Class Test (5)

Dozens of Fire bullet were hurling toward her. Fire Bullet doesn't have explosive strength but explosive speed as it were leaving tails of projectiles.

Kiera jumped side-wise and dodge Fire Bullets aim toward her and charge forward. She keeps moving forward dodging all his attack skillfully and Beryl have no choice but to keep running back. Up until now, she didn't use any Art or Magic but he was unable to attack her in anyway.

Kiera is five meter away from him. Suddenly, He smirked.

Kiera took another step forward and ground below her feet start glowing red and explodes.

Boom.

A huge pillar of flames rose from the ground burning everything around it. Kiera at last moment jump sidewise but her legs get caught up in flames, Beryl smiles in excitement and throw fire bullets at her. Even she would have hard time dodging at this point!

Fire bullets were exactly in her front when she suddenly swings her sword. That was a bad move, since any fire attack have explosive nature it will explode....

Fire bullets were split in half but instead of exploding, It pass through her, She jumps forward and slash her sword downward. Beryl's mouth was still open in surprise before heavy sword stops in front of his face. Beryl still can't make up and down of his situation but an emotionless voice wake him up.

"Admit defeat."

"I...lost."

Beryl is not the only one his mouth open. My situation is not much better since I didn't understand much. Fire didn't explode but why? A skill? But I feel like things are not that simple.

"Lucas."

"Hmm?"

"What was that just now? A Skill? An Art?"

"You don't know??!!"

He was surprised by lack of knowledge but I was not...

"Just tell me what happen."

"She used her swordsmanship though I also don't know what actually happened."

According to Lucas, All weapon user has practice some kind of martial manual that is their core of fighting proficiency. Some martial manual give high speeds while some explosive strength and there is also some secret art that gives mysterious effect just like Kiera's. I just understand I have no such thing on me.

I only have knowledge related to books, Social and general knowledge is not something books can give. I didn't bother to ask Lucas about his martial manual. It is not a good thing to poke at other privacy.

Looking at her fight, I was hoping to measure her strength but nothing comes as she didn't even bother to use her Art. She did use something but I don't understand a shit!!

But one thing is confirm that she is strong, Normal people would have fell in his trap as fire pillar would have engulf them. His timing was perfect but target was strong or else he would have won.

I feel a gaze on me; I turned my head and found Alice looking in my direction. Our eyes met but I didn't turn away as staring is one of my forte.

'Ah, Screw it. I am feeling uncomfortable.'

I turn my head away from her. Her purple fills like enlarging as I stare on them. It feels like it will swallow me if I stare more.

Referee confirmed her opponent condition and declared.

"Win goes to Kiera, Class A."

A message rang in every Class A student I-Link. Every open their I-Link and checked it.

[Congratulation, your class have finish your test.]

"""Yay"""

Cheers rang among our class as everyone checks the message.

"We won, we won."

"I was worried what was going to happen but we actually win."

"It is all thanks to Alice and Kiera. Both of them are awesome."

"I never meet a girl as beautiful as Alice."

Everyone start praising as student of our class start flocking on her. She finally removes her gaze from me as her redirect toward student surrounding her. Half of students flock over Alice and remaining ones went toward Kiera.

And for God's sake, Why the hell someone is praising her beauty? Isn't her intelligence was the reason for our win..... Lucas?

That bastard, He really doesn't see anything besides her face and body.

I turned around and leave. It is better train for next time instead of being loser.

Reaching Training Room, I went for the one assigned for G-Rank. Training Rooms are rather classified based on ranks. According to Rank, material and space are given.

They are made up of materials that are able to endure assault the respective rank's attack.

I start my training as arrows start hurling toward me. I start deflect them but number of arrows keep increasing. Actually, I figured out that parrying needs high reflexes and perfect timing; what is better than deflecting high speed arrows for both?

Woosh. Wooosh. Wooosh.

Dozens of arrows hurl toward me but I deflect them all. Amount of arrows I can deflect are significantly more than past.

There is one thing I don't want to talk about but actually I don't know anything about sword training and just doing what I think is right. I don't have a teacher and well there is also internet or multiple ways but I really don't like them. I can't trust anything besides myself. That's why, I am training alone who knows I may have an unexpected enlightenment.
