TEASER Chapter 4 Part 1
"Waa~!"
"Fu~!"
In
the suburb of Arcazam City. Two people, one men
and one woman are slashing at each other in the field leading to the outer
edge.
One
is Irisdina Francilt, a girl with long black hair. She dances gracefully like a
butterfly flying around the field, slashing with the rapier in her hand and
thrusting it into her opponent. Her speed is just like a flash. The girl is
slashing at a speed that even ordinary people could not see.
The
other is Nozomu Bountis, a boy holding a katana with Seigan-no-Kamae (TL
: posture in kendo). He handles the series of flashes of light with his katana
that only seen as afterimages. However, the boy gradually backs off, perhaps
because it is difficult to handle it completely.
Irisdina's
mowing attacks gradually broke Nozomu's defenses, and
Nozomu gradually became unable to handle her. Her rapier began to graze his
body, even so, Irisdina's attack still can't reach the boy in front of her.
(Kuh!
As expected, it's fast! I can't handle it completely !!)
(As
I thought, it's amazing! To handle my attacks this far, which is overwhelming
with my ability …………)
While
retreating, Nozomu transmitted the momentum of his foot and his trunk to both
of his arms. He skillfully parrying Irisdina’s slashes, who is superior in physical strength.
With
his opponent's physical abilities drastically enhanced by strengthening magic,
it is difficult for Nozomu to fight head-on.
Her
physical ability is not as good as Mars's, but her ability to master not only
swords but also magic is troublesome. And Nozomu doesn't know all about the
skills she possesses.
That's
why Nozomu was initially trying to get away from her, even just a little.
Because
he was fighting in the vast area, Nozomu
used that space to handle Irisdina's attacks. If the two were fighting in a
small room, Nozomu would not have been able to do that.
(However,
the sword is not the only weapon I have! Nozomu!)
At
that time, the ground at the feet of the boy suddenly rose. The raised ground
has shaken off Nozomu and his foot stops. However, Irisdina, who wields a sword
in front of Nozomu, has not chanted or created a formation to activate the
magic. Still, the reason why her magic was activated is due to her ability,
"Immediate Deployment".
"Ku!"
Nozomu,
whose momentum was destroyed, immediately abandoned his previous purpose. As he
rolls on the ground, he manages to avoid the approaching Irisdina's sword. If
his decision had been delayed for a moment, her sword would have reached
Nozomu's body.
(I
thought the victory is decided by now. His judgment is extraordinary ...)
(It
was ridiculous. There is almost no time lag in magic activation. Her ability to
deploy magic immediately is so troublesome ...)
Irisdina
pursues further. She shoots the rapier against Nozomu who hasn't got up yet,
but Nozomu catches her rapier with his katana while standing on his knees, he
takes advantage of the curve of his katana's blade. Then, he parries her rapier
upwards.
(This
time it's my turn !!)
