I Vessma Stronghold heir of the house of Stronghold and future wife of the heir of the house of Vendi. Was once again talked back too by that ape of a man…damn may he be that little twerp is trying to get on my nerves… I already graced him with a chance to fight at the solo battles but he still dared to question my orders and tried to make his worth more than it seems…I only hope he can do his job, like the tool he is. He must at least beat this sword wielder…damn savages and their primitive weapons. I never understood the reason why he was admitted to our school he should not be taught how to wield magic. Magic should be a privilege for the nobles and those of the purest of linages not for some unknown…savage.
The game is about to start and the Lord of this region will be the one to commentate on this game.
Before it started the entire ice field that was covering the platform was dissolved by magic as its owner now was eliminated.
Well, let's just hope he survives this round so that we can at least have a glimpse of their trump card's true power.
The announcer then said
"GAME START"
Only one second passed. The announcer then said
"GAME OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
What? What the hell is happening did he lose? That was fast way too fast what happened?
Smoke rose from the center of the platform no it was the side of the Astartian contender.
When the smoke cleared, I saw the figure of Asura standing tall while the enemy was…had his head penetrating the ground and all of his limbs were sprung in various ways.
What the hell did he do? As if hearing my thought the announcer then said
"OH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING, IT'S A FREGGING SUPLEX!!! I AM SO GLAD I GOT TO COMMENTATE ON THIS. A ONE HIT KILL!! AN INSTANT VICTORY FOR ASURA WHAT AN AMAZING DISPLAY OF POWER."
The hell happened?
"I know a lot of you are wondering what happened but I am not allowed to divulge the secrets of any of the contenders as this will be a disadvantage to Asura…unless he agrees to us revealing what type of spells he used we cannot show the replay…we are sorry but let the next Astartian contender rise to the stage…Wait! Wait! Asura just gave us the right to review the scene he said that it was going to be discovered anyway…let's see what happened then in slow motion."
Did he grant them permission? what the hell…who does he think he is to do something like that without consulting me…even though I want to know…
The screen started replaying what happened.
At first, both figures were standing still then Asura disappeared…it seems that his movement was even faster than the screen could display. He appeared behind the still unsuspecting contestant and grabbed him by the waist then instantly made a backward bow smashing the head of the other guy into the stone floor. It was that what caused the dust to rise.
His hit points were at 0 the second his head came into contact with the ground…normally his head would have become a stain on the floor if it was not for the barrier…what a frightening ability…why did he even reveal this…he could use this against the other girl she would not have seen this coming what an idiot…
"Marvellous just marvelous to be able to master the Shunpo technique at such a young age. What an extraordinary talent"
Shunpo?? Isn't that one of the spells of Ousay-sama…how did he even learn it? I was told that Ousay-sama never took a disciple even Zeles was deemed unfit to be his disciple although he developed a similar skill to Shunpo he considered it a cheap copy. But I find it really fascinating…yet this kid has already mastered one of the seven's technique…
The stadium erupted in roars as the replay was shown it was quite deafening.
"Let the next contender rise to the stage. We want more!!"
The next in line was the girl he was dancing with yesterday… for a savage, he still knew how to dance a little.
The girl had an armor breastplate that barely held down her humongous breasts…those things should be illegal!!
She had a helmet shaped like a cone with a braid of black hair on top of it that was dropping all the way to her waist.
Her helmet showed only her hazel eyes while covering almost all of her face.
She had two shoulder pads with small spikes on them while her breastplate was strapped to her waist with hardened leather she wore a battle skirt made from chainmail and boots that had protective plate reaching all the way to her knees as for the knee cap she had a small spike in its center.
All in all, with her green hair showing from under her helmet and swaying in the wind while she casually held the biggest glaive I have ever seen, it had a runic designee on the blade part with multiple symbols written all over the shaft. She looked barbaric…yet at the same time, she had a strange presence to her, like she was enforcing respect…A barbarian princess…
The non-caring attitude of Asura soon changed when he saw her coming as a grin was now mounting his smug face. He walked slowly back to his position while taking a strange fighting stance. But this time he had a sword with him when did he find the chance to bring it.
However, that sword was ominous it had a strange feel to it as whenever I tried to gaze on it I had this repulsive urge to look away. It looked like it was made for a devil. It was red in color with a draconic hilt. Its size was not that impressive but it was shaped like a scimitar.
Asura casually spun it around his right arm making some warm-up swings waiting for the girl to be on stage.
Once she was in front of him, he spoke.
"So how about we finish that dance"
She then answered with an elusive tone
"Most certainly."
The commentator eagerly said
"GAME START"
I thought that Asura would use the same move earlier but what happened was extraordinary.
They both stood still for a few moments slowly breathing in and out. Each time Asura changed his stance, the girl would change hers in accordance. They stood still yet only changed stances trying to find a weak point to penetrate through…if it was for me, I would have scorched her to a crisp.
After a few exchanges of stances, they finally settled at one. Asura had his sword held by his right arm over his shoulder and was horizontally pointing forward as for the girl she was holding the glaive with both hands while pointing the blade in a sideways position.
In an instant Asura disappeared he must have used his Shunpo skill again this time I was prepared and focused my sight at the girl to see what she would do.
She casually flicked her glaive upwards at the empty air but what happened next was to be marveled.
Normally she would have cut through the air but she actually slammed her glaive into the sword of Asura who just appeared from thin air. The first hit made a loud metal hitting metal sound that resounded through the entire arena.
One second of the delay was followed with several louder clangs that went in rapid succession they were both exchanging blows at an extremely fast pace that only made their weapons look like a blur.
One moment after, they disengaged and stood still.
Then once again they started switching stances but this time it was the girl who leads and Asura who followed.
After they both stopped, the girl charged forward, at first, she was walking with her glaive held in front of her then she started picking up speed, then she disappeared.
Asura somehow managed to fling his body backward dodging the devastating glaive slash that cut through the ground like it was butter.
Not wasting any second, the girl followed with multiple thrusts of her glaive while twirling her body, making consecutive body rotations in mid-air followed by consecutive vertical strikes.
Asura was being pushed back as he was jumping backward every time the blade came close to hit him.
Surprisingly he was grinning like an idiot almost having fun being this close to getting his head crushed like an egg.
The girl finished her attack by grabbing her glaive by the end and slashing it horizontally toward Asura this time he did not jump backward but twisted his body and made a vertical slash of his own using his sword. The act almost looked similar to the attack that the girl was using but as if she was expecting it she just jerked her upper body backward making her accursed mounds jiggle wildly while still dodging the sword that slashed in between completely missing the mark.
The audience erupted in cheers after that. Then the commentator spoke
"WHAT AN AMAZING DISPLAY OF SKILL!!! What is this? It's been so long since I last saw two promising younglings showing this mush skill. An amazing display of power from both sides. I can't wait when this fight reaches its climax!"
