The moment the instructor said begin. Fire had started to form At Elijah's feet and propelled him forward at an amazing speed.
As he was charging forward, almost flying even, he suddenly twisted his body as a whistling sound went by his head.
*Schwee!*
An arrow made of wind had almost struck him in the head.
Luckily he had dodged it and was now preparing to charge in again when he noticed that Henry was now close to him with his short sword out.
Elijah responded to this by engulfing his sword in flames and clashing with Henry's Shortsword head-on.
*Clank*
The two swords collided.
One covered in fire, the other in wind.
Knowing that he was being pushed back, Wind gathered at Henry's feet and he flew backward and got his bow out and aimed at Elijah.
Elijah on the other hand had already closed the distance between themselves and was now nearly in front of Henry.
However, Just as he was about to strike, He ducked down and dodged another arrow of wind that came at his face.
Ducking down his sword began to be engulfed in an even more intense flame and Henry Aimed his bow at him again.
And then there it was the final clash.
[Burning Sword Art]
//First Movement
Flashing Flame Strike.
His sword moved upwards.
Meanwhile an arrow of wind, This time resembling a small tornado formed in Henry's bow and he released it.
[Strike Of Wind(D)]
The tornado and Flaming sword clashed against each other and a large explosion of mana erupted.
*Boom!*
There was dust everywhere.
When it finally settled, The students could see Elijah standing while Henry was nowhere to be found.
...Well on the stage that is, During the collision, Elijah's Sword had won and Henry was hit with the aftermath and flew out of the stage and landed on his back a few feet away from it.
"Elijah Ardor, Rank 2, Wins. "
Upon hearing the instructor announce the results, Cheers erupted from the students.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey had just seen the Rank 2 and Rank 3 fight in a match that didn't even last five minutes!
Elijah, Instead of relishing in his victory went over to Henry and Held out his hand.
"That was a good match!"
Henry, grabbing his head and standing up said.
"Good Match? I got destroyed."
"Oh come on, It was close you know!"
"Yeah Yeah."
After everyone had cheered for the fight they got yelled at by the instructor to continue training.
"Hey, Considering how strong Elijah is, How about the zombie?"
Elaine was talking nonstop, disturbing both Serena and Sabrina From training their mana techniques, although none of them minded it.
"Zombie?"
"The rank first who's always sleeping."
"Him?"
"Yep."
Elaine and Serena talked to each other and Serena, after pondering for a while responded.
"Alan Would probably win if he keeps his Rank at C, If it's related to pure skill then I don't know, although then Elijah does have a chance."
"I do want to see them fight."
***
"I want to challenge you to a spar."
"Not interested."
"Please? I want to test my limits."
"I said no."
"Then maybe another time?"
Disturbing me from my training was a certain protagonist.
Realizing that he wouldn't listen even if I said no, I ignored him and continued training.
"Oh come on, please! I wanna fight you!"
Unknown to me, The certain protagonist was being denied by two people.
[Supreme Dragon Of Fire Agri says it is not wise to challenge him at your current level.]
'I'm still doing it.'
[Supreme dragon of Fire Agri says you are stupid.]
Completely ignoring the messages from the Supreme dragon Of Fire, Elijah Pushed forward.
"Oh? It can't be that you are scared right?"
"The rank first, The youngest C Rank, First spatial awakened, Is scared?"
"...you know you could just say no again."
"Come on, please! I just want to test if I can beat you or not!"
Elijah kept asking for a spar yet Alan Didn't even respond to him.
"Dude it will be helpful to us both!"
"Will you please have a friendly spar with me?"
"I request a Duel!"
"No man should run away from a duel!"
"I have other means to make you accept!"
"....ok fine I give up."
And in the end, he gave up.
But he only faces up to today because of no matter what.
He was going to spar with Alan At least once.
And he was going to annoy him every single day until he accepted.
Little did our Elijah know, Alan, Would eventually accept.
And he would beat the absolute shit out
Elijah so that he never bothered him again.
***
That was hectic. I honestly never thought he would give up, to be honest.
But he did, for today at least.
And just as I was going to start training again.
I heard the instructor's voice.
"Class has ended! Go back to your classroom! Now go quickly!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd just as that was said, The students left almost hurriedly as if to not enrage him even further.
I left too as soon as I had finished changing back into my uniform and headed to class.
When I sat down I heard a voice from behind me.
"May I ask you for a du-"
"No."
I interrupted him before he could complete his sentence.
"Could it be that the rank first is scared?"
This time it was not Elijah, But a certain pink-haired girl who talked to me.
"Think whatever you want to think."
Nevertheless, I still ignored Serena.
"My, I never expected the Rank first of Shield to back down from a fight."
"I never expected the rank seven to ever shut up."
There was a slight pause within the group as everybody focused their attention on me when I said those words.
"What? I'm not allowed to say anything back?"
"No, that's not it..."
This time it was Henry who replied, And pointed at a scary-looking face that was present on Serena.
"...Now that's no way to talk to a lady you know Alan."
Without replying to her I plopped my head down after looking at her with an annoyed and disgusted look.
Classes had started again.
and I pretended to sleep through them all.
And finally, they had ended.
The moment they ended the students began to step outside the classroom to do whatever they wanted to.
"Are you two not coming?"
Henry asked both me and Sabrina.
"Not yet."
The one that replied to him was Sabrina.
Hearing her answer, Henry looked at me and for some reason put his thumb up toward me.
And with that, They all left and we were the only two left in the classroom.
After the classroom had been deserted,I stood up and opened a portal.
And both of us stepped inside.
