I lowered myself so I could kick Irina to make her fall from below as she was slashing towards me. Irina noticed it and did a small jump. I kicked the ground so I could get up fast! Here’s my uppercut! SWING! My uppercut missed Irina’s chin. Irina made sharp eyes. She swung her katana to the side, but I avoided it by jumping backwards. Irina looked at me with a shocked face. “……I’m sorry. Looks like I was taking you a bit lightly. You have good movements.”
Irina made a serious face. Oh, can I win this? That’s what I thought, but……… I fell down onto the ground…… What the…… I felt power leaving out of my body. I can still move while enduring certain pains. But this was different. I seriously have no strength left…… Shit…what’s happening……
When I looked at my stomach, there was smoke emitting from it! Is this the damage caused by the holy-sword!? When on earth!? Did I get cut from the attack just now!? It just grazed me and I turn out like this……
“It’s the damage caused by the holy-sword. Devils and fallen-angels get their power and existence erased by receiving damage from the holy-sword to their body. If it were a bit deeper, then it would have been critical.”
It was just a graze! Does it take that much power from me that I get down on my knees!? [Reset!] The time for the Boosted Gear activation was finished. I also lost the boosted power within my body. My power returned to normal. How could this be! “If you had another boost, then you could have definitely evaded that attack. We could have had a proper match. You lost because you used your Sacred Gear while not knowing the power difference between yourself and your opponent. A simple mistake can become critical in a serious fight.”
……Damn it. It was no use. My body couldn’t move at all…… I lost? Did I make a fool of myself in front of Buchou and Asia? Miserable! “Haaaaaaaaaa! !”
Kiba raised his spirit up and tried to make something in his hand. It turned into the shape of a sword, but……
“The destructive power of that holy-sword or the destructive power of my demonic-sword! We will see which one is stronger!”
What appeared in Kiba’s hand was a gigantic sword. Kiba held it with both hands while releasing an ominous aura. It’s big. It’s way longer than Kiba’s height. It definitely was more than two meters. Kiba then swung it with force! The slash reached Xenovia, but she made a sigh as if she was really disappointed. “It’s a shame. You made the wrong decision.”
GACHIN! A violent sound of metal! A large fragment of the sword went up in the air. It was Kiba’s sword that broke. Xenovia’s Excalibur easily destroyed Kiba’s demonic sword. “Your weapon is the variety of the sword you can create and your speed. You would need a lot of strength to swing a gigantic sword like that, and you will lose the speed that you are proud of. Are you seeking a destructive power? From your fighting style, it’s something unnecessary. Don’t you even know that?”
BANG! The pommel of the holy-sword hit deep into Kiba’s stomach. It was a simple move like that yet it created a shockwave. It meant that even a single attack with a pommel has destructive power. “Gaha!”
Kiba fell onto the ground after he vomited from his mouth. “Even if it’s not a hit with the blade, that hit just now will be enough to stop you from standing for a while.”
Xenovia glared at Kiba once, and turned around. “………Wa……wait!”
Kiba reached his hands towards her, but everyone here knew that the match was over. Akeno-san unsealed the barrier. The red aura that covered the area disappeared. The battle was over. “Senpai, I suggest you fight with coolness the next time we fight. Rias Gremory, I trust you with the talk from earlier. Also, you should train your servants a bit more. There’s a limit for polishing their battling style.”
Kiba glared at Xenovia with hatred. Xenovia then looked at me. “I will tell you one thing. “Vanishing dragon” has already awakened.”
……What did she just say? “You will meet him eventually, but in your current state you can never win.”
Xenovia just said that and left after picking her stuff. “Wait for me Xenovia. Then it’s like that Ise-kun. Tell me whenever you want to get judged. Amen.”
Shidou Irina held her cross and winked at me. She then left the scene. Buchou closed her eyes. I’m sure that she didn’t feel good. Kiba and I were ultimately defeated. “Are you okay?”
Asia put her hand on my stomach and healed my wound with her Sacred Gear. Asia was wearing the spare uniform she had in the old school building. She was wearing it because I blew her clothes away earlier. The warm green coloured light that was made from her hand surrounded me and healed my wound. “I showed you an uncool side of me, Asia.”
I said it to Asia while laughing. But Asia shook her head. “I’m glad that your wound was minimal after getting hit by a holy-sword. I was really scared thinking Ise-san might have vanished.”
Aaah. Did I make Asia worry again? I’m making this girl worry a lot. “I’m sorry for blowing your clothes off.”
I apologised sincerely. No matter how you think about it, it was my fault. But Asia just smiled at me. “There was a plan that you were thinking about, right Ise-san? I am fine with anything Ise-san does for me.”
……Sob. My eyes got warm. Asia, you believe in me that much! But you know Asia, I wasn’t thinking about anything except blowing girls clothes away. Aaaah. Asia’s smile is too bright……
“……You might have won if you did another boost with the Sacred Gear.”
Koneko-chan said it while massaging my shoulders. It hurts. It hurts Koneko-chan. Koneko-chan was also wearing a spare uniform just like Asia. But it was the first time Koneko-chan said something like that to me! I was a bit moved! “………Not knowing it means you lack practice and real battle experience.”
Aaau! You sure hit the spot! I’m sorry for being a lecher! “Hold on! Yuuto!”
I heard Buchou’s voice. When I looked, there was Kiba who seemed like he was trying to leave and an angry Buchou. What the? Is Kiba going somewhere? “I won’t forgive you if you leave me! You are the “Knight” of the Gremory group. I will also be troubled if you turn into an “exiled”. Wait this instant!”
“……I was able to run away from there, thanks to my comrades. That’s why I have to put their regrets into my demonic-swords…”
After saying that Kiba disappeared. “Yuuto……Why……?”
I couldn’t look at Buchou’s sad face. At the same time I made up my determination. “Aaaaa. And? What was the reason for calling me?”
The next day off. I called Kaichou’s “Pawn”, Saji, in front of the train station. Saji seemed listless. I somehow managed to get in contact with Saji thanks to Buchou. “…………He’s right. What were you two trying to do?”
The one who was holding onto my shirt and wasn’t letting go was Koneko-chan. I met her by coincidence when I was on my way to meet Saji in front of the train station. I tried to run away, but I was caught easily. I’m inferior in terms of physical build against a loli shoujo like always. Well it couldn’t be helped.
