"Luo Zhen's words left Ikki and Stella silent at the same time.
Because both of them knew very well that Luo Zhen was speaking the truth.
Todo Touka's "Raikiri" was so famous that its reputation had even spread overseas and was widely known throughout KOK. That was why she had been specially recruited and permitted to participate in special operations organized by KOK despite being a student.
That renowned family blade was known and marveled at by many people not only among the student knights, but even among the A-rank members of KOK.
Ikki and Stella had certainly grown much stronger, and as Luo Zhen had said, they might already surpass Todo Touka in terms of strength. However, when facing the sword of the undefeated "Raikiri," the possibility of defeat was indeed quite high if they did not give it their all and remain completely focused.
