“Why don’t I clean this place up so we can do that, then?”

As he spoke, he swung his arm out. He was holding his sword, its tip pointed at the empty space in front of him.

What they next heard, though, was a high-pitched clang. The air wavered, as did the sound, and Soma sensed alarm from the empty space.

But Soma wasn’t alarmed. Instead, he sighed with annoyance.

“Why are you surprised? Did you honestly think I hadn’t noticed you, given how obvious your presence is?”

The other person still wasn’t visible, but Soma sensed strong determination from them, as if they’d resolved to take a stand now that it had come to this.

But Soma simply sighed again. “I hate to cut this short now that you’re so determined...but what makes you think there’s anything you can do now?”

“Wha...?!”

With that shocked exclamation, a figure appeared in front of Soma, but by then, it was already over. The black-robed body had a diagonal slash through it. Seeming not to comprehend what had just happened, they collapsed to the ground.

But Soma looked up rather than watch their demise. There were several figures on the roof, all of them dressed in black like the person at his feet. He had no need to ask who they were or what they were doing—not that they would have answered him if he had.

“What to do...”

He already knew that the person he’d fought was hostile. If he hadn’t intercepted when he had, he would have had his head chopped off. No friends of someone like that could be friends of Soma’s...and what was more, he recognized the figures.

“They do not look very amiable,” Hildegard commented. “Do you know them?”

“I wouldn’t say I know them; I don’t know what their faces look like, after all. I have met them once before, though. You must have heard about Sylvia being attacked on the day of the entrance ceremony—these are the perpetrators.”

“I did hear such a story...I grasp the situation now.”

The situation was that they’d just been sneak attacked, but Soma wasn’t surprised or panicked, because he’d predicted it. He’d already known that he was being watched, and by whom. Between that and the familiar presences, how could he not have expected this?

If there was any problem, it was that...

“They do not appear willing to take you on,” Hildegard observed. “I can understand why, however, given the prowess you displayed just now... Perhaps you should have restrained yourself.”

“No, the results would have been the same either way. They aren’t after me in particular.”

“That is a good point... I can understand their unwillingness to go up against you if they are already familiar with your skill.”

“The one who attacked me was trying his hardest, but I imagine he also knew he would need luck on his side to accomplish anything. I believe their main goal was to buy time.”

And Soma didn’t need to wonder what they intended to do with that time.
