Chapter 5: kuragane vs vermilion...
Mage-knights bolstered their country's battle strength, and they naturally sought combat skill. Such skill was needed not just for warfare, but also to oppose terrorist groups and criminal syndicates that abused Blazer powers.
For mage-knight training, a number of dome-shaped arenas dotted the Hagun Academy campus. The interior of each dome included a space for combat with a roughly hundred-meter diameter, with audience seats built on a bowl shape around that space.
In the third training arena, Ikki Kurogane and Stella Vermillion stood twenty meters apart with Kurono Shinguuji waiting between them as referee.
Above them, twenty or so second- and third-year students who had been training, and many visitors who had heard about a mock battle being suddenly declared in the middle of spring break, fixed their gazes on the field. They were all staring at the supernova who had entered the academy with great fanfare, Stella Vermillion.
Audience
Eikichi was looking at the two fighters and could only sigh. He was in the dark corner of the stands and was about to leave as he could already tell who was going to win.
But he left that thought behind as he saw an acquaintance in the stand next to him. Creeping up behind her he lifted his arms and blinded the person's eyes with his hands.
Touka" Ee, ere, What's going on." Touka said confused.
Eikichi" Hehe, guess who."
Touka" umm I, is this Eikichi- San."
Eikichi" Correct. I thought you were busy, what are you doing here. Could it be your interested in Kurogane-san? He's indeed handsome fellow. Or is it you swing the other way."
Touka" N-nothing like that, I was just interested in who would win." She said a bit shyly.
Battle arena
Kurono" Now then, we'll start the mock battle. Both sides, materialize your Device in illusionary form."
Ikki" Come forth, Intetsu."
stella" Serve me, Lævateinn."
Stella summoned Lævateinn, the sword-shaped from her soul, into a form that deals no physical damage to humans but cleaves away physical stamina and strength directly. And she vowed to the boy in front of her, she'd crush him.
Talent can't be defeated. A prodigy is special.
To erase such self-deception, she'd crush him utterly.
Kurono" Alright. Well then, LET'S GET STARTED!"
And so, the fight between a prodigy knight and a failed knight began.
Audience
Seeing the fight between the two combatants, one who wants to prove himself with very little chance at becoming a knight, while the other having a high possibility, but wants to prove hard work triumphs over being a prodigy.
Eikichi' Mhh, if they could look past the peeping incident, then they could make a cute couple.' As he's watching he sees Ikki use blade steal. And masters stellas sword art." Whistle, that blade steal is nothing to scoff about..."
Touka" Derived from Perfect Vision, Ikki is able to use his great insight to analyze and steal his opponent's techniques, then he improves by using his swordsmanship. For someone deemed a failure knight. He's certainly creative in how he can push himself further."
Arena
Stella" My sword style isn't so simple that you can see through it easily!"
Ikki" No, I already got it."
In an instant, the flow of the battle turned. Only five minutes had passed since the start of the match when Ikki Kurogane began to attack for the first time.
It might've seemed like a suicidal action at first glance. In a head-on clash between swordsmen, what could he do with just honed technique against an opponent with that much offensive force? He could only fall before such scorching firepower. It should've been inevitable, but.
Stella" Kuh!"
But Stella was the one who retreated. Ikki was pushing Stella back with his weapon. How? The method lay with the sun-like orbit Intetsu was tracing. It was, in fact, Stella's Imperial Arts.
Stella" Impossible…How can you be using it?"
Audience
As Ikki was finally counter attacking Eikichi next to touka was waiting for climax, When kurono sudenly appeared beside us and asked me.
Kurono" Oi, Eikichi, deploy a barrier around the arena. Something tells me things are going to get heated."
Eikichi could only sigh and tap his foot softly on the ground. There was no physical difference in the surrounding area but those with a keen eye and good magical control could fell magical energy surrounding the stadium.
Arena
Ikki" Aiming for victory carelessly after feeling pressured? Slashing while retreating isn't your style. Even someone like me can stop such a weak attack. That move was your downfall."
Saying that Ikki pushed Lævateinn away, creating a large opening in her guard.
Ikki" Haaaaa!"
And with Intetsu's blade, he slashed down at Stella's defenceless form.
Audience
Student 1" Is it over!"
Student 2" It's a perfect hit. That should end it.
Student 3" No, wait! Look at that!
The confused spectators turned their gazes to Stella's right shoulder. Intetsu's blade had indeed landed there, but it was completely stopped. Ikki's full-powered strike couldn't damage Stella at all.
His opponent was using magic as a shield, and an attack without equally strong magic couldn't harm a shielded Blazer. Ikki's magic was too limited, too weak.
However excellent his techniques might be, lacking a Blazer's most important trait meant he couldn't even pierce the magic power Stella was releasing subconsciously.
Aura capacity, the total spiritual energy that a Blazer could spend in using his abilities. That attribute couldn't be increased with effort. It was locked at birth, bound by the weight of destiny, a human being's predetermined value.
Stella' He was, that strong. That why, that's why..." I'll finish this match with respect."
Suddenly, Stella took a large leap backwards. She retreated to the ring-shaped arena's borderline, at the wall that separated the arena from the audience seats.
With sincere respect. Ikki felt uneasy about Stella backing so far away after saying those words, but that unease was immediately quashed by a heavier sensation.
Stella" Pierce the blue sky, blaze of purgatory."
The moment Stella pointed her Lævateinn up at the air, the flames covering the sword burned with more fury and heat, and soon the sword lost its form, taking the shape of a pillar of light that would have melted the arena's domed roof if not for Eikichi's barrier.
The blade that easily extended a hundred meters upward was shining with the sun's own brilliance, an unopposable scarlet conflagration.
For this A-Rank knight, the Crimson Princess, it was her strongest Noble Art. Stella no longer intended to fight with a sword. She would no longer be overconfident. Ikki was a swordsman who far surpassed her, and because she admitted that, she chose to end this battle by destroying the arena with her unfair talent.
Audience
Eikichi was watching Stella finally use her magic' As expected of an A rank student...but it won't be that easy to take down his grandson.'
