Chapter 6: 6 Months Training For The Exam FINALE

A/N: Wanted to get the training arc over so that the next chapter was the actual story from now on.

Thanks to anybody who fixes my writing mistakes in the paragraph comments, I really appreciate it and hope people carry on doing that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Months had passed, marking the end of the 4th month for training.

"Haa...Haa... I still can't beat you, Suzaku!" Asta smiled as he breathed heavily after having sparred with Suzaku once more.

"Hahaha! Don't stress about it, you've already beaten me in physical aspects. Once you've become accustomed to your anti-magic and whatnot, I'm sure you might be able to beat me at least once" Suzaku complimented.

"YEAH! I'll get stronger and faster, and then I'll be able to dodge ALL of your lightning, Suzaku!" A motivated Asta announced as he pointed at Suzaku.

"Of course of course" Suzaku pat his shoulder, "I'll head back to my training. See you at the church for lunch later"

"See ya!" Asta waved with a shout.

With 4 months passing, there was now 2 months left until the exam. Suzaku had used this time to improve his spell collection and their mastery, as well as gaining a few more stat points from things such as beating Yuno in a spar and defeating the occasional bandit or two that tried to steal from Hage, and more.

[Godspeed (Basic) -> Godspeed (Intermediate)] 

[Heaven's Judgement (Basic) -> Heaven's Judgement (Intermediate)]

For upgrading them to intermediate, Suzaku had received 2000 Points for both (6000 total because of 'First time' extra Points)

Suzaku had been at intermediate for a while for both these spells, but he felt like he was on the borderline of reaching the Advanced mastery for both.

'Maybe with a strong enough opponent I'll reach Advanced'

The next thing that showed was some new lightning spells that had all reached the Basic level: There were 3 to be exact.

The first one was named 'Lightning Spear'. This spell was based off of Misaka Mikoto. This spell was a simple lightning spell that discharged a single beam or multiple beams of lightning wherever Suzaku wanted from his body (E.g. his hand, forehead, etc) and could be used from any range.

This spell was nearly comparable to his Heaven's Judgement in strength and speed, but at the basic level, the further the spear the less power of it. Fortunately, similar to Heaven's Judgement, it didn't use up a lot of mana.

The second spell was 'Thunderclap and Flash'. This spell was based off both Zenitsu and Killua. This was a spell that's used only in Godspeed mode, and is an AoE spell. At the basic level, Suzaku would appear as a purple blur as he struck his opponents with his lightning claws. Unfortunately, as it was stacked with Godspeed, it would deplete a lot of his mana, so at most he would probably be able to use it 3 times if he wanted mana to spare.

The final spell was 'Thunder God's Cage'. This was a personal-made spell that Suzaku created. It's a spell that could be used for both defence and support. For defence, similar to Noelle's Sea Dragon Nest, Suzaku would have a cage of purple lightning that would encase people inside it. For support, Suzaku could use this spell to trap an enemy in the cage and deal lightning tick-damage over time.

At the basic level, the defensive cage is quite weak and could be broken by most, but was fortunately relatively big so could protect a large group of people (About 50 or so). For support, the spell wasn't hard to break out, but if broken out of it would deal some explosive damage to the opponent.

With all these spells reaching the Basic level, Suzaku received another 1500 Points.

[Points: 6000 -> 7500]

Finally, the upgrades for Heaven's Judgement and Godspeed includes:

- Godspeed (Intermediate): Keep form for 30-55 Minutes Max, mana deplete over time still but not as much, Allows for low supersonic speed (Excluding Magic and Agility Stats), and the lightning claws are tougher and stronger, and are able to grow larger with enough concentration.

- Heaven's Judgement (Intermediate): The column of lightning can now be controlled to 30cm-1 metre thick, able to destroy a wall with ease as the minimum, range increased to 100m max (With current Magic Stat), only takes 1 second for a bundle of lightning to strike.

With those spells made and upgraded, that put 5 spells in his arsenal.

'Coming up with a spell is quite hard, even with all the influences from other animes' Suzaku thought.

