Cold glittering tear eyes. He kept staring at me for a few seconds before turning his eyes away.
"Well, if no one has any questions, follow me." Tear then turned around and left the classroom.
The students looked at each other in confusion before following him. I also followed them, with Daisy beside me.
tear took us to the sports field. It was an open field filled with green grass and surrounded by stands where students could watch the people in the field.
Actually, even though I refer to it as a sports field, it is more like a small duel arena. There were other sports in the empire besides magic and sword duels, but very few people were interested in him.
When we got to the sports field, Tear watched each student closely and nodded.
“Today I will evaluate your combat abilities. I know that many of you received combat training in your home, but I need to evaluate how well you will perform in real combat. Now, I will call out two names and the students I summoned will fight each other. Carlos, Melody.”
The two students hesitated a little before taking a step forward. Tear then took them to the center of the field while the other students sat in the stands.
The fight was rather dull, after all, both of them were in the third layer of rookies.tear stood near them to ensure that they were unharmed and once the winner was determined, he stopped the fight.
After that, he called another couple. After a while, I realized that he paired the students according to their cultivation, starting from the weaker ones.
It didn't take long for Daisy to be called. He was paired with an ordinary girl who also possessed third-tier strength. The fight was quite long, with Daisy getting a narrow win after nearly ten minutes.
I have been guiding Daisy in her cultivation lately, but I taught her a little bit about the actual fight.I plan to wait until she advances to the fifth layer before putting her through a real battle.
Finally, when most of the class had been called, it was my turn.
However, the identity of the person I was fighting against made me smile wryly.
"Claus and Rose, it's your turn."
I forced myself not to show a bitter smile.
There were a few fourth-tier students in our class, but Rose and I weren't the only ones. However, Tear just paired the two of us against each other.
Normally, you would think of it as a coincidence, yet, I know better.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that it was the world that was trying to create a conflict between us.
I took out a wooden training sword and stood in front of Rose. Coincidentally, Rose also held a wooden sword. He looked at me and for a moment, a light of anger flashed in his eyes.
I furrowed my eyebrows. Looks like bad things. This girl has shown hostility to me. If I didn't know he was a hero, this fight would probably be the spark that started our conflict.
But now that I know his identity, everything is different.
I nodded towards Rose and smiled politely. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Claus Quintin.”
Rose frowned, but she might have thought it impolite not to answer, so she introduced herself as well.
"I'm Rose, just Rose."
"I know. I heard about you before. I must admit that I am impressed that an ordinary girl like you can rise to the fourth layer without anyone's support. ”
"… I work hard." She said.
“Haha, yes, I can see it. I even feel a little embarrassed. After all, I am also in the fourth layer even though I am a prince and have advantages over you.” I put on a bitter smile and shook my head. "However, I don't plan to lose."
Tear then looked towards us and took a step back. "Are you ready? Then start!”
A moment after Tear finished speaking, Rose moved.
He pressed his right foot on the ground and thrust his sword forward. His body flashed and disappeared from my sight
The next second, he appeared before me.
I'm a little surprised. Such speed was not something an ordinary fourth-tier practitioner could demonstrate.
But I was expecting something like that. After all, heroes are such creatures, capable of displaying strength beyond belief.
Before his sword could touch my chest, I leaned my body to the side and thrust my sword into his sword-wielding arm.
Rose showed a slightly surprised expression. He hurriedly pulled back his sword to fend off my attack, but my sword circled his defenses and continued towards his neck.
A look of astonishment appeared on Rose's face. Even though his movements were faster than mine, for some reason he felt the fight was entirely within my control.
Seeing my sword approaching her chest, Rose had no choice but to take a step back. However, once he backed off once, he became unable to take back the initiative.
My sword glittered sharply. Dozens of stabs pierced through his body from different directions and left several shadows in the air, as waves of sword attacks charged towards him.
Rose felt overwhelmed. He tried to block every attack, but my sword was too elusive.
In less than five seconds, a strong feeling of danger filled his mind.
Trusting her instincts, Rose jumped back. The next second, my sword cut into its previous position, cutting off a few strands of her hair.
But before he could sigh in relief, he saw a shadow from his perspective.
Surprised, Rose placed her sword in front of her chest to survive the attack. Then, my kick hit his sword.
“Ugh!” Roses groan in pain. He felt a heavy weight shatter his body and force him to retreat over five steps helplessly.
I stopped my attack and looked at Rose. As expected of a hero, even after I used fourth tier strength without restraint, I had trouble defeating him.
You should remember that I used the same power to defeat Louise, who is a level six mage. Meanwhile, Rose was still at the fourth layer, but she endured over twenty sword blows.
Of course, I didn't use (Render Reality), but I feel like he still has some cards that he hasn't shown yet.
Rose panted and looked at me with a serious expression. After which, He took a deep breath and held his sword vertically.
“... You are very strong.” She said.
I smiled gently. "You too. There aren't many fourth-tier practitioners who can withstand my twenty attacks without losing.”
Rose was surprised, but in the next second, she smiled. "So so. However, I do not plan to lose. ”
“Is that?” My smile is getting wider. "Then show me what you can do!"
In the next second, our battle increased again.
