First, I figured I had to test the waters a little. I wasn’t underestimating him—it was the opposite. The idea of throwing all caution to the wind from the get-go and banking everything on a single make-or-break exchange was just too terrible to consider. At worst, I’d rather fight an endurance match. I hadn’t decided whether that was necessary yet, but the decision would make itself clear after my sword had crossed his spear a few times.

Anyway, first swings first. A few steps remained between me and Vaasa, and he was standing with his weapon at the ready. I broke into a dash to close the distance, going as fast as the wind. Figuratively, that is. I wasn’t actually that fast. Although, I thought I was moving a little quicker than I usually did in combat, but that was because I was using almost all of my mana to strengthen myself physically.

We’d been informed that magic didn’t really work on Vaasa, but just because I couldn’t use mana to attack him didn’t mean I couldn’t use it to enhance myself. It just meant there was all the more for me. I wasn’t using every last drop, though, because I had to save some in case I needed to throw up a shield spell. While using Division made it look as if I’d taken no damage, it definitely still added up, so the fewer attacks I actually took, the better.

“Mmm?!”

Vaasa looked surprised that I’d closed the distance instantly—fine, maybe not instantly, but that had been what I was going for. He hurriedly pulled his spear into a closer guard position and readied himself to slash it at me.

His reaction speed was impressive. I’d been kind of making light of him because of the silly act he’d put on before the fight, but I internally apologized and reevaluated my opinion of him.

Of course, I still had the initiative. I’d launched my offensive knowing full well he could react. Vaasa made a matter-of-fact, diagonal swing down at me from my left, giving me a feel of his personality. I intentionally moved into its path, intending to twist myself out of the way at the last moment...

Suddenly, I got a bad feeling. In the corner of my vision, I caught a glimpse of Vaasa’s mouth: he was smiling. That was when I realized I could sense something coming toward my left flank.

I had to think fast. I avoided the spear, and it continued down toward my right. It didn’t look like Vaasa was doing anything else, but I had a pretty good idea of why he’d let himself get baited into this situation. It was because of his special ability. I was proven right when I spared a brief glance to my left and saw a number of glinting, dagger-like blades flying at me. They’d started moving the heartbeat after I’d dodged the spear, and they were moving fast.

If Vaasa had intentionally been aiming for this opening where I couldn’t dodge because my own inertia was pulling me along, then he wasn’t as straightforward of a guy as I’d thought.
