In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Natsuhiko had adapted to the Shinyang Academy's study life and was slowly settling down in the Shinyang Academy.
At this time, Natsuhiko was holding a bamboo blade and practicing with the other students of Class 2 in the training room.
In the past month, Natsuhiko felt that his spiritual pressure had increased greatly with the consumption of spiritual food. His spiritual pressure was close to the fifth-level.
After training for half an hour, Natsuhiko's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. At this time, the swordsmanship teacher, Kenji Tsuruta, said, "Okay, training is over. Everyone, learn from each other. I'll assign you opponents."
"Renji Asanai, you and Itsuru Kira will be in the same group."
"Isao Kondō, you and Gui Youwu will be in the same group."
"…"
Kenji Tsuruta assigned opponents one by one. Finally, he looked at the last boy, Natsuhiko, who had just turned 12, and said, "Natsuhiko, you and Momo Hinomori will be in the same group."
Natsuhiko was young and not tall. He was only 1.45 meters tall, about ten centimeters shorter than the other boys.
Momo Hinomori was also relatively short among the girls. She was only 1.5 meters tall, but she was older and could be Natsuhiko's opponent.
After assigning the teams, Natsuhiko came in front of Momo Hinomori and stared at Momo Hinomori.
Momo Hinomori was thin and small. Her black hair was tied up behind her head. She had a delicate appearance, fair skin, and a pair of lively eyes.
Compared to Natsuhiko's full attention, Momo Hinomori was a little absent-minded. She thought that Natsuhiko was just a child, so she didn't take it to heart.
Momo Hinomori looked at Natsuhiko and said with a smile, "Natsuhiko, I didn't expect you to be my opponent. Go ahead and attack."
With Momo Hinomori's words, Natsuhiko suddenly stepped out with his right foot. The moment he landed, his left foot followed. At the same time, the Bamboo Blade in his hand smashed down from above, transforming into an afterimage that attacked Momo Hinomori's face.
Bang.
In her haste, Momo Hinomori only had time to raise the Bamboo Blade in front of her before she was hit.
Momo Hinomori's Bamboo Blade nearly slipped out of her hand due to the immense force.
Just as Momo Hinomori tightened her grip on the Bamboo Blade again, Natsuhiko's Bamboo Blade had already struck Momo Hinomori's neck.
Momo Hinomori was stunned. Her face was filled with disbelief, but she quickly turned dispirited.
Natsuhiko retracted his Bamboo Blade and bowed to Momo Hinomori. "Sorry for my lack of manners."
Momo Hinomori was somewhat stunned. She never expected Natsuhiko to be so powerful that he could defeat her in an instant.
It was laughable that she had thought that Natsuhiko was a child and that she was no match for him.
Momo Hinomori's face flushed red when she recalled her performance. When she saw Natsuhiko's matter-of-fact expression, she said indignantly, "Again."
Momo Hinomori once again gripped the Bamboo Blade in her hand as she stared at Natsuhiko with a guarded expression.
She blamed her defeat on her own carelessness. Although her opponent was a genius with a fourth-class Spiritual Pressure, he was short and looked only eleven years old. His arms were thinner than hers. Momo Hinomori believed that as long as she was careful, she wouldn't lose to this brat.
However, just as Momo Hinomori made up her mind, Natsuhiko took another step forward and arrived in front of Momo Hinomori in one step.
As his body moved forward, the Bamboo Blade in his hand slashed down from above. As the Bamboo Blade slashed down, his left and right hands twisted inwards, infusing the strength of his hands into the Bamboo Blade and gathering it at the tip of the blade.
Bang.
Momo Hinomori reacted extremely quickly this time. She blocked in front of her body in time, but following that, a huge force jolted Momo Hinomori's arm numb.
"What great strength."
Momo Hinomori gritted her teeth in shock. This time, Natsuhiko's strength was even greater than the previous time. She really didn't know how this little guy had such great strength, but thankfully, she was prepared and managed to block the strike.
The moment Natsuhiko's Bamboo Blade was blocked, he retreated in time to open up a distance.
There was no doubt about the importance of taking a step back. Natsuhiko already knew that back in the hanger zone, not only was it to avoid the enemy's possible counterattack, but it was also to leave enough distance for a counterattack. He could also adjust his attack pattern according to the enemy's movements.
