Dodge

Mitch looked shocked all of his attempts to hit Leithi were unsuccessful.

The facilitator himself was surprised and stepped back out from the middle of the ring. He had assumed Mitch would win effortlessly.

He stepped back and looked at Leithi who seemed to be trembling.

Mitch gritted his teeth.

" I'm gonna beat you down, you piece of trash." He lurched forwards forgetting that Leithi despite his timidity, was a swordsman. The biggest mistake of any spellcaster mage was to get close to a swordsman.

Mitch's entire arm was engulfed in flames and his fist aimed at Leithi's delicate face.

PENG.

The punch was blocked.

" Oh crap!" Vicar said, and Izzy who was standing up watching the fight looked back to him.

Vicar was frowning as he looked towards Leithi.

The thing that blocked Mitch's fist was the scabbard of Leithi's sword.

"Please don't make me fight" Leithi said.

Mitch jumped back " Tch, you little runt".

A flame torrent flew towards Leithi at an astonishing speed. Leithi held the sheathed sword in front of him and whistled, he then cut through the flame torrent, remaining standing in the exact spot.

"What the heck!" Mitch was so angry, Leithi who looked like a gust of wind could blow him over was beating him.

" Come on Mitch! You're boring", Mitch tensed up, he looked behind him to where his friends were sitting. The had bored expressions on their faces. Mitch turned his attention back onto Leithi feeling embarrassed.

" Fine then, don't blame me for hurting trash". Mitch let out a loud roar and the stage trembled. He muttered a spell and unique symbols floated into the air. They were red and glowing and a series of huge balls of fire appeared above Leithi's head.

Leithi's eyes glowed as he looked up, this spell was a very high levelled one, and took a lot of engr. to conjure.

" Fall!" Mitch shouted.

The balls fell and Leithi's pupils contracted.

The stage was engulfed in flames and even Mitch held up his arms to cover his eyes from the heat and smoke.

He let out an exhausted smile.

" I won" he muttered while breathing heavily.

" Wow Mitch" one of his friends said, " Why did you use Hell Fire on the poor kid?" he laughed. Mitch shrugged and pulled his tongue out at his friend.

" Y-you know i-it's rude to look away from your o-o-opponent" The quiet voice from the smoke made Mitch turn in shock. His laughing friends also looked at the stage in disbelief.

" No way he should be toast!" They shouted.

Leithi had his sword in his hands that looked longer than his body. He was still trembling but the look in his eyes made a pool of rage erupt from Mitch's stomach.

" N-No way! You piece of trash, how can you dodge!" He stumbled forward and then passed out from exhaustion.

The facilitator surprised sighed in disappointment.

" Winner, Leithi Krauss orange-class rank 995".

There was no applause for the fight. Most students were not around but then a loud cheer came from Izzy and Weigela who seemed unusually enthusiastic.Vicar, Valoel and Zakum looked in their direction, but the two girls were too excited to care about their weird looks.

When Leithi returned Izzy and Weigela congratulated him on winning his first fight. A blush formed on his place skin and he a small smile appeared on his face.
