"You know, you didn't rank second for nothing. Good decision. Running would have just prolonged the inevitable."
Nodding my head, I simply raised my sword ahead of me, recalling the rules of a duel.
Usually, there would be tons of restrictions, but since we were first-years who didn't even know how to use mana blades or sword slashes, there were none.
Not skipping a beat, Aizo charged at me, his broadsword falling behind him, easily closing the distance between us with two steps.
As countless holographic lines appeared from the tip of his sword, ending all over my two shoulders, I ducked.
Instantly, his sword horizontally swept across the air, narrowly flying above my head.
Without a second of doubt, I plunged my sword vertically into the air above me, its curved edge immediatly halting Aizo's sword from moving further horizontally.
*CLANG*
As the two swords made contact, I immediatly retrieved my sword and side-stepped to the right.
