It's the time for the showdown!
After Iwato made simple breakfast for Tsumugu and Karen, the two took him down to the training room.
[Tsumu-san, is this room okay?]
[Then, I'm relieved...]
Karen said so, and faced Iwato who's standing about 10 meters from the place.
[Master, the reason I call you here, is to have you fulfill the promise you made]
--Promise.
『Master! Please show me your status! And also, have a mock battle with me!』
Even if he recalled it, he didn't agree at all. Assuming that what Iwato's thinking is right, his casual wear--in short, Iwato is now wearing T-shirt and short pants with an apron unlike Karen who's in her battle clothes. Extremely cruel.
[Don't tell me you're going to fight me in this condition]
[...You said it, girl]
Iwato sighed unintentionally as his unpleasant hunch was right.
He no longer have any allies.
[I heard that Master's strength is on par with god]
--From who?
[...What a strange dream]
Sensing that the stance was used by her for a long time, Tsumugu muttered this.
[Match...begin]
Just like that, the first battle of Master and Pupil begins.
☆☆☆
Karen starts to run together with the signal of the start, and at the same time, she starts to chant that spell she shown in the living room before.
[Magical☆Magical! Appear, my Magic Weapon!]
At the same time, jumps up and create a huge hammer from the faint light drop.
Iwato retreats to the back quickly, and at the same time, a huge hammer swung down at the place where Iwato was.
A loud sound resounds in the room as if to show the brutal power of the hammer, and Iwato said this instinctively.
[Hey, Mahou Shoujo. Where's your magic?]
The 『Weak Water』 probably has some effect on it, but still, this phenomenon can't be said as a G rank superpower. Because it's more appropriate to call it 『Magic』.
Iwato dodged to the side nimbly, and Karen who have shorten the distance between them during the time, had a light coiling both of her hands.
[Transform, tonfa!]
What appeared is a jet black tonfa, and there's one each on both of her hands.
Anyway, Iwato only wanted to say one thing.
[You, seriously should quit as a Mahou Shoujo]
Numerous attacks of hooks and straights with the tonfa and also foot techniques. On top of that, her blue coat is blocking Iwato's vision unexpectedly. Iwato was a little surprised by the attacks coming out from the shadow.
And--
[Heave-ho]
Just one word. The next moment after Karen's straight punch.
During the time, Iwato stepped into her bosom, and he grabbed her stretched arm and toss her.
[Kyaaa!?]
Although Karen raised an unusual cute scream as she was thrown, she immediately recovers her stance and lands.
She runs at her full speed, and thanks to that, she reaches Iwato instantly.
Karen lunged with a dropkick aiming at Iwato's face as if she's trying to break his glasses.
Then, Karen had a smile when she saw that, and she hook his right hand with her ankle, and by doing so, the distance between them was shorten in an instant.
[I finally caught...you!!]
And, the storm of barrage starts again.
In this kind of offence and defence, it will be decided by the first one who broke his/her stance for sure. Then, it's important to ward off the opponent's attack to create a chance.
Although she immediately jumped back from there, she noticed that her back was drenched with cold sweats, and unpleasant sweat flows on her face.
(Even...even with that, he can throw a counter at the right timing. If that fist was swung completely...)
While thinking so, Karen looked at Iwato.
Karen who was made to realize the fact, clenched her teeth.
But still, this is a different story.
[That's not a compliment, right?]
Iwato said so while looking at Tsumugu who has came nearby before he knew it.
[7 points. Of course the perfect score...is 100]
[Hey, Tsumu. Won't that be negative at the end?]
She certainly had a cheerful smile when seeing her face from the side, and Iwato held a complicated feeling when he tried to make Tsumugu smile during the first time they met.
When Iwato goes to Tsumugu's side and crouches down, he starts to stroke her head.
[Un...Tsumugu...Onee-chan]
[I-I'm...the Onee-chan~]
The two were surprised by the voice and they looked at Karen.
Although Iwato wanted to say [You recovered fast!?] instinctively, the so-called sisters started to fight.
[Karen...idiot. I...smart. Onee-chan...me]
[9 years old...stronger than 16 years old]
[Huh? Come to think of it, where's Master?]
He heard such voice from his back.

Karen can't draw out Iwato's true strength. (Well, everyone knew something like that)
