Chapter 10 - Combat test

"Sovereign."

My code name had been called, as I walked to the stage I wondered about who I face because I had put down that I was skilled with all three forms of combat, I had finally gotten down to the stage but none of the instructors came forward, I was confused then, the door opened and out walked a tall woman then, she spoke: "Hello Sovereign, I am Guild master Natasha and I will be the to test you."

I shouted to myself 'Guild master!?' The other people who were signing up to the guild were also surprised, I asked the guild master "may I ask why the esteemed guild master is the one testing me?" She laughed "well if I didn't test James disciple what kind of person would I be?" Everyone behind me started whispering 'Does she mean the James?' 'My father couldn't even get him to train me.'

Natasha started talking again "Enough talk, it's time to test you." As she finished her sentence she pulled a long sword out of the scabbard, as she did this I too took out my weapons, a short sword and a dagger.

I spoke to the voice 'You deal with magic and tell me if anything comes to my blind spot while I deal with controlling my body.' The voices response was short [Like always.]

We got in a ready stance. Anna put her hand in the air and yelled 'start' as she threw it down.

I charged at her with my dagger ready to stab at her, she dodged but I wanted that, I stuck the dagger into the ground and used it to spin into a roundhouse kick 'NOW!' I screamed, the next moment multiple dirt pillars shot out and hit Natasha in the back pushing her forward right into the trajectory of the back of my foot.

Because she was caught off guard by the dirt pillars my heel connected with her temple, knocking her off balance and putting her into a daze, I used the momentum of the kick to try and slash her with my blades but she managed to block them with her sword.

I jumped back, now with a few meters between us I started circling her, "impressive trick, kid." She said while spitting out some saliva "but not enough." Once she said that strong gusts of wind started pushing me back and knocking my hood down.

The voice started speaking [wind magic.] I responded 'can you dispel it?' It replied [not fast enough.] I clicked my tongue 'guess we're doing this the hard way, add our own wind to try and counter it.' The voice just responded with mhm, a few moments later an even stronger gust of wind started pushing Natasha's wind back.

Natasha yelled "haha! Impressive kid!" but I didn't hear it, the wind was too strong, I started talking to the voice 'next add some fire we're making an inferno.' The voice questioned it [are you sure?] I responded 'she's not the guild master for nothing.' The voice once again responded with an mhm, in the next second fire started to take the place of the wind, making it very dangerous even for the people watching.

"How could he have so much magical power and the ability to use it?!" yelled Diane who was protecting everyone else from the inferno "he's overpowering the guild master? How? She's an A+ adventurer!" Max shouted.

[I have an idea.] The voice said to me 'what is it?' I questioned to which the voice responded [I will make a great bow with magic, with that, we should be able to shoot through the inferno and hit her.] I voiced my concern 'what if we miss?' as if I could hear the voice scoffing as it said [I don't miss.] in the next moment a bow started to generate.

Soon there was a pitch-black bow 2 meters high [next, the arrow.] The voice said with a hint of excitement, when the pitch-black arrow finished being generated it was about half the size of the bow, I put the arrow in place and tried to pull the string back, not even bothering to lift the bow(1) but I couldn't even pull the string back a few inches 'argh, I need strength enhancement.' I yelled to the voice [on it.] The voice said quickly.

Suddenly I felt great strength enter my body. I was finally able to pull the string back. the fire danced around me, fluttering my hood back on my head, the fire moved giving me a clear shot on Natasha, I stared at her feeling nothing but the overwhelming feeling of hate and anger, I released the magic arrow.
