What’s this?

Oliver couldn’t believe his own eyes.

She’s moving differently... It’s like she’s a new person entirely...

It was as if she was using magic to accelerate her perception of time. Each attack and counterattack came too quickly to follow. The explosive noise of spells colliding assaulted the viewers’ eardrums.

Even an emerald-class magician like Oliver couldn’t keep up with the two duelists’ movements.

Two things occurred to him. Firstly, in all the time Gawain had thrashed rookies with his overwhelming strength, he had never appeared to reveal his true power until now. Secondly, this rookie was standing her ground in the face of Gawain’s true power, going toe to toe with him as if she were his equal.

“Who on earth is this person?” Oliver asked aloud, in spite of himself.

He was speaking to somebody that most would be afraid to address. One piercing look from the young man’s sapphire eyes could make a person see that they had made a huge mistake.

He was the future head of the Waldstein family, and truly their greatest son.

He was an utterly abnormal prodigy, having made it through the Sixty Seconds of Blood as a newcomer, before rising through the ranks to become an adamantite-class magician in just three years. Despite being Oliver’s junior in years, Luke Waldstein was his superior. He responded to Oliver’s question like it was nothing.

“She’s a real monster. When we were students, she was the only one I couldn’t overtake, right till the end. But since she’s a bit stupid and absent-minded, she was living in obscurity out in the middle of nowhere, and that’s where I found her. Anyway, if she’s going to be by my side, I need her to be that good.”

“That good”? What a thing to say so casua—

Oliver’s mouth went dry.

He still couldn’t quite accept what he was seeing, but there was one thing that he understood: at this moment, he was bearing witness to something incredible.

He watched intently, holding his breath along with everyone else in the gallery.

◇ ◇ ◇

Spell Boost accelerated time for the target. My duel with Gawain was going on under that expanded perception of time.

I was giving it everything just to keep up. I couldn’t lose focus for even the tiniest of moments. If I missed my shot by just one second, the equilibrium I’d carefully maintained would crumble in an instant, and I would be thrown to the floor of the training ground.

But as nervous as I was to be locked in battle with an opponent stronger than me, it was no worse than when I faced Luke in the old days.

I can’t even remember how many times Luke clobbered me with that obnoxious strength of his. It always annoyed me so much that whenever he beat me, I’d learn from it and make sure to beat him just as badly the next time.

That innumerable stream of one duel after another made me stronger. I wasn’t alone. Luke’s power helped me in this duel, but in the midst of it all, one thing was clear.
