Alissa immediately charged at Erik as soon as she summoned her sword. Erik did the same once his mana entirely surrounded his arms. He had no plan of underestimating his opponent, so he went all out as soon as the match started.
In the meantime, Erik thought to himself, <Analysis,> almost instantly, a blue and white screen materialized before him, occupying a little portion of his peripheral vision.

--------------------------------------
Erik was able to assess his opponent's power level because the biological supercomputer granted him the analysis power. Alissa was clearly inferior to Erik, but her swordsmanship was very refined. He could clearly understand that by observing how she held the sword.
As he observed the screen, Alissa came to him vertically slashing her claymore down, clearly having the reach advantage. She attempted to strike Erik on the shoulder by bringing the blade to his right side. The young woman wanted to cause as much damage as possible in the shortest amount of time. The reason was that Alissa was among the students who saw Erik perform his entry tests, and she knew the young man was much stronger than her in terms of physical might.
Despite her being a dangerous move, who could potentially kill her opponent, she knew that if she didn't give her all, she would lose the fight and drop her rank.
Allison was quick, and judging by the move, she was, for sure, a fantastic fighter. Since Erik started training with Master Nieminen, he started appreciating more weapon-conjuring brain crystals as he knew that the amount of exercise required to effectively wield them was no joke. Besides, there was a sort of elegance in sword training, which was obviously exuded by the young woman too.
However, Erik was no stranger to fighting and training and immediately understood what the young woman was trying to do. He evaded the strike and counterattacked with a move of his own now that Alissa was open.
Erik punched with all his strength at the young woman. However, her reflexes were good enough to see the attack, and her strength was barely enough to parry the attack with her sword.
Allison barely managed to resist the attack. It was basically a punch with a sort of piercing power, and that was all thanks to Erik's mana, which created a semi-weapon out of his arms. As a result, her hands suffered a little pain, almost forcing her to drop her sword.
However, Erik wasn't done because he punched again at the woman, who could only avoid the attack. She tilted her head slightly, making the young man miss his target. She then lifted her sword with great speed and tried to stab at the young man from close quarters.
Erik, sensing the danger, immediately tilted to the side. However, he was too close, and avoiding the move was difficult. At that moment, Erik understood how better a weapon was compared to martial art fighting and how important it was to learn the flyssa.
His reach was significantly shorter than his opponent's, and Erik could avoid her swings only because of his stats. Erik would have already lost if it wasn't for the unfair advantages brought by the biological supercomputer.
However, the awakener took his opportunity to kick at the young woman. He hit her on the side, making her bend slightly for a second. The kick was powerful and sent Alissa out of balance.
The girl, though, now had an idea about the person she was battling against: someone who was physically strong and knew how to use his body effectively. She could see inexperience inside of him, but his body more than made up for it in a way she couldn't overcome.
Even Erik, though, started to appreciate the young woman's skill. As soon as she regained her posture, she slashed again at the young man. Erik jumped back several meters, avoiding the attack. However, Alissa was relentless and started chasing Erik around the room.
She attacked him like a beast while keeping up with his movements. The young woman kept slashing the empty air as she chased Erik, who wasn't having a hard time fighting against her, thanks to his stats. Again, the system gave him the strength to fight such opponents.
In fact, Allisa was fast, very fast, even faster than most people her age. This made the boy realize that maybe the best way to win against such opponents was to stay away from their range until they ran out of stamina or knock her out at the right moment.
As Erik kept thinking about how to win against the girl, he looked up and saw his adversary charging toward him, but he didn't panic as when he did with Zakir. Since he intensified his training, the young man learned a lot about combat. He became aware of how to effectively protect himself against such kinds of attacks.
After a few seconds, Allisa was on him, and she attempted to slash at Erik once more. However, the awakener wasn't an easy target.
He tilted again to the side several times, avoiding multiple slashes, and finally, he could free himself from the young woman's assault.
It was then that Erik slashed at her with his arm creating a wound on her chest and exposing part of her breast. However, Erik wasn't a pervert; he knew that something like this was bound to happen sooner or later and that this actually happened to a lot of people.
Though, there was something that made the young man's heart skip a beat. It was the smell of blood that started spreading through the room as he slashed at his opponent.
He felt it again, that thrill inside him, that strange feeling he got whenever he fought or killed another being. A sensation he couldn't understand nor explain. Alissa wasn't someone he should kill. However, his eyes revealed nothing, neither fear, anger, sadness... Nothing. Just bloodlust. The young man tried to suppress that feeling, and with much difficulty, he could do so.
However, Alissa saw the look in his eyes and took a defensive stance. The fight for her became much more complicated, the wound was severe, and she was bleeding profusely. Besides, she was also a little tired due to the chase and the wild swinging she made.
Now that things were like that, Erik had a moment of respite. Alissa could no longer attack him so ruthlessly, and she could try and go into attack.
This time, Erik moved forward, Alissa tried to escape the young man, but he was faster, and his stride was longer than hers. The young woman slashed again, trying to keep Erik at bay. However, the awakener avoided the attack and quickly punched the girl, creating a hole in her right shoulder.
Alissa was taken by surprise by the move. It was unavoidable, and she was unable to defend herself.
"It's over," the healer said. It was clear who the strongest of the two was. However, the man was a little bit bittersweet since it was clear that Erik lacked a lot in terms of fighting prowess. He also came out of that fight without a scratch, so he wasn't that bad.
The young woman knew that things were taking an ugly turn; however, there wasn't much she could do at that point. Her chest wound was bleeding, and she had trouble raising her sword.
"Surrender," Erik said.
The young woman lowered her gaze, and after having thought about it for a couple of seconds, she said, "I surrender."
