Saeko Busujima looked at Onigawara Rin, her brows furrowed as she crossed her arms. "Is what Kiriharu said true?"

"It's absolutely true. The integrated mecha is far more powerful than I believed. Shangcao Fengzi was originally just a second-rate swordsman in our academy, but after obtaining the integrated mecha, her strength and agility increased significantly."

Oniwa Rin's expression looked rather unpleasant.

Kirigaya Suguha then asked, "Even if your strength and agility have both improved, you should still be able to overpower her in terms of technique, so why were you instantly defeated?"

"If their strength were similar to ours, it would be fine, but after they put on their one-piece mechs, it seems they used some kind of technology to stimulate more muscles. This means that even if we have the advantage in technique, we can't gain the upper hand with technique at all, because their strength is too great!"

Mary, with her head down and eyes squinted, recounted the story.

Then, she looked up at the two of them.

"And one of them, in terms of skill, is no less than us; her name is Rukawa Sakura..."

"That's right..."

Oniwa Rin picked up where Kamezuki Mary left off. She turned to look at Kiriharu who was watching from the side and said, "I felt the same kind of pressure from her as I did from Kiriharu."

After she finished speaking...

The five people present were silent for two seconds.

They had all personally experienced just how strong Wu Qing was.

The oppressive feeling, like that of foggy weather, is already a very high compliment!

Then, Saeko Busujima relaxed her furrowed brows slightly, smiled, and spoke.

"If what you say is true, then this year's Jade Dragon Flag Kendo Tournament might be quite interesting."

"Hey, Minister, do you call this interesting? With such a formidable opponent suddenly appearing out of nowhere, our chances of getting a good ranking are even lower, right?"

Kirigaya Suguha expressed his incomprehension.

But Saeko Busujima, Rin Onigawara, and Mary Kamezuki exchanged a knowing smile, their fighting spirit palpable.

For experts like them, rankings are important, but the opportunity to compete against strong opponents is even more important.

Martial arts have always been a relatively pure thing.

Martial artists who reach the pinnacle generally possess a pure heart for martial arts, whether it's a pure desire to become stronger or a pure desire to improve themselves.

In short, a person with distracting thoughts may become very powerful, but they will never reach the pinnacle.

For example, Yujiro Hanma, currently the strongest on Earth.

He believed that physical strength was the only true measure of power.

During the battle against Guo Haihuang.

He once said something like that.

"Secret techniques, secret methods, mystical skills... gravity or energy, those ideas, those schemes. If you compare struggle to matter, it's all impure!"

If we understand it this way, then for Yujiro Hanma, absolute physical strength is the only true essence.

But for Guo Haihuang...

Unparalleled skill is the only true purity.

As for swordsmen like Inaba Tsukiyo...

The pursuit of the pinnacle of swordsmanship is also a pursuit of purity.

Yujiro Hanma defines the standard of purity with his own standards, because he is the strongest in this world, the insurmountable peak in the world of Baki!

But what if one day he is defeated by skill?

When their strength is very close to his.

Using skills far exceeding his own, he was completely defeated in one move before he could adapt.

Is this a victory achieved through skill?

After all, it was assumed that the strength was only slightly weaker.

In short, defeating Yujiro is not impossible.

Because this world is no longer Baki's home turf...

Even in the original work, he was not absolutely invincible.

At least in terms of strength, he is no match for Pike, and Lao Guo was able to break through his defenses. Although it was only a superficial injury, compared to someone like Saitama, he is clearly someone who can be defeated.

If we judge a person's purity in this way, then Wu Qing seems to be quite pure as well.

From beginning to end, all the efforts and thoughts he put into becoming stronger were solely for the sake of absolute freedom in this world.

For absolute freedom.

Therefore, he wants to become the strongest in the world.

Only by becoming the strongest can one be free from all restrictions.

That's pretty pure, isn't it?

"Speaking of which, the Five Swords of the World, who live in harmony with nature, have always been renowned. Countless swordsmen have longed to spar with you, but your school has strict rules and you rarely leave campus. So today seems like a good opportunity to learn from you..."

Suddenly, Saeko Busujima smiled slightly, drew her sword, looked at Onigawara and Mary Kamezuki, and said these words.

In an instant, her aura transformed from that of a polite, wealthy young lady into that of a swordswoman yearning for battle.

