Book 4: Chapter 135: A Clash of Lightning Speed

"Come at once, you two."

Ashuka said in a calm tone.

Demilia and Georg's eyes narrowed when they heard his confident remark. In fact, neither of them ever doubted his prowess. After all, it was not a child's play to enter into this school. But he also should have known the value of time spent in this schoolthe longer they spent here, the more they got stronger.

So, it was normal for there to be a difference in battle power between the students who had been in this school for long and the students who had just transferred here.

"Huh? Are you sane?"

"Didn't you hear me? I don't like to repeat things."

Ashuka's word surprised even Schultz-sensei. Demilia wedges himself between him and Ashuka.

"It seems like your stock value is at the rock bottom in the mind of the new transferee, huh, Georg."

"Get out of my way, Demilia."

"Don't be like that. It's a good chance to show him a glimpse of America's true power, and that why everyone back at home dreaded our coordination. Besides...we must let him know why he shouldn't make light of the time we spent here."

"Shut up. I don't need anyone's help."

"You think you can say that after your failure in the exam? Like I said, we must do it together. Your petty pride isn't even worth a penny, throw it."

"......"

Georg couldn't put any rebuttal at the sound argument.

Schultz-sensei, the referee in this match, asked the three.

"The name is Damon, right...Are you serious? Both of them are top students in the first years. Demilia, in particular, scored first in the test last time, while Georg was ranked 4th."

"I don't mind. This just makes them perfect."

"Great, you have quite a backbone for real, Ashuka. I like your self-confidence, unlike the yellow. Well, I just hope you don't turn out a swordsman, though!"

Demilia flashed a mocking smile as he turned his gaze toward Tenji, who was staring at the scene among other onlookers.

Pyne, standing next to Tenji, huffed seeing that mocking gaze. Ashuka, too, sent an annoyed Demilia's way for some reason.

"It's not something for american to stick their nose in."

"It's the same thing......here as well."

Ashuka's figure disappeared before anyone could catch wind of it. Demilia's magic bullet and Georg's drop kick cut through the empty air.

"Wha---!?

"The hell?"

Demilia let out an exclamation at the happening but before he could take any further action, a shadow appeared behind him.

"......Heavenly White Snake."

And out of nowhere, he found a pure white blade resting on his throat. Perhaps to urge a quick surrender, the scant edge of the blade was slightly pressed against his throat, causing the trickle of red blood to accompany the blade's edge.

The shadow behind Demilia, needless to say, belonged to Ashuka, who showed not a hint of fatigue. Only when his long black hairs flutter on his vision that Demilia finally realised what actually happened.

"W......when did you......"

The shock in the heart of Demilia was already beyond critical point, now replaced by the fear toward Ashuka's snake-like eyes.

He hadn't taken her eyes off him for even a moment. While Ashuka seemed to be observing here, Demilia, who had launched an attack from behind, was observing the entire training ground in George's place to be able to respond to attacks from any direction, not just Ashuka's.

However he didn't get the hint of when Ashuka arrived behind him, much less about the sword resting against his throat.

"......How did you do?

"I don't have any obligation to tell you."

Georg also realised Ashuka's whereabouts only then. He hurriedly shifted the direction of his body and put himself on maximum vigilance against Ashuka.

"That's pletely disappeared in an instant."

"Georg, was it?"

"Yes?"

"You lack enough vigilance."

Ashuka said, glancing at Georg's feet mockingly. That instant, a part of the floor began to glow in a circular pattern and a countless white thread-like something wound around Georg to entrap him.

Georg panicked and immediately tried out his skill to make a breakthrough, however his body had already become the prisoner of those things. Soon, even his legs were binded as he collapsed to the floor, his entire body coiled up by the white thread-like thing.

"That's enough!"

Schultz-sensei's signal for the end echoed within the training ground.
