The next day at fencing class, the teacher made news of a new student who was from Japan and was on top of her class to join and challenge the best fencer in Paris. Adrien was the best since he was pressured a lot to make his father proud but never received approval. The girl stepped in and she had her white fencing uniform on.

"I'm Kagami" She introduced herself with less emotion.

"I'm Adrien, and welcome to Paris," Adrien said.

"Thanks. This time, I won't go easy on anyone. I never hesitate" Kagami said with fierce.

"I'll take that chance. I never miss" Adrien puts on his helmet.

"I accept your challenge" Kagami put on hers.

"May the best fencer win" Adrien got in his stance.

"En garde!" The teacher said to begin the fight.

They rapidly clashed the blades until Kagami pushed him towards the pillar. They continued fencing up the stairs and she flipped over to the upper floor. It evidently becomes clear their fighting becomes very competitive. Marinette nearby watched on as they fought. Adrien made sure to not trip up the stairs while fighting.

"Is that all you can do?!" Kagami taunted before pushing him near the stair rail.

"Not quite!" Adrien pushed a cart at her.

Kagami was sent backward by the cart. It didn't stop her from using agility to jump to the ledge of the stairs and try to have her blade touch his gut but he blocked it.

They up upstairs to the library as the fight was getting aggressive and neither of them got hit in the gut. Marinette got increasingly worried. She may not be part of this class but she wanted to see Adrien fight in fencing. She stayed out of the way before the struggling started tossing objects around.

"Yield!" Kagami demanded.

"Never!" Adrien refused.

"I said yield!" Kagami pushed him against the bookshelves.

"In your dreams!" Adrien pushed her back and his blade touched her gut with his cat reflex.

"Yield!" He then repeated her demand.

"Fine! You got me!" Kagami said.

"Well that was one intense fight," Adrien said.

"Are you two okay? I was afraid the fight would become so real" Marinette said, picking up the books from the floor.

"I'm okay, Marinette," Adrien said.

"So am I" Said Kagami.

"Good lord," Marinette said, putting the books away, "Is this more than fencing or was it something else to make fencing look more real?"

"I suppose more competitive without having to be a tie of being top best. I suppose Adrien is well perfect in fencing" Kagami said.

"Just my luck" Adrien shrugs.

"Is everyone okay?! Who got hit first?!" The teacher asked.

"I was," Kagami said.

"Point goes to Monsieur Agreste," The teacher said.

"Thanks," Adrien said.

After coming home with his medal, Nathalie was proud of him but his father only gave a cold look of wanting more effort of him since winning was just too easy.

"She was a bit of a challenge still," Adrien said.

"And I expect more effort," Gabriel said, giving no approval.
