Chapter 115 – Monsters
It’s like a quiet lake.
It was my impression as I looked into Lenka’s eyes through the veil.
She didn’t seem to have any other thoughts besides sparring with me.
I feel like I can already feel the lofty spirit.
I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I’m sure it would be tougher than I imagined to score.
“I try not to make a test specimen match except for breathing. The important thing is to be careful and have an effective grid. I want you to engage in Dalian while thinking about that.”
If there is no machine match, that’s a good thing for me.
Are you caring for me?
No, as there are many players, it seems that they are trying to distribute each other’s physical strength as much as possible.
“Okay. All right.”
Lenka will make an objective judgment.
Due to her personality, it would hurt her pride to mix her judgment with selfishness.
I just need to show my all.
“When the judgment is over, do not sit on the solid line, but stand.”
It sounds like you’re going to start the next one as soon as one round ends.
You’re hot
I nodded, closed my eyes, and let out a long breath.
Then he raised his eyelids again.
“I am ready.”
“…..”
Looking at my serious eyes, Lenka paused for a moment.
Are you nervous? Or are you surprised
Most of the face is covered with cotton gold, so it is not easy to read the expression.
“I’ll judge that you’re ready after 5 seconds of holding your stance. If I nod once, I think it’s a signal to start.”
“Yes.”
“Then… Shall we begin?”
“Please give me a hand.”
A tone mixed with politeness, different from that in the afternoon.
I bowed my head and bowed to Lenka, then I took the upper part.
Then, Lenka, who was wearing a surprised face, closed her eyes and said,
Nod
Signal to start.
As soon as Lenka nodded, I stomped her feet and struck her shinai.
That moment,
Fuck-! Blah blah!
My bamboo sword bounced upwards slightly, and I felt a heavy feeling in the armor around my waist.
“It’s one round.”
“…..”
Lenka finished the judgment while keeping an eye on me while taking a break.
I was hit on the back in an instant, and I had no choice but to be stabbed.
I gave up the score before I even wrote the number.
Even if I predicted it would come out like this, it’s too fast at best.
Distance, power, speed and even movement were perfect.
‘This…’
I’m so dumbfounded I can’t speak.
Was the careless Lenka so fierce?
I don’t know if I can get even 1 point, let alone 3 points.
I gritted my teeth, stared right at Lenka and took her stance.
Let’s focus, focus.
@@
Anyway, it’s a body that feels intimidating whenever I see it.
On top of that, even the upper end of the offensive line… I’ve thought about it before, but it suits me really well.
But that’s it. His foundation has not been properly laid, and he is not yet his opponent.
Jjaeok-!
“One round.”
Widely! Jump-!
“One round.”
Wow-!
“It’s one round.”
That’s what he thought, until Matsuda was handed seven rounds to himself.
Kagak-!
‘Ugh…!’
Now that the 8th round was underway, Lenka was unable to stop Matsuda from charging in for the first time.
It was because he never imagined that he would come to fight first.
The distance where each other’s forward feet are close enough to touch.
Looking into Matsuda’s eyes, Lenka sensed that he was exerting his utmost concentration.
His gaze was sharp, as if he did not want to miss even the delicate movements of his muscles, and his minutely moving pupils were menacing as if they were watching his every move.
And Matsuda’s eyes were not fake.
As time passed, it became more and more difficult to feed him effective hits.
I could see Matsuda’s skills growing in real time.
I was lethargic until just now, but not now.
He stepped or twisted to get out of the effective grid, and in the meantime he did not stop his attack, embarrassing himself.
Awesome…!
‘Ugh…!’
Currently, it was a situation that was helplessly suppressed because of the innate strength difference between men and women.
She couldn’t be called cowardly.
Taking advantage of physical conditions was a natural thing in any sport, and Matsuda was only focusing on sparring.
Purely, with all her heart, it means that she is trying to win herself over.
It should be praised rather than criticized.
Thinking it couldn’t go on like this, Lenka rolled her foot to the side and freed herself from Matsuda, who was holding her down.
And then she extended her shinai toward his waist.
At that time,
Tadak-!
At the exact timing, it was believed that it was a single sound, and the sound of the blow resonated simultaneously from his and Matsuda’s bodies.
A heavy feeling rising from the wrist.
Lenka was stunned by Matsuda’s attack.
‘No, that’s ridiculous…’
I thought that if I was aiming for a counterattack from that angle, I would only have the head, but the wrist…
I would hurt my hands if I did that… The obsession is amazing.
Moreover, the battle took place at the same time, and each other’s lattice parts properly touched the effective lattice.
When both fights are successful at the same time, it is called a prize.
In this case, even though it is an attack that can win a round, the score is invalidated.
This award is rare even in actual combat, and it happened in Dalian now.
‘I almost had a big problem…’
It was fortunate for her.
If the attack had been a little quicker, it would have given them points.
Lenka gulped at Matsuda’s blow of conversion and said,
“… It’s a prize.”
“That’s too bad.”
I don’t even feel sorry for it, but I say it in a calm voice, but it’s cold down my spine.
I feel like I’ll give you a lot of points if I don’t keep my head straight.
Nod
Damn-!
