Kaori vs Carissa

The Saint Kanzaki Kaori and Second Princess Carissa.

A scorching tension ran between the two women.


No concrete physical phenomenon was going to act as a trigger.

Their thoughts would trigger the beginning of the fight.

“!!”

“!!”

Kanzaki moved first.

She started to draw her sword…and then used 7 wires instead.

Nanasen.

Holding Curtana Original, Carissa’s response to the wires simultaneously attacking from different angles was…

“If you hold back against an enemy like me…you will die.”

A tremendous noise rang out.

The next thing Kamijou knew, Kanzaki and Carissa had their blades locked
together at extremely close quarters. Carissa had merely rushed in and swung her
sword, but Kamijou hadn’t been able to see even that simple action.

“So you can fight on the level of this dimension-severing attack? With two
attacks that can slice through anything, some inconsistencies or contradictions
may be created between the two laws.”

“…Your movements are different from before. It seems you too will get tripped
up if you hold back.”

Those words had been intended to protect Kamijou, but the boy himself knew in

his heart it wasn’t true.

His instincts told him that the princess who excelled at military matters may
regulate herself, but she did not “hold back”.

“At any rate, this thing can be quite difficult to use. You need to ensure that
unnecessary side effects and openings are not created while paying the price
required by the situation to get the desired result. The ability to make strategies
that prevent unneeded expenditure, reductions, or shortness of breath is a needed
skill.”

The two repelled each other’s weapon and then swung their own blade again.

Their bodies blurred.

From there, they entered a series of attacks and defenses where Kamijou had a
hard time determining where exactly they were. Continuous explosive noises as
if from a machine gun continued as sparkling objects flew between the two
women. Around Kanzaki were broken wires and around Carissa were the fangs
of wreckage that appeared with each strike.
