Chapter 72
After the bell rang loudly, Bell and Karius retreated backwards.
Karius watched Bell from behind his Hat, then he moved very quickly.
*Swosh*
Karius immediately appeared in front of Bell and slashed his sword.
*Slash*
But Bell managed to retreat quickly and the slash from Karius did not hit him.
Karius then retreated and observed him again.
'Looks like this guy is strong enough, he managed to dodge my attack even though that was just to test it out'. Karius thought
Bell finally launched his attack.
*Swosh*
Bell appeared next to Karius and released his katana which was still wrapped in a sheath.
*Slash*
*Clang*
Karius resisted Bell's attack with his sword.
The clash of the two of them resulted in the wind blowing fiercely on the stage.
"Woah the fight between the two of them was incredible"
"Yes, I can feel their impact effects very clearly"
The other participants were amazed by the fight between the two of them, because all they saw was just an ordinary fight. So this was the first time they had seen such a great fight.
Martin who was observing the fight was also amazed and nodded. 'The two of them seemed like they would become great people in the future, let alone that young man named Bell. His sword looks very strange'.
Bell and Karius then took a few more steps back.
*Swosh**Swosh**Swosh***Swosh*
The two of them fought each other so quickly that only a few people could see them.
"Do you see their movement?"
"No, I can't see it, what about you?"
"No, I can't either"
The registration participants many could not see it, but there were some of them who were able to see the movement of Bell and Karius.
One of them was a man with red hair who was seen observing their fight seriously.
The man then muttered. "I think that young man named Bell will win".
A young man who looked like a scholar then approached him and asked. "What's your reason for saying he's gonna win?".
"Simple, because he's so strong". The red-haired young man said casually.
"What if he's compared to you?". The young man asked.
"I'll know after fighting him, but I'm sure I'll win". The red-haired young man said confidently.
Then he asked back. "What do you think?".
The young scholar replied casually. "I'm just like you, that young man named Bell is gonna win this fight".
.....
On stage Bell and Karius continued to attack each other at high speed.
*Clang**Clang**Clang*
Karius' sword clashed with Katana Bell to make a whizzing sound.
"Get out your sword"
Karius tells Bell to get his katana out of the sheath.
Bell was unwilling to take out his sword just for a trial like this.
"If so this will be your defeat"
Karius said as he launched his attack.
*Clang*
Their swords clashed again, after which Karius retreated a few steps back.
And he entered a very focused condition, then he issued an Aura that could thrill other participants.
It was Sword Intent, sword intent could only be mastered if a swordsman had already reached a very high understanding towards the sword.
Diana who saw that was a little surprised. "I didn't think Bell's opponent would be so strong".
Then he asked a young man who looked very calm next to him. "What do you think Merlin is?".
The young man named Merlin responded casually. "If Bell is serious, he'll win this fight easily".
"This time he will lose"
"Why do you think that is?". Diana asked.
"We'll see". Merlin only answered mysteriously.
Merlin is Mateo's son with Vanessa, he looks like a very smart man.
.....
On the stage Karius was already very serious with his sword intent.
He then wants to launch an attack on Bell, but before Karius can attack him.
Bell raised his hand and said casually. "I surrender".
"WHAT"
Bell's statement left everyone very confused, including Martin.
Martin then regained his senses from his daze and stopped their fight.
"Alright, it's enough to get here"
Karius dispelled his sword intent and asked Bell. "Why did you give up?".
"I don't want to waste a lot of energy on a fight like this, unless it's a real fight". Bell responded casually.
Hearing that Karius asked back. "Can we fight again?".
"I'll wait for him".
Bell then got off the stage and returned to where Diana and the others were.
"Why did you give up?". Diana asked after Bell got close to her.
"I'm too lazy to fight for so long". Bell replied casually, Then he lay down by the tree and fell asleep.
"Fuck you, what if you don't pass". Diana said with annoyance.
"Let's just relax he's definitely going to graduate, unless the Academy is so stupid that it doesn't approve". Merlin responded to Diana.
The red-haired youth as well as the young man who looked like a scholar were also shocked by the outcome of the fight.
"What's? why would he just give up? was my judgment wrong?". The red-haired young man said in confusion.
The young scholar shook his head. "No, I don't think he just wants to show his true strength".
"Why is that?". The red-haired young man asked.
"Because this is just a test to get into the Academy, so there's no need to take out your US card just for an insignificant fight". The young scholar responded.
After Bell and Karius' fight was over, Martin finally called the next participant.
"Next Tyr against Leo"
"It seems like it's my turn now". The red-haired young man said and went up on the stage
