sword fighting

The next morning at exactly six, all the students gathered in the dueling arena. This place, known as the arena, consisted of a large square that could accommodate many people. The square was divided into several smaller arenas, and there was a grandstand that completely surrounded the arena.

The weather was very cold, but Seron didn't care. His only focus was on winning that day.

"Alright everyone, today's the real day. Today you'll see hell. Before we start, does anyone have any questions?"

"Miss, isn't it too early? I read in the schoolbook that classes start at eight?"

A girl from among the attendees asked.

Professor Linda looked at the girl with a surprised expression.

"Heh heh heh, you think I care what the school says?! Monsters are invading the southern continent and you're thinking about the schoolbook, tsk."

She continued, saying, "Listen to me, everything you enjoy, whether it's drinks, food, or clothes, you haven't earned it. So you have to prove that you deserve it. And don't try to slack off. You are the children of the Sky Empire, you are the first dragon disciples, so this decline is not befitting of you. You must fight and never give up."

"Yes, yes ma'am."

All the students shouted after she had instilled enthusiasm in them.

"Now, without further ado, let's begin."

"Fred Macaswell, you will fight. Who is your partner?"

"Ma'am, it's Jasmine Jerome."

"Step forward, you will fight. Is there a challenger?"

"Ma'am, we will step forward."

Two students stepped forward from among the students. They looked strong. One had a circular birthmark, and the other had very sharp features. They had brown hair; one had long hair and the birthmark and was named Cedric, and the other had short hair and sharp features and looked somewhat handsome, his name was Finn.

"If you're ready, fight quickly."

"Yes."

The fight began.

"Clink, clink."

They drew their swords, Fred was a frail and short young man, and he looked like a weak person, with orange hair and a face full of freckles and some pimples, but his fighting stance was good, and his eyes didn't show fear or hesitation. The girl standing beside him, whose name was Jasmine Jerome, looked very beautiful with jet black hair, blue eyes, and a stunning face. She was perhaps even more beautiful than Aista, but she seemed afraid.

"Finn, attack the girl and defeat her, then come help me with this."

Cedric said as he ran towards Fred. The nobles exploited loopholes in the laws and trained their children in dueling indirectly. In most cases, they learned combat strategies verbally, so the nobles were taught dueling imaginatively, and some even trained their children in combat indirectly. So when the fighting started, both teams were mentally prepared for it.

Clack

The swords collided with force, producing sparks.

Swish

Fred retreated a few steps backward due to the force of the blow.

But he gritted his teeth and advanced towards him. Fred's face turned red due to the adrenaline that pumped throughout his body.

Swish, swish

Cedric attacked and tried to hit Fred with an overhead strike, but Fred dodged the blow and tried to defeat him with a counterattack.

Meanwhile, Finn was fighting Jasmine.

"Oh girl, the edge of the sword is in the opposite direction, heh heh heh."

He struck her with full force on the side of her sword.

Sherr

"Kyah ahhh"

Jasmine screamed as she fell backward and dropped her sword.

The match continued for a few minutes and ended in a complete loss.

"That's okay, everyone showed some kind of basics, except for Jasmine of course, but first, Fred needs to look around when he fights, you look ready but it's clear that your basics are weak, but don't worry. As for Finn, from what I've seen of you, I've concluded that you don't move much during the fight, don't rely only on the strength of your hands in the fight but on your whole body, most of you now haven't produced their first mana ring so you should take this time to strengthen your basics...."

Linda continued explaining the mistakes and correcting them, and the fights continued until she called out.

"Irene Anson Derickson."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Who is your partner in the fight?"

Linda was expecting Selena to come out at this time but was shocked when

"It's Miss Aista Asil Johnson."

"Ye, yes, and who will be the opponent?"

"I and Miss Selena Gomez."

.

.

.

The four of them stepped forward, facing each other. Seline against Aista, and Irin against Siron.

[Look at this painting, the story's villains are fighting its heroes, heh heh heh, who will win?!]

Clink

Clink

Clink

Clink

The four of them drew their swords together.

They looked at each other and advanced slowly.

"Yaaa!"

Siron collided with Irin, and Seline with Aista.

Siron moved faster than Seline, so he collided earlier. After the collision, he delivered a low blow after dodging Irin's strike, but Irin avoided it by jumping high and striking Siron while he was in the air, however, Siron dodged the strike and moved from his place.

When Irin touched the ground, he found Siron advancing towards him at great speed, so he retreated backward, avoiding Siron's strike.

After that, he pushed Siron's sword away and lightly struck Siron on his shoulder, but Siron barely avoided the damage and started to speed up his strikes.

