Kenshi o Mezashite Nyūgaku Shitanoni Mahō Tekisei 9999 Nandesukedo! ? Chapter 15 (1/2)

Chapter 15: It’s after-school desu

Either the Warrior Department or the Magic Department, students that had will to learn went to their training grounds after school, and do self-practice.

And, having trainings together with the students of the different department is also not unusual.

Warrior that can use magic.

Magician that can do close quarter combat.

The more that they can do, the more that they became more useful as an adventurer.

Of course, the choice of raising one special skill is not a wrong choice.

The point is, they just needed to be stronger.

And right now, in the middle of the Warrior Department training grounds, two girls are engaged with fierce exchange of swords.

One is red-haired. With an expressionless face that wouldn’t tell what she is thinking, her body is slender. On the other side of that ephemeral air in her, the sword in her hands is humongous. Just like a chunk of steel.

While gripping that large sword properly, the red-haired girl releases merciless slashes.

Facing her, a more smaller pet.i.te girl. The young girl that still haven’t reached 10, held a two-handed sword with both of her hands, and boldly slas.h.i.+ng back.

The sword that she hold was long compared to her height. But with the ridiculously large sword that her opponent uses, it doesn’t stand out at all.

Everyone in the training grounds, was absorbed in the fight of the two girls.

Because, one of them is being said as the strongest freshmen of the Warrior Department, Anna Arnett.

The other one, defeated an instructor in a head-on battle a few days ago, Laura Edmonds.

Thinking about it normally, Laura would surely win in a real fight. It would end in seconds.

But, this is a mock battle using swords.

Laura has sealed her best skill.

Even so, Laura’s apt.i.tude in the sword was higher than Anna’s. But, the time put in sword training, Anna who is in the Warrior Department was longer.

That’s why, the winner cannot be predicted.

The attack and defense were lead by Anna since earlier.

The sword that Anna uses as an attack very large, so it was very simple.

Swing it down, or swing it side wards, or thrust it.

Of course, she can do other movements than that, but those three were the only one she could do in an instant.

To Laura, all of those were easy to read.

Even so, she was having a difficult fight.

The speed of Anna’s slash, is very fast.

And since the reach is longer, the movement needed to dodge is bigger. Laura couldn’t jump inside the waist of her opponent at all.

When she received it, her arms will get numb. She almost dropped her sword.

She doesn’t know how it was seen from the side, but in Laura’s point of view, it was all on the defense.

And that is not limited to today, it was like that since the last week.

She couldn’t reach it with only one step.

Even if Laura thought that she had a one step forward, by that time, Anna also had stepped forward.

There isn’t a more frustrating thing than that, and a more fun thing than that.

And right now, Laura’s tension has reached its maximum. Her five senses had sharpened. She watched Anna’s every movement not letting escape any of it.

(Now!)
