"Hope that a healer reattaches your Arm!"
Alex shouted as he aimed at Vaan's arm when he had lost his balance.
"VAAAN!!"
Elara shouted in worry, but then,
*Clank*
Alex's sword was blocked by an Ice Wall that formed right in front of him. Alex's was dumbfounded,
And that was a mistake.
"Where are you looking at? Or did you forget that I was a Mage, dumbass?"
Vaan chuckled as he regained his balance and swung his sword, this time, Alex's reaction was a moment too late and,
"AaaaagaAAaggggHhhhh!!"
He shouted in agony as Vaan's sword slashed his chest, leaving a deep cut.
Blood came out without stop, the pain was so overwhelming that Alex's movements slowed down significantly,
*Clank* *Clank* *Clank*
He was still able to keep up with Vaan's sword attacks, however, in truth, Vaan was not a swordsman, he was a Mage.
In between their exchange, Vaan cast different spells, sometimes blocking Alex's sword, sometimes going on the offensive.
Alex was completely helpless, no matter what he did, it seemed as if Vaan had an answer to almost all his attacks, he was pushed into a completely helpless state, the skin on his arms was marred and burnt, both his legs were injured, there was a huge cut on his chest, almost every part of his body was hurt and it was only getting worse and worse.
He was losing his balance a lot more than before, he was losing in pure sword exchange, he failed to protect himself against the Magic Spells,
As the battle dragged on, the winner couldn't be more apparent.
"W-What…" Finely was shocked.
Honestly, he was already given the script of today's battle and things had gotten completely off the script, heck, it could even be said that it went in a completely opposite direction.
Vaan was never supposed to win, yet the battle had turned into a one-sided show in Vaan's favor.
"He is horrifying…"
Professor Isadora spoke with a grim look on her face.
Both Finley and Professor Alistair turned towards her, wanting to understand even a little bit of the situation,
"Let's not even talk about how he is moving, let alone fighting using his swords while casting spells, a few moments before, when Alex had tossed his sword away using his higher strength, Vaan clearly lost his balance, in that moment, it was clear form his expression that he was surprised by the sudden change in the momentum between their exchange,
However, while his expressions were still changing, the Magic Patterns in his Magic Circles had already started filling up.
He was put in a state of shock and before his expression could show it, he was already drawing Magic Patterns inside his Magic Circles,
That is simply inhumane, I have lived for 68 years old now, and never in my life have I ever seen a Mage capable of doing that.
And this includes Lady Astra.
She was brilliant, she was an amazing strategist who knew how to put herself in an advantageous situation in almost any situation, however, even Lady Astra was not capable of doing what he did back in her days.
In that case, Vaan has already surpassed his mother."
Professor Isadora revealed and all the people in the audience widened their eyes in sheer disbelief.
What people here did not know was that Professor Isadora was giving Vaan much more credit than he deserved.
It had only been a few months since Vaan came to this world.
He was talented, yes. n/()()(-//)-/1-(n
However, no matter how talented one can be, catching up to one of the biggest geniuses in the history of Agresia within a few months was simply not possible.
Vaan wasn't as excellent as Professor Isadora made it out to be, instead, he was cheating.
He had three little cuties helping him, these cuties were the ones managing all his spells while the only thing he focused on was swordsmanship.
In truth, it was a 4 versus 1 battle, an unfair battle where Alex had no shot at winning.
And of course,
Vaan was shameless enough to take all the credit,
"You weak ass femboy,
Hope that a healer reattaches your Arm!"
Repeating the words Alex said, Vaan swung his sword. Alex widened his eyes in horror, he tried his best to move away, he however, had already lost his footing and,
*Slice*
"AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!"
Alex's arm was chopped away.
With a ruthless expression on his face, Vaan placed his sword at top of his Alex's other shoulder, the meaning behind his actions were clear, with absolute horror engulfing his entire being,
"I Surrender! I Surrender!!"
