“Don’t rush in. Got it, Randy?”

With the Bardiche-Leo in his hands, Lester MacPhail called to Randy Hooke behind him.

“I know, Lester. We’re going to stall them as much as possible. Right?”

“Right. Just keep ’em at bay. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Stalling for time was an atypical strategy for him, but he had little choice. Their opponent was ranked third at Le Wolfe. Much as he hated to admit it, she was far stronger.

“Hey there—Lester, was it?” Irene Urzaiz casually addressed him.

Although the match had already started, she hadn’t even bothered to take a fighting stance. Her huge scythe, the Gravisheath, still rested on her shoulder.

“What do you want?” Lester cautiously kept his distance.

If there was one thing he had learned in the recent past—specifically, from his bitter defeats—it was that discretion might be the better part of valor.

“You’re a friend of the Murakumo’s, right? There’s some luck. You wanna tell me about him?”

“Huh?” Lester scowled at the unexpected question.

“It’s not like I’m super-interested but, you know, since we’re here.”

“I’ve got no idea why you’d wanna know, but lemme clear up a couple things. First, I only happen to go to the same school as him. I’m not his friend,” Lester said, disgusted, then repositioned the Bardiche-Leo and pointed it toward Irene. “And second, I came here for a fight, not some stupid chitchat.”

“Heh… Yeah, okay. Sorry.” Irene shrugged, then spun the Gravisheath around and slammed its butt against the ground. “Well then, if you that’s what you want, let’s get started.”

Irene bared her teeth in a grin, and the Gravisheath roared like a wild beast.

“Randy, run!” Lester shouted, and began to run himself. But he did not charge in recklessly. He skirted around his opponent from the right, maintaining distance and waiting for an opening.

Irene’s Gravisheath was a powerful Orga Lux with the ability to control gravity. However, that didn’t mean there was no hope of defeating her.

First of all, that ability was widely known, which made it possible to form a strategy against it. The Gravisheath’s power could not target a specific object, but only an area. That meant its target could avoid its power by staying constantly on the move.

Second, the Gravisheath’s biggest weakness was how much energy it took to wield. Orga Luxes were generally known to have some side effects—a “cost”—and in the case of the Gravisheath, the cost was particularly vicious. This was why it had passed through the hands of so many students with only a few able to use it fully.

That means if I can drag this out, we’ve got the advantage!

Lester’s usual style was to strike first and strike hard, but that wouldn’t work here, and there was nothing to be done. After all, winning was the most important thing.

If there was one cause for concern, it was Irene’s partner, Priscilla. She was backed up against the corner of the stage, showing no sign of making a move. She followed Irene with anxious eyes, but nothing more.

There was almost no data
