Sakuya was watching the situation carefully, from the moment Ragna had landed the first blow until this point, she could see how Blake kept spinning Ragna in the air until he released him. Ragna's body had been blown away at quite an impressive speed as the sound of the wind made a noise as if it were being cut, some bushes that were in his way made his figure get lost in the area of the forest that was thrown and if it weren't for a tree that stood proudly upright, perhaps it would have kept flying longer.
"Crack!" That was the sound when Ragna collided with a said tree, everything had happened very fast for him and he couldn't stop a growl of pain from coming out of his mouth just at that moment, now he had his gaze fixed on Blake, Ragna felt as if a huge monster had just charged at him, first from the headbutt that Blake gave him and now from the force with which he had sent him flying.
Sakuya had come closer to see Ragna's condition, but seeing him take something out of the bag on his back, she realized that he hadn't finished yet, but at the same time, a question popped into her mind.
'Is this really a normal match?'
…
Again with the masters of both boys, they were able to see carefully the result of Blake's movements and it was true that now they were quite surprised.
"That... That's quite a unique fighting style." Mei could see the state in which Ragna ended up, it was true that Blake's rather peculiar way of attacking would take many by surprise, but what had caught her attention was something else. "What kind of technique did he use before? he escaped my perception completely, if I hadn't concentrated on the sounds of his footsteps, it would have been impossible for me to detect him."
"I... I don't know, master." Shino was in the same position as her, maybe she was Blake's master, but she was also unaware of all his techniques and secrets, she was also surprised when he seemed to disappear, and if it wasn't because her master mentioned the way to detect his presence, Shino would have believed that Blake had become completely invisible in every way. "I told you that Blake would surprise us in different ways."
"Why do I feel like you hide more things than you should?"
"Ufufu, well... Blake's situation is something special... But this is not the time to get into it, we'd better enjoy the rest of the show, this means it's a point for Blake, right?" Shino didn't want to go into details, everything would be easier to explain later, so it was best to distract her master for a bit.
…
Blake was now standing in the middle of the empty field waiting for Sakuya to come back to find out about Ragna's status, but to his surprise, the first to come out was precisely him.
"Your physical strength is quite amazing, brother Blake. Earlier I told you to draw your weapon, but it seems I should have done the same too." Ragna's figure was covered in some leaves while some dirt stained his clothes, but that went completely unnoticed as the excited expression on his face was enough for nothing else to matter.
Blake wanted to say something in response, but his mind went completely blank the moment he saw what was in both of Ragna's hands.
'Those… Those are those leeks?' Yes, that was what Ragna was holding with all his might, it was a pair of leeks in each of his hands, both were as long as a short sword and actually looked quite firm enough to believe that it was truly a vegetable, but above all, a light green aura covered Ragna for a moment before disappearing.
Ragna believed that Blake hadn't said anything since he was concentrating on the battle, so he didn't waste much time when he started moving in his direction with a similar speed as before.
Blake had already gotten a bit used to his speed, and when Ragna came close again, he put his arms in front of him as a way of protecting himself from the blow of the leeks, Blake still didn't understand what Ragna was trying to do, but if he had known, he would know that his action was a big mistake.
"Arghhh!" Blake took several steps back after that impact, he had felt a horrible pain in his arms and, the moment he saw the cuts and the blood coming out of them, he realized the reality. That pair of leeks weren't what they seemed as it was now being covered in a deep pink glow; Blake felt as if a pair of swords had just cut him, plus he was sure Ragna had been holding back, or maybe he had lost both arms at that moment.
The only thought that had crossed his mind was to use the cure spell, he normally used his hands to channel any spell, but having his arms in that state, he knew this was not the time to try.
But to his good luck, the spell worked once he concentrated on the areas he wanted to heal while feeling a considerable amount of his runic energy being absorbed at the same time, but he didn't even have a chance to breathe as he again saw to Ragna coming towards him, and this time he had to get really serious.
…
"So he finally decided to make his move, he's still just as impatient." Mei watched Ragna's actions carefully, she wasn't surprised that Blake made that mistake, although she still had to praise the boy's resistance.
"That's quite a peculiar runic ability, so his affinity must be a life element, or am I wrong?" Shino had also just seen the state Blake ended up in from Ragna's move and had been a bit surprised by that, earlier she had wondered why Ragna had taken out a couple of vegetables in a fight, but now it was pretty clear that that was his weapon.
