[Eon's POV: ]
(The next day: )
Everyone was now gathered in the innermost part of the academy, in a special combat zone made just for the tests related to the superior Magic and combat training class.
'The teacher in charge of this class was a natural golem that possessed a sentient consciousness. A creature- person- that was considered one of the best weapon wielders that the vice headmaster has ever produced.'
By appearance, he resembled a monkey-person. Looked pretty humanoid unlike the other golem and he was a natural being so he possessed great powers.
He also had no talent at all.
'Yeah… no talent at all.'
He was a golem even though he had consciousness and a sentient ego. There was no way for him to improve the body that he was born with other than tempering it a little- however it had its limits that he had reached centuries ago.
His growth limitations were greater than anyone else, so since he could not improve his strength or stats, he improved the skills that he could possess natural creature, and worked extrely on his techniques.
'He practiced day and night for decades and centuries to refine his techniques. And, even by the standards of the true Weapon master of all weapons, he was able to reach a stage that was not comprehensible with the common sense or knowledge.'
Sir Brown. It was a na given to him by his teacher and the person who found him in a faraway desert, brought him to this place, and trained him with her own hands.
'She only wanted to have him a life that he could enjoy, just like she had wished for all of the students that she had taught and looked after until now.'
But, with a wish born from his desire to be soone worthy of his master's trust, this unique creature rose to a position where he beca the successor of her position— the person that had taught the most talents in the last few centuries.
'Starting from grandma, Rein's grandpa, half of the rulers of this world, and even many great mages of this world had learned combat skills under his tutelage.'
If we say Vice Headmaster Oddfrid was the one who taught every famous person how to wield the weapons and how to actually wield their magic, this person was the teacher that taught them how to fight, how to defend themselves in all crucial situations, and how to protect what was precious to them.
'Many people owed him a great deal, including her grandpa and grandmother.'
Even emperor August and the witch of north had learned from him… so, he surely was a figure as famous as people like Headmaster, vice headmaster, or Miss Vivian.
"The matchups have been announced so make a line with your numbers alongside your opponents."
He always had a warm smile that strangely hid all his serious and strict nature.
He was a fun person at tis, and he was a person that everyone would hate at other tis.
'He helped all the students that wanted to learn from him, but there was a standard that he had to maintain to keep the list of in this class under the set limits by the academy.'
His class was a little too famous so everyone in the academy that was intrested in combat wanted to join them.
But, since this was a superior class that was assigned the highest level of resources, he had to keep the numbers under a certain amount.
'Not everyone got the chance to join his classes, but there was a different system for the ones who could not get in.'
They were given priority in the next years and there were many extra chances for them to join his class— of course there was an option to just co and attend his class if they wanted, but, since this class was all about practical knowledge, even if they wanted to, they could not participate in the class activities.
'Thankfully, everyone of our friends made it to his class.'
Those who did not join this year were going to join the next year since they had taken a different course, but I'm pretty sure they would make it in.
Anyway…
Today was the day of the test for this paper. And, everyone was gathered in the innermost part of the academy castle— a special space that generally only contained the facilities for the extracurricular activities.
"We have twelve arenas so the fights will happen simultaneously. We don't have long so everyone will only get thirty minutes maximum, so finish things as soon as you possibly can.
There are a lot of you and the ti and arenas are limited. So, don't do anything that would prolong this duel.
Fight as if your life's on the line and give everything you want to… you will get plenty of ti in the second section, and for the third section, well, we will have the rest of the day for that.
So… make sure you do well in this one. Be shaless and finish the battle in a second if you can. Your opponents will get extra points if they survive a lethal attack and stand up."
That was it from his side, so he did not waste any ti and called the first batch in the arena.
[{ "Lol, she looks a little too excited." }]
[{ "Well, I'm more interested in the battle of two witches instead of one with a blazing fairy and a normal archer." }]
[{ "Ptfff. Normal my foot. You're the most abnormal one present here. Do you think there's soone else that can shoot arrows better than you and fight on the sa intensity as a blade wielder?" }]
[{ "Well, don't praise that much. I'm not that special, hehe." }]
[{ "Bastard and his cheap acting. Haaa." }]
She did not like replies like that since she knows they aren't genuine at all.
But, well, there was a smile on her face as I could see with my third eye.
"Miss Tia looks a little too excited about this."
"She wanted to fight officially for ages now. Of course she is excited."
Tia was in her bigger form as she stood beside with an overly excited expression.
It seed like she was about to scream out with excitent just to get paired up with .
'She was the most competitive one here, and since she got the chance to fight against the one that she knew was actually the most special one, she could not contain her excitent.'
She was happy, and seeing the unique pairings we got this ti… I'd say her excitent was understandable.
'Tia and I, Prince Claud and Carla, Rein and Luna, Quin and Alf, Hide and Ezra, Chry and Alpha… these match-ups were pretty crazy.'
Two witches going against one another, captain of True dragons fighting with the raising star and vice captain of Eternal Tiger, the prince of Roxana and the eldest and best sword prodigy my elder sister, Quin and her vice captain, hide the wizard and Ezra the unfortunate regressor, and lastly Captain of Fusion stardust and — the one who made the dish that none of the students or the teachers would ever forget about.
"Tehehe…"
Tia was excited. A little too much, probably.
"I'm going to go easy on you, alright?" Her giggle was distracting others around us, especially now that the matches had started and the others wanted to focus on the ones fighting.
There were many good match-ups that the students as well as the rest of the spectators filling this place wanted to watch.
"Hun. What did you just say?"
"Shhhhh. Lower your voice."
She herself did not realise that she was giggling loudly so when I said that I would go easy on her- on a prideful person like her- she looked at as if I had spoken the worst curse word soone could speak to her.
Her voice was loud when she asked what I had just said, however after realising that she was being loud, she apologised to the ones around her and started speaking in a voice that was only audible enough to reach .
"I'll not go easy on you, I said."
"Hun?"
"What? Did you hear sothing like I'd go easy on you? Soone as strong as you?"
"Are you mocking right now?"
Now, she was looking at with a serious expression that scread of her anger.
She did not like how I was playing tricks on her in that crucial mont, especially when's I was saying those things.
The tone I was using was a genuine one, so it seed even more disturbing to her.
"And why would I do that, Miss captain? You're strong, don't you think so as well?"
What I was doing right now was intentional.
"Yes?"
"And don't you think I should go all out against you so that you will get the chance to show how powerful you actually are?"
"That's right…?"
She now had a confused expression— one that could not understand what I was saying exactly.
"Then, wouldn't it be more logical that I would say I would respect your wishes and say sothing like 'not going easy' on you? I know you're strong so why would I want to hold back and risk losing?"
"…that's right, isn't it?"
"It is. It is right. And it is logical."
Except I didn't say it. It was still logical though.
Chapter Read:
"Oh… then I must have misunderstood sothing. I apologise."
She was still confused and was processing what just happened.
We were going to fight soon and she was happy about that, but thanks to this sudden confusion, she was going to stay quiet for a while.
'And by the ti she realises what was wrong with my logic, she will be too angry to hold herself back.'
And that will be when she gets to shine even more…
