Chapter 4 - Combat Test

It was then, the Job Class Hall directors appeared at the highest seat in the arena. Lumiel and his opponent were now ready and already wanted to test their mettle.

The two were now ready and Lumiel stared at his opponent. He wears a sleeveless top and it extends towards his knees. Buttons were on his chest down to his waist. The pants were fit but the thighs were so buff that it made Lumiel gulp when he imagines the two of them clash. His feet wear sandals, fitting for a Brawler like him.

The referee made them approach each other and then while approaching, the opponent was cracking his neck and knuckles. Lumiel can only smirk at the moment. It was then, they shook hands with each other. The referee then stated the rules in combat without delays.

"The use of weapons is not prohibited especially if that is how you fight. But refrain from dealing crippling damage to your enemy. The fight will only last five minutes and the winner will be decided after that," The referee said to them.

"Okay, that's it! Ready now, and fight!" He said then shouted.

Lumiel then grabbed a staff, the enemy dashed towards him with all his speed. To Lumiel's surprise, he exceeds the stat of a normal student. By just looking at his burst of speed, he has a stat of way over the fifties. Lumiel then felt it would be a hassle to defeat him.

The enemy then appeared right at his face. Crouching and his knuckles were already prepared to launch at him. Doing a hook punch at him, Lumiel rotated his staff and deflected it towards his side. Barely making it with his sheer force. The enemy then launched his elbow towards Lumiel as a response but Lumiel can only block it with his staff. Bending it on the process and he was flung towards the edge.

While he was trying not to fall, he was chased by the enemy and he disappeared right at his face.

"Oh geez, this is bad," Lumiel said.

He was side slammed by his enemy and he was flung towards the centre of the platform. Lumiel then rotated then sat on the marble floor. The enemy was a good Brawler from Lumiel's perspective.

'This person was a Brawler since young and maybe prepared for years towards this day. I should get serious,'

He rotated his staff then dashed towards the enemy. The enemy went again in the offensive but this time around, Lumiel was also in the offensive. Lumiel smashed his staff and the enemy deflected it with the back of his hands. Another smash was made but he received it with his palm. The enemy tried to attack him with several punches but Lumiel evaded them. It was fast that hid punches were rapidly increasing in speed. Some of them were even smacked by the staff.

Bing! Bang! Bang! Bing!

They sounded. The hands of his enemy were hit but it was like he didn't felt anything at all. Lumiel still was in a bind. The enemy did just blew his hands and then it was now okay. He knew that he has to do something about it or he will suffer. Lumiel then thought that it would be best to battle him with a Brawler job class. Thinking of it, he made his staff to be thrown away and then prepared for an all-out battle.

The enemy was shocked by what he has done. Making his only weapon disappears and he will be done for. Lumiel on the contrary was confident. He dashed towards him and then the enemy punched him. Lumiel then slapped his hands sideways and then his other hand aimed at the face. Making him flinch in response. It was done without fail in a split second. Lumiel countered his attacks and rapidly smacked his vital parts. Making him flinch continuously without fail. It was like a master bullying a student.

Lumiel's speed rose and rose until the enemy can barely breathe. Making him slam his butt on the floor.

"Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk! I surrender! I surrender!" He shouted.

It was the first time that it happened. And it seemed the arena was un utter disbelief. Making them silent and they can only stare at Lumiel who walks down the stage. It was utter destruction on the enemy's side. The spectators pitied the enemy. Making him booed at the moment he left the stage.

"Winner! Lumiel Cryhearth!" Said the referee.

Lumiel then ignored their reactions and bought again some popcorn. This time around, he has juice with him. He went to find a seat at the benches and happily ate. Watching more students fight at the time being, he enjoyed it. The fights lasted until the afternoon and so the test ended. It was now time for the results of his rank and the result was C rank!

Though Lumiel himself did not go all out to his enemy and thus got the class tier of C–rank 324. It was then, his hunter license was given to him and he was at last, now a Hunter!
