The Sage

As Ryuma know about the identity of the guy in robed, he laughed. From the start, he know that he had no chance of defeating him.

"Hahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! O your greatness... what is your purpose to come here?!! I thought you're just sitting on the round table. Meeting with those who are the strongest. Ain't that right?! SAGE MELIUM?!!!" 

Sage Melium. One of the thirteen 'sage' that is from 'Magihen'. Magihen is the faction that is recognized by the whole world as the group of strongest magician who maintain the world's order. Only the one who is recognized as the strongest magician is qualified to be called 'The Sage'. But because Magihen only has thirteen seat, There might be another magician who's on par or even stronger than them. 

Sage Melium, on the other hand. Is one of the most mysterious person among the sage. Since he normally doesn't talk. He only communicated with the letters and stuff. Meanwhile, Line who just just woke up, Looking at Ryuma who's laughing in front of Sage Melium. She's confused wether he is laughing because he was helpless or it was because he knows that he can beat him. 

While Ryuma was laughing, he immediately launched a surprise attack on Sage Melium by launching a water cutter on his face. It didn't scratched him or rather, there's something that is blocking the attack. 

"Huh? Mana Shield? Not fair your greatness~ You should've gone easy just for a weak kid like me~" As he said that Ryuma cast a consecutive water piercing all over the Sage Melium. Just to be blocked by the mana shield. As he's still attacking with water piercing, Ryuma pulled some string by launching a waterball onto the Sage's right side. 

The waterball stopped before he hit the shield. The sage noticed the waterball is spinning and pulsating from the inside. And then, Immediately exploded on his face. But the mana shield didn't even scratched. Ryuma then launched a countless waterball or rather, waterbomb. Even still, those waterbomb didn't even manage to make a crack on the shield. 

Ryuma decides to coming towards the sage to fighting him in a close combat. As Ryuma come close with him, a light coming out from behind Sage's head. It was a fire beam. 

"Fire? Inside the rain?" The beam immediately sends Ryuma to quite a distance. But despite that, he's still standing on two feet. And his two arms which he used to blocked the beam, leaving an obvious fresh burn mark. Even in the rain, the fire beam has pack quite a power. 

("Heh, so he's called the sage not for nothing")

"But even so! Thou really had underestimate this small creature in front of you O greatness!!! I will prove my worthiness... BY CRUSHING THAT GODDAMN SHIELD!!!"

Ryuma then control a countless droplets of water and spin them arounds him and the sage. Creating a bubble-like water in a form of circle around them. Line who's outside of the circle, watching the fight, were in awe because she definitely felt like Ryuma goes easy on her and Valena. 

Because the Ryuma she's watching right now has the eyes that is intend to kill. Which means that he definitely hold back on her. Meanwhile, the sage who's inside the circle, can feel that the mana shield was cracked from a constant water cutter and water piercing. Line's eyes were wide open. 

"Rule ground?! No it can't be! He hasn't even learn his 'Unique' yet! Does that mean he's creating that just from an intuition?!" The sage's shield has finally has broke. But, the sage that's been standing on the same spot since the beginning has vanished from Ryuma's view. 

(He disappeared?!) Ryuma instinctively looked behind his back, a small light beam coming from outside the circle and pierced his right chest. Ryuma couched up blood. But he still yet hasn't give up as he saw the sage standing outside the circle. 

"I'M NOT DONE YE-" Ryuma then felt a small object just hit him on his forehead. His views were blacked out. A hours has passed. Ryuma opens his eyes. He was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling. He looked to his left, there was Line who's sitting on chair with her hand and leg crossing. Valena leaned her back on the wall with her hands crossing and there's also Sage Melium who's standing behind Line. 

"Yo, kid. You woke up already? It's only been two hours. You kid sure are tough aren't you? Ryuma immediately has his guard up by staring at Line. Not because she brought him here. It's because the fact that he just lose.
