Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

26. Identities

Almost 2 hours have passed since the training began.

Saft is currently at a distance of 70 km. 30 Km away he will reach the finish line and get a ticket for dinner together.

But it's not as easy as it looks.

The hot weather and the incredible distance crazy and coupled with unequal lakeside areas make this exercise more difficult.

Sweat flowing profusely even Saft can squeeze it like it was washed out. His legs were even hard to move and shouted to tell him to rest.

But she can't give up because thanks to her 11 fellow GSPFL classmates she has hitherto not seen Kuro running behind her.

Saft is a magician who is known to have the stamina and fastest running speed in grades 1-2 without using magic, that's why Knox relies on him and therefore he is able to run balanced when before devising a plan to stop Kuro.

But he also reached his limit.

"H.huh....huh....."

He fell down and felt his strength had drained away. His legs even trembled because he did not want to be forced to run anymore.

He also felt thirsty, which was why he picked up the bottle of drink that was in his pocket. But he realized that his drink was almost finished because he felt light when he took it.

With no other choice, he drained all the remaining water in one gulp.

But the thirst has not disappeared. That was when he glanced at the clear-looking lake water.

Although it looked clear, he would have a stomachache if he drank the lake water. That would be troublesome.

So he only had one choice.

"I think I should hold my thirst. The third post is already visible."

He glanced at the small tent that was 5 km away on the training track. There he can get a fresh drink and can rest for a while.

But when he tried to get up, his legs were heavy.

"Ughhhh...."

He took out all his strength to force his legs to move. His face even flushed.

"You don't have to be too hard on yourself. If I'm thirsty, I have a drink."

From the side, a bottle of drink was placed right on his cheek. He felt a refreshing chill as the bottle touched him.

So he unhesitatingly accepted with his right hand.

"Ah. thank you, Kuro."

Saft just opened the bottle and sipped the water in the bottle.

He finished half the bottle in an instant. He was really thirsty.

"...?!.. Brffff....."

And when he realized who was the one who gave him the bottle of drink, he immediately scattered it like a water dragon.

Argos . Cough ..

Coupled with the pain of choking.

"Hey... You drink slowly, see the consequences, you choke right?"

Kuro even patted Saft on the back to make it better.

"Ku-Kuro why are you ad- ?!"

Saft widened his eyes as he looked at Kuro who was covered in sharp object scratches and both of his hands were bleeding. His face was also scratched until it bled.

He did not expect Kuro to be able to pass 11 men in class 1-2 with injuries that were not too severe. His face even looked fresh, yet he was panting heavily like Saft.

"So you beat them all?"

Saft was curious, which was why he asked at once to be sure.

"You could say so. Well thanks to you exposing your abilities, I now know all your weaknesses.he he.."

".........."

Saft just stung. He had not expected to hear that from Kuro's mouth, but if that was true, they now had no chance of winning against Kuro.

This is a risk in the fight.

If too much shows strength, then the enemy will easily find weakness and use it to counterattack.

But what surprised Saft even more was Kuro's ability to analyze the enemy's abilities, which was why it was only natural that he could survive the sacred magic art with minor injuries.

Witches or not, being able to escape them all alone proves that Kuro is undoubtedly on a different level to them.

Unexpectedly, the one who was thought to be the weakest in the class was a wolf with lamb fur.

"Why are you dumb?"

"No, I was just thinking how could you do that?"

Hearing that Kuro just smiled.

"I'm just more experienced fighting than you guys. And all my opponents are tougher than all of you, so if you want to win from me at least you should be on the same level as Laila or higher."

"You must be kidding me.."

"Of course not. You must once travel the world like me to realize that you are weaker than you think. Then you will also meet a stronger person. Come on, I'm leaving first, you know you can't break your promise.he he"

"..............."

With a sly smile, Kuro left the fallen Saft to the ground.

Saft had given up on learning that his efforts and all the men of class 1-2 were in vain.

".........."

He stared at the clear sky that was adorned with clouds blown by the wind. He put his hand to block his eyes from the sunlight.

Fortunately, the wind was cool enough that he did not feel hot.

It was then that he remembered what Knox had said while putting together the plan.

[Kuro is a non-magician who has the equivalent power of a mage, but if he was a mage, he would get what rank?]

They now know the answer to that question.

If it was a magician, maybe Kuro would get an M rank, that is, a Monster.

"Haaa.. Around the world..? Maybe when will I do it.."

Saft smiled and finally closed his eyes to rest.

30 Minutes later Kuro reached the finish line and there he found Otome playing her phone under a tree.

He must have been looking at the image of his student who was training.

