Chapter 46 - We Must Not Let Him Go!
Two days passed quickly.
In addition to learning magic with Akeno, Mahiro occasionally engaged in duels with Koneko and Yuuto.
He gained a lot in the past two days.
He also mastered a lot of basic magic and improved his combat skills.
"Mahiro-kun's growth is really terrifying."
Watching Mahiro, Koneko, and Yuuto train together, Akeno couldn't help but speak.
"I won't be surprised by anything he does."
Rias had an expression that seemed indifferent.
In fact, Mahiro had caused her too many "surprises".
Though Rias appeared calm on the surface, she was still a little shocked in her heart.
When they first arrived on Friday, Koneko and Yuuto could suppress Mahiro together.
However, after two days, they could no longer suppress him and were at a disadvantage.
Of course, this was without using magic or Sacred Gear.
"Rias, we must not let Mahiro-kun go."
Akeno smiled and said half-jokingly.
"I know."
Rias had a determined look on her face.
After talking with Mahiro that day, she returned to being the confident Rias.
In the center of the training ground, the battle of the three was coming to an end.
Koneko and Yuuto, one on the left and one on the right, launched a combined attack on Mahiro, who remained calm in the face of danger.
He was able to handle their combined attack.
"Boom--!"
Mahiro picked up the wooden sword that was thrust at him, leaned back, dodged Koneko's punch, and escaped from their encirclement.
Then, he slid forward sharply and, under Yuuto's surprised gaze, placed the wooden sword on his neck.
"One down."
Mahiro withdrew the wooden sword with a smile and turned to look at Koneko.
Yuuto helplessly conceded defeat and stepped aside.
"I don't know when we will be able to decide the outcome, so let's fight barehanded."
Mahiro suggested.
"Alright."
Koneko nodded, agreeing with Mahiro's proposal.
Koneko clenched her fists, stomped her feet with force, and then threw a punch at Mahiro.
"Simple~"
Mahiro couldn't help but chuckle.
He abandoned the wooden sword and punched forward, but he suddenly moved to the side just before the collision, avoiding Koneko's punch.
Then, he gently pulled Koneko's extended arm forward.
Koneko's straightforward personality made her think Mahiro would engage her directly, so she didn't hold back.
Under Mahiro's trick, Koneko's body suddenly became unstable, and she fell forward, almost landing indecently.
"You cheater!"
After regaining her balance, Koneko turned around and stared at Mahiro expressionlessly.
"All's fair in war."
Mahiro said with a smile.
"I want to fight again."
Koneko said that, with a lot of dissatisfaction on her face, she appeared richer in emotions than before.
"Sorry, I don't want to fight again.."
Mahiro shook his head and disagreed.
As a Nekoshou and a Rook, Koneko's physique was similar as Mahiro's.
So, Even after various improvements.
Mahiro didn't want to confront Koneko head-on.
Hearing this, Koneko was visibly unhappy. Her golden eyes stared at Mahiro, making him feel a little embarrassed.
"Mahiro-san, I have a request."
When the fight was over, Yuuto stepped forward.
Looking at Yuuto's eyes brightening with Battle intent, Mahiro probably guessed what he wanted to say.
"You want to fight for real?"
"Yes."
Yuuto was surprised.
He didn't expect Mahiro to guess his intentions.
"Alright."
Mahiro nodded. He also had the same thought,
"I just learned a new sword move, let me fight you with that..."
Mahiro wanted to test the power of the Secret Technique - Raikiri but had spent most of his energy on learning basic magic in the past two days.
At this moment, the training camp was about to end, and since Yuuto requested, it was an excellent time to test his abilities.
"Yuuto-senpai, You must avenge me."
Koneko cheered on Yuuto.
Mahiro's trick just now made her unhappy, and she was eager to see him face setbacks.
"I'll do my best."
Yuuto smiled, a flash of light suddenly appearing in his hand as a very ornate knight's sword materialized.
This was the Demonic sword created by his Sacred Gear, "Sword Birth."
It looked more like a decorative sword, but its power was formidable.
'I wonder if this ordinary sword can block Yuuto's Demonic Sword.'
Mahiro thought while taking out a sword from the weapon rack.
The difference between the weapons was significant.
"Looks like it's going to be a good fight."
Akeno and Rias watched expectantly.
"Be careful, Mahiro-san!!"
Yuuto suddenly drew his sword; this time, he looked more serious.
"Interesting."
Mahiro clearly felt the difference between Yuuto using a wooden sword and a Demonic Sword.
'Is this Yuuto's true strength!'
Mahiro closed his eyes for a moment.
"But....."
A smile appeared on Mahiro's face as he held the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt in his right, ready to draw the sword.
Yuuto leaped from his spot, and the Demonic Sword in his hand sliced through the air, attacking Mahiro fiercely.
The next moment.
Mahiro's body was surrounded by lightning, especially around the weapon he held in both hands.
"Raikiri!"
Mahiro whispered, and in the thundering light, the blade was unsheathed.
So fast!
Everyone had this thought.
Yuuto's pupils shrank, and he instinctively raised his sword to block the attack, but it was too late.
Crack..!
In everyone's eyes, the sword in Mahiro's hand shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
Likewise, the Demonic sword in Yuuto's hand was also broken.
"Looks like I lost."
Mahiro stopped and spread out his hands helplessly.
Who knew that Raikiri's power would be too much for the weapon to handle.
