Chapter 17 - CHAPTER 18 PROMOTED

The people of the battle brigade were standing before me with teasing grin on their face even Fiona had the same grin on her face.

"You could've told me earlier! I was nervous for no reason!"

I pouted at there grin, while I was so nervous I couldn't think of anything they just laughed and my misery I couldn't help but pout even harder.

"Ok! Ok you don't need to sluck like that, let's talk about your promotion exam, but before that I have to explain to you about it."

Hina said trying to stop her laugh. I nodded as I wanted to divert attention from this topic.

"First D-rank promotion is the last promotion you can from us, C-rank and higher promotion exams generally happen twice a year and their location changes every year."

Hina explained in great detail I was a bit surprised by this.

"And only with the recommendation of the B-ranked Adventurer and higher can you participate in those exams."

She continued her explanation with a serious tone.

"I see, I will think about it later!"

I replied glad that they told me about such a condition it would've been embarrassing if I went there without knowing this condition.

"Now that you know about it , after Fiona asked us about it we all have decided to conduct this exam via sparing, you will choose one of us and we will tell wheather you pass or fail based on your performance in this spar."

Hina explained about the exam I have to take, I was a bit taken aback by it, after a lot of consideration I decided to spar to be with Cameron he seems most level headed and likely to hold back properly than clumsy Adrian and battle maniac Hina, I heard about this from waitress in guild tavern.

"I would like to spar with Cameron!"

I said with a tone of finality, both Adrian and Hina pouted but didn't say anything, as we got ready to spar in the training ground.

After we stood in front of each other I felt a tense atmosphere.

"You are free to attack however you wish I will just observe your skills to judge whether they are at the appropriate level for D-rank adventurer."

He said in a confident tone I was ticked, he was looking down on me, I have worked extremely hard in learning and training in magic since I came to this world I was also proud of my talent in magic so getting a little angry was something I couldn't help myself with.

"You said it!"

I decided to break his condensing attitude by defeating him here and now. I used physical enhancement magic as I dashed towards him with the speed of a wild beast, I have gotten used to close combat with monsters as I still can't use multiple magic at the same time and my quests are generally about killing and harvesting parts of a large number of weaker monsters.

I punched towards his face by leaping from the ground he seemed surprised but successfully parried my punch but I decided to use my inertia to attack by kicking him he stopped my kick with his other hand I used power behind that kick to push myself back I gained some distance but I was still surprised and I wasn't skilled enough to really make combo with any more steps then that.

"That's some impressive physical attack, but it is not enough."

He said in a serious tone but he was taking me more seriously, I decided it wouldn't be good, I have no Idea how to fight humanoid in combat, so I have to improvise.

"{Hydro cannon}"

It was a spell I created after my last promotion I have a combat system in mind and this spell was the first step for that tactic, it was a famous tactic from one of the anime I watched I seriously thought it was impressive.

"Your just wasting your mana on a large scale spell like this."

He commented calmly after he successfully dodged my attack. I just grinned at that.

"{Foggy mist}"

I used my mana in the water to heat it as vapours began to form on the battlefield The mist was getting so thick that I would've had a hard time seeing anything 2 meters away from me, but with the help of my search spell I could easily locate him,

"{Sound isolation}"

I used my stealth barrier and approached him stealthily from his blind spot, he seemed to be panicking I decided to end this by placing my blade around his neck.

"Don't move!"

I said in serious tone, I am sure I only win because of I caught him of guard but to my surprise two small stones came racing towards me with really I speed I rolled to dodge but I had to get away from him, it seems he can attack without looking, I decided to just used Earth spells to give him blunt attack, I backed down as I disappeared from his vision ones again, I decided to shoot out some spells at him but to my surprise he dodged everything though with lot of difficulty after dodging my attacks.

"That's enough you pass!"

He said with serious tone he seems little out of breath but he could easily dodge my spells even the vapours were cleared by a strong gust of wind after he declared that, I looked and it seemed that Hina was the one who used the wind spell.

"That was great!!"

Adrian and Hina said after the mist was cleared, I just nodded shyly at this both Fiona and Cameron were talking about the promotion, I have already handed my guild card to Fiona so she could update it.

"That some great tactic, how did you come with it?"

Adrian asked with awe in his voice I blushed at that as his face was too close to me, seeing me flustered Hina pushed him away from me.

"Well I read about this tactic from the book that my friend lent me."

I tried replying calmly as possible.

"Was that book about combat tactics?"

Hina asked with curiosity in her voice.

"Not really it was story book."

I replied seriously, after chatting with both for while we returned to guild hall were they said goodbye to me after waiting for another hour I finally got my updated guild card..
