Anyway, since we apparently have Ikki's AP out of the way for now, there are a few things i want to talk about. Let's start with the easiest one: Tsuruya's Satin Ice.
The magic she unleashed from her monocle -a rare sight among Devices- was one that could instantly reduce the temperature of a selected area within her vision to Absolute Zero.
"Satin Ice!"
A glaring light wrapped in a frigid, cutting shroud shot forth from the monocle.
This magic's speciality was that its effect triggered instantly upon her focusing on a target. In other words, this magic travelled at what was effectively the speed of light.
[...]
The light in Mikoto's eyes instantly turned to magic.
Along her line of sight, sword-like pillars of ice burst out along the ground as they crossed the space between her and Stella, as though she intended to freeze it all.
ÒÇîOnce again, Tsuruya goes on the offensive, launching attack after attack of Satin Ice at Stella, who for her part is staying out of her vision! The Crimson Princess' mobility, too, is top-notch! Yet, why is she dodging this desperately? Satin Ice was easy meat for Empress Dress previously!ÒÇì
ÒÇîIt's...not the same as before. The technique itself is several times stronger. See, as far as I know, the Icy Sneer is only able to freeze a spherical space about 3 meters in diameter at the focal point of her vision. But right now, she is freezing everything in sight. The power of her Noble Art is now on a whole new level. That she had been hiding such an ace up her sleeve...shocking. A Noble Art like this might just be able to freeze the Crimson Princess' flames!ÒÇì
Even as Muroto spoke thus, the chance Mikoto had been waiting for arrived.
Stella had been dodging with swift steps, but she was hard-pressed to continue dodging a Noble Art that could reach lightspeed.
A few statements about it's speed. I was wondering if this would be accepted as actual lightspeed, considering it shoots light at it's targets. And before anyone says it can't be lightspeed because Stella was dodging it, Satin Ice can only freeze things in Tsuruya's sight, and it was mentioned that Stella was staying out of sight. As soon as she didn't have anywhere else to go, she got hit. If this is accepted, it would apply only to Tsuruya's attack speed, and nothing else. What do you guys think?
Also, we might as well rename this thread to "Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry Stat Check", since we ended up talking about a lot of other characters, lol.
