Chapter 14 - Another Spar

Third Person POV

Josep stood leisurely with his wooden sword in his waist. On the contrary, Gene is in a full battle position ready to plunge at him anytime.

However, both of them still have not moved from each other even though the spar already started a while ago.

Josep is waiting at his teacher's first move while Gene cannot move because with her magic eye could foresee all her attacks got a counter attack. Every time she wants to move, she feels like being blocked by an invisible wall.

After a while of silence, Josep said, "Bloom…." Then, Gene immediately reacts by doing some parry towards the invisible slash that comes after her.

Every time she parried the attack, she felt like being hit by a bull. In her eyes she saw millions of attacks from all directions come at her rapidly. In the meantime, Josep kept standing still with only one hand that carried his sword while the other hand hanged leisurely.

Josep approaches slowly toward Gene. Every step he took, Gene's condition became more miserable. More and more invisible attacks come towards her.

When he is one meter away from Gene, her armor becomes denting and some part of her body also bruises with a few small wounds.

Meanwhile, Josep's sword begins more ragged and there is a sign of it cracking all over it despite not being seen move at all.

During this time, Josep already stopped moving and said, "Are you giving up now?"

Gene responded while in distress, "No way."

After that with an evil smile, Josep said, "Alright... It is quite tiring to do this technique for a long time."

Then, he disappears from her sight and appears in front of her while saying, "SA..." But, before he finished his word, the sword broke down into hundreds of pieces and stopped his attack.

At this instant, all Gene sees in her eyes is the petal of a sakura flower which is very beautiful but also gives a deadly aura around it.

Even though she knows that this petal is dangerous, she cannot move her body. Before the petal approaches her it disappears into thin air without damaging her.

Not long after that, there is the sound of cracking from the floor, wall, and ceiling. *Craakk.. Craakk.. BOOMM* The sound came from the surrounding and cut marks began to appear on everything in the training room.

If it is not because of the room enchantment, the training room already breaks apart by now. Instantly, Gene armor also breaks and her body gets a wounded small cut everywhere then she loses consciousness after being pressured by such a technique.

While all of this is happening, Josep slumps into the floor. His body was sweating a lot and also trembling exhausted. His face is very pale and his breathing very rough.

"Damn... I can only complete 10% of this technique and my body already hurts a lot. Just how come Pride could use this technique continuously Haa.. haaa…" as he thought while trying to calm his breathing.

After resting for a while, he regained some of his strength. He walks toward Gene to check her condition. He sees his red haired teacher in her tattered armor sleeping peacefully. She looks very enchanting despite her terrible condition.

'Any man will go out killing just to have this beauty.' Though Josep inwardly

Luckily, because of Lust, his mentality toward some girls is also different. Unless it is a very unique beauty or very cute girl, he may not have too much interest in them.

After checking her condition, he found there are various kinds of small cuts in her body but nothing serious. After she uses her mageforce, she will be able to heal up in no time. He put her towel to cover her body before back to meditate to regain his stamina.

During his meditation, Gene woke up and she seemed to want to talk about something to Josep but immediately realized her condition and blushing a lot.

Then, she hurriedly took another suit of armor out of nowhere before changing into it. After done, she uses restoration skill from a level 2 warrior job skill and all her wounds begin healed up instantly.

She approached Josep and questioned him about his technique. After a couple of minutes trying to avoid the question, they decided to continue their second spar.

Then, Josep gets another sword while the room already automatically fixes by itself from all the crack and sword cuts. They walk to the center again and ready their battle stance.

Now, they will do all-out battle spar. When they start, Gene immediately clad herself with mageforce [Lvl 3 - Sword Field] from the start. Josep feels some kind of mageforce surrounding her approximately 1 meter around her.

She kindly explains that anything entering it will get attacked instantly. This is a level 3 skill of sword master called [Sword Field]. Moreover, she also said that she cannot hold back by using this skill.

As she uses this technique, 'It seems she wants to counter my technique from before by using this [Sword Field]. But, doesn't it mean that she also cannot move from her spot.' Josep thinks about his teacher's skill weakness.

All of sudden her wooden sword lights up in a red glow and produces a burning energy sword arch toward Josep [Burning Wave].

The arch [Burning Wave] is coming so fast that Josep needs to use a little bit of [Lvl 2 - Stout] skill to boost his speed along with his strange footwork to dodge it. Using this momentum, he tried to enter her sword area range.

The moment he enters it, his body gets hit and flies back away hitting the wall before he could register what is actually happening.

He coughs some blood from mouth. As he tried to stabilize himself, he saw another red sword arch energy coming toward him. He dodges it by a hair breath and could still feel some of the heat from it. The heat managed to burn a little bit of his ragged protective armor.

She keeps releasing more sword arches. It's getting harder for Josep to dodge as she also predicts where he lands, dodge, or about to counterattack her.

Then, left with no choice, he tries to combine mageforce on his wooden sword to strengthen it [Lvl 1 - Energy Sword]. At first, his mageforce is so powerful that the sword couldn't hold it and produce some cracking but he controls it perfectly to make it become more stable.

During this moment, Another burning energy sword arc came toward him. He tried to cut it apart with his strengthened sword and dissipate them completely.

He tried to absorb and control some of the fire elements from [Burning Wave]. But, this act only lessens the [Burning Wave] power by miniscule.

His counter startled her a little bit. But, because of her experience she kept her calm and produced a stronger [Burning Wave]. Josep keeps counters on it. He feels the strength of each [Burning Wave] become stronger and heavy. It became harder to parry all of them.

Then, he jumps high in front of her sword area and ends high right on the top of her. She already predicted what Josep will do and know her own skill weakness.

When Josep was still in the midair, the air around him changed and became more heavy as he raised his sword up high with one hand.

At this moment, Gene also noticed this change and reacted quickly by building up her mage force to throw another high level skill while the sword arch on the way to Josep.

He descends from the air toward her, bringing down his sword that seems very heavy with one hand [Dragon Slash]. The strength of his sword dissipates all the [Burning Wave] and goes right through to her in an instant.

However, at this moment before he can hit her she speaks in some unknown language and her sword becomes so bright with some rune attached to it.

During her chanting, she parry Josep's sword. As his sword touches her, it begins breaking apart but she also loses her momentum while he keeps pushing her. At this instant, in front of her sword appeared a big spell diagram [Sword Blast].

From Josep's knowledge after reading so many books about magic yesterday, the bigger the spell diagram the bigger the effect.

He immediately tries to dodge sideways but the spell is already active first and hits him. Fortunately, he still can put his guard up and use all Gluttony's defend and restoration technique during the last moment.

The blast destroys the training ground while Josep slump down unconsciously and become very thin as the after effect of using Gluttony's restoration technique.

In the meantime, Gene's armor also once again breaks apart. Her mageforce also very chaotic and her body also shivers as she pushes her body limit by consecutively using high level skills and spells.

Later, she asked Moru to take him to his room as she dealt with the aftermath. She also cannot move her body after exhausting her mageforce. In total she used two skills with high mageforce consumption and one spell.
