Vs Kurogane Ikki

Ding...ding...

Stepping forward simultaneously, there was a sound of iron colliding.

When they collided, Ikki felt his hand go numb from the impact with Noah, however even though Ikki had strong physical strength, Noah's strength was even stronger.

Seeing he couldn't collide head-on, Ikki chose to dodge Noah's spear.

As Ikki dodged Noah's spear, he suddenly discovered that Noah's spear was continuing to chase him and was about to hit him, so he just blocked hastily.

Even though he managed to block, Ikki's left hand was still injured.

Seeing Ikki moving away, Noah didn't attack and waited for Ikki to attack first.

Seeing that Noah didn't move, Ikki knew that Noah had let him attack first.

Ikki approached Noah and slashed with a horizontal slash which was parried by Noah's spear swing.

Noah countered Ikki's attack with a straight stab, seeing Noah's attack, Ikki knew that he could only block it therefore he used one of his secret swords (Nanatsu no Hiken).

"Madoka"

Ikki received Noah's attack, took his power, then he spun himself as if making a circle, then sent it back as a counterattack.

Even though Ikki managed to make a counterattack, he also felt his hands hurt from having to receive Noah's powerful attack.

Seeing Ikki's counterattack, Noah simply swung his spear to block before sending a hurricane thrust at Ikki.

Seeing this, Ikki immediately uses "Itto Shura" to increase his strength and speed.

"Madoka" Ikki took Noah's attack before returning it, this time thanks to Ittou Shura's blessing, Ikki's strength increased, so he was able to match the power he took from Noah without feeling pain in his hands.

Seeing Ikki restore his technique, Noah continued to thrust the storm spear, so the tip of Noah's spear continued to collide with the tip of Ikki's sword.

Ding...ding...ding..

After a while, Noah used to add the power of time to his spear, making it 2x faster, so that Ikki couldn't react.

Bang...bang..

After being hit by Noah's attack and the side effects of Ittou shura, Ikki could only kneel on one knee with the help of his sword.

"Dalett"

Once the winner is determined, Noah heals Ikki's wounds and helps him up.

"Ikki, when you can avoid my spear, then you will be in the same world as Edelweiss, I believe that day will not be far away" said Noah while helping Ikki to stand up.

"I will definitely do it," said Ikki firmly. He will not be discouraged when he loses, and losing will only make Ikki's fighting spirit stronger.

"Then, I'll go first," said Noah as he turned around.

"I didn't expect you to give such a high evaluation to Ikki," said Kurono when she saw Noah in front of him.

Kurono had come during Noah and Ikki's match, however private matches could only be held after being given permission by the principal, so before the match Noah and Ikki had proposed a duel.

"Because I'm sure he will be able to achieve it soon," said Noah lightly.

"Hopefully" said Kurono without giving too much of a reaction, because she also knew that one day Ikki would definitely become Desperado because of the determination he had.

"Speaking of which, I really want to fight you, after all our device abilities have some similarities" Noah said lightly and didn't hide his desire to fight Kurono.

It is true that their devices have several similarities, namely that they can both manipulate time.

Even though time manipulation was only one of Aeternum's many abilities, there was no doubt that Noah was the most skilled at using that ability because time manipulation was the first one Noah used.

"Oho... Then I also want to discuss time with you" said Kurono.

"Then see you," said Noah leaving the training ground.

Seeing Noah leave, Kurono also turned to leave.

The next morning Noah waited for Stella in the academy garden.

What Noah didn't expect was that he saw Ikki walking from a distance.

"Ikki are you waiting for someone?" Noah asked when Ikki also seemed to be waiting for someone.

"I'm waiting for my sister, Shizuku, how about you?" Iki answered.

"I'm waiting for Stella," answered Noah. Only then did they feel something was wrong and exchanged glances with each other.

While Noah and Ikki were talking, not far away, Stella and Shizuku came at the same time.

After seeing them together, both Noah and Ikki finally knew what was wrong.

It turns out that today is not a single date, but a double date.

"Sorry to make you wait so long," said Stella and Shizuku.

"Not long, then let's go," said Noah.

Hearing this, Stella stepped forward and held Noah's arm between her breasts.

Feeling the gentle touch from his arm, Noah's heart began to beat fast.

Seeing that Noah didn't withdraw his hand, Stella smiled and continued to hold Noah's hand.

Seeing Stella's brave behavior, Shizuku also didn't want to be outdone and held Ikki's hand.

Even though Shizuku's breasts weren't as big as Stella's, they still made Ikki feel a soft touch on his arm.

Even though he knew this was wrong, Ikki didn't withdraw his hand.

Since childhood, Ikki was treated unfairly in the Kurogane family and only Shizuku cared about him, so as long as Shizuku was happy, Ikki would do anything.

Because of Noah's intervention, Stella and Ikki were destined not to be a couple, so Shizuku had no rivals competing for Ikki's love. It could be said that as long as Shizuku put in a little effort, Ikki's downfall would not be far away.
