Administrator’s sword descended, targeting Knight Alice’s left shoulder as she stood and spread her arms wide in her attempt to protect me.

It happened exactly as the keen blade tore through the scorched knight uniform’s sleeve to dig into her pale skin.

The tip of my blade sword, swung hard diagonally upwards while I got to my feet, barely intercepted the silver sword, letting out a fierce burst of sparks.

The impact put Administrator a distance away from Alice and me, driving us behind.

Holding onto Alice in my left hand as she fell onto her chest, I was blown away to the window once again and braced my legs to prevent crashing into the windowpane. Leaning her head against my right shoulder, Alice turned her head slightly towards the left and looked at me with her blue eye.
