The Real Ace

That morning the Colosseum was a huge crowd. How not, the schedule of the match shows that the fight between aces will start that day. The ace of the attacking hall was Iko, the disciple of the commander of the attacking hall himself. Then the one who became his opponent was Iris who was considered the ace of the hall of holy knights.

Both of them were gold generation people in the military section, and not only that, both of them were also equally undefeated since this tournament began. In terms of strength and fighting technique it will be difficult to determine who will win this match, but that is what is interesting. Especially for gamblers, they really like to bet on uncertain things like this.

Iris is as strong as you are, most of what you have shown in previous matches. It will be impossible for you to defeat me.

“Iko, you are indeed strong enough for a child your age. But you shouldn't show such a face.” It was Kohei who was reprimanding Iko. Feeling confident is a good thing, but if it creates a sense of arrogance, you'd better avoid it.

“What do you mean deputy commander? Lest you think that I will be defeated by this girl named Iris. Come on.. it's impossible isn't it?” With his arrogance he said that in front of Kohei. But Kohei wouldn't budge with just such a boring expression.

He did bear the title of deputy commander, but the biggest strength of the attacking hall was Kohei himself. “Hmm, whatever you say Iko, but this time there will be someone who will completely destroy you in the tournament.”

“Hoi hoi, it scares lo deputy commander. Don't say anything like that, or maybe you really want my defeat? Then later the ranking of the attacking hall can go down lo.” How disrespectful Iko was when speaking to his own vice-commander. Not only did he interrupt her words, he even said something very far-fetched.

Kohei just smiled at the words, and he began to take his seat. “Remember my warning earlier Iko, otherwise you will be completely destroyed.” Devastated, there was no way anyone could destroy him, that was what Iko thought at that moment.

Not long after, the commentator began to announce for today's match. “Good morning my brothers all, may you have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Of course that's for sure, two aces will compete today!” cheers for the sake of cheers continued to be performed by the audience, the commentator continued his role.

“Then it is no longer necessary to linger, let us welcome the two mainstay participants who competed today. From the east corner, 27 wins and never lost, ace from the attacking hall, Iko!” After being summoned, Iko went straight into the arena and waved his hand at the spectators.

“Then do not forget at the west corner, the ace of the hall of holy knights, 25 times the victory and has never been defeated. Let's welcome, miss Iris!” after a while after being summoned, Iris had not come out yet. That raises a variety of questions for both the jury and the audience.

Huh, don't tell me that you're afraid of losing so avoid this match. Iko bragged herself in heart. “Sorry ladies and gentlemen, it looks like there's a turnout for the west corner—sang commentators are heard debating something—Ehmm, apparently because the injury from the last match of Miss Iris has not healed completely, the hall of holy knights filed for a substitution of participants for the match this time.

Hoi hoi hoi, what is this. Is Iris that scared to fight me? Huh, it would be very boring to fight a croco in a match. The loud mik voice, the commentator continued his task.

To the tournament participants from the west corner, let's welcome, Luna Luminaries. This participant is only the first time to appear in this tournament, victory and defeat 0.”

Hoi what hall of holy knights is really this severe. Ah, what can I do, I'll finish this with a pat. Luna entered the arena, the aura emanating from her made Iko a little enchanted.

The referee told them to prepare. “Hey miss, I will be merciful to you. So you better just give up on this match. Besides it's so unpleasant to see a girl as beautiful as you have to get hurt.”

“Heeh, you are so kind. But it doesn't matter, I'll accompany you to the end. Or maybe you're afraid of a girl like me?” Those words suddenly made Iko start to anger her. “Hah, scared? Don't joke with me. Then according to your wishes I will destroy you with all my abilities!”

Luna gave a sharp smile hearing her reaction, it made her look extremely cold. “Kukuku, that's exactly what I want right now.” Iko had run out of patience, she drew her sword and put up the horses. On the other hand, Luna looked very calm. His sword still had not been retracted, but his position seemed to have no gaps at all.

