They were only small mistakes, and against anyone else, they would have meant nothing but Scáthach had taught Cu Chulainn everything he knew, often sparring with the hero at full strength and coming out on top. There was no way she could lose to this flawed and weaker style that Issei used and everyone knew it as the boy's spear kept getting deflected with a lazy ease.
"Scáthach, I think this has gone on long enough don't you?" sighed Morrigan as she watched the one sided beat down.
The immortal witch just shook her head at her companion, "not yet he looks like he still has some fight left in him," she replied in an approving tone as Issei picked himself up from the ground.
[BOOST!]
"See," laughed Scáthach as she deflected Issei's attack before tripping him over as he passed her and placed her Gae Bolg above his chest, while his own was resting tip first into the floorboards.
"Not bad Issei but if my student couldn't beat me then you must know that you stand no chance," she commented with a competitive grin.
"You never know until you try right?" smirked Issei, and Scáthach immediately sensed the familiar feeling of Rune Magic beneath her.
Glancing down her eyes widened as she saw the rune that Issei had carved into floorboards with his spear, begin to glow brightly before a brilliant sphere of light enveloped the two of them and blinding the witch. 'So it's not just his fighting style that is inherited. Clever boy, using a Rune of Light like that,' she thought in approval.
[BOOST!]
"Include Archer!" Scáthach heard the twin announcements as her eyesight returned and the witch saw Issei standing in front of her with Gae Bolg ready and a large black bow stored on his back.
"Oi boy, why did you activate that card? You must realize that Atalanta's bow isn't going to help you in this fight right?" frowned Morrigan as she eyed Issei and caused Scathach's eyes to widen in surprise.
"Go ahead. I shall pass in front of you afterward like a squall," quoted the teen in response with a grin before bringing his spear up to block Scathach's incoming blow, shocking the two females.
"How well do you two know the legend of the Chaste Huntress?" asked Issei as he blocked another of her strikes, causing a frown to appear on Scathach's face before she began picking speed.
Scáthach suddenly found herself on the receiving end of Issei's Gae Bolg and had to quickly abandon her attack and bring her own spear up to deflect the counterattack. The two Gae Bolg's creating a shower of sparks as they clashed, 'what's going on? Even if I'm only at half speed he shouldn't be able to keep up with me.'
[BOOST!]
"Atalanta was often fond of letting her opposing racers get a head start in her footraces before overtaking them and winning. In fact some even believed that as long as she let her opponents move first, she could predict the outcome and change it in her favour," elaborated Issei as he continued blocking each of Scathach's strikes, the witch moving so fast that she wasn't even visible to the human eye anymore.
Scáthach just blinked and laughed as she stopped her assault while giving Issei an approving nod, "if you can't react to my attacks then the next best thing is to try and predict them. You really are a resourceful one aren't you?"
The immortal witch then gained a hopeful look on her face as the Gae Bolg she held began glowing a deep crimson and bloodlust filled the room. "Scáthach what are you doing?! We don't want to kill him!" shouted Morrigan.
Scáthach just ignored the Goddess as she stared at her opponent, "Issei Hyoudou, activate your Gae Bolg, if you don't then you will die," she promised as her hopeful expression morphed into a blank face.
'I need to know which is more powerful, I need to know if he can grant me my wish!' she thought, desperately as the tip of her spear started shaking in anticipation. The teen just gave her a sad look but did as he was told and the room was illuminated with twin crimson glows.
[BOOST!]
"Both of you stop! The Boundary Field can't take much more!" ordered Morrigan desperately, only to be ignored as both combatants continued funneling power into their spears.
The entire dojo was caught up in a maelstrom as the doors and windows began shaking from the force of the crimson energies swirling around the room and forming around the two blood red lances. However, it was clear that Scathach's spear was by far the superior as it gathered more and more of the crimson light, dwarfing the amount surrounding Issei's.
"Is that weak excuse really the best your Gae Bolg can do?" sighed Scáthach sadly, as her wish was again out of reach.
"I suppose it was wishful thinking that I could overpower you in only the Include state, but don't you dare insult Cu Chulainn's symbol," growled Issei fiercely, and the witch watched as the Boosted Gear on his arm began to glow.
[Dragon Booster Second Liberation!]
When she looked at the gauntlet, Scáthach raised an eyebrow in confusion as it appeared to look more…evolved then before with a second jewel now glowing as well as the first. "I'll show you the real power of Gae Bolg," promised Issei as he glared at her.
[TRANSFER!]
Suddenly the crimson energy surrounding Issei's spear expanded rapidly until it was even rivalling the amount forming around Scathach's, and still it kept growing. Morrigan and Scáthach just watched in awe as the entire building began shaking from the forces that were now assaulting it, windows shattering and the doors struggling to stay upright.
As the two looked back at Issei they instantly gasped as the teen's pupils narrowed to familiar beastlike like slits, his iris' glowing a bright orange as he jumped backwards and crouched in a stance similar to a runner's before a race. The two females blinked and no longer were they looking at a teenage boy but Cu Chulainn himself surrounded by the swirling mass of crimson energy.
