Why Should I Stop Being a Villain-Novel

Chapter 362 Leonard Tarvian

362 Leonard Tarvian

"Of course, I know," Tyrone replied as he slammed his sword into the ground.

Flames erupted near his sword, wrapping around his sword making, making his aura stronger and fiercer than before.

"The more they burn, the stronger they get," One of the Guild evaluators spoke.

"The information about the Bloodline ability is rare, but from what I've heard, the more heat they absorb, the stronger they become," He added.

The reason why many elite families were still standing strong was because of their bloodline ability.

Although even people outside the Elite families had their own bloodline abilities, they were not comparable to the ones these elite families possessed.

But the chances of possessing a bloodline ability were quite rare, even if you were from these elite families.

And even after possessing it, the power of the bloodline was different for everyone, even if they came from the same bloodline.

For Tyrone, his body was indeed like a furnace where he could exchange his own flames to become stronger, but it was one of the effects.

But it had to be Tyrone's own fire that was created by his mana.

Although his external body could resist fire elements to a certain degree, his internal body could only absorb the flames he made.

"Wow, I never saw such fights at the Mage Associations," Jacob said, looking at the match,

"Mages are cooler," Jennifer said, puffing her cheeks.

Because Jacob was not a mage, he didn't see a lot of Weapon users fight with each other, so this was a new experience for him.

Jennifer and Jacob were raised around mages, but in reality, the amount of mages compared to weapon masters was low.

So, in World Academy, seeing so many weapon users fighting was a new experience for them.

Seeing that among all the Rank 1 Students, none of them were mages surprised Jennifer the most, who thought that mages were the strongest.

But in reality, the mages that Jennifer and Jacob would meet in the Mage Association were some of the best in the World and have honed their magic for years.

Leonard, on the stage, changes his stance to a different one.

The Remer Art he showed till now was something that allowed him to mix fire elements into his swordsmanship, but now he was using a different one.

Wind Element was one of the few elements that every swordsman wanted because it could allow them to attain a speed that was normally impossible.

His movement changed as Tyrone felt the weight of Leonard's strikes had changed.

They were much lighter, so they were easier to block but more hard to predict.

With the brightness of the flame and Leonard manipulating the wind around him, it made many blind spots for Tyrone.

But despite that, it was surprising to see Tyrone Martell block Leonard's sword so fast, so many times with his Long Sword.

In the VIP Room for the Student Council,

"See, I told you our Vice President is strong," One of the Student Council students spoke.

"But Leonard Tarvian is getting faster," The President of the Discipline Committee spoke out.

"Tyrone's strength is his insane reaction time; that's why I lost to him," He said while looking at the stage.

"But right now, Leonard is slowly increasing his speed to create more pressure so that Tyrone makes a mistake,"

'It doesn't look good for us,' He thought in his head.

He was Rank 4 in the Third Year, so he had sparred with both Leonard and Tyrone, and he could see that Leonard was much stronger than he had anticipated.

Since the Third Year started, it was hard to estimate someone's strength because all of them had entered the Trial's Ground.

The gain they received was different for everyone, depending on their experience inside.

But he was sure that Leonard wasn't showing all his cards just yet.

Leonard was smiling while Tyrone's eyes were focused on Leonard's sword.

"He is getting pushed back?" Some of the students were shocked.

They could see slowly, but Tyrone was getting pushed back. The attacks that Leonard was making were lighter, but at the moment of impact, a burst of wind increased the speed of the sword's strike high for a short time.

It was hard to fight like this because if Leonard lost control over his manipulation of Wind Element, he could lose the sword in his hand and would instantly be defeated.

And if he were fighting like this, then that meant he was confident in himself.

"Fourth Remer, Gale," Leonard whispered as he stepped back once.

Tyrone didn't want to give space to Leonard, who was already in the lead, so he pushed forward as he saw Leonard turning his body.

It was the perfect moment to disrupt his continuous attacks and gain the upper hand.

Rotating his body, he slashed towards Tyrone.

Tyrone, who was about to attack Leonard, stopped midway as he saw the strange movement Leonard made while rotating his body.

The sword in Leonard's hand was covered by his body, so Tyrone couldn't see it for a second.

And it was in that second that he twisted his grip, and the flame on his hand started converging towards the edge of the sword.

When Tyrone saw Leonard's slash, he was not in a proper stance to defend that attack.

So he used his sword and burst out his aura, but the warm air twisted the image of Leonard, making it impossible for Tyrone to quickly spot the point of contact.

To perfectly defend and negate the attack, Tyrone needed to stop the sword by hitting it on a specific point.

But Leonard knew it, and he purposefully hid his sword so that Tyrone wouldn't know his next attack at all.

Slash!

Tyrone felt a cut on his stomach, as the sword had already gone past before he could defend himself.

"...What?" Tyrone muttered as he was confused.

Leonard took that moment to create another attack, and Tyrone had no choice but to raise his long sword.

He was confused about how that sword went so fast that it could slash him.

Even if the vision was not clear, the speed of the sword didn't make sense, but there was no time to think about what had already happened.

He saw another big attack coming, and this time, Leonard didn't use his wind element.

It was a powerful strike that Tyrone had no choice but to block.

Dodging here was impossible because he would still get caught up in the attack, and with a wound like this, the match would be over.

BAM!

Smoke appeared all over the stage as they wanted to see the results, and when it dispersed, they saw Tyrone, who was still on his feet, but part of his armor was burnt.

But the impact behind the strike had dragged him out of the stage.

"It was a good fight," Leonard said with a smile as he sheathed his sword.

"WOAAH!!!"

"I told you he would win!!"

The crowd erupted in cheer as Tyrone put his long sword into his space ring. Despite the wound on his stomach, it didn't look like he was in pain or in discomfort.

There were burns and small cuts around his body, but that was the same for Leonard.

'I guess this is my limit,' Tyrone thought.

Even though Tyrone hadn't gone all out against Leonard, he knew that his opponent had done the same.

There was no way someone like Leonard Tarvian would show all his tricks before fighting Raelyn.

"It was a good match," Tyrone said with a calm look on his face.

"The winner is Leonard Tarvian, who will be going into the finals to face the Rank 1 Raelyn Whiteheart," Gazil announced.

"What a clever trick," Xarax said out loud.

Every one of them had seen Leonard's trick, which allowed him to go past Tyrone's block ahead of time.

"Using wind element to push his sword forward," Xarax said.

"One wrong move and his arm would have been dislocated due to that technique," Dexter pointed it out.

The force behind that attack was enough to push that sword out of his hand and even dislocate his shoulder at the same time.

He had manipulated Wind element just enough so that he could control it, but if things went wrong, it would have been him who would have lost.

"Either he is confident in himself or simply foolish to that," Xarax said out loud.

"But knowing he is your son, it would be the first case," Xarax let out a small laugh.

Someone as crafty as Osbert Tarvian wouldn't let his son grow up to fight like a reckless maniac.

"What an exciting match, and the next match will be between the Rank 3 Kiara Everett vs Rank 2 Reece Williams," Gazil announced.

"Some of the strongest students of our academy," Gazil said as Kiara walked onto the stage, and on the other side, it was Reece.

Loud cheers were heard because Kiara and Reece both had their own followers inside World Academy.

After all, they were two of the strongest students after Rank 1, Jayden Hargrave.

"It seems you are in a bad mood," Reece said as he raised his eyebrows as he walked on the stage.

"Who would be excited to fight someone like you? Let's get this over with," Kiara said as she swung her sword in the air.

Reece simply took out his own sword in response as they walked to their positions on the stage.
