The air in Kaelthar's courtyard was still, save for the faint hum of power rolling off the girls after another day of training. The golden skies above seemed almost too calm, too serene, for the tension building between them.
It started with a simple comment from Rias, her crimson hair swaying in the breeze.
"Kaelthar… I think it's time we fight each other instead of always fighting you."
Akeno tilted her head, smirking. "Oh? Are you saying you're tired of losing?"
"I'm saying," Rias replied, eyes narrowing in challenge, "that we don't really know how strong we are compared to each other. If we keep using you as the yardstick, we'll never get an honest measure."
Koneko, sitting cross-legged and quietly munching on grilled fish, looked up. "She's right. You're… too much of a cheat code."
Kunou, happily chewing on dango, muffled through her snack, "Yeah, Onii-chan, you're overpowered."
Kaelthar chuckled. "So what do you suggest?"
"One-on-one matches," Rias said immediately. "No holding back. No interference."
Yasaka crossed her arms, tails swaying. "It could be good for them… and for me." Her golden eyes glinted. "I want to see how far the others have come."
Akeno smiled, a mix of elegance and mischief. "Then I suppose Rias and I should go first. Unless you're afraid you'll mess up that perfect hair of yours."
"Afraid?" Rias took a slow step forward, smirk matching hers. "You're the one who'll be picking herself out of a crater."
Kaelthar watched the exchange with mild amusement. "Fine. But not here."
Kunou tilted her head. "Why not here?"
"Because," Kaelthar said, lifting a hand, "when they go all out, we'll have no courtyard left. Or dimension, for that matter."
He snapped his fingers, and space itself split open before them—revealing an infinite expanse of barren wasteland. The ground was a cracked sea of dust and stone, with colossal towers of jagged rock jutting from the earth like teeth. The sky was a colorless void, heavy with the promise of destruction.
"This is a separate sub-dimension," Kaelthar explained. "No matter what you destroy here, nothing outside will be affected. So…" He gestured toward the open rift. "Go wild."
Rias and Akeno stepped through without hesitation. Yasaka, Koneko, and Kunou followed to watch from a safe ridge, while Kaelthar appeared at the center of the battlefield, acting as referee.
The two combatants positioned themselves one hundred meters apart. The air between them crackled—not with magic yet, but with sheer anticipation.
They didn't speak aloud. Instead, their voices touched each other's minds through the improved telepathy Kaelthar had taught them.
Rias: Ready to regret this?
Akeno: Ready to fry you, you mean.
Kaelthar's voice cut through their link. "Begin."
The ground beneath their feet shattered as they launched forward, each creating a sonic boom that sent shockwaves ripping through the wasteland. They met in the middle like colliding meteors—their clash sending out a dome of force that obliterated the ground in a forty-meter radius, leaving only a smoking crater.
Their fists blurred, each punch hitting with the force of a bullet train.
"You're faster than before," Rias admitted, ducking under a lightning-coated jab.
"I'm just warming up," Akeno replied, her eyes sparking with the same electricity racing over her skin. She pivoted, summoning a massive dragon of lightning from the stormless sky above. It roared as it dove for Rias.
But Rias's expression didn't waver. She raised her hand, and the air rippled crimson—pure destruction magic condensed in her palm. She hurled it into the lightning dragon's chest, tearing the creature apart in a violent explosion of light and sound.
From the ridge, Yasaka's eyes narrowed in approval. "Their growth is absurdly fast."
"But they still have flaws," Kaelthar said, arms crossed. "Their power control isn't perfect. They compensate with creativity… but sometimes creativity isn't enough."
Koneko's gaze stayed locked on the fight, her cat-like eyes glinting with resolve. Kunou, however, nearly dropped her snack in awe. "Woooahhh! Did you see that?!" she exclaimed, crumbs flying.
Back in the fight, Rias and Akeno were moving at hypersonic speed, their forms blurring and flickering as they exchanged blows. Dust clouds rose in towering plumes where their strikes landed.
Rias suddenly leapt back, her hands glowing with crimson death. Four swirling spheres of destruction appeared around her. With a flick of her fingers, they streaked toward Akeno like homing comets.
Akeno darted aside, each movement a flash of light as she used bursts of lightning to accelerate. She shot upward, then dove, unleashing a barrage of strikes from above. Bolts of electricity slammed into the ground, shattering the stone towers into rubble.
"You're making a mess," Rias called out, sidestepping another bolt.
"Don't act like you're not enjoying this," Akeno shot back with a smile.
Their battle raged across the wasteland—scorch marks and craters marking every exchange. The raw force of their clash placed them firmly at the peak of Ultimate-class power.
Still, Rias's firepower was beginning to overwhelm Akeno's speed. Every time Akeno closed the gap, Rias countered with a burst of destruction, forcing her to retreat. The ground itself betrayed Akeno when Rias touched it, the destruction magic unraveling the stone beneath her feet.
Thinking fast, Akeno used the shattered rock pillars as springboards, chaining her lightning bursts to circle behind Rias.
But Rias was ready. The moment Akeno appeared at her back, Rias pivoted, blasting her at point-blank range. Akeno's body smashed through a massive stone tower, collapsing it in a thunderous roar.
Akeno emerged from the rubble coughing, wiping a streak of blood from her lip. "Alright… guess I'll have to stop playing around."
Rias's eyes narrowed. "Bring it."
Electricity surged over Akeno's body, forming a living armor of light. Her movements became a blur so fast that even Kaelthar had to focus to track her. In the blink of an eye, she was in Rias's face, her fist slamming into her stomach with enough force to launch the redhead backward.
Before Rias could recover, the sky cracked open again—another lightning dragon descending with a roar. This time, it struck true, engulfing Rias in a seventy-meter-wide explosion that turned everything nearby into molten debris.
But Akeno wasn't finished. She appeared behind Rias mid-air and unleashed a blinding flurry—twenty strikes in a single second, each one a bone-rattling blow. Rias staggered under the assault, coughing, before slamming her hand into the ground to trigger a massive shockwave of destruction that bought her breathing room.
When the dust settled, Rias's expression had changed. "Alright… your turn to see my trump card."
Her aura flared violently, destruction magic erupting from her in a wave that passively disintegrated the stone around her. Her power now rivaled that of a Satan-class being, but Kaelthar noticed the strain in her stance—she couldn't hold it for long.
"She's got maybe two minutes before her body gives out," he murmured.
Rias knew it too. She attacked hard and fast, launching three destruction spheres before condensing her energy into a spear crackling with lethal potential. She hurled it—not at Akeno directly, but where she knew Akeno would dodge.
Akeno swerved aside, just as predicted—straight into the path of a hidden destruction sphere. The blast hit her dead-on, locking up her movement for a split second too long.
That was all Rias needed. She closed the distance and unleashed a final, all-or-nothing strike, point-blank.
When the dust cleared, both women were on their knees, panting heavily. Rias's form flickered, her aura collapsing as exhaustion consumed her.
Kaelthar appeared between them in an instant, hands on both their shoulders. "Enough. Rias wins—barely."
Akeno managed a weak smile. "Barely… is still a loss, huh?"
Rias, just as drained, smirked back. "A win's a win."
From the ridge, Yasaka clapped slowly. "Impressive. Both of you. But don't think I'm letting you off easy next time."
Koneko simply nodded, her gaze still locked on the battlefield. Kunou, however, was waving her dango like a flag. "That was awesome! Do it again!"
Kaelthar chuckled. "Rest first. You've earned it."
As he teleported them back to the courtyard, the wasteland dimension slowly repaired itself—ready for the next fight.
