'Well she started improving that I can say for sure right now…but she is still lacking.'
It was a nice sunny day .A good breeze of air whiffed from time to time making the weather ever more pleasant.
If only I didn't look like I was bullying a pretty girl that was gasping for air in front of me I think I would call this a perfect day.
What lead to this you might say…well, it goes like this.
Back when I was on the transportation ship which by the way was magnanimous the size of it was ridiculous its different compartments would take days to describe …well in all its glory the ship was magnificent and capable of carrying the entire student board of the school while still retaining its majestic appearance…
Well I was in one of those compartment near a clinic that was built inside the air ship…yep there was a clinic…even a restaurant…one can only imagine how big it was…
So after Osfor was done talking to me and relaying the various informations regarding what happened after I passed out…this angelic being entered the room while Osfor comically exited.
She was as always, beyond beautiful…her perfect proportions nothing too big nothing too small a perfect hourglass shaped body with white hair reaching her waist. A stern look was atop her face when she said in a tone akin to be a whisper than a direct speech.
"Can I speak with you?"
I hastily said "Sure" before she could change her mind as I too was bewitched and wanting to converse with this person.
She looked back checking if Osfor-sensei really did leave then turned back facing me with the same sharp look on top of her face.
"I would like to spend some time with you…"
"Huh?" what? What? Is this chick saying…spend time with me…is she…no there seems to be a mistake here.
She fidgeted with a look of embarrassment on her face while her cheeks blushed red for a second then corrected herself.
"I-I mean…would you please spend time with me for training purposes…I was told that you managed to break through the third floor and even took down the yeti that I was unable to beat…I even saw your fight that time with the invaders at our school…I was helpless in front of one of them whilst you managed to beat him so please" She bowed slightly with her hair covering her face and added "would you please spare some time with me for sparring when we reach the school grounds…"
Now this is embarrassing, the girl wanted a sparring partner while my head on the other hand was in the gutter. Coughing a bit to shake off my embarrassment I said.
"Surly but I cannot see how sparring with me would prove beneficial to you even if as you say I was able to beat the floors of the dungeon that doesn't qualify me to be a proper sparring partner, shouldn't you ask a teacher?"
She waited for a moment opening her mouth then closing it hesitant on what to say next…then after a brief delay she said.
"W-well you see…the tournament is coming up soon and I need a partner not for magical fights but if my adversary is a warrior like you I would like to know how to handle myself in front of such opponents…there are not many teachers who can wield weapons on Albion so finding an adequate person to help with my training is difficult…until you showed up that is."
She has a point…I have seen no teachers or classes teaching anything besides magic in this school…I know it is a magic school, but shouldn't they at least have a small branch teaching swordsmanship?
"I see…well I need to consult first with Osfor sensei I also need to organize my time so that our sparring sessions will not be hindered by the time we need to attend classes."
As I finished my sentence the girl's eyes lit up and with pursed lips she smiled…a toothless smile but it can surly melt anyone's heart.
"Thank you…Asura-san" She said. Bowing once more then left…
I was left starring at the ceiling for a moment…still awestruck by what happened…if I remember…her name was Yuna.
And now here I am…in the middle of the coliseum of the school dodging and counterattacking that same girl's attacks.
She was Bold… strong and at times reckless. Most of her movement were elegant but still a bit exaggerated. Too many unnecessary actions…although here magical prowess were almost peerless to anyone I have seen in this school…except for Shiki I think he can hold his own. Her mana pool that was apparently dozens upon dozens of times larger than my natural mana pool seemed like an endless sea.
If it wasn't for her incomplete combustion that she told me that she could use 97% of here spell while 3% rebounded back causing magic poisoning, think she would make a terrifying mage.
I have been sparring with her each morning for the last 10 days. This however dragged some random audience that wanted to see how the fights go on.
She dropped down from exhaustion…mostly magic poisoning. As she was never able to fully burn trough here mana in a fight with me because the poisoning always prohibited here from continuing.
I started giving some advice.
