Stella Vermillion vs Touka Toudou

Stella Vermillion vs Tohka Todo is a mock battle between Stella and Tohka during training for the sword art festival.

Prologue
After the time of the selection tournament, the students of Hagun Academy, had left for summer vacation except those who had gotten a place in the seven sword art festival. The hagun seven sword art participants had all went to a ten day training camp in Kyomon's academy lodge, as Kurono did not trust the security in Okutama.

During the training camp Stella had challenged one of the volunteer coaches to a match. The volunteer coach was Tohka Todo, Raikiri.

Battle
Stella and Tohka's blades clashed with each other, as Stella was using her full powers against Tohka. However, Tohka used the clash to parry Stella's wrist, in order to cause Stella to lean over. Tohka then try to strike her with her blade, but Stella was able to dodge it, only slightly. There was a small gap between them as Tohka sheathed her blade into Narukami, in order to activate Raikiri. Stella had planned this situation, and backed up immediately in order to avoid Raikiri's activation, however Tohka did not use Raikiri instead she kept her blade sheathed, while looking intensely at Stella.

Stella backed up to ten meters and covered her device in her flames. Stella cried Dragon fang as her fire took on the form of a dragon extending from her device, to attack Tohka. Tohka was able to side step the dragon's first attack and used Raikiri on it as the dragon had come back to for another bite. Tohka had fallen into Stella's trap and Stella had taken advantage as Stella had quickly rushed Tohka, who was still using Raikiri, to attack her with all her might.

Tohka, however, was able to stop Stella's attack, having used Raikiri's momentum to twist her body and use the attack twice to hit Stella's abdomen. Illusion form was on as Stella had fallen to her knees, Tohka then stabbed Stella in back of the neck, while her sword was in illusion form, effectively ending the match.

Epilogue
Stella had told Tohka that she didn't know Tohka had such a technique to which Tohka replied that it was the first time she had actually used it in battle. She told Stella that now that she was fighting on the national level her opponents will use her own weaknesses as ruthlessly as she would, telling Stella she still had a long way to go, frustrating Stella. Stella then decides before the training camp ends she will have a winning record against Tohka.
