“Kinda scary how easily you played him,” Dier said.

“Yes, well. He’s a simple man.”

We were heading towards the place where we would have our match. Alexei was leading while Dier and I kept pace a bit behind him, whispering to each other.

“You’ll be fine, won’t you?”

“Afraid I’ll lose?”

“I know your strength. It’s his confidence I’m afraid of.”

“Oh? It’s a relief to me, personally.”

Alexei wouldn’t have accepted my challenge if he weren’t so confident, so I was grateful he had the personality that he did.

“Shall we begin?”

Alexei had shown us to an area in his garden. It was paved with stone, with no obstructions and—since we were outside—no ceiling. The moon shined directly onto us.

“Sure you want to fight here? There’s no water.”

“I don’t mind. There aren’t many places where you can fight with Shadow, correct? So it’s only fair.”

“I see. Well, if you agree with this location, then we may begin.”

“All right. The first move is yours. Come at me with all you’ve got!” He welcomed my attack with both arms spread wide. The gesture irritated me; it seemed patronizing.

In that case, there was no need to hold back. In order to absorb his power, I had to weaken my opponent as much as possible—I needed to put Alexei in so much pain that he could no longer stand.

“Shadow. Penetrate.”

The shadow at my feet swirled and lifted up around me like a tornado. Under my control the shadow morphed itself into a wave of knifelike points that all hurled themselves towards Alexei at once. Though I went after him seriously, I wasn’t trying to kill him.

When I looked over at Dier, he made a face that seemed to say, “Don’t you think that’s overkill?”

To be honest, I also thought I might be overdoing it in my attack—maybe it was because Alexei had irritated me too much.

Yet my worry was unfounded; Alexei blocked my shadow with a jet of high-pressured water. Not quite a jet—more of an entire wall, really. It flowed all around him, repelling my attacks.

“Good, good! That was pretty strong! You’re the best, you know that? I love women like you.”

“I see. That’s nice.”

Alexei had a cocky smile on his face. It seemed that I was the one underestimating him, and not the other way around.

The guardian of water—the supernatural power he’d inherited was quite simple. The power—

“Waterdance!”

—allowed him to freely create and control water. Steam curled around him, and in the blink of an eye, a wave of water rose into the air. It was a current, as turbulent as a raging river, and changed directions with a flick of his hand. A column of water spouted from his feet and shot straight towards me.

“Shadow.” Right after the shadow expanded, I created another that beat back the flowing water. Water splashed against it, some of the spray still landing on me. “Chilly.”

“Now that I’ve gotten you wet and cold, shall I warm you up? We can take a hot bath together if you’d like.”

“Absolutely not!” I went on the offensive.
