Chapter 18 - Chapter 17- Selection Matches 2

Standing in ring 1 Ryuji had his two daggers at the ready fully focused. While his opponent a C-rank Tank is just leisurely standing there with a smile on his face, not taking this fight seriously at all.

His opponent started looking around laughing at him trying to taunt and get into his head. Calling him the 'weakest', ' loser' all kinds of mean and hurtful words, he was doing whatever he could to rattle him and make him forfeit. Ryuji on the other hand was already used to this kind of harassment and didn't pay it any mind he just stared coldly at his opponent ready to fight.

The referee seeing this, didn't waste any time and asked them both if they were ready to go.

"Are you both ready to fight."

"Yes."- Ryuji

"Hehe you should of forfeit loser, yeah I'm ready."

The referee hearing that they were ready signaled the start of the match "Fight".

The Tank charges at him with his shield fully out, and starts to push Ryuji into the corner. Ryuji jumped into the air over him to get behind him doing a flip in the air. Landing behind him he quickly slashes with his dagger at his opponents back leaving a small wound.

His opponent grunted at the pain from the attack but than quickly turned around and hit him with his shield in the chest, shoving him back a few feet. Ryuji covers his chest and powers through the pain as that attack although it was with a shield and blunt was packed with a ton of power behind it.

Collecting himself Ryuji stared viscously at his opponent who was still laughing and not taking him serious at all still.

Focusing his mind and fixing his daggers in his hands he swoops back in attacking once again. This time doing three strikes at the same time in the span of 3 seconds. His opponent fell to he floor with his armor damaged and a bit of blood leaking form is mouth.

The Tank gets up pissed off and glares at Ryuji now with respect and intent to kill him now. He gathers up his mana in two spots one on his sword and the last one he uses for his taunt skill, which every Tank class has. The reason he is able to simultaneously gather his mana into two different areas is because he ha a lot of mana for a Tank class.

Using two skills at the same time shook Ryuji to his core, he felt the taunt skill pull him in to focus solely on his opponent and not his surroundings as his vision zeroed in on him.

As he suddenly rushed forward the Tank used his sword skill of "Heavy Strike" and started attacking Ryuji who's movements were slowed. Taking a few blunt hits from his sword breaking a couple bones. Causing him to cough up blood.

Clenching his wounds in pain as more blood is being coughed up, only about two minutes remain till the fight is over so he needs to think of something when he suddenly has a calm wave wash over him.

He regains his focus as he breaks the taunt skill which shocks the Tank because he could feel it lose its effect. Ryuji than opens his closed eyes that were enjoying the calm, his eyes were no longer the normal humans they were blood red with a yellow vertical slit, like a reptiles eye.

The Tank saw this and instantly took a step back in fear much to the audiences surprise as they didn't know why he did that even the referee didn't know why as he couldn't see Ryuji's eyes.

Before the Tank even knew what was going on, Ryuji moved so fast that he couldn't comprehend it.

When Ryuji opened his eyes he felt power and speed like he never felt before but he also felt that his body was very getting more and more tired as well as the time on the fight is coming to an end with only a minute left. So he readied his knives and moved striking the Tank faster than he ever moved before ending the fight.

When Ryuji finished his attack he was on the other side of the ring and his opponent hasn't moved from his spot. The next second he screams out in pain "AAggghhhh" his armor cracks and shatters and he falls to the ground passing out from the pain.

Winning the match.

After the fight the referee and some of the Tanks buddies who were cheering for him went silent not knowing what to say, everyone thought that it was going to be over in 30 seconds since his opponent was the weakest in the school but to watch as he lasted so long and then actually one and shattered his armor with his last strike rendered them speechless.

Ryuji didn't waste any time with them and quickly went back to his seat where Mako was, sat down and than fell asleep. Waiting for his next match.
