Chapter 47 - We Are A Natural Match!
"Looks like I lost."
Mahiro spread his hands helplessly, indicating his acceptance of defeat.
Yuuto's Sacred Gear allowed him to create demonic swords effortlessly, so even if one was destroyed, he could recreate another at any time.
Engaging in close combat with a swordsman would be challenging without a weapon.
While Mahiro's physical skills were sufficient to fight Yuuto barehanded, it wasn't necessary.
"I would have been defeated in that last move if not for the weapon advantage."
Yuuto shook his head, disagreeing with Mahiro's words.
Yuuto knew that if Mahiro's weapon had been as strong as his demonic sword, the only broken weapon would be his own.
Mahiro's sword would have struck him directly.
Yuuto never imagined that an ordinary sword could exert such power in Mahiro's hands, directly destroying his demonic sword.
It seems that the opponent may have been underestimated.
After all, Yuuto had just summoned his demonic sword and had yet to use many techniques.
However, the sword skill Mahiro used just now, Raikiri, was incredibly powerful.
It crossed the gap between the weapons and shattered his demonic sword.
Besides Yuuto, who recalled the previous sword strike, someone else did the same.
"Lightning... is he?"
Akeno stared at Mahiro blankly.
"It ended like this."
Rias hoped to see Mahiro and Yuuto fight each other to show their true strength.
It was a pity that both of their weapons were destroyed after only one round, and the battle ended in a draw.
Duels between powerful swordsmen are often decided in a single blow.
It was a pity that it left the onlookers feeling unfulfilled.
"Skill is a crucial factor in determining the outcome. In a real battle, there wouldn't be a chance to complain about weapon fairness."
Mahiro explained frankly, not caring about winning or losing.
"Alright, alright, you two don't need to concede. Winning or losing doesn't matter, does it?"
Akeno walked over with a chuckle, then hugged Mahiro's left arm, looking coy and shy.
"Mahiro-kun, we are a good match. Do you want to make me your girlfriend officially?"
'Official girlfriend!?'
"Did something happen?"
The soft touch on his arm made Mahiro's mind waver for a moment before he quickly recovered, turning his gaze and looking at Akeno with a complex expression.
"Nothing....But shouldn't you."
Akeno looked at Mahiro angrily.
"Shouldn't you agree? Aren't you afraid that my fragile, girlish heart will be hurt?"
"Oh."
Mahiro looked indifferent and asked jokingly, "Do you even have a girlish heart?"
"You idiot."
Akeno was immediately furious at his words.
However, Mahiro felt a little odd.
Although Akeno often spoke coyly and enjoyed teasing him, she never engaged in intimate actions and avoided physical contact as much as possible.
After all, those in a relationship act intimately, but it should be different in their case.
First and foremost, they are pretending to be in a relationship.
So, Why did Akeno suddenly change her regular behavior and act this way?
"Mahiro-san, when you unleashed your sword just now, was it accompanied by lightning?"
Yuuto asked curiously.
He should have seen it right, even though it was only for a moment.
"I saw it too. It looked similar to Akeno-senpai's lightning."
Koneko also spoke, her golden eyes staring at Mahiro with interest.
"Don't tell me this is the new magic you learned in the past two days?"
Rias glanced at Mahiro speechlessly.
Lightning magic!
How could Mahiro, an ordinary human, grasp this magic?
However, since Mahiro had repeatedly challenged her understanding, she wasn't very shocked at this moment.
Her heart had long become numb to Mahiro's surprises, and she was already mentally prepared.
"Yes!"
Mahiro nodded calmly without arrogance, making it seem like it was just an ordinary thing.
"Yes....."
Rias lips twitched.
"Do you know how significant this is?"
She caressed her forehead, looking exhausted.
"Mahiro-kun and I can both use lightning magic. We are a perfect match!"
Akeno hugged Mahiro's arm tightly, shaking it coyly.
The delicate touch and intoxicating aroma surrounded Mahiro.
'She couldn't possibly like me!?'
Mahiro couldn't help but think it was impossible.
Still, he couldn't figure out why Akeno suddenly acted like this.
"Forget it. Even if I explain the reason, you probably won't care too much."
Rias waved her hand dismissively.
"Being able to use lightning magic must be due to your Magic Eye."
Rias naturally credit it to Mahiro's Magic Eye.
'Hereditary techniques.'
Whether in Devils or other supernatural beings, it is highly valued.
Like the Power of Destruction within her.
Mahiro could use lightning magic in a similar way to Akeno's.
If this spread, it would undoubtedly shock many people.
Even some terrorist organizations with ill intentions might try to capture Mahiro to see if they could create descendants with innate abilities.
'However, with your current strength, even if I wanted to defeat you, it would be difficult.'
This was why Rias didn't explain too much and was relieved.
In her view, Mahiro's strength was sufficient to protect himself.
Strength comparable to a High-Class Devil might not be much in the eyes of powerful beings.
Still, for most people, it was an impossible height.
Moreover, Mahiro was a fellow of the Occult Research Club and indirectly protected by the Gremory Clan.
Unless someone is brave, they won't dare come to Kuoh Academy to covet Mahiro's Magic Eye.
