Chapter 103 - Slyvia VS Jack (2/2)

Everyone was stunned. Why was the number one student, a third-year, calling a second-year student boss? The rest of Ray's teammates didn't even know how to react.

Ray finally shook his head to which Jack nodded.

”Okay, I won't hold back,” Jack said as he pulled out his giant greatsword. ”I thought you might have been the boss's girlfriend or something.”

”I'm not his girlfriend.” Slyvia snapped back with a red face. ”We're just really good friends.”

Although Slyvia was shocked by everything going on, the surprise made her feel calmer. She was no longer shaking with nerves.

”And the first match of the day will start in 3….2…1…”

The warhorn played signalling the start of the first round.

Slyvia started cautiously, her mind was clear and she needed to see Jack's skill level. She allowed Jack to attack first and that's what he did. With no hesitation, Jack swung his greatsword down at Slyvia. Slyvia rolled out of the way causing the sword to smash and form a crater in the ground.

”That attack was so powerful!” Dan shouted. ”Her shield will be useless against that thing.”

Although the others didn't want to say it, they thought the same thing.

Slyvia allowed Jack to continue to attack widely and Slyvia dodged each one of them. It looked like Jack was playing whack a mole. Slyvia noticed that Jack attacked so widely he left many openings to attack back. Originally, she thought that Jack was perhaps setting up a trap wanting her to attack there. After all, she was facing the number one student in the Academy.

But after a while, she realised that Jack was just being reckless. This time when Jack came in for a swing, Slyvia moved out of the way and attacked back. But as her sword touched Jack's body, her blade bounced back as if she was hitting a solid wall.

Slyvia was currently using the same amount of Ki she always had. She didn't want to use the gift that Ray had given her just yet and she also didn't believe someone's body would be hard enough to withstand an attack from an advanced tier weapon.

”Didn't Slyvia just get an advanced tier weapon?” Martha asked.

”Yeah, she's using it now,” Ian replied.

This spectacle made Gary think he was incredibly lucky to get an opponent like Harry. With Gary's intermediate duel blades, he could never hope to put a scratch on Jack's body. Although he felt bad for Slyvia, he needed to win his fight more than anything so he could go through to the All Kingdom Tournament.

After Slyvia's sword bounced back off Jack's body, Jack wasted no time in attacking, swinging his giant sword at her. Slyvia managed to bring her shield in front of her just in time.

The sword came down and smashed down on the shield sending a loud ring through the stadium. Slyvia was being pushed down from the strength and weight of the sword and her shield was slowly breaking apart.

She had no choice now; she focused the extra Ki around her body and pushed with all her strength. The shield pushed the sword away and is it did, pieces of the shield went flying everywhere.

”Your stronger than you look,” Jack said. ”Now it's getting interesting.”

”Ten minutes, that's all I have,” Slyvia thought as she threw the rest of her broken shield away and charged in at Jack.
