"Oraa!"
Together with a sharp shout, Rigel's sword cut the wind.
In an instant silver light ran.
But the girl in front of him did not flinch.
"Too naive!"
Aria declared it in a cool tone and deflected it lightly.
The movement was smooth as a dance, without waste.
Gakin!
A high sound of metal striking metal.
Rigel tried to pierce a momentary opening in the clash of guards, but he got no solid feel.
"Tch."
"See, you're full of openings!"
Aria's sword flash ran as if glittering.
Rigel reflexively twisted his body and evaded it by a hair.
(…This one is pretty strong.)
In the gaps of offense and defense Rigel muttered inside.
The average level of Royal Academy students was high.
Among them, those who entered the Academy Martial Arts Tournament were all people with pride in their own ability.
Still more, this was the third round of the tournament.
Those who had survived this far could not be weak.
But even so, Aria stood out.
"Fu!"
Aria stepped in sharply.