Natsuhiko took a step back as Momo Hinomori took a step forward and slashed down with her blade.
Natsuhiko took another step back as Momo Hinomori's Bamboo Blade slashed across a centimeter in front of Natsuhiko's nose. At the instant the Bamboo Blade landed, Natsuhiko had already stabbed straight at Momo Hinomori's chest.
Natsuhiko's movements were simple and powerful. He defeated Momo Hinomori with a few simple moves. It was ridiculously easy.
Momo Hinomori looked at the Bamboo Blade in front of her and felt that she had been too careless. She shouldn't have taken the initiative to attack after her opponent had opened up a distance.
"Again."
Momo Hinomori issued another challenge, but after a few moves, Momo Hinomori's neck was struck by Natsuhiko's Bamboo Blade.
"Again."
Momo Hinomori challenged Natsuhiko again and again, but the results were very clear. She would be defeated in less than ten moves each time.
As she became more familiar with Natsuhiko's moves, she was able to withstand more and more moves. However, she could only block in front of him. If she tried to counterattack, she would be defeated in one move.
Momo Hinomori was a little anxious. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and slowly slid down her fair and pretty face.
Momo Hinomori became more and more anxious as she continued to fail. She aimed for an opportunity and stabbed her Bamboo Blade straight at Natsuhiko's chest.
Natsuhiko took a step to the left and easily dodged. The moment he took a step, he swung the Bamboo Blade in his hand horizontally and slashed at Momo Hinomori's neck.
Momo Hinomori tried to block Natsuhiko's Bamboo Blade, but with her speed, she wouldn't be able to block the attack.
Momo Hinomori was anxious. She tried her best to mobilize her strength. Poof! She unconsciously used her Spiritual Power.
After the release of Spiritual Particles, Momo Hinomori's speed increased by several times. She blocked Natsuhiko's horizontal slash with her Bamboo Blade and the huge force knocked Natsuhiko's Bamboo Blade away. At the same time, she slashed her Bamboo Blade.
This slash was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Natsuhiko's face.
Natsuhiko didn't expect Momo Hinomori to use Spiritual Particles. He didn't have time to react and subconsciously moved his body. However, he was still hit in the shoulder.
Kacha.
Momo Hinomori's Bamboo Blade hit Natsuhiko's shoulder and broke Natsuhiko's shoulder bone. He felt a sharp pain.
"Ah!"
Natsuhiko let out a roar and knelt on the ground. He held his shoulder and his face turned pale.
Seeing this scene, Momo Hinomori was stunned. Only then did she realize what she had done.
She wanted to win just now, so she subconsciously used Spiritual Particles and injured Natsuhiko.
"Are, are you okay?"
Momo Hinomori was anxious. She threw down her Wooden Blade and ran to Natsuhiko. When she came to Natsuhiko's side, she was pushed to the ground by a figure.
"Get out of my way."
The person who appeared in front of Natsuhiko was Renji Asanai. He was the one who cared about Natsuhiko the most. The moment Natsuhiko was injured, he came to Natsuhiko's side and supported his body.
Renji Asanai asked anxiously, "Natsuhiko, how do you feel?"
Natsuhiko gritted his teeth and said, "My bones are broken."
Momo Hinomori hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Renji Asanai's face was cold. He glared at Momo Hinomori and scolded angrily, "The teacher has already said that we are not allowed to use Spiritual Force. You used Spiritual Force. I think you did it on purpose."
"I really didn't mean it."
Momo Hinomori's eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to say something, but at this time, the swordsmanship teacher, Kenji Tsuruta, came to Natsuhiko's side and touched Natsuhiko's shoulder. As Natsuhiko moaned more painfully, Kenji Tsuruta sighed and said, "Your shoulder bone is broken and your collarbone is shattered. Your injuries are not light."
Renji Asanai asked anxiously, "What should we do?"
The swordsmanship teacher, Kenji Tsuruta, said calmly, "Don't worry. The Fourth Regiments has a special training class in the Shinyang Academy. The teacher is the leader of the Fourth Regiments's medical aid class. He can treat all kinds of injuries.
Renji Asanai, go and find the teacher. "
"Yes."
Renji Asanai stood up and ran quickly to the medical aid class.
