The air on the training ground hummed with tension. My black kimono whispered as I moved—a blur of lethal precision, the Vassal Fan striking Naofumi’s shield again and again. Raphtalia, Filo, Kizuna, and L’Arc stood at the edge, their eyes fixed on this clash between worlds. I pushed harder, speed overwhelming his guard. Then his shield darkened into the Soul Eater. A beam of draining energy shot out. For a Spirit Person, it was not stamina it sought—it was my soul. Agony seized me. I fell, my body convulsing, screams tearing from my throat as Naofumi stared in stunned confusion.
