Iris and Aena face each other, and I am there to witness their mock match.
　As the wind blew quietly and shook the trees, the two held up their favorite weapons.
　Iris has a straight sword, the Shiden. Aena, holding her rapier, pointed the tip of her sword at Iris.

"If you get a glimpse of it, that's it.
"Yeah, that's fine. "Yes, that's fine, doctor.

　Iris glanced in my direction.
　I nodded and raised my right hand to signal her.

I nodded and raised my right hand to signal. "Let's start with .......

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　I'm not sure if you're a fan of this, but I'm sure you'll like it.
　On the other hand, Aena manipulates water.
　A sphere of water floated around them, and their weapons collided with each other.
　With a resounding metallic sound, Iris's sword and Aena's rapier sparked.
　At the same time, the thunderbolts around Iris attacked Aena.
　However, the water ball floating around Aena easily blocked Iris's lightning strike.

"Water conducts electricity well.
It is said that water conducts electricity well, but only if it is not impure.
Huh.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.

I see. You're handling it well.

　I muttered to myself.
　I am well aware of Aena's high level of skill.
　We had only fought together for a short time, but she had undoubtedly earned the position of second lieutenant in the Imperial Army through her own abilities.
　Iris is not taking it easy when she fights with Aena. --And yet, they are both wielding their weapons and showing the same level of strength.

It's just as I thought. You've grown up a lot, Iris!
Thanks for that!　But you can't afford to be complacent now!
Oh, this is fun!

　But now is not the time to be complacent!" "Well, that's interesting!" Iris stepped in deeply and swung her sword in a horizontal flash, hitting Aena's rapier.
　But Aena leaps backwards, seeming to lose her balance.
　As soon as she saw the heavy blow coming, she kept her distance, which was a cool decision.
　Iris and Aena rush out again. Every time their swords and rapiers collided, a shuddering sensation rushed through the air.
　That's how much pressure they're exerting on their swords.
　Their abilities are completely on par with each other - that's how I see it.

(It would be interesting to watch the match as it is, but I don't want it to get too heated.

　I looked at the two of them and calmly assessed the situation.
　Iris's expression is serious, and she's aiming for a sure shot at Aena.
　On the other hand, Aena is smiling like she has a lot of time on her hands, but she's not letting up one bit.
　If you're not careful, you could be seriously injured in a slash fight.

"Hahaha, that's good!　Show me more!　Let's see what you're really capable of!
"Okay. If you insist, I'll do it. But you won't regret it!
Oh, you two. Don't take it too seriously.
Shut up. This is just getting interesting.
Sir, this is serious business.
...... I don't blame you.

　I walked up to the two of them as they heated up. They are both serious and do not take themselves too seriously - it's almost like killing each other.
　Of course, they don't mean to kill each other, but...

You can't go any further.
Stop!
Sir, ......?

　As I stepped into the gap between the two of them, I suppressed each of their weapons with my "mock sword".
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

I respected their wishes, but this is school grounds. I'm the referee and I've decided that this is a dangerous fight.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Sensei, .......
"Hmm, that would have been interesting. ......

　Iris looked apologetic, while Aena looked a little unhappy.
　But they each followed my lead and put their weapons away.
　I was afraid that they would not listen to me, but I am glad that we managed.

I'm glad we could work something out. "Well, you did promise me a shot at ....... Are we done now?
"Yes.

　Iris nodded at Aena's words.
　Iris looked at her chest. Aena hit him in the side. You can see that each of them has been hit by a blow.


　We both landed a blow just before I stopped.

So, this mock game is a draw. And you, Miss Aena.
What?
Please don't agitate my students too much. I'm a pretty hotheaded guy.
No, I'm not. ......
Haha, you're right. I was also excited to see Iris getting more and more excited. But I enjoyed it. Thank you.
...... Yeah, yeah. I haven't had a match without a mock sword in a while. It was fun.

　Iris and Aena smiled at each other and shared their thoughts.
　Then they began to talk about their mock match.

But Iris is swinging too hard, isn't she?　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.
I've read that much about you. If you had stepped in, I would have ducked and decided to counter for sure.
"I've read that much too. Then what happened?
It was a backhanded blow. You know that's what I'm talking about.

　It's getting a little heated, but I'm not going to interrupt this discussion.
　...... I was wondering how this was going to go, but I think Aena is going to do well here.

"Then let's play the game again and decide?
I hope so!

　I wonder if it's .......
　I watched them interact and let out an involuntary sigh.
