Before the Final Trial

So this is the final trial.
I've put in a lot of preparation for today.
I even studied the latest tactic manuals I received from my former comrades in the Antares Mercenaries.
And lastly...
Gear check. All set.
Physical condition check. No issues.
I am completely ready for combat.
You are about to witness a battle executed to perfection.
You seem a little fired up.
Well, this is my first mission from you, Captain.
And... as I tried to follow your order, I realized something.
If I am indeed gifted in combat...
Then perhaps what matters is using that talent for something worthwhile.
It will serve as the first measure of whether I am worthy of that.
This trial, that is.
...
Captain? Is something on your mind?
Your forgetfulness... is it gone?
Huh?
You sound more composed... And your eyes look clearer somehow.
Is that so?
Perhaps it's the tension before battle.
Still... I don't entirely dislike this feeling.
Let's go, Captain.
To the final trial.
Are you ready?
The Star Savior Succession Trial, the [Journey].
The final trial shall—
W-wait! Just a moment, please...!
My sword is gone.
It was just here a moment ago, where could it be...?
It's strapped to your back...
...
...Oh.
Its final trial will now begin.
Your opponent will be [Gille, the Executor of Aldebaran].
[Dirac's Well] has begun projection.
