I looked at Mr. Richard and thought of only one thing, 'I need to get stronger as soon as I can, if not, I don't think I'll last against even a basic class demon', I made up my mind and asked Mr. Richard a question "Is it possible to take two weapons ?",
"Yes, I don't mind" he replied almost immediately, I headed back towards the shelves and started looking at the swords, I kept on scrolling until I saw a black sword, I picked it up expecting a notification but instead I got nothing, I swung it around trying to get a feel of the sword myself.
'I wonder what this sword can do?' I asked myself and as if hearing me, the system gave me a notification.
The system answered my questions clearly and even answered the one I didn't ask, I still find it a real bummer that Demon Gaze isn't amongst the skills that work with the sword but at least when I unlock one of those compatible skills it'll become stronger.
I skimmed over the crowd of people and landed on a tough looking opponent, I walked to him, "You wanna spar?" I asked trying to not sound desperate for a sparring partner but I think I failed cause of his light smile,
"Sure, why not. By the way, I am Kyle" he said as he got into position, "And I'm Dan" I replied while pointing my sword at him. "Oh I know, I know all about you", 'Strange' I thought as I got ready to attack.
I ran towards him ready to hit him with my new sword, I jumped building up force and as the blade came close to his body it suddenly stopped,
I pulled back my blade and tried to attack again and the same thing happened, contradictory to my wishes, I activated Demon Gaze and when I looked at him, my jaw practically dropped, he didn't have a blue flame like the rest instead he had a full out GREEN fire ball, I particularly found this astonishing because his flame was green while others which include myself were blue, ignoring this interesting fact, I charged again aiming the tip of my sword towards his body, this time I noticed that his energy was entering a pendant on his neck and a force field was forming where the blade was going to hit him,
I smiled internally and immediately moved the blade diagonally, grazing his skin, this had caught him by surprise as I could see the shocked expression on his face, I didn't let him come over the shock as I continued the assault,
he tried his force field trick repeatedly but to no avail and before the end of five minutes all the small cuts I had made started bleeding and eventually he was drenched, at this point I stopped, I looked at him and saw him mumbling something, his eyes started glowing green and he whispered in a way only I can hear, "Get ready to die, human" as he jumped in the air ready to attack me,
'What did he mean when he referred to me as human, isn't he a human too?' I thought as I rose my sword to block him, his fist collided with it and sent me flying backwards, I stabbed the sword into the ground to reduce my momentum, after a while I skidded to a stop, I was panting as though I were a mad dog cause it took a lot in me to stop myself from hitting the wall, "You managed to stop the force of my punch, you're strong and for that, I'll stop holding back" he said while smiling,
'HE WAS HOLDING BACK?!' I practically started shaking.
As the two classmates got ready for another exchange of blows, the entire class including their teacher was paying close attention to the fight, Kyle's green energy concentrated around his feet and fist, he flexed his muscles and at that moment, Dan dodged and has he did, Kyle seemingly appeared where he was, nobody in the class had seen him move except their teacher.
Kyle noticed his fist didn't hit anything so he turned and saw that Dan had managed to dodge, seeing this, Kyle ran mad with anger, he began to punch and attack Dan who managed to barely avoid it because he could see where Kyle's energy was concentrating, Kyle kept on punching and throwing kicks and eventually Dan noticed something, there was a faint trail of green energy that appeared a second before Kyle's fist followed,
Dan knowing that reading someone's energy while dodging was a gruesome task, he decided to use the trails to dodge his attacks, to the audience it looked as though Dan knew where Kyle's attacks were going to land, although technically he did and without the skill he would have lost for sure, Dan felt that he had gotten used to Kyle's attack pattern, he had been dodging for a while, now its his turn to attack, he thrust his sword towards Kyle, he jumped back but still had a murderous glare fixed at Dan, he was about to attack again when he felt a warm liquid pouring down his sides, he touched it and saw blood, this only infuriated him the more.
He built up the energy in his hand and a ball of energy was visible on his hand, he pointed it towards his opponent ready to shoot it out, when all of a sudden, Mr. Richard appeared close to Kyle and knocked him out, he picked him up and was exiting, he opened the door ready to leave but he turned his head looking at Dan "Nice job." he said as he exited. Dan deactivated his Demon Gaze, smiled to himself and went to rest.
