Chapter 79: Suzuki Kusu's Strength
“Captain, you have to be careful.” Suzuki Kusu reminded him. Then, she stepped on the ground and rushed toward Muyang.
Seeing that Suzuki Kusu was rushing toward him with a sword in both hands, Muyang did not panic at all. He raised his right hand and calmly blocked Suzuki Kusu’s attack.
“But that won’t do, Kusu.”
Hearing Muyang’s words, Suzuki Kusu’s expression did not change. Instead, she smiled slightly. Her hand gesture changed, and her Zanpakuto slashed across Muyang’s sword, slashing towards Muyang’s right hand that was holding the saber.
Seeing Suzuki Kusu’s change in move, Muyang’s eyes lit up. Kusu seemed to have grown a lot. She did not know this kind of trick before. To be exact, no one in this world had this kind of move. Their slashing techniques were generally direct. There were very few exquisite moves.
Raising his arm slightly to block Suzuki Kusu’s saber, Muyang used a bit of force in his hand to force Suzuki Kusu away. He smiled and said, “Kusu, your cutting technique has grown a lot more than before.”
“That’s all because you taught me well, Captain.” “Next, I’m going to show my real skills. Captain, don’t be careless and lose to me.” Suzuki Kusu smiled.
“Oh?” Muyang raised his eyebrows, “It seems that you are very confident in your strength, Kusu.”
Suzuki Kusu smiled and no longer said anything. Instead, she directly attacked Muyang with Zanpakuto in her hand.
Seeing Suzuki Kusu’s attack, Muyang raised his right hand. However, just as he raised his right hand, he saw that Suzuki Kusu’s sword momentum just happened to land on his right hand. With a thought, Muyang immediately changed his move. However, before he could use the move in his hand, he saw that Suzuki Kusu’s sword was like a shadow following him. Coincidentally, it landed on the place where his arm was about to fall.
Muyang was very surprised. He had never fought with Suzuki Kusu like this before. Most of the time, it was him who taught Suzuki Kusu the art of cutting. The two of them were still in the position of teaching. However, today, after a formal fight with Suzuki Kusu, Muyang immediately felt that Suzuki Kusu’s ability was difficult to deal with.
This ability to predict the enemy’s first move was simply like a cheat! Every attack of the opponent was predicted by her, and then she counterattacked the next attack of the opponent. It looked like the opponent was hitting her blade. Even someone like him who was much stronger than her would find it difficult to fight against her. If it was someone with similar strength, even if they were stronger than her, they would basically have no chance of winning against her strange ability.
Muyang could use his powerful Reiryoku and physical fitness to suppress Suzuki Kusu, after all, even if Suzuki Kusu could predict his movements, as long as Muyang could let his attack exceed the speed of Suzuki Kusu’s reaction, her body could not keep up with the reaction of her mind, everything would be in vain. However, Muyang was a little interested with her ability. He did not even want to use the powerful attack. He wanted to see if he could crack this strange ability of Suzuki Kusu with only his moves.
Thinking of this, the strength in Muyang’s hands suddenly decreased a bit. Even his speed subconsciously slowed down. Suzuki Kusu felt that the strength of Muyang and his Zanpakuto decreased a bit. She immediately understood what his captain was thinking. Thus, the attack on her hand suddenly became more violent.
The two people attacked each other in the field, but there was no violent collision. Usually, before one person could hit the other, the other side had blocked the attack halfway. Then, the two people tacitly retracted their Zanpakuto, and prepared for the next attack. Although Muyang’s attack was exquisite and fast,
Suzuki Kusu could always predict the enemy’s first move. The Zanpakuto in her hand was like a shadow, and every time Muyang’s attack had not yet fallen, she would be intercepted from the middle of the road.
The figures of the two people in the field constantly changed. The attacks in their hands were ever-changing, changing moves quickly. The team members who were watching below felt confused. Although the captain and vice-captain above were extremely fast, whether it was the reaction speed or the attack speed, they were shocked.This kind of battle style was very different from the one they had encountered before.
