Chereads / The Lost Dragon Soul / Chapter 7 - Refused Challenge

Chapter 7 - Refused Challenge

"Sorry but i refuse, i have some work to do and a training schedule made by my teacher so i really sorry, sir.(Why do i feel like déjà vu?)" I said.

"But why? I thought you like to fight anytime and i want to know my limits, so can you accept my challenge.(i want to know how strong he is when it comes to combat and is he that strong from the rumors. i can't even detect his level)" Deidara

"I really sorry but i refuse and my schedule is really tight, my teacher is very hard to deal with. I don't like to find my limit through challenges from any random people.(What a bother some person, i want to end this conversation early)" I said.

"Why not? It's just few minutes then were done, don't yeah think.(i really want to know about the rumor that he is rank silver level eight though i am only silver rank level nine)" Deidara said.

"Still no, i don't want to waste my minutes to fight you. I might as well scold by my teacher. (i am about to break through sooner or later and there is some problems about teacher's friend. His about to break through silver rank level ten and not half bad in magic spell but...)" I said.

"Thats right, my little student. Your just smart enough for my motive for the future.(though Ryuu doesn't know about that group)" Arashi said.

"Teacher?!(since when did teacher came here?)" I said while trembling.

"Principal?" Deidara said.

"Principal?! What are you doing here, sly fox?(why did i even say principal to my mortal foe? sly fox is really quick-witted when it comes to his beloved student and wife like before)" Borma said while flying above.

"Your the real sly fox and it's been twelve years, twelve days, fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes since we fought each other, right?" Arashi said.

"Yup and at that time we were only students about to graduate. Is that your one and only student?( he looks very thin and weak. My only problem is i can't even detect his student's rank and level though i am only rank titanium level one because of i can't break through to the next level)" Borma said while coming down.

"Yes, why?" Arashi replied.

"Are you sure to let him join the test? He really looks so weaker than at your age." Borma said.

"Yes. Just don't judge a person by its appearance and the same for books so don't left it unexplored or you'll regret it.(though my rank and level is beyond from what you know and i even tell a lie about it)" Arashi said.

BORMA [PoV]

There is really something about sly fox and his student. It seems that they were hiding some important information. Although the continent is small, each kingdom is lead by the most powerful family and each powerful family is lead by one person who is the most powerful in the whole continent. I bet Arashi doesn't know anything about his student. Sir Daichi is the leader of the dragon kingdom and the other is still unknown due to some reasons they like to hide from us. The information about the rank levels is limited to each kingdom, we only know about is the level one of bronze to level ten of titanium, the only person who knows is the leader among the leaders. Let's see who's the winner now, Arashi.

"Then maybe we should let them decide who is stronger. Btw the test last three months is canceled so tomorrow the test will start. Shall we see who is stronger between our students." Arashi said.

"Why so sudden?" i asked.

"Shall we see who'll win tomorrow's mach." Arashi said.

"Ok." I said.

Ryuu[PoV]

What are they talking about? Is it about tomorrow's combat test. I don't have the idea about this kind of fight and i won't go all out in the test. Teacher and sir Borma talk for few hours while the two of us trained. It looks like they have some sorts of relationship to each other but the way they talk about tomorrow's test, they look like enemies to each other. After few hours of talking, me and my teacher walk towards our training station to talk something urgent, while sir Borma stayed there and continue to train his student. Borma's student is a royal from the Pirari island that they once called Pirari kingdom. We walked for about one hour because of the long way to the training station that teacher bought the first day of our teacher and student relationship. The next day, most of the student are fired up in excitement to fight, each one of them has a enemy they want to defeat in front of their teacher. Every place is crowded by many peoples on the way to school. The test is about to start in the Acalenia magic school, many peoples are walking to each of their sits to watch our fight although this is a test and there is a reward for the top three strongest persons at school. As we walk many people saw us walking and other showed some respect to teacher, maybe he is the principal of this schools although he might look like a young boy almost the same age as mine but teacher is married to teacher Ashime at the age of 18. Why is my father is not here at school? It's been more than four months since the last time i talked to father. I hope he is safe. There is few hours before the combat test to start.

Arashi [POV]

Maybe i should lie about my student Ryuu's real family. Even his fake perents lied to him about the truth. Good thing Sebastian told me when Ryuu is still unconciouse at that time. All of his hard work is still worthless at this time of being, if he knew about the curse and his real perents, the curse might be his first lead about his real perents and what happened few hours before the war happened. Touka where are you? What happened at that time? Is Ryuu our son? Why did i treated Ryuu like a father in front of him? About the combat later, why do i feel so nervous about it?, he is my student and not my son as they know these days. Many things happened for the fast nine years, most of it is about my childhood friend, Touka. About the curse on my student might break out at any moment i see, the lost dragon soul is a lie made by his so called father to make him clam and strong enough to overcome the real thing happened and the truth behind the curse.

Ryuu[POV]

What is teacher thinking about? Teacher has been thinking for few hours, and few minutes left before the combat test to start. I've been courtiouse about the curse on me and the real story happened before. Many things happened and i haven't seen my dorm mates for three months, i hoped that they progress better than last time. They look like a puppy hungry for more learnings when the first time i've met them. But why do i felt something strange about my father? Why do i always thought of teacher as my father, he is the principal of this school.

"Ryuu, are you ready for the fight?" Arashi asked.

"I'm ready as ever, teacher.(but the place made me very nervous)" I said.

"Good, let's fight for the pride and glory." Arashi said.

"Yeah!! (wait, why did teacher Arashi said "let's fight for the pride and glory" this is just a test within our school.)" I said.

"Young master, how is your training?" Sebastian asked.

"It's ok as far as i see. How is my father?" I asked.

"About master, i still can't tell you young master. Sorry, because i've promised master to keep a secret from you no matter what."Sebastian said.

"But i want to know about ..." I said and suddenly.

"ALL COMBATANT PLEASE GET READY FOR THE FIGHT." The announcer said.

"Teacher, i'll get ready for the fight." I said and then i walk to the combatant's room.

"Ok then." Arashi said.

As i walk towards the combatant's room, the hallway is gloomy and scary. I put my hand on my poket while walking, the door on my left has the lable of the room i needed to enter. So i entered inside, the room has 21 peoples inside, one of them has a weird clothes, other has a spikes on his head. My clothes is simple, color blue long sleeve, a white jacket with a golden dragon painted on my left arm, a pants with different shades of color blue and a shoe made up of leather. Adari wears a plain red long sleeves and black shorts. Tsuriya is wearing a t-shirt and a jeans looks like an archery clothes, color green. Harushi wears a clothes looks like a mage who wears a long sleeves, gloves, a jeans and shoes made up of leather. Harushi, Tsuriya and Adari walk towards me.
