Perhaps their duel with Cassia lasted almost as long as their recent duel with Futaba. Despite Leila successfully closing the distance and depriving her opponent of the advantage, she held her ground confidently. Even when, as it seemed, the time mage found a gap in her opponent's defense and was about to end this stage of the tournament with her victory, the opponent caught a favorable moment to end the duel a little earlier, but in her favor. Unpleasant. Very unpleasant, but there was nothing to be done. Only to make every effort so that Cassia wouldn't outpace her in the test as well. Again.
— I should have guessed that the same strategy wouldn't work twice in a row, — the swordswoman smirked. — Congratulations on the victory.
