The Rune Knight (Monster Tamer)

CHAPTER II Inter-Academy Tournament

2.8 Individual Capabilities.

I walked leisurely through the bustle of the Academy city. Someone patted me from behind. It was the food-seller uncle that I, Nadha, Robin and instructor Lina had always come to eat.

"Son, spirit well. If I win, I will buy it in my war. I pray for you" said the uncle and left me.

He was probably the fiftyth person to greet and pray for me to win this tournament. Although it was a bit troublesome I was really getting excited.

I walked towards the coliseum where the one-on-one match would start. Instructor Lina said we should gather in front of the western coliseum. I finally got to that place.

Am I going too fast? I said in my heart while looking at the enormous coliseum.

"Hey recalls, you came quickly too. Though usually late," said Nadha who came alone.

"Well I'm too excited maybe. How are you doing?" I asked Nadha while watching her who was looking at the colosseum.

"We're going to compete in the Kenangan?" nadha asked again without caring about my question.

"Yes, uh answered my question first," I said annoyed that my question was ignored.

"Hehe, I'm sorry I didn't hear that. What did you ask?" nadha said, who did not seem to listen.

"How are you doing now?" I asked Nadha again.

"I'm doing fine. Armstrong has taken good care of me, too" said Nadha who was quite convincing.

"Hey you two," said Robin coming over waving his hand. He came with instructor Lina behind him.

The four of us entered the western colosseum. After arriving in the colosseum we were given the room key. Indeed we will stay inside the colosseum during this match.

For other teams there are in the north, east, and south colosseum. After arriving at my room, I immediately changed my clothes to attend the opening ceremony.

We had gathered in the middle of the coliseum and there was king Felix in front of us.

"Hey young fighters. This is your last test. Who will determine victory are those who have been mentally prepared and able. Believe in your abilities, do not hesitate and burn your spirits. Fear defeat but fear death. If you die there's nothing you can do anymore. The rules were passed seven days earlier. So let's enjoy this process. Greetings to all of us" king Felix said after taking the stage followed by a standing ovation.

The first game was a match between Razer and Elric. I, Nadha, Robin and Instructor Lina saw the match on the western audience podium which was intended for participants to watch. So no one can disturb us watching.

Mass vs Glen.

Misa seems like a healer and Glen is a mage. Misa I knew that during my fight with Razer, she was the one who healed Razer.

Glen directly attacked with his flare magic but it could be avoided by Misa easily. After Glen's first attack avoided Misa, he quickly approached and managed to hit Glen with his cane. One blow instantly rendered Glen unconscious. The spectators including me were very surprised by the power that Misa had.

Lisa vs Zera's.

From the sword brought by Lisa I made sure that she was a warior. And this will be a fight between female wariors.

Fighting began. At the beginning, the two of them immediately fought swords. Many times their swords collided. None of them seemed to want to give up. But Zera's attack was the first to hit Lisa. Zera's sword managed to hit Lisa's right hand deep enough.

"Come, Lilian," said Lisa, so that there were so many green tree roots forming a large body. It was a trent type mythical monster.

"Wake up Demian," said Zera summoning her mythical monster as well. Suddenly someone came in very coldly crashing into the ground beside Zera. When viewed it was a wyvern-type mythical monster.

Wyvern was immediately roared and his voice was very disturbing to the entire audience including me. I closed my ears and kept watching what was happening in the arena.

"Hem, a very difficult fight," Instructor Lina said as she held her chin.

"It's hard, why is it so hard for the instructor?" robin asked beside him with a very enthusiastic face.

"Well, you guys just pay attention. It will soon be over" Instructor Lina said as she continued to hold onto her chin.

The second match was won by Zera. Lisa was lying in the middle of the arena full of wounds. While it looks like Trent who is a mythical monster Lisa shrinks like it goes into the ground.

"What do you think sets them apart?" asked instructor Lina to me, Nadha and Robin.

"Experience" I said very confidently.

"Well right, for the sword ability Lisa has a very good technique. But he cannot apply perfectly in this match," instructor Lina said very seriously explaining.

Finally the four of us left the audience podium with very surprised expressions. The match between the Razer and Elric teams ended in Razer's defeat.

I saw when Razer immediately lost after a few seconds of the match. Razer's defeat may have been due to underestimating Elric at first. In addition, Elric's ability is indeed very great so that instructor Lina was surprised when watching. Razer is defeated by a combination of Elric and his powerful and fast mythical monster.

***

I was waiting in a room where Robin was lying wounded in bed. Instructor Lina was treating Robin's wound and covering it with a bandage. I just sat there waiting for Nadha's match. I also noticed Robin's condition.

"Although Robin won but this is also a defeat," I said while relieving anxiety to Nadha who was competing.

"Robin fought well enough to win the game. Despite the many wounds on Robin's body compared to his opponent's," instructor Lina said as she continued to take care of Robin.

"Tok tok," a knock on the door sounded and it was Nadha. He opened the door after knocking. Nadha's body did not look hurt.

"I did it" said Nadha very happy.

I immediately stood up and involuntarily hugged Nadha. Although Nadha was shocked but she was silent in my arms. After that Nadha walked towards Robin. He tried to heal Robin's wounds.

"Hey Remember, it's your turn. Don't just stare there," said Nadha, startling me when I saw her heal Robin.

"Oh yes, pray for me" I said as I rushed out of the room.

The party that competes must not watch the match of his partner. So that I was just waiting for the arrival of my party friends in the waiting room.

Arriving in the middle of the arena I saw a long-haired woman in yellow. It turned out that my opponent was a beautiful woman named Distya. He seems to be a healer.

This is not what I thought. Because I predicted I'd fight Reza. It's my fault I didn't ask Nadha and Robin before I said in my heart while scratching my head.

The match finished very quickly. I made Distya give up without hurting her. During the match I only dodged the attacks of Distya and her angel-type mythical monsters.

I didn't even ask Escanor for help against the two of them. After I managed to stab the mythical monster Distya, I aimed the two knives in my hand crossed at her neck. Distya immediately gave up from trembling in fear. It seems that Distya is not suitable in individual combat. Until he beat me easily.