A cascade of blows began to advance towards Irin, a horizontal blow, a vertical blow, and a blow from above.

Irin was parrying the blows repeatedly and blocking all of them. Irin retreated backward due to the momentum of the blows until he reached close to Aista and Seline, and the girls' fight was less fierce and exciting than the fight between Siron and Irin, as Aista was nothing more than a spoiled girl and Seline was no different.

But Seline had trained for three hours, while Aista had watched her father train since childhood, so she memorized the moves and began to feel more confident. As the minutes passed, the two sides became somewhat equal. Seline and Siron relied on dodging the opponent's blows and then attacking with a counterattack that aimed to strike extreme places in the body with the least movement, so when the opponent defends with all their strength and most of their energy is drained, Siron is in an ideal position to attack.

Aista struck Seline's sword, which was trying to strike her in the neck, and pushed it away from her, giving her an empty space that she was able to exploit well, and Aista placed her sword on Seline's neck, and thus one fell.

"Seline Gomez has lost."

When Siron heard this news, he felt that his time was running out, so he sped up his attack on Irin and began to move to another corner so that the opponents would not attack him from two sides.

At that moment, Irin felt that he had to win, that winning this battle meant that he would surpass him. He wasn't thinking about the sword at that moment, unlike Siron, who was now thinking of nothing but the sword, but Irin's mind was fully focused on winning, and although there was no prize for his victory, his victory now meant that he was the best in the young generation.

"Swish."

Aista attacked Siron at the same time he was parrying Irin's blow, but at the last moment, he was able to direct the blow to the air after moving backward suddenly and with perfect speed, and at the same time, he attacked straight and placed his sword on Aista's stomach and poked her lightly.

"Aista Johnson has lost."

The students began to respect Siron more, as he was the only one among them who was able to turn the result of two against one in his favor and at the same time eliminate one of the competitors.

"Mr. Siron is amazing."

"Yes, but he seems very lonely."

"What are you thinking, you fool? Didn't you see his fiancée fighting? You should remember who you are and who they are. Don't try to step into the abyss with your feet."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I will love him one-sidedly and accept this only."

"As for me, I love His Highness the Prince."

"Heh, and you say I'm a dreamer."

Girls from another row whispered as they watched the duel.

Back to the fight, both fighters were tired, so they started to change their plans and rely more on counterattacks.

"Now the duel has turned into a chessboard."

Professor Linda stretched and smiled.

Every time Irin attacked, Siron met him by parrying the attack and at the same time attacked, and Irin parried the attack, and so on until fatigue and sweat appeared on these beautiful faces.

After a minute, Irin could not move his hands, while Siron looked much less tired, thanks to the presence of the quick healing skill.

Siron took advantage of the weakness and delivered a powerful blow. Irin tried to parry it with both hands but could not, as he was facing a person with the strength of a giant, and Irin was almost dead from exhaustion.

"Huff huff huff, ah..."

Irin fell to the ground panting, and Siron stood in front of him, placing his sword on his neck.

"Irin Anson Dirkson has lost, the winner is Siron Fad Yousburg."

You won the match!

Earned 2000 points.

Earned the Dragon Elixir.

After the match, Erin shook hands with Siron and announced,

"Hello everyone, I'm Erin. I'm here as your colleague, and I came here to learn how to become a better person. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, my colleague Siron Vad Yusburg and I had a little disagreement, so I declare that the small dispute between us is forgotten, and now we are colleagues and friends. Thank you."

Then, he handed the Ginl sword to Siron.

Congratulations! You are the first person to defeat the champion, so you will acquire a legendary skill:

Mind Reading:

A legendary skill that allows you to read the thoughts of a specific target whenever you want. Although you can't hear the thoughts of more than one person at the same time, this is the only drawback.

I hope these rewards are useful to you ^_^.

"System, do you know what I'm going to do with this skill?"

"No, I don't know :-D."

"I'm going to read Celine's thoughts to know the future, hehe."

"Oh, yes, I should have thought of that possibility before giving you this skill, but don't worry, I'll fix it."

Notification:

The Mind Reading skill has been removed because it is incompatible with the story type. It has been replaced with the skill:

Night Vision:

This skill enhances your eyesight, allowing you to see from a great distance. In addition to strengthening your vision, it allows you to see clearly in the dark.

Don't try to be smart again, understood :-(

"Damn it, system! You took a legendary skill from me and gave me night vision?"

Siron spat blood, only holding himself back. The skill that was taken from him was amazing and would have made many things easier for him, but deep down, he knew the system didn't care about anything and saw him as nothing more than someone it could dispose of at any time.
