"Tatsuya-san can you fill me on the details and please release Kirihara-san maybe we will be able to reach an understanding if we conversed." said Ichizu as he turned to Artoria and said with a smile.
"Instructor Artoria ,I will be troubling you to handle the fallen Kendo club members whom I have knocked unconscious."
"Of course as their instructor it's my responsibility to guide them, I apologize for their unruly behaviour." replied Artoria.
"Haha...that isn't a problem after all you just joined the school and it's our first day. They will get to know you better with time." said Ichizu as he looked at Kirihara who had been released by Tatsuya from his grip.
"Now Kirihara-san and Sayaka-san please tell me why is there a division in the Kendo club.???" asked Ichizu in a polite tone.
Sayaka and Kirihara stood right next to each other. Even though they were seniors since Ichizu was a first year student but they knew that he was not someone they could afford to offend.
What a joke!!!. Ichizu and Nikasu are two princes of the Ruujiki clan of Illusions not only they will lead their clan in the future but also were absolute geniuses. Further more Ruujiki clan was known to be overprotective of its members. Though no Ruujiki every would intentionally cause trouble for others.
But if others were to do so they the clan would immediately deal with the offender ,irrespective of their background.
Even if Sayaka's father was a high-ranking official in the government, if she were to offend Ruujiki's then even her father wouldn't be able to save her from Ruujiki clan's wrath.
"I just wanted to prove Sayaka that if course-1 students were to fight against others, they would emerge victorious with their high magic capabilities ,it wouldn't matter if she is extremely skilled in swordsmanship or any other fighting technique." stated Kirihara.
"So you are saying that course-2 students are just trash because they aren't skilled in magic even though they have attained high achievements in other fields." said Sayaka while gridding her teeth together.
"I am just stating the fact Sayaka, so what if you are skilled in swordsmanship. When against someone who is adept in magic you can only give up..." retorted Kirihara.
Seeing Kirihara's behaviour Tatsuys shook his head and thought 'No...you are wrong Magician are that strong, in face of someone adept in martial way and knowledgeable about magic. A magician wouldn't even know what killed him.'
Tatsuya understood this point very clearly that's why he learned Taijutsu from Yakumo ,so to not only become better in combat but to also minimize the need of him using magic.
"Whether Course-1 students are superior or Course-2 are trash, I won't speak on it as I myself don't believe in this course-1 ,course-2 crap. But I do have one thing to say...."
"Who said that pure martial powress useless...." said Ichizu with a smile on his face.
"Do you mean to say that a normal sword wielder can fight against a magician.????" asked Kirihara with a snort.
Instead of answering Kirihara's question ,Ichizu asked him a question instead "Tell me Kirihara, when you used *Sonic blade* on Sayaka wasn't it defected backwards.???"
"It was but wasn't that because Sayaka used her Magic.???" asked Kirihara visibly confused.
Even though course two students weren't much talented it didn't mean that they were just trash altogether. This was First high school ,if one was able to pass the examination it that meant that ,that person is an elite amongst elite.
"Instructor Artoria, I would request you to explain what happened." Instead of answering Kirihara Ichizu yet again passed on the question on someone else.
Everyone's eyes were focused on this beautiful golden-haired instructor of Kendo club.
Artoria smiled and said "As members of Kendo club everyone would know about *intent*. Their are many types of intents which exist but I won't be going in detail about them."
"The two most mentioned kinds of intent are *Killing intent* and *Sword intent*."
"*Killing Intent* is a murderous aura which emits from a person when they desire to harm someone. People who have experienced bloody battles and/or have already killed others tend to have much stronger Killing Intent than an ordinary person."
"Experts may be able to disguise their Killing Intent, as well as intentionally release it as a form of mental attack."
"*Sword Intent* is somewhat similar to Killing Intent. A dangerous aura emitted from a sword or master swordsman which causes others to feel as if they're about to be cut by a sword."
"After reaching a certain level, experts can even create physical manifestations (consisting of energy and their knowledge of sword-arts) with their Sword Intent, and this can be used to attack or defend against their foes."
"When you attacked Sayaka, I used my Sword-intent to manifest as a wall protecting her from any danger....." explained Artoria.
"Indeed ,intent are known to everyone, after sufficient life-death experience one is able to form killing intent like trained soldiers from military."
"But Sword intent is different as it does matter how much you fought ,killed and battled ,one wouldn't be able to form an intent as it purely depends of one's ability to comprehend. There are many levels of sword intent."
"Instructor Artoria of the Kendo club has not only been able to form a sword intent at such a young age but also has reached an impressive level of intent." concluded Ichizu.
"Even though intents are strong, they shouldn't be able to block magic attacks after all they are conceptual things." retorted Kirihara.
Ichizu just smiled and said "Okay then...why don't you use your strongest spell while Instructor Artoria would just use her sword intent to block your attack."
"This....." Kirihara hesitated.
"Don't worry First high teachers are all top magicians even if it is a handicap, you don't posses the ability to hurt them." stated Ichizu as he urged the crowd to make some space.
Artoria nodded towards Kirihara before a horrifying Sword-intent burst out of her body , shredding the floor beneath her feet.
The Sword-intent circled her body and materialized around her in shape of a dome.
"T..this is Sword-intent...." Sayaka and others were shocked by the tremendous burst of pressure from Artoria's body.
Tatsuya thought 'Her Sword intent is higher than my Killing intent, just like her ,I too am able to materialize my Killing intent into physical entity but her level is much higher than mine.'
"Okay....here I come!!!" declared Kirihara as he took a deep breath, activated his Psion sequence and attacked the dome with his *Point burst*.
