.The north, Alphonse.

On the endless ice field, between the snow hills that have been rarely visited for many years, two big sword warriors with golden hair and silver eyes have been confronting each other. And under the swaying wind and snow without audiences, they seemed to have to confront each other so aimlessly.

It is actually wrong to describe it as purposeless. For example, the short-haired male sword with a slightly tall figure has been eager to try it out, but the long-haired female warrior on the opposite side has always been absent-minded, which makes it difficult for the former, who has always been on the open standpoint.

For humans, it is enough to be fatal to move in the north on such windy and snowy days, but for the great sword, which is stoic and does not have much to do with no food or drink for a week due to physical condition, it seems that this kind of opposition is nothing.

"Isley, when are you going to start?" After about a few hours - or days - after that, the male sword opened its first.

The female Great Sword, who was named by him, as the first group of soldiers in the organization, did not seem to take the other party's questioning or warning lines seriously. "Your limit seems to have not yet reached, Ricardo. Now, when the forty-seven people were only two of you and me, are you so anxious to get rid of your identity as a warrior?"

"I can indeed hold on for a while without using the demonic energy, but if I want to challenge you with all my might as well as human beings, the more you delay, the more I can only wake up earlier." As if I had lost my last patience, Ricardo slowly reached his hand to the hilt of the sword behind him.

Isli raised her brows slightly. Although she cooperated with the other party to show an attitude of facing the enemy, she obviously did not mean to draw the sword first. "But, I think that under what conditions, no2 will challenge no1 with all its strength, which itself means the arrival of awakening. And this, from the day you sent the black letter to me, has been a fait accompli?"

"It is because of your disgusting pretending personality that everyone is not convinced by the inexplicable ranking!" The great sword lifted out, and the male warrior's eyes also brightened. Perhaps, it should be said that it is more accurate to burn?

At best, he just put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and the female warrior still had the stance of being unable to lift himself up. "Everyone? You, who are ranked second in ten thousand years, I don't know what the hell is Duff who has risen to third place after the fusion, or those who can't even remember my name? They are obviously a chess piece but have no corresponding enlightenment. What do you think of me and what does it have to do with me?"

"That's right, then, in the name of Instructor Roger-"

"In the name of some boring guy-"

"duel--"

"--start!"

...

...

"In the name of Instructor Roger—"

"Using the name of a silly guy—"

"Isli, you are talking nonsense again! Take the call!!"

"It's useless to just shout loudly!"

In a series of ping-pong, the two recognized as the strongest among the Big Sword candidates had an unknown number of single challenge battles on which training ground.

Theoretically, this kind of battle that can be regarded as the highest level in the candidate level should attract a lot of audiences, because although Instructor Roger taught everyone the basic usage of the Great Sword, he never seemed to have given specific opinions on real skills and specific applications suitable for individuals.

Even the great swords of the future that have been successfully integrated can still do it simply by wielding that heavy weapon, but it is still far away from being directed by an arm. Even if everyone has grown from ten years old to around thirteen or fourteen years old, it seems that few people can really solve this problem.

Of course, except for excellent students like Isli and Ricardo, they seem to have quietly tried and found sword techniques that suit their characteristics. Although they seemed very crude at the beginning, after more than three years of repeated practice, those sword techniques have obviously formed a personal style. Watching them perform these sword techniques, for other candidates who are still in the exploratory stage, they are actually quite valuable insights.

So when instructor Roger initially announced that the rankings of those two were still the first and second, most people still had no objection.

However, no matter how good the thing is, I can't resist watching it over and over again.

The candidates started training together since they were ten years old, and have developed some friendships of the same period over the past three years. Even if they really have personality and are really in conflict, they don’t like each other, at best they can be a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days.

People who are ranked first and second in every training can be bothered from beginning to end, even the patient will be annoyed?

Although both Isley and Ricardo have "used tricks" in battle for more than three years, or used the most basic practices to make the audience understand, Ding Ding Dangdang has been enjoying it for more than three years. Many people want to get married just now. Why do you have to come out every day, every month, every moment to torture everyone's auditory nerves?

Having said that, the audience who probably lasted the longest time would have to be the third-ranked Duff. Although the reason why that guy held on was often just to wait for Ricardo to fight him. Every time Isley beat the second place, no other candidate would take the initiative to challenge her, whether it was the initial panting or the later relaxed and happy life.

That woman is really not popular.

