"A sword fight, eh. Let's see," Kana said and charged with her invisible wind sword. Their swords met and unlike before, Saeko's sword didn't break into pieces. It stood strong.
"Using magic eh. Nice, nice." Kana said and added more pressure to her wind and Saeko followed suit and added more magic and it continued for a while.
Seeing the futility of the situation, Kana decided to use her wind and charged wind in one hand while still, Saeko put effort into holding her sword.
"Wind Style: Raging Storm," said Kana, releasing a wind storm at close range towards Saeko. Saeko used her crystals and made a barrier around herself that the wind wasn't able to penetrate.
"Hana Sakura (Glimmering Petals),"
"Hana no Mae (Flower Dance),"
"Hana Arashi (Flower Storm),"
"Hana Senpuu (Flower Whirlwind),"
"Kami-Kaze (Flower Beauty Wind)," Kana tried all of them to make the barrier shatter and attack head-on. But as the deadlock continued, Kana got weaker and weaker as magic is not her strength.
So deciding to bulldoze her way through it, she pulled her fist back and punched Saeko's barrier, which made the barrier shatter into pieces.
With the same hand, she tried to punch Saeko, which the Knight had successfully dodged and an ethereal glow engulfed her.
With Naruto
"They improved," Naruto said, observing their spar.
"Yes. Saeko is wasting no second as she wants to fulfil her promise and her sword and magic only help. While Kana is Kana and she won't back down to anything." Reni said and Naruto nodded.
Alice slowly inched closer to them and sat in Naruto's lap smoothly. "Hehe. I got the best spot." She said with a victorious smirk.
Roygun is going over food and started preparing for lunch as they complete lunch. Though she watched the spar till now.
Sparring Arena
"Pull out your sword already. I want to see how it cuts." Kana said with a smirk, slashing Saeko's skirt a bit with her wind.
"If you wish to face it, why not?" Saeko said and extended her hand.
"Come to me, Enma," she called and a tear opened up in the space where she extended her swords.
Saeko's sword Enma. Enma is a moderately curved Shobu Zukuri-style katana with a lilac and gold colour scheme. The tsuba is trefoil-shaped, and each lobe is holed in the middle and thickly ridged. The tsuka is lacquered solid lilac (rather than cloth-wrapped), as is the saya.
Both are embellished with simple, golden, five-petaled flower motifs on each side. Enma also possesses an irregular flame-shaped hamon and black no-hi.
It's a beautiful sword Miya so graciously gifted Saeko upon her acceptance into the peerage.
Enma is one and only salvaged sword from Miya's island facility which Miya knew off. The sword is very special, Miya knew that as it survived everything without a scratch.
When Miya tried to use it, she felt no connection with the sword and decided to not use it. But when she gave it to Saeko to test, the purple-haired girl got a reaction out of the sword.
So Miya decided to give it to the younger Knight when she was accepted and Saeko was practising with it since then.
Kana felt the difference in battle immediately as Enma entered the fight. She can rarely strike the young knight which she could keep up with before.
The sword strikes are more precise and damaging than before and Kana decided it is time for her to reveal her speciality as well.
'Blessing of the wind, blow away the dark clouds that befall me and my King!'
"Fujin Megumi (Wind God's Blessing)," Kana, golden wind shone brightly around her and went towards the incoming Knight. Saeko was pushed back by the raw force of the wind.
"Damn, that's hard." She grumbled and sent her magic through Enma.
"Ok, now we tear this apart." She said as if she was talking to a friend and released a large slash toward Kana.
"Megumi: Protection," Kana called, making a golden wind barrier around herself. Though the slash was strong, it couldn't penetrate the Wind Gods barrier and so dissolved.
"My magic got eaten away?" Saeko asked in confusion. She observed how fast the magic put in the attack was over and knew something was wrong.
"Yep. When I was trying to improve what the blessing does, it came to my mind and tried to eat through the air of an area and I was successful.
So I tried it with magic and it works like a charm, pun intended. I can eat through magic with my Fujin Megumi." Kana said smugly.
Saeko started sending large amounts of her magic to Enma and an ethereal purple aura started to surround the sword and everyone got excited at that.
It soon took the form of a phantom dragon and roared at Kana as if daring her to attack. "Challenging me to attack?" Kana smirked and her wind covered and formed a big hand.
"Come," Kana called and Saeko slashed Enma and the phantom dragon shot forward at tremendous speeds toward the Rook.
"Fujin: Hantei (Wind God's Judgement)," Kana said and as the dragon reached Kana, the golden wind hand pushed the Dragon to the ground and as before, sucked all magic from it.
"I give up," Saeko said as she was about to fall unconscious, Naruto caught her with a smile.
"I didn't expect this much improvement from you, my dear. Now rest." He said and Saeko closed her eyes with a happy smile.
2 Weeks Later
"Ok class. I have an announcement to make. We are going to Kyoto for a school trip. So be prepared for it." Rossweisse said with a cheerful smile.
'Kyoto?'
'Fox Priestess,' Naruto and Kurama realised.
And Cut.
