I set up my wooden sword again. In terms of speed and number of moves, I am no match for Helen. Then, the only way to counter her would be weight and sharpness.
　Even though Helen's speed more than compensates for her reach, I have a longer physical reach. Helen is taller and has longer arms, but the length of her weapon is completely different.

"Huh.

　She exhales and delivers a sharp thrust. A common thief could have been crippled by this one thrust. Even though it was a wooden sword for practice, it was still a heavy wooden stick.
　But unfortunately, Helen was no ordinary thief. She easily knocked me down with one wooden sword, and then came at me with the other.
　I pull back the wooden sword with which I had thrust, and knock away the wooden sword that was cutting at me. I was prepared to get hungry.
　As I expected, the wooden sword attacked my empty side with great speed. Even with a wooden sword, you should be prepared for a blow to the ribs.
　He turned his hand and managed to block the blow as well. In the space of a single breath, the battle is fought. But for every attack I make, Helen can make two. The odds are against me at this point.
　I thought I could get away with a little more since I have a better physical reach than her, but "Lightning" has completely canceled out the disadvantage with its unbelievable speed.

You just took a serious shot at me.

　I spoke to Helen while looking for an opening. I thought she might relax a little, but she didn't show the slightest sign of weakness.

You're the one who gave me the bad thrust first.

　I was the one who started the fire," she said with a grin. So it was me who started the fire. Well, I guess I have no choice.

Let's get on with it.
"Oh, great!

　We both took a deep breath at the same time. We both take one deep breath at the same time, and then we both inhale deeply at the same time.

It was like two tornadoes slamming into each other," Deanna said at dinner that night.
　We continued to fight for the next half hour or so, until I put down my wooden sword and we were done.
　Deanna, who was usually on the receiving end of Helen's sword, seemed to be able to follow our movements. But.

"Oh my god, that was crazy.
"I could barely follow her with my eyes.
I could barely follow, but I had no idea what was going on.
I couldn't see very well to begin with.

　"I could barely follow, but I had no idea what was going on. Aside from their vocabulary, Samija, who is a hunter, and Anne, who probably has a background in martial arts, were able to see reasonably well, while Riddhi, who lives in the forest and has trained her eyes, could barely see, but Rique could not see at all. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of these in the marketplace. ....... I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it'll help.

I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea.

　Diana said as she munched on her meat. I'd like you to keep it in moderation, because if you get too strong, I won't be able to match you with Marius, but he's very motivated, and I don't want to hold him back.
　When I looked at Helen, who was also gobbling up the meat with a troubled look on her face, she smiled. I'm going to give this guy a thorough workout. .......

I'm going to do some of that too. ......
Do you want to learn how to handle a knife?
That's right, ...... so you don't have to bother with the master when the time comes.

　I'm sure you'll have a great time. I'm sure you can see that I'm quite good with a knife. It's true that if you become stronger in a military sense, you'll be able to handle me even if something should happen to me. In this sense, it is very difficult to stop her.
　As the women around me grew stronger and stronger, my stomach gave a little cry of protest.
