Noble Arts 7 Volume 9

This time, having sidestepped Narukami, Ikki did not need to lock swords with Touka, which prevented her from using the same move again. Their close range battle continued in this manner.
Ikki would have to rethink his close range tactics from square one.
Despite being able to clearly surpass her swing speed, he could not land a decisive blow on Touka.
Moreover, Ikki was slowly starting to fall behind.
The cause must be…
(This switching around!)
Ikki saw it in her movements while being pressured.
Touka’s blade would strike out with the sharpness of the legendary sword technique Swallow Counter, then return with unnatural speed, leaving a trail like a flash of lightning.
Squeezed into the moments between blows, these strikes threw
off Ikki’s rhythm.
This was the technique Touka Toudou had polished in order to win at this year’s tournament. By creating a special magnetic field around her, she could use electromagnetic attraction and repulsion to move her sword at speeds exceeding the limits of her body. It was her Noble Art, Inazuma, devised as a counter to Yuudai Moroboshi’s superhuman technique, Houkiboshi.
The burden on the wrist made it impossible to use it haphazardly, but by occasionally mixing it in while trading blows, she could
interrupt her opponent’s rhythm. Once their rhythm was
interrupted, forcing them back was simple!
“Aha!”
“Ku!”
Touka lunged at Ikki’s chest.
