"But the opponent is one of his senior sisters. No matter what, he will not save any face."
Dongtang Daohua shook his head.
It is true that junior brother likes to engage in some social activities, but he will never do that kind of thing to his own people.
Even if I have never met Asaki Tada before, or even heard of her, for the sake of my master, I will still spar with her, give her some pointers, and then defeat her with dignity.
"Then why now?"
Guidehara Kanata had a subtle feeling of losing.
Sure enough, in terms of understanding Jiang Li, she could never compare to Dao Hua.
"He killed Asagi Tata instantly, he must have wanted to quickly advance to the next round!"
Dongtang Daohua thought for a moment and then concluded.
"Sure enough, only you can guess his thoughts correctly."
Xijing Ningyin's expression remained calm, but she curled her lips silently.
at the same time.
"Because player Kiriko Yakushi from Renzada Academy abstained, player Amane Murasaki from Akatsuki Academy automatically advances to the next round! The second round ends here!"
The host glanced at his watch and felt a pain in his balls.
According to Niang Xipi, there were a total of four games in the second round, which took less than an hour, not even half of the original plan.
Since when have there been so few players?
"Then we will rest for half an hour and start the third round of this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival on time at 8:30! This round of competition is the finals of each competition area. A total of four qualifying contestants will be decided to enter the final half of the conference.
Finals! Please don’t go away..."
Half an hour?
After coming off the playing field, Jiang Li pondered for a moment, and instead of returning to the auditorium, he walked in another direction.
Medical room.
At this time, Kurogete Ikki was lying on the hospital bed. He had reduced the activity of his internal organs and blood to a minimum, striving to recover the most physical strength in the shortest possible time.
Hearing on the radio that the third round of competition would take place half an hour later, Kurogane Ikki's heart suddenly tightened.
His opponent in the next game is quite difficult.
Putting aside the magic power, your physical strength must be restored to the point where you can move!
But the buffer time is only half an hour left!
He had just used a Rakshasa sword, squeezing all the magic power and physical strength from his body, and he had no time to recover in just half an hour!
Kurogane Ikki gritted his teeth tightly.
In any case, he must appear after half an hour, no matter how recovered he is!
Even if it is just a struggle, he will struggle to the end!
"How is the status?"
Just when his heart was tightening, the door was opened.
Jiang Li walked in.
"It can't get any worse."
Kuroyuki Ikki came back to his senses, temporarily put aside the tension in his heart, and smiled bitterly.
I just died last night, finally came back to life, and am now facing such a difficult situation again.
Is he destined to be too old this year?
"Sure enough, half an hour is not enough to recover."
Jiang Li looked at Kurogie Ikki.
From his face, he could already see through his current state.
Fortunately, he made this trip specially.
"Drink this."
Jiang Li took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and threw it to Kurogane Ikki.
"This is?"
Kurogane Ikki quickly reached out to take it and asked inexplicably.
He had no doubt that the potion was poisonous, but he didn't understand why Jiang Li suddenly took out a bottle of potion at this juncture.
"Drink this, and your physical strength and magic power should be restored to their peak in a short time."
Jiang Li vaguely went through issues such as his origins.
"There is such a thing?"
Kuroyuki Ikki's face was filled with shock, his pupils constantly shaking.
If he had this thing, his one-sword Shura stunt would never be limited to once a day in the past!
"Wouldn't it be too wasteful for me to use such an expensive potion?"
Kurogane Ikki looked hesitant.
He understood the importance of this potion very well.
To put it bluntly, this is definitely something that can save lives at critical moments!
It was precisely because he understood the importance that he hesitated.
How could he use such a treasure in such a place?
"It will be mass-produced in the future, you don't have to worry about this."
Jiang Li waved his hands nonchalantly.
Mass production?!
Is the world of swordsmen finally about to face its biggest impact in decades?
The black iron shimmers and shakes again and again.
"But would it be unfair to other players if I were asked to take such a potion?"
Although he understood that the potion was not too precious, Kurogane Ikki still could not make up his mind.
Everyone is a player standing on the same stage.
Naturally, we must meet the challenge in the most fair manner.
The reason why he became like this was due to his own ability.
If one takes such a potion, wouldn't it be very unfair to the opponent in the next battle?
"Your shortcoming is that sometimes you worry too much!"
Jiang Li clicked his tongue and scolded him unceremoniously.
"If losing this game doesn't matter to you, then you can just throw away the potion!"
Kurogane Ikki remained silent.
He just subconsciously grasped the potion bottle with both hands.
How can it be possible that it doesn’t matter if you lose?
The Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is not only related to his future, but also the agreement between him and Stella!
After a pause, Jiang Li sighed again.
"And, do you really think this game is fair?"
"……What's the meaning?"
Kurogane Ikki raised his head, his eyes focused.
"Do you think it was an accident that you met the one-armed swordsman?"
Jiang Li crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door, just sneering to himself.
"You really died once. Although you were rescued by Yakushi Kiriko, Miss Kiriko and Su Shizuku were forced to withdraw from the competition. Then today's schedule was suddenly changed, and it coincidentally targeted you...
After hearing so much, you should have the answer in your mind, right?"
That's right.
It seems that all changes have reasons, but when put together, they become inevitable.
This change is like the intervention of fate itself.
"If nothing else, this interference should be aimed at me."
Jiang Li said coldly.
Although it was a guess, his expression was very determined.
Interference from fate, the first target should be him.
However, this interference was ineffective because he was carrying a special artifact.
And Kurogane Ikki, Kurogane Ju Shizuku, Yakushi Kiriko and others were implicated.
They didn't have such a magical weapon, so they fell into the trap one after another.
The reason why Tōdou Touka is fine...is only for now.
The reason why the current schedule is so targeted at Kurogane Ikki is probably due to the interference of fate.
"That's all I've said."
Jiang Li turned around and opened the door.
"How you choose is up to you."
Having said this.
Jiang Li disappeared from the medical room.
Kuroyuki Ikki retracted his gaze from his back, lowered his head, and focused on the potion bottle.
His eyes quickly became firm, he raised the bottle and drank the potion in one gulp.
