Chapter 60 One Hit K.O

[Supreme Dragon Of Fire Agri Says it is pointless to fight him.]

'I don't care if it is, I want to fight him.'

[Supreme Dragon Of Fire Agri Sighs.]

'Sigh this Sigh that, I'm going to keep annoying him until he accepts.'

My thought process was, that if I kept annoying the first rank, he will eventually get tired and accept.

No matter what, I knew I would lose, But I still wanted to test myself.

How do I fare against someone who is two ranks higher than me?

Will I lose instantly? Or will I at least be able to put up a fight? Or just a few measly hits that would do close to no damage?

I was curious, But more than that I was excited.

If I lost, I would train even harder to best him in combat the next time.

Although I don't know why Agri Is that adamant in saying it's no use.

I mean, You could still try, right?

'Anyways, he sure is attentive today.'

I was not wrong.

The first rank had slept through the entire first day of cla.s.s but now he was attentive.

He probably was tired was the conclusion I came up with.

But is he paying attention?

His eyes, instead of being glued towards the hologram that was being shown to us by our homeroom teacher Douglas explained mana control of other elements besides the elements you had an affinity for.

His eyes however were glued to the desk and he had a weird expression on his face as if he was deep in thought.

He was completely disregarding this lecture and was thinking about something else.

'Oh well, I just have to wait until Training Cla.s.s.'

All I had to do was wait, Until the training, the cla.s.s came, and just take all these cla.s.ses with patience.

Patience was the one thing I was proud of.

The one thing that I had great pride in.

***

[Training Cla.s.s]

Hah!

It was working!.

My constant taunts were getting to him! His expression was already of annoyance and I knew he couldn't withstand it any longer!

I don't know what kept his mind preoccupied today but whatever it was it was helping me.

Greatly.

Now only a few more taunts would be required to make him accept.

And finally, after torturing him for 45 whole minutes, He relented and said.

"If I win you never annoy me about a fight again, okay?"

"I request a du-Eh?what?"

I was momentarily surprised, I just expected him to say no again.

However, my surprise was short-lived as I ecstatically said.

"Wait? You accept?"

"Only if you never bother me again."

"Deal!"

Hearing his reply, I immediately rushed over to our instructor and told him about our duel.

After I told him, He looked over at Alan who nodded with an annoyed expression on his face.

"So he finally accepted huh."

The instructor said with a smirk on his face. The truth was that even he wanted to see the top two students in action.

"Yep!"

"Ok get to your positions on the platform."

And with that, Both of them made their way toward the opposite positions on the platform.

The other students, who had just now seen that the first rank and second rank were having a duel, crowded over to watch the fight.

Even Lucas, Who had never bothered to watch any matches, Had his eyes glued on the stage.

Elijah got his sword and took a stance, As he was getting ready, He noticed his opponent putting his spear away into apparently nothing.

It was in his hand for a moment but then disappeared.

Concluding that this was the same technique that he used to make the chips magically disappear during the fireworks festival, he asked.

"Why are you putting away your spear?"

"I don't need it."

...

...

His reply shocked Elijah, He was taking Elijah too lightly.

Was it Pride? Or was it arrogance?

Thinking about the nonchalant behavior his opponent was showing fired him up even more.

The nearby students who saw that Alan Had put his Weapon away while Elijah was Still holding his sword gossiped.

"Is he not going to use his spear?"

"But...Have we seen him use anything but a spear?"

Elaine and Serena spoke respectively.

It was true, They hadn't seen Alan Use anything else except his spear during training.

"Do you know anything about this Sabrina?"

Serena Naturally asked the only one who should have received information about her bodyguard before he was a.s.signed to her, However, Sabrina just shook her head.

Seeing this Serena Sighed, Her attempt to gather any information about the first Rank had failed.

In reality, Sabrina, Although she did not know the spear art Alan Practiced, What She did know was he also practiced a Melee art focusing on kicks.

The Dark leg if her memory served her correctly.

He had also asked her to not tell others anything if they asked about him, which was why she didn't say anything and just shook her head.

"3!"

And then, The Instructors voice rang out.

"2!"

It was about to begin.

"1!"

And it was time.

"BEGIN!"

As soon as the instructor's voice signaled the start of the match, Elijah didn't even waste a second before his sword was engulfed in flames and he was about to perform the strongest movement he could perform

//Burning Sword.

[Third Movement.]

[Purgatory Strike.]

Yet before he could charge forward and swing his sword, He felt a sudden and immense pain in his chest. It was so immense that he felt his chest had caved in, his ribs had been broken and punctured his lungs.

*Cras.h.!.+*

The pain he felt was so immense that he failed to realize he had already lot the match, The blow he had been dealt had been so strong that he had been sent cras.h.i.+ng into the wall of the training center.

His body fell with a thud, His training equipment on the chest broken, And his body leaking blood.

...

...

The students had failed to register what had just happened.

The moment the match began, The students eyeing Alan found his figure disappearing and appearing immediately in front of Elijah With his Waist turned, his entire body supported on only one leg with his other where Elijah was supposed to be.

Before he was sent flying that is.

Their minds had still not processed what had happened.

They turned to face their instructor. Hoping at least he would have an explanation. But even his face had a blank expression on his face.

As if even he was processing what had just occurred.

But suddenly he regained his composure and ran over to where Elijah Was and picked him up in a princess carry carefully and said.

"Winner, Alan Peccator, And you all go back to cla.s.s the moment the period ends."

And with that said, He rushed outside the training center carrying a bloodied and pa.s.sed-out Elijah in his arms.

When they turned their heads back towards the platform, They found the winner of this two-second duel walking toward the place he usually was when he trained his spear technique.

He took his spear and started repeating those perfect movements.

Meanwhile, the other students didn't even try to go back to training.

Their minds were still comprehending what the f.u.c.k had just happened.

***

's.h.i.+t.'

I may have gone too hard on him.

The moment the match started, I used

[Short Distance Teleport] to appear right in front of him and immediately used The Second Movement Of the Dark Leg Style[h.e.l.ls Barrage.]

Although it wasn't exactly a barrage of kicks because the one I was going to barrage with kicks flew from the first one.

And...if I'm not wrong...

Then I think I heard the sound of his bones shattering...
