Fists to rend the Sky

But chunnibyos almost rarely could deal with magical beasts with such finesse, so if anything, Shuji would humor what he just heard for now.

"Man, that god must have been pretty generous, or they couldn't just help but be enthralled by you." in all seriousness, some people were just gifted, in a way that it seemed like that had seduced Fate itself.

"I wouldn't mind something like that, nah, every mage desires something like that. Call the Root, the Void, The Origin, everyone wants to court some kinda of absolute power.

Emma wasn't a terrible cook, she just had a terrible memory. She would be fine with a cookbook in front of her, but ask her to have a recipe other than instant ramen memorized and the result may be disastrous.

But today, she had actually made something delicious for Crow to return to, and she was so excited to see his face light up when he realized she didn't mess something up. "Table's set, dinner plated... Maybe I should get out some wine...?" She's mumbling to herself, unaware the door to their apartment was opening.

But as he saw her there, and the scent of homemade food reached him, it was like he was getting assaulted by a sense of normalcy.

Looking at her, it almost made him wonder. What if they could just have a normal life, give up on all the fighting. He could get a job and come back home every day to a safe and sound Emma welcoming him like this.

It wasn't her first time against a creature like this. By, now, she's learned how to deal with them quickly, hence her asking the other to get out of her way.

"Alright. Make sure you watch closely then!" She looked back and him and smiled before charging the monster.

The young mage watched intently, he didn't know until today that this girl was capable of going up against a magical beast like that with such confidence, even if he was initially convinced he would have to step in and show off a little with his own magic.

"This is just normal water... wondered if it would pass by you." though with the way she looked, he wouldn't mind offering his water bottle to her, since she looked pretty tired and malnourished.

He tried parrying it with his arms, and that's when he realized.

Strong, this girl was really strong, even without any quirks or powers. Definitly stronger than him without his Aura.

Unlike Gebura his fighting style was elegant almost dance-like fitting for a man of his appearance and status. Harpe thankfully was just a custom-made scythe, not a horrific weapon born of an Abnormality like the likes of Mimicry. The only thing it has for it is the sharp blade and its ornate appearance

"Come now, do you think I'd be so easily swayed~!"

"Not really, but I always want to sound cool. Just bear with it."

If anything, maybe he was just trying to reassure himself as he threw himself, sword in hand, against the scythe wielder. He couldn't help but find that funny.

His moves were not completely amateurish, but anyone could that that Kendo was not his focus in life.

"Perfect~! This will be perfect!"

He shoulders Harpe as he looks at his opponent with that terrible smile upon his face

"That's a scary weapon you got there." he bluffed, the wooden sword he got just for this match tapping on his shoulder. Hopefully all that time growing up with sword users would help him today.

Here's the second match-up of the day.

Here is a Japanese youngster who is fascinated with magic. Unfortunately for him, his magic will be restricted here and it may give Nakata Shuji some trouble. But he's able to still punch his way to a victory with his knowledge of martial arts. He's up against the Blue Reverberation, Argalia! At first glance, he may be mistaken as a frail girl, but he's more of a certified lunatic, someone who is unpredictable and cold-hearted to his foes. Watch out for his weapon!

No matter, it was the current competitor Xenia that he was fighting right now, and so only the current parameters mattered right now.

But that didn't mean Joeru wasn't taking this seriously. Because victory was also fun!

Seeing no first move being taken, he stepped forward, measuring her out with his eyes. If he couldn't figure out her fighting style still, he needed to open her up.
