Chapter 22 - 22 - tournament arc

. Oh, its mana control period. I've already trained to max potential, if I wanted to be able to do more, I needed to level up. So I just sat there and watch the class.

"UWOOOOOH, Emily chan's watching! Let's do our best and impress her!" (James)

"UOOOOOOH! " (Bran and carl)

Quickly, I looked away from that pack of sai⚪ans over there trying to ascend to the next stage. Mouuu, how embarrassing! And since when did James have friends? Guess I just never knew.

While those 3 were screaming in one corner, I proceed to look at the other side. "Hnghhh" "aaahn" "nnnnhn! Harder!"

Uhh, are 9 year olds suppose to make those kind of sounds? Well I won't complain and peacefully watch in bliss. ;>

"*sigh*huuuh, Emily-chan, I know you are strong but you still need to practice mana control..." (gorilla-sensei)

"I've already maxed it. Even if I haven't, you may be okay, but the students will suffocate in the condense mana, you know?"

"Fair enough, can I sit next to you and watch the students? I'm tired of standing."

(gorilla-sensei)He proceeds to sit before I answer. He got himself into this one...

"nee, if you just wanted to sit, why did you have to pick the one next to me?"

"... At this distance I can feel your aura oppressing me, and I admire strength." (gorilla-sensei)

"*sigh*huuh, are you a masochist?"

"..." (gorilla-sensei) proceeds to look down.

Did that do a lot of damage? He must be trying to find a better reason now, to justify his actions. Looks like he is conflicted inside. How amusing.

After that was combat practice matches. Is it just me or does it look like everyone is disappointed? Was everyone looking forward to the bloomers? Too bad~ After everyone gathered at the court, pervert sensei set up the matches for everyone. The goal was for everyone to finish 3 matches today. "Anddd start~"

Immediately my first match was against a melee type mage, he would use his staff in a similar style as a hammer and enhance himself with spells. "I'm level 70 you know? Haaah~ this won't even be a match."

"!..[Item reinforce-tier 2]![high Strength enhance - tier 2!]" whoah... Is he a prodigy? Using 2 tier 2 spells in a row. Then again, I'm a level 70 at the same age as him so It can't be compared... Can't be helped, I have a [sin] too after all, which lets me level up faster than others due to how powerful it makes me.

Well, guess I'll end the match now. He is charging at me way too slowly, I could dodge him in my base speed. Dodging to the side, I slided my legs under him and made him lose his balance. "ah! I.. couldn't.. Impress.. Emily-... Chan.... Urgh! " Just now... I heard something strange... I'll ignore it and pretend it never happened.

Welp, time for the next match. Dusting my dress and flicking my bangs to the side with a 'fuh', I proceeded to the match where my next opponent was at... Guess my match ended too fast. I earned myself some time to kill. Its not like watching and learning my opponents strategy will help me win, since I'm overwhelmingly faster, but I wanna feel like a cool main character... So let's watch. Ehh? Did he just wave at me? "BAKA, watch your own match and finish it before waving!"

"Its okay" (Random opponent C)

Ehhh?The one who said it was okay, was the opponent of my next opponent. Both of them stopped their match to wave at me... "Enough! Fight already!" A fire lit in both their eyes.

Both of them simultaneosly thought in their hearts... 'Emily-chan is supporting me!'. As if their lives were on the line, both of them screamed and fought with all their souls. "UUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Both of them happen to magic swordsman. Both used every move they learned in training, every experience they earned, even their battle instincts which should be dull from not having fought anything to the death before have suddenly sharpened, it was as if their battle instincts were sharp enough to cut paper and casted an aura over themselves.

A beautiful dance of sparks a metal was occuring on the match grounds. *Cling! **Klang!**Cling! *They both began by parrying from their rights respectively, then from the left and after from the right again but with more pressure since they were closer than when they first clashed. Should I sweep his leg? One of them thought. Is he gonna sweep my leg? The other thought seeing the other's iris move to the ground subconciously. I should do a feint!

The first one thought.Suddenly the other activated a skill "[item enhancement-sharp-tier2]!". Tensing his knee in case the first one sweeped, he swung his enhanced sword from the left. While the first one was swinging from the right, so he had the block from the front. *kikakika* The swords clattered. Due to the enhancement, the the second one's sword slided down and was about to strike but the first one had seen through it.

The moment it started sliding, he jumped backwards to escape. "[item enhancement-sturdy-tier2]!" (the first one)

As if they were back at the start, they ran up and clashed from their rights again. Sending all their strength, the second one used the sharpness of his sword to slide across and spin his body one round before apply force.

The first one used both his hands and swung overhead from the left blocking the blow from the front. A feirce blow resounded with pushed the wins. Emily's support! Emily's support! Was all that was going through their heads, it was as if they were berserkers acting on instinct alone. After 5 minutes they finally reached an end, finally the second one spun his sword vertically.

This caught the first one offguard. The vibrations from swords clashing forced the first one's hand to tremble and numb and after that the second one placed his sword at the first one's neck. "woooo!" The crowd cheered.

Now my turn to fight the my second opponent.
