Speed 9 Volume 7

Like Sara, the audience was skeptical that Ikki had overcome Edelweiss, since he had not been successful before. But as they watched, Ikki repeated the feat. The false Edelweiss closed in again, and made a light-speed thrust between Ikki's brows. Ikki leaned back, and in that posture he returned the same strong slash, forcing Edelweiss back once more. It was undeniable who currently had the upper hand in this match. The confused chatter… turned into a storm of cheers!

「H-He did it! We thought the fake Edelweiss was retreating on purpose, but there's no mistake the second time! There's no doubt that Contender Kurogane has pushed her back from close range!」

「Incredible! That wasn't even a millimeter away from his nose!?」

「He really saw through it…! He wasn't bluffing!」
