One More Time: Rebirth

Chapter 73: Twins battle

Once we were done eating, we went to one of the open fields. This was a designated practice area for black clads. We could use these whole are in any way we want. "Before we start I want to know, what your ranks are."

Willa answered first "My current rank is like this Edge-senpai:

Sword:

Fire style: C class

Water style: E class

Wind style: C class

Void style: E class

Overall sword rank: D class

Magic:

Fire: C class

That was quite surprising that's a pretty low rank for a red-clad. 

The next to speak was Terumi. "Edge-rank my rank is like this:

Sword:

Fire style: E class

Water style: C class

Wind style: E class

Void style: C class

Overall sword rank: D class

Magic:

Earth: C class

An extreme opposite of her sister but still their ranks are pretty low for being red clads. The two of them are pretty weak based solely on the ranking. But like Setsuna, there might be something else at play here. 

'Now that I think about it, where's Setsuna I haven't seen him since my return. Seeing as Eva became a black-clad, maybe Setsuna is as well, and he's out in a mission. I guess I'll ask Eva later.'

"Umm I think it's rude of me to ask, but why are your ranks so low? If it's this low I doubt you two could become red clads."

The one to answer my question was the more outspoken elder sister. It seems she really likes talking to me, cause every time we talk she would always have a smile on her face.

"About that Edge-senpai, actually swords aren't really our specialty. It's these things that we specialized at." The two brought out their weapons. Willa had a spear twice her size and Terumi held a towering shield.

"I see... The ranking system really is flawed... Well whatever, I can't really gauge your abilities if you don't show me the way you fight with your specialties. So how about a little spar." The twins looked at me surprised.

"Umm senpai if that's what you want... But if I may suggest something, can Terumi and I fight together? Only together can we fight with our true strength."

"Sure, the main purpose of this spar was to gauge your true strength. So if fighting both of you at the same time will show me your strength. Then that's what will do."

"Thank you, Edge-senpai!" The twins answered in sync. They were smiling at me truly pleased at what I said.

Clarise-senpai was the judge of the match. The rules were if either side surrenders or losses consciousness, then that side will be considered the losers. There was no time limit. The three of us readied our weapons.

Willa the one with the spear was in front while Terumi the one with the shield stood behind his sister. With everyone ready, Clarise signaled for the match to start.

Willa immediately threw her spear, it was fast but easily avoidable. Once I evaded Terumi was already by my side. He pushed me using his shield. I couldn't counter in time so I did a back step while trying to regain my center of gravity.

Willa Then cast a fireball my way. I easily evaded and was about to counter but was blocked by Terumi. Willa came from above her spear about to hit me. I redirected her strike so that it hits Terumi's shield. Their posture was now unbalanced. I used [crescent moon] on Willa, but was blocked by an [earth wall]. I then used [wind slice] alongside my continuous fireball skill.

The [wind slice] was aimed at Willa while my continuous fireball skill was aimed at Terumi. With Terumi having no time to defend Willa. Willa was forced to make an awkward evasion. This was my chance, [moonlit dance] I passed by Willa and afterward, she fell unconscious. Her weapon shattered. Terumi having lost his sister easily admitted defeat.

The match ended with my victory but the twins smile were as bright as ever. "You're really strong Edge-senpai! No wonder you were called the Reaper." Willa was showering me with praise. Wait that was a new nickname... These people keep on thinking about giving me nicknames, don't they have anything better to do?

"Well, you guys were strong yourselves. Now that I have a firm grasp on your strength and weaknesses I can think of ways to train you. Sarah you get ready as well, the true training starts now." The three red clads answered in unison. "YES!"
