Today is the last day of selection tournament and the top 14 strongest participants are remaining in the tournament and of 14 students, 12 are of Class S meaning all students of Class S students are still in the tournament, this alone proves that the strength of Class S as top notch students of this year
The audience gathered once again and Participants gathered but today the atmosphere was very serious.
The students who will win today will be the representatives of Empire and Academy, so even if it's cruel only the strongest of 14 will go to Interschool competition
"Hello once again I'm your host of tournament and today is last day of our selection tournament where only best will be selected , and for today's tournament it's been decided that Miss Arina Grande will be directing selected for tournament team because she is only person who can do healers job!"
At first glance it looked like a very unfair decision for other participants but they also knew that every team that will participate in a tournament will have at least one healer and without healers buff and healing let alone winning matches making it to the second round will be rough.
Healers were the most precious support for any party and very rare people, a newbie healer can increase the battle power of a team by 10% while top tier healers can increase it by 75% . Healers are a type of light mages who focus on support and debuffs.
So it was a very natural decision to let Arina enter the team as she was healer on top of that she had a peak tier 2 light elemental python, which was considerably strong for freshmen.
"Now let's know how the remaining 6 will be selected, you guys just have to fight until the last 6 remain standing, remember that serious injuries are prohibited"
All remaining participants were now standing at a circular platform and a barrier of magic was made to avoid the audience from getting hurt because now the duel was not 1vs 1 but 1vs 13 which means any one can attack anyone during the match.
"Now then all participants are ready ? Go!"
After getting a nod from all participants the referee started the match and all participants got in battle position then launched attack at their nearest opponents some even teamed up to defeat strong opponents
Reus was fighting 3 guys at once while everyone else was fighting only one but no one dared to go near klaus as the image they had of klaus was of invincible man
'In drama, Reus had fought only 2 guys at once looks like effect of mine works have started to appear in this world, I should take it easy and look at how others peoples fight, the drama was fully made for showing protagonist as best but there was no mention of others'
Klaus thought as he was standing at corner watching the matches
Anna was a long range damage dealer so she had some troubles when fighting a close range assassin and she was running and shooting her opponent.
Her many shots were missed because of the moving target, Sam on the other hand has had it easy as his opponent was a mage but the mage was water element so whenever Sam attacked he made a shield of water like a shell and shot water bullets after gaining some distance
Reus on other hand was fighting with 3 participants at once and by using wind magic as support he was barely enduring their combined attacks.
Reus's opponent was two swordsmen and one water mage. The first swordsman attacked Reus but he parried it easily making the swordsman to be shocked and just as Reus was going to attack other guy also attacked him with a slash because of that Reus has to block sword and give up on counter attacking the first swordsman and taking advantage of this time the mage attacked Reus which was barely avoided by him.
Reus was struggling because of 3 opponents and then suddenly klaus who was observing them was attacked by a fire ball and a water spear which he avoided by a second.
'So these guys are teaming up to defeat me huh? Well it's the best way to gain fame for nobles even if they defeat me as 1 vs 6 they will still gain more fame'
Klaus thought as he saw 2 mages and 2 swordsman and assassin and archer ready to attack him.
"Amusing. What a great strategy but if you couldn't defeat me it will be a very big loss for you guys"
Hearing klaus's words a guy in brown hair and a better face shouted "Don't be afraid guys! We can do it! He is just saying because he wants to scare you!"
Klaus was surprised and thought 'There wasn't any mention of a guy like that who can act as leader despite feeling pressured in drama, oh well drama was made to show Reus as the only hero and harem king so it's not much surprising now'
And klaus got serious and he took out two swords and made a cross sign and directly rushed towards the leader guy 'I should fight slowly to know more about these guys'
And klaus made a vertical slash towards that guy but that guy still stood there unmoved but after a moment he took two steps backward and shouted
"Now fire the magic" and suddenly a water shot passed by klaus's cheeks
klaus was once again surprised 'Didn't expect him to use himself as bait '
Klaus dodged the attack and was about to attack again but suddenly an arrow came but klaus saved himself
"ICE SHIELD"
Klaus barely saved himself but an assassin attacked him from his back but klaus has now become serious and calm he punched the assassin from the side to which the assassin guy blocked but was still pushed back quite far.
Then the leader guy shouted "Use your strongest techniques , you shouldn't give that guy a chance to attack"
Hearing him all students nodded and activated their strong technique
"Immovable Sword Swordsmanship Technique"
"Water Current Swordsmanship Technique"
"Space Piercing Arching Technique"
"Shadow Kill Assassin Arts"
"Ice Serpent"
"Inferno Chains"
All these techniques were at lowest tier 6 and best was peak tier 7
Seeing this Klaus thought
'So they are sons & daughters of big shots of Empire'
And said "Now this is an interesting match! It looks like I have to show off some more"
