Ikki Kurogane vs Touka Toudou: Rematch

Ikki Kurogane vs Touka Toudou: Rematch is a fight between the Hagun Academy students, Ikki Kurogane and Touka Toudou. It takes place prior to the finals of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

Prologue
Having now defeated the Hagure Sisters, Byakuya Jougasaki, Momiji Asagi and Renji Kaga, Ikki now faces Touka Toudou, a fellow Hagun Academy student. Ikki and Touka previously faced each other in the finals of the selection matches, where Ikki defeated Touka with a single slash. Though Ikki has already had multiple battles, he is still in good condition and ready to face Touka, who has improved from their previous encounter.

Battle
As the match starts, Touka immediately uses her Noble Art, Raiou, launching multiple lighting attacks at Ikki. Ikki easily starts dodging the attacks, but Touka keeps on shooting more of her lightning slashes. Yudai Moroboshi, who is watching the match, notes that Touka has figured out that Ikki can't use Edelweiss's technique when making sudden stops and directional changes, which is why she is continually launching attacks, which put a load on Ikki's body. This should result to Ikki getting hit eventually hit. However, Ikki manages to avoid the attacks more easily, by running through the gaps below the attacks. Ikki then rushes towards Touka, and attacks her extremely fast, forcing her to use her signature move, Raikiri, to simply force him back for a few moments.

Ikki and Touka then clash, exchanging multiple slashes. Although Ikki is extremely skilled, Touka manages to counter him fairly well. Ikki then manages to throw Touka off balance, planning on using that moment to cut her and win the match. However, when Ikki attempts to attack Touka, his strike is blocked by her, despite that Ikki should be faster than Touka. As their swords are touching each other, Touka delivers an electric attack through them, zapping Ikki and immobilizing him for a moment. Touka attempts to use this opportunity to attack Ikki, but Ikki uses his body control to manipulate his heart muscle and neurotransmission to quickly recover from the electric shock, allowing him to dodge Touka's attack. They then continue their sword duel. Although Ikki should be able to break through Touka's swordsmanship with his faster attacks, Touka is managing to push him back, her slashes having somehow become faster. This increase in speed is due to Touka's new Noble Art, Inazuma, which allows Touka to return her blade into her scabbard, using electromagnetic propulsion and repulsion present in the magnetic field created by the technique itself. This technique allows Touka to block Ikki's naturally faster attacks, while also delivering faster attacks of her own. However, this technique puts a heavy load on her wrist, causing it to be able to only be only used sparingly to disrupt the opponents rhythm. Touka then launches a thrust, that actually pushes Ikki back even further, surprising both Shizuku Kurogane and Yudai. Yudai himself notes that Touka is far stronger than when he faced him the semifinals of the 61st Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

Touka continues to push Ikki back until he stumbles on the part of the arena that was previously broken by Renji Kaga's attack. He gets hit by another electric shock, which paralyzes him. Touka then decides to use her Raikiri to finish the battle but is unable to return her sword to its sheath, due to a rock being stuck inside the sheath. This is actually Ikki's plan, who kicked a broken piece of the arena into Touka's sheath. Ikki uses this opportunity to cut Touka's throat with his Device's Illusionary Form, causing Touka to crumble down, and lose the match.

Epilogue
Touka is surprised by Ikki coming up with such a unique way of overcoming Raikiri, being impressed by his creativeness. She thanks Ikki, as she was able to learn from him. Ikki also thanks Touka for fighting him. They are though interrupted by Yudai, who now challenges Ikki into a mock battle.