Alex shouted with a pale face, the fear in his eyes sent goosbumps all over the audience's bodies, all of them were expecting a fierce battle today…
But to think the battle would be this bloody…
The new students were all terrified, this was only the second day, they dreaded their future days in the Academy, the old students didn't have any better reactions either.
All of them had solemn looks on their faces.
Most of the attention was on Vaan, the students from the Swords Division, however, were looking at a certain silver-haired student who stood up from his chair with an expressionless look on his face.
The rest of the students trembled when they noticed him moving, however, the silver-haired student simply walked away, not interested in further matters.
On the other side, after the judge announced the results, the students, especially the ones from the Magic Division shouted in excitement, a Mage had won against a Swordsman, it was a thing to celebrate.
The healers rushed onto the stage, knocking Alex unconscious and performing basic Heal Magic on him, he was soon taken into the infirmary.
"Are you alright? Do you need a healer to do a basic checkup on you?" One healer approached Vaan and questioned.
"If you have something that gets rid of sweat, that'd be great."
Vaan was direct.
"…hahaha."
The Healer laughed awkwardly,
"I can provide you a towel. Should I tell someone to bring it?"
"Don't worry, I was just joking."
Vaan shook his head.
The commentators summarized the entire match, ending the battle on an excited note.
Vaan, who was about to return to the room given to him was soon surrounded by a group of students,
"Sir Vaan! I am from the Academic Digest Club, I saw your battle today and couldn't help but be awed by your great performance, would you mind giving me an interview, I promise I will not take much of your time and will only ask relevant questions!"
"Sir Vaan! Please don't listen to him, nobody hasn't even heard of the Club named Academic Digest, I am from the Student Sentinels Club, our Club…"
"I am from the Campus Insights Club…"
"Sir Vaan, I am from…"
The students started talking over each other, making it difficult for Vaan to even understand what they were talking about, not that he was very interested in it in the first place.
"Shut the fuck up."
Vaan shouted in an authoritative tone as he rubbed his ears with an annoyed looks on his face.
"Mystic Stay Club, I will only give an interview to Clubs who have close relationship with the Mystic Stay Club, that person standing there is a member, go talk to him and once you have his permission, come to me. I will be staying in this room for an hour.
Now shoo away, don't bother me."
Vaan pointed at the Blonde who gave him the Celestial Garden Villa and returned to his room where Elara was waiting for him.
"Vaan…"
Elara rushed towards him with a worried look on her face. She grabbed his hands and observed every part of his body carefully. Vaan, of course, let her do whatever she wanted, the feeling of being taken care of by his lovely fiancée addictive.
"Are you okay?"
"Mhm, I am perfectly fine." Vaan replied with a light smile on his face.
"Please don't use swords from your next battle." Elara spoke, Vaan already told her he was going to use a sword before the battle, she was worried, but since Vaan was adamant, she couldn't convince him otherwise.
After today's battle, however, Elara was even more worried, her heart nearly exploded when Alex aimed at Vaan's arm,
"Sword battles are too dangerous, you can get hurt."
"Don't worry, there is no way these little friends of mine would let me get hurt. They are even better than me when it comes to spell casting, you know?"
Vaan spoke with a bright smile on his face.
"Krriii!"
"Gurruu!"
"Skiii!"
The three spirits all danced around excitedly, nodding at Vaan's words. Flamey even tried to go near Elara and assure her. Elara, however, couldn't see her.
"I-I know those Spirits are helping you… but I am still worried…"
Elara was still unsure, after all, it was difficult for her to trust something she couldn't see.
"Don't worry Elara, this was not the first time I fought using Magic and Swords together.
This was just the first time I won using it,
Normally… it is I who gets beaten up…"
Vaan spoke as he recalled his training sessions together with Orion.
'Right… he said he would continue the training sessions from today…'
At the same time, Vaan also recalled another depressing matter.
*Knock* *Knock*
Suddenly, a knock was heard.
"Sir Vaan, I have received the permission from the Sir Lucas, can I take a small interview now, I promise it will not take long."