Kuro could only sigh and approach towards Otome.

Noticing Kuro approaching, Otome turned her head towards Kuro and smiled.

"2 hours 37 minutes, good time, .. for the first try."

But Kuro's time will be faster if he doesn't fight.

"Well.."

After greeting Otome, Kuro went towards the table where the goods were placed. He didn't want to take his sword, but he took the training load, more precisely the metal in the training load.

The metal is hexagon-shaped 10 cm long. It was a custom-made iron and heavier than it looked.

And from that metal, Kuro took a 10 cm long needle neatly attached to each side. There were 6 needles attached to each metal, and he only took two, then placed them again into the bag used to put the metal.

Yep. Metal weight training Kuro is actually also a weapon, more precisely a secret weapon. The metal can even be combined into a stick.

After that, he returned closer to Otome.

"Hmm.. where is the barbeque equipment I told you to prepare?"

"Still on the way, do you know there are a lot of unreliable people here, but why did you tell me to prepare barbeque equipment?"

"Of course, to prepare lunch, you're really cruel for not preparing food at the break post."

Kuro complained. This was because he had not had time to eat breakfast and because of fighting, his hunger was becoming more and more so.

"....It was also as an exercise, after all if they wanted to eat they had to finish this exercise first."

"Ha.... Never mind, I'm so hungry, I'd better cook with wood. Otome, can you get some firewood?"

"There's a dead tree, cut it down yourself."

Kuro turned his head in the direction Otome pointed at. Indeed he saw a dead and dry tree as high as 7 meters.

"Oh. I didn't realize it. All right, I think it's time to fish."

"....?"

Otome didn't really understand because Kuro didn't have any fishing gear at all and there were only large needles in both hands. So how does he fish with needles?

At the same time Kuro jumped into the middle of the lake at an altitude of 10 meters. Of course he fell due to gravity, but before falling into the lake, he kicked the air and jumped 50 meters high.

He floated in the air and looked down at the lake.

He saw many fish shadows in the lake. It was the numerous Rellfish hordes in this lake.

"?!"

Upon seeing his target, he spun in the air for acceleration. He then threw two needles into the lake at high speed towards the fish he was targeting.

Blup. Two needles went into the water like a thin bullet into the water.

After which, he returned to the edge of the lake by kicking the air and landed to the side of Otome.

After a while, two fish were floating above the lake with a needle stuck in their head.

"Ottom."

"Yes yes...."

With his face parched, Otome created two chains made of mana and controlled those chains to pick up the fish in the middle of the lake.

This is only a small part of Otome's ability which is an experienced magician and a teacher.

"Ugh..."

But he had a little trouble because the fish load of 3 meters and 2 meters was quite heavy to pull.

That's when Kuro holds Otome's mana chain and pulls it with his right hand.

After a while, finally 2 fish reached the edge of the lake.

"ha... I didn't think you could hit the fish's brain even in the water, how sharp are your eyes? You're not using magic, are you?"

"Well, you know how sharp my eyes are."

"Geez.. Are you really human?"

Kuro just smiled and did not answer Otome's question. For him, the question did not need to be answered because Otome should already know the answer.

Then without a word, Kuro walked back to the table to retrieve his beloved sword.

Criiinngg...

The two bells on Kuro's sword rang every time he moved his sword.

Kuro then walked towards the dead tree. He intended to cut it down to become firewood.

"......."

Meanwhile, Otome only smiled bitterly as she recalled all the abilities Kuro had shown.

He managed to defeat his 11 students without using magic, but that was how it should be because of Kuro rank F. But not only that, Kuro was even able to see the Insectmera which was very small in size.

From there Kuro asks Otome to prepare barbeque equipment.

Of course Otome couldn't resist because Kuro could have said that Otome had Insectmera illegally. And more surprisingly, Kuro says something that should be his secret.

The secret of his true identity.

Otome doesn't want any trouble. So he had to obey Kuro's will.

For some reason, even though he was a teacher, he was blackmailed by his own students. Is the world crazy?

Kuro cut down the tree with his white sword. After that Kuro quickly cut the tree into 7 parts.

Each section is 1 meter long. Not only that, Kuro even split a large piece of wood with almost the exact same size.

After that, Kuro brought the entire wood to Otome's side and arranged it like a bonfire.

(She was even able to cut like that, it was fitting that Madam Electra told me to keep an eye on her.)

Otome broke out in cold sweat from seeing the horror of his student.

