Meeting with a Beauty (4)

A week passed I have been training by myself. I can feel my muscle tightening and swelling when I clench them with my palm. I have a feeling that in a month, my body will bulk up enough that even Lucas will look like a child.

Today, A Brave one has gathered up the courage and challenged our 1st Rank student for ranking battle. Students are fired up as all students are interested in the strength of 1st Rank student also known as Adam White.

Fight was taking place in roof of the training building as all fight takes places there.

In one side of the stage was standing was a teenager with black hair and black eyes while standing straight with his hand on waist looking at everyone outside the stage.

A grey hair teenager with crimson eyes, sharp and charming features was standing on the other side. His looks won't lose to Adam or Lucas and his expression holds an unbreakable determination to win while his hands holds spear along with cyan color blade with pointy tip. He is Leon Knight Rank-3 and also son of head of Adventure guild.

Adventure Guild is organization that takes care of all Guilds, Hunter and Dungeon related troubles. There are in way under Atraxia as they follow their rules but at the same time they are independent to deal with all situation related to them.

Student flocks around the stage as it is first time two of Top 10 are going against each other. All other Top 10 are also here to enjoy the battle. Ethan and Lucas are in the middle of the crowd while waiting for match to start. Adam is still at the Rank F- while Leon is at Rank F, there is rank difference between them but no one gives a damn about it! Everyone is just waiting for battle between top ranks to take place.

Professor climbs the stage with steady steps as a isolating barrier covers the stage in a cube. It didn't take long for professor to stand at his position along the centre of the boundary.

Professor looks at both of them for confirmation to start the battle. Both of them give a nod to confirm.

"Let's go boys."

Leon picks his spear and straightens his back as he took a stance of throwing.

He spear suddenly glow yellow as he charge his attack. From Color, I can say his Spear Art related to light magic.

Adam also raised his hand but instead of attacking, He brings it to close to his mouth and yawned.

Everyone was surprised at his action. He is Rank-3 for God's sake; at the least give him the respect he deserved!

Leon eyes twitched at Adam's action. He was infuriated enough that he almost lost control of his attack. He still charged his attack in hopes to put a hole on his arrogant face.

Once his attack charged, Adam notices it and sweeps his hand forward. Both of them release their attack at the same times.

[Unbending Star]

[Fire Waves]

"What?!"

Leon's eyes widen in surprise after he throw his spear.

Not only him, others were astonished as they notice his near instant casting speed. Other Mages takes at the least 2 second to cast their normal attack while it takes long time to charge their AOE spell. Training can decrease it but it didn't make it instant though it didn't seem same for his spell.

All Arts works same, When user increase their proficiency to proficient, They are gain another spell or attack from their respective Arts and casting time also decrease with it. At Basic, User only get normal attack like Fire Ball, Water Ball etc. while at Proficient level, user are able to use large scale spell like Fire Waves.

Adam's Fire Waves is another level compare to other spell, It is most likely a Celestial Art. If hit, even someone a rank above him will have hard time to deal with, not to mention someone only a sub-rank above him.

Both attack hit each other and explode as they collide. Sound of explosion rang out in whole arena and both attacks cancel each other out.

He ran forward and pick up his spear as he charge forward but he stops halfway as dark clouds catch into his vision.

A chill ran down in his back as he stared at the dark clouds. Dark clouds cover the sky as lightning crackles in them giving him a life threatening signal.

[Storm Explosion]

Dozens of silver lightning arrows falls from the sky, exploding the moment it touches surface. Leon was covers in explosions with no way out. It didn't look like he will come alive as thunderous roar resounded with every arrow explosion. His Lightning spell is significantly stronger than his fire spell.

Boom.

It didn't take long for explosion to die down while Leon finally comes out albeit not in good shape. His clothes were ragged while his hairs were messed up; His skin had darkened due to continuous explosion. He most likely had some way of defense as his condition is lot better than expected.

He had hard time standing on his legs as he was staggering on his feet but it doesn't seem like he have any intention to giving up.

[Fire Waves]

A Waves of Heat again release toward him but this time before it can hit him or Leon can move, Referee interferes and stops the match.

"Winner: Adam White"

There was silence among the student as Adam wins. Of course, Silence is expected, Students were expecting long bloody battle where it will be hard to decide winner but it actually ended so quickly that no one was expecting.

Everyone understands one thing that is his strength. No one in academy while mess with him again.
