"Ultimate..."
Erica called out.
"Warrior...?"
Emily finished with a perplexed look.
Only Kashi would understand that Ary had levelled up into an Ultimate Warrior.
"Ding!"
As expected, Almita made a dinging sound, reporting,
"That's good."
With a confidential voice, Ary claimed, then he glared at Kashi, asking,
"So, then. Shall we?"
Kashi smiled at him, saying,
"Ready when you're."
The silence arose for a minute, and in the next moment,
CLASH!
BOOOOOOOOM!
At a swift speed, both clashed.
The sound of metal rumbled down the side, with shockwaves spreading all over the area.
"Not bad."
While thrusting his blade forward, Kashi commented.
"Thanks to your supervision."
Ary replied while equally thrusting the blade forward.
Then, they both jumped backward.
Kashi twisted his right body a little backward while backing his blade, saying,
"Wind blade—4th aspect!"
Then, he swung his blade at Ary.
The rapid wind flashed at Ary.
Ary smiled, then swung his blade, saying,
"Lifeforce Assimilation—Water Caster!!"
Then, a tornado of water flashed at the rapid wind, and unexpectedly, an explosion happened.
"Hiyaaa!!"
While piercing the smoke, Kashi jumped at Ary while swinging his blade.
"Ngh!"
Ary reacted as he jumped, and Kashi's blade hit the ground and ended up creating a pit.
"Haaaaa!!"
Ary swung his blade at Kashi.
CLINK!
Kashi defended himself with the handle of his blade.
Then, they again jumped backward.
They seemed to have a tough fight. However, Erica, Mike, Emily, and Mary, on the other hand, were perplexed to see their combat.
While pointing his left index finger at Ary, Mike asked,
"Hey, guys. Does anyone of you know what's with this purple aura around bro?"
"No idea..."
Emily replied while Erica and Mary were glaring at them.
Ary jumped higher.
Kashi glared at him from the ground.
While swinging his blade, Ary roared,
"Cosmic Shower—Strike of Extinction!!!"
And about seven to ten types of plasma beams covered in different lights flickered at Kashi.
"Hmph."
Kashi swung his blade and yelled,
"Water Blade—Strike of Devastation!!!"
And seven strikes of water turned into a dragon.
"RAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!"
While roaring, the strikes flashed at Ary.
"Tsk!!"
Ary clicked his tongue and by using quick speed, he flashed back at the dragons, screaming,
"Lifeforce Assimilation—Dark Scar of Death!!!!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
He managed to decapitate the four dragons, and yet another three attacked him.
"Wha—?!"
He reacted, but before he could do any further.
The dragons engulfed him and, in the next moment,
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A supermassive explosion happened.
"Ary!!/Bro!!"
Erica, Emily, Mary, and Mike yelled in panic.
"Hmmm..."
Yet Kashi didn't react but gazed at the area of the explosion.
Swoosh!
The smoke disappeared and Ary was seen, flying in the sky with a blue flame of recovery around him.
He used flamal recovery exactly at the time when the explosion happened.
"Hmph. He's sure a smart one."
Kashi said, while putting his blade back into the scabbard and folding his arms.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, Almita made a dinging noise, reporting,
"Heh!"
Ary reacted as he jumped to the ground.
Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!
Erica, Emily, Mary, and Mike breathed sighs of relief after seeing Ary safe and sound.
Thud!
With a thud, Ary landed on the ground.
He gazed at Kashi, asking,
"Senior, Is it possible to learn about that attack that you did just now?"
Kashi smiled at him, saying,
"Yes, it is. But for this, you have to strengthen your water element first."
"Water element? Oh, yeah. I actually don't know the stats of my elements."
Ary reported.
"Oh, is that so?"
Kashi reacted by lifting his right eyebrow.
"Yeah."
Ary replied while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Ary, are you okay?"
Suddenly, Erica and others arrived there.
"Ah, yeah."
Ary replied with a smile.
Cough!
Kashi coughed so that Ary focus on him.
"Hmm?"
Ary reacted while shifting his gaze to Kashi.
"Okay. Since you don't know your element—"
"We'll check this out, right, Kashi?"
"...?!"
Kashi's expression changed to shock as he jumped forward, and while taking out his blade from his scabbard, he pointed his blade where he was standing, commanding,
"Who is there—?!"
But suddenly he halted as he saw someone familiar.
Creak!
He put his blade back into the scabbard, commenting,
"Don't surprise me like this, Mai. I may end up decapitating you."
"Oh my~"
The lady reacted in a playful voice.
In front of Kashi and others stood a lady known for her beauty.
