Chapter 89: Point Lead On The First Day
[Viltania City]
As everyone was stunned by such techniques that Akito displayed, Shun on the other hand felt stressed as he imagined himself fighting against such force
Due to this his task from the system which tells him to win the tournament seemed distant away now
"Can I even win?" He asked himself after witnessing such display of power
'Well it's not like I can't try to win... Looks like I need to take necessary steps to win against this guy' thought Shun inwardly
As he himself got over it, Rosalyn however still seed surprised at the fact that Akito win without much worry
Due to this she leaned back on her chair as she bit her thumb
"That guys troublesome to fight with, we need to be careful" she advised the team
Hearing her the others immediately nodded in agreement
As she said that, Akito however had already returned to his side and took some rest as the arena in the middle got fixed and changed in terrain for the next match
After one match from two different academies, the terrain changed once more as another participants seemed to follow up after this
Soon the terrain changed into two different landforms, a cliff and a flatland
After that the rolling system for the tournament soon revealed two new participants for this round
*********
Gritonnia Academy representative
Rosalyn Breckt
Vs
Ballad Academy representative
Nape Ejallon
*********
Just like the other matches, stairs suddenly showed up before them as Rosalyn took it to come down the arena and face the opponent who was placed on top of a mountain
Based on the enemy's side and physique Shun however realized that the enemy seemed serious about defeating Rosalyn thus made him almost cheat for the other side
With a notion from the mage, the match officially started by the opponent condensing his Mana at the tip of his finger and stances as if he was pulling a strong on a bow
Upon seeing this Rosalyn soon realized what his opponent's profession is
"Magic Archer... Damn it!"
With those words said upfront she immediately pulled out her fencing sword so thin that it will look like it would break upon first contact
Bending as low as possible on the ground, she suddenly casted multiple enhancement magic on her limbs which is apparent due to it's brightness, but what's more surprising is that she's chanting at a high speed
As for her opponent who just finished chanting, after taking in a breath he Soo. Released his arrows towards Rosalyn
"Hail Arrow Storm"
With a single release the arrow soon splitted continouesly into multiple entities until it filled the whole sky with it's similar arrows raining down unto the world
Faced with this at the exact moment it got released, Rosalyn at the same time launched herself off the ground that it was so fast that it blew the dust away, looking as if she teleported
During her rush, she must have thought about shortening the distance between her and the opponent as she felt really threatened when they are so far apart
As the arrows fell upon her she soon moved instinctually to block the arrows by applying Mana unto her fence and started hacking down every arrows that came her way with movements so swift and flexible in high speed
Of course her opponent Nape Ejallon wasn't an idiot who would just stand idly while watching his opponent to get close to him
After releasing his first attack, he soon recharged his aim and released continouesly but this time with less charged up and more on the fast and destructive side
"Sonic Arrows! High Performance Aim!"
Due to this Rosalyn has to out more effort in blocking the arrows raining down on her
As she got close by about 20 meters to the bottom of the cliff, she soon started enchanting another spell as Mana from the tip of her sword started to cover all around her weapon
"Clean Cut!"
With a hard step forward she soon swung her sword sideways aiming at the base of the cliff
In just one moment the whole cliff was suddenly sliced apart at the very bottom causing everything to crumble from the bottom to the top
"Wah! This crazy bitch!" Cussed nape Ejallon who was caught off guard and stumbles unto the crumbling ground
Not relenting Rosalyn chanted another spell as she swung her sword
"Sword Prairie!"
With fast violent movements she soon sent about thousands of sword cuts towards the rock and debris of the cliff which turned them into fined small rocks due to the sharpness of the attack
Seeing this Nape Ejallon soon clicked his tongue as he used the rock behind him as a foothold to launch himself away from the range of Rosalyn's attack and into the flatland
With a boom he soon rocketed out of danger and started to wrist his body to aim once more towards Rosalyn
"Straight Shot!"
