===Part 7===


“They have been defeated, huh. Both of them……”

Airi, which commented next to Lux, said so with a faint sigh.

“Yes. But, I think that they put up a fairly good fight. They have done this much against that Celis-senpai──”

Noct nodded in agreement, but immediately after, she asked a question.

“However, what on earth happened in the last offense and defense? The moment when Krulcifer-san slashed at Celis-senpai, I did not see anything as the area became dazzling, but……”

“She attacked herself…… Is what I think.”

“Eh?”

Airi and Noct were puzzled at the small voice which was heard next to Lux.

It was because Philphie, who was watching the battle absentmindedly so far, suddenly muttered so.

“──As I thought, it was that, huh.”

Even Lux, who was looking at the practice ground with a serious expression, could not help but nod.

“W-What do you mean, both of you? At that instant, what happened──?”

Airi questioned the two with a perplexed expression,

“At that time, Celis-senpai attacked herself with her <Lightning Lance>. And probably with an electric shock with high output near to maximum at that…… And then, it inflicted damage to Lisha-sama and <Tiamat> who was grappling her and she shook off the restriction.”

“No way──”

Even the usually composed Noct showed a surprised expression.

There were probably almost no people in this audience seating that noticed the offense and defense at that instant.

Celis, who received an unexpected attack by being grappled from behind, shot the Raisen regardless of the damage to herself, undid Lisha’s restriction and teleported with <Divine Gate>. Furthermore, she fired the other special armament, <Starlight Zero>, and decided the match.

Moreover, at that moment, she also used the flash by Raisen, that she attacked herself with, to blind Krulcifer.

Lux had heard that <Fafnir>’s Divine Raiment of future foresight was realized through the sight of Krulcifer who was its user. Thus, it might be invalidated by removing their visibility itself.

But, what Lux found frightening above all was the judgment and the ability to execute such a feat.

“Which reminds me…… I have heard it in the rumors. She seems to have a high disposition with the sword and as a Drag-Knight, but among them, she possesses a unique talent.”

Airi said as she remembered while looking at the practice ground.

“Memorizing tactics that cover all types of situations and swiftly executing the best countermeasures ── among the military officers of the capital, being able to do this seems to be called ‘Maneuvers on the Book’.”

“Maneuvers, on the Book……”

An instantaneous ability in thinking that allowed her to show a frightening reaction during only few seconds and reverse her predicament.

It was not just her skills of operating a Machine Dragon and <Lindwurm>’s high performance.

(That’s the academy’s strongest girl, huh……)

Lux once again felt her bottomless ability.

“…………”

Philphie lightly poked Lux’s shoulder from nearby.

“Lu-chan. Let’s go pay a visit to the two of them.”

“……Ah, yes. You’re right.”

For the time being, he was worried about Lisha’s and Krulcifer’s conditions.

Lux stood up and left the audience seating with Philphie and company.
