Chapter 15 - letting loose

This fiend was rather weird looking at first I thought it may be a gore but its presence is far from it. This black shaped mega worm was slithering around itself giving the urge to vomit to anyone that kept a constant view of this creature. The teacher added.

"This summons is a dark worm from a dark magic circle that you can see on the floor. It is the guardian of this floor and it will not attack unless attacked first. "

"Oh, summoning magic…that is cool. So what abilities does it have?"

"That my boy you will have to find out on your own."

Not playing it like last time I called upon my sword and used only its first form. With a quick slash, I decapitated the head of the worm that just wriggled and died instantly…so much for abilities…

The shock was apparent on the teacher's face but he played it cool and snapped his finger. The door glowed a bit then it open pulling itself up.

I left the teacher that just closed the door behind me saying not to worry because the entire 'dungeon' was monitored and at the sight of danger a teacher will come to the rescue.

The tunnel this time proceeded downwards but unlike the cave like appearance before the inside was stone built with a bluish color and had crystals decorating the upper parts of the walls lighting the passage.

Walking for few minutes I noticed that it was getting colder and I still haven't seen any monsters ahead only a long way down to god knows where.

A few meters ahead I noticed some wriggling and fast paced light steppes like something was scurrying away. Probably monsters trying to hide away from my pressure skill that is still active.

I stopped for a second after hearing the sound of combat then stepped up my pace. I wouldn't want to miss out on a magic fight anyway it's always a good opportunity to learn new things.

I arrived at what looked like an arena of sorts.

I was standing at the entrance which was 5 meters above the ground level. The arena was round shaped. With multiple doors forming a circle around it. I believe the exit or passage to another section is behind one of the doors.

In the center of the arena, she stood.

As elegant as ever a magnificent posture portraying Nobleness and pride.

She paid no attention to me probably because she was focused on facing the monster ahead of her. It was a troll of some sorts. It was white in color probably a Yeti. The ground was half frozen and he seemed to be winning this fight. It is probably due to the fact that she is using ice based magic and Yetis are mainly resistant to it. After a brief exchange of magic ice bolts and stalactite. They Yeti turned to have a very visible advantage as her ice bolts were dealing no apparent damage to the Yeti while she was having a difficult time dodging the ice shards that the Yeti was throwing at her.

A few seconds after she channeled a spell trying to impale the Yeti but its fur was sturdy enough to make the shards of glace shatter. She tried to will the ice that was being formed by the yeti but to no avail.

The Yeti started advancing slamming his hands on his chest and going into a frenzy. Probably had enough playtime thus it became serious.

I hesitated at first and thought about lending her a hand but right before I could jump in a hand pressed on my right shoulder. I panicked a second because the man that silently approached me invaded my space without me ever noticing him. It was like if he was a ghost.

The man signaled me to remain quiet and keep watching.

The girl struggled to dodge the hits from the Yeti failing to properly position herself she fell from stepping on a shard of ice. The Yeti who was close enough tried to finish the fight by grouping his fists and trying to land a shattering blow to her chest.

A moment before the impact the girl flinched closing her eye.

The Yeti suddenly stopped moving and disappeared into thin air.

The teacher suddenly appeared in front of her saying

"You did well. But if I were you I would have relied on wind magic or water magic to fight this monster. Even using fire magic would have been better than to play the stubborn head. The white back yeti have exceptional ice control and can manage themselves against the strongest of ice mages with ease. This monster was the best type to show what would happen if you are in face of a counter magician. With you joining the competition soon you need to become flexible and rely on other magic instead of your own affinity."

With a flick of his finger, a teleportation Mahojin was cast below the girl and she started teleporting away. Before she could fully disappear she looked up and made eye contact with me right before she left.

Still shocked by the fact that the goddess of beauty spared nothing to create this masterpiece I was brought back to reality with a cough from the still standing teacher.

"So are you here only to watch or you want to test your skills?"

"Ah, I'll never say no to a challenge. Hit me with your best."

"Oh, confident aren't we. How about you try the same monster that Yuna-san fought?"

"Alright." Jumping into the arena I was ready to let loose a little.
