"Bang!"
Two wooden swords sliced through the air, attacking and defending at tricky angles against each other, before clashing hard once again.
As the attacking side, Kisara Tendo knew that as a woman, the innate factor of strength was inevitably weaker than that of a man. Moreover, during the previous probing exchanges with Morin, she had already gained a sufficient understanding of his strength. She had no intention of directly confronting his strengths with her weaknesses!
Kisara Tendo lightly tapped the ground with her foot, gracefully retreating half a step. The wooden sword in her hand, having shed most of its force, transformed into a black shadow that directly slashed towards Morin's waist.
The wooden sword struck Morin's waist solidly. The weakened pain, although Morin had experienced it many times, still made the corner of his eye twitch slightly. Then, his whole body stepped forward, and the wooden sword instantly thrust straight.
Amidst the sharp sound of air being split, Kisara Tendo's entire figure retreated swiftly like lightning. Morin's wooden sword, like the previous times, only slightly brushed past her. The momentum brought by the rapidly slashing wooden sword, besides making Kisara Tendo's black hair flutter more elegantly, had no other effect.
However, Morin, Kisara Tendo, and even the surrounding lolis all understood the speed of Morin's personal progress.
During the previous sparring sessions, Morin's attacks almost never reached Kisara Tendo's side. Most of his attacks at most made Kisara Tendo dodge. Even the half-awakened [Super Perception] talent skill only greatly improved Morin's perception ability, not instantly turning him into a top-tier swordsman.
Excluding the special circumstances of truly entering the [Super Perception] state, Morin was now able to make Kisara Tendo feel somewhat dangerous. Not only had the number of times he was hit greatly decreased, but his [Cold Weapon Mastery] skill was rapidly climbing from 23 points, almost increasing by one point per minute it should be known that previously, Morin's combat and training efforts combined had only raised his [Cold Weapon Mastery] from 20 points to 23 points. But now, after just one fight with Kisara Tendo, the value had already reached the level of [Cold Weapon Mastery 30] points!
[Swordsmanship has reached a certain limit...]
When Morin once again swung his wooden sword in a straight thrust and found that he still hadn't hit Kisara Tendo, this thought surfaced in his mind.
He had reached a limit! Or rather, after being directly ravaged by Kisara Tendo's fighting style, apart from the sometimes working, sometimes not working [Super Perception] state, Morin's use of the wooden sword in his hand had obviously improved significantly. However, without Kisara Tendo going all out, it was impossible for Morin to continuously upgrade his swordsmanship to the limit. Now Morin already felt that he had reached a certain bottleneck.
Wanting to break through the bottleneck of [Cold Weapon Mastery] now?
Unless Morin engaged in a deadly fight with Kisara Tendo or fought to the death with a powerful enemy, he could only rely on gradual effort to improve!
...
"Stop! Miss Kisara, I think your anger is almost gone?!"
Although it was a question, Morin directly stopped his movements and said loudly to Kisara Tendo.
Morin could of course see that Kisara Tendo had been "particularly attentive" to him during their sparring. Her merciless wooden sword strikes could completely put an ordinary person in bed for several days. Later on, when Kisara Tendo discovered the [Super Perception] trait's enhancement, she even directly aimed for his face. If he couldn't guess the reason for this strange situation, Morin would have already received his "lunch box" in SAO.
It was simply because Morin saw that sparring with Kisara Tendo could improve his [Cold Weapon Mastery] proficiency. Only a fool would let Kisara Tendo use him as a target!
"Hmph~! Uh... this..."
Seeing that Morin had already seen through her little thoughts, Kisara Tendo went along with the flow, snorted coldly, and sheathed her sword, preparing to say something, when she suddenly felt weakness in her body and a pain coming from her waist and abdomen.
During the battle just now, Kisara Tendo's mind was completely focused and she hadn't paid any attention. Now she felt as if her whole body had suddenly fallen into a state of pain and weakness. The lack of kidney function, which usually required blood dialysis to maintain, was particularly troublesome when Kisara Tendo herself was fighting. And coincidentally, Kisara Tendo had just engaged in a very intense, high-speed battle. Now that she relaxed, she immediately felt the impending fainting sensation.
However, Kisara Tendo wasn't in her rented home right now, nor was Rentaro Satomi by her side. She was in the Thirty-ninth District!
"Ugh... you..."
When Kisara Tendo's body swayed, trying to use the wooden sword to steady herself but still helplessly falling towards the ground, she was suddenly pulled up and directly embraced. Then, looking up in astonishment, she saw Morin's face.
Had this guy taken advantage of her again?
The first thought that popped into Kisara Tendo's mind wasn't that she had been rescued, but rather the feeling of shame and anger at being taken advantage of by Morin again.
The reason? Well, there was no way around it. Morin's previous rash actions had left a terrible impression on Kisara Tendo!
Unless it was a tomboy who didn't care at all and was extremely thick-skinned, any modern girl from Kisara Tendo's perspective, after being seen naked by a strange man, wouldn't have the thought of resigning herself to fate as the first thing that came to mind. She would definitely want to teach that guy Morin a harsh lesson!
Now, seeing herself being "saved" and taken advantage of by Morin again, the emotions of shame and anger mixed in Kisara Tendo's heart suddenly rose. Combined with the fatigue and pain from the relaxation after the battle, Kisara Tendo's vision went dark, and she fainted, her whole body completely leaning into Morin's embrace.
However, Morin had never expected to encounter such a thing. He had just reached out to help when he saw Kisara Tendo glaring at him, but then her body swayed and she directly fainted?
"You're kidding me?"
Looking at Kisara Tendo, who had fainted in his arms, Morin couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that suddenly having a girl faint in his arms like this was quite a ridiculous situation.
"Brother!"
"Did something happen?!"...
Before Morin could think about how to deal with the unconscious Kisara Tendo, Kohina and the other little lolis who had been watching the battle from the side also ran over to join the excitement.
Fortunately, the little lolis were very sensible. After seeing Morin holding Kisara Tendo, they didn't look at Morin with strange eyes. However, being surrounded by them made Morin's head ache a bit. He asked Kohina to manage them, and then used the detection function of his armlet computer (much better than a regular hospital and with much more accurate results) to conduct a comprehensive examination of Kisara Tendo's physical condition first.
A few minutes later, after receiving the test results, Morin looked at Kisara Tendo in his arms, his face showing nothing but astonishment and a trace of pity. "What a stubborn girl... sequelae of kidney failure, and low blood sugar... enduring this condition and still insisting on sparring..."
