Revenge of the Son of the Nobles
Chapter 15: The Winner
The two people now facing off on top of the arena were Ferdinand Notaras Chevallaire and Brenda Derrantes, a gold badge student. She was a schoolgirl but wore a student uniform design, but thanks to her long hair tied back, everyone could tell she was a woman.
"I actually feel a little uncomfortable if I have to hurt a lady who ... Gracefully? Hm ... Whatever, the point is I don't like hurting women." Brenda's forehead immediately shriveled after hearing Ferdinand's words that seemed like innuendo, Ferdinand chuckled at his provocation on target.
"I know that if you're a very talented person, I've heard your name so often." Brenda put up a position ready to fight, she used a wooden Polearm prepared by the academy to train for the match. "Geez, so popular people are a little tiring." Ferdinand shook his head while chuckling.
After that, Ferdinand took out a wooden sword with the Arming Sword model, he put up fighting horses, they were both ready to smash.
The instructor who became the referee began to give warnings. "Ready ...." Brenda and Ferdinand were ready with their horses.
"START!"
Ferdinand charged towards Brenda with a swift motion and slashed his sword at Brenda's head, but Brenda could still dodge it while thrusting her Polearm towards Ferdinand to keep her distance. The Arming Sword was a not-so-long sword, while Ferdinand had to remain wary of Brenda's Polearm. "Sial, it should use the Longsword as usual." Ferdinand took two steps back, but quickly, he again launched a puncture attack, Brenda turned the Polearm in her hand and with a single sharp move, she sent a stab into Ferdinand's shoulder, he made her scream in pain and back down.
"So there's a Vasilius who lost, now another one lost, is your ability really only this way?" Brenda finally had a chance to avenge Ferdinand's provocation, but it seemed that Ferdinand was completely unaffected by the provocation.
"Well, I admit that if I underestimated you too much, if I knew you were such a troublesome opponent, I should have used the Longsword instead." Ferdinand said that while throwing away his sword, Brenda saw that as a form of Ferdinand's despair, she immediately lunged forward at full speed towards Ferdinand. A silhouette of golden armor appeared on Brenda's body, although the form of armor was transparent, but everyone could see it clearly. Inevitably it makes the furore again break out in the training area.
"But unfortunately, swords aren't my only skill." Brenda was stunned as she saw her Polearm pierce through Ferdinand's body as if his body was just an empty wind. With a triumphant grin, Ferdinand pointed his finger which emitted a bluish dim light right at Brenda's head.
- BANG
Brenda collapsed onto the floor of the arena with blood pouring from her head, Ferdinand's magic attack hitting Brenda's forehead with a bang. Some of the students frantically shouted at the medical team, they thought Brenda died from Ferdinand's attack just now, but before the medical team went up to the arena, a student approached Brenda whose head was covered in blood.
The student touched Brenda's head slowly, then a bluish dim light enveloped her hand that touched Brenda's head. A few seconds later, the blood coming from Brenda's head stopped right after the medical team arrived at the arena. The medical team stated there were no injuries at all in Brenda's body, all the disciples exclaimed in astonishment. Because after seeing the strength of four people with fighting types, they again saw another type of strength that was no less awesome. That student could heal the terrible wounds Brenda had suffered in a very short period of time.
Brenda who was still half-conscious looked at the student slowly, her mouth whispered something, the student brought her ear closer to Brenda's mouth, but Brenda fainted first before saying it again.
The fight was declared over with Ferdinand as the winner, a commotion broke out a short while later as the disciples and instructors protested against Ferdinand putting the lives of other disciples at risk by launching a deadly attack. But the commotion soon subsided after the Head of the Academy stated it would take special action over what Ferdinand was doing.
The duel procession was about to be stopped because with the two battles just now, the disciples were considered to have known how strong the owners of the power of light were, but all the disciples asked for the duel to continue, they still wanted to see the strength of the other golden badge.
