Regis came back early to his dorm room and invoke a long ranged telepathy-type of a spell. A spell that consumes a great amount of magic power as the distance of receiver increases.
"Reena— Reena… Can you hear me, Reena?"
Regis repeated the name of the receiver 'Reena' a multiple time seems that the receiver is busy.
"Oh? Is that you big brother?! Yes, little Reena can hear you just fine~!"
On the other side of the telepathy spell, a cute little voice could be heard.
"I'm glad you finally wake up. I'm here at the west kingdom of Edinburgh and attending school at Academy of Time Axel. Do you want me to bring you here?"
"Yes! This little Reena wants to be with her big brother!"
Regis was glad to hear the excited voice of his little sister on the other side. His heart warmed at the thought of the cheerful face of his younger sister.
"Good. I'll fetch you right now. Call upon 'Leo' and wait for me."
"Yes! Reena will summon her pet now. This little Reena will ensure to fulfill your orders~!"
"Thanks, Reena. You really are the best little sister in the whole world."
"Yeepeeeyy! Big brother complimented little Reena~! He complimented Reena! He said Reena is the best~! Little Reena is so happy right now!" bell-like laughter resounded on the other end of the transmission magic.
"Yeah, yeah…I'll inform Manaria for a bit and will go there quickly."
"OK! Bye-bye big brother~!"
Regis cut the transmission spell. He went out of the dormitory and headed to the academy's main building.
Regis entered the Director's office and talked to Manaria about the visitors that will come to their school tomorrow.
"So, you're bringing your little sister here, huh?"
"Yeah… I just want to inform you about it. She might stay here longer but I guess it will depend on the situation."
Manaria was thinking about Regis's request. Of course, she's taking it into consideration that it may be a good thing to have Reena in the academy for the meantime.
"I guess you won't consider rejecting my request, do you Manaria?" asked Regis with a smirk on his face.
Seeing her old disciple standing haughtily in front of her, Manaria answered while hiding her faint irritation.
"I know because rejecting your request will only lead on you ordering me to do it either way."
"Well, it may really come into that. By the way, I won't be coming back to my dorm for the meantime. Since Reena is coming, she will definitely insist on being with me but I can't bring her to the boy's dormitory so we will be using the special training room for the meantime."
The special training that Manaria lent to Regis was a very spacious room with a few sub-rooms, a shower room and a toilet inside.
Considering that it was built for training purposes, inside the sub-rooms are beds for the trainee to rest at which is almost the same as their dormitory room.
"Use it as you want. Just don't let an uninvolved person know about it."
"I know. Thank you by the way. I'll be going now."
Regis quickly went out of the academy. He turned into a bolt of black lightning and shoot up in the sky. The bolt of black lightning struck the sky as if it collided on something and a small tear in the space was made. The bolt of lightning quickly enters it and the tear closed. Everything happened so quickly it took only a few seconds.
'I need to go back before dinner time.' Was the only thing in Regis' thought when the tear in the space closed.
At the same time, after Regis leave the oval field—
"Sir Robert, can you please become my battle partner for a bit?"
Stepping forward in the middle, Brent Galius Gloucester requested to their professor to be his combat magic partner.
After watching how Robert fought with Regis, Bent Galius thought that if he were able to keep up with Robert, then he'll be able to match against Regis on a duel.
"Hm? House of Gloucester, Brent Galius, you sure you're requesting me to be your battle partner? I never held back against on any opponent, even if it's you."
"I know Sir, and that's really the reason why I requested. I want to know the chances of my winning against someone like Regis if I were to a match against him." Brent Galius answered resolutely.
"Oh? So you intend to have a match with him, huh? Well, your intention aside… it's really good to know that you're working hard to improve yourself by assessing your battle proficiency. I'm sure that Duke Gilbert, your father, will be overjoyed to hear that his only son is doing his best at school but—"
Robert stopped in the middle of his sentence, then, he showed Brent Galius a serious smile and continue to say...
"Are you really fine fighting a losing battle?"
"--Huh? What do you mean?"
Hearing that he will lose to Regis without them fighting yet, Brent Galius unintentionally raised a question but it was ignored by Robert as he immediately changed the subject.
"Okay, I accept your request. —Alright everyone, halt the combat magic practice and watch, observe carefully on this. I'll repeat. I'm only doing this just this once so watch carefully."
After saying that, Robert went into his combat stance, just like his stance when he fought with Regis earlier. A slightly dangerous pressure spread throughout the field.
"Come at me when you're ready, student Brent."
Brent Galius raised his hands while holding a golden magic stick.
"Come! My Glorious [Elemental Magic knights]!"
A magic circle appeared on the floor…
And there, came out a platoon of six silver armor-clad knights. Its height was about the same as a person's, but it appeared to be a high-class type of summoning magic. Each knight's sword is emitting a different kind of element from one another.
It stood stoically in front of Robert.
"Ohoh? A summon type, and Elemental Magic Knights at that."
"Yes. This is the magic I inherited from my father. Magic knights, attack him!"
With the command, the platoon of knights dashed to attack Robert.
At the moment when the magic knight's armor gleamed, all of them appeared in front of the professor— In a flash, six different elements of magic erupted on the single spot where Robert stood.
Even though magic erupted on the field, that doesn't mean that the field is damaged. Each facility in the magic academy is fortified with high-class magic which enables the students to duel everywhere.
In the place where Robert was standing before, smoke arises from that, a reaction from the collision of six different elements.
From the observer's point of view, the attack just now was overkill. A normal person without protection magic will most likely die from that attack.
The six knights returned in front of Galius and faced forward wearing a serious expression. He knows the battle is only starting.
After the smoke cleared, there was Robert standing on the same spot as if nothing happened.
"That was surprising. You're very talented in summoning magic, Brent Galius. The magic it posses is quite potent." praised Robert as looks at the appearance of the knights before him.
"I'm thankful for your compliment but professor it may be rude but enough of the talk. Didn't you say that you won't hold back, then why aren't you attacking?"
Hearing his opponent asked that question; Robert only smiled and asked him in return—
"About that… When did you hear me say that I did not attack?"
"—?!"
Suddenly, Galius' vision blurred a bit.
'I was hit? When?!'
Galius can't believe what had just happened to him. He was hit in his pressure point, in the solar plexus, but he didn't see it happen.
"I countered when you attacked just now. Also, I tripled the speed to the point where you won't be able to perceive it."
"Ugh... No wonder I didn't notice it."
Galius, after recovering, returned back a slight smile back to Robert who was preparing his battle stance.
"Although it is a powerful counter-attack after dodging, I can't make any considerable damage on you. After all, we're just starting but it won't be like that next time."
Robert's eyes turned serious again.
"Of course it won't! There no way that will gonna work on me a second time! Aaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!!! "
Galius howled and once again took a step.
This time, Galius charged along with his knights.
