After the song ended, Yuna said, "Now I would like to call on stage the person who has the highest chance of being the next Fleet Admiral: Liebe Faust. Please come on stage and give your speech."
As Liebe stepped on stage, he said, "Hello everyone, I'm Liebe, and well… I'm here to state our journey finally begins. Being a knight always seemed like a fantasy to me, and in my short life so far, I have known so many great knights who are amazing. I came here to learn and understand what makes them so amazing and hopefully stand beside them on equal terms one day."
As everyone clapped, Licht saw the mysterious girl from before and said, "Hey."
The girl said, "Hello, you are Licht, right? Liebe's friend. But I just came to say one thing: if you actually harbour any ill intentions towards Liebe, as his sword I will end you. Just bear that in mind."
After the claps and applause ended, Yuna again stepped on the stage and stated, "Right here, today, I will be battling Liebe Faust over the ocean, as I believe there are many amongst you who still doubt his strength."
As a boat brought Yuna and Liebe 15 km away from the shore, Yuna said, "Don't disappoint me, Liebe."
Liebe said, "If you actually mean that, then take it to 30 km. This isn't far enough."
Yuna took flight and said, "You can fly too, can't you?"
Liebe replied, "Ok then," and took flight as well.
Yuna smiled. "Ohh, you can fly too? That's impressive for a first year."
Liebe said, "I've been flying ever since I was three."
"For me, ever since I was twelve," Yuna replied.
"Well, that's also impressive," Liebe said.
"Shall we begin?" Yuna asked.
"Ok," Liebe answered.
Alysa then asked Licht, "Who do you think will win? Does Liebe actually have a chance to win this?"
Licht replied, "It will be a tough battle for sure, since we don't know Yuna's attribute."
The mysterious girl said, "Liebe Al Faust will win this fight in 5 minutes and 12 seconds."
Licht asked, "How do you know?"
The girl replied, "An educated guess."
"Let's see how true that guess really is," Licht said.
Yuna called out, "Sound Magic: Form Crystal Shards!"
Liebe blinked. "What kind of attribute is that?"
"Sound Magic — Crystal Edge!" Yuna answered, and all the crystal shards shot toward Liebe.
Liebe countered, "Shield of Dark!"
Yuna immediately followed with, "Sound Magic: Roar of Flames!" A huge flame blast roared toward Liebe.
Liebe responded, "Dark Magic: Devil Spear!"
As their attacks clashed, Alysa asked, "What kind of attribute does she have?"
Licht explained, "Word-strength magic. Whatever she says — as long as it's a magic type and doesn't change reality — can happen. That's how she just used crystal and flame magic. I'm sure Liebe knows it too."
Alysa frowned. "That attribute sure looks like trouble."
Liebe pressed forward. "Ok… Dark Magic: Black Meteorite!"
Yuna countered, "Spatial Magic: Pastoral Gate!"
Liebe entered the portal and exited from another direction. "No way… that was Gelda's move!"
Yuna smirked. "Yes, good to see you recognize it."
"Spatial, flame, and crystal — are those the only attributes you know?" Liebe asked.
"I have seen and memorized the moves of almost every member of Black Rose," Yuna replied, "including this one — Sound Magic: Daresk Roar of Dark! Now… Roar of Darkness!"
Liebe's eyes widened. "No way… you have that as well?! Dark Magic: Dark Castling!"
Yuna grinned. "Oh, you survived."
Liebe said, "You even know my grandfather's moves… impressive."
"I saw recordings of their battles time and time again until I could replicate those spells using my magic," Yuna explained.
"You can replicate them, and the spells are the same alright," Liebe said, "but I can promise you the scale isn't."
"I know. Mine aren't as refined," Yuna admitted.
Liebe grinned. "But still, that's good. It means right now I'm fighting my grandfather, mother, Uncle Jewel, Sujibur, Dr. Dover, David, father — all of them together. And I can also do the same now! Dark Magic: Roar of Darkness!"
Yuna answered, "Dark Magic: Roar of Darkness!"
The clash of darkness shook the air — it could go either way.
