――On the Second Floor Electra of the Pleiades Watchtower, in a room white as chalk, the Examination began.

The Examiner stood in the corner of the room, a man with red hair and the smile of a shark plastered on his face.

Introducing himself as naught but a Stick Swinger, the man’s aura overflowed with an unusual sword spirit.

The way he appeared was in itself complicated. Even Shaula herself, who was the supposed caretaker of the Watchtower, had fainted the moment she laid eyes on him. As such, he was obviously no one ordinary. Thus――

Julius: “I shall, from the first moment, fight at full power――!”

Stick Swinger: “――――”

Leaning forward, Julius spoke as he took a step forward.

The blade he softly threw towards the man, was the same Sword of Selection that had been stuck into the floor of Electra. The sword spun in the air, flying in an arc, before it stabbed the ground near the man’s feet.

So that the man may simply stretch out his hand to take it.

Stick Swinger: “Fuck’re ya doin’, ya prick. Throwin’ me a sword ‘n all, ya got a death wish?”

Julius: “Unfortunately, as a Knight, it is most shameful an act to swing a sword at one unarmed!”

Stick Swinger: “Kah! Makin’ me laugh―― Ain’t empty-handed, take a closer look, ya prick.”

The man roared with laughter, teeth bared, at the advancing Julius. And while laughing, he casually raised his foot in the air and gave a wild kick to the sword. The Sword of Selection gave a shrill wail as it flew off.

It screeched inches past Julius, who had lunged towards the man――

Julius: “――Tch! I hope you bear no regret for speaking those words!”

His thoughtfulness coldly cast aside, Julius’s face cheeks stiffened as he swung out his Knight’s sword.

The slender blade he raised in a straight line, as a hammer to strike at those insolent enough to disgrace the grounds of a duel.

It pierced forward, swift as lightning but――

Stick Swinger: “Don’t be shoutin’ all cutesy there, buffoon. Ya got a damn nice face. Wouldn’t’cha be troubled if ya get off on ol’ me cryin’?”

Julius: “Wha… Tch.”

With a thunderous boom, the tip stopped before reaching the man’s torso.

Of course, Julius had not slackened his hand. He always tried to the best of his abilities, regardless of the situation. Thus, it was not him that stopped the blade, but rather the man bearing the smile of a shark.

Julius: “Impossible!”

Stick Swinger: “Gotta believe what’cha see. It all starts from there, ya know.”

Cackling with joyous laughter, the Stick Swinger raised his right hand and scratched his chest. It was the same behavior as before. Just like the time he was piling up on a nonsense conversation.

However, his left hand pinched the tip of Julius’s sword, with frightening accuracy. That too, with――

Julius: “――A pair, of twigs?”

Stick Swinger: “Look ‘ere, it’s not even close. What, yer eyes bad or somethin’, ya prick. Chopsticks, they’re chopsticks. Pretty nice for grabbin’ snacks, them chopsticks. ‘Tis why I keep ‘em on me.”

So slender, one had to squint
