[Clang!]
[Clang!]
In the dim green alternate dimension.
The constant clanging of metal rang out from a patch of lawn aboard Noah.
A blue-green afterimage and an orange-red afterimage crisscrossed the field, locked in an endless fierce battle.
At the same time.
Mikasa and Akame stood at opposite ends outside the field, their eyes tightly following the two rapidly darting afterimages.
Both wore extremely serious expressions.
