Ayato Amagiri

Agility -----------------
"The fourth floor, huh... Well, since there are also footholds, I think there shouldn't be a problem." Though there was an iron fence about two meters high between the walkway and the building, Ayato jumped over it lightly, without needing a running start. Taking hold of a nearby tree branch, he casually climbed up. For Ayato, a member of the <Starpulse Generation>(Genestella), such a task was indeed trivial.

Speed====================
The Star-Power(Prana) of the girl increased explosively, and the
atmosphere rumbled. A chemical element was converted by the Mana,
which given direction, awakened the phenomenon.
(This presence, don't tell me she is...!)
"Come into bloom – Six-Petal Burst Firebloom(Amaryllis)!"
At that moment, a huge fireball appeared before the girl, and was aimed at
Ayato.
"A <Witch>(Strega)!?"
Suddenly jumping from the window, he adjusted his posture in the air and
landed.
A roaring sound echoed almost at the same time. Looking up, a huge
firebloom (flame flower) opened its bud in the air. It was a large flower of
exploding flame, with overlapping blazing petals.
The air vibrated as the gust of heat rushed past. It showed just how the
explosion possessed a tremendous power.
"...No, no, no."
As Ayato was taken aback... Inside the window, where some sparks still
poured down, the girl appeared and let her body lightly leap from the
opened window. Like Ayato, she gracefully dropped to the ground without
any problem from the height of the fourth floor.

"Oho... to be able to dodge that, you are pretty good." The girl's anger
spread in her voice, even though she offered some admiration

Speed-----------------------------
Nine fireballs in the form of a lovely primrose, each with a different orbit,
attacked Ayato.
As Ayato twisted his body and dodged them, the fireballs that had already
hit the ground burst and disappeared along with the dull sound of an
explosion.
The concrete pavement, set in the style of cobblestones, now had holes
completely gouged out of it. Though it might be preferable to the earlier
explosion, this power was also enough to let a chill run down one's spine.
Regarding the body tissues of the <Starpulse Generation>(Genestella), the
muscles were made stronger than those of ordinary humans; Furthermore,
if the Star-Power(Prana) was concentrated the physical body could raise a
defensive force, enough to at least protect against a bullet. Still, if it hit
directly, one could not get away unscathed.
Besides, and in addition to all that... The remaining fireballs were still
incessantly attacking Ayato from all directions.
"Wa-wa-wah...!"
However, Ayato outdid each of the attacks by a hairsbreadth.
Sometimes by leaping vertically, and sometimes by bending his body, he
dodged them at the limit.
At those movements, the girl was surprised once again and opened her
eyes wide.

Speed--------------------
When Julis swung the fine sword like a baton, spears of huge pale flames
manifested along the arc. The flames which carried the shape of the
trumpet lily were flying, just like that, to pierce through Ayato with the
momentum of a rocket.
"Argh!"
Though Ayato somehow parried it with the sword as a shield, the shock
sent him flying wildly.

Speed---------------------------
As a huge fire ball appeared before Julis, the gallery stirred.
It was the same technique she used to kick out Ayato from her room, but it
was twice as big this time.
"That's not good! It's her best move!"
"Wai––, it's not a joke!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
Even if one was caught and injured, it would be of course at their own risk.
The gallery hastily retreated further.
Julis, without looking at such curious onlookers, instantly calculated the
most optimal trajectory and released the fire ball. Though Ayato bent his
waist and stood ready, just before he dodged, Julis tightly clenched her
fist.
"Explode!"
"...!"
Upon command, the fireball exploded in front of Ayato's eyes.
Even if it was difficult to make it hit directly, it would be impossible to
completely dodge it if the explosion occurred at this distance. If caught in
this explosion at point-blank range, <Starpulse Generation>(Genestella) or
not, he would not be able to move for a while.
The visibility was lost due to the raging flames. While protecting her face
from the thunderous blast, Julis was convinced of her victory.
––However.
"Amagiri Dragon Arts First Sword Fighting Skill –– Twin Water Dragons!"
As what one would think looked like a sword slash flashed, the flame
petals were torn up crosswise.
"Wha–... don't tell me, the Falling Stars Arts(Meteor Arts)?"
The Falling Stars Arts(Meteor Arts) was a skill which temporarily raised the
output of the Shining Type Armament(Lux) by pouring the
Star-Power(Prana) into the Mana Dite.
It was officially known as "over-excitation total response phenomenon", but
it was not something that could be learned in a day.
A suitable training, and above all thorough adjustments of the Shining
Type Armament(Lux) were required.
If it was pulled off with just a borrowed Shining Type Armament(Lux)––
The next moment when Julis felt something close to a shiver, a black
shadow which appeared from the break of the flame closed the distance in
one breath.
Once she recognized that the shadow was Ayato, he had already jumped
into her bosom.
It was an incredible speed. It was in another league compared to his
movements up to now.
––For an instant, Ayato had a feeling that something like spark of light was
scattered around him, but he could not be concerned with that.
"Y-You!"
Julis who reflexively tried to attack, was struck by Ayato's sharp voice.
"Get down!"
Before Julis understood what was going on, she was pushed down.
Ayato's face was within a hair's breadth and her heart leapt.
The light that dwelt in those eyes was earnest, as if it was a different
person.
"Y-You, what are you...!"
Still, raising her voice in protest –– she unintentionally opened her eyes
wide.
There was a shining arrow stuck in the ground where Julis had been
standing until now.
It was not a physical item. It was something created by a Shining Type
Armament(Lux).
The Shining Type Armament(Lux) temporarily concentrated Mana, and
generated a blade or a bullet. The maintained weapon did not have any
problem keeping it's shape within the activation tool, like a sword; however
a ranged weapon could not maintain it's form for long once fired. It became
particles of light and faded away before her eyes.
"What are you doing?"
It was obviously an attack aimed at Julis.
It was probably a planned surprise attack under the cover of the explosion.
In fact, whatever had been shooting from wherever, it must not have been
noticed by anyone at the time. Though extremely reluctant admit this, if
Ayato hadn't saved her, it would have completely succeeded.
