Aqua Mystic

I saw a woman walk over to the mic, this woman's every step was powerful, her red hair was like wild flames, her eyes make everyone shiver in fear, and a blue diamond shape mark on her forehead, and her exquisite face, she was truly a gorgeous woman, and her strength was equal to mine.

What was this? Why one after another strong person was appearing, isn't there only three Saint Knights in Gallant Knight Kingdom, then where the hell the monster principal and this woman came from?

Whatever, I feel my academy life would be interesting, the woman came to the mic and started speaking,

"There are two hundred and three students here and only a hundred can stay here in the academy others had to leave, so there will be a battle tournament going to happen, there are three students whose power was over the Advanced Knight,

So they already get a spot in the hundred, then now we are left with two hundred students, and only ninety-seven could enter the academy,

We divided you according to your rank, and right now you go there, in that counter according to your rank and you will get other information, we teachers will see your battles and then check all of you and decide if you going to stay in the academy or not, so don't hold anything and show us your ability to it's fullest,"

The woman said as she point to some small boxes where a person was seating inside and every box upper written the ranks,

"The main essence of this test is simple, show us your ability, and beat your opponents, this is it, go and start your battle, there is no order of battle, it's up to when you want to battle,"

The woman said before going back, she didn't even introduce and blandly explain the rules and was gone.

I shook my head and looked at the box where Profound Knight in Fifth Grade was written, in this Academy I registered myself as Profound Knight in Fifth Grade.

I saw around twenty or something people head to Profound Knight in the Fifth Grade box, so this many were in this rank.

"It's boring,"

I said to myself, and scratch my hair before going there, after waiting for a long time I got a coin, and according to this coin, my number was 56, and I have to battle to show my ability, then I battle and win.

I defeated over twenty students and all of them were too easy to defeat.

"This is too easy,"

I said to myself and decide to seal my ability, it took me some time but I'm able to seal my ability without much problem, right now my strength was Profound Knight in Fifth Grade, and with my swordsmanship and experience I could easily defeat someone in Profound Knight in First Grade.

After I did this, an uncomfortable feeling rise inside me, it was like something bind me, and my subconscious mind wanted to free itself from this binding, but this feeling didn't last long I get used to it, and I could break the seal anytime I want, so it's perfect.

Now, let's see if I could find anyone that could be some fun, I looked around me.

I'm in an open area, where many students were fighting others, some were watching the fighting, and some were resting.

"Hey! Hey! Are you the Zaria little brother?"

I heard the loud and cheerful voice of a girl from behind, I looked behind and saw this girl.

She was a little shorter than me, a blue hair that reached her shoulder, a lovely face with blue eyes, and a splendid figure.

"Yes, I'm who might be you?"

"I'm Aqua Mystic, and I challenge you to the battle, how? do you agree?"

She points her sword at me and declares it.

I saw her grade was the same as mine, and the mana inside her was a water element, I thought for a bit and nodded.

"Okay, why not,"

"Hey, but let's bet, if I lose then I will be your maid for a month, and if you lose then you be my servant for a month,"

"Oh, interesting, let's do that,"

I smiled and said, then we two went to one empty place, the distance between us was 5 meters, and a second-year student of Hope Academy was our referee.

"3, 2, 1, and start,"

As the referee said to start, a burst of water shot from the Aqua foot, and in a second she close the distance between us and slash the sword at me.

I was barely able to block, even though my eyes could see it, my body didn't move the way I want, her strike was way too powerful that a crack appeared in my sword.

Sealing my ability, my body also become slow, and her speed was fast that I didn't even get to chance to cover my sword with mana.

As our swords clashed, I cover the sword with my mana and back off from the Aqua but she also followed and again strike and I blocked, she didn't even rest, and one after another she strike at me.

I was getting backed as reached the edge of the arena, if I get a little more back then I'm gonna lose, this girl was really strong.

----

"It looks like your brother gonna lose this fight,"

A beautiful girl with three gold linings on her shoulder spoke with a smile, this girl have maroon hair and eyes, and with a curvy figure, she looked at Ace and Aqua match.

"Do you remember, the first time we fight, just like this I get on edge in the fight, do you know what I did at that time,"

Zaria beside this girl wearing the same academy uniform, with one gold lining on her shoulder spoke.

"Our first fight, yes I can't forget that you put all your mana in your foot, and then with the explosive speed you get behind me and attacked, so you're saying, your little brother can do the same thing,"

"I learn that move from him, not only that but most of my fighting style I learn from him,"

"No way,"

The maroon girl was shocked, as she looked at Zaria and saw her proud look toward her little brother,

"Ace Rathbun, lose," the referee announced.

The referee announced, attracting these two girls' attention to Ace's foot that get outside of the arena,

"This little, how can he mess this up,"

Zaria clench her fist and looked at Ace, beside her Maroon girl sighed in relief.
