A Blazer's magic defense can significantly mitigate physical impacts.
Whether it's sharp weapons like swords or heavy weapons like axes, even if a high-speed train were to hit you, as long as your magic defense is strong enough, you can withstand it without any damage.
Judging from Stella's magic power, even if she were to fall straight from a cliff hundreds of meters high, she would easily and safely land on the ground relying on her magic defense.
By analogy, as long as there is sufficient and strong magic power, friction with the air can be blocked, thus ensuring no harm under supersonic movement.
"Pierce the blue sky, blaze of purgatory——!"
Stella finally acted seriously, raising the golden sword in her hand high, and a vast sea-like magic power erupted from her body, transforming into unmatched fire that wrapped around the sword's body.
*BOOM*
In an instant, a long beam of blazing light over a hundred meters long shot up into the sky, creating a large hole in the training ground's ceiling, releasing blinding light and intense heat throughout the area.
Its brightness was akin to the sun's, reaching high into the sky, shocking everyone who saw it.
She truly deserved to be a rare genius within ten years, and her total magic power was worthy of being the world's foremost. The hundred-meter-long sword light was already in front of them, leaving everyone present speechless.
It was not of the same dimension at all, far beyond what the current Knight Academy students could comprehend.
"—Katharterio Salamandra!"
Stella wielded the large light sword and swept through the entire battle circle.
The lightsaber was synonymous with destruction. Upon impact, it nearly destroyed the entire training ground, causing all the students caught in its path to scream.
"Hey, it's too intimidating to use tactics like this against someone, and let me reflect on how big of a problem it will cause for those who face its consequences!"
Kurono looked at the half-destroyed training ground, holding her forehead and sighing, continuing to mutter under her breath.
"Uhooo! Amazing! Is this really just a Student Knight? Enough with graduating and joining the League tournament!"
Seeing the messy scene, the cam girl didn't perceive it as dangerous at all; instead, she was excited and took pictures from every angle with her camera.
"She deserves to be the first A-Rank newcomer in Hagun Academy's history! With this, there surely won't be any tension about the outcome!"
That's right.
Just by looking at this sight, anyone would feel that the outcome was already decided.
Not because they underestimated Kurogane Ikki, but because his opponent had surpassed what Student Knight Academy could defeat. Even professional Knights competing in the professional league would feel overwhelmed and powerless facing such an opponent.
"He will fight."
But Hoshiharu spoke with great confidence, his tone seeming certain, as if Stella would be defeated right before his eyes.
Of course, so far there had been no change. Any time traveler would dare say this.
"—Ittou Shura!"
Facing the extraordinary pressure brought by the hundred-meter-high light sword, Ikki took a deep breath and played his ace with a serious expression.
His eyes widened, he shouted loudly, and his whole body emitted dark blue light from blue flames, his entire body's energy suddenly increasing several times over.
"Magic power light? How is this possible?"
Both Stella at the scene and the cam girl exclaimed in surprise.
The pale blue light emanating from Ikki was the light formed by magic power pouring out of his body.
But this was impossible. The light of magic power spilled onto the body's surface, indicating that the Blazer possessed a considerable magic power, proof that the total magic power was enormous.
Because magic power would overflow, it meant the magic power was sufficient to be squandered carelessly.
But F magic power, frankly, couldn't even form magic power light at all; it could only cause sparks after spreading outside the body, which almost reached the body's limit.
"And so fast!"
Stella swung her sword down, and even the battle circle was half destroyed in an instant.
But Ikki's entire body was wrapped in light, seeming to move as fast as lightning, easily dodging attacks at speeds that the naked eye couldn't catch, and swiftly closing in.
It was indeed very fast, so fast that Hoshiharu's dynamic vision couldn't capture it, forming a series of shadows in the battle circle.
"Ittou Shura, an extraordinary Noble Arts!"
He had no choice but to praise it.
"What's happening?"
The cam girl looked bewildered. Neither her eyes nor her camera could capture the battle situation on the field, leaving her completely unable to understand the battle situation.
Hoshiharu remained silent on this matter and had no intention of explaining it.
Ittou Shura was Kurogete Ikki's unique technique on which he poured all his effort into practicing, and it was also his biggest secret. Although he had known his secret, Hoshiharu had no intention of spreading it without his permission.
The hundred-meter-high light blade couldn't hit Ikki no matter what, and Stella couldn't even catch sight of him.
With a flash of the sword, the battle ended in an instant.
The magic power-wrapped attack struck Stella from the front, causing her to lose consciousness, her vision darkening, and she fell into a coma.
"Winner, Kurogane Ikki!"
Kurono made the decision in a timely manner.
Immediately after that, Ikki kneeled down. The blue light slowly disappeared. His grand posture from before vanished in an instant, and he could barely hold the sword in his hand.
"He really won..."
The cam girl sighed as if it had been a lifetime.
This duel was truly full of twists and turns, its process even more winding than yesterday, and the result was once again disappointing.
Although not as shocking as the new director's defeat yesterday, an F-Rank Knight's victory over an A-Rank Knight was explosive enough to be the theme of the school newspaper's second edition.
Thinking back to yesterday's events, the cam girl immediately remembered the handsome guy beside her, and her heart suddenly felt warm as she looked up.
"Eh? Where's the handsome guy? Where is he?"
❀❀❀
On the field.
Kurono directed the two students and asked them to take Ikki and Stella to the hospital. She pulled out a Device pistol and shot the training ground's ceiling.
Soon, the training ground, which was nearly half-destroyed, suddenly felt like it had returned to the past and returned to its original state, becoming neat and clean as it was before the battle began.
No, this was indeed actual time travel, and it was the power of Shinguji Kurono's Device.
"It's like losing your lifetime."
Some familiar voices came from the side. Kurono turned and saw Hoshiharu, who had embarrassed her yesterday.
"Oh? Can you understand the principles of Ittou Shura?"
Kurono took out a cigarette from pocket, lit it, put it in her mouth, and asked calmly.
"About the same."
Hoshiharu looked at Ikki lying on a stretcher in the distance with a tired expression on his face, a faint antagonistic feeling appearing in his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, his eyes were almost the same as Ikki's in the morning. Both were the kind of eyes that ignited the spirit of battle.
"Actively crushing survival instincts and increasing physical strength and magic power tens of times over is something random... I can only say that I hope he can enjoy his old age peacefully."
Hoshiharu clasped his hands together in a prayer gesture.
