129 129.Illis vs. Aena (2/2)

”Okay. If you insist, I'll do it. But you won't regret it!

Oh, you two. Don't take it too seriously.

Shut up. This is just getting interesting.

Sir, this is serious business.

...... I don't blame you.

I walked up to the two of them as they heated up. They are both serious and do not take themselves too seriously - it's almost like killing each other.

Of course, they don't mean to kill each other, but...

You can't go any further.

Stop!

Sir, ......?

As I stepped into the gap between the two of them, I suppressed each of their weapons with my ”mock sword”.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

I respected their wishes, but this is school grounds. I'm the referee and I've decided that this is a dangerous fight.

”Oh, I'm sorry. Sensei, .......

”Hmm, that would have been interesting. ......

Iris looked apologetic, while Aena looked a little unhappy.

But they each followed my lead and put their weapons away.

I was afraid that they would not listen to me, but I am glad that we managed.

I'm glad we could work something out. ”Well, you did promise me a shot at ....... Are we done now?

”Yes.

Iris nodded at Aena's words.

Iris looked at her chest. Aena hit him in the side. You can see that each of them has been hit by a blow.

We both landed a blow just before I stopped.

So, this mock game is a draw. And you, Miss Aena.

What?

Please don't agitate my students too much. I'm a pretty hotheaded guy.

No, I'm not. ......

Haha, you're right. I was also excited to see Iris getting more and more excited. But I enjoyed it. Thank you.

...... Yeah, yeah. I haven't had a match without a mock sword in a while. It was fun.

Iris and Aena smiled at each other and shared their thoughts.

Then they began to talk about their mock match.

But Iris is swinging too hard, isn't she?　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

I've read that much about you. If you had stepped in, I would have ducked and decided to counter for sure.

”I've read that much too. Then what happened?

It was a backhanded blow. You know that's what I'm talking about.

It's getting a little heated, but I'm not going to interrupt this discussion.

...... I was wondering how this was going to go, but I think Aena is going to do well here.

”Then let's play the game again and decide?

I hope so!

I wonder if it's .......

I watched them interact and let out an involuntary sigh.
