Kuina Is About to Cry

What do you want to do?

Don't come any closer!

Although Kuina couldn't see Lin Yan's specific expression because of the Faceless Appearance, her malicious laughter immediately put Kuina on alert.

"You, you stay away!"

The girl realized the immense threat and immediately retreated, watching Lin Yan with great vigilance.

To be honest...

The girl's premonition was not wrong.

Because Lin Yan was indeed about to do something quite outrageous.

But Kuina also forgot that, when facing Lin Yan, she had no leverage to resist...

"Alright, enough talk. Now, spar with me using your sword."

Seeing Kuina's wary expression, Lin Yan tilted her head and smiled. Then, as the girl's expression suddenly changed, she thrust her sword at her.

"?!"

It seemed they hadn't expected Lin Yan to suddenly make such a move.

Kuina's expression changed slightly.

Then, without hesitation, he took action.

At the same time, he was naturally somewhat resentful.

Even if you're my master now, I'll still beat you up if you belittle my swordsmanship!

With this in mind, Kuina fearlessly raised her wooden sword.

Then...

And that was the end of it.

This is a natural outcome.

After all, to be fair, when it comes to swordsmanship, even Koushirou couldn't withstand a single move from Lin Yan.

Kuina...

All we can say is that we should mourn.

The girl soon discovered, to her dismay, that her prized swordsmanship was incapable of even performing simple attacks.

Even if someone just wants to attack, Lin Yan will see through their intentions first, and then they won't be able to swing their weapon at all.

"You, you cheat!"

Feeling both ashamed and angry at being suppressed to this extent, Kuina couldn't help but pout at Lin Yan.

"Don't talk so naively, continue."

However, Lin Yan ignored this and continued her relentless attack despite Kuina's exasperated expression.

Of course.

Lin Yan did all this for a reason.

After all, given Kuina's current swordsmanship level, for Lin Yan to fight her would be like bullying a child.

Lin Yan was certainly not that bored.

Rather, the purpose of this battle is to make Kuina forget what she has learned!

The human body is an incredibly complex organism.

Just like how Kuina improved after only slightly changing her movements, what if the difference in movements is too great...?

The result, of course, needs no further explanation.

That's exactly what Lin Yan is doing right now.

Thanks to the exceptional eyesight and judgment gained from the Infinite Martial Arts, Lin Yan was able to accurately predict the girl's movements before she could make a Kuina, and then begin to disrupt her.

It was disruptive from the very beginning.

Therefore, under Lin Yan's attacks, Kuina was unable to use her sword skills at all.

Because it was resolved from the very beginning.

That's why Kuina was both angry and embarrassed before.

This is so frustrating!

But that's not all.

Where Kuina couldn't see, every time Lin Yan disrupted the girl's movements, a strange light would flash in her eyes.

That's the power of the Sharingan.

Of course, because the power of the Sharingan was too domineering, Lin Yan did not directly erase Kuina's memories, but chose this relatively gentler method.

The result was...

As the battle continued, Kuina's hand movements became increasingly chaotic, eventually becoming completely incoherent.

However, Kuina, caught up in her anger, didn't notice this.

"Alright, that's all for today's training. We'll continue tomorrow."

Observing Kuina's movements the whole time, Lin Yan stopped at a certain moment with a grin, and then said to Kuina.

"You..."

Clearly exhausted from Lin Yan's antics, Kuina glared angrily at the despicable man before her, seemingly wanting to curse, but lacking the strength.

"Okay, let's continue at this place tomorrow."

However, Lin Yan didn't give Kuina a chance to speak. After leaving behind this sentence, she disappeared in an instant.

Slip!

After all, if they didn't leave soon, and Kuina found out something was wrong, the little girl would probably start acting like an adult.

Therefore, Lin Yan decisively chose a tactical retreat.

"..."

Watching Lin Yan disappear in an instant, Kuina just pouted slightly in annoyance, but made no attempt to chase after her.

After all, she knew she could never catch up to him in this lifetime.

"Hmph! Unscrupulous teacher!"

Staring intently at the spot where Lin Yan disappeared, Kuina looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then couldn't help but make a face at the spot where Lin Yan had vanished.

This made me feel much better.

The "spiritual victory method" is...

Looking at the wooden sword she had just thrown away, Kuina gave a soft snort, picked it up, and stormed off to her room.

Unscrupulous teacher!

Since you've helped me improve a lot today, I won't hold it against you!

Kuina thought to herself, rather angrily.

I wonder if Kuina herself noticed that when she said these things, there was always a faint, almost imperceptible smile on her lips...

Of course, the girl would never admit that she was actually very excited.

Everyone has to save face to some extent...

Reflecting on what had just happened, Kuina's steps were surprisingly light, despite her angry expression.

After greeting her father, Kuina excitedly returned to her room.

I plan to test the progress I made today.

There was nothing she could do; she simply hadn't felt any progress in far too long.

It's perfectly normal to feel restless at this moment.

Thinking like that.

Kuina diligently recreated the poses Lin Yan had taught her, recalling every detail.

"I remember... it should be something like this, right?"

Kuina carefully adjusted her movements, nodded in satisfaction, and then swung the wooden sword down sharply.

Then, the next second, she was dumbfounded.

Something's not right!

What's going on?!

Did I just swing that?!

Looking at the weak and feeble sword path, Kuina couldn't believe it. Recalling Lin Yan's malicious laughter from before, Kuina couldn't help but shudder.

"No, it's impossible! How could such a thing happen!"

Kuina shook her head violently, then, defiantly, began to use the sword techniques she had already learned.

Then ten minutes later.

"Hehe... hehehehehe..."

Kuina slumped to the floor, a somewhat broken smile on her face.

A moment later, a powerful roar erupted from the back courtyard of the dojo.

"You, you heartless master! You, you come out here!!!"
