Once the scales had tipped in Touka’s favor, it turned into a one-sided beatdown. Shizuku was forced to stay on the defensive, running around the ring to try to stay out of Touka’s reach. But Touka was faster, and because Shizuku was always reacting late to her approaches, she had to perform desperate, risky dodges that shaved away at her stamina. Before long, she was so exhausted she could barely stay on her feet.

“What’s going on here? At first, the two were evenly matched, but now, Lorelei is suddenly stuck on the defensive. What could have caused such a dramatic shift?!”

The announcer looked just as confused as Shizuku. From her outside viewpoint, she couldn’t see what was making it so hard for Shizuku to keep track of Touka, and thus she couldn’t understand why Shizuku was being pressed so hard. She could see what was clear to everyone watching the fight, however: who was winning.

“She should just surrender...”

“Guess it was too much to hope a first-year would beat our student council president.”

“I thought there was a chance at first, but yeah, this is just sad to watch.”

“What, you’re leaving already?”

“Yeah. This fight’s over. Our student council president’s just too strong.”

The spectators’ earlier excitement had vanished. They’d convinced themselves that no matter how hard a mere first-year tried, she wouldn’t be able to beat Hagun Academy’s strongest Blazer. As a result, they felt silly for ever having thought that Shizuku had a chance.

Stella, however, refused to accept this. She turned to Ikki and asked, “Ikki, what happened to Shizuku?”

“What do you mean?”

“You can tell just by looking, right? She’s suddenly reacting way slower to her opponent’s attacks.”

“Stella-chan’s right. From our perspective, the president is just moving normally, but it looks like Shizuku can’t see her until the last second,” Alisuin added.

Ikki could see that as well, of course. But he could see a bit deeper and was able to puzzle out the reason that was happening too.

“You’re right. Shizuku can’t see her.”

“Huh?”

“Shizuku can’t see the Thunderbolt while she’s moving. I experienced something like this myself once, so I can tell what’s happening here.” Before his first match, Ikki had met with the Demon Princess, Saikyou Nene. “Back then, Saikyou-sensei went from being half the room away to right in front of me without me realizing it. I’d kept my eyes on her the whole time, but she still managed to catch me by surprise. I suspect the Thunderbolt is using a similar kind of martial art footwork to achieve the same effect.”

“Aha ha. I should have known you’d figure it out, Kurogane,” a voice called out from a few rows above them. When Ikki looked up, he saw a short woman in a stylish kimono and a taller woman wearing a stiff suit walking down toward them.

“Yo. Long time no see.”

“Saikyou-sensei, Director, did you need something from us?” Alisuin asked.

“Nah, we just happened to spot you, so we thought we’d say hi,” Shinguuji Kurono replied. It seemed the two of them had just come to see how this battle between Rank B Blazers would play out.
