Lunette falls to her knee and is completely exhausted by using her magic nonstop. Gyrus doesn't give her any time to recover herself and quickly swings his sword from above at Lunette's head. I quickly run towards them and kick Gyrus' sword to change its direction before it hits Lunette. He was surprised by my sudden presence, but he composed himself and prepared to strike me with his sword. I block his sword, but then he punches me using his other hand that is covered by his barrier. At that time, I spin my body to dodge the attack and pull out Liric, a sky blue gun, from the back of my waist with my left hand. After I dodged his punch, I composed myself and aimed at him from my back before firing my gun at him.
"Etheria Style Shooting Technique: Aurora Shot," I say as I pull the trigger and shoot a quick magic bullet at him using my gun.
He seemed surprised by my sudden attack and unable to dodge it or block it with his sword. My attack hits him in his stomach and knocks him back, giving us some distance. Of course he will be surprised, no one knows if I'm hiding the other weapon. Though, I wasn't good enough to use a gun for now so I don't know how much it works.
Gyrus shoots me with a surprised look and speaks with a confused tone, "A gun? I thought you're a close combat fighter."
I spoke to him with a serious tone and serious look, "To be honest, my big sister taught me to be able to use every weapon, even though I'm not really good at this one. Just yet."
Gyrus seems surprised even more and starts muttering to himself with a confused look, "No, it can't be happening. I'm the strongest student in this city, no one can beat me. And why can an unnamed person like you can hit me?! Why are you both always bothering me?!"
Huh? Are we bothering him? That's ridiculous, he's the one who is messing with us. I can't help but be angry at his behavior, I don't think I will give him mercy anymore. I think this is the time to end all of this.
Lunette who's laying on the ground speaks up to me, "Luna, I never thought you would use a gun. I guess our little Luna is now stronger, huh?"
I speak to her again with a slight smirk, "Shut up, I don't want to hear that from you. I'm not sure about using my gun at first."
She chuckles a bit and answers me again, "Right. I can't have my twin little sister surpass me, right?"
I shoot Gyrus with a cold glare and vice versa. I aimed my gun at him while still holding my sword in my other hand. He's aiming his sword at me again while creating a barrier to cover half of his body. Seems like he's now really serious as well as me. Maybe this battle will be the big one in Phantasia, even though I doubt it by myself. It's rare for students to use a gun. They need a lot of mana, after all. No wonder he was surprised when he saw one.
I spoke to him with a serious tone, "Round two. I won't hold back anymore."
He growls a bit and shouts at me again, "HOW DID YOU GET THAT GUN?!"
I spoke to him again while keep aiming at him, "My parents gave me this when I was a kid. What do you want to do with my Liric?"
I can tell that he's not happy with my weapon. I don't know why, but he seems displeased with my gun. It's not like I want him to like me too. In fact, I really hate him. I don't think showing my gun is a good idea, he seems angrier after I pulled out my gun.
Gyrus grits his teeth again and speaks to me, "Enough of this, I'll beat you now!!"
He dashes towards me with his full speed as he wields his sword against me. I take a big step back before firing my gun again. I tried to keep my distance against him with Liric, my gun. He keeps running towards me, blocking all the attacks with his barrier and after he is a few steps in front of me, he spins his body and swings his sword at me. I quickly use my sword to change the attack direction of his. I can't completely block his attack, but at least it won't hit my body. After I changed the direction of his attack, I quickly shot my gun again at him.
"Etheria Style Shooting Technique: Aurora Shot," I said as I shot him.
I shot him with a quick shot with my bullet that was made from mana. It's a bullet from my mana, so it contains my ice magic. Gun is a mid ranged weapon that uses mana as its bullet. The bullet contains the user's magic and has the user's magic effect. In this case, my bullet can freeze my enemy just like my magic itself. My bullet reached his stomach and froze a bit of his body. Bullets are faster than magic since we don't need to cast magic. He grunts a bit, but he continues to attack me with his sword. Really, he looks like a wild animal right now.
I shot my gun at his stomach from my back with my left hand. It's just a quick, single shot, but pretty hard. Aurora Shot is one of techniques in Etheria Style Shooting Technique. The technique that lets out a single and quick bullet but is pretty hard. It was the most balanced technique between strength and speed. My bullet hits through his body and freezes a certain point on his body.
He resisted it, then swung his sword from above to hit me, but I avoided it by jumping aside. Unfortunately, after I avoided his attack, he used his feet to kick me and send me flying. BAM! In the middle air, I was able to shoot towards his stomach. Though, the range is too far so he used his magic to block it. He continues to run towards me to attack me again. I quickly stood up using my hand to run again as he ran chasing me. Great, now we're playing a tag.
