Chapter 21 - Touma Vs Kaori/Stiyl 2

Kaori's mouth fell open, she didn't expect that there was an ordinary human other than Hiko Seijuro who could physically match her. And coincidentally the second ordinary human who could match herself in physical strength was the grandson of Hiko Seijuro. (Kaori doesn't know that Touma is Hiko's grandson) There shouldn't be an ordinary human who can match the strength of Saints physically. But the existence of Hiko and Touma proved that ordinary humans can also reach the level of physical strength of Saints.

"Kanzaki Kaori, Saint of Necessarius if you try to knock me out using just the back of your too long sword, it will all be in vain," Touma said who was still holding the tip of Kaori's sword between his fingers. "Because that kind of attack, won't be enough to beat me!"

"Tssk, you are the second person who can physically match me, there shouldn't be an ordinary human who can match Saints in physical strength but you and also Hiko Seijuro who defeated me in a one-on-one battle proved the Saints that said have an invincible physical strength is a lie," Kaori said as she pulled her two meter long katana from Touma's two fingers and put it back into its sheath. "And since you know that Stiyl and I are in this place even though we've both used the Opila Rune, that means you're not an ordinary person.

And since you also live in that inn, you must have known about the two of us from Index."

"Kanzaki we could use him to retrieve Index from the inn's territory which we absolutely cannot enter," Stiyl said who was standing behind Kaori. "Because he can freely enter the inn's territory."

"Good idea, Stiyl," Kaori said with a smile. "Since your magic is useless against him, you help me as a support just in case if I having a hard time fighting againts him."

"Tch fine," Stiyl said who was annoyed that he couldn't fight. (Even though he was afraid of Touma, but since Stiyl believed that Kaori could defeat Touma the fear disappeared a bit.) "But defeat him quickly, so we can hypnotize him into bringing Index to both of us."

Kaori nodded her head, then paused for a while to concentrate. So that she could concentrate her strength better in the fight against Touma.

Touma who knew that this time, Kaori would fight him more seriously, immediately put on special gloves that could produce fire in both hands. Where on the two gloves are two different alchemy symbols that can be used to manipulate air.

Touma also took out Sakabato's katana which he had hidden earlier using Moose's hidden weapon technique which he learned in his previous life as Ranma, just in case he had to clash swords with Kaori.

With a speed that surpassed what an ordinary human could see, Kaori slashed through the air near Touma's chest. Unfortunately for Touma who has been practicing the super swordsmanship tehnique since he was a little kid. He could still see the slashing speed of Kaori's sword though not completely, so Touma could easily block Kaori's attack using Sakabato.

'The slashes aren't as fast as grandpa's, but I'm still having a little trouble seeing the girl's slashing speed,' Touma said with sweat running down his cheeks. 'If I hadn't been trained in swordsmanship by grandfather from a young age, the effects of that attack would have been fatal and could have killed me!'

Seeing that his attack could be blocked by Touma, Kaori became even more irritated. And that irritation made Kaori decide to fight more seriously.

Stiyl Magnus, feel suspicious with the strange symbol on Touma's glove. Because the symbol is somewhat similar to a magic circle. But Stiyl was sure that he had never seen the symbol before. And Stiyl secretly created an illusion of himself using his magic to fool Touma. So that he could draw the symbol on paper without being noticed by Touma or Kaori who fought fiercely so that he could investigate what the function of the symbol would be.

Apart from secretly drawing the Flame Alchemy symbol, Stiyl also prepared the strongest technique that Innocentius possessed. Which he believes will be able to defeat Touma if he can attack Touma secretly without being noticed.

This time Kaori did a slash at the maximum speed her body could do, which was almost equivalent to ten percent of Hiko's speed with Iai.

From the result of Kaori's slash, a small typhoon appeared and the typhoon sliced ​​everything in its path.

*Nanasen Kaori's signature technique which uses a special steel yarn.

Touma seemed to remain calm, and didn't panic at all even though there was a small typhoon flying towards him. And when the Typhoon was right in front of Touma, he with a movement that looked very smooth cut the seven kamaitachi formed from the Typhoon using a typical Hitenmitsurugi movement that requires a fast, flexible and strong body in order to anticipate attacksenemy.

And right after Touma stopped all of Kaori attacks. He dashing quickly at Kaori using the combined *quick move technique of Hiten Mitsurugi and Anything Goes Martial Arts.

*Sukuchi

Touma who was moving so fast, was something that Kaori couldn't anticipate. So when Touma was in front of her and ready to slash her with Sakabato, Kaori having a hard time to defend the attack.

Kanzaki Kaori, couldn't believe what she was seeing right before her eyes. Nanasen, one of her special techniques that combines slashes and iron threads can be stopped easily by the enemy she is currently fighting. So far there is only one person who can withstand Nanasen is Hiko Seijuro, the first ordinary human to defeat her. And now there's one more person.

While there were seven iron threads flying towards him at high speed, Touma of course had to move very carefully. So that it doesn't hit him. In his past as Ranma, he had never encountered an attack technique like Nanasen.

But thanks to practicing the Hitenmitsurugi technique and Anything Goes Martial Art simultaneously in his second life. Touma's body became flexible enough to withstand Nanasen and then cut that tehnique.

Right now Touma was ready to slash his sword at Kaori using Ryūtsuisen. Right after he got in front of Kaori, Touma jumped quite high in the air then used gravity to amplify the two-handed sword slash that aimed for Kaori's shoulder.

And Kaori who didn't expect the attack at all didn't have time to block Touma's attack. And if it weren't for her immense endurance, Kaori would have broken her arm from Touma's attack.

Kaori gritted her teeth, due to the pain she received from the Ryūtsuisen technique Touma aimed at her. And by using a 0.1 second pause right after Touma finished his attack. Kaori kicked Touma's stomach using her right foot, which Touma was able to block just in time using the back og Sakabato.

But because Kaori's kick was so strong, Touma's body was thrown back ten meters. Even Touma's arms and palms were shaking from Kaori's kick.

'That girl really is a monster! If I'm too late to withstand her kicks even a little bit, I'll definitely get very serious internal injuries,' Touma said with cold sweat running down his cheeks..
