"So who's going to take Harti to the infirmary and who's going to stay for the test?"
I look at Hilda to see her reaction and she is smiling it is a smile with a hint of madness I know she likes fighting a lot I am not making a negative comment I also like fighting a lot and a lot of fun of course our difference today and that i'm not so excited about fighting Professor Balder i have a slight impression that at the end of the test i won't have my swords anymore, but even so i still have a slight impression that she is a little too excited
"Well, it looks like Hilda is going to take the test and I'm going to take the garbage to the infirmary, but try to get the nation to finish the test very quickly because I want to see the fight."
I pick up Harti and put him on my shoulder and head towards the infirmary, but when I passed Hilda she stopped me and whispered a thank you to me I just smiled in response it was not a good time to play with her.
I do n't want to be stabbed before the test starts.
I run without caring about Harti who moaned in pain in my shoulder it took me a few minutes to drop him on one of the infirmary beds and make my way back when he leaves the infirmary I swear I could hear one of the nurses or Plato's doctor scream for me to stop maybe she wants to ask me what happened to Harti , but i don't have time to spend explaining what happened to her i don't want to miss Hilda's test.
When I checked the training ground I was shocked, but it was not because of the fight itself but because Hilda was not using her two-handed sword but a flexible spear that she wielded with her right hand and she had a blue buckler stuck in her left forearm I was surprised by this combination I had never seen Hilda wear anything but a two-handed sword.
Both the spear and the buckler are not common, both are magic tools. I realize that right away by the amount and mana and elementary energy that they have the spear and composed of materials from the element Wind and Water, since the buckler only had the element Water.
Hilda was dancing around the teacher, her footwork was very familiar, it had the same function and characteristic of the movement art of the element Wind that I use in combat, but it was still clearly different because her quality was superior because she not only had the characteristics of the Wind element as well as the Water element that made her movements much more fluid than mine she lost very little momentum when she changed direction if it were a simple movement competition I would lose badly against Hilda.
Hilda was attacking with thrusts at different angles each movement left a blue trace behind it was the water element concentrated at the tip of the spear her body was enveloped by a current of Wind that helped her bend her body I could see in the face that the material that was used on the body of the spear it was of high quality and very elastic .
Some of Hilda's movements looked as if the spear would break so much that she doubled the strength of each stock maintained the same pattern of strength.
Hilda's skill with spear and phenomenal I wonder why she was using a two-handed sword before?
The fight seemed to be at an impasse but this only happened because Professor Balder was testing Hilda's skill limit his speed was getting faster and faster even without attacking Hilda he was pushing her back even deflecting every blow from Hilda's spear the teacher was cornering Hilda and from her face she realized that her lovely face was formed by frustration, anger and a hint of shame it was clear how the day the duel was not being fun for Hilda she was so excited just to be frustrated now.
Hilda's spear was glowing with the energy of the water element, more suddenly she burst into a lighter blue with my eyes I could see that the energy of the wind element had been injected into the tip of the spear the union of the elements I create the composite element Ice Hilda's spear left behind a trail of light even though it was several meters away from them I could feel the cold air that was coming out of the spear.
But even with the increased spear power Hilda still couldn't hit the teacher, she changed her thrusting movement to a sweep with a spear, but the teacher jumped up on the trajectory of the spear and punched her with a very violent punch in his hand it was no small response to the punch Hilda raises the buckler that lights up in the same color as the spear Hilda created a type of ice shield on top of the buckler.
Ice was broken bedridden Hilda was pushed back over his stance was firm to block the teacher's attack this is a good buckler to get block that punch without having been a mark on the surface of it.
More Hilda was not so lucky with the next combined kick and punch of the teacher this is the first time that I see the teacher using a combo of movements even though they were simple.
Hilda stopped the punch, but the kick hit her in the stomach and threw her backwards. Her spear stopped on the ground a few meters from Hilda who was spitting a lot of blood. I went to her and saw her smiling. it was very strange seeing Hilda's face between pain and happiness when she coughed a little more blood was strangely funny.