He uses his magic to form a bullet from his barrier and shoots me with it. Really? He can do that now? His magic is completely cheating! I shoot all of his barriers using my bullets. All of our bullets are clashing and it keeps going for a while with perfect accuracy. In this case, his magic isn't a barrier anymore, but a creativity magic! He can almost use his barrier to form anything he wants!
After a while, Gyrus stops and charges towards me and lands a punch to the ground. I avoided it and swung my sword at his head, though it was blocked by his magic. The sand is blocking my vision, I can't see anything clearly! He spun his body and took a step forward before swinging his sword against me. I used my magic to create three walls made of ice to protect myself, though his attack is so powerful. He destroyed two of the three walls and almost broke the third wall. I quickly noticed as he's trying to pull out his sword.
"No, you can't!" I say as I make more ice to keep his sword stuck in the wall of ice.
It seemed difficult to take out his sword so he chose to leave his sword. He's now trying to do a close combat with me. I tried to land an attack at him using my sword, but he kicked my sword pretty hard and made me throw my sword. My sword is flying in the middle of the air, out of my reach. I can't make it end here.
"IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE?! DID YOUR TEACHER TOLD YOU TO RELEASE YOUR SWORD IN A FIGHT?!" He asks me with an angry tone after throwing my sword away from me.
Ugh… My sword is out of reach. He's going to punch me again with his left hand, and I'm in the middle of the air so I can't dodge it.
"YOU'RE DONE!!" He shouts at me while trying to land a punch at my body.
I'm done? IN YOUR DREAM!! I pull out Eirys, my other gun with dark blue color, pretty quick and fire him again with both of my guns. I can feel I am becoming more like Lunette a little. Maybe she influenced me a little bit since we've been together from the day we were born.
"Etheria Style Shooting Technique: Aurora Barrage," I said as I aimed both of my guns at him.
I let out a barrage of bullets to his body like a rain, leaving him no room to dodge. Though, he won't have time to use his magic to block my attacks. After all, guns are faster than magic in a middle ranged fight. The bullets are dazzling in the air and crushing his barrier slowly but surely. This technique is draining my magic pretty much, but it has a great opportunity to limit his movements and hit him in different places on his body.
"Another gun?!" He asked me while trying to avoid my attack, though there is no time for that.
I answered him in the middle of the air as I continued to shoot him with my guns, "Do you have any business with my Liric and Eirys?"
Half of his body is covered by ice as a result of my attack. I don't know how but he seemed able to block my attacks that lead to his chest. I think he's not eliminated yet, I can see the barrier that is protecting his badge on his chest.
I cough a bit because I'm overusing my magic. There is a slight dew that appeared from my mouth. I think I'm overheating right now. I need to calm down a bit. It will be good if he can't move for a while. Right after I said that, he tried to move his body and break free from the ice. Maybe that's too good to be true. Just let me rest for a while, you monster!
Gyrus speaks to me with a soft annoyed tone, "What's wrong with those guns? A sword and two guns, you're so unpredictable."
I spoke to him again with a cold tone, "Liric and Eirys, my twin guns that my father gave me when I was nine years old."
Gyrus spoke to me again with an annoyed tone, "HOW DARE YOU TO USE MY MOTHER'S GUNS?!"
I can't help but get mad at him, "What do you mean by that? These guns were my parents' presents long ago. Not only hurting my friends but my guns as well?"
What does he mean by his mother's guns? Was his mother the one who made it? Damnit, his sentences always stop in the middle so I can't gather the information clearly.
Lunette who's laying on the ground laughs, "I see…How greedy of you. And what after her guns? Her sword?"
Gyrus huffs and speaks, "Her sword? No, I don't want her sword, too weak even for an amateur."
Really? After all of this and now he's underestimating my sword? I really, really hate him so much now.
I aimed both of my guns at him again and said, "Final round. Let's end this now."
He nodded and answered me, "Agree, let's show who's the strongest."
He dashes towards me with his full speed and he's trying to blow some punches towards me. I jumped back and fired my gun at him, shooting some bullets at him. Though, he knows my trick now so he puts a barrier in front of him to block the bullets. He looks like an unstoppable wild animal that only charges forward. He lost his mind! I think I made a mistake!
He punches me on my stomach and sends me flying. After that, he jumps to chase me again in the air. I tried to move my body to dodge it, but in the end, I just barely dodge it. I almost got hit in my right waist, just a few millimetres left and I'm done. I took a comfortable position, at least able to aim my guns and shoot him. I turn my body upside down in the air and shoot him with my guns. Right after he blocks the first attack, I shoot the second attack to his face. Before he knocked back, he made his time to kick my left waist. We both got hit by each other and fell to the ground. I can't help but cough as his attack landed on me.
Oh my god, that's so painful even for me. My waist becomes blue and I can feel a bruise appear on my left waist. The color is so thick and I feel like I got hit by a heavy weapon like a war hammer.
