I was woken by Sei earlier in the morning. My turn was next after the girl on stage was finished. She only lasted a few rounds with the instructor before being knocked down. The look of disappointnt on her face shows just how much she must have trained. She was not half bad from how I saw it. She was just too over eager to try to score a hit on the instructor and was not watching his reactions.
“Next! Faith Cyrilia!” I heard my na called. I stood up and turned to the two girls who were still yawning and half asleep. “I am off!”
“Mmmm… good luck….” Adel’s voice sounded as if she was talking in her sleep.
“Good luck!” Sophie said softly in a louder than usual voice.-.
While I know I do not need to try hard during these tests, I want the academy to know that just because I have a recomndation letter, that I am not here just for a free ride. That I ca to this school to work hard and learn everything I can while I am here.
I have so much I wished to accomplish here that I did not want to play around. So even as I walked up to the stage, I already had my sword drawn and was ready to fight. I stood in front of the instructor waiting for him to begin the match.
“Oh? Now, this is interesting. It seems you have been in a real fight or two.” The Instructor said with a smile. His eyes seed to change compared to how he looked at the other examinees.
“You can say I have been in a fight or two. I guess you haven’t heard the rumors about .” I replied with a slight smile. I am not sure if he is playing dumb or just didn’t hear about the war.
“Wait…. Faith Cryilia…. Ah! It’s you! Hahaha! What a pleasure! I get to go one on one with the girl who wiped out an entire army, The Demon of the East, Faith Cryilia. The fairy who dances in the blood of her enemies.” I think I just heard another really embarrassing nickna just now. I will ignore it. I do not want to hear all these strange nas that people are pinning on . “I hope you will give a good fight. Please, you can go all out while fighting but rember, no attack magic spells, only body enhancents.”
“Alright. But I should ask. Can I put up a barrier just in case?” I did not wish for our fight to hurt anyone around us, so I figured at least a barrier should be put up.
“Yes, you are right. Can I ask you to do the honors?” The Instructor asked.
“Sure.” I answered before writing a quick magic circle in the air. “Five layer barrier….”
Barrier five layers thick ford around the battle stage. I could hear the voices from below all cry out. Which is to be expected. I an, none of the other matches needed a barrier, yet now one was being deployed and by the one taking the test. But this made things safer for everyone as I would not go easy on the instructor after he had asked to go all out.
“Haha! Really good! I see you will also pass the magic ability test without issue. Before we start, let give you my na, Demon of the East. You can call Bill Reliks. It is a pleasure to have a match with the rising star of the Gravos Kingdom.” It was nice that he introduced himself but did he need to call the Demon of the East during his introduction?
“It is a pleasure.” I answered back with a small pout. I really do hate this na.
“Then let’s begin, shall we?” Bill smiled before charging forward. Since he started taking the test, he had not once moved from where he stood, but now he was charging forward to take the initiative to attack.
I smiled. My blood was starting to heat up. I had not had a real battle since fighting Gesel. I was getting very excited. I watched as he buffed himself up with speed and strength enhancents. I went ahead and did the sa. As his sword swung down towards , I swung mine towards his.
As the two swords made contact, it was as if no sound was heard for almost a whole second when a loud thunderous boom was heard, and a shock wave spread out in all directions. Our swords moved so fast that they broke the sound barrier, causing a sonic boom. The ground under our feet shattered and a huge crater ford in the middle of the stage. The entire stage began to crumble and fall apart.
But this did not stop us from continuously swinging our swords, eting attack with attack. This was only pure swordsmanship, no attack magic whatsoever. With each clash, another sonic boom was heard, and the ground began to break up more. I had no idea what our battle looked like to those outside the stage, but my guess is that they were shocked at what they were seeing.
“Hahahahahaha! This is so much fun! Demon of the East, you really live up to your na!” Please stop with the na already! I wanted to cry. This damn na sucks!
But I could stop my lips from curling up and smiling as I continued my attack. My instincts were telling to continue for as long as I could that this was where I belonged. Swinging my sword in the midst of battle. I have no idea if this was my dragon instincts or my demonic instinct or maybe a rger of the two that makes up my dragonic bloodline. I am not quite sure, but all I know is that I am having so much fun! “Hahaha! Co! Fight with everything you have!”
The two of us were both smiling and laughing like maniacs as we attacked each other. We were just about to clash again for the umpteenth ti when a voice rang overhead, and both our bodies were frozen in place. “What the hell are you two doing!?”
