Episode 139: Full Power and Full Power

(Note: Special for this chapter, dialogues through speaker, faraway voice, or telephone are in ‘……’.)

“Eh? Onii-chan, what’s wrong?” 

Rindou appeared. And despite her happy expression, she sounded confused. 

“I was ordered by the Branch Manager. I’ll be your opponent.” 

“…Eeeeeh!? I have to fight Onii-chan!?” 

Kyouka never expected to fight Rindou. She exclaimed in surprise. And just then, Kenji’s voice came from the speaker. 

‘Sorry, miss. However, it seems we can’t truly see your abilities with these dolls. I decided to have your Onii-chan to cooperate with the test.’ 

“’Onii-chan’,huh…?” 

Rindou let out a wry smile at Kenji’s choice of words. With that explanation, Kyouka then straightened her expression and spoke. 

“…I understand! Onii-chan, I’ll give it my all!” 

Having watched Kyouka’s previous battle, Rindou was honestly hoping she wouldn’t come at him with all her strength. 

However, Kyouka had been bedridden in the hospital for so long. The fact that she was now able to give her all made Rindou happy. And he was ready to accept her full power. 

“Got it. Then I’ll go all out too.” 

That’s why Rindou was also determined to give his all. 

In fact, he believed that if he didn’t do so, he wouldn’t be able to withstand Kyouka’s full power. 

‘Alright, the signal will come from us. Prepare yourself.’ 

Following Kenji’s words, Rindou picked up a wooden sword. While Kyouka already held an ice sword in her hand. 

The two faced each other in the center of the training room. 

‘Let’s begin. Match—start!’ 

“[Ice Bullet]!” 

Kyouka took the first move. 

As soon as the match started, she shot an [Ice Bullet]. She was trying to probe Rindou’s movements. 

“Hmph!” 

On the other hand, Rindou didn’t intend to reveal his hand from the start. He used his wooden sword to slash through the [Ice Bullet]. 

“I’ll go for another one! [Ice Bullet]! [Boost]!” 

This time, she launched an [Ice Bullet] and immediately boosted herself, charging forward. 

With swift sword movements, Rindou cut through the [Ice Bullet]. He dodged with minimal movement while keeping his eyes on Kyouka’s actions. 

When the ice sword swung at him, he clashed his wooden sword with it. The point of contact began to freeze. 

“This is bad…” 

“I won’t lose!” 

Rindou dropped his wooden sword and jumped back. Kyouka confidently shouted at him. 

When he grabbed another wooden sword that had been leaning against the wall, he moved forward this time. 

“I’ll freeze you again!” 

“[Magic Sword: Flame Sword]!” 

Rindou decided that if they clashed their swords again, they would reach the same result as before. So he activated his [Magic Sword]. 

“Eh!? The sword is burning!?” 

“Now, let’s see if it freezes or melts, it’s the showdown!” 

The burning wooden sword and the ice sword clashed. 

Steam filled the training room. It made it impossible to see from the control room. 

Even so, the sounds of their swordplay could still be heard. It was proof that Rindou and Kyouka were still fighting. 

“Ugh! This steam is so annoying!” 

Irritated by the poor visibility, Kyouka froze the steam itself with ice. 

The temperature in the training room dropped sharply, and their breath became visibly white. 

“How about this!” 

“[Reflection].” 

“Huh?” 

Right after, Rindou shattered the frozen steam with his [Iron Wall Reflection]. It scattered the fragments all over the place. 

“Ahh!?” 

“Match over.” 

“Ah…” 

Taking advantage of Kyouka’s surprise, Rindou approached her from behind. He deactivated his [Magic Sword], and placed the wooden sword against her neck, ending the match. 

‘Match over! Winner, Rindou Amachi!’ 

Kenji’s voice echoed from the speaker, and Rindou let out a small breath. Kyouka clenched her fist in frustration.
