These facts about the specializations of those sect mbers proved once more that the base information that I had was sowhat only limited to the Light Domain, albeit in certain parts only…
But that still ant that I would have to take note that the common sense in the Light Domain may not apply here, so that I won't stand out like a sore thumb if I didn't adapt into this domain quickly.
In fact, the best way to describe how that domain work was to think about so of the wuxia novels that I read before, which reminded of…
'I wonder how the trio are faring back in Starry Night city…'
Rembering the twins who liked to masquerade as if they were spit out of a martial hero novel, I felt a bit of mixed feelings, a little bit of it could be translated to nostalgia, which was sowhat weird as it wasn't that long since I left them…
'Well, they should be alright considering that the whole 'Light Association' was eliminated, the oppression that they were facing should have been long lifted…'
"No.111 Vs No.222!"
Putting these old thoughts aside, I left the ground watch platform as I headed towards the ring at which the referee that called my number stood…
`~~`~~`~~`
A few hours later…
It was currently 5 PM, which was more than halfway into the second day since the 2nd stage started…
Sohow, my first random match landed against another recruitee who actually forfeited in his own, which made it seem like he was trying to save his strength for the other match that he had, since he had actually won his first which was also against another recruitee…
'He wants to try his luck to qualify through the bonus round, I guess…'
However, at this point, I encountered my second match which I was lucky enough to have in the sa day.
'Just one more match and I won't have to co for the rest of the round!'
Besides, my opponent this ti wasn't normal as well…
"..."
'The silent type, huh? That's better…'
It was actually the attention catching fire swordswoman who seed to be quite the introvert as well…
"Start!"
With the referee announcing the start of the match, the swordswon drew her sword and stood still without dashing towards like an idiot just like the fire fist guy did.
Answering by drawing my sword as well, which was in its longsword form as well, I calmly activated the wind vein within the sword…
Stepping forward without haste, the opponent mimicked as she used the sa pace, till the point where our swords clashed.
Klang!
While I did activate the wind vein, I held back from using its power as our first exchange was a sword clash that depended on pure raw strength completely, which I obviously had the advantage on.
As a result, the swordswoman was almost sent back out of the ring, but she sohow managed to stabilize her stance before she reached the tip.
'So sort of a footwork…?'
The battle's first phase was basically strength and agility exchanges which would almost make one think that we were rely having a friendly spar in so kendo club, but even I was sowhat surprised by this…
Even though she was known for using her fused fire elental sword technique to finish the battle before it started during the first stage, this wasn't the case in this match as she seed to adopt a different style…
'Mimicry…?'
It was that she was basically mimicking my move to the core, but she seed to take the sa approach as if to limit the possible damage, which ant that she already understood that I couldn't be finished off in one overpowered move like the recruitees who faced her during the first stage.
The reason the battle had already lasted for five minutes wasn't just that though, it was mostly because I also held back as I wanted to gauge her strength as well, which resulted in this friendly spar atmosphere, but that wasn't going to last that long…
At this point, it was obvious that continuing this would only result in a draw due to the ti of the match running out and even if she was willing to do that, I wasn't.
I had already judged her weapon practice tier, which seed to be higher than mine, at tier-6, though my judgent wasn't that accurate, I could at least tell she was still a bit far from Tier-7, which was still sowhat shocking considering she wasn't a practitioner of the sword alone along with the fact that she was likely to be younger than 20 years old…
'Let's see how far is your other path practice then…'
The wind elents that I held back to this point burst out as she already moved far from my sword before I released the elents…
'Elental perception?'
Judging from her moves and the description of her signature move, she didn't seem to start working on her 'Elental Domain' yet as she had probably have reached the upper layer quite recently, so her quick move ant that she had quite a high perception stat that helped her took notice of the elents' movents as well as…
'Another dual elent holder…'
having such a high sensitivity to wind elent obviously ant that fire wasn't her only attribute, with that said, I could say that I have managed to get a good grasp of her standard of strength.
'Above the average of the earlier sect mbers, you should be able to get a good rank…'
However…
'You will have to move over through the bonus round though.'
It was about ti that I stopped fooling around…
After all, I was rely going easy to this point for the sake of having a good grasp of the limit my opponents' strength could reach, so it was better to finish this fast so I could go back to lazing just like she did against the newbies in the first stage...
'Wait, what?!'
