  1. Naturally, all of Amane's attacks missed. Audience and announcer felt their excitement drained by terrible disappointment. But Saikyou and the mage-knights in attendance saw things in a different light.
  2.  
  3. 「There's certainly no technique or power… but Kuro-bou's still taking it seriously.」
  4.  
  5. To Shizuku, it appeared that Ikki was managing Amane's attacks well and had an advantage, but Stella's face was grim.
  6.  
  7. "Stella-san, what's wrong?"
  8.  
  9. "This guy… moves like how an amateur would, but the way he's stabbing in and out is flawless. Every swing is clear and decisive, and they're all coming from Ikki's most difficult angles. Ikki can't respond carelessly."
  10.  
  11. "I-Is that true!? Now that you mention it…."
  12.  
  13. Indeed, Ikki was not warding Amane off completely. Though it seemed so at a glance, he was being pressured, and could not counterattack. Stella trembled at this unforeseen development.
  14.  
  15. "…Is that guy so skilled with a sword!?"
  16.  
  17. It was Kurono who explained what was happening.
  18.  
  19. "This is likely Nameless Glory in action too."
  20.  
  21. "What do you mean?"
  22.  
  23. "Shinomiya is just swinging his swords with abandon, but all of his attacks just happen to optimally effective."
  24.  
  25. Amane's Noble Art, Nameless Glory, had the power to overwhelm Ikki at sword range. Doing so was not impossible, so that power made it happen. As moments passed, the audience started noticing the strangeness of Amane continuing to attack Ikki and forcing Ikki back, despite the many openings in Amane's guard.
