Editing Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut:Volume 3 Episode 4 (section)

===Part 2===

The spectator seats of the practice ground watching over the battle of the two were greatly stirred.
 

「Wha, what is that? Why is Saniya-senpai’s weapon smashed just from defending──」

「Err, I don’t understand but, the weapons are more or less destroyed, so in this situation Lux-kun is at an advantage, isn’t it?」

「Wha, whatever it is, Lux-kun do your best─!」

 

Bewilderment towards the baffling phenomenon and voices that rooted for Lux’s superiority could be heard from the spectator seats.

In contrast, the third year students were staring at that sight with dumbfounded expressions.

「──Fuh. As expected, it seems that no one understands what is going on huh.」

At the halfway up of the spectator seats that were created in steps, familiar members were gathering on the seats with good view.

Lisha and Krulcifer came to watch after they finished their examination in the medical office regardless of the order for them to rest. Aside from them there were Airi and the Triad’s members.

「……What in the world could that be?」

When Airi asked with a vaguely discomposed look, Lisha smiled lightly.

「Fufu, do you want to know? That is the secret weapon that I invented. Actually you see──」

「To speak the principle, it’s simply a counter attack, by matching the opponent’s attack.」

「Wait, oi! Krulcifer!? Don’t expose it early!」

Lisha snapped at Krulcifer who nonchalantly said that from the side.

But, ignoring that, Tillfur lifted her face.

「Counter, you say? But, isn’t it strange? It only looks like that Lux-chi is simply defending the attack though──?」

Lisha reacted to that question and answered it immediately.

「Well, it’s like that. Though this time, Lux is using a special weapon and defense method. If I have to explain it simply, the large Blade Lux is using this time is forming a force field on its edge like a Drag-Ride’s barrier. In other words it has the power to repel back the enemy’s attack.」

「Yes. If it’s something like that, even I can understand. But, why did Saniya-senpai’s weapons get destroyed? Was it simply because her attacks were repelled……?」

This time it was Krulcifer who turned her head to Noct’s question.

「Yes, exactly. However, by focusing that attack’s strength to the edge part and the tip, the power is heightened. It’s something obvious, but even attacking is accompanied by danger. If our wrist is aimed at and a blade is put on the path while we are swinging down a sword──what will happen?」

「That’s──」

Noct reflexively gulped.

So to speak it would be like someone’s punch was blocked with the tip of the blade.

The opponent would stay unmoved while the attacker would be destroyed by their own strength.

「By using the strengthened barrier that is generated from the Blade, the point from where the enemy’s attack is sprung forth will be forced back as it is, destroying it in return. In case the opponent is using a gun, the sword tip will push on the gun muzzle and make it burst.」

「────」

Airi and the others were speechless hearing the content of the explanation.

Because that technique wasn’t as simple as it sound.

Different from defense that originally was only repelling or parrying attack, this tactic was accompanied by various dangers.

This technique would need the user to see through the enemy’s attack accurately and aimed at the weak spot with unusual precision and speed.

If even a single motion got out of order, it would be the user themselves that got done in instead.

Destroying a weapon’s weak point by blocking it, if an example had to be made it was a feat that was like striking the flat side of a sword using a hammer for smithing and snapping the sword.

That in itself could be possibly done by anyone if they had a certain degree of ability, but in the end that was only the case if the sword was put on a stand and fixed in place so it wouldn’t shift.

Doing such an act towards a sword that was being swung towards oneself should be impossible by all rights.

It was a tactic that was possible only for Lux who could see through an opponent’s attack preparatory movement perfectly and then predicted it.

This special move exclusive for Wyvern that was named as 『Critical Hit』, was completed at the intensive training last night.

「Bu, but, that sword that laid out barrier like a shield, could it be, Lisha-sama was the one who made it?」

「Yeah, after Lux formally enrolled, I was thinking about various things. I managed to make a prototype but, this is the first time it’s thrown into a real battle.」

「Yo, you went as far as making a new weapon!? It’s original!? Such thing, I still haven’t heard anything like that even in another country──」

「I was only making the transmission of barrier to reach until the edge part of the great sword too. It’s not at the level of me making it myself. Well, even just doing that much caused me to feel frazzled every day though……」

Lisha rubbed her eyes sleepily, ‘fuaa’, and she yawned.

It seemed that Lisha was completely worn out from improving the Blade night after night added with the mock battle yesterday.

「……So far as it goes, I’m also thinking of various things as the princess of the new kingdom you know? By using that, then even in a situation where Lux can only use Wyvern he will still be able to have enough destructive power. Just by intercepting attacks, if it’s an Abyss of middle level, that technique will be able to pulverize it just like that. In other words with this the chance Lux will be able to show his real strength in Syvalles too will increase properly.」

The chance for Lux to use Bahamut was limited in order for him to hide his real identity and also because of the fierce energy consumption rate.

Thus Lisha thought of a plan so that Lux could fight even while still wearing Wyvern. She moved into action and brought it into reality.

「Well, it can also be said that more than half of it is relying on his technique, but I’ll honestly say that I respect your achievement.」

「……I don’t feel that it’s a praise at the slightest though. Is it fine to take it as a sore loser’s talk? Hey Krulcifer.」

Krulcifer who coolly spoke and Lisha whose eyebrows and the corner of her mouth twitched hearing that.

「Both of you, it’s nice and all that the two of you are getting along competing for Nii-san, but it looks like it will be over already you know?」

When Airi muttered that with a reproachful gaze, loud cheers suddenly rose from the spectator seats.

While a small battle was also being held over here, the match of the campus selection battle was decided.