Oniwa Rin smiled and raised the sword standing in front of him with one hand, pointing it at Busujima Saeko.

"If you want to learn from me, I'm always ready. This is also a good opportunity to get to know my teammates' skill level."

"That's true. So, you over here, would you like to have a match with me?"

Mary Kamezuki also became interested, drew her rapier, and pointed it at Kirigaya Suguha not far away.

"Hey?"

Upon hearing this, Kirigaya Suguha paused for a moment, then smiled brightly, "It's a bit of a surprise, but of course I can!"

As she spoke, she picked up a replica knife from the side. Although she looked confident, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead betrayed her considerable nervousness.

Chapter 113: It's a real treat to see beautiful girls fighting.

Looking at the scene before her, Wu Qing was not entirely surprised; in fact, she could say it was exactly what she expected.

Saeko Busujima, Suguha Kiritani, Rin Onigawara, and Mary Kamezuki—none of these four beautiful girls are easy to deal with; they all have rather belligerent personalities.

They'll definitely fight if they meet.

Wu Qing had guessed this in her mind before.

"Then I'll fight her first?"

Before the fight, Saeko Busujima also asked Kiriharu a question.

Oniwa Rin looked at Kirishin with a pleased smile, "Kiriishin-kun, I'd like to have a spar with Busujima-kun. You, as the captain, have no objections, right?"

"Has Wu Qing really become the commander-in-chief?"

Although Saeko Busujima had long believed that Kirishi would definitely become the commander of Soubu High School, she had only just found out.

After all, Jiang Ze forgot to tell her this news.

"I have no objection. Rather, this is an opportunity. Teacher Jiang Ze has entrusted me with all the team matters, including position rankings."

Rankings should be based on skill, so just focus on the fight...

Wu Qing shrugged and stepped aside, leaning against the white pillar of the basketball hoop, looking at the four beautiful girls.

"In that case, let's get started!"

As he spoke, Onigawara Rin eagerly took out the replica knife in his hand and approached Saeko Busujima at an extremely fast speed.

Faced with Oniwa's incredibly fast movement speed, an ordinary swordsman would probably be panicking.

But Saeko Busujima, being from a renowned family of swordsmen, remained calm and even smiled with delight.

"bring it on!"

Saeko Busujima grinned, raised her sword, and swung it at Onigawara, who had already arrived in front of her.

The sword strike, accompanied by the sound of wind cutting through the air, was so fast that it left only a blur in the air, slashing straight towards Onigawara's face.

Oniwa Rin had the same calm smile on his face.

She swung the replica swords with both hands, forcefully deflecting Saeko Busujima's slash upwards, and at the same time took a step forward, smoothly transforming the upward slash into a straight thrust.

Saeko Busujima's pretty face changed slightly, but she remained calm overall. She immediately kicked Onigawara Rin.

This kick was perfect and quite elegant, drawing a clear arc in the air before striking Kiwara's side waist.

As Saeko Busujima made this move, the scenery below her was completely seen by Kiriharu, who was watching from the sidelines.

Is today black?

Wu Qing was also forced to admire that perfect body, the perfect curves taut during exercise.

However, his main attention was focused on the battle between the two beautiful girls.

Because Saeko Busujima and Rin Onigawara are of similar strength, he needs to observe them more closely.

As for Kirigaya Suguha and Kamezuki Mary.

Wu Qing, on the other hand, thought the outcome was already predictable.

After all, Kirigaya Suguha's strength is much weaker than Busujima Saeko's, so she is definitely no match for Kamezuki Mary.

Well, in the game world, Kirigaya Suguha might be exceptionally strong, but this is reality.

She might be able to thrive in the game thanks to her naturally fast reflexes.

But in reality, it's not just about reaction speed...

Onigawara, who was about to strike Saeko Busujima, frowned upon the sudden taijutsu and quickly jumped back a step.

"That was close! You've perfectly combined swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. Although some swordsmen don't approve of your Busujima-ryu method, believing that swordsmanship that incorporates hand-to-hand combat isn't pure, I think it's really strong!"

Oniwa Rin breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

She had long heard of the uniqueness of the Poison Island School.

Unlike typical kendo styles, the Busujima school requires its users to train in combat techniques in addition to swordsmanship.
