Your Fate Ends With You

The Difference

(Part 1)
"Third Round, Start!"

Kai draws his sword while I use Arm.

"Use that Temper thing or it won't a fair match."(Kai)

He's underestimating me.

[Temper!]
[Gather, 7 Spirits of Darkness, Sagitta Magica.]

I summoned my Sagitta Magicas and I put them on stand-by behind my back, forming a circle behind me.
(Watch Blood Lad or Negima for reference)

I used Shūndo to close in on Kai.
Kai used Shūndo as well.
His slash has the same power as my punch with full force.
So, I gathered my Sagitta Magicas.

[Gather!]

He draws out his sword.
I punch at the sword, not his body.
That's because I don't want to lose my arm.
His quick draw is just too strong.

"Datēn Tzuki!"(Sorata)

His sword clashes with my fist.
We both get pushed by the aftershock.

My hand is injured a little.
He doesn't have a single scratch on him.
So this is the difference between a Novice Class and an Intermediate Class.

[Wind Cut!](Kai)

Kai slashed at the air.
I instantly used Shūndo to sidestep.
My cheek is bleeding.
So that's his Magic Sword's ability.

[Cleanse my wound, Cure!](Sorata)

This is getting tricky.
How can I beat him...
Maybe...

[Wind Cut!](Kai)
[Protect me, Deflexio!](Sorata)

I used Deflexio to test out his attack strength.
The Wind Cut cuts through the magic circle and slashed my shoulder.

"Shit!"(Sorata)
[Cleanse my wound, Cure!](Sorata)

That hurts.
Defend is no good.
Let's try dodging.
I use my foresight.

<He will aim for your left leg.>

[Wind Cut.](Kai)

I used Shūndo to evade it.
Since I know where he's aiming, I can dodge it easily.
I repeat this for a few times while summoning my Sagitta Magicas.
He got into my range.

<He slashes at your right arm.>

He slashes at me.
I evade using Shūndo to go around his back.

[Freeze my enemies, Blizzard.](Sorata)

I freeze both of his leg.

[Gather, 3 Sagitta Magicas.]

I only gather 3.
I don't why but I have a feeling that I need to do that.

"Datēn Tzuki!"(Sorata)

Then, just an instant, Kai slashes at the ice's weak points and jumped up to evade my punch.

"What the-"(Sorata)

<He cuts you down from the back.>

Kai jumped behind me.
I immediately released my Sagitta Magicas to him while escape using Shūndo.
He cuts down the Sagitta Magica like butter.
But I managed to escape.

"How did you know I will escape?"(Kai)
"I don't, I just know that I need to keep a few behind."(Sorata)
"Then, how did you know I'm going to strike you from behind?"(Kai)
"My Skill Art. Foresight."(Sorata)
"Now I see."(Kai)

I got somethings to ask him too.

"What about you? How did you managed to do that in an instant?"(Sorata)
"My Skill Art. Cool Reflexes. A Novice Class because it only gets your reflexes to get faster. But it suits me the most."(Kai)