With swift movements he released the arrow aiming for Rosalyn's head as he fell to the ground
Sensing danger Rosalyn's arched her head backwards as an arrow swiftly passes through her
Realising this she Soo. Turned towards the direction of the shot and phased through that certain location
In just a moment she closed the distance between herself and the opponent I. A single breath as she tried to aim for his chest
But her opponent was also an experienced close combat Archer as he took out a dagger to block her attack while jumping back
Seeing this Rosalyn clicked her tongue as she sent a side kick on her opponent sending Nape away
Due to the pain on his side Nape Ejallon's movements suddenly got delayed for a moment as he soon regained on his footing only to realize that he was pinned down by Rosalyn who put the tip of her fencing sword at his neck
Realizing this sweat started to drop from his face as he felt danger from behind him
With a gulp coming from him he soon admitted his defeat causing Rosalyn who was also breathing due to the excessive movements to sigh in relief
Afterwards cheers rose from the spectators on Gritonnia's side of the crowd causing Rosalyn to be proud of herself
With a handshake from her opponent who acknowledged his defeat, they Soon returned back to their representatives position
Of course when she got back congratulatory cheers flooded her causing her to smile
Once more the arena got fixed as the platform changed terrain into something which has towering rocks all over the place
After that Rosalyn soon took a seat as she tested and waited for the announcement of the next few participants of the day

Gritonnia Academy representative
Shun Kurosaki
Vs
Horoscious Academy representative
Luciano Aberia
*********
At last Shun's turn came up afterwards as he soon took the stairs down towards the arena and saw his opponent Luciano who seemed buffed for a moment but not to buffed unlike Goran
With cheers coming from Sephiria, Aria, Rachel, Wendy, and most probably Cedric and the other capture targets
He soon found himself embarrassed by those cheers as he faced Luciano who was dumbfounded by it
"Looks like you got a lot of girls in your cheerleading squad" he grinned at him seemingly jealous of the of Shun having girls supporting him
Hearing that shun just shrugged it aside as he said
"Meh! It's still growing only on the boys side of cheerleading"
Not expecting a reply Luciano was at a loss for words
"That wasn't im... You know what? Forget it, let's just start this so that I can lament my failure of having my own cheering squad later" lamented Luciano
Not understanding what's he's pointing unto shun just agreed at that notion
With the signal to start Luciano took the first step as he reacted faster than shun and gave him a powerful uppercut which caught him off guard
With one punch Shun was sent away as he crashed against the towering rocks and having some crashing down on him
With that Sephiria and the others gasped at the sight of shun bent sent flying at the very first few second of the match, even Cedric was at a loss for words
"Such power and still no use of magic" commented Goran
"No he doesn't has aptitude for magic, I
Instead he used purely brute Force on his techniques... Just like swordsman he's a pure warrior" analyzed Rosalyn
"Someone was able to enter this tournament as a pure warrior? Unbelievable" reacted Sonia
"I know but the result is already infront of us" said Rosalyn as she continued to watch
To everyone's surprise shun stood up from that rubble of rocks as he seemed to only received a slight injury from that
Thankfully he had a system that had enhanced his status by adding points unto it currently his stats are this

Thankfully even hunting in his subconscious training with his champions earned him a bit of points as long as he killed them
Mostly all of his point came from only one champion who made an army of clones to fight him causing him to receive an abundant of points
Touching the bruise of his face, Shun felt a stinging pain which he haven't felt in a long time
With all seriousness he soon took out his Botrk and charged forward
Due to the previous attack shun somehow felt he understood what his opponent did and describe if in few words
"Muscle enhancement"
Stepping charge he jumped up high and slammed down his Botrk as hard as he can, but just as he expected Luciano blocked it by intertwining his arms on top of each other causing his to block it with only relying on muscle Enhancement
Seeing Shun's frustrated face, Luciano suddenly smiled as he took a huge swing and blew Shun away once more and destroying his weapon at the same time
"Tsk!"
Not surprised about the result he soon steadied his stance once more and took our Storm Razor as he charged ahead circling around him
In just few moments he soon attacked him from all sides only proving it was worthless as he can't even cut his flesh
Giving him a powerful kick Shun was forced to use his weapon once more to block such an attack causing his item to be shredded to pieces as he got sent flying once more
At this moment everyone was baffled to see not even a speck of damage on Luciano's body as Shun got sent flying one after the other time
"Weapons are useless... He's muscles compressed so much creating a perfect iron body, no matter how sharp your weapon is, if the opponent however reach a master level of control on these combat technique... Then your weapons can't do anything" said Rosalyn causing everyone to understand the current situation
Foregoing his previous fighting style, Shun then decided to change his method and fight barehanded
Charging as fast as possible he soon sent punches after punches powerful enough to cause a ripple in the air as he sent low after blow unto Luciano's body
Due to this Luciano was surprised of recieving pain from just a punch coming from his thin arms
Not only him but the other viewers were also surprised on how much an impact that shun can inflict by just punching at full force
Responding to Shun's Tenacity Luciano then returned a blow towards Shun's face causing the latter to stagger from the shock
"Hahaha! Come!" With a laugh he prompted Shun to continue exchanging blows
Gritting his teeth and bloody lips Shun then stepped forward and sent blows of punches towards Luciano
Of course the latter also returned it's every punches either matching his strength or overpowering it
Some punches broke through each of their defenses and struck hard unto their body, bit both them still continued relentlessly sending punch after punch against each other without back out
With that progress the battle was then became a battle of toughness and strength between the both of them as the pressure and force from their punches causes waves after waves of air pressure thus destroying their surroundings and causing some tower rocks to fall
"Haaaaaaaaah!!!!"
"Hahahahahahaha!"
With one eager to defeat the other, while the other enjoyed the battle, they this continued to strike each other hard
Soon of what felt like eternity both sides seemed tired as Luciano fell down with his face deformed even the muscles being deformed from Shun's punches as he continued to laugh from the thrill
As for Shun he knelt unto the ground with his appearance no worse from Luciano
But since Shun stood up first and claimed his victory, silence filled the arena before a powerful roar from the crowd after watching the thrilling stood up match
After hearing that he won Shun then fell unconcious causing the medics to hurry over and retrieve both Shun and Luciano who can't even move due to their injury much less talk
Soon after his friend came over and took care of the healing, of course his opponent also had friends that came over to heal him
With that over few matches resumed their battles until the very last participants made their appearance
Soon after the score was then displayed for all in a ranking position causing everyone to be eager to turn the tide of the tournament and gain number one the next day
