Revenge of the Son of the Nobles

Chapter 17: The Challenge

"Hey, look! Isn't that Alex Collin?"

"Alex Collin? The one who was said to be on par with Ferdinand?"

"Yes right, it's him."

"But why did he participate in weapons training materials? Isn't he fighting with a weapon?"

"If he really mastered the art of armed, even more aura, it would not be what kind of monster he was."

"Do you think he can win against Adrian?"

Alex tried to stay focused amid the whispers of the silver and bronze badge students who were surprised by his presence in the armed art materials, even the instructor was hesitant to allow Alex into the training room.

Ever since the students made the ranking of the most powerful disciples in the Academy, the names of Alex and Ferdinand were the most frequently mentioned, since Ferdinand had long since been a magic genius who also mastered sword techniques, as well, plus, now he had the power of light that was somehow what it was and how it worked.

Although Alex has the power of light in the form of elemental fairies, but to face Ferdinand who mastered magic and aura, plus the power of light that is still mysterious, Alex felt he would not be able to defeat him.

Come to think of it, the Brenda Polearm was like it had pierced through Ferdinand's body as he launched a final attack before being dorned by Ferdinand. 'Was Ferdinand's strength able to make his body immune to all attacks? If it's true, it's not fair dong' That's what Alex thinks.

According to the Instructor's explanation, an aura could be obtained after going through a hard training, but feeling the aura within the body was more difficult than controlling it. "Create your weapon until you feel the aura inside you, the control, I don't think you'll be so hard-pressed because you're familiar with controlling the power of light." That's what the Instructor told Alex.

But, until now Alex still did not feel any signs of the appearance of the aura in his body, obviously, the person he just trained today. While in the village, he was taught by Tony how to use a sword, but he was not given aura training.

Alex continuously swung his wooden Swordstaff, after seeing the fight between Brenda and Ferdinand, he felt that a weapon like the Polearm was very effective to deal with opponents who used swords. But because he felt he could not use the Polearm like Brenda used, then he chose Swordstaff as his training weapon.

Right now that he had swung his Swordstaff for the thousandth time, he immediately sat down exhausted, his uniform soaked in sweat.

"Can I help you?" Alex asked in astonishment, why is it that the high-class noble who is also the best student to say hello first?

"No, it's just that you seem to be training the aura, am I right?" Alfonso's face seemed flat, unlike Ferdinand who always wore a bright expression. "Sir, this man is as dangerous as Ferdninand." Actually Alex was still confused, these elves always warned him when he was close to Ferdinand, for some reason. Now they give a warning because Alex is near Alfonso, this makes Alex more confused.

"Ah, yes. I'm trying to practice the aura." Answer Alex.

Alfonso nodded, "I'm also practicing aura, because I'm a magician, so I'm not as good as Ferdinand at using aura."

Alfonso's words make Alex confused what the purpose of this person memorized it. "Ah, so ... So then? What's the matter with me?"

Alfonso drew his wooden sword and put on a ready-to-fight posture, "Let's just say we help each other, my father once said that by fighting can accelerate the mastery of the aura."

Alex frowned, he was still not so brave against Ferdinand, now even his brother who was considered the number one young witch in Vasilius came to challenge him. Although they were both not very master of the art of fighting, but Alfonso definitely remained as monster as Ferdinand.

"Did you refuse?"

The other students immediately huddled around Alex and Alfonso, they started cheering provoking Alex who still did not accept Alfonso's challenge.

The instructor seemed to agree to this duel, even he was already preparing to give a warning. Alex sighed, there seemed to be no other choice. He put up the fighting horses, his Swordstaff pointed straight ahead.

Alfonso again improved his posture, the sword with the Bastard Sword model clasped tightly in his hand, preparing for a fistfight with Alex.

Seeing that the two people were ready to fight, as soon as all the disciples in the place cheered loudly, two monsters who were not weapon users fought with weapons.

"Magic and Light Power are not allowed in this fight, only wooden weapons and aura if they master it. Prepare ... Get started!"