Not only is he strong, his sword ability is also incredible. More precise calculations Kuro has.

"What's wrong?"

Otome was astonished because Kuro was speechless and motionless.

It was at that moment that Kuro turned his head towards Otome with a lazy face.

"It's nothing, it's just that Otome can't fire element magic right? I can't believe you're useless when it comes to dealing with trivialities."

"Basar you are. Not polite. Even so, I am still your teacher."

Of course Otome was angry because it was rendered useless by Kuro, after all, Otome was a teacher and an older person.

Unfortunately Kuro only looked at Otome with a bored look and showed no sign that he respected Otome.

"But you're useless at times like this, right?"

"Uugg..."

Otome's face flushed red as she could not help but feel anger and shame.

Unwilling to be rendered useless, he took his cell phone and contacted the person he told him to bring barbeque equipment.

".........eh?"

But suddenly Kuro shook his head as a sign Otome did not need to do that.

"..?!"

Otome was startled by a small blue flash that struck the dry wood. The fire appeared and burned the dry wood quickly and enlarged.

After which, an even greater lightning came from the sky. The lightning did not produce an explosion and disappeared like lightning in general.

The lightning instead settled near the superior fire and formed a human body, precisely a girl.

"That's it.."

Otome widened her eyes as she looked at the girl who had emerged from the lightning.

Girl with pink hair shoulder and side pony. Blue hairpins in the form of flowers adorn her hair.

The girl was dressed in a red short skirt that made her entire white thigh visible. And she wears a thin pink shirt that matches her hair.

Not only that, the two F-cup-sized springy objects swung as the girl moved.

For those who saw this girl for the first time, that person would definitely think she was a sweet and sexy girl, but to Kuro and Otome, they only smiled bitterly upon seeing the girl.

"Ohh... What's it gonna take to come here"

"He he's...Of course I helped my dear Kuro light the fire. Besides I miss Kuro. Here I kiss.."

The pink-clad girl quickly ran towards Kuro with two arms forward and prepared to hug Kuro. Not to forget, two lips also prepared to kiss Kuro wholeheartedly.

Unfortunately Kuro immediately kicked the girl in full force into the middle of the lake.

"Well...."

The girl's body flew over the lake, but she was fine.

Then in the blink of an eye, he changed shape into a blue lightning and landed on Kuro's back.

The lightning once again changed shape into a girl and hugged Kuro from behind.

Munshu ..

Kuro can feel the chewy and warm sensation of the two F cup objects belonging to the girl, but she shows an uninterested face and just sighed deeply.

"Thank you for bringing the fire to life, but quickly going down. You know I can't cut a fish if you stick to my back."

"Fu fu, yes."

The girl complied with Kuro. He went down and stood beside Otome looking at Kuro who was preparing to cut the fish with his sword.

"............"

Meanwhile Otome only fell silent in silence when she saw the person she respected acting like a child while being near Kuro.

At the same time, Kuro raised the fish two meters up with his left hand. He had no trouble throwing it up and slashing the fish into small pieces in the blink of an eye. All that remains of the fish is the head, the inside and the tail.

"Old granny!"

Kuro turned his head to signal to the pink haired girl.

The girl smiled slightly and flicked her finger.

At that moment a thin blue light appeared and became a neatly cut fish mat.

After that, Kuro sheathed his sword as a sign that the task had been completed.

Then Kuro finally cooked the fish that had been cut by burning. Not only Kuro, the pink-haired girl also burned fish meat that had been pierced with wood.

"Otome join us, otherwise we run out of tablets!"

The girl smiled towards Otome with a sweet smile. She is sweet.

Unable to refuse the girl's orders, Otome joined in. Otome sat beside the girl while waiting for the fish to mature.

"Electra's head of school what's really going on here?"

Yep. The girl's identity is Electra Val Vilravitra. She was the principal of Kuryuu Academy and was a Paladin ranked magician. In other words, the girl was one of the 5 strongest magicians in the Houou empire.

She was actually 50 years old, she even had two grandchildren, but as she looked, she was still as young as 15 years old.

Not only his appearance, nature and way of speaking are also like 15 years, which is why Kuro calls him Grandma J*lang.

Despite that, Otome still respected him as a superior and an older person.

And that was why he felt astonished and confused when he saw Kuro's familiarity with Electra which was practically impossible considering that Kuro was only one of the students at Kuryuu Academy.

Or don't.

Otome actually realized that the two of them had a relationship, but it wasn't that familiar.

Otome was also shocked when she heard Kuro calling Electra impolite. But what surprised me more was that Electra didn't mind being called that way.

