'Fuck'
Elior ducked dodging Lyra's head on attack
Side stepping to create some distance between himself and Lyra, Lyra was slightly bewildered
'He's fast'
"You are crazy!" Elior remarked
"Oh, is that how you see me now?"
Lyra Vayne was nothing short of an exceptional student.
Blessed with one of the rarer affinities Light, she was nothing more than a once in a generational gem
Hardworking since was little, she quickly rose to becoming the pride of the Vayne household.
Wielding the sword Muramsume, Lyra tackled beast far stronger than what her peers could handle
Adorning the praises of the adults and the fears of her classmates, she soon got the nickname
"Photon Reaper"
The huge reason for this nickname was how her fighting style was, so entrancing yet deadly.
It was the perfect combination of beauty and death
"Siskom"
Chanting it, Elior quickly jumped as he bolted in the air for a minimal amount of time
"Won't let you"
Quickly disappearing and reappearing, Lyra appeared before Elior slashing him vertically
"Ignum"
Chanting it as quickly as he could, Elior evaded Lyra's attack as divulged into the darkness at that exact moment
Yet—
"Blind"
Lyra engulfed the whole area in a beam of light as it prevented Elior from slipping into the darkness.
Caught him off guard, Elior eyesight temporarily became hazy.
"Got you"
As she reappeared in front of Elior, Lyra punched him in the abdomen as it sent Elior flying
Light and darkness
"Rare affinities but different in every aspect" Lyra said scoffing
*Whoosh*
Blowing a gust of wind towards her, Lyra dodged efficiently as she weaved forward in a sharp, erratic zigzag
Trying to create some distance, Elior's thoughts ran amok
'Shit'
'Shit'
'Shit'
'She is so strong'
'I need to regrou-"
Before Elior could put his thought together, Muramsume suddenly flung towards him
*Phew*
Dodging Muramsume head on, Elior breath a sigh of relief
"Respawn"
"?"
Unbeknownst to Elior, Lyra reappeared behind him as she clutched her sword tightly.
*Shudder*
As she prepared to slash him with killing intents, Elior instincts kicked in.
They all yelled duck as Elior heeded to
"Impressive"
Dodging it, Elior did Aero slash
Yet—
Lyra dodged it effortlessly
'She countering everything'
'Is she a machine'
'Crap'
Lyra charged towards Elior with incredible speed
"Oh, come on"
Lyra slashed but Elior blocked it right on time
Lyra and Elior created some distance between themselves after that
Elior was already out of breath and Lyra noticed it already
'He is still inexperienced after all'
After Elior was born, Lyra put her all into it hoping to be the big sister which Elior could depend on
'The protective big sister'
Unfortunately, the rumors started
"Is that the unfit child?"
"Failure"
Those were the only words that stuck in Lyra mind.
Her dominating presence had created a lot of pressure on Elior which he could not handle
This created comparisons between both children which eventually led to them drifting apart
This haunted Lyra deeply who went on to conquer and get more achievements and Elior became the more lazy, complacent child not motivated to do anything
Lyra tried mending their broken relationship before she heading to the academy
But
Elior shut her out completely and that broke her.
"Is that all you can do, little brother?"
Lyra asked with a smirk across her face
"You are crazy"
Elior responded as he grasped for air
Lyra charged at Elior preparing to strike him disregarding his current state
But Elior deflected it as he had every intention in punching her orb in one strike
Coating his arm with aura, Elior prepared to strike the orb fist handed first but Lyra caught him off guard
"Thunderflash Step"
Like lightning, Lyra threaded from one location to another as she created some distance between themselves
Elior was left visibly stunned
"Fuck"
Frustration clawed at Elior as his screams echoed throughout the mansion
"Dual deviant affinities"
"Yeah"
Lyra said as she massaged her head sheepishly
"What a cheat code!"
Elior took one glance at Lyra
Lyra chuckled slightly
"I can't believe you made me reveal this card"
"Since that has happened, no holding back from me"
Thunderflash Step
Lyra instantly teleported before Elior could even blink
'Fast'
Punching Elior hard, Lyra sent him knocking the air out of his lungs as he clashed into the nearby wall
'She could have killed me'
'She could have won'
Yet—
'She hasn't'
'It's almost like she thinks I have something up my sleeve'
Elior stood up sighing in surrender
'I wanted to try this out against someone tougher but guess I have no more choice'
Elior muttered calmly
"Crown of Logic"
