Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 49 - Continuous Exercise
Nagato and Litha looked enthusiastic when they saw Azai, Kuina and Serlin were going to fight each other. Hyogoro's grandfather referees in sparring practice.
Hyogoro's grandfather prayed to the creator before they began this sparring practice, Azai, Kuina and Serlin also prayed. After finishing praying Grandpa Hyogoro explained the rules and reminded that this was just a practice, then told the two people to come forward.
Kuina advanced simultaneously with Azai, the girl used her beloved sword while Azai also used her sword.
"Near!" Hyogoro's grandfather was in the middle of his front yard and told the two of them to come closer.
"Remember, the rules and you remember Azai don't be too hard on Kuina!" Grandpa Hyogoro purposely said that in order for Kuina to unleash all her strength.
"Azai, don't hesitate to attack me if you hold back just because I'm a woman I won't forgive you!" Kuina smiled cynically at Azai with a slightly witty tone.
Azai only nodded slowly after which the two of them saluted Grandpa Hyogoro then took some distance. Hyogoro's grandfather noticed them after the distance from the two was quite far, Grandpa Hyogoro closed his eyes while breathing out and then Grandpa Hyogoro's right foot kicked using his foot knife.
"Start ... "
When Grandpa Hyogoro's aba was heard, Azai looked at Kuina and did not let down the slightest caution.
On the other hand Kuina, slowly advancing every movement pairs of art that Kuina practiced would look beautiful and filled, even the girl looked like she was dancing.
"Clean." Kuina took a breath while closing her eyes while her hand held her beloved sword which was still sheathed in her arms.
Azai, who saw and felt the air around Kuina change, used her tides to hold on as her hand held the sword she still had on her waist.
"Clean." Azai also worked on breathing and closed his eyes while trying to feel the air around him so that he could detect Kuina's movements.
"The Dance of the Red Rose."
Kuina moved quickly until the girl was behind Azai, the scent of roses was smelled around Azai and rose leaves were flying around Azai, when Kuina was about to turn her body around, Azai opened his eyes quickly.
Kuina darted forward towards Azai and quickly swung her sword from left to right, sometimes Kuina also did a trick slash that left Azai's hand scratched slightly, aware of himself being in an unfavorable position Azai immediately jumped up and retreated back a few steps.
"Basic Steps 16 A2: The Green's Anger."
Azai stared at the rose leaves that were still flying around Kuina, the rose leaves were like a protector to the girl even if they hit Azai's body, visible scratches wound due to exposed rose leaves like razor blades.
Azai quickly slashed every flying rose towards him, after which Azai twisted his body holding back Kuina's sword slash. The sound of swords touching each other sounded so loud that the animals living around Grandpa Hyogoro's house came to see the two of them fighting.
Kuina smiled as her slash was being held back by Azai, the girl was processing her breathing while trying to let out an aura within her body, slowly, Kuina's entire body seemed to be enveloping her like smoke, but the aura was not yet large enough and dense, the aura belonging to Kuina was pink. Azai frowned seeing that even Serlin and Grandpa Hyogoro were a little surprised.
Kuina channeled her aura on her sword, so that her beloved sword gave off a pink light that coated her blade.
"Without Lust Without Breath!"
Kuina took a breath, then she moved quickly to slash her sword at Azai, the girl swung her sword from right to left even a few times Kuina made a twisting motion of her body that made a small pink whirlwind but every slash of Kuina was able to be well held back by Azai.
"Damn! Kuina is very serious, does she want to kill me!" inner Azai who was trying to keep holding back Kuina's sword swing. Even the fight they both made the wind blow around them to make dust that spread quickly throughout the yard of Grandpa Hyogoro's house.
"Tiger Awaits : Predator of Life."
This time Azai tried to attack, the two fought quite fiercely when Kuina and Azai were about to use their strongest moves, Grandpa Hyogoro noticed then told the two of them to stop.
Azai and Kuina adjusted their breaths of gasping breath, after their breaths returned to normal, Azai and Kuina saluted Grandpa Hyogoro then they both shook hands.
After a few minutes later Grandpa Hyogoro told Serlin and Kuina to come forward, now the two girls will fight each other.
Kuina and Serlin saluted Grandpa Hyogoro after which they both retreated taking distance, when stepping back Serlin had already cast her magic spell.
"Start ... "
"Clean." Serlin breathes.
"O ancestor of the sacred forest, the bearer of destiny, snow white as white as the mountains of the north, lend me the strength of the wind spirit, the voice of the north wind, the voice that brings storms, breathes and destroys, and, Destroy them all!"
"The Holy Wind Ring."
"The Holy Wind Arrow"
When dozens of arrows appeared above Serlin and pointed at her, Kuina also worked her breathing and channeled her aura on her blade.
"Clean." Kuina worked her breathing out while closing her eyes for a while then opened her eyes looking intently at Serlin.
Dozens of arrows that Serlin shot out quickly towards him, Kuina smiled faintly then the girl slashed all of Serlin's arrows to the point of breaking in two.
"As I thought it won't affect you, Kuina!" muttered Serlin then the magical girl unleashed a fireball magic directed at Kuina.
"Serlin .." Kuina muttered as she saw dozens of fireballs darting rapidly towards her. Kuina focused and channeled her inner power on both legs then the girl dodged every fireball attack with a step filled with art movements so it looked beautiful when the girl jumped to and fro dodging the ball magic the fire belonged to Serlin, the fight between the two girls was arguably quite fierce, not long Kuina was right in front of Serlin. When Kuina was in front of him and was about to swing her sword, Serlin only smiled faintly looking at her opponent.
