Chapter 4: The Truesilver KnightThe second combat day of the Solrise Intra-House Tournament has begun, and the campus is abuzz with talk about Class 3-F's recent victory over the vaunted Class 3-C. Despite the fierce fighting, Class 3-F ultimately came out victorious. But this is the real match everyone has been waiting for; a match between the class headed by the legendary Theodora Kokkinos, the Unstoppable Girl of Miletos, legend of the tournament circuit before she was even twenty years of age, and the class headed by Steven Harrigan, son of the ancient Harrigan warrior family, heir to their legacy.
And so far, all bets are on Theodora.
The match has been going on for almost an hour, as Class 3-F is sitting in the stands watching their batchmates fight.
The fighting between Class 3-C and 3-A was furious. Yet, as an injured Elma is airlifted from the fight, having managed to take out Maximus in the process, in the middle of the sandblasted middle of the fight remain the last two members of their respective classes, Theodora and Steven. Both of them look exhausted, but Theodora looks in better condition than Steven.
Theodora pops herself up on her lance.
"It has been a good match...Harrigan. But....it is coming to an end."Steven nods, slowly drawing his sword. It was a cane sword, in the style of gentlemen of twenty years ago, but coated with an Alphinite-silver alloy, dubbed "truesilver" for its non-tarnishing properties. While others of his batch preferred an older aesthetic, Steven had always preferred the style of upper-class gentlemen of his time.
"Indeed, Kokkinos. This has been...interesting."You can see the air faintly shimmer around Steven's blade, where his Arte has activated. You can also see Kaya in her seat nearby, anxiously munching away at the popcorn, her eyes fixed on Steven and Steven alone.
Earnings will be updated shortly.
Class 3-F receives 2500 thalers for their previous victory.
