"Akihisa, I worked hard with you all the way to this extent. I won't forgive you if you lose!"
"I know. Thanks for teaching me. Didn't expect your mind to be pretty good."
"Everyone's good when compared to you--now, we're going!"
Yuuji's summoned beast is the first one to move. Its equipment is a lot lighter, and thus, it's a lot more agile.
"Tsunemura! Leave this to me!"
The mohican-head sempai frantically stands in front of Yuuji. As he was too slow, he let Yuuji's summoned beast get close to him.
"Then my opponent would be sempai."
"Bring it on! I just got distracted, stop getting cocky!"
The baldy-sempai's summoned beast raises its sword as it attacks me from the front.
It's fast, but--
"Sempai, you're too panicky, you know? This simple sudden attack is basically inviting me to dodge--"
I slightly move my upper body aside. This straightforward attack that wasn't even thought through won't even cut the edge of my jacket.
"Damn it, you bastard...!"
Though the opponent reveals his belly as he attacks, he still manages to turn around and swing his sword over.
"Ho!"
I slightly move my body away to avoid this attack, and in this instant, I strike him 3 times.
"GWAAH!"
The baldy sempai barely manages to use his sword to shield himself and takes a huge step back to regain his posture.
"You damn brat, you averaged only about 60 points during the summoning battles..."
The baldy-sempai's tone changes as he glares at me. Seems like they collected some information on our battles.
"Except for this subject, my standard now isn't a whole lot different from what it was before."
"Damn you...you planned this right from the start...?"
"That's right. You're pretty understanding."
I swing my wooden sword at baldy-sempai, who's biting his teeth hard and revealing a vengeful expression. Since my marks are so high, my wooden sword's so strong that it won't break in a direct clash with the opponent's sword.
"What now? Sempai doesn't look so good."
"You two bastards, you're from class F..."
The conversation between Yuuji and the mohican-head sempai can be heard. Yuuji's light summoned beast is matching his opponent's attacks with his agile moves.
"Can't be helped. Though it's a bit childish to use this on second-years, let me teach you what's the difference in experience!"
After saying that, baldy-sempai's summoned beast moves back. Besides me, even baldy-sempai himself is a lot further away. If even the controller's a lot further away, what's he planning? It's tougher for a summoned beast to do battle if he's standing a lot further away.
"There're some tricks you don't know."
Baldy-sempai said some unexpected words to me while I was still confused. Now that he said this, I'll be focused on the opponent's summoned beast whether I like it or not. Just as I'm focusing on every single motion of the opponent's summoned beast, the opponent summoned beast looks like it's about to charge forward.
