsmanship teacher now.

 The gossip has gone a bit far, so let’s ignore their side for now and let’s start our exchange of swordsmanship. "

Yecheng naturally knows the level of swordsmanship of the man named Geno Gulife. After all, he has been studying with him as a "student" for some time.

But with that level of swordsmanship, Yecheng can only say that if Sid takes out the large "Shadow" vest, Jeno Gulife will not be able to make two moves in front of him.

 That's why he just said, "Sid can't win against him now."

　　However, in Alexia, these words were understood to mean something else.

She thinks what Yecheng means is that the current Sid is no match for Geno Gulliffe, but in the future Sid will become stronger and strong enough to defeat Geno Gulliffe.

 The wooden swords collided with each other. Due to her superior physical strength, Alexia's body was knocked back by Ye Cheng's blow.

“Yecheng classmate seems to be very optimistic about Sid classmate, because we grew up together?”

Feeling the numbness in her arm holding the sword, Alexia couldn't help but sigh at the physical difference between men and women, and asked curiously.

“No, it’s not that I think highly of him, but just because we grew up together, I understand him better.

Your Highness Alexia, although this is just a swordsmanship contest, if you are half-hearted during the battle, you will die. "

After knocking Alexia's body away with a sword, Ye Cheng kicked back with one foot, and his body suddenly shot out like a thunderbolt, and directly stabbed the wooden sword in Alexia's hand three steps ahead. It was also pointed directly at Alexia's throat.

Looking at the wooden sword so close to her throat, Alexia looked at Ye Cheng in front of her in shock.

Alexia originally thought that the only difference between herself and Ye City was in strength, but she didn’t expect that the gap in speed and other aspects was actually so...

That rapid thrust just now was probably a partial strengthening of the forceful steps by using magic power!

This is a very difficult skill. The magic swordsman uses magic power to strengthen his body and moves during battle. This is a skill that must be mastered.

 But when using magic power to strengthen the body, a lot of magic power will always be wasted without value.

For example, when using magic power to strengthen the whole body, some of the magic power flowing to the chest, abdomen and buttocks is almost useless in battle.     In the case of limited magic power, effective use of one's own magic power can make the magic swordsman's combat endurance longer.

 So a magic swordsman who has reached a certain level will master the magic power and have the skills to strengthen it, and a magic swordsman who can do this can theoretically be regarded as a true magic swordsman.

The principle of local magic strengthening does not sound difficult, but Alexia is quite clear that it is quite difficult to do this well.

 To concentrate the magic power into a single burst requires extremely strong manipulation and control of the magic power.

Like what Ye Cheng did just now, the magic power is concentrated on the feet and explodes, which can instantly increase the speed and explosive power.

 Concentrating such magic power on the sword and releasing it is the so-called "combat skill"!

　　The "Bushin-ryu" created by Alexia's sister, Alice Midgar, the first princess of the Kingdom of Midgar, was actually developed based on this.

 That's why Alexia was so surprised when she saw the skills used by Ye Cheng.

Yecheng is a freshman who just entered the college this year. He is only about the same age as himself, but his current level has even surpassed those senior students who are about to graduate...

 No, Alexia now even doubts that Night City’s level is even enough to serve as the academy’s swordsmanship instructor!

"Heh, is this the so-called genius? Compared to those without talent, whether it's my sister or my classmates in Yecheng, your innate talents are really enviable."

Although she had long expected that she might lose, Alexia really didn't expect that she would lose so cleanly.

 As both the princesses of the Kingdom of Midgar, Alexia is often compared with her sister Alice, which is quite normal.

 Compared to Alice, who is extremely talented, founded the "Bushin-ryu", and is even called the "Shield of the Kingdom", Alexia has always been quite inferior.

It's not that she never thought about resisting fate, but no matter how hard she tried, her sword was always evaluated as "the sword of ordinary people".

 Because of the huge gap in swordsmanship between her and her sister, Alexia hated her own sword more than once.

This tragic defeat at the hands of Ye Cheng made her realize firsthand that the gap between geniuses and mortals, the innate gap, cannot be made up by hard work alone.

Looking at Alexia, whose eyes were lifeless and slumped on the ground as if she had been spoiled, Ye Cheng was stunned.

In the past, Cleya was like this, and so is Arakhia now. Night City now even feels that it is not possible to compare with women in this world!

There is no problem in fencing with men, but in fencing with women, he seems to be under some kind of curse, which can break the girl's mentality every time...

“Genius and mortal? Although I don’t know why Alexia suddenly had such a realization.

But I think the sword that Her Highness Alexia just made is quite beautiful. This is not a boring flattery or comfort, but I see a quality of unwillingness to admit defeat and tenacity in your sword.

Your Highness Alexia may think that I have such strength because of my innate talent?

To be honest, such words are quite rude to me, because your casual words have almost wiped out all my hard work and practice so far. "
