I am a student of the Yumekan style of fighting, the 'Flying Swallow Fighting Technique'.

　Yumeban-ryu is a fighting art that Ryuji Takase, the 56th-ranked fighter, has also studied. It is a martial art that focuses on bare-handed fighting techniques, but also teaches weapon techniques such as stick fighting, club fighting, and sickle fighting.

"Oh, you are learning the art of flying sword fighting? Let me see how good you are."

　The instructor said that there would be a mock battle. It seemed to be a fight between "Raisoku-jutsu" of the Shinpo-ryu swordsmanship and "Hien-toujutsu" of the Yumekan-ryu fighting technique.

　Weapons such as airsoft swords used in sports chanbara are used to simulate high-speed combat. This is because even a bamboo sword can cause serious injury when struck at high speed.

I suggest everyone take a good look at it."

　The instructor apparently decided to conduct a mock battle to demonstrate the usefulness of "Top Speed". Chika activates her "Super Speed Vision" and "Top Speed," which she has been practicing to get a good look at.

　Ninomiya and the instructor faced each other with their mock battle weapons. At the same time, they activated "Top Speed" and began to move. Ninomiya was the first to move.

　He ran out with flying speed and tried to slam his mock sword into the instructor's shoulder. However, the instructor's mock sword caught the attack and pushed it back.

　Pushed back, Ninomiya lost his balance and took three steps backward. Then the instructor's mock sword struck him. Ninomiya hurriedly ducked, but he did so in a way that left no room for error.

　Watching the two of them in a mock battle, Chika noticed one thing. Their movements are a combination of simple movements. They move forward as if they were flying, slow down to attack, and when they are attacked, they either catch the attacker or avoid it to the left or right and counterattack.

　The speed has increased, but the movements seem to have become simpler. Both "Raisenjutsu" and "Hienjutsu" were probably rudimentary. Even so, the students who were observing the event looked amazed.

　They would certainly be about six times faster. They are faster than Chika, who can only increase her speed to five times her speed, but I don't think Chika would lose in a fight against them.

　Their mock battle was settled by the instructor striking a blow to Ninomiya's torso. Chika applauds after releasing the "Top Speed" spell.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

　The other students applauded. Ninomiya dropped back with a frustrated look on his face.

How is it? Top Speed" would be great if you could master it.

　The students nodded at the instructor's words.

　Ninomiya looks at Chika.

You are a C-level adventurer, aren't you? You're a C-level adventurer, so you should have mastered the High-Speed Combat Technique. Let's see if you're as good as I am."

　Chika frowned involuntarily. She had thought that her high-speed combat was far from over.

My 'high speed combat technique' is too immature to showcase."

　Hearing this, the instructor turns his attention to Chika.

We are all inexperienced. Still, it would be helpful if you could showcase it for others to see."

　A martial artist of the past would definitely refuse, but the enemy of a magic-armor wizard is a demon, not a human being. If an instructor tells you to do something, you can't refuse.

　Besides, "Gale Dance" was not something that was so simple that one could understand its art just by seeing it once.

I understand.

Then come and have a mock battle with me."

　Ninomiya interjects.

Let me do the mock battle with Mr. Mifune.

That's fine, but what about you, Mr. Mifune?"

No problem.

　Chika decided to have a mock battle with Ninomiya and picked up a mock sword. As before, the two of them took up their positions and waited for the signal to begin.

　The instructor's "Begin! Chika activates "Top Speed" at the sound of the instructor's voice. She then activated "Super Speed Vision" as well. Looking at Ninomiya, she had not yet finished activating "Top Speed.

　I thought I could easily defeat Ninomiya at this moment, but my objective is to demonstrate the "High Speed Combat Technique" to the other students, so I wait.

　Finally, Ninomiya moved at high speed and stepped into Chika's space with a linear movement. She parries a mock sword strike from directly above her with the same mock sword and fires a slash at Kesagake as a counterattack.

　Ninomiya jumped back with a panicked pounce. Chika started running after Ninomiya. It is a unique movement of "gale dance," a way of running in which the body is kept in a low posture so that it does not float.

　Ninomiya released a high-speed cleave toward Chika, who was about to step into slashing distance. Chika takes a complicated step to stop stepping in. It is difficult to stop in a tight spot when moving at high speed, so this is a gait that exists to solve this problem.

　Chika strikes to the torso against Ninomiya, whose cleave is cut off in the air. Ninomiya catches it with a desperate look. Chika calmly swings her mock sword and attacks Ninomiya.

　Ninomiya jumped back again with a pounce, readied his mock sword, and launched a series of attacks at a furious pace. The attacks were faster than Chika's, but Chika, who is using "super-speed vision," could see them clearly.

　With minimal movement, he avoided Ninomiya's slash. The instructor and the students who were observing the performance expressed their surprise. It took a high level of skill to be able to avoid an opponent's attack so brilliantly. Those who were watching could sense the high level of skill.

　At that time, a strong wind blew on the training ground. A golden osmanthus that was blooming in one corner of the training ground

fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus)

The petals of the flower are blown up by the wind and fall on the place where Chika and her friends are fighting.

　Chika, who is in accelerated time, thought it was beautiful. Orange petals dancing slowly in the air created a fantastic view. In the midst of it all, the presence of Ninomiya, breathing on her shoulders with her eyes lifted up, was disturbing.

　Chika stepped in time with Ninomiya, who was rushing at her at high speed, and just barely avoided Ninomiya's mock sword, cleaving her torso. With a clean slash, Ninomiya fell.

　When Chika released the magic of "Top Speed" after she had regained her breath, there was a loud whirlwind of applause.

Mifune, that was some fine 'high speed fighting'. What school is this?"

　The instructor asked.

It is the "Gale Dance" of Nankuru-ryu karate.

"Karate, huh? That's unusual."

　Ninomiya was knocked unconscious. It seems that even a mock sword with almost no weight had the power to create that much impact.

　Chika was admired by the other students, but she did not increase. This was because her goals were Master Mitsuhashi and Grimm.
