Prologue 2.1
Hana Takahashi POV.
Waking up, I sat up to be in a better position. I noticed I was still in yesterday's clothes, I got up from the bed and done morning stretches. They help with fatigue, so it is something I would do every time I--
Wait a minute.
Why do I need to stretch? Let alone sleep... I've evolved past that point already--
Oh right! I summoned a daemon, demon? Whatever he called himself. But, why did I pass out? It couldn't be fatigue, which means...he was so strong that he took all my reserves? No--
"Morning." A monotonous voice greeted from the opposite side of the room.
"Kyaahh!"
"Woah. No need to be scared. It's just me. Remember? Ayanokouji. The demon that you
summoned." He asked in hollow desperation? No, timidness. He asked in hollow timidness.
"Yeah, I remember... What happened after I..."
"Passed out?" He aske--No, it was a statement.
"I didn't pass out! I..."
"Passed out." This bastard! Ugh!
"Tch. Whatever. Just tell me what happened."
"I carried you to your bed so that you could rest." He stated as he held up two fingers.
"Wait? That's all?" Maybe he's hiding the fact that he might have...?
"Yes."
"Huh? You didn't...do anything...to...me?" I slowly traced my body, to insinuate my point.
"Relax. I have no interest in your body." He waved me off as if offended at what I was trying to say.
"Gah!" I grabbed my chest as if a knife had just stabbed me.
"Oi. I can't have you dying yet, so get up." He dragged me up like an adult would do to a child.
"What do you mean you have no interest in my body!?"
"Was I not clear? I meant to say I have no sexual interest in you."
"Gahh!" I clutched my chest in exaggerated pain. It's okay, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
"...?" He just stood there confused. Completely oblivious to all the damage up he had done.
"... I'll go outside, to give you time to change. Please meet me in the backyard. I have a favor to ask." He closed the door after telling me where he's going.
Getting up, I undressed and went to the river to clean myself. I guess I can entertain his request.
Besides, I have something to ask him as well. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. That name is definitely
Japanese. This means that he is most likely similar to me.

Stretching, not out of necessity but out of habit. I couldn't help but be amused at my familiar's request.
~~~
"I'd like to have a spar with you, the only restriction is that we are not allowed to kill. Do you agree to this arrangement?"
"I'd like to add one condition." I held up my index finger.
"Sure."
"The loser has to answer the winner's questions."
"Sure, I can agree to that." We shook hands in a form of friendly gestures.
He has been here for less than a day and has already made life so much more fun! I wonder, other than wanting to confirm if he is reincarnated just like me, what else can I ask him? Let's just see what happens after this fight. Looking at Ayanokouji, he seems ready to go.
"On the count of 3?" His monotone voice cut through the silence.
"Sure."
3. He stood in basic stance, one foot in front of the other, knees slightly bent, and hands resting on his sides.
2. I stood in a simple boxer's stance.
1. We took a step and the earth beneath our feet fractured from the kinetic energy. Bringing my forearm up to intercept his--
Boom!
A boom was heard as we clashed against each other's forearms. One thing was made certain at that point, he was physically stronger than me.
"!"
He stepped back, grabbing my wrist in the process. This caused me to lose balance, looking up, I tilted my body in an awkward motion to dodge the kick to my face.
He is definitely physically stronger!
Using my dodges momentum, I bicycle kicked while creating space between us. Regaining
balance, I brought my arms up in time to block the punch to my face--Boom!!
Skidding back from the force of the punch, I thanked God for cancel pain and resist the melee attack, because that would have hurt badly if I didn't get those.
Taking "Artemis" out of its sheath, I went into a basic single sword stance. I have to get serious from here on out. Looking at Ayanokouji, my eyes widened. He conjured a basic one-handed European steel sword without magical energy.
How did he do that? Is it his skill? A unique or ultimate? Pushing aside my thoughts, I intercepted the overhead slash that was aimed at me.
Crack!
The ground gave in making a spider web pattern under my feet from the force of his slash. Stepping back, I cast an earth spell to enclose his fight, a wind spell to remove all traces of sound and smell from myself. Noticing the changes in the atmosphere, he closed his eyes.
He's waiting for me to make my move.
Using the magicules in the air, I enhanced myself and took a single step. At this moment, I activated my skill. I appeared right in front of him as if no physical distance was crossed. It was as if I was always there in there in the first place.
A step was taken, which means I'm right in front of him. I am in front of him, which means a step must have been taken.
One of the sub-skills of
Using this I was able to cut off his arm--
Reality bent, time was misplaced, recreated, and then actualized as a non-existent possibility. From being existent but unable to interact, it definitely existed because it can interact.
My breath hitched, I am the one who was enclosed into the ground, my arm had been cut and the tip of a blade was pressed on my throat. Looking up, I'm met brown eyes that hold an abyss.
How did he do this? What sort of skill would be required to completely disregard cause and effect? What ability would you need to make a possibility the current reality? Was it...an ultimate skill?
That would mean he outclasses me in every aspect. What... what is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka?
"Do you concede?" His monotonous voice asked in an authoritative tone bringing me out of my musings.
"I concede." Despite myself, a smile was on my face as I said this. Truly, from here on out, things will be interesting!
- Probability manipulation.
- Casuality manipulation.
- Magic control
- Chant annulment
- All of creation
