Missing Incident [2]

Challes stumbled a few steps back before he regained his balance and stood straight. He was not caught by surprise or anything—he was expecting Ryfin to be at least this powerful, but even so, right now was more than what he'd imagined.

"Not bad," he noted.

"Sadly I can't say the same for you," Ryfin criticized.

"Then I'll make you say it…Magiken!" Challes screamed, and his sword emitted light.

He'd activated his magiken but the light his sword released was more than the students' swords. His magiken-enabled sword was then revealed; it was a violet-colored blade that was shining beautifully.

Then he looked at Ryfin who was waiting for him to finish his show so that they can continue where they left off, though aside from that he didn't look like he was anywhere close to activating his magiken.

"Don't tell me you intend to fight me without your magiken?" Challes asked, pointing his sword in Ryfin's direction.