Instructor Roger has never felt sorry for her? He never takes extra corporal punishment to treat trainees, nor does he treat candidates as monsters or even demons without any concealment like other people in the organization. If any accident occurs during training, the injured will be taken to the medical room by the instructor as soon as possible. Although the female doctor in the gray robe in the medical room is weird, her treatment effect is not bad, and the attack treatment is faster than the defensive self-recovery - if the injury cannot be recovered in a short time, the training intensity can be reduced...

Compared with those slave traders, and compared with most of the "ordinary people" outside who completely ignore the life and death of orphans, is the instructor enough to be called a role model for human beings?

Although his personality is a bit weird, he also gave everyone the inexplicable order "Before you need to fight seriously, you must silently recite the name of my instructor to make up your final decision", but in general, he is still a good person.

Look at Ricardoduo respects the instructor and changes silent recitation to loudly recite every time.

But if it were the female who didn't study hard, but only learned the instructor's arrogant eyes on his head, she had never executed that order well?

Never take the second place seriously, I ignore the challenge of the third place Duff many times, and never look at other candidates directly. Those who were unfortunately arranged to be her opponent in training are always swept away with one move, and even the most basic storefront skills are the most despised by strange women.

If Ricardo could be stronger, let alone beat Isley in one game, even if he beats her, it would definitely make everyone proud for several days... Unfortunately, the high expectations that the candidates put countless times were ruthlessly shattered, and even if Ricardo and others were convinced in other things, they no longer believed in the "duel".

If they are willing to fight, they can do whatever they want. Anyway, the things the two guys use now have exceeded the acceptance of ordinary future great swords. It is better to start from themselves down-to-earth. And if you ask Instructor Roger about the basic things, you can still get effective answers.

If it really doesn't work, you can even talk to the gray-robed doctor when you are injured.

Although she seems to know nothing about martial arts and sword techniques, she occasionally talks about "human anatomy" and so on, as if she still has a similar effect on how to use skeletal muscles to smoothly use the great sword.

The great swords of the future at that time were very simple, and they didn't even know that the organization would dispatch them to forty-seven different places in the future. After training every day, many people even forgot that these trainings were prepared to eliminate demons.

This is probably a good thing. After all, using similar people as opponents is much better than using non-human monsters who have caused their orphans to be opponents.

...

...

Above the northern ice field, the confrontation between the two greatsword warriors has begun for some time.

At present, it seems that the male side has the advantage in speed.

Ricardo's sword skills do not seem so clever. The only feature that can be summarized is speed, and it is also the kind of dignified speed. It is not about using half-way changes, or borrowing certain specific conditions to instantly increase and decrease the speed of the sword swing. Even the assistance of the demonic energy is not needed. It is just relying solely on physical fitness to lock the opposite Isley firmly in the sword circle.

Although no1 on the opposite side seems to be at a disadvantage on the surface, as long as you observe it a little carefully, you will find that she is just too lazy to completely unfold her big sword path.

Both of them are actually quite simple and direct in swordsmanship. Most of the time, it seems to be just an ordinary slashing posture. But the difference between Isli is that she only needs to attack Ricardo, which is enough to use a simple "deal" move. Whether it is a sword body fighting or not, as long as it can affect the opponent's sword force and block it within a safe range, she is too lazy to move her wrist for a moment.

So from the actual point of view, the rankings for many years have been fair and effective.

"If you don't use your evil spirit, you won't beat me." Isli, who had been very busy, even had time to speak up and mock him.

However, as her challenger for many years, Ricardo obviously would not be stimulated by such simple provocation. "The instructor has never used evil spirits. Have you ever beat him?"

With a choking sound, the great sword in Ricardo's hand was swung directly to almost escape for the first time.

While he was pulling the sword with all his might, he saw the angry expression on the face of the first female opposite.

"Sooner or later, I will defeat him and show you one day!"

"If I could still be sane by that time."

The situation on the battlefield reversed instantly, and Isli pressed the latter with a fierce attack several times faster than Ricardo before, but his years of experience helped no2 to support it. However, he did not continue the ridicule just now. Even though he knew that if the relevant topics continued to go deeper, Isli on the opposite side might even be so angry that he could be irrationally chopping firewood. Ricardo, who has always maintained an open route, would rather shut up and defend hard.

If this continues, it will take about a short time to be forced to use the demonic energy. Moreover, it may be the last time.

