Ichika did not allow Takuya to get past her and chase Kiyotaka. No matter how hard the fourth generation prodigy tried, his equal rival blocked the path. They had yet to throw fists at each other, most likely because Takuya still had a caring side towards Ichika, though the brown haired boy wouldn't readily admit it.
"Ichika... Move out of the way!" Takuya demanded, snarling at the girl he once considered a partner. "I'll make Ayanokouji regret not finishing this fight or letting me kill him!!!"
"No! If you're going to insist on chasing after Ayanokouji-senpai no matter what, then I'll stop you before you get to him. If I have to fight you, then so be it!" Ichika told him, still blocking his path.
"Don't make me laugh. We've fought many times back in the White Room. We drew quite a lot in competitions throughout the curriculum, and you did win a few of them. But when it came to physical fights, you've never beaten me before, not even once. What makes you think you can do it today?"
"Maybe I've never beaten you at anything by force before. But that doesn't mean I can't now. For myself, and Ayanokouji-senpai, I'll just have to try and defeat you."
Ichika readied herself for a fight she knew was coming. The two had fought many times in the White Room, whether it was physical fights or just in competitions through the curriculum. Many of their competitions ended either one of the two winning, or a draw in most others. But Ichika could never outdo Takuya when martial arts, street fights or any other physical fighting ability was involved, at least the day after they witnessed Kiyotaka's true abilities. She always came below Takuya in that regard and she knew that outcome even today wouldn't change.
But she couldn't let that fact discourage her from what she knew she needed to do.
Takuya scoffed. "I knew you were devoted to Ayanokouji, but I didn't realize it was to such a stupid degree. Well whatever. There's no point in you being alive any longer, so just die already!"
She hadn't noticed it earlier, but the large knife that Kiyotaka had been using earlier on was near Takuya's feet. He picked it up and charged towards her with murderous intent. All Ichika could do was step back to dodge, unwilling to fight back for the moment. However, she didn't keep much of a distance, in case Takuya tried to run past her to chase after Kiyotaka.
The good thing was his mind was clouded and all focus on chasing after his one enemy had all but disappeared, replaced with killing the one person he thought he could trust. That meant Ichika achieved her goal, but now she had a challenge of both surviving and disarming Takuya.
Were this any normal criminal trying to stab Ichika, the task of disarming would be easy. However, her opponent was Yagami Takuya, her biggest rival and equal in the White Room. Disarming him, even with the tactics that they learnt, was not going to be an easy task.