"What's going on? we're just having a fish-eating party."

"Mmmm...."

"That's why I told people to buy condiments at the market to make the barbeque more palatable. "

After losing his word, Otome finally knew why the person he was telling was long and slow.

And about Electra why you can know about barbeque equipment, this is because you need permission to bring property outside the school.

"Thank you." Kuro said "But you didn't come here just for a fish party, did you?"

"Fu fu's.."

Electra just smiled.

At the same time, the delicious aroma of fish is smelled as a sign of almost cooked fish. This is natural considering the fire is quite large and the pieces of fish are quite small.

"Before that, have you received a bonus from me?"

"Yet, Otome hasn't given it to me, has she?"

"............."

Otome fell silent and finally took out two pieces of paper from her pocket.

The paper was white in rectangular shape and had a magic circle pattern.

"So you knew from the beginning?"

Otome gave the two sheets of paper (tickets) to Kuro and Kuro received with his left hand and then kept them in his pocket.

"Yes, since the beginning of this exercise it was meant to stop me from trying to get my ticket. This is really annoying, but it's quite entertaining."

"Geh."

"Then what do you think?" ask Electra.

He was curious about Kuro's opinion on the strength of a 1-2 male class.

"disappointingly. If I give you a grade, maybe only 30 out of 100."

"Was it bad? .. Um. the fish is ripe fuhh.. fuhhh."

Electra unhesitatingly bites a fish that is slightly charred, but deliciously.

The same thing Kuro did because many pieces of fish meat are cooked.

"Yes. I gave a grade based on how much power I used to deal with them. .. But I was quite impressed with Jinn, Ishi, and Ash. ... One more, Knox. The four of them are quite troublesome."

"so apparently. But it's good practice so they know their weaknesses." Electra said while eating a few bites of meat, then she continued;

"And when they realize they are still weak, they will get stronger or even desperate."

"........."

Kuro only smiled faintly and continued to chew on the ripe fish. He even finished 3 large pieces of meat.

Meanwhile Otome was only speechless listening to the conversation of the two of them.

But when knowing Kuro only took out 30% of his ability, it was enough to shock Otome.

He even thought maybe Kuro was stronger than him.

"Ummm... What is your relationship?"

Unable to bear and confused, he finally asked what was weighing on his mind.

"We are lovers!"

"Eh?"

Electra's answer instantly made Otome freeze.

"Have no joke. Our relationship is just a boss and a guy like you. That'sallthatis. So don't listen to this grandma."

"Yuuu... Kuro wicked. Why do you always reject me?"

Although Electra's expression was like a sweet puppy, Kuro would never be fooled. After all he knew very well the nature of the Electra who was very cunning.

"Stop that. Disgusting to know."

"Yes..."

"I like other people, so don't dream."

"That's..."

The original nature of Electra out. He showed a vexed face like a girl who had been denied his love. But he was rejected by Kuro.

Although Electra's husband had long since died from murder, he should not have acted like a young man.

That was what Otome thought, but could it be her way of not feeling sad?

No one knows what Electra was thinking, but one thing is certain, when dealing with the Paladin, never trust her. Especially to Electra who is known to be super genius and cunning.

But of course not all paladins are like Electra.

"Then how did your relationship with that girl develop? You know you don't have much time left?"

Kuro only smiled, but his expression looked complicated.

"Come on, I don't know. And you should've known, so don't ask me anything that makes me angry."

"Fufu.it's your own fault for not trying to get close to her or ask her out. Once I did that, I knew the girl would definitely not turn down if you went on a date, unfortunately you trained with the twins instead. I don't understand what's in your head, if it continues like this, you'll never get her heart."

"Yes you're right, but maybe this is the best thing for him, but of course I will try first even if my time is not much anymore. Besides, isn't this why you gave me this ticket, is it?"

"Ha.. You've noticed it too. That's how Kuro I know. Yep. I'm giving you that ticket because maybe this is your last chance to get close to him before you go on a mission."

"..........?"

Otome doesn't really understand, but realizing the atmosphere is becoming serious and tense, Otome finally learns that Kuro is no ordinary boy.

He turned out to be Electra's man. And the relationship is more complicated than her.

It's worth it they look familiar and talk about complicated things.

Meanwhile, Kuro only looked a little moody when he heard Electra's remark.

He also realized that the mission this time was a little different than the usual mission.

"Geez, it seems you can never stop bothering others."

Kuro complained and looked unhappy.

"Fufu... "

Electra just smiled cunningly as she showed her true nature.