An exchange of air and defense made immediately after giving the signal to restart the 8th round, which was invalidated by a prize.
The brilliance of Matsuda’s attack was transmitted to his arm through a bamboo sword.
Enduring the tingling sensation, Lenka tried to counterattack,
Wedge liquid!
I tried to swing his arm as Matsuda’s shinai aimed at his neck at breakneck speed.
‘Cut off your wrist…’
Wow-!
Then, when a cheerful sound echoed from the center of the top of his wall, he couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
‘Uh…?’
I just… Got hit.
Giving her head to Matsuda’s animalistic reflexes.
Power control, distance, movement… The three beats were harmonized, a perfect blow that was much more advanced than when he aimed for Tetsuya’s neck in the afternoon, and he ate a single blow without any time to use his hands.
I was obviously preparing for every situation, but I missed the moment.
He gave up 1 point in just 8 rounds.
My stomach is boiling, so let’s judge first.
You have to admit what you have to admit.
“… It’s a bout… You got a point.”
“Yes.”
Matsuda deserves to be happy, but after answering indifferently, Matsuda stands on the solid line again.
Creepy.
Looking at Matsuda, who was concentrating with her emotions completely dead, Lenka felt her unknown goose bumps run down her spine and spread throughout her body.
He looks like a monster, is it an illusion?
Sigh…
Seeing Matsuda’s arms in her solid line flashing above her head, Lenka erased all her thoughts.
He didn’t think about the past, he only looked at the present.
He himself had to do the same. He had no time to think otherwise.
Now is the time to show everything.
In order not to allow him to go astray any further, before he grows up and tries to eat himself, he must let go of his spirit here.
**
Jjaeok-!
A sharp pain felt in the left wrist.
I narrowed my brows, looked up at the ceiling, and sighed in despair.
Then Lenka retrieved her shinai and said.
“Heo-euk… Heo-euk… It’s a bout…”
“… I lost.”
3 wins and 27 losses in 30 matches.
It was my record at the end of Dalian.
I got the 3 points I was aiming for.
It’s something to be happy about However, the sadness was greater.
I thought I could lose as much as I could for the sake of my purpose, but losing itself was annoying.
That too twenty-seven times.
You’ve been training really hard behind the scenes, but can’t you just ignore the difference in experience?
Let’s think positive though.
I recently learned kendo.
In such a situation, despite having great talent, he did not neglect his efforts and won 3 victories from Lenka, who had only sold kendo all his life… You have to be satisfied.
How to get angry if you have too much greed.
Now that you’ve got what you want, let’s go home in a good mood.
As soon as you take off your face in front of the window, a cool breeze blows over your face and cools your sweat.
I can breathe a little now.
It consumes too much physical and mental energy… I want to sleep without washing.
Turning the collar of my sweat-stained uniform once, I approached Lenka, who was breathing heavily while leaning against the wall of her training room, and bowed to her.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“…..”
Her hair is all wet and sticking to her skin, and she looks so sexy.
Personality is all gone, and the color just flows through the face.
It’s also dizzying that the blueberry scent, which is stronger than usual, pierces your nose.
Suppressing my desire to attack Lenka right away, I continued.
“It’s a complete loss. It seems that all three rounds were scored by luck.”
Didn’t you know you could say such a humble thing?
Lenka’s eyes widened.
She looked up at me blankly to see if she was organizing her thoughts, and then patted me on the back.
“No luck. You got it with your skills. Seemed like a lot of effort. You worked hard with Chinami.”
“Are these empty words?”
“I’m serious. Honestly… It was unexpected. At least, I thought that even if I lost, I would only lose one game with no luck.”
Lenka’s expression is not very good.
I was trying to put me down properly, but I felt like I was in a good mood because I was robbed of 3 wins?
“Is there anything you felt from this sparring?”
Lenka’s next question.
I answered, bringing a towel lying next to her and wiping her face.
“Yes. I can understand the feelings of the people I dealt with.”
“The reason is?”
“Most of the 27 losses were lethargic defeats. Every time that happens, my pride hurts. I was a little angry that the manager looked at me with indifferent eyes. I thought this was a reverse, maybe?”
“What… Similar.”
“Or is it mirror therapy? Anyway, from now on, I will think about how the opponent will feel and try to fight.”
“…. Okay?”
As if she liked her answer, Lenka’s mood softened considerably.
Tomorrow, we might be able to return to our original relationship… But right after the sparring, we can enjoy this atmosphere as we acknowledge each other’s skills.
“I also knew that the general manager was a great person.”
“Stop talking candy. As promised, I will give up the number 1 spot.”
Lenka, referring to the topic of wishes.
I said with a smirk.
“Chief, it’s the 2nd episode? If there’s anything you want, just say it.”
“… Are you… When are you going to use it?”
“What am I… Reporting the situation.”
“That… It seems that the expiration date has been fixed, but wouldn’t it be right to set it now?”
I asked about the permissible range before… It’s so picky.
Are you that anxious?
“Shall we do it in a month?”
“One month…? Okay.”
Lenka shook her head slowly and headed to her water dispenser to drink her water.
I learned a lot while playing her sparring with her today.
So much to be grateful for.
But being thankful is being thankful, and a wish is a wish.
There will be nothing to watch.
