The Ruler Of Night

Chap 10's. Valkyrie vs Rangers

That day at the academy, Master Hisobu held a match for his students.

It was done to find out how far the ability of each student.

And so that all students know where their weaknesses and shortcomings are.

So that in the future they train more earnestly again, to face the level increase test.

"All right, everyone has got their turn, now you all go up to the audience bench.

"And for those who get sequence numbers 1 and 2 immediately you prepare, because the first match will begin" said Guru Hisobu gave directions.

then all the students moved towards the spectator bench above, while the students who were about to compete headed to a room to prepare.

"Excite Oda, I'm sure you can" Shira said encouragingly.

"Don't get too thought out, do it like you practice" said I, who also tried to make Oda confident.

"Alright, thank you guys" Oda replied with a better feeling.

The arena competed in contrast to the training arena, the vast and square-shaped training arena with no place for people to watch.

While the arena of the game is circular and also spacious, there is a place high enough for people to watch or called the spectator bench.

On the side of the arena wall there are 3 levels, the first level is a room for people who are preparing to compete.

The second level is a rectangular place, it is a place for judges to judge.

The next level is the third level is the spectator bench along the side of the arena, of course the place is for people who want to watch the game.

In the center of the spectator bench was a higher place, it was a place for nobles to watch the match. Precisely on the side facing the jury.

Me, Shira, and Rin who were with her female friend, as well as all the other disciples were on the audience bench. While Oda is preparing to compete.

After some time, Oda finally emerged from the side of the arena along with his opponent who appeared from the opposite side.

Oda was wearing a light armor with a spear weapon, but we were very surprised, because the opponent Oda was Yoe with a pair of short swords.

The weapon used in this match is a real weapon made of iron, only this weapon is made blunt so as not to cause serious injuries to students who compete.

But even though the weapon is made bluntly, with the magic power it has can make the attack sharper.

"How is this Shira? oda's opponent turns out to be Yoe" I said worried about Oda.

"Yoe, he is a great man, but we must trust Oda that he is also very strong" Shira assured me.

"You're right, I have to trust him" I said.

While Oda and Yoe were already facing each other, they bowed their bodies to salute each other.

"Prepare, I'll make you cry like a child asking to go home" Yoe provoked.

"What's? your voice isn't clear, are you still learning to speak?" sahut Oda replied as he raised his right hand to his ear and brought his ear closer to Yoe.

Shortly thereafter Master Hisobu rang a large bell, signalling the first match between Oda and Yoe began.

Master Hisobu noticed from the place of the jury who was in the 2nd level along with the Teachers of each Class.

Meanwhile Oda and Yoe who had taken distance between them just ran and attacked each other.

Oda starts the attack by jumping from a distance and stabbing his spear from above towards Yoe, but Yoe can see and dodge the attack so as to make the oda spear stick to the ground.

Yoe quickly made a twisting move to avoid Oda's attack and passed him, then Yoe just immediately counterattacked Oda by slashing him from behind.

But Oda realizes it and quickly subdues his body to evade Yoe's attack, then uses wind magic to launch a counterattack.

By releasing his spear that stuck on the ground and the position of the body that lowered, Oda just did a serkel kick or a round kick with his right foot.

Yoe who was not ready to fend off and did not have time to avoid it had to be hit by Oda's attack so quickly.

The physical attack combined with magic power made me attack very strong, Yoe who was hit by the attack bounced far to hit the arena wall.

Everyone who watched was quite surprised and wondered at what had happened.

"Is that what just now?" I just feel surprised.

"It was Oda's magic power, he used wind element magic so his attack was so fast and powerful" Shira explained.

"Wah it turns out he was great too. whereas it was very groggy, but when in the arena he was so confident" said I was surprised by the nature of Oda.

"You have a great student, Hisobu" said a Valkyrie teacher named Megelda.

"It was also thanks to your guidance, Megelda" replied Master Hisobu.

"Shut up and watch, it's still just beginning" said Ranger Master Hanz.

Then the Teachers kept quiet and began to notice the fight back.

Meanwhile Yoe who had received one attack made him become annoyed and angry. Yoe who also has wind element magic, started using her magic power.

Yoe put up the horses and prepared to make an attack, she let out a huge magic energy so as to make the air around blowing fiercely.

Oda who was in the middle of the arena was also preparing to receive the attack that would be carried out by Yoe, by installing the Oda Horses also released their enormous magic energy.

Yoe who looked at Oda with a sharp gaze, and Oda who looked at Yoe with a smile as if challenging her.

With full strength and quick movements, Yoe approached Oda and directly gave an attack to him.

But Oda did not stay silent, quickly and swiftly Oda fended off the attack and retaliated Yoe's attack.

They exchanged quite powerful attacks, occasionally they were hit by attacks and slashes of their respective weapons.

Due to their quite powerful magic power and their similar element, making the wind around the arena blow so hard that it made it difficult for us to open our eyes.

But the fight still continued, they fought earnestly showing their strength.

Until in the end they were both exhausted and could not use the great magic power anymore, because the Mana they had left a little.

"Yes my... Right now I really feel hungry, fighting a noble turns out to be very tiring as well" muttered Oda with a gasping breath.

'Damn it!, I can't possibly lose to a boy from the village like him!' yoe said in her heart feeling annoyed.

Then Yoe again used a great amount of magic power, seeming to force herself to make a powerful attack.

"WIND'S SLASH!"

Yoe made a long-range attack by swinging her sword and let out a powerful wind slash towards Oda.

"WIND'S DRILL!"

Oda used his magic power and made a whirlwind at the end of his spear, and destroyed the attack launched by Yoe.

While Yoe who is getting emotional because Oda can destroy his attack to make the attack back in a row.

But with the shrewdness of Oda using a spear weapon, he was able to dodge and destroy all those attacks, making it seem as if dancing in the rhythm of the fight.

It makes Yoe very upset and more angry, then he did a cover attack from the attacks that he did.

"CRUSHING WIND SLASH!"

Yoe twisted her body while swinging the sword she aligned with the sharp side of the sword aligned simultaneously, and unleashed a huge and extremely powerful wind slash attack towards Oda.

Oda realized that he would not be able to destroy or stop the attack, then with his wind magic Oda made a very high jump to avoid it.

While Yoe who was silent because she ran out of Mana can only see Oda who jumped so high above to make her vision glare because of the sunlight.

"VALKYRIE SPEAR: WIND LACING!"

While in the air Oda used his magic power, and it was as if the air around gathered together and formed a whirlwind that enveloped the entire part of his spear very quickly.

When the whirlwind on the spear was big enough to feel heavy to grasp, Oda threw the spear at Yoe with all her strength.

The spear shot very quickly from the top right towards Yoe,

while Yoe who looks very exhausted from running out of Mana tries to avoid it by jumping towards the back.

Yoe manages to dodge the spear but she is affected by the attack which hits the ground and causes a large explosion, thus making Yoe bounce and hit the arena wall until the wall becomes cracked.

After making the attack, Oda just fell silent to hold his legs that had started to limp to remain standing.

Yoe, who was hit by the blast from the attack, was lying on the ground with considerable injuries and almost lost consciousness.

"THEY!!!"

A big bell was sounded, marking the end of the first match between Oda Takeru and Yoe Fubuki.
