Chapter 55 - The academy entrance exam

Arianna sits in the stands watching a blue haired man fight. His opponent is completely armored. she looks on with boredom.

"None of the candidates so far are much to write home about."

She says sighing into her arms while leaning over the railing. then a voice echoes to her right.

[???] Isn't today supposed to be the day?"

Ariana smiles at the newcomer " hi Sarah I didn't know you'd be looking at the new arrivals today too."

"Well you have been talking about the guy for the whole year. saved you from that awful Duke raidens boy. your knight in shining armor."

Ariana starts to pout "You would understand if you met him. he's just different you know what I mean?"

Sarah laughs a bit "well he's supposed to be here today right? isn't he also supposed to be your guard?"

Arianna exhales then answers.. "Yeah he's supposed to be but I don't see him anywhere."

Sarah shrugs then looks down to the contestant area where she sees a person in a cloak.

"Hey maybe that's your man there." she says pointing at the person in the cloak."

Arianna shakes her head " that person has twin swords at his hip. He uses gauntlets to fight with."

Sarah glances at the person " do you feel the aura coming off that person. it's like walking through a fog. they feel dangerous I hope nothing goes wrong."

The man sitting next to them speaks up " it doesn't matter who this person is he won't be able to beat me in a competition of strength."

Arianna turns frowning " I didn't know you were going to fight the contestant professor skye."

Skye answers back with a attitude like he's already won. " I am a s rank adventurer very few are above me. let alone a student. speaking of which why haven't you two answered my proposal yet?"

They both just look at him until Arianna responds " why should we settle for an old geezer whose weak?"

Sarah shakes her head " I am already promised to another." that's my reason as to why. also your a teacher, and we are students."

Skye responds clicking his tongue "It's time you will see when I fight I win always. maybe then you will change your mind."

Skye enters the arena waiting for his opponent. soon in the stands Arianna is greeted by a strange sight. her father king ragnur approaches her.

"Hello my dear Arianna how are you?" Arianna jumps into the kings arms. there are at least 10 soldiers around.

"Father why are you here?"

Ragnur responds gloatfully " I had a shadow guard checks the entrance sign ins reiji has signed in. so I am here to see him. I haven't seen him in a few months."

Arianna's eyes widen " what do you mean a few months? haven't you had people in contact with him?"

Ragnur laughs heartily " ahahahaha well well is someone worried? Maybe I should ask reiji if he wants you as a bride as well."

Arianna punches the king in the arm as he chuckles. Skye looks on furious he may be older but he's only thirty. why are they treating him like he's an ancient geezer.

The announcer calls out for reiji.

Calling reiji hashimya. reiji hashimiya report to test ring c.

Reiji hasn't come yet skye stands there looking smug.

"Probably too scared to face a teacher hahaha." a voice comes from his side.

"I'm here"

Skye looks at him sizing him up both are about the same height. skye is 6'2 reiji is 6'4 so he doesn't lose out for height. reiji has a scar down his cheek, and on his arm. reiji holds no weapons. skye grumbles out a few things. Reiji looks on wondering what's going on.

skye sighs looking at him. "You aren't worthy to attend at this prestigious academy. you brought no weapons you look shabby so you probably can't pay the tuition. To top it off you looks too young."

Reiji shakes his head "Don't get me wrong I'd bring out my weapons, but...you aren't worth me using one. To the statement about being shabby you would too if you spent the last few months in a dungeon fighting monsters."

skye bites down hard starting to yell " You foolish child you can't possibly be serious. There is no way you were in a dungeon. Dungeons require strength beyond a mere student."

Rriji shrugs "Just start the test, or are you afraid?"

Skye stomps his feet cracking the arena.

"Fine let's get this over with. then at least princess Arianna might choose to accept my proposal."

Reiji laughs " hahahaha in your dreams."

Skye rushes reiji pulling a giant club from his back smashing down where reiji was. His eyes blink quickly. he didn't even see reiji move.

Reiji is behind him scratching his cheek" look teach no offense but.. You are really weak."

Skye stomps both his feet. jumping into the air spinning around pointing his club downward spinning. "Skill [Typhoon smash]

[???] You fool using that on a possible student.

Reiji raises his hand [White emperors fist] he jumps grabbing the teacher holding onto the teachers wrist. that slowly stops the spin, and his skill. reiji spins in the air tossing skye to the ground hard. the huge muscle bound skye faints. Reiji mutters [Air step]

Reiji is now on the ground. the cloaked person holding the twin blades runs over to him. taking off her hood. it's Lilith she starts chatting with reiji. Arianna's eyes widen again.

Sarah chuckles " Seems your knight in shining armor saves you again."

Arianna stomps her foot staring at her father.

Ragnur sits stroking his chin.

"So you have found your strength again."

he smiles walking off." The referee calls the winner. reiji hashimiya wins he is automatically accepted into the academy.

The view point switches to Ragnur's. he is looking at the fight that just ended. His eyes glow as he says " [analyze]. his eyes widen as he smiles. This..is.. how in a few months did he get like this." Switching back to reijis viewpoint.

Reiji walks off the arena now fixed by a earth attribute caster. Skye rushes behind reiji, but reiji doesn't bother moving behind skye Lilith appears holding two swords using the hilt she strikes skyes neck. Skye is taken away by the schools disciplinary committee while reiji just walks towards ragnur.
