Mayumi watched him carefully.
"You are still not going to use magic?"
'She knows that as well... She probably spent the past week investigating her opponent - how diligent.'
"I will."
"When?"
Elion's mismatched eyes brightened.
"When you give me a reason to."
Mayumi disappeared again.
This time, even Marilyn struggled to follow her movement clearly.
Boom!
A deafening explosion tore through the arena as Mayumi appeared directly in front of Elion, her sword thrusting towards the centre of his chest.
Elion moved sideways.
The tip passed beside his clothes by less than an inch.
Mayumi immediately rotated the blade and slashed upwards.
Elion blocked it, but the force behind the attack finally pushed him several steps backwards.
She followed without giving him time to recover.
Her attacks became faster with every exchange, forcing Elion to move across the arena as steel clashed against steel dozens of times within only a few seconds.
