Chapter 41: Competition

...St. Freya Academy training ground.

"Come on, Mei, just use all your strength. Don't worry about hurting me."

After moving her wrist and making a sword flutter, Bai Mo signaled Mei to attack her with all her strength.

"Okay! Then, Bai Mo, be careful!"

Taking out the wooden sword for training, Mei chuckled and then rushed directly towards Bai Mo.

"Bang... Bang!"

The collision between the long sword and the sword produced a crisp sound, and as the speed of the two swinging their swords and blades increased, this sound was endless.

Dodging, drawing swords, and swinging blades, both of them were highly focused on the battle in front of them, simultaneously looking for ways to defeat the enemy in one move and find the opponent's flaws.

"Not bad, Mei. Beichen One Sword Style is indeed well-deserved swordsmanship"

Bai Mo smiled as she parried the sword attacking her face.

"You too, Bai Mo. I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so high." Seeing that her opponent easily broke through her attack, Mei sighed from the heart.

"No need to say more, let me see it!" Pulling a distance from Mei, Bai Mo raised her long sword and took a starting position.

If you looked closely, you could see that this was the sword move of Edge of Taixuan.

"Wan Yue! Torrential Sea! Sky Cleaver!"

These three moves belong to the sword-starting form of Edge of Taixuan, and they are also the three moves that Bai Mo practices the most skillfully.

Bai Mo shouted loudly, and the long sword in her hand kept waving, as she attacked Mei like a swimming dragon.

Facing Bai Mo's attack, Mei did not intend to take it head-on, but chose to dodge continuously, looking for opportunities to use the blade to unload force.

For a moment, Mei's experience and kendo skills accumulated over the years were fully reflected, and these skills had been integrated into Mei herself, even forming a certain muscle memory. At the same time, Mei finally caught the pause when Bai Mo swung her sword while dodging and found the right opportunity to abandon defense and attack Bai Mo fiercely.

"Five-Clap Thunder!"

After adjusting her breathing, Mei quickly swung the fastest and strongest five slashes at Bai Mo, trying to reverse the outcome.

"Weeping Willow, Strong Shoot!"

Knowing she had made a mistake, Bai Mo had to passively defend herself. Feeling the force coming from the blade, Bai Mo's hand was shocked and in pain.

Sure enough, this gap in skills and experience cannot be made up by powerful sword moves alone. I must practice harder, otherwise, I am too weak without using the power of the Herrscher.

Seeing that she was suppressed by Mei, Bai Mo couldn't help thinking that he couldn't rely too much on the power of the Herrscher.

If she was beaten by Judah or something that day, she could only rely on her own physical strength.

"Rock Shattering! Thunder!"

Determined to train herself hard, Bai Mo, unwilling to be suppressed, began to try to counterattack. At the same time, because the Taixu sword moves were too sharp, Mei's attack gradually became strenuous.

"Yes, Bai Mo, you will definitely become a master of swordsmanship in time, but now you still need to accumulate experience, instead of relying on strong sword moves alone to break through like now!"

"Amaterasu!"

Mei judged Bai Mo's shortcomings and increased the strength of her sword. It seemed she was going to fight Bai Mo head-on.

"Landslide! Break it for me!"

Bai Mo was not willing to be outdone and shouted loudly.

The fierce battle continued. The training ground was full of swords and shadows, which dazzled the Valkyries who were training at the same time.

"Look, those two are fighting so hard."

"Yes, yes, it's been almost half an hour, and they haven't stopped."

"It seems we have to train hard, otherwise we will fail the practical class in the final exam."

"Yes, I don't want to be dragged by Teacher Himeko to practice more."

The Valkyries on the side whispered.

"Look, they seem to be about to decide the winner."

Just when everyone was worried about their grades, a Valkyrie on the side suddenly pointed at Bai Mo and Mei and said.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, wanting to see who the final winner was.

"Bang!"

With a bang, a blade and a sword collided with each other.

...

"Crack...squeak...crack!"

After a period of time, under the action of force, cracks began to appear on the weapons of the two. Such a clear sound should only be heard by the two of them, but in this environment where everyone was quiet, this sound was now infinitely amplified.

Finally, under the continuous efforts of the two, the swords used for training finally broke under the heavy load, and the result of this competition was judged as a draw.

"It's been a long time since I practiced like this. Thank you, Bai Mo."

After the competition, Mei said to Bai Mo with a smile while looking at the broken wooden sword in her hand.

"It's okay, it's Mei's request after all."

Bai Mo smiled and responded. After all, Mei usually took care of her, so when Mei found her and wanted her to be a sparring partner, Bai Mo agreed without thinking.

...

"It's a good competition, and the strength is also very good. I wonder if you are interested in working at the headquarters."

Just when the two wanted to go back to the dormitory after the competition, a round of applause came from behind them.

"Who are you?"

Turning around and looking at the woman in a maid outfit, Mei asked in confusion. After all, she had been in Saint Freya for so long and had never seen such person.

Rita? Why is she here? Was she sent by Otto to cause trouble?

Bai Mo, who also saw Rita, was confused. After all, if Rita could appear in Saint Freya Academy, something must have happened.

"Nice to meet you. I am Rita Rossweisse, the vice-captain of the Immortal Blades at the headquarters, and also a maid."

Bowing slightly, Rita said with a slight smile.

"Nice to meet you, but we have no intention of working at the headquarters yet."

Glancing at Mei next to her, Bai Mo said slowly.

She will definitely go to the Schicksal headquarters, but definitely not now, at least it has to wait until she is strong enough.

As for Rita's invitation? Forget it. L

There should be more or less some meaning of Otto in this. After all, according to Rita's personality, she will not worry about such things.

"That's a pity."

After getting the expected answer, Rita didn't say much.

"I found many shortcomings when watching the competition between you two. Do you want to compete with me and I will teach you?"

Rita took a step forward and leaned over to pick up the broken sword on the ground.

"Well, if possible, I would be happy to get your teaching, but we are tired enough today. I guess it won't be much use to continue training like this. After all, we have to combine work and rest."

Bai Mo smiled after politely rejecting Rita. At the same time, Mei beside her also thought it made sense and nodded.
