Chapter 8 - The king's trial

The irregulars

Chapter 8

"It tastes very good. Your a good cook claris ''said Rein''

After hearing this from Rein, Claris felt the tingling and overjoyed sensation that made her blush like an apple.

"W-well it's my cooking after all, Ahaha.

henceforth they started to eat Claris cooking. Also Claude and Gen felt forgotten and left out due to the sweet scene of Rein and Claris.

the night ends therefore the morning comes where there are sounds of various birds singing, they woke up.

"Okay, Let's go to the capital! ''said Gen''

Gen were very exited to travel to the capital and see some fantasy like stuff, Therefore they started their outing to the royal capital.

They visited many kinds of shops until they stumbled a gloomy house, and it made them feel the eerie.

The house was emitting a scary and gloomy aura that makes the people avoid it therefore for a moment they walked through to avoided it.

As they walk they saw some caged person in a street with an iron collar with chains, leaded by some Merchants with their bodyguards.

"What are those? ''Rein asked''

"Oh. Those are... slaves, All of them were in huge debt or crimes so they were sentenced to be slaves to serve or be executed.

knowing the information from claris about the slaves, they felt pity for the slaved humans, especially Rein who is the most kindest among them.

After a few hours of their outing one of the knights have been ordered by Captain Galand to call the trio.

"Vice captain Claris, sir Gen, Rein , and sir Claude has been summoned by the captain to the castle ''said the knight''

after being informed, they departed for the sudden call, After a few moments the trio and claris arrived at the destination seeing the captain waiting for them.

"Captain Claude what is it? ''Rein asked''

"Oh you all finally arrived. The test of your abilities is now.

"Ehh!...Now '' Gen commented''

"Y-yes... the king also wanted to see your tests and abilities so he will be present. Let's go now, the king is waiting for the three of you.

"Yes!

After hearing that the king himself is involved they felt pressureh.

A few moments later they are on the palace training ground with the king and other nobles watching them. The place was like a battle stadium with a caged monster on the center. Henceforth the king speaks.

"Gen, Rein, and Claude I received the report of you three defeating and sealing an E-rank demon. Henceforth we wanted to see your abilities and capabilities. Would you allow us to see by defeating a sabertooth tiger each one of you

As the king requested they cannot refuse therefore they agreed. The first to the test is Rein therefore they prepared the stage.

"Are you ready Rein ''King confirmed''

"Yes your majesty

Henceforth the saber tooth is unleashed from it's cage roaring and ready to fight Rein and so the battle begins.

The saber tooth unleashed it's menacing roar and attacks Rein by it's sharp long fangs however Rein blocked it by his sword the Cleaver. Henceforth Rein used his body enhancement skill to have more strength however the saber tooth claws is about to strike him.

"Tsk... this tiger is.. very strong

He jumped to the air to dodge the claw attacks and charged his energy to his hands to prepare the force blast in the air.

As the saber tooth looked up to see Rein, Rein already finished preparing his force blast therefore he aimed and shoot it to the saber tooth.

"Force blast!

The blush force blast hit's the saber tooth and created a shock wave of energy explosion like a bomb. and killed the saber tooth in an instant, blasting it's body by explosion of life energy.

After seeing this fight the nobles were shocked and stunned seeing an Specialty that's already extinct is been used by Rein. The life arts doesn't have any magical and spiritual energy and is a part of history and myths where most noble reads from books, therefore the nobles knows that's it's not magic or spiritual but something else like life arts from the legends.

The life force arts were known as ancient specialty that people used before. However the life force arts is a lost specialty or lost arts because on the current civilization no person have been discovered that could use it.

Therefore Rein pique the king's interest. And so the next fight will be for Gen.

"Are to ready Gen ''king confirmed''

"Yes your majesty

Therefore the king released the saber tooth and for just a few seconds the saber tooth attacked Gen directly with it's claws therefore Gen blocks it with his mana sword. however Gen is lacking strength to overpower or escape it's attack therefore he used his magic shadow bind with his ring with the ability to double cast creating double shadow binds spell.

Thanks to his mana bank jacket he have the mana to do more attacks with his mana blade however the saber tooth skin were too hard for his sword to pierce therefore he had the idea of infusing his mana to the mana blade.

As the saber tooth is in bind and cannot move he takes his time to infuse his mana to his blade however he were having a hard time because the blade rejects his mana therefore he came to a conclusion to try that the mana he must infuse must only have one attribute.

Therefore he infused his mana with the attribute of light by the thought of purity of light, henceforth the mana blade absorbed his mana and the blade were enveloped by shining light.

the time was with his as he bind's the enemy therefore he tried to pierce the saber tooth with his blade, though the effects were stronger than he expected the blade pierced to it's body like a butter.

The king and nobles were impressed by Gen as he was able to use a mana blade Moreover he has the attribute of light and dark at such a young age making them think that Gen is a prodigy in magic and may become a great magician.

After a few moments later when the stage is all clear and clean again, the next battle will be on Claude, henceforth Claude inters the stage feeling the risk and danger as he is the weakest among them.

"Are you ready Claude ''king confirmed''

"Yes your majesty.

Henceforth the king released the saber tooth and the battle begins.

As the saber tooth was released then Claude kept his distance far away to cast his spells, and he used his book of sorcery spell flare wave where the attack hits the saber tooth however it lacks of fire power therefore he adds flare burst.

The attacks made the saber tooth burn, however it still fights and charged forward to Claude with it's sharp claws, henceforth Claude used his his spell spiritual barrier to block however the spiritual barrier doesn't completely blocks physical attacks therefore it breaks.

with such a second thanks for the barrier for buying time, he already made a distant.

"Tsk damn this cat. I don't know anymore if I'm a special character with three spiritual attributes or just a trash character with useless skills.

At the moment Claude thought of a risky Idea.

"It may be dangerous but it will end the fight early...

The saber tooth got close to him in seconds however Claude jumped straight to it.

seeing the scene, The king and nobles were surprised and worried as Claude jumped straight to the flaming tiger.

However as Claude jumped straight to it he used his robe of spirits to pass through the saber tooth body, following his plan he used his spell flare burst inside it's stomach.

"Take this damn cat!

Claude passed through the saber tooth thanks to his robe, and so the saber tooth insides were enveloped with flames burning his inside and outside the saber tooth passed away.

The whole nobles falls silent at what kind of battle they seen however the king assessed Claude's talent making him Interested to Claude.

And finally the king's trial is finished.

henceforth from all the action, the three of them were called by the king seeking an audience.

"Rein, Gen and Claude I confirmed that the three of you defeated the demon however with such talent and skills it will be gone to waste if not trained.
