Hearing Raiden Ei say that, Makoto was no longer sleepy.
After all, when he came to Teyvat, there were many things he wanted to try.
One of them was to exchange sword-drawing insights with Raiden Ei.
Raiden Ei slowly closed her eyes, and the next second, Makoto found that the scenery around him was changing at a visible speed.
This was Raiden Ei bringing him into the Plane of Euthymia.
This was Ei's true resting place.
In fact, Ei's actions were not difficult to understand.
Bringing Makoto to a relatively quiet environment where no one would disturb them would allow them to properly discuss swordsmanship.
At this moment, Makoto was a little nervous.
It was his first time drawing a sword, and he didn't know what to pay attention to.
Raiden Ei stood opposite Makoto, the purple light in her eyes growing stronger and more dazzling, like an angry thunder in a storm.
"Makoto, we can begin our exchange now."
"I hope you won't disappoint me today, at the very least... you must receive this strike."
Raiden Ei's long robe billowed in the wind, and her entire body was bathed in intense lightning.
The spewing lightning shards fell to the ground, making crackling sounds.
Overwhelming pressure rolled in from all directions like a tide.
The Plane of Euthymia also changed under Ei's power; sharp lightning pierced through the clouds, accompanied by rolling thunder.
Under the lightning, Raiden Ei slowly drew Musou Isshin and swiftly charged towards Makoto.
Her speed was too fast; from a distance, she looked like a bolt of lightning descending from the sky, charging straight forward.
Seeing Raiden Ei holding Musou Isshin, Makoto was stunned.
He had never thought of a duel at all!
The foolish Country bumpkin had misunderstood.
She had mistaken drawing a sword for a duel, which led to the current situation.
Without time to think, Makoto instantly activated Yu Zhang Shield.
He didn't need to take the God's strike head-on; activating the shield to be immune to all DMG would minimize the risk.
Raiden Ei quickly approached, and the strike she unleashed was still overwhelming and unstoppable.
The entire Plane of Euthymia trembled slightly, and a shocking sword mark was left on the ground wherever the lightning passed.
The power of this strike was second only to Musou no Hitotachi.
In reality, Raiden Ei was not clear about Makoto's strength.
She only intuitively believed that Makoto could take this strike.
After all, she had personally witnessed Makoto killing Beisht with one strike.
In Raiden Ei's opinion, since Makoto could defeat a God of that level, he must also have the strength to block her strike.
Of course, Raiden Ei was not truly foolish.
She was worried about hurting Makoto, so she deliberately held back her strength.
If the situation was not right, she would retract her sword immediately.
Clang!
Musou Isshin and Yu Zhang Shield collided, emitting a crisp sound.
At the same time, golden and purple lights erupted in the Plane of Euthymia.
A powerful shockwave blew sand flying everywhere.
Raiden Ei took a step back, holding Musou Isshin, and quickly stabilized her body.
She looked down at her wrist, and rare fluctuations appeared in her calm eyes.
She hadn't expected Makoto's shield to be as solid as a rock, capable of absorbing all her attacks.
Raiden Ei could feel that the shield's endurance limit should be far from that.
Makoto's ability was beyond her expectations, even stronger than she had imagined.
Raiden Ei felt her heart beat faster than usual, with an indescribable emotion.
Perhaps it was because she was happy to have a powerful opponent standing before her.
Raiden Ei looked up, her gaze fixed on Makoto.
"I can feel that dueling with you will allow me to comprehend a faster and stronger Musou no Hitotachi."
"So, Makoto, could I ask you to be my sparring partner?"
"Of course, you won't be doing it for nothing."
"In return, I can grant you one request."
"As long as it's within my capabilities, I can agree to it, how about it?"
Hearing Raiden Ei's request, Makoto's heart stirred.
To be honest, he also wanted to have a good, hearty duel.
Because up until now, Makoto had drawn many skills from the gacha pool.
Those skills had never been used together, and Makoto didn't know how powerful the combined attacks would be.
Now, he finally had a chance to unleash them.
Furthermore, looking at Raiden Makoto's serious expression, Makoto really couldn't refuse.
After all, who could refuse a seemingly foolish Country bumpkin?
Makoto nodded, agreeing.
"Then it's a deal, I'll be your sparring partner."
