Section 25

Guina fell backwards and landed on the grass, panting heavily and sweating all over her head.

Zoro's eyes were dull.

what happened?

Did she... lose?

She actually lost? !

"You can support three swords under my hand. That's a lot of progress."

Ron looked at Kuina and smiled.

"The record now is 364:0."

Guina looked at him and said bitterly: "Next time, next time I will definitely hit you!"

"come on."

Ron said casually.

Then he put the bamboo sword in his hand on his shoulder and turned to look behind him.

When he saw the familiar green algae hair, Ron was a little surprised:

"I thought it was someone, but it turned out to be you."

Zoro saw Ron's childish but mature and calm little face, and a wave of memories instantly flooded into his mind.

He looked at Ron with his eyes wide open, pointed at him, and said in great surprise:

"Strange cheapskate!"

"Weird cheapskate?"

When Guina heard this title, she couldn't help but be startled.

A black line appeared on Ron's forehead:

"I'm talking about you! Don't call people weird names!"

17. Huge gap, Sauron’s unwillingness (2/5)

Under the moon.

On the corridor in the backyard of the gymnasium.

Three small figures were sitting.

From left to right are Kuina, Ron, and Zoro.

The three of them have short blue hair, short black hair, and a ball of green seaweed.

"Ron, you are so powerful."

Zoro was surprised, "You don't look much older than me. By the way, how old are you?"

Ron sat on the edge of the corridor, his hands on the floor and his calves dangling in the air.

Hearing Sauron's words, he looked up at the moon in the sky and smiled: "I should be nine years old this year."

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since I came to this world.

A lot of things really happened this year.

"Nine years old? One year older than me."

Zoro crossed his fingers and said.

Guina held her chin with her hands, puffed out her face and said depressedly: "You are one year younger than me."

"By the way, Ron, where's your knife?"

Zoro asked curiously.

"I put it in the house. I definitely won't take it with me in the dojo."

Ron fell back, resting his head on his arms, looking sideways at Zoro beside him and smiling: "You also joined the dojo as a new disciple this spring?"

"Um."

Zoro nodded, looked at Kuina, and said with boiling fighting spirit in his eyes: "I swear to defeat her!"

Guina glanced at him: "Just you?"

Her contemptuous attitude instantly angered little Zoro.

"What did you say!?"

He stood up immediately and said angrily:

"Would you like to compete with me again now?!"

"Humph, okay. But no matter how many times we compete, you will never be my opponent."

Kuina stood up and said proudly.

Zoro gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be lightning in the air.

After a while.

Zoro was lying on the ground in the yard in a daze, the bamboo sword in his hand flying far away.

"Hmph, you can't even hold a sword, and you still want to use the two-sword style. I think you should lay the foundation first."

After Kuina said this to him, she looked at Ron sitting under the eaves and said, "I'll wait for you at the old place tomorrow morning."

Without waiting for Ron to answer, she took the bamboo sword and left first.

Ron stood up, looked at Zoro who fell on the ground and smiled:

"Although Guina is a girl, she is still very strong, and she practices very hard. If you want to catch up with her, it will probably be difficult."

"You have to show great perseverance and train extra hard to have a chance."

After Ron said this, he also left.

Zoro was left lying on his back in the yard.

"I lost again..."

"Guina is so strong, so strong that I have no hope of winning. But Ron is much stronger than her, and is obviously only one year older than me..."

He looked at the night sky, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and hit the ground hard, with a face full of reluctance:

"Damn it!!! Why is the gap so big!!"

…………

From this day on.

Sauron began to train harder than anyone else, and soon surpassed the new disciples at the same time.

And she would challenge Kuina more than three times every day, but she would fail miserably every time. Every time he was defeated, he would go crazy and train harder.

After only two months of entry, he was able to defeat a group of old disciples.

It can be said that my level has improved by leaps and bounds, and it is completely incomparable to when I first came to the gym.

His perseverance and hard work also attracted the respect of all his disciples, including Kuina, who paid a lot of attention to his changed outlook.

…

This day.

Zoro, who was pulling stones under the tree to exercise his arm strength, saw Kuina passing by with a bamboo sword and shouted without thinking: "Guina, duel with me!"

Guina glanced at him: "I'm not free now."

She was about to leave, but as if she thought of something, she stepped back and said to him: "Follow me."

"Eh?"

Zoro was confused.

"Where to go?"

"Are you going? Don't regret it if you don't go."

Guina looked mysterious.

Zoro's curiosity was aroused, and he immediately put down the stone, came to Kuina, and followed her towards the back of the gym.

When the two came to the forest clearing behind the gym.

Zoro saw two figures, one large and one small, standing in the open space.

"Director, and... Ron?!"

Zoro was a little surprised, "Are they... dueling?"

Kuina looked at the field and nodded:

"And they are using real swords."