“You! Huh, I didn't think you could just avoid it. Looks like you have a little ability huh.” His emotions were constantly ignited by Luna. He continued to attack Luna with all his abilities. From the skills, sword techniques, and all the fighting abilities issued by Iko managed to be easily held back by Luna.

Hoi hoi, why do I have to exert all my abilities just to deal with this girl. He had never even entered this tournament once, right? How could he withstand all my attacks that were in the top 5 so easily?

“You, just thought why must you exert all your abilities just to fight me, right?” Iko flinched hearing that. “You? B-how can it?” he was completely panicked this time around, the one before him was truly something different from all the opponents he had faced before.

“It was so easy, wasn't it? Your instincts feel fear for the difference in strength we have. Did this answer your question?” Luna casually said that, while the others were astonished to see Iko the hero had to work hard to fight Luna.

“Hoi this girl, who is she? Why he impressed so strong.” A debate began to take place in the audience. Many of those who were wondering because they did not know Luna at all, on the other hand the people who bet for Iko also started to panic for the losses they would get.

“Huh, scared? What are you talking about, I never felt fear—Before Iko finished talking Luna started interrupting her. “Your body shakes, your chest feels tight, ears start buzzing, and your heart rate is increasing. If that's not fear, then what do you call it?”—Be quiet! Shut the fuck up, I've never been scared. Especially in front of a girl like you!”

With all his willpower, Iko made a direct attack on Luna. But that is just a futile right. Attacking rashly before exhausting the opponent's strength would only make him counterattacked. As a result Luna attacked Iko with her own technique to make her bounce so far away.

“Arrgghh. How can?” Iko really did not understand what was happening to herself, which she knew Luna was just trying to fend off her attack, that was all. “Didn't I tell you, that's the difference in strength between us. If you don't believe it then, I'll show you a little seriousness.”

Luna took the horses and began chanting a spell. His sword began to light up as a holy light coated it. “I offer a prayer to God. Please give me the power of a holy spirit. Please listen to my request! Eliminate everything! Holly Slash!”

A slash with a very strong crushing power released Luna towards Iko. His trembling body made him accidentally release his weapon and then collapse on the spot. Such great spiritual power was contained in Luna's attack, a combination of skill and high-level holy magic, it was an impossible thing to resist and avoid by Iko.

“Hahaha, no one has ever said that there is a monster like this that will take part in the lo— match as soon as he starts to remember the words of Kohei. That's when he realized what the real meaning of the words of his deputy commander—Ah, so yes.” Her tears began to come out as she was overwhelmed with despair. He also regretted, had he not been so arrogant before Luna, perhaps he would not have ended up like that.

As Luna's attack almost reached Iko's body, a barrier suddenly appeared and made Luna's attack explode there. “Tough to get there, miss. For this match you are the winner.” The figure was Kohei, the deputy commander of the front attack hall. He saw that the attack could have killed Iko easily, but judging from the fight earlier, Luna had indeed completely restrained herself against Iko.

“Ma-sorry, I'm sorry deputy commander. It is my fault, I underestimated my opponent too much.” This time he was deeply sorry and prostrated himself to apologize to Kohei. His messy face looks really bad, but maybe this will be a good start to his development. “Register Iko! If your opponent is Iris, maybe you can beat him.

But if your opponent is that girl, you better give up your match. Even a true hero seed holder would not necessarily win against him. Besides you need to know, the ace of the hall of holy knights who is actually him, not Iris!” At that time, the entire area of the Coloseum suddenly became quiet because it accepted the fact.

The hero they had been supporting was defeated so easily, even on the other hand, Iris who was thought to be the ace of the hall of holy knights all this time was not the strongest there.

Luna walked towards the exit with her leisure, but in the middle of the journey she stopped for a moment. “Wasit, you can already announce the results right?” With words that broke the silence he left the arena.

“Match this time won by Luna Luminaries. Add 100 ranking points from the hall of holy knights!” with the announcement of the results of the match signifies that the match has finished, and as usual the cheers of the audience are so lively, although many things do not match the expectations that occur.

With Luna gone from the arena, Kohei also took Iko away from there when the match ended.
