( Chifuyu's POV )
Kurokawa B. Yuuki, someone with an ability that far surpassed that of any other student, the display he put on with a training unit was impressive but when he was using that unique unit his movements were unbelievable, and the specs that we were reviving from his unit were nothing ordinary either, it was something that was outside the boundaries of the third generation, something I would prefer not to be turned against us.
Maya: I think you are worrying too much.
Chifuyu: ...I didn't say anything.
Maya: You didn't have to, it's true that there's a lot that Yuuki-kun isn't saying, but he's always shown us who he really is, he's a bit strange, but he's a good boy.
Chifuyu: Let's just hope things stay that way.
I continued watching the broadcast of the duel, Yuuki could have finished with his first attack but he let the fight continue and now he was just flying around Cecilia while blocking all her shots with his sword, He had many opportunities to end the duel but he didn't take any, and what we heard through their communications was Yuuki giving advice to Cecilia.
/////////////////////////////
( Yuuki's POV )
Yuuki: You need to point out where I'm going to move, IS has omnidirectional movement, but each person has a movement pattern, at this point, you should already know mine.
Cecilia: stop distracting me, this should stop you!
Cecilia released a few small drones from her shoulder wings, but that wasn't too hard to dodge, Their trajectories were not complicated and their firing patterns were easy to predict, I used my tails to stop her drones and then I closed the distance between us, Cecilia had a frustrated expression on her face but that changed to a smile.
Cecilia: I got you now!
Cecilia revealed a pair of rocket launchers placed on her waist, and she fired at me at close range, a desperate maneuver where we both could get hurt, but I used a burst of speed and positioned myself behind her again, I swung my sword, and it went high into the sky.
Cecilia: Huh? It can't be, he took so much of my shield with just one attack.
Cecilia panicked a bit and fired everything she had at me to prevent me from getting close to her, I used quick spinning slashes that cut off all of Cecilia's attacks.
Cecilia: why can't I hit you.
Yuuki: because you lack training.
I arrived in front of Cecilia with my sword pointed at her chest, she had a face of disbelief, but she knew she had lost.
Yuuki: But I see a lot of potential in you, you just need someone who can push you to your limits, if you want, I can train with you at any time, It's my thanks for the good duel, Cecilia.
Chifuyu: [ That's the end, the winner is Kurokawa B. Yuuki. ]
When the duel ended I returned there were many people overwhelming me with questions so I returned to the dorms, There in the common room, Tsukiumi, Charles, Ichika, and I talked about the duel from before, Charles was the one who had the most knowledge about IS so we were throwing a lot of questions at him, and when we had no more questions I said I was going to go for a night walk with Tsukiumi, which was code for returning to Kouten and continuing our analysis of the strange core, Matsu and Regina were impressed with that technology but they said it would only take a few days to replicate it, efficient as always.
///////////////////////////////
( Cecilia's POV )
I couldn't believe what had happened, I lost against someone who was supposed to be a complete novice, but still, I couldn't touch him even once.
When I returned to my room, I got into the shower, and our duel kept running through my head, during all that, he was giving me advice, I thought he was trying to distract me but he didn't need that kind of tactics, his words rang loudly in my head, especially his last words.
' Come train with me anytime, Cecilia.
Cecilia: Yuuki...
After cooling off, I went to sleep, but I couldn't get the boy who had defeated me out of my head.
Cecilia: Yuuki, Yuuki...
///////////////////
( Yuuki's POV )
Charles: Hey Yuuki, what kind of unit is that you used?
When I returned from my "walk" Charles was sitting on his bed and he immediately threw me a question about my unique unit, he had given me a lot of information before, so I didn't mind answering, I wasn't going to give out confidential information.
Yuuki: That's the Asura unit, it's an all-rounder type, although I didn't have the chance to show everything it could do.
Charles: I noticed that, my unit is of the same type, but the performance of our units is at different levels.
Yuuki: Having the best machine is useless without the skill to use it, I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do.
Charles: I guess now I have to give it my best shot, but now I'm interested in that Babylon kingdom you came from.
Yuuki: oh I don't mind if you want to accompany me on my next visit there, although I assume the next time we have free time, you'll want to go back home.
Charles: ...Yeah, that's probably it, but thanks for inviting me.
Yuuki: No problem, my friends are always welcome at my house.
After that short conversation, Charles went to sleep, and I messaged Miu and told them to prepare to receive the IS units, I also called the occult club to come and try out the IS pilot simulator that Regina had created.
//////////////////////
The next day we went out to the track for our classes.
Chifuyu: Today, you will observe a small flight demonstration, Alcott, Kurokawa, you will do the demonstration.
When the teacher called our names we went to the front but I noticed that Cecilia was a little strange, her face was a little red.
Yuuki: Hey, are you okay?
Cecilia: Yes... Don't worry about me.
We both activated our units and began to fly following Chifuyu's instructions, but Cecilia was falling back, I approached to ask what was happening, but she didn't respond, she was breathing heavily, and suddenly, her IS was deactivated.
I caught her quickly, and when I had her in my arms, I felt she was very hot, I think she had a fever.
