âDonât rush in. Got it, Randy?â
With the Bardiche-Leo in his hands, Lester MacPhail called to Randy Hooke behind him.
âI know, Lester. Weâre going to stall them as much as possible. Right?â
âRight. Just keep âem at bay. Iâll take care of the rest.â
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.
âHey thereâLester, was it?â Irene Urzaiz casually addressed him.
Although the match had already started, she hadnât even bothered to take a fighting stance. Her huge scythe, the Gravisheath, still rested on her shoulder.
âWhat do you want?â Lester cautiously kept his distance.
If there was one thing he had learned in the recent pastâspecifically, from his bitter defeatsâit was that discretion might be the better part of valor.
âYouâre a friend of the Murakumoâs, right? Thereâs some luck. You wanna tell me about him?â
âHuh?â Lester scowled at the unexpected question.
âItâs not like Iâm super-interested but, you know, since weâre here.â
âIâve got no idea why youâd wanna know, but lemme clear up a couple things. First, I only happen to go to the same school as him. Iâm not his friend,â Lester said, disgusted, then repositioned the Bardiche-Leo and pointed it toward Irene. âAnd second, I came here for a fight, not some stupid chitchat.â
âHeh⦠Yeah, okay. Sorry.â Irene shrugged, then spun the Gravisheath around and slammed its butt against the ground. âWell then, if you thatâs what you want, letâs get started.â
Irene bared her teeth in a grin, and the Gravisheath roared like a wild beast.
âRandy, run!â 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.
Ireneâs Gravisheath was a powerful Orga Lux with the ability to control gravity. However, that didnât 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 Gravisheathâs 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 Gravisheathâs biggest weakness was how much energy it took to wield. Orga Luxes were generally known to have some side effectsâa âcostââand 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, weâve got the advantage!
Lesterâs usual style was to strike first and strike hard, but that wouldnât 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 Ireneâs 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.