"Yes that's their strength, it all makes no sense, if the duel continues until all the gold badge disciples can turn, when will it be finished?" The instructor gave the reason why the duel was sufficient up to here.
But it was not the student's name that resigned to the teacher's decision just like that, with boundless arguments, they urged the instructors to continue the duel.
The Head of the Academy again intervened to stop the debate that could have caused this chaos and gave his decision. "I'll allow one more round." That sentence was absolute, no one dared to oppose it.
This time the instructor did not choose who would fight whom, but the two gold badge disciples were given the opportunity to advance into the arena, could be anyone who advanced, could be, as long as the badge is gold and not one that has dueled before. The rule made Adrian grunt disappointed, after all his classmates had been holding him back so as not to advance into the arena.
"Hows it? Doesn't anyone want to advance into the arena?" The instructor circulated his gaze to the entire disciple, "If there isn't one, we'll take care of it." Disciples at the silver and bronze levels began to corrode their classmates who had golden badges, they were eager to see another strength even though it was hard to digest sense.
Finally one student came forward and went up to the arena, the cheers of the disciples were again heard, they were more and more heavily pumping the golden badge students who were also timidly going forward, they were, because they might even be battered like Theodore and Brenda.
One student finally stepped forward to the arena where a rival opponent was waiting for him there, all students greeted him with a frenzied cry, especially the students who suddenly became fans after seeing his good-looking appearance. He was none other than Alex Collin, after witnessing the two fights earlier, he suddenly wanted to see just how strong his strength was when compared to the other disciples.
The two students were facing each other, Alex stared at his opponent sharply, he set his hunting breath as his adrenaline increased, "My name is Desmond, you?" The student introduced himself, "Alex." Alex answered briefly.
Desmond takes a bow as a weapon, but he sees Alex holding nothing. "Are you a witch? Or an empty-handed fighter?" desmond asked, "Okay, maybe both, or neither." Desmond was puzzled by the absurd answer, but he ignored it, "Hell over."
Instructor gives a cue, "Prepare ...."
'You guys ready?' Alex spoke to the fairies around him "When you need a master."
"START!"
Desmond pulls his bow, but strangely he doesn't use arrows or anything, but the fairies warn Alex to be on the lookout. A split second later, Desmond released his empty arrow, a streak of light hurtling at high speed just after Desmond released his arrow. Alex uses the wind element to deflect Desmond's shot, causing his supernatural arrow to slip and punch into the wall of the training area. Everyone turned to the wall that had been hit by the gunfire just now, looking hollows and cracks in the thick wall, signifying Desmond's terrifying attack power.
"It's cool, did he just shoot with a supernatural arrow?"
"The unseen ground of your eyes, clearly the arrow stuck in the wall of the training area."
"Eh, that's right."
"So, where did the arrow come from?"
"Of course, the power of these people is beyond reason."
Desmond starts to look alert, he clearly sees Alex just staying in place, but somehow his shot can miss. He realized that Alex was not an opponent that could be underestimated.
Once again he opened fire, this time three arrows shot in a row, two shots missed again, while one other shot was avoided by Alex.
"My turn." Alex raised his hand, then fireballs the size of a head appeared around him, Desmond was aghast, as did everyone who saw him.
"Crazy! The arrow suddenly appeared, now it was fire!?"
"What is magic?"
"Dropped! Where is there such magic!?"
Alex flicked his finger and the fireballs shot out at high speed towards Desmond. Shortly before the balls hit Desmond, it was seen he threw away his bow and protected his body with something.
BOOM
-BTOOM
BOOM
The fireballs exploded as soon as they hit Desmond, causing everyone to cry out in panic, the referee jumping out of the arena as Alex's range of fire blasts was too wide.
The series of explosions finally stopped, smoke billowing from where Desmond was standing, everyone waiting in hopes of anxiety, the time there will be more injuries? That's how they think it is.
