It had only been ten minutes since the start of the battle. Touka was already the only one left standing on the field among the Hagun Academy student council officers.
"How about giving up already?"
At the voice of Ouma whose words dripped with disdain, bitterness spread over Touka's face.
Unlike the others, Touka's body had not suffered a single wound. However, she was no match for Ouma.
After Stella and the others escaped, Touka considered the power of the remaining members, and challenged him knowing that she was the only one who could serve as his opponent, but to her surprise Ouma had put away his Device Ryuuzume and stood there defenselessly. And more than that—
"I have no interest in turning my blade against a girl weaker than myself. If you wish to fight no matter what—one stroke is enough. Try to make a mark on my body. If you can do so, I'll be your opponent."
And he folded his arms, closed his eyes, and stood upright―with no concern for the kind of knight he was facing.
To say that she felt no ire from such conduct would be a lie. But on the other hand, such arrogance and carelessness was a rare opportunity for Touka.
Ouma, who had done away with Stella easily. His strength was real. And here he was in front of her drawn sword, completely defenseless.
She had no intent of letting this opportunity pass from under her nose. Ouma was insulting his enemy with abundant negligence. Without hesitation, Touka slashed at the defenseless Ouma using Raikiri and all her might. Drawing out her strength, leaving nothing out. Angle. Speed. It was a perfect strike.
Supposing it was a miscalculation, Ouma's arrogance was born of self-confidence and the difference between their power.
Her direct hits with Raikiri had not been able to leave a wound on Ouma's body.
In ten minutes. No matter how many times, the result was the same. She had cut through his clothes a little, but not through the thinnest bit of his skin.
What she felt with her hands every time she slashed was… a mountain. As if she was striking at an enormous mountain with a sword, a response that was too solid.
What is this abnormal defensive power…!?
As far as Blazer fights go, there were phenomena like this. There were cases where the difference in magic capacity was this absolute. Right, like the first match between Ikki and Stella.
But there can't be such a huge difference between Ouma-san's magic capacity and mine…!
And as it turns out, Touka is right. Both her and Ouma have rank B magic capacity, which is what determines how strong is the defensive shield of a Blazer and plays a significant part in how they interact with attacks. But there's something over at the Rakudai wiki about Ouma binding his body with high-pressure air or something, so that could be the reason.
