The Student Councils Touchstone 1
One day, several days after being invited to the student council room, I was currently training Roy and Emma in the courtyard of the capital city’s Rosenberg estate.
Holding a sword at his side, Roy started dashing towards me. At that moment, the outline of his figure blurred– no, Emma was hiding behind him and had jumped out to flank me.
The boy swung his sword at me head on, while his sister lunged at me from the side with her dagger. As expected of siblings, they were perfectly in sync.
However, they were still inexperienced.
Stepping into Roy’s range on purpose, I disrupted his swing while deflecting it elsewhere. The redirected sword ended up obstructing Emma’s charge, and I took that moment to land a blow on her brother’s vitals as well.
At the exact moment Roy fell to his knees, Emma avoided his blade and jumped in to make her attack– but now that they weren’t coordinating to pincer me, her strike was full of openings.
Catching her wrist, I then proceeded to twist her arm upwards, pressing her own dagger against her neck.
“That’s the end.”
“I’m not done yet, Master!*”
