9) Match 1 (2)

Damn, she's fast...

"I swear... I was in deep thought, I didn't think i was looking at them... Please Understand."

"What Was that thing in your pants poking me jsut a while ago?"

"See, it's a pen.. A pen. Look."

I showed a pen that was in my pocket.

Honestly the thing that Poked her was not this pen, but that was a human reaction, I couldn't do anything about that.

Afterall, I'm a virgin...

"it felt bigger than that pen on your hand."

What? Do you need to specify that? God damn it, who's the one talking about the size now?

Shouldn't this be considered teasing?

Well, maybe not.

"No, this is the only pen i have in my pocket. Stop saying weird things."

"I.. See, well it doesn't matter anyway... You should be glad I'm going easy on you... I'm only using my fists and not the magic book because I'm afraid of hurting someone as weak as you."

Well... Thanks for that i guess.

She seemed to calm down atleast.

"So, don't expect any more mercy from me."

"I won't, I was just afraid of you killing me because of a misunderstanding."

Wait a second... It didnt dawn on me until now but...

I... I'm currently talking to a main heroine of a Game aren't i?

A beautiful one at that.

I'm having a normal Conversation with her.

Well, I'm sure she won't talk to me again after this... And, I'm too afraid to approach her anyway.

So, i should atleast try and impress her with my skills.

"Inferno"

"1st Form"

"Flame Vengence"

I used my most powerful skill in my arsenal.

Flame vengence. A 3 star Skill that allows me to create and control flames at will.

I'll infuse it to my sword...

It was my most powerful form.

It took me 3 days to find this in the Volcanic Mountains of Dolomite.

I got 2 other skills of different Elements, but i won't disclose the Contents of those skills yet.

And, Each of this skills have 5 stages.

I was in the 1rd stage of 'Inferno'.

There were 4 more stages to unlock.

Each stage resembled 1 star power.

Thanks to this skill, I can use flames at will.

Tho, it consumes a lot of mana... This was the best i could come up with.

There were 10 more minutes before the end of the round.

"Hmm... Finally getting serious are we?"

She said sarcastically...

Like she cares about my powers.

I used my agility and moved forword

a quick step. Probably stronger than my normal speed.

"Aha, That surprised me. So, that wasn't your fastest speed. Using Wind Magic, While having flames on your hand. I'm impressed."

She said, She was really serious right now. Unlike her usual foolish expression, She seemed like a baddie onee san.

Everyone would dream about talking to.

Totally different from her usual demeanour.

She looks quite cool and Impressive... Unlike her usual Cute and Protecting her at all costs vibes.

The current her vibe was that of someone who'd protect the world from danger if it ever befell.

"This isn't just a matter of being Impressed though... You... Have talent, You know how to use your measly level of mana. Your low agility and sense will make any person give up and yet, You are using them quite well."

Well, here's the yapper. A 10 Stat for Intelligence, That was her.

She was unfazed by the attacks i was launching at her as she moved around Swiftly and slammed me on the nape of my neck.

Which resulted in me falling down.

But, i got up... I could not afford to stay down.

I waited 9 seconds so i could delay those 9 seconds. As i got up on the 10th second.

She frowned.

"Why, Don't you give up? You can't win against me. I'm an S Rank, I'm not even using my weapon and yet, Look at your sta-

"Second Stage."

"Crimson Aura."

The next moment, Flames redder than Crimson flared up from my sword, Engilfing it whole as it turned colour from Black to orange.

It's absorbing my Flames...

How Impressive.

I took my stance, Pulled my spped up, Used the remaining aunce of mana in my body and flung myself towards the saintess.

I probably won't win in a normal attack with thr Grimoire, But... If it's a fight with strength and agility...

I a swordsman would win.

So i leapt at her... Probably nver been this fast before.

I than gripped my sword and went past her as i slashed horizontally.

Than, I stopped myself from falling from the ariena and than pushed my back again, lept forward for a veryical strike to the head.

i contunued using the ,H,H,V,V,H,V,H,H.

Until i used the last ounce of mana and changed the Sword aura to Wind and lept forward again.

Swung the sword at her nape and than Vertically slashed from the top of her her to the bottom of her Torso.

It did not connect.

I went and went and went...

But, not one attack landed.

She was blocking it quite well.

Well, There's no point in underestimating an S Rank.

But, i was sure of one thing in this fight

"I'm sure by the end of these 5 years you'll be a monster."

She said.

"I'm done. I forfeit."

"What? Why???"

"Huh? What? Why did i just say that?"

"Match forfeited... By Emilia Von Kimberlite."

"No... Wait... No..."

"Well, once you say it it can't be taken back sorry."

"No.. Way. Yooouuuu.. What have you done? Did you use some kind of Powers on me to amke me forfeit?"

"What? No... You are an S Rank. I'm merely a C Rank. How could i?"

Even i didn't understand why she forfeited? Is there any point in doing so?

There's a problem with the saintess.

She has what we call The split personality.

Her, Intelligence stat suddenly sky rocketed after she made a contract with the gods.

After doing so, She had to use 2 seperate personalities to control her Intelligence.

Vecause, The real Saintess is quite dumb and Naive.

To make ut so that the Saintess doesn't lose her individuality.

She created another personality of herself.

A women who would come out whenever There's a battle.

She always looks ahead in the future.

That's the problem though... what's she plotting?

"Well since a person of lower rank defeated a person of a higher rank... You'll be given a reward."

Well whatever. Since, I'm getting a reward... Who cares about the aftermath.
