30 Chapter 28 Mizuchi (1/2)
The moment Kazama said ”Begin” a familiar sound rang out in Takemi's head.
”Ding! [System] has set a Mission! Say Mission to open the Mission tab of the [Type-Moon System]”.
Takemi didn't move but only opened the [Mission] tab and saw the contents of the mission.

2. [Winner Winner] - Defeat the Target

Takemi instantly closed the screen when he saw the rewards.
'50,000 TMP? Do you even need to ask?'.
His right hand, the one that was gripping the sword handle tightened and he looked at Yanagi who was eyeing him carefully. He was standing completely still, with his hands at his sides and hadn't gotten into a defensive or offensive stance.
Takemi narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. He spread his feet apart and moved his right leg and and raised his sword horizontally to that it was pointed at Yanagi.
[Reduced Earth].
In the time it took to take a breath he appeared in front of Yanagi whose eyes widened slightly before raising his palm and thrusting out at Takemi. The sound of metal hitting metal rang out and Takemi was pushed back. He didn't let up and the moment his feet touched the ground, Takemi unleashed a flurry of strikes all aimed at Yanagi's vitals.
It caused the man to smile and he dodged or parried every slash with his hands while constantly activating Magic Sequences on his joints and hands.
The fight was getting faster and faster with every moment, even the others behind the glass panel were a little shocked by Takemi's performance. His skill with the sword was astounding in it's own right but the use of physical techniques and magic left them speechless.
”How is he doing that! The time it takes to activate his Magic Sequence is so quick!”.
”I only see the light from his Activation Sequence! There's no sound or anything!”.
The corner of the Major General's mouth grew wider and wider with every passing moment.
'It seems I underestimated you Takemi.... let's see if you can get Yanagi to get serious....'.
The man in question had been stuck in the defensive the entire time, analyzing Takemi's swordplay before changing his stance and activating a Magic Sequence and catching Takemi's arm and throwing him away several dozen meters.
It created some distance between the two and Yanagi asked, ”Do you use two swords?”.
”Yes, I do. However the other one isn't finished yet”.
Yanagi nodded understandingly before moving his body sideways and raising his left arm and Takemi, his palm exposed.
”You haven't used any Magic yet”.
”Neither have you”, retorted Takemi
The Major smiled before activating a Magic Sequence and said, ”I told you not to hold back remember”.
Like Takemi, the Major seemingly disappeared before Takemi turned around and activated his own Magic Sequence completing it just as the Major struck.
The attack was heavy, even to Takemi whose strength rivaled Saber of Blacks. Yanagi whose hand was pressing down on Takemi's blade started to bleed and retreated.
He looked at his hand and smiled, ”You really are fast eh, Mikazuchi. You managed to create a Magic Sequence even after I had already moved behind you”.
Takemi only smiled before saying, ”You haven't seen nothing yet, Major”.
He sheathed his sword and pressed the second button from the top and heard a small click, indicating that the change in spells had occurred. Even though Varuna Astra had a total of five permanent spell slots, the sheath had five sets of ten, for a total of fifty Magic Sequences.
He hadn't even used a spell in the first one and decided to change as Yanagi's abilities in close quarters were rather disadvantageous to him.
He unsheathed his sword and pointed it tip and Yanagi and pulled the trigger.
In the time it took to blink, over ten Magic Sequences had appeared in the air, all pointing at Yanagi.
[Hale Particles]
It was a Magic that turned air molecules into ice particles and shot them with remarkable force at the enemy.
Yanagi wasn't surprised by the number or speed of the ice bullets and dodged them but was cut on the arm by a single one that changed direction at the last minute.
He was there was actually eleven sources of ice shooting at him and that Takemi's eyes started to glow golden.
”So that's what you meant Eyes. Very interesting Takemi. But-”.
Just as Yanagi was about to move, he felt a pressure push down on his body, and he looked up and saw a massive Magic Sequence above him.
”Press! But how its-... Loop Cast!”.
