Raikiri (Revision)

*BOOM*

The spring thunder suddenly roared, and golden lightning surged like waves, instantly numbing the scalp of the third-year student across from her and making his entire body tremble.

"—Raiou!"

Golden thunder and lightning struck, forming an arc like a giant bird made of thunder and lightning, opening its massive beak and pecking at the opponent. Even if the opponent deployed all their magical defenses, it was easily shattered by the beak.

The Natural Interference System type lightning is notoriously strong and better at destroying magical defenses compared to other types.

Moreover, the confrontation between magical attacks and defenses is essentially a confrontation of total magic power. The person with the higher total magic power has the advantage in magical battles.

That's why the League considers total magic power as the main indicator for level evaluation, and why Stella is regarded as a rare genius in ten years.

Touka's total magic power and magical control are rated B, which is very good, and her control over thunder is far superior to her opponent's.

"Wow—!! Is the student council president finally getting serious? So powerful! She broke through the top ten defense at the academy with a single strike. She really is the strongest at Hagun Academy! But why is she suddenly getting serious?"

"When you hear someone cheering, you can't help but want to show your best side, so girls this age are really innocent~!"

Nene was sitting at the commentary table, looking at someone in the far corner, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

On the field.

The powerful magical defense was breached, and Michiyuki's expression became panicked.

"—Shippu Jinrai!"

In the blink of an eye, Touka crossed a distance of more than ten meters under the stimulation of golden thunder.

The jet-black sheath containing the sword Narukami was covered with visible lightning currents.

"Bad...!"

Michiyuki's pupils shrank sharply.

He recognized that stance.

Because it was so famous, it became Touka's title. Anyone could find it on any website. It had absolute control over crossing distances. It was said that even the Seven Stars Sword King feared this Noble Art.

"—Raikiri!"

Touka screamed coldly.

At the same time, bright lightning illuminated the entire arena, instantly obliterating all vision.

The dazzling white light burned the entire field of vision, and incredible heat energy exploded in an instant.

Faced with this incredible speed, all actions were out of reach like a dream.

With just one strike, the result was already determined.

*BOOM*

Only after the electric light disappeared, did the deafening sonic boom resonate from the battle circle, echoing throughout the arena.

The airflow was shattered by the incredible electromagnetic force, turning into a raging storm that swept through most of the arena, affecting the entire audience.

Such a scene left the audience momentarily silent, then erupted into fanatical cheers.

This speed was much faster than the speed of sound.

This was the Noble Art Raikiri that Touka prided herself on!

As long as she swung her sword, there was no enemy she couldn't defeat and no obstacle she couldn't break!

However, why did Touka, who had such strength, not only lose to the Seven Stars Sword King Moroboshi Yuudai at last year's Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival but also fail to make the top three?

The recording of that match was still circulating on the Internet, and Hoshiharu had watched it long ago.

In fact, last year's Seven Stars Sword King Moroboshi Yuudai's Device was a spear, which had a larger cross range than a sword. He continuously widened the distance and avoided Touka's sword attack range, thus winning.

And this also proved the fact that last year's Seven Stars Sword King feared Raikiri Toudou Touka and didn't dare to face this attack head-on.

In the subsequent battle for third place, Touka didn't perform at all, so Bukyoku Academy's Asagi Momiji took third place.

It was said that Director Wakaba had a heart attack and was immediately hospitalized. Touka lost her sanity towards the competition and rushed back to her hometown in Fukuoka that day.

Because of this, Touka was only ranked fourth in the country last year... However, she was actually at least one of the top two in the country.

"There's a flash of lightning! Contestant Toudou Touka has defeated contestant Azuchiyama Michiyuki! At the same time, the referee raised his hand and crossed his arms. The winner has been determined and the match is over!"

On the playing field, Michiyuki fell unconscious to the ground. Touka sheathed her Device.

The surrounding auditorium cheered, celebrating the strongest school's victory.

Hoshiharu then stood up and left his seat.

No wonder.

"No wonder Totokubara Kanata said I'm no match for Senior Sister. It's not unreasonable."

Hoshiharu felt immense pressure.

Touka was very strong and talented; otherwise, she wouldn't have been favored by Nangou Torajirou.

Her physical strength and magic power were superior to Hoshiharu's in all aspects, and her conventional combat power was not weak. As for the Noble Art Raikiri, its speed was enough to compete with Hoshiharu's magical power exhaustion. It was comparable to the Lightning Flint he used.

After all, the upper limit of the speed he could achieve by activating Absolute Speed was determined by his magic power. With his current magic power, he could only reach supersonic speed at most. Once this speed was exceeded, the Noble Art would fail to activate.

This was also why his Blazer rank was only E-Rank. Otherwise, he would be promoted to n-Rank, or even A-Rank.

Moreover, upon careful consideration, it could be said that Raikiri was actually stronger.

Because Raikiri was an attack equipped with magic power, and Electromancers were famous for their attacks. On the Blazer information sheet, its attack power was rated as the highest A.

In contrast, because Hoshiharu used all his magic power to activate the Noble Art, no magic power was infused into the sword. Even if the sword's speed exceeded the speed of sound, its attack power was only rated at level C.

Now, if he fought against Touka... Hoshiharu worried he would lose more than win.

Although he had natural intuition, insight eyes that could see weaknesses in all movements, and was very skilled in sword fighting, he couldn't make a comeback due to the huge gap in magic power and physical strength.

In the final analysis, it was because he wasted too much time in the first fourteen years of his life.

In terms of magic power and physical strength, as long as he and Touka were on the same level in either, Hoshiharu was confident that he would never lose.

Training!

He still had to train!

Aside from magic power, at least in terms of physical strength, he could never relax!

"Oh, Junior Brother, you're so energetic and rare!"

As soon as Nene left the commentary table, she saw Hoshiharu walking towards her. Seeing his desperate expression, she couldn't help but fan her face with a fan.

"So, you should have realized it by now, right? What, are you going to agree to the condition I proposed this morning? As long as you agree, I can lend you Jibakujin anytime!"

"I've already found the answer... Let me tell you first, I won't dress up as a woman!"

"...Tsk!"
