Chapter 29- The Black Paladin

As Kazuki pulled out his scythe, and an immense dark aura enveloped the entire arena. The dark energy could not be handled by some of the student's so Helgard activated the arena's magic barrier so that the audience can peacefully watch. The shield can block up to 5th tier magic so it's almost indestructible. The students took their seats and the battle continues. The two nobles charged at Kazuki with their flaming swords but every time Kazuki blacks their attack using the scythe, they would experience fear for a short time.

Sakura and Maggie who were in the side was astonished. They never expect that Kazuki could control his scythe. They remembered seeing Kazuki practice everyday and thought that he could wield it freely now.

In the center of the arena, a large explosion was heard and everything was enveloped in smoke. It was a 4th tier explosion spell activated by combining the power of the two nobles. There's a chance that their mana reserves will completely deplete but it was worth the risk since they acknowledged Kazuki's power.

As the smoke cleared, they saw a shadow holding a scythe. It's like the god of death has descended in the arena. His bloodlust aura became more powerful that even the arena's barrier couldn't completely seal it. The audience in the arena turned pale when they the felt bloodlust aura from Kazuki. Though they only felt a little fear, they knew that the arena could hold up to 5th tier spellss and auras are also included. That means Kazuki is more powerful than what they think.

The two nobles inside felt Kazuki's strong aura and wet their selves. As the smoke from the explosion cleared, a tall figure was seen standing behind Kazuki.

" You dare plan to kill my master?" a dark voice roared.

Helgard realized who it was and activated the stone barrier to block the audience's view. This was to protect Kazuki's secret as the future king of Order and a hero.

As the smoke cleared a paladin was seen. He was different from the others because he is colored black. He was also emitting a different aura from the other paladins. The normal paladins gave off an aura filled with pride and a will to protect but he gives off an aura of absolute loyalty and bloodlust.

The two nobles who were dumbfounded couldn't read the situation and charged at Kazuki. Helgard could only facepalm upon seeing how the two nobles act recklessly. The dark paladin who was beside Kazuki charged at the two nobles cutting their heads off. Helgard was shocked because his eyes couldn't catch up with the paladin's speed. In all his years of combat, this is his first time seeing someone almost a fast as sound.

The black paladin Took the two noble's heads and brought them to Kazuki. "Master! Here are the heads of the foolish nobles who planned to kill you" he said while kneeling.

Kazuki was snapped back to reality due to the paladin's voice. His head thirsts for information about the new paladin and why he's different.

"Who are you?" he asked

" I am Yozuko, your personal bodyguard." He replied still kneeling on the ground.