But from behind the fading smoke, there was a faint silhouette of Desmond holding something. The fading smoke finally showed Desmond holding a large shield with a semi-circular shape, his back was seen emitting smoke, his uniform burning at the back, he did not expect Alex's fire attack to explode as soon as it hit his shield to make an explosive flame grab his back.
But it seemed that only Desmond's uniform was on fire, while his body was fine, evidently because he immediately grasped his bow and immediately made a streak of shots after the smoke disappeared. Again Desmond's shot did not make an impact on Alex, because every arrow like deflected something so that all his shots missed.
"Wind up! Not just fire but wind!?" Screeched on one of the disciples who realized the cause of Desmond's missed shot, 'What the fuck!? This is absolutely ridiculous!' peeked Desmond in heart.
Desmond threw out his bow once more, using the bow for nothing if his opponent could control the wind, he spread out his hand, a long black chain with a spiked ball at the end of his chain appeared in Desmond's hand.
Lashing out at Alex with a melee weapon was too risky, so he switched to a medium-range weapon. "It looks like the fire is too much huh, Desmond." Desmond paused for a moment, then chuckled at Alex's words, "That's really dangerous, I could've died knowing." Alex laughed, "When I've set the explosive, it seems like I'm lacking practice." Desmond grimaced in horror, "Should you still suppress his explosive power? It's ridiculous."
Desmond started twisting his chains, preparing to launch an attack. Meanwhile, Alex changed his standing position, a circle of water appeared behind his back after that. Desmond sighed, "What else? The sand? Smoke?" Alex grinned, "I also have lightning if you want." Desmond laughed blandly, "Nothing better."
With one 360-degree turn of the body, a chain with a spiked ball in Desmond's hand darted towards Alex's head, Alex avoiding the ball, but Desmond again twisted his body in such a way, making the thorny ball back towards him, the attack managed to injure Alex's right arm.
Desmond's unique movements are really difficult to predict, anyone would think that the spiked ball can only do one attack. But unexpectedly, the thorny ball could return to Desmond as quickly as it did on the first strike.
Alex gets more excited, the water circle behind his back turns violently, making water particles spread around Alex. From the particles that gathered, formed a lump of water that floated in the air, although the shape seemed funny and trivial, but no one wanted to laugh it off after witnessing Alex's first attack.
As Desmond's chain grew stronger, he realized that this time he would lose or even get injured, but he would fight to the end.
"Let's end this, Alex." Desmond again launched an attack, the spiked ball at the end of his chain turned into a scythe, and again he displayed the art of using a dazzling weapon. As if he were one with his chains, he launched a barrage of attacks towards Alex, If only he had fought someone else like Brenda, perhaps he still had a chance to win thanks to his mastery of incredible weapons. But Alex is not an opponent he can beat.
- WHOOSSHH
- BAM
- BAM
Wads of water around Alex shot into Desmond's body, several times he tried to pull over and avoid the high-pressure water attack, but the number and intensity of the attack was too high. Desmond was completely unflappable, now he was just twirling his chains swiftly to protect his body from Alex's water attack.
But anyway, human stamina remained limited, Desmond's chain rotation slowed down over time, making one by one Alex's attacks successfully penetrate his defenses and hit his body.
- BAM
- BAM
- BAM
- BAM
"RAAAARRGHHH!" Desmond roared loudly, trying to keep his feet in the arena despite his body being hit many times by Alex's attacks. But still, the shout did not make stamina return or strength multiply, Desmond remained desperate in the end, he had already reached the limit of his ability.
One lump of water twice the size of another blob formed in Alex's palm, then with a single swing of the hand, the wisp of water shot toward Desmond's body mercilessly, making him bounce off several meters and Desmond's black chain disappeared along with his consciousness.
"WOOOOOHHHHH!"
A cheering welcome Alex's victory over Desmond, the fight lasted longer than the previous two fights, made all spectators more nervous, and all exploded once the winner was determined.
"WINNER! ALEX!"
