Walking on the road at night, Dongtang Daohua looked at Jiang Li next to him.
He looked down at his hands with a thoughtful look on his face.
Seeing his absent-minded look, Dongtang Daohua was not angry, but asked with concern.
"I discovered something when I shook hands with Murakami Amane just now."
Jiang Li said thoughtfully: "He has a few calluses on his hands."
"Isn't this normal?"
Tōdō Touka is a bit incomprehensible.
"Everyone has calluses on their hands. Whether they are swordsmen or workers, students also have to write frequently!"
That's right, a swordsman like her must have calluses on her hands. These are the marks left by ten years of sword practice.
"But Murasaki Amane's calluses are not left on the fingertips or the first joint."
Jiang Li spread his fingers and demonstrated to his senior sister.
"Generally speaking, calluses left by students when writing should be on the tips of the index finger, middle finger and other fingers, or on the first joint, but Murasaki Nomiya Amane's calluses are on the third joint, besides the thumb.
It's present on all four outer fingers, but not on the fingertips."
If you practice swordsmanship, you should have calluses on all your knuckles, and even the roots of your fingers.
"What's the meaning?"
Dongdang Daohua showed a puzzled expression.
Only the third joint of the four fingers has calluses.
"Throwing weapons."
Jiang Li put his four fingers together into a fist, leaving a gap between them.
"Clamping a weapon like a rapier in the third joint of the four fingers of both hands and then throwing it out, he should be using such a weapon."
In other words, his spiritual equipment is multiple rapiers.
For example, it is like the black keys used by the agents in the Xingyue world.
Because such a weapon has been used for many years, it only leaves traces on the third joint of the four fingers.
"It's amazing, junior brother, can you actually observe it to this extent?"
Dongdang Touka was amazed at his junior disciple's observation ability.
"Wait a minute, then why did he-?"
She suddenly reacted and her expression suddenly changed.
"This is also my question."
Jiang Li nodded calmly.
"He was fully capable of subduing the prisoner by himself, but he was so frightened that he kept retreating...or, in other words, he pretended to be frightened and kept retreating. There is no doubt that it was a disguise!"
It is impossible for a person with calluses from martial arts training on his hands to be unable to deal with an ordinary random murderer, let alone a knife slasher!
But he disguised himself as a weakling with no strength, and screamed in fright when faced with a mere murderer.
What is his purpose?
"Want to show weakness to the enemy?"
Dongtang Daohua made a guess.
This is a very reasonable guess.
Jiang Li is very famous now. Many students in the academy should know that he has the strength of the Seven-Star Sword King and is a strong candidate for the championship of this year's Seven-Star Sword Dance Festival. It is normal for him to hide something from him.
"But he probably didn't know that we were also there at the time. Why did he show weakness to the enemy?"
Jiang Li pointed out the key.
"That makes sense."
Dongtang Daohua frowned.
I have no idea what his purpose is.
Without any clues, even if Sherlock Holmes comes, he will be caught blind.
"Anyway, let's be wary of him first."
Jiang Li thought for a while, but couldn't think of an answer anyway, so he could only give up thinking and turned to warn Senior Sister Dao Hua.
"From the current point of view, his motives are definitely not pure. He may have planned his encounter with us. We met at the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. We must be careful about him!"
What you should be especially careful about is his abilities.
At present, the only thing they don't know is what his superpower is. If they are not careful, this may become a hidden danger for their defeat.
After all, the Swordsman's abilities are all kinds of strange, and no matter how unbelievable they are, they are not completely impossible. No one knows what monsters will suddenly pop out of any corner, so you must be careful at all times.
"I see."
Dongtang Daohua nodded solemnly.
"If we don't talk about this, let's go to karaoke first!"
"Junior brother, you are really..."
…………
Not to mention singing all night long.
On the morning of the fourth day of training, the two returned to the training venue together.
Todo Touka went back to class, while Jiang Li found Kagami Kusakabe.
"Kagame, give me a list."
"Please take a look!"
The reporter girl handed Jiang Li a list of representative contestants from each school in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.
Jiang Li took it and looked at it carefully.
There was no need to look at the list of Pojun Academy. Jiang Li immediately looked for the list of Jumen Academy.
Among the six candidates, Tsuruya Mikoto is recognized as the strongest at Jumon Academy. She is currently in her third year of high school and was also among the top eight in the last Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival. She is still very strong.
The other four people are not worth mentioning, and the last name is surprisingly Zi Naomiya Tianyin.
"It is indeed him."
Jiang Li nodded secretly.
It seems that the part about being the representative player of Jumon Academy is not a lie.
But when Jiang Li looked back, he found that there was very little information about Zi Naigong Tianyin.
There is no hierarchy.
Don't know about superpowers.
I don't even know the usual methods.
The paper contained only basic information such as name and age, and the information about the swordsman was completely zero.
"Kagame, this is the only information about this person?"
"Is it Murasaki Amane from Jumon Academy?"
Kagami Kusakabe pointed her finger at her chin, thinking for a moment.
"There is really very little information about him. Even the few people who are the representative players of Jumon Academy don't know him at all. Only the teacher who selected him should know his strength, right?"
"Oh, but there is one thing."
Kagami suddenly moved and his expression became serious.
"The record of Murasaki Amane's record is very strange."
Although there has never been any actual combat, there will still be mock battles within each academy, about five or six times a semester, just like midterm exams and final exams.
"Zenonomiya Amane's six simulated battles were all won without a fight!"
Either he sprained his foot suddenly, he suffered from food poisoning, or there was a sudden emergency at home... No matter which time, the opponent would be absent due to various reasons, allowing Murasaki Nomiya Amane to easily win consecutive games in the simulated battle.
win.
Very weird!
"Is it because of the sword's special ability?"
Jiang Li fell into deep thought and frowned deeply.
To be honest, this behavior reminded him of someone.
Royal foam.
The vice-president of Pojun Academy, Senior Sister Touka and the rich girl Kanata, although they are ordinary D-class knights, their sword-cutting skills "Absolute Uncertainty" have the terrifying ability to interfere with fate.
As long as he is willing, he can let his opponent go out before the battle for various reasons, and he can win without a fight.
Zi Naomiya Tianyin's performance is very similar to Yuzu Bupa's ability!
Jiang Li continued to look at the lists of other schools. He had wanted to know about this year's opponents.
