Straight Man of Steel Longinus?

After the battle between Longinus and Tokikake was over, the others had little desire to verify that ranking's credibility.

They were still immersed in the previous battle and couldn't get out of it. This level of fighting was quite rare, even in this headquarters.

The only pity is that Tokikake is so lacking in stamina!

"What would it be like if... Tokikake and Gion teamed up to take on Longinus?" Some fair-minded people want to get into it.

Also, many people have noticed that none of the G2 branches have been ranked lower than 100, which is a bit scary, as no branch has ever been able to do that.

The two guys named T. Bone and Gregory, in particular, are even ranked within twenty, almost as good as the strongest guys in the other branches.

"Was it the G2 branch that had a character outburst, or was it the man at ... that brought about the change?"

Just as the crowd gradually dispersed, a cold voice sounded.

"Ensign Longinus, one moment, please."

Longinus stopped and turned around to see a tall young woman standing in front of him, a pair of clear eyes shining brightly, reddish lips slightly parted, and silky black hair blowing in the wind.

"Well, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this, last time, although I conveyed my apologies, it wasn't formal enough, and I'd rather apologize to you in person, I'm sorry."

"Never mind, I didn't ..." Longinus replied habitually, then was suddenly startled, "Wait, why are you apologizing to me?"

"Cough cough ..."

The gossipers around the room nearly choke on their spit. What the hell are the rest of you? You're not on the same channel at all!

Gregory, on the other hand, was looking at the others with a leap in his eyes, and the meaning was exact, "See, I knew it had to be the other guy forcing the boss."

Gion said thoughtfully, "Because I accidentally read a book about you, I subconsciously thought that you made all those things up, and that's why I thought you were a despicable person who would do anything to get what he wants. Jumping to conclusions without exploring the truth of the matter, the previous me was too bad. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"In some sense, I am!" Longinus sighed under his breath, then said warmly and zealously, "It's all right; time will tell."

Gregory, who considered himself Longinus' number one underling, said irritably, "You should indeed take a good look around the seas near our branch, does the boss's reputation require that? It's a spontaneous compilation of records by those who admire the boss."

"Although your popularity in this headquarters is not low, in terms of popularity, a hundred of you can't keep up with the boss!"

Gion didn't get angry after hearing this, but instead looked at Longinus with admiration and conviction and said, "To be able to get those people to do this spontaneously, it seems that Ensign Longinus is truly carrying out justice in his own beliefs, and I'm far from that ...! "

"So, if Ensign Longinus can let me experience the power of your faith, although it's a bit abrupt, please make sure that Longinus-san agrees to my request, please!"

"Experience the power of ... faith?" Gregory poked his arm at Abraham next to him and asked, "What do she mean, she's trying to get the boss to give her a lecture on the way things work?"

"Idiot, she's just asking for a challenge!" Abraham gave him a helpless look.

"Huh?" Gregory looked at Gion with significant irritation, "After all this talk, is that what she wants?"

"But if she thinks she can pick up a bargain, she's mistaken, that fight wasn't even a warm-up for the boss!"

The crowd around them also gathered again, and although they could not understand any of the quotations that were not quotations, the meaning of the invitation to battle in that last sentence was solidly clear to them.

"The Power of Faith ..." asked Longinus looking the same, "Then think about it, combat is sacred, and I'm not holding back just because you're a girl!"

"Exactly, that's what I'm hoping for, even though it's a fight with no chance of winning, I still want to see the difference between myself and the top, please!"

"Well, I've never fought against a swordsman before, and this has been an extremely rare experience for me!"

Longinus gets back to where he was fighting earlier and waits for his opponent to attack.

Gion took a deep breath and bowed slightly at the waist, placing her left hand against the sword's blade and her right hand on the hilt at her waist, "The famous sword, Konpira, is not inferior in edge to 21 O Wazamono, please be careful!"

The moment the words fell, the Gion had appeared before Longinus's eyes, the sword sheathed in a steeply brought storm sweeping in, the splendid decapitation implying a deadly edge.

"Hakuhodo Chop?" As if he hadn't seen it coming, Longinus was avoiding the attack with astonishing speed.

Gion didn't care. Since she knew that her opponent was proficient in Kenbunshoku Haki and his speed was not at all below her own, she naturally couldn't put all her hopes on that strike.

"Death-Sonata!"

Layers and layers of saber strikes converged together, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the illusory.

As if thorns beneath the roses, hidden beneath that rosy dance, is a deadly killing machine.

Longinus hurriedly dodged, and each time he just escaped, the ground beneath his feet was destroyed by the deadly sword, like a piece of dance music performed on the tip of a blade, watching the crowd who hid at a distance.

"How is that possible? It's Gion that has the upper hand?" A recruit asked incredulously.

If it had been before today, at least half a dozen people would have sided with Gion, but after the battle between Longinus and Tokikake, no one would have thought Gion was a match for Longinus.

But looking at this situation, something doesn't seem right!

"The struggle between Physical Skills and Swordsmanship is inherently one in which Swordsmanship prevails. Longinus can take a hard attack from Tokikake, but he can't take any cut in the same way, not to mention that Gion's sword is still famous in her hand no less than 21 O Wazamono, take a sword, and the fight is almost over!"

"No ... is not right! If you look closely, you can see that Gion's stamina was depleted very quickly during this high-intensity battle, but Longinus didn't even disrupt his breathing by a fraction."

"How is that possible? How is it possible that you can read the trajectory of every one of my swords? Even if you have Kenbunshoku Haki, you can't see through my attack completely!" What they could find out, Gion wouldn't ignore, and in horror, spoke out.

Indeed, with the lack of Busoshoku Haki, a robust physical fighter of the same level would generally be intimidated against a swordsman.

But Longinus was different, in addition to Kenbunshoku Haki, he was a swordsman himself, and even had a greater understanding of swordplay than Gion.

The Gion's attack failed utterly due to a lack of intent.

"It's not a wise thing to get distracted in the middle of a battle!" Instead of answering, Longinus made a note life-like choice, catching his opponent's opening and blasting Gion's soft body hundreds of meters away with a shoulder strike.

"Hiss!" The freshmen around them all shouted out in shock. However, they knew that Longinus' choice was the right one. In this training camp, all girls are scarce resources, let alone a goddess' treasure like Gion, and Longinus' "destructive behavior" was instantly hit by them. Thus all of them immediately decided that Longinus should be the one to be punished! The "Straight Steel" label came in.

At the same time, they were rejoicing in their hearts that their strongest competitor could have a negative score to roll rough!
