Challenge

At the main gate of the celestial sword clan, hundreds of disciples had gathered to see the arriving figures from the firestorm clan.

Flint and the others soon joined in, and they could see 7 figures in red uniforms standing outside the gate, on the chest was a crest that formed a tornado of red flames.

While the four gatekeepers who were well-built middle-aged men looked relaxed, they did not make any effort to drive away the incoming students from other clans, as if such things had happened many times and were not considered a threatening problem.

"Bastard Lukas, get out! Are you too scared to face us?" Shouted one of the long, wavy red-haired youths in front of the gate.

Seeing the figure of the red-haired youth, the flying sword clan disciples began to whisper to each other with various expressions, it was obvious that they recognized the figure of the youth.

"That's Sony, he's one of the talented junior students and is even a top-50 student in his class!" Raiden whispered to Flint.

"I see!" Flint nodded casually, he realized the seven students couldn't possibly pose any threat to the clan, so he had nothing to worry about.

It was just that he still didn't understand what the newcomer disciples were thinking. Coming with an arrogant attitude to someone else's clan with just such abilities, weren't they too stupid?

Just as Flint was thinking about coming up with a reasonable answer, 2 disciples from the Sky Sword Clan came forward with annoyed expressions.

"We don't know what Lukas has done to you disciples of the Firestorm clan, but coming here in such a disrespectful manner, it's tantamount to offending the entire clan." The brown-haired disciple gave his response.

"That's right! You'd better get out of here if you don't want to regret it!" The flying sword clan disciples shouted to drive away the disciples of the firestorm clan.

Actually challenging disciples from other clans had happened many times, even from their side too sometimes did that to other clans.

That was the reason the clan officials didn't pay much attention to the fights of the younger generation, and they were just taking care that no one died.

After all, the relationship between the clans in the southern area was well-established, so if there were any deaths from the other side, it would only lead to misunderstandings.

"Hah, you think we'll be afraid! Come forward all of you, and let us burn you without a trace." Shouted Sony who didn't accept the expulsion.

Although he realized he had been rude, but, because of what Lukas had done to them, for them it was understandable.

"Hey, you punks, if you want to fight do it the right way, don't make this clan look like losers." One of the guards finally commented. He scolded his own juniors.

"HAHAHA, did you hear that? Even the seniors think you're trash!" Sony shouted triumphantly.

"You also don't need to say so much, I won't give you any favors, you understand!" The guard cautioned Sony for saying excessively provocative words.

Sony only smiled bitterly and returned his gaze to the hundreds of students gathered near the main gate. "Let's get this over with quickly. Call Lukas now, let us settle the score with him."

"That's easy! But you have to beat me first!" The brown-haired student smiled faintly as he offered himself to fight Sony.

"You? Who are you? I've never even seen you in inter-clan tournaments before!" Sony frowned, clearly annoyed.

For ranked students, being challenged by an ordinary student who was not on the leaderboard was an insult.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Sean! Recently my name has been recorded on the leaderboard, I'm currently ranked 100th!" Sean introduced himself proudly.

"HAHAHA"

Loud laughter suddenly sounded, but it didn't come from Sony or his side, but rather from the figure of the black-haired youth who was in the crowd of celestial sword clan disciples.

Everyone naturally directed their attention to that young man.

"Flint! What... What the...?" Raiden and Wade were stunned with confusion.

Flint instantly covered his mouth with both palms tightly, it was an accident that he couldn't help but laugh.

"Well... well, it seems like there's also a pretty honest and intelligent student here. He even directly represents us. Hahaha." Sony laughed mockingly, and the 6 companions behind him gave the same expression.

"Hey guys, if you're only ranked 100th, you don't even deserve to face Sony, you should know your place." Greeted one of Sony's colleagues behind him.

Sean's face instantly turned red because of this, he gave Flint a sharp look, and promised in his heart that he would beat him up as soon as his business with the student of the firestorm clan was over.

"What's wrong with rank 100? You don't think that the rank in your clan is the same as the rank in our clan, do you? Come on, the entire continent already knows that our clan has a quality younger generation, did you forget about our ice Goddess?" Sean tried to defend himself by selling Elsa's popular name.

"Really? I thought it was just one person! And the others are just trash!" Sony replied casually. "But, I'll fight you, and in return, if you lose, you have to bring Lukas to me!" Sony added.

"You're talking like you're going to win. Get ready, I'm going to cut your throat." Sean immediately pulled out the large sword on his back, then lunged towards Sony.

Sony only smiled lightly, and casually raised his right arm forward.

A red magic circle formed in front of his palm, and a fist-sized fireball immediately formed.

Sean gasped in alarm, and instantly flowed Mana into his greatsword, the greatsword was enveloped in blazing Mana.

"Fireball of destruction!"

Sony shot out the fireball in his hand casually, as if it was a normal thing for him to do.

"Wow, is that a move similar to mine?" Flint was a little intrigued by the move Sony released, especially the magic circle that formed before the fireball, after all it was the first time he had seen someone else use magic without a sword.

Previously he had only practiced with his grandfather who used a sword.

On the other hand, the fireball moved quickly towards its target which was none other than Sean, the students who saw Sony's fast and powerful attack looked worried.

Meanwhile, Sean became hesitant, at first he intended to slash the fireball using his sword, but as the fireball approached, he could feel the growing threat from it.

"I can't, I have to dodge." Sean decided, and quickly jumped to the left side.

Bomm!

The ground where the fireball landed was slightly shattered, a half-meter-wide hole formed and left a black explosion mark.

Sean gulped, "That was close!"
