A Heated Fight Inside The Rain

As Ryuma knew about the identity of the guy in robed, he laughed. From the start, he knew that he had no chance of defeating him.

"Hahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! O your greatness... What is your purpose to come here?!! I thought you were just sitting at the round table. Meeting with those who are the strongest. Ain't that right?! SAGE MELIUM?!!!" 

Sage Melium. One of the thirteen 'highest beings' is from 'Magihen'. Magihen is the faction that is recognized by the whole world as the group of strongest magicians who maintain the world's order. Only the one who is recognized as the strongest magician is qualified to be called 'The High Being'. But because Magihen only has thirteen seats, There might be another magician who's on par or even stronger than them. 

Sage Melium, on the other hand. Is one of the most mysterious person among the Magihen. Since he normally doesn't talk. He only communicated with the letters and stuff. Meanwhile, Line who just woke up, Looks at Ryuma who's laughing in front of Sage Melium. She's confused wether he is laughing because he was helpless or it was because he knows that he can beat him. 

While Ryuma was laughing, he immediately launched a surprise attack on Sage Melium by launching a water cutter on his face. It didn't scratch him or rather, there's something that is blocking the attack. 

"Huh? Mana Shield? Not fair your greatness~ You should've gone easy just for a weak kid like me~" As he said that Ryuma cast a consecutive water piercing all over the Sage Melium. Just to be blocked by the mana shield. As he's still attacking with water piercing, Ryuma pulled some string by launching a waterball onto Melium's right side. 

The waterball stopped before he hit the shield. Melium noticed the waterball was spinning and pulsating from the inside. And then, Immediately exploded on his face. But the mana shield didn't even scratch. Ryuma then launched a countless waterball or rather, waterbomb. Even still, the waterbomb didn't even manage to make a crack on the shield. 

Ryuma decides to come close to the sage to fight him in close combat. As Ryuma comes close to him, a light comes out from behind Sage's head. It was a light beam. 

"Light? Fire? Inside the rain?" The beam immediately sends Ryuma to quite a distance. But despite that, he's still standing on two feet. And his two arms which he used to block the beam, leaving an obvious fresh burn mark. Even in the rain, the fire beam has packed quite a power. 

("Heh, so he's called the sage not for nothing")

"But even so! Thou really had underestimated this small creature in front of you O greatness!!! I will prove my worthiness... BY CRUSHING THAT GODDAMN SHIELD!!!"

Ryuma then controls countless droplets of water and spins them around him and the sage. Creating bubble-like water in the form of a circle around them. Line who was outside of the circle, watching the fight, was in awe because she definitely felt like Ryuma was going easy on her and Valena. 

Because the Ryuma she's watching right now has the eyes that it intends to kill. Which means that he definitely holds back on her. Meanwhile, the sage who's inside the circle, can feel that the mana shield was cracked from a constant water cutter and water piercing. Line's eyes were wide open. 

"Rule ground?! No, it can't be! He hasn't even learned his 'Unique' yet! Does that mean he's creating that just from an intuition?!" The sage's shield has finally broken. But, the sage that's been standing in the same spot since the beginning has vanished from Ryuma's view. 

(He disappeared?!) Ryuma instinctively looked behind his back, a small light beam came from outside the circle and pierced his right chest. Ryuma couched up blood. But he still hadn't given up as he saw the sage standing outside the circle. 

"I'M NOT DONE YE-" Ryuma then felt a small object just hit him on his forehead. His views were blacked out. An hour has passed. Ryuma opens his eyes. He was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling. He looked to his left, there was Line who was sitting on a chair with her hands and legs crossed. Valena leaned her back on the wall with her hands crossed and there was also Sage Melium who was standing behind Line. 

"Yo, kid. Did you wake up already? It's only been two hours. You kid sure are tough, aren't you? Ryuma immediately has his guard up by staring at Line. Not because she brought him here. It's because of the fact that he just lost.
