Edith really did enjoy the company of Kenan but she wasn't sure about marrying the boy. She just felt it was completely unacceptable for him to be married to a useless woman when he clearly needed a Queen by his side. “Seeing him cry really made me want to save him. He probably felt so alone since his mother died.” Edith internally rolled her eyes. “The Sister always told me not to court a momma’s boy but I feel like he’s different.”
“I know one thing, forsure I'm differently not letting some doormat woman like her have a man like him.” Edith said, steeling herself.
Calypso was more annoyed than anything else with this fight and it hadn’t even begun. “I'm just a pawn in their little game at this point. Maybe I should just take a fall and not have to worry about a pontinental headache.”
Both Edith and Calypso eyed eachothers weapons. “There's no way I can walk away and not test my blade against her's though.” They both thought.
“Began!!!” Marshall Solomon said.
There was an unspoken rule with two fighters that wielded a weapon. That they wouldn't use any abilities in the first exchange. It was strictly the mastery of one's weapon that must be tested. Not the way they use their ability alongside their weapon.
Both Edith and Calypso rushed in, their weapons clashed together a few times before small sparks began forming after every contact.
Edith swipes down with her sword breaker and Calypso raises her Ignis Fang to block it. After their blades connect it comes a test of strength.
“She is a genuine genius with her weapon. How can she match me blow for blow? I've been taught by an actual master swordsman.” Vilena thought. She struggled to raise her sword. Edith was about to gain the upper hand.
“I have no Choice!!” Calypsosaid. She said as flames erupted from her blade.
Edith quickly transforms her entire skin into diamonds. The only skin that she had visible was her head and hands due to her uniform. However, Cole immediately noticed the difference from her previous diamond form.
“I see you integrate a neural path too. I like the new slight blue color! I see you Sis!” Cole shouted from the sideline.
Edith internally rolled her eyes but she did appreciate the compliment and support.
“It's a good thing I can transform in a moment's notice or my beautiful black skin would be melted right now. Even for a swordswoman you have to admit that was a low blow.” Edith spoke.
“I will not be seen as weak, especially from a low-born with no background. Consider this the start of the match.” Calypso hissed.
“We get it, you're an Aristocrat and I'm nothing but an orphan girl with no backing blaw blaw blaw could you be any more of a cliche.”
“This girl Integrated with her Neural Path? They just opened them up to all of them less than three days ago. It looks like my disciple isn't the only genius among this class of students. This group of friends should be looked after.” Marshall Solmon thought.

Calypsogot in a sword stance. “Between her and Kenan's superior ability it is almost like they were born to counter the Ogun flame ability. Kane only one because his ability allows him to get physically stronger. I should test the waters.” She thought.
Calypsosends out a Flame blade in the form of a crescent moon at Edith with a swipe of her Ignis Fang. Edith meets it with her sword beaker and dispearces the technique.
“Normally even after dispearcing the techniques the flames are still hot enough to avoid. But with her being made out of literal diamond they might as well be little sparks.” Calypso thinks. She then sends three more Flame blades back to back to confirm her suspensions.
The flame blade disperces but if Villana wasn’t mistaken it almost seems like Edith diamond had a slight glow to it whenever she interacted with the flame.
“Are you just going to stay there on defense and let me attack you? Is this how all swordbreaker users fight?” Calypsoprovoked
Edith smirked. “That bold of you to say whenever your little flames haven’t left a mark on me yet. Is this what Sword summoners are capable of?” Edith shot back.
Calypso's face tightened at those words. Since she could remember she wanted to be a weapon summoner, especially one that was a sword. Those who have an ability to summon a weapon are said to be chosen by God to wield there specific weapon.
“I don’t care even if I am a pawn in this little scam she's trying to play against the family. I don't care that my brother is love struck about a girl who hasn't given him the time of day. I want to beat her.” Edith said under her breath.
She holds her Ignis flame out in front of her and whispers “Synchronize” the flames from her blade start to dance around her body until it leaves an aura like glow around her.
“Calypso !!” Kane yells at his sister.
“Sorry little brother I’ll pay you back somehow” She says without turning around.
“What happened? What did she do?” Kyron asked
“This is the only move that she has that's a sure fire way to beat me.”
“Beat you even when you're fully empowered?” Kyron asked.
“No, this is the move she uses whenever I'm already passed 100% maximum power and using the burning fist.”
Kyron's mouth dropped. “You're saying she's stronger than you?”
“Of Course not! Well I'm not sure to be honest but I do know this move is stronger than my burning fist.
Calypsojumps up into the air launching herself.
“Now this is more like it! I was afraid I wasn't going to get a real fight! Edith says. As her diamond form starts to glow.” Edith could feel the power coming from Calypsonot just Psionic Energy but one of pure martial arts talent.
While in the air wings made of Flame started to form on Calypso's back and the color of her blade went from ebony black to a dark red as her blade got hotter. She hovered in the air for three seconds before she raised her blade. “ Phoenix’s Descend!” She roared. As Red Crescent Flame descended towards Edith.
Edith Diamond's form is glowing so brightly that it became hard to look at her directly. She raises her sword breaker directly at her opponent in the sky. “Star Pearcher!” She shouts as a white blue beam escapes from the tip of her weapon.
The two techniques clash for a split second until the White beam of light breaks through the Crimson flame and even pierces through the center of Calypso 's chest. Her flames die out and he is quickly surrounded in golden light and teleported away.
Edith undos her diamond form and heads in Kane's direction. “Your sister will make a worthy rival, tell her I grant her that title as a swordswoman.After all, we are family after all.” she laughs walking away.
“You still have to defeat me before you can say that.” Yalissa said in a shaky voice.
Edith quickly transformed into her diamond form and pointed her sword breaker at Yalissa as it started to flow like it just did. “ I only aim at Calypso 's chest to not create bad blood between me and my family. Do you think I would do the same to a weak love rival?”
“Tell me Lady Oya. What is it that I need to hear?” Edith spoke with unwavering eyes.
Yalissa swallows hard. “Out of all of the people in the world it had to be the strongest Cadet at the academy that loved Kenan.” Strength and Power were the only things that mattered in this world. Yalissa knew what she had to do.
“I yield. . .” She said with tears in her eyes.
“As I thought,” Edith replied. She then turns back to Kane who oddly looks pleased with the outcome. “Just as my husband's sworn brother said. This is only the beginning of what's to come. You should never let a tiger catch his breath.” She then walks away with Cole right behind her as they leave the training room.
Kane had his fist clenched at the realization of everything that took place. While he may have won his match against Kenan. Calypsoand Apollo surely didn't. “Kenan has allied himself with the monsters of our generation. This can't be hidden from the Tribunal . Mother especially won't like this.” Kane began rubbing his temples in anticipation.
Kyron looked at his sister as he slowly approached her while she was sobbing. “Come on sis, let's get out of here.”.
She stops for a second to calm herself. She looks up and meets her brother's eyes. “I'm calling Mother.” Her eyes are bloodshot red and Kyron flinches back for a second. He never sent a look like that before on his sister.
Yalissa hovers in the air for a seconds as she wipe her tears away then wind blows around her and she flies off leaving a tornado behind her. Kyron waves his hand dispersing the technique. “This doesn't look good.” He turns to Kane. “Well congratulations I think, I thought your dream was dead but there's still a chance. A
nyways see you tomorrow I'm class bro. Kyron says disappearing with a gust of wind behind.
