After I pulled out my sword to engage in combat, silence formed between us.
'Guardian Onii-chan...'Iris thought.
"Claire-sama..." Rain muttered.
'Please be safe...'
'He is a Magic Swordmaster, a new advanced job. So, how would he fight?' Claire thought.
'If she is an escort and a teacher of Iris... Then this means she ain't an ordinary swordswoman.' I conceived.
'If that's the case...!'
Claire and I charged towards each other in sync.
Our swords clashed with a loud clanging sound, sparks flew.
Our swords whistled through the air as we exchanged attacks and counters.
"Heh, you aren't bad with a sword. But not good enough!" Claire put on a smug smile as her sword went a little bit faster and cut me in my right arm.
"That goes for you as well, white-suit." I replied as I smiled at her.
Claire looked at her left arm and saw a cut on her left arm.
"You are so going to regret this, blue-coat." Claire threatened with a murderous face.
"Make me!" I taunted.
Claire lunged at me.
"Core change. Light Pegasus!" I did the same after I activated the system.
I channeled light magic into my sword, which started to glow with a blue light.
Blue and white flashes surround us as we continued fighting. Rain looked at us in amazement while we exchanged attacks at a quick speed.
"Lightning!" Rain chanted as she cast her magic.
"Light Absorb Shield!" I chanted as I activated the Mana Absorption System and absorb her magic attack.
"What?!" Claire looked at me with disbelief as she had problems believing what just happened.
"Whirlwind Flash Sword! (Senpu Senko Ken)" I spun my sword like a lightsaber as I shouted my skill name.
Claire and Rain kept moving backward as I advanced while spinning the sword.
"Aw, dang it! I was that close!" I groaned, feeling a little down for almost cut Claire again.
'Wait, I got it!' Claire thought. 'There is a time interval for his attacks. Just wait for him.'
'Well, let's finish this, shall we?' I thought to myself as I swing my sword towards her waist for the decisive blow.
"Now!" Claire shouted internally as she swiped her sword across, aiming for my neck.
