Sitting listening to the reports was boring, he sighed, his hand still holding the half-baked barbecue and shaking it in front of him.
-Dear Sir! We lack a aquatic system.
-Huh!? Where was the first one?
-Dead because of exhaustion. And the rest of the kids are about to reach their limit.
-Well! Useless!
He got angry, burned the meat with black magic and threw the bottle of wine on the floor. The servants around him could not help but be afraid. Suddenly someone tapped his shoulder, and in this place no one dared to touch a finger with him, let alone clap his shoulder, but the name he called a loyal guard was different.
-Oh Rozath, welcome back.
-He, you're always as angry as usual, Diaz. But I have a good idea, want to hear?
-What's up?
He brought his ear closer to hear what Razath wanted to say. After hearing him laugh, his laughter echoed throughout this vast cave.
It's annoying, I thought to myself, still feeling nervous anxiously standing in front of the crowd, it was really difficult to get used to this. But I had to try to be calm anyway so the two sides wouldn't know. In front of me now is the person who is said to be the strongest swordsman in the southern school, the third year student, Futoshi. I observed that his sword is the same type of sword as I am, only that near the end of his sword there is a short bend, which looks quite interesting. Although he drew his sword, it seemed that he thought like me, waiting to see what the opponent was going to do before advancing. Perhaps the audience is complaining now because the two idiots want to turn this tournament into a joke.
Finally, I have to attack first.
It might not be the right time, but I decided to try the skill I practiced for the past month, or rather, it was a trick. Stabbing my sword hard into the ground, I used magic to form a circle of fire covering myself with the people around me, then slashed a large trail of fire towards Futoshi. But he was not surprised by that, with just a single slash, it vanished and became a great cloud of smoke moving slowly behind him. Without hesitation, I bent down slightly and used "it".
-Hello!
Surfing behind him, I jumped up and took a slash diagonally from above.
-Clush!
The body split in half, blood splattered everywhere, then swung the sword again to scatter all the blood on it and dive into the ground.
This is the last one, Gaido-sensei sighed, looking at the Logish monster. It was a dark blue-black monster with six limbs, four limbs to move and two limbs full of claws that grew on its back to attack. In addition, its teeth also have two sharp fangs too long than the chin, about 20 cm.
The surroundings were now full of monster corpses, at a glance at approximately three dozen. After the dark period, the monsters almost dare to come out of their hidden caves. So why so much? Or rather, since the person appeared, the number of monsters as well as the small magician's attacks increased rapidly. Is the appearance of medicine is the point of the return of "everyone knows who" or worse? Trying to stop thinking about this, the teacher still tried to keep his faith in him.
-Assist! Help me!
Running to was a man wearing a ragged civilian outfit, his face pale with fear.
-What's up?
Putting his sword up, Gaido-sensei walked towards the man.
-The flood ... monsters are coming here!
-Monster?
Although he had used magic to search the number of monsters in the direction the person pointed, but strangely, there was nothing there.
-Hey! Brother...
-Clush!
The short blade was drawn in a split second to Gaido-sensei. Despite the timely reaction, the blade also left a scratch on his hand.
-You are ... dark magician?
-Pingo! And you must be Gaido, who was called the black magician hunter.
-He, that's the name, that's right. How many of you have left out here.
After saying that, coming out of the bush or behind the big tree, came out the black cloaked cloaked man. It was estimated that there were ten men, all of them were not detected by the magic detecting that their hiding ability was very good.
These must be the assassins in the guild.
-Let's have fun ... hunter!
Every sword was intercepted, from the beginning of the match up to now, neither of them had a scratch on his body or his clothes even though he was soaked with sweat.
-Really ... the first years are full of surprises.
-You are so complimented.
-Nothing is "too" here at all, although a bit late, but I hope you hit your best.
-This is the same.
Futoshi's sword suddenly lights up, this is the first time since the beginning of the match until now he uses magic. Perhaps he is serious now, I thought to myself, decided to use full concentration, or rather, as Gaido-sensei corrected me, to use the large amount of magic power poured into my brain. Once again, my senses removed the surrounding objects one by one, feeling unimportant, now around like an infinite space and the only material existing here is us. . My eyes, ears, and head felt like they were being torn apart, at least to make up for that, for me, Futoshi-san's movement was very slow. By the time he was still in a position to bring the sword to his shoulder, I charged to attack. The weight on my feet is no longer a problem for me because I spent hours and hours running early in the morning using this technique for months.
-But that's not enough.
It was as if I had just communicated with him with just my mind, after the sentence a bunch of slashes appeared on me and removed me from that state.
-What ...
-You just put magic power on your brain to speed up reflexes, right?
The pain made me not want to answer but just nodded.
-Sorry, but it can't match the speed of light.
The speed of light? What is it? If this was not a match, I would probably ask Futoshi-sensei to teach it as a student listening to my teacher. But I guess it's the fastest speed at first, because it's light, right? Stopping the ambiguous thoughts in my mind, I tried to stand up but the wounds above did not allow me to do that.
-It's over.
Despite being surrounded by dozens of the strongest ranks of the black magician's guild, Gaido-sensei still frantically resisted the defeat of some, while only slightly rubbing himself.
-As expected of a hunter, you really are hard to defeat.
-Well! The hounds are equally annoying to you.
-Oh, too commended.
He pulled the sword back and hung it on the waist at his hip and pulled out a small watch from his pocket.
- It's been ten minutes. What a pity.
-Ten minutes? Could it be ... Huh!
The teacher's head suddenly hurt like a hammer, the scene before his eyes became strangely distorted. Then realized it, the knife was initially poisoned.
-You might know it, it's Kinausia poison, don't worry, it won't kill you and neither will we. Good night.
-Do it!
No matter how hard he tried, all the swinging things became a joke for them, like a drunkard trying to walk. Everything before his eyes gradually became dim and then darkened.
Just taking a step forward, Mr. Futoshi dropped to his knees and vomited blood. In the end, due to excessive blood loss, he collapsed right in front of me. The sight made me so scared and so scared that my hands and feet were trembling and unable to move.
What just happened?
