Ch 91: Battle of Top 16
In the battle to choose the top 8, Lucian found himself against one of the favourites for the noble side, Issei Claus. Issei had won all of his matches very easily. With his mastery of his family's secret sword art, "Heavenly Delusion" and his family's legendary sword, "Falonture" he became insanely strong for a 12 year old.
His opponent on the other hand didn't have any such weapon or a secret art. So it looked like he was at a huge disadvantage. But Lucian had performed the best for the combat test so Issei was still very cautious of him.
As soon as the match started he used one of the abilities of his sword and sent a flying slash toward him. While Lucian was busy dodging it he used the ability of his footwear "swift steps" and his own skill "rapid dash". Not only that, he even used a wind magic spell "wind flow" to increase his speed to extreme and attacked Lucian from his blind spot with a quick horizontal slash.