Whether it is the name of the instructor or the instructor himself, he still cannot protect us half-human and half-demon monsters forever, right?

Even though I have been able to survive, it seems that I can be ranked in the second to last awakening, or died under Isley's sword before awakening. After all, I was a little unwilling to accept it.

Before handing out the black letter and making up his mind to give himself a break, Ricardo had actually "breaked" for several comrades. Some of them ranked in the forty, reached their limit after a few battles with demons, and there were also single digits. Not long ago, they were trying to stop their awakened comrades, but in the end they failed.

Although it sounds like a superstition, Ricardo himself, in every battle, he unswervingly recited the instructor's name, and then pulled himself back from the boundary after the eruption of demonic energy.

Even in front of those awakened companions who have lost their normal human reason, as long as they shout out the instructor's name, the other party's movements seem to be stagnant... Then, those comrades who still maintain the identity of the Great Sword either have the opportunity to escape or achieve the goal of dying together.

Cardo has heard of similar things and has witnessed them with his own eyes.

After being sent out, I never met Instructor Roger anywhere outside the organization, but Ricardo always felt that the Instructor seemed to be near him and near every comrade.

Just as he had promised after facing every trainee, "Abuse of demonic energy will eventually lead to awakening" after publicly reading the sensational warnings. And Ricardo and the few companions who remained rational until the end of his life seemed to survive unexpectedly in the eyes of the instructor.

Although many people later chose to awaken. Although among these people, including Ricardo, who had made the same decision before he met with Isley today.

For this hard-working no2, awakening is undoubtedly more difficult for him to accept than death. But facing the hateful woman in front of him who has been fucking against the instructor, he doesn't even care about awakening.

But why can the woman who doesn't take the instructor seriously last longer than herself?

Even I felt a little surprised. What I was most worried about in Ricardo, who was about to gradually release his demonic energy, was actually this inexplicable point.

...

...

"Having a minimum, calm and sober understanding of yourself is the basis for being a warrior."

After not knowing how many times Isli easily defeated Isli - even more relaxed than the latter's repeated defeats of Ricardo. Although this is nonsense, after all, Isli, who has not awakened, is not even as good as beta in any way. Roger pretended to express his summary lines to the candidates, while holding Isli, whose expression was obviously unwilling to accept it, walked towards the infirmary.

Li Li was already waiting for this rare test sample until he was impatient.

In fact, the reason why candidates do not like to challenge Isli is not only because of the obvious gap in their strength, the above scenario is also obviously one of the important reasons.

No1, who can easily win the second place, will naturally not take the candidates seriously. This contempt not only exists in the one-on-one competition, but once five or six candidates were really angry, but they joined forces to greet Isley but were still let go one by one, and the group fight was naturally deemed to be a prohibited matter.

Due to the length of the great sword, the physical fitness of the candidate, and the body shape of Isli, even if there are more people gathering, the only one who can face Isli just now is the number. Unless Ricardodav adds a few single digits to pull down his face to deal with Isli, it will not pose any threat to the latter.

So Isley has always had only one real opponent, or challenger.

Even from the perspective of a time traveler, since it is destined to be a North Horse, the maximum combat power in the organization is obviously an obstacle that will be cleared sooner or later, so it is also something Isley must do to find out the strength of the muscle instructor as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, before Isley officially awarded the seal, she had only gained simple failures, and basically never could have truly posed a threat to Roger.

Whether it is a normal human state or a state where ten percent of demonic power is released in private competitions.

Of course, Isley had actually thought about releasing 30% or more, but she finally remembered that she was the first batch of experimental swords. Even if she was a woman, the theoretical limit of 80% might not be reliable.

Since the first group of male warriors woke up very quickly in the original work, it might have already shown that the organization's technology was not mature enough in the early stages. It is probably okay for female warriors to last 30%, and they have to consider it carefully when they reach 50%.

But the problem is that if there is no long-term release of demonic energy as a drill, who knows how much it will be? It’s not that you can carry a mirror with you, and you can see your pupils discolored and your face distorted.

But is the more critical issue? Some abominable instructor only allowed Isli to release demonic power to 10%. Then even if the latter accidentally wanted to untie a little more, he would knock him out without hesitation.

No matter whether Isley was attacking or defending with all his strength before, once Roger thought that the demon power was released too much, he would take action without hesitation and get it done with one blow.
To be continued...
