Also, swinging a sword is as much, if not more important, to the Chiba's techniques than casting magic is. Having better magical aptitude (it is never mentioned that Toshi does between) isn't enough to make you a better magic swordsman, you need those swordsmanship skills too.

I wonder what's the SS about? There's really no indication of the plot. The only thing was when Leo met Ernst but Erika wasn't on the venue at that time. Another one was that Ersnt gifted Leo a CAD as a thank you. Really how Satroll connect that to the current plot?

@echizen Dude we discuss this a long time ago; magic battle no one can win against course 1 student. But Magic combat are different. Beside pretty sure it been said that Erika is the fastest in series. Thats already "canon". There are only handful of people who can defeat/par her in speed this includes Yakumo, Kazama and Yanagi which Tatsuya hasn't defeated once. So spec wise Erika has more advantage than Toshi Quote:

I am talking about magic combat. Right now Hanzo, Sawaki, Tomitsuka and Mikihiko are stronger than her. I said myself that she is the fastest character in the series, but speed is not everything. She excels at Personal Acceleration and her casting speed must be good at it but there is no indication that she is decent with other magics. Yakumo is the only one he didn't beat. He is acknowledged as the strongest member of the 101.

Edit: the only difference in course 1 and course 2 are how good they are in calculation; complexity and I forgot the other criteria. Well you know it doesn't even say how powerfull their magic are.

I'm getting the feeling that Erika is already acquainted with them though going by Miki knowing that Ernst is Anna's cousin and that convo with Tatsuya happened before Leo's argument with Ernst and Erika missing the "tea party"... |

Yeah; you think they want Erika back? I can't really see Satroll how is he gonna connect the SS to the whole series. Unless he wants Erika to acts as villain; but she too weak for Tatsuya's opponent. Maybe another damsel in distress kinda thing?

As for the future, I don't see Erika in a damsel in distress role or as an antagonist for Tatsuya (despite them butting heads once in a while). I think the SS is mostly to develop Erika and Leo (and the Rosen), which have been lacking over year 2 arcs. There might even be flashbacks, the Miki's 9sc SS is 90% flashbacks (to his past pre first high). As for the rest of the plot, the Rosen might have a role to play later on. For all we know, the next enemy is going to be from one of the EU instead of the USNA. Last edited by azarhal; 2016-03-14 at 15:36. |

By the way, Erika's evaluation of Hanzo's combat abilities are interesting: she evaluated Leo to have superior potential as a combat infantry magician than him... |

The after the "duel" start with Tatsuya giving her an handkerchief to clean up her tears. She thanks him and start to complain. First, she said he would have cut his hand if it had been a real sword. Second, she pointed out the way too early kick. After that she asked if her baka-aniki was strong and seemed content with Tatsuya's praise of her brother. When Tatsuya leaves the Chiba house, if I understand the raw properly (I'm not 100% sure of the interpretation), he tells Yakumo that he doesn't understand why she let herself be beaten/hit on purpose. |