Mai Shinikani was the ultimate warrior of the neighbouring realm beside Kashi.
She had long blonde hair and a pair of crimson eyes. From her appearance, she looked like a lady in her early 25s, the same age as Kashi. Her skin was fair as snow, and she had an attractive, sexy body.
She was wearing a red astral dress with a blade attached to her right waist.
"Oh my, you are training your juniors?"
Mai asked as her eyes fell on Ary.
"Yeah, but now you come here to disturb us."
Kashi replied with a dull-eyed expression.
He got annoyed when she arrived.
Well, Kashi had his reasons for annoyance. Mai always teased Kashi and used to flirt with Kashi, which made Kashi annoyed as hell.
It was because of Kashi's cool temperament that he didn't beat Mai for her teasing nature, but he did get annoyed whenever she appeared in his realm.
"Oh, Kashi. You're rude as always~"
Mai said in her smoky tone while placing her right index finger on her lips.
"Um, Senior. Who is she?"
Ary, who was watching this conversation, asked while looking at Ary.
Sigh!
Kashi sighed, then, while showing his right palm at Mai, he introduced her,
"She's Mai Shinikani, an Ultimate Warrior. She was the owner of the neighbouring realm."
In a dull voice, Kashi introduced her.
His voice was showing no interest at all.
"Well, let's ignore her and get back to training."
Kashi said as he stepped forward.
"Hey, Kashi!"
Mai stopped him by embracing his right hand, saying,
"You're being rude. It's been ages since I last came here—"
"Don't mock me. You came here on the day before yesterday."
"My my, You know everything about me, don't you?"
Mai said while pressing her boobs against Kashi's hand.
"Tsk."
While clicking his tongue, Kashi diverted his attention, saying,
"I don't have time for you. Don't you see that I have my juniors to train?"
"Hmm?"
Mai reacted as her gaze shifted to the girls.
A playful smile formed on her face. She said,
"I see."
Then, she released Kashi's hand, saying,
"I have a good idea about it."
"Hmm?"
Kashi reacted as if he had already got a wrong feeling about it.
"No, don't tell me—"
But before Kashi could continue, while clapping her hands, Mai commented,
"I'll train the girls while you take care of the boys."
Sigh!
While placing his right hand over his face, Kashi sighed.
He knew that arguing about this matter with Mai was just as wasteful as wasting time.
That's why, with a weary expression, he glanced at Mai, saying,
"Do whatever you want. Just don't get in my way."
"Got it~"
With the same smoky tone, Mai cheered up.
"But first."
Kashi said as he raised his right palm in the mid-air, calling,
"Elemental sensor!"
And a hologram type of seal appeared in the mid-air.
Kashi glanced at Ary and others, commenting,
"Check your elemental stats."
"Okay."
Ary and the others replied.
Mike stepped forward and placed his right palm over the seal.
"Ding!"
A dinging noise was heard and the result appeared.
"Eh? What does it mean?"
Mike asked in a perplexed voice.
"It means that water attacks and natural attacks like poison attacks will hold great strength if you use those skills."
Mai clarified.
"Oh, that's cool."
With an enthusiastic voice, Mike jumped up.
Sigh!
Emily sighed by placing his right hand over her face, saying,
"He really is a kid. When will he grow mature?"
Next was Mary.
"Ding!"
The seal reported, with the same dinging noise.
"Good."
Mike cheered her.
She smiled at him.
Then, Emily stepped forward.
"Ding!"
A proud smile formed on Emily's face after seeing her result.
Ary glanced at Erica, and while showing her a thumbs up, he said,
"Best of luck."
Erica giggled, then stepped forward and placed her right palm over the seal.
"Ding!"
The seal made a dinging noise and reported,
"Wow..."
Ary, Emily, Mike, and Mary let out a "wow" in surprise.
"She's talented."
Mai commented while moving closer to Kashi.
"Yes,"
With a smile, Kashi replied and then pushed her away, saying,
"But it doesn't mean you have to lean closer to me to inform that."
"You're so mean~"
With a playful voice, Mai said.
And after all this, Ary's turn finally came.
He stepped forward and placed his right palm over the seal.
"Ding!"
The seal made a dinging noise. However,
"Eh?"
Ary reacted in confinement as he didn't hear clearly what the system just said.
However,
"Whaaaaat?!"
Mai and Kashi were left flabbergasted after hearing this result.
"Um, senior?"
Ary said as he shifted his gaze to Kashi.
Kashi glanced at Ary, wondering,
'This kid...has mastered all the elements already?!'
