Chapter 11 - Young Paladin

Irina's hand held a glowing sword. Little fingers gripped the sword, and Irina could feel the power flowing through her inner veins. Then, Irina pointed the blade at the opponent in front of her.

"Your name?" Irina said.

"I am Ernest Mauler from the Swordsman school. Nice to meet you," Ernest said as he drew his sword from its scabbard.

"Usually people like you, would kneel down and beg for mercy. However, for a shameless person like you, I will make you feel what hell is on earth. "

"Hmph!! Kneel? My honor as a swordsman will never let me do that. Your words are just the imagination of someone who abused his family's power. I won't lose. "

Then after a while and their eyes sharpened, Irina lowered her sword. The moment the blade touched the surface and a whitish blue magic circle shot out from it. Complex circuits began to fill the surface forming a kind of circle three meters wide.

There Irina sighed softly. Then-

A super strong wind pressure, forming a kind of dense air layer that spreads into the sky.

The surface of the concrete that Irina stepped on, is now starting to crack forming surface cavities. After the cracks in the ground spread more and more, Pebbles then floated around Irina.

[Passive Skill Activate]

The strong wind due to the pressure of the aura emitted by Irina, made the magic circle that was below, now disappear.

At that moment, Irina sighed softly.

"Slandering Darling, is a sin that I will never forgive. "

After that sentence rattled the air on the surface, Irina then bent down while aiming the blade with a posture like trying to stab.

The shockwave from the sudden explosion, created a horizontal trajectory capable of splitting the air left and right. The surface of the Arena that was passed by the strong wind, formed a kind of small crack that rose upwards.

Like a bullet, instantly the speed of Irina's boost skill brought her right in front of Ernest.

The sound of swords colliding now shook the air. Irina's direct attack was now blocked by Ernest's sword.

Ernest stepped on the ground, then cracked and scattered pebbles into the air. White light from the sky began to illuminate the view, from there a bright purple aura coated Irina's sword.

Blinded and made anyone but Ernest unable to open his eyes at all.

"—ehhhh.. You seem quite talented," Irina said.

"Thank you, I can't believe I have to fight a paladin at my age," Ernest replied.

Irina's sword pressure grew harder, from there the deep purple light became more and more dazzling. The blades touched each other, but it seemed that they were then slightly bent.

Just as Ernest's sword hit the ground, Irina's attack was bent.

The surface of the Arena that was hit by Irina's sword slashes, created a large hole that expanded to the wall.

If Ernest couldn't bend it, he might be torn in two and his life would be over.

This wasn't a duel of fellow academy students anymore, but rather a battlefield on the ground. Irina's emotions as well as her anger seemed like she couldn't take it anymore.

Ernest then jumped to keep his distance.

"You are serious, abusing the power bestowed by the goddess, how rotten you Elites are," Ernest said in an angry tone.

Then after he positioned himself, a magic circle started to form behind Ernest's back. Complicated and very complex writings, now rotate to form a kind of different size. It was no longer an ordinary magic circle, but a magic circle possessed by those who had a very strong concentration of holy magic power.

After the circle behind Ernest stopped turning, the circle then lengthened like a pair of binoculars being pulled by someone. As the circle shrunk, Ernest's Sword began to glow.

It was dazzling white while emitting a kind of light bubble that floated in the air.

"HIAAAA!!!!" Ernest shouted.

He then ran towards Irina with a glowing sword in hand.

Irina saw that, and she started to position herself. Grasping the sword tightly, then shot forward.

Two purple and white lights now collided. The shockwave that was generated from the hit, made the surrounding air layer crash in all directions.

Irina and Ernest looked at each other hatefully, their swords clashed and began to launch a barrage of attacks.

As time passed, anyone who saw it would never know how many attacks Irina exchanged against Ernest.

Each swing was faster than the speed of sound, deceiving the eye, where the bright light from the impact didn't make any sound. But after the light dissipated, a deafening loud sound began to sound and tore the air apart.

Getting louder and louder, sound waves and light waves don't show a solid harmony. It was as if they were two different waves traveling in different dimensions.

Even though the sparks of light created a counter attack pattern, but it seemed— The constant spectrum didn't apply.

"Commoner, I admit that you are indeed great. But it seems our power gap is very clear. I will win and you will lose. It's a fact you should have realized from the start." Irina said that.

However it seems that Irina's opponent, doesn't care what she says

"Justice will always win, and evil will always lose," Ernest said.

[Activate Skills]

The magic circle re-formed, in an instant, it got bigger and then smaller again. Ernest's Sword of Light then enlarged.

"Stupid, trying to strengthen the defensive wall, it will be useless," Irina said with a triumphant smile.

[Activate Skills]

The purple aura from Irina's sword instantly disappeared, as if it had been swallowed up in the air and had never existed in the first place. Then, Irina tightened her grip and started slashing. The shockwave then spread out in all directions.

The clash of the Light sword with the auraless sword, at a glance determined who the real victor was. But all of that was wrong—
