As the clown made his play and the instructor made his interference, everyone took their places.
"I will leave it to you…"
"Hmm?"
Before I could proceed, I heard a small whisper behind me coming from a familiar voice.
Aliya left with a smile on her face, nodding as she walked to the chamber with one of her friends. This left Emma and me partnerless, in other words, partners.
'What are you doing?' I thought, not understanding her intentions. 'Are you trying to protect your friends or something?' Considering Emma's emotions, it was highly possible that she would lose control of the spar.
As the other students filed into their designated chambers with their sparring partners, I was just standing face-to-face with Emma. The tension between us was palpable, the air heavy with unresolved grievances. In a way, the scars of childhood never faded away.
Emma's grumble broke the silence. "Just my luck," she muttered under her breath, her arms crossed defiantly. "Of all people, I end up sparring with you."
Hearing this girl's annoying voice, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. 'Believe me, I don't like sticking with you either.'
"Oh, believe me, the feeling is mutual," and the words left my mouth instead of staying in my head, as my tone was filled with sarcasm.
Emma shot me a withering glare, her eyes brimming with unspoken frustration. The way Arthur had acted already put a stool on her mentality, as I could see her clenched fists. "Fine, let's get this over with. Don't expect me to go easy on you."
Since I was known for my magical capabilities, in her eyes, I should look like an easy opponent, at least when it comes to swords. But, of course, that is not true.
I couldn't resist a smirk. "Oh, I wouldn't dream of it." The more I saw her agitated response, the more I felt joy. 'Is that why people like bullying others? It is quite fun.' I thought. Of course, the thing I have done would come quite short compared to what bullies have done, but whatever.
"Tch!" As she said with a grumble, she entered the chamber, taking the sword provided by the academy.
Following her, I, too, entered the chamber while taking the sword provided by the academy.
It was nothing fancy, just a simple short sword. Because the topic of this spar was swords in general, everyone had the same sword in their hands.
'It had been quite a long time since I wielded another sword than Nihil.' I thought, swinging the sword for a second to get used to the feeling. Of course, it wasn't basically possible to get used to using a new sword in just a second, but I still did nonetheless.
Then, as I put the bracelet on, as well as Emma, the familiar feeling of my strength sealing erupted inside.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
