Chapter 227 - . Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [24] (2/2)

We’re talking about the curious Ria after all.

I’m sure she’ll be wondering about today’s incidents and find out about Valentine’s Day in the near future.

(For that to happen, I have to train more!)

On this day next year, I’ll be an even stronger and finer swordsman to get a chocolate from her.

With such ambition in my heart,

「Fuh! Ha! Sei!」

Faster than usual.

Stronger than usual.

Sharper than usual.

I put all my heart into it and swung my sword over and over again.

About an hour later, all of a sudden, scorching black flames came at me from the front.

「Wha!?」

It was neither fast nor slow. There was no hostility, nor the intent to kill.

It was a strange attack as though it was asking me to defend it.

「HA!」

I cut off the approaching black flames with a side sweep.

(This is, no way?)

I was all too familiar with the attack just now.

And as I fearfully looked in the direction of the attack,

「Ri, Ria!?」

She, who had developed〈Fafnir〉, walked up to me slowly.

「Allen, let’s have a match.」

「A match?」

「Yes, that’s right. If you could beat me this, I will give you this!」

She said so and took out an unbelievable thing out of her pocket.

「T-That is!?」

「Yes. Valentine’s Chocolate! O-Of course, I handmade it too. And… I also perhaps put in… L-L-Love and stuff…!」

With her face flushed, Ria shouted with her voice trembling.

「Fuu…」

An incredible big event occurred suddenly. In front of it, I clenched my fist tightly and exhaled loudly.

「O-Oh? …Y-You don’t want it?」

On the other hand, Ria spoke with a voice that seemed like she would start crying at any moment.

And I,

「Destroy -〈Zeon〉!」

Replied an answer with all my might.

The entire Thousand Blade Academy was covered in abyss-like darkness, and the world was dyed “black”.

The darkness raged as though my desire materialized, and it kept surging out non-stop.

「O-Oi-Oi what!? This ridiculous output?」

「This evil spiritual power unmistakably belongs to Allen Rodore! And the other party is… Ria Vesteria!?」

「Are those two fighting!? What’s the matter with you two? A lover’s quarrel!?」

Noises broke out from various places in Thousand Blade Academy.

I am very sorry to cause a problem, but I wish they would overlook it this time.

After all, Ria’s handmade chocolate is at stake in this match.

I gripped the True Black Sword which I am materialising after a long time, and assumed Seigan no Kamae.

「This time, I’m going to win no matter what! I’m going to give it my all, Ria!」

「Yes! Come, Allen!」

She gripped her sword with a very happy expression for some reason.

This is how the fierce battle between me and Ria began.