“Captain, they are…” A team member looked at the two people who were constantly changing their forms and said hesitantly, “Is this a cutting technique?”
Although he knew that it was wrong to question the captain like this, the team member still could not help but ask. This kind of fighting style was not only unprecedented, but even unheard of. If it was a battle, there were not many collisions between Zanpakuto. However, if this was not a battle, whether it was the captain or the vice-captain, the speed of their attacks and the ability to adapt they displayed shocked them greatly.
“Just watch carefully. Are you questioning the strength of the captain?” A team member said.
“How can that be! I will not question the captain!”
“That’s it. Just watch obediently. If you really can’t understand, then it can only be said that our level is not enough to comprehend the captain’s cutting technique!”
…
The players below discussed in twos and threes. However, Muyang, who was above, felt depressed. He found that if he suppressed his strength to the same state as Suzuki Kusu, he really had no way to defeat her. If he fought with the same speed and strength, Suzuki Kusu could always predict his next attack. This was already in an invincible position.
No matter how exquisite his moves were, even if he pretended to be weak and set up a trap to lure Suzuki Kusu, he would still be seen through by her cheat like ability. It was simply unsolvable. In the end, Muyang awkwardly discovered that unless he ate her with speed and strength that surpassed Suzuki Kusu, he really could not deal with this ability.
Once again, the attack was fruitless. Muyang took a few steps back and looked at Suzuki Kusu, who was sweating profusely. He praised, “Kusu, you have really grown a lot. Unknowingly, your strength has already become so strong.”
Seeing Muyang take a few steps back and keep a distance from him, Suzuki Kusu immediately relaxed. She reached out and wiped the sweat on her forehead. Hearing Muyang’s praise, Suzuki Kusu immediately revealed a happy smile. Her efforts had finally not been in vain!
“Your ability is really outstanding. If you meet an opponent of the same strength, it is simply an unsolvable ability. Even if you meet an opponent who is stronger than you, you will still be able to gain some advantages.”
“Moreover, what makes me most gratified is that your cutting skill level has improved a lot. Otherwise, even if you can predict it, you won’t be able to block a series of my attacks.”
“This is all thanks to you, Captain.” Suzuki Kusu put away her Zanpakuto and said to Muyang, the expression on her face was very sincere.
“Don’t flatter me anymore. This is the result of your own efforts. I just taught you a little something. To truly grow to this stage is the result of your own efforts.”
Muyang sheathed his Zanpakuto. He took a few steps forward and patted Suzuki Kusu on the shoulder. “I really didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, that shy little girl from back then has already grown to this extent.”
“Captain!” When he heard Muyang mention his past, Suzuki Kusu also remembered her appearance back then. Her face immediately became shy. She suddenly remembered that there were still team members watching below. She immediately felt even more embarrassed. She immediately put away the shame on his face and looked down. The surrounding team members felt the warning gaze of the vice-captain and immediately dispersed.
Seeing Suzuki Kusu chase away the surrounding team members with one look, Muyang couldn’t help but feel funny. Then, he felt a trace of praise in his heart. It seemed that Suzuki Kusu still had a lot of prestige among the team members.
“Alright, go pack up. You’re sweating all over.” Muyang looked at the sweat on Suzuki Kusu’s face. “I will also go tidy up a bit. I will go to 12th Division later.”
“Yes, 12th Division?” Suzuki Kusu responded and suddenly raised his head to look at Muyang.
“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that you have to go to 12th Division every day to eat? What, you forgot in just one day?”
“Oh.” Suzuki Kusu nodded, then said to Muyang and quickly walked to her room. After all, she was a girl, and she did not care about the battle just now. Now that she relaxed, she felt that her whole body was covered in sweat and sticky, and she could not stay any longer.
Looking at Suzuki Kusu who left in a hurry, Muyang smiled slightly and then walked to the Captain’s office. Thinking that he would be able to taste the long-lost cooking of Sister Kirio Hikifune of the 12th Division later, Muyang could not help but walk a little faster.