The next important thing was the points gained. Over the 2 months, Suzaku had defeated Yuno, which gave him 4000 Points for beating him, but no extra points as it wasn't his first time beating a 'Major Character'. 

[Points: 7500 -> 11,500]

The next set of points was from around 100 bandits over the 2 month period. As the bandits were normal people with magic, they didn't give many points.

[100 Bandits beaten, 5 points awarded for each one... 500 Points awarded]

[Points: 11,500 -> 12,000]

Suzaku realised that, unfortunately, he wouldn't get points whenever he sparred with Asta or Yuno more than once. That didn't stop him though as he still needed experience and stuff.

The next important thing Suzaku had checked was the small Shop that the system and boy was he shocked when saw the what was on the top of the shop that was heavily highlighted and in bold when he first discovered it:

['RESPAWN TOKEN' - 100,000 Points. This token is used as another life. If the user were to die, this token would automatically activate and give the user another life. User will respawn in an undesignated area after death.]

[P.S. THIS ITEM IS A ONE-TIME PURCHASE]

The next thing he did was buy a katana he found. Why? Because he found it cool as hell! It also allowed Suzaku to start training his next spell he planned to make over the remaining 2 months after. The best thing about it was that it was indestructible, according to the system.

[Points: 12,000 -> 11,500] [Katana Image]

The katana stored itself in Suzaku's grimoire, which he found both interesting and cool.

Now that that was over, it was time for the last 2 months of training.

.

"Man, you guys are super-duper strong! I'm jealous!" Asta laughed as he, Yuno and Suzaku all sat down on the log under the skull they always sat on.

"Speak for yourself... your body is one crazy thing, Asta" Yuno replied with a small smile.

"For real, I can't believe you reached that strength and speed after 6 months... do you not have a limiter on your body or something?!" Suzaku groaned, earning a bellowed laugh from Asta and a low chuckle from Yuno.

"HAHAHA! Thanks guys... that means a lot!" Asta thanked, thinking about the fact that he doesn't have magic but is still able to be this strong, 'Well, that's how it should be! After all, I'll become the wizard king!'

If Suzaku had to estimate Asta's strength right now, he'd say he was definitely more stronger than he was originally for the magic knight exam, body-wise at least.

As for Yuno... well, he wasn't really sure because he was barely seen in the anime until later as it was focused on Asta, but he was probably stronger Suzaku figured.

"The magic knight exam is tomorrow... you guys ready?" Suzaku looked at Yuno and Asta who had excited smiles on their face as they replied with "Yeah!"

.

.

Over the last 2 months, these are how Suzaku's spells are looking:

Unfortunately, his Heaven's Judgement and Godspeed was truly halted at the Intermediate level, so he focused on his other magics he made.

His previous 3 spells upgraded to the Intermediate level, and these were their improvements now:

Lightning Spear (Intermediate) - The power of the spear was constant no matter how long it reached, the max length is around 50m, the strength and speed have improved, and Suzaku can now use the spell from two areas instead of 1 (E.G. Out of both hands, or one hand and his back, etc).

Thunderclap and Flash (Intermediate) - Faster and stronger in Godspeed mode, depletes less mana (Can be used more times), high change of paralysing opponents for a few seconds. Plus, though weaker and slower, TaF can now be used without Godspeed. 

Thunder God's Cage (Intermediate) - Cage more durable for both support and defence, deals more damage for support for tick-damage and explosive damage if broken, defence big enough to protect 100-200 people.

This awarded him another 6000 points total.

[Points: 11,500 -> 17,500]

The final thing was another spell Suzaku created: 'Thunder God's Excalibur' 

Due to it being the basic level, Suzaku got another 500 Points, making him have 18,000 now.

[Thunder God's Excalibur (Basic)] - Suzaku pulls out his katana from his grimoire and infuses his lightning into the blade. Suzaku puts the katana above his head and produces a lightning blade that reaches 50 metres in length max with a width of 5cm max (Able to control it). Suzaku then does a downward slash with the sword which does linear AoE to its opponents. Unfortunately, the sword does not different enemy and ally, so Suzaku may hit his teammates and others with his move]

Next up, the magic knight exam!