"Okay…what can I say…I think right now you are perfectly capable of handling that same yeti. You obviously took the advice of Sraam-sensei and applied it. It's a good thing that you can use different attributes well not exactly to the same extent of the ice element nor your other dominant element wind and water but still it's amazing. Although…well you have a lot of openings…I know you are trying and I know this is not your full strength but you always take time between attacks and seem to hesitate every time you try using a large scale spell. More so you use too many useless movements trying to dodge a simple attack. Sidestepping my last blow would have been better than jumping backwards. At that position I could have used a follow-up attack and took you out with a single trust before you could even land."
The girl dusted herself up standing then nodded
Bowing slightly she said "Hm. Thank you for your time…Asura-san"
I am starting to feel embarrassed by the look of this girl bowing to me frequently.
"Don't mention it, whenever you feel ready just come ask for a sparring session I'll never decline a challenge."
Feeling good about myself I walked away from the arena.
The coliseum was not empty it had a number students that were watching our spare they too wanted to know how would the ice beauty fare against the devastating juggernaut this time…as one of the spectator stated earlier…quite a fun nickname the juggernaut, I think I became fond of it.
Appearing in front of me was the ever smiling face of Shiki. He seemed rather relaxed considering he was almost beaten to death by the teacher who he stole her bra.
"What's up buddy? Won't you spar with me too? Common I would like to see how I can manage myself in front of you." He said that with a bit of cracking and electricity spewing around his body.
…troublesome.
"Alright then let's go."
In an instant Shiki appeared on one side of the arena…he seems to be enjoying showing off especially when a lot of the audience was cheering once he was inside the arena. Mostly girls…what a showoff.
I said
"So would you like me to use my blade arts or magic or both?"
He said sarcastically.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't little Asura trying to pity me hah."
"So what is it gonna be?"
He said
"Well, use everything you got I want to see how I can beat you with you full power. I know you were able to beat that mage but I tell you this time you won't be lucky as I am fully prepared and will take you down instantly… speaking of magic didn't you just start learning it…you couldn't possibly be able to use high level spells so that bluff of yours will not work heheh so Let's go."
A judge was at the side of the ring staring at both of us probably bored from the small chat. He said
"The rules are the following. The use of A class offensive spells and above is forbidden as for non damaging high tierd spells there is no restriction. the person who's hit points reaches 0 first is the loser of the match the player who leaves the perimeter of the square stone platform is considered to have lost the game as well. Fight well…FIGHT START"
I had a wristwatch like thinning that I was given to by Osfor it supposedly calculates my current MU and SU. As Magical units and spiritual units. It had multiple functions and one of them this hit point system
It gives points that translates the current health state of a person in a normal situation when the hit points reaches 0 the person dies but under the dome and barrier of the school when the hit points reaches that threshold the person loses consciousness as the pain is only translated to the brain and not actually dealt to the body.
In a second as I watched Shiki who started to charge himself with electricity I believe I witnessed this before it the same as the time with the twins. He used this attack to accelerate the response of his body so he could move at inhuman speeds.
Not giving him time to fully finish his spell I used Shunpo appearing right in front of him while using earth shattering blow right in the middle of his chest.
And that was it. I think his hit points reached 0 long before his body could hit the wall of the arena.
A cheap shot…well I don't think that an opponent will wait for you to finish your spell will they now.
Shrugging at the instant defeat of Shiki I walked away from the ring…and I remember myself almost pissing myself the first time I saw the guys at school use magic. Laughing at the current development I headed away from the arena under the loud screams and cheers of the audience.
"Now it's my turn." Said a rude person who I begun to despise…it was Nassi he seems to have been accompanied with Shiki and decided to tap in. I wanted to decline but what can I say...It's my motto never back away from a challenge.
Releasing a long sigh I turned back and walked back at the arena again under the loud cheer of the small audience I crushed yet again another challenger.
Man…if all mages are like this I have no idea how they always won the tournament…it only takes a warrior with high enough speed a single hit to break them. Mages are strong but if they can't use their powers when they are needed then what is their use.
Walking away from the arena I noticed another line of challengers forming…give me a brake will you…
