Lime walked back towards where Eiji and the other were.
"You did great Lime!"
"Hmm!"
Their classmates happily congratulated Lime, she just smiled lightly at them and thank them back.
"Did he say anything?"
Eiji saw that Herald said something to her, so he asked.
"Hmm... But it's okay! I know I can do it!"
"Okay!"
Knowing that Lime doesn't want to talk about it, so he just agreed with her.
Then they directed their attention to the arena where Herald And Huna were.
Both were from a noble clans.
Although out of all the clans in the kingdom, it was recognized that the Zenith Clan was the strongest!
While the Huna clan is a small clan and doesn't have their own blood power like other noble clans, their ancestors once created a very strong sword art that was said to be on par with even with the powers of those with blood sword power!
Huna Ama, being one of the youngest daughter of the clan, was also called one of the strongest of her own class.
She walked in the opposite side of the arena as she held her wooden sword.
Unlike the mainstream sword of the kingdom, the Huna clan uses a double edge short sword.
She looked at Herald with extrame cautiousness, and frowned her brows as she watched him.
Meanwhile Herald had an inpatient and annoyed look on his face, as he told the teacher to hurry.
"Hey! Hurry up and start! I want to go home already!"
The teacher frowned at him but he already knew Herald's nasty personality, so the teacher just started the fight without the bow as Herald once told the teachers before that he wont bow, ever!
"Start!"
"..."
No one moved.
Ama was cautious and doesn't want to risk rushing in and getting countered which was what the Zenith clan was famous for.
"What?! You're not coming? Hurry up! I don't want to waste my time here!
I really dont understand why they wont just let me fight in the finals, truth be told, I really wont learn anything from fighting from you guys!
You all are weak! I'd get stronger if I just went back home and train with the elders in my clan!"
"Hmmp! Let's see about whos weak or not here!"
Ama was angered by Herald's words and dashed in.
*Swoooshh!
"Piak!
Then their swords met, even with Ama's momentum from her run and full swing, Herald blocked her attack with ease and hasn't even moved his feet!
"Well, there you go! Do more!"
"Hmmp!!"
*Swoosh!
Ama backed up a bit then went in again.
Swinging her short sword, her ki created a green light in her sword which indicated that she's going to use her clans Sword arts.
"Oh? Now it's getting interesting!"
"You wont be saying those words from now on!
Sword Art : Flying Leaf Of The Willow Tree!
Haaaahhhhh!!!!"
*Swoooooshhhh!!!
As Ama Shouted, the green light in her wooden sword became even brighter and brighter!
*Swoosh!
Then she swung her sword sideways, right after that she swung it diagonally upwards, then with all her momentum, swung the sword downwards as the green ki emitted on the sword made it look like a two meter sword by now!
*Baaannnggg!!!
"Haah! Haaah! Haaah!"
Ama panted as he watched the opponent in front of her.
"Hehe!"
Right now in her eyes, Herald had a smirk in his face with a mocking laugh while looking at her.
Ama's hand that was holding the sword trembled slightly because she used too much ki as well as using too much stamina.
But it was also because Herald evaded all the combos in her clan's sword art!
And he evaded them just by moving in almost just an inch!
It should still be known that she hasn't perfected her clans sword art, but she was able to practice it up to a point where she made her ki into the green willow leaf like color, and extend her ki like blade aura.
And as a high S teir level technique, it wasn't something that a Ten year old kid could perform perfectly.
"Well, I guess, I saw something interesting, Flying Leaf Of The Willow Tree huh?!
Hmm.. the swiftness of the momentum?? Oh I see!"
Herald was standing there leisurely and putting his hands in his chins as he muttered something.
*Swoosh!
Then he suddenly he positioned himself and took his stance against Ama.
"Sword art? Well, I'll call this Imitation of the flying leaf in..of the Willow branch?!"
Although Herald said some ridiculous words, his silver ki started to coat his sword!
*Swoosh!
Then with a step just like the original sowrd art, Herald arrived at the front of the panting Ama who had her eyes wide open!
*Banng!!
"Aahhh!!"
She was hit in her stomach, but the sword art was a three step technique! The other two was still coming!
*Swooosshhh!
*Baannnggg!
And Herald struck her while she was still in mid air!
Which made her spun twice in the air, landing far away from Herald.
But with his great momentum going on, he jumped high as he slashed down towards her!
"Hahahha!"
Herald wasn't thinking of just stopping her, he wants to completely destroy her as he laughed in mid air!
"Baaannngg!!!!!
"Aammaaa!!!!"
Dust exploded in the air. No was able to see what happened.
All the people watching were stunned.
It wasn't that there was no one that died in this tournament, but all of them were either by over drafting of ki or by the use of illegal substances or cursed swords.
No one had really tried to kill another person after having stopped and defeated them!
This was clearly just pure malice!
The dust slowly cleared up.
In there was the unconscious Ama in the ground, and also the panting Herald who also used too much of his ki and stamina, using a sword art that he had just seen and directly using it.
And in front of him, was teacher Takazawa Muri!
He was holding his wooden sword coated with his silver ki with only one finger.
Herald was shocked when he saw it.
This was the first time he saw a teacher this powerful!
Most of the tracher in the school were Either just Elite or injured Master level swordsman, that could no longer do any missions and doesn't have anything to do anymore.
That was why he thought there was no one really capable of teaching him in this school.
If it weren't for his father insisting that he go to the school, he wouldn't even have come here!
"Alright kid! You won, you can go now! And also don't ever do this again! This is your first and final warning!"
"Aammmaaa!!!"
At the audience area, the parents of Huna Ama, shouted as they hastily ran down the staircase into the arena, watched their daughter getting carried by the teachers to get checked and treated in the hospital.