"Do you need help Hilda or are you going to be laughing on the floor?"
"Evil I am hurt and you take advantage of my Ulric you and evil."
"I would believe I sweat badly if you were n't smiling."
I help her touch a tree by touching it. I feel that she must have broken at least one rib and cracked a few more, but she is neither stable nor has a serious internal injury.
"Right now and it is my turn to take a beating from the teacher try not to pass out if you are not going to miss the chance of seeing me caught."
I move away from Hilda but I see clearly that she is eager to see my fight she really wants to see me get beaten up by the teacher.
"Well, Ulric, I didn't expect you to end up as the last of the test. I'm really excited about the fight that we are going to have now. Try to last a little bit, okay?"
I don't think there is much reason for the teacher to try to scare me anymore, I am already very scared because I know that I will come out very hurt from this test.
I wield my sword on the right and my long dagger on the left I already have my elemental aura and energy circulating through my body.
"Are the rules the same as I start attacking?"
"No!"
I was scared .
"New rule is the first movement and mine."
Professor Balder fires at a very high speed and pulls out his sword that was bathed in all the previous tests because he hates me so much?
" Really ?"
I intercepted the teacher's sword that was surrounded by aura. I used a good part of my aura and had created an elementary coating of fire and wind on it. I barely managed to stop the teacher's attack.
After the teacher's first move he attacked me again with his sword I had to drop my sword and had to use both my hands to be strong enough to stop the teacher's attack.
The test had turned into a sword fight after the fourth shock I realized one thing only the teacher's speed increased the strength of the attacks not so to answer the teacher's challenge I concentrate my wind element around my arms and legs leaving only a fine flow of wind through the rest of my body on my sword only the fire element remains I use in the form of the Red Blade art.
A duel marked by the shocks of a red blade against a normal blade the professor's aura was only strengthening the sword's durability and not trying to break mine if he used his aura to attack me my sword would have been cut in half in his first move.
Despite the appearance of balance since I was imitating the teacher's movements, I concentrated completely to predict the teacher's touches.
I lost track of time I was completely focused on imitating the movements of Balder teacher I had not even realized that the aura flow and Wind element had changed the speed of my sword was identical to the same teacher when she was overtaken my top speed .
I only woke up from my extreme focus state when my sword was cracking when I heard it cracking I realized it wasn't going to last long I didn't even know how many attacks I had blocked, but now I'm on the edge my body is burning inside I never felt this intensity before it was several times bigger than I feel when I push my limits normally.
I transfer my wind element from the arms to the blade and attack in a lunge aiming at the teacher's neck he seems surprised by the change in my movements before I was just imitating him and now I move on to the suicide offensive, but Professor Balder bypasses my attack and cut me his sword was coming towards me but i didn't stop the tip of my sword passed very close to the professor's neck, but without him noticing the elemental energy in my sword he created a wind blade at the edge of my blade it came out only a few inches from the sword but it was enough to cut the professor's neck before his sword hit me.
When the teacher felt the wind blade created by the Invisible Blade art it was too late she hit her neck filling, but obviously it broke when touching her neck there was no way my elemental blade could cut the teacher the aura that flowed inside the his body was strong enough to block a direct attack from me so a blade that would have at most sixty percent of my strength from the strongest attack would not scratch the teacher's skin.
I closed my eyes because there was nothing to make the teacher's sword hit me there , but when I didn't feel the pack I saw it a few centimeters from my stop.
"Congratulations Ulric, you were able to hit me. It doesn't happen in a long time or I remember when the last time I was hit by a student who didn't even complete the first year of study you passed the test."
I tried to move me and talk as a teacher, but when trying to do this I saw the ground approached min quickly only when I hit him I realized I had dropped my vision went black and I heard nothing.
My world has darkened.
