Episode 4- Transfer Student Against the Genius Princess (Part Two)  [Redacted]

"Princess, let's hurry up and get the real fight started… this is getting boring," Shito said as he looked at the shocked girl that was standing before him. Tenka didn't know what to do after seeing that he completely negated her attack.

Shito put his hand forward, using magic to channel mana throughout the area. Since she was using a sword to fight against him, he also thought that he should use a sword.

Mana was filling the arena and you could see a sword, slowly forming into the world. It was a beautiful long sword that shined brightly like a star and the night sky. A sword that looked like a top-grade weapon.

Tenka looked at Shito with a confused face, while she did train her ass off to learn the sword because of her family's will, it was nearly impossible to train both because each one of the things took time to learn, and if a person could learn both they would be classified as a 'genius' and they could become a thing called magic-knight. A force that could use both magic and swordsmanship... There were only two people in history who ever learned to use both. One was the school's current principal Sara Mahinu and the other was a man who went by the name Graham.

Looking at her opponent, Tenka was not going to let him have his way any longer, she was ready to put an end to their fight so she could get him to leave the academy.

"Hyaaaaaahhhhhhh!!"

Tenka rushed towards him gripping the sword that was in her hand tightly, she was going to give it her all to attack him. She was swinging the precise accuracy and each one of her actions was with the sole intent of harming her opponent. Shito saw through all her movements and dodged them accordingly– but he immediately dodged her when he felt her charging up mana into her sword.

"Wow… You were actually planning to harm me."

"As I should! You are my enemy right now, so I should do everything in my power to make sure you get eliminated!"

True— that was one way to go about it, I'm simply the enemy she is desperately trying to get rid of to save her life at the academy. She wants to be able to stay here and have a fun time but she thinks I'm a threat, well, anyone who is as smart as she was would think that because of the way I was acting during my speech, even though I lead her and made her see me as a threat, I'm the one who created those who duel sense by manipulating her by using her past against her, being too over-cautious is a bad thing and she needs to learn that.

There were engaging in a sword fight, it was a one-sided fight in favor of Shito none of her sword strikes was enough to force him back, but each one of his was enough to have her shaking trying her best to hold her off. What was the point of all this pointless fighting? Why was he still planning around with her when he knew he could win? The answer was simple. He wanted her to know that being too overly cautious would put her in a bad position if she decided to take her opponents on like she did him without knowing how strong they were.

"Hey, she doesn't look like she is winning this fight." a second-year student said as he was analyzing the whole battle, they were having… he noticed as soon as they started the battle with swords that she was on the losing end.

"Yeah, you are right, she is getting pushed back by that transfer… it doesn't even look like a fair fight."  A third-year student said looking at the battle closely, he was analyzing the movements.

Five minutes had passed since the battle between the students had begun and Shito was still dodging her, he instantly noticed all the errors that were in her sword, still while she was strong in the sword, she did not refine her skills to the utmost.

—I finally got it, I analyzed her whole fighting style, the pattern in which she strikes, and how much strength she puts into each of her attacks… to put it simply every single movement of her was learned by me throughout the short time we were fighting.

Tenka noticed that something was off in the fight between them. Shito was dodging her, and she could not even hit him, all the attacks she used were being parried it was like he knew every attack that she was going to throw at him before it even happened.

Kuh! … His attacks are too strong. I need to do something about this or I'm going to lose this fight. I know he isn't taking me seriously right now, but I need to try my best to win this fight… or–

Her thought process was interrupted by an attack that was sent at her by Shito, he did not hesitate to swing his sword at her. There was no discrimination between females and males so if a girl decided to fight him, she would get the same treatment a male would get from him.

"Caliburn!" she called out to the long sword she was holding. The sword started to glow and a fiery red light that was the same color as her hair. "Burn my enemy to ashes."

The sword slightly hit the crowd cracks throughout the arena, and flames started to burst through the cracks. The flames were shining as bright as the sun. The heat that was radiating off the flames was enough to make people think that they were standing in front of the sun.

Thus, everyone in the arena begins cheering for Tenka because they get to see her strength on full display.

Talent that only the descendants from the Vermillion family could have, a talent that was above another's hard work, a talent that made even the hardest working people look like complete fools. But what was this talent that was unreachable by normal people?

Caliburn is a sword that was created purely from my mana, an unbreakable sword that could not weave in the battle between anyone. A sword that destroys anything in its path, this is the same sword that I will crave my own destiny with.

"So, are you ready to lose this fight… transfer student?"

"Now, I should really start to use magic in this fight, because you are making this battle even more interesting… you are using the flames from the cracks to completely seal me into one spot, so I have no chance of escaping."

"...How did you know what I was planning?!"

Shito suddenly disappeared into thin air leaving no trace of his presence behind, leaving Tenka and all the students confused. Where could he have gone in the arena that was covered in hot flames? There were no open spots in the arena and since she didn't get hurt by her own flames, she had no problem with covering the arena up with flames.

An ominous presence was standing behind her and the only thing she could feel was the cold glare that was directed at him from behind her back, a person that was so fast that they instantly attacked her defenseless body.

Looking back at the person behind her she noticed that Shito was standing directly behind her, he disappeared from in front of her sight and appeared in her blind spot in an instant.

He swings his sword at her. Tenka blocked it but she was barely able to hold a candle to the physical strength he had. Trying to win a physical clash with him was something that she couldn't do and Shito showed no signs of struggling whatsoever. In fact, his facial expression didn't change throughout the whole battle.

Strong! This boy is too fucking, strong and he is fast, what kind of training was able to create a monster like him?

With those thoughts, Tenka was on her knees trying to recover from the blow she just physically tried to block. While the boy might not have looked strong from the outside but if he was to physically hit someone, he would break serval bones in their body.

…Wait, there is no way that I should be losing this one-sidedly to a person who is in the same grade as me. I might need to use my full abilities to even be able to beat him… and there is the fact that he still hasn't used any magic-based attack in the whole time we have been fighting. I cannot show any signs of weakness, I cannot let anyone think I'm weak, and… I cannot let a person who could be a threat to the academy stay in this school.

Holding her head up high—There in front of her stood the transfer student, who was about to start attacking her back. He was already playing around, and it was about time that he finally put an end to the fight that would go on forever if he allowed it to.
