Genshin Impact: One Soul in Two Bodies

Swoosh—

Under the light of the already setting sun, the claymore in Eula's hand reflected a golden glow. With every swing, whooshing sounds echoed one after another, as if the air itself was split in two wherever the claymore passed.

As she continued to wield it, graceful arcs were successively drawn in the air. Her figure even danced continuously with the swings of the claymore, every movement so elegant, so full of power.

Finally, as Eula brought the claymore behind her, her movements ceased.

Clap, clap, clap—

After watching Eula's demonstration from the side, Kaito subconsciously began to applaud.

He couldn't help it; it was truly magnificent, truly elegant.

Before, he could only see Eula's performance through videos, but now, all of this was happening right before his eyes. It was truly different.

"Truly elegant!"

Walking over to Eula and taking the claymore she offered, Kaito couldn't help but exclaim.

"Elegant or not, you don't know how to use a claymore at all!" Remembering how Kaito had just been wildly swinging the claymore as if it were a stick for stirring fire, Eula immediately flared up. Then she continued, "No, wait, why do I feel like you can't use any weapon at all? Are you perhaps holding back?"

After speaking, Eula looked at Kaito with a suspicious expression.

If Kaito were just an ordinary person completely unskilled in combat, that would be one thing. But his performance earlier, when she was pursuing the Fatui Debt Collector, was clearly not what an ordinary person would exhibit.

However, Eula also knew that Kaito's attack movements then were actually very clumsy, yet for some reason, his attack power was incredibly high.

So, after much thought, she concluded that Kaito was holding back, pretending to be both capable and incapable.

Otherwise, she truly wouldn't know why Kaito would act so strangely.

"I haven't really used weapons much. Maybe I just focused on training my strength."

Facing Eula's suspicious gaze, Kaito pondered and could only reply thus.

He couldn't help it; because the system had only enhanced his strength and hadn't yet given him various combat techniques, he currently indeed only possessed raw strength without the ability to use weapons.

Of course, he couldn't reveal this, so he could only try to find a reasonable excuse.

"Only focused on training strength?" Eula repeated some of Kaito's words, her suspicious expression, as she stared at him, not entirely fading.

Although this could indeed explain Kaito's peculiar behavior, it was simply too strange. Who would only train strength without learning how to use weapons?

"Yes, Eula." Kaito nodded heavily, as if what he said were truly fact.

"Then try punching me." After thinking for a moment, Eula decided to see just how strong Kaito's power was.

"Attack you?"

Kaito, it must be said, was surprised by Eula's strange request.

"Yes, punch me with your fist. Anywhere is fine. Punch wherever you think is easiest to hit."

Nodding, Eula took a few steps closer to Kaito.

"At this close range?"

Looking at Eula so close, Kaito felt that if he got any closer, he might bump into those two soft spots.

"Stop asking! Just do as I say quickly."

Seeing Kaito keep asking questions, Eula grew a bit impatient.

She should be able to block my attack, right?

Although he knew he was definitely no match for Eula now, at such close range, Kaito couldn't help but worry he might actually hurt her.

Never mind... I'll just angle the attack a bit...

After thinking, Kaito put down the claymore and decided to adjust his attack angle. Then he quickly threw his fist.

Wham—

Directly catching Kaito's fist in her hand, Eula easily blocked his attack, then said, "Your strength is pretty good, but your current stance doesn't allow you to exert your power to its fullest. And after an attack is blocked, you should continue with your other hand or a kick, or even create distance. Otherwise..."

As she spoke, Eula suddenly twisted Kaito's arm, then quickly moved behind him.

"Ow... That hurts, Eula."

With his arm twisted behind him, Kaito felt a bit uncomfortable.

Besides that, he also felt a soft touch on his back, but he didn't voice it.

After all, he couldn't exactly say, 'You're pressing against me there.'

"If I were an enemy, you'd have more than just pain to worry about." Realizing she had gotten too absorbed and had brushed against him in certain places, Eula nonchalantly released Kaito and put some distance between them.

"My life has just begun; it can't end like this."

Shaking the hand Eula had just held, Kaito nonchalantly turned around.

"Then you'll need to practice more."

Saying that, Eula picked up the claymore from the ground and handed it to Kaito, "Originally, I thought this claymore might be too flashy and impractical for you, but now I don't think so. In fact... it feels like you could use even just a stick."

She finally understood now: Kaito truly only had strength and no combat skills.

"A stick would be too light, wouldn't it?"

Taking the claymore Eula handed him, Kaito still didn't want a stick.

"Anyway, this claymore is yours. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Of course, you can also challenge me to a spar. But I'm usually not in the city; I'm mostly stationed outside on patrol, and the patrol areas aren't very fixed, so it just depends on whether we run into each other."

"Then do you have a station over by Stormbearer Mountains?"

Because his encounter with Eula yesterday was near the direction of Stormbearer Mountains, Kaito guessed there might be a station there.

"Yes." Eula nodded.

"Then I'll see if I can find you there later."

"Mm, I'll get going then."

Nodding, Eula decided to go for a drink, as it was rare for her to be back in the city.

"Goodbye."

Watching Eula's back gradually recede, Kaito decided to pay his rent.

And tonight, it would be about what Amber and Wendy had to say.