"Magic: Storm." Serlin took out her body magic, Kuina's eyes widened to see Serlin's magic, the girl clenched her teeth as she was carried away and swallowed by the whirlwind.
'Sorry my sweet cat, I won't lose as easily as you think!' Serlin stared intently at Kuina who was above because she was swallowed by her magic storm.
"Clean." Kuina took care of her breathing while she was still upstairs.
"The Scent of Jasmine."
Kuina pulled out her sword stance combined with breathing, the girl's swordplay looked beautiful but Serlin was able to withstand Kuina's sword slash as she used her protective magic.
"Protection!"
Serlin's protective magic coated his body forming a protective circle that made Kuina unable to slash the girl.
"Enough, stop!" Hyogoro's grandfather told them both to stop.
Kuina and Serlin smiled at each other, the two girls walked up to Grandpa Hyogoro and saluted and then the two girls shook hands to forgive each other because all they did just now was a match practice.
"Kuina, you intend to kill me!" Serlin hugged his friend's body.
"Darkl? I admit you're hard to beat a weird witch!" Kuina tried to let go of Serlin's embrace.
"That is my greatness .. cing .. my sweetness!" serlin whispered softly in Kuina's ear then the girl bit Kuina's ear slowly.
Kuina blushed her face but in her heart she felt annoyed with Serlin, then Kuina's evil intentions appeared on Serlin.
"Hmmm ... " Kuina bit back Serlin's ear while muttering softly, making Serlin become embarrassed even the girl's face reddened because Kuina reciprocated her actions.
Kuina smiled evilly at Serlin, then the girl moved away from the courtyard of the house they used for the sparring just now.
This time it was Kuina's turn to referee when Azai was going to face Grandpa Hyogoro.
"Azai, Grandpa, remember the rules, right?" kuina said to Azai and Grandpa Hyogoro.
Grandpa Hyogoro and Azai nodded slowly after which they both saluted Kuina then took some distance, Azai's eyes fixed on the sword sheathed on Grandpa Hyogoro's waist.
"That sword doesn't seem to be an indiscriminate sword!" inner Azai while looking at Grandpa Hyogoro was full of vigilance.
"Start ... "
When Kuina's aba-ba began, Azai advanced slowly while breathing out. Hyogoro's grandfather pulled out his sword as his blade appeared to be a bright light blue.
"Clean." Azai worked on his breathing and then he focused his inner energy on both of his legs.
"Tiger Awaits : Predator of Life."
Azai quickly got in front of Grandpa Hyogoro and twisted his body then he slashed his sword with all his might towards Grandpa Hyogoro.
The slash of Azai's sword looked like a tiger's claw that shot rapidly towards Grandpa Hyogoro, but it was easily pushed aside by Grandpa Hyogoro.
Azai continued to slash at Grandpa Hyogoro, swinging his sword from left to right then alternating from the opposite direction as his slash was well held up by Grandpa Hyogoro.
Grandpa Hyogoro's sword blade was coated with water, Azai frowned as every slash of his sword that Grandpa Hyogoro was holding onto was seen splashing water from Grandpa Hyogoro's sword.
"Ancient Weapon?!" muttered Azai while looking at Grandpa Hyogoro with a sharp look.
Azai realized that Grandpa Hyogoro's strength was above him even Grandpa Hyogoro had not used his breathing, deep energy and gave off his body aura.
Azai exerted a deep energy on the sword in his hand and moved forward, unceremoniously giving Grandpa Hyogoro a crushing attack
But Grandpa Hyogoro avoided every attack of Azai and did not do free movement when avoiding the attack, he processed breathing while waiting for an opportunity to attack.
"Ces .. ces .. ces .. ces. ces!"
Grandpa Hyogoro's mouth hissed, as soon as the aura and air around Grandpa Hyogoro changed, Azai retreated a few steps back as she felt the air around Grandpa Hyogoro become hotter.
Hyogoro's grandfather channeled his profound energy into his legs while his aura was channeled into his sword, Azai was breathing out and was about to make a comeback.
"Clean." Azai took a breath and the young man moved quickly to use his sword, and immediately Azai's sword was bright green, he quickly slashed his sword towards Grandpa Hyogoro's body while turning his body but the attack was held back by Grandpa Hyogoro, then Azai swung his sword from top to bottom to launch an attack on Grandpa Hyogoro.
"A Whirlpool."
Hyogoro's grandfather dodged the slash of the sword well then he deflected Azai's sword using his sword to protect his head as Azai floated his sword attack from above, then Grandpa Hyogoro twisted his body when Azai tried to press his sword because he saw Grandpa Hyogoro in a defensive position, immediately came out a whirlpool that revolved like a magic storm belonging to Serlin, Azai was dragged by Grandpa Hyogoro's whirlpool.
Kuina was amazed to see Grandpa Hyogoro's swordplay that was beyond reason, because she easily looked like manipulating water.
"Stop!" kuina shouted, then Azai fell down on the ground but her body was captured by Grandpa Hyogoro.
"Hahaha, I'm overdoing it!" Grandfather Hyogoro laughed because he had not felt this kind of spirit for a long time.
"One day I will definitely defeat grandfather!" Azai bowed her head to Grandpa Hyogoro, then they both saluted Kuina after that both Azai and Grandpa Hyogoro shook hands and embraced each other.
