16 One sided beat down (1/2)
Upon hearing my request one of the examiner's will be the judge of the duel and they even allowed us to use one of the testing rooms. That guy Roland brought about ten of his friends but he didn't bring that one guy what was his name, oh right Shun, I wonder why?
The judge then spoke ”The rules of this duel are as follows. Victory is given to the last man standing. If one side concedes then victory will be given to the other. Also if one kills his opponent then he will automatically lose. In this duel, you may use anything at your disposal. Do both contestants agree to the terms?”
”I agree” both Roland and I agree.
Hearing our response the judge nodded his head, ”get ready.” The moment he spoke, all of us took a stance. Roland and his ten lackeys took their sloppy stances, well except for Roland who actually had a pretty good stance.
I didn't want to do this but that guy just said something unforgivable. I took a stance, my true stance that I developed to kill the demon lord. Even if their weak I will go all out. I lowered my center of gravity and released a great amount of killing intent.
We weren't even starting but the opposition looked at me with fear their eyes. Those eyes tell me that they think this is hopeless all except Roland. He wasn't trembling as much anymore.
I see even though he was like that he is the son of the guard captain. Once he holds his sword he changes huh. The Judge was looking at me worried. He must be thinking that I would kill these kids. Well, I won't go that far, but I will teach Roland an unforgettable experience.
The judge hesitantly started the match. On the get-go, I used [wind step] to close the distance. When I suddenly appeared in front of them, being consumed by the fear that they felt through my killing intent they swung down their swords clumsily.
I used [falling rain] to counter, this was a counter I used in my previous world. Upon learning the techniques of my current life, I made great improvements to it. I combined some techniques from the water style to improve upon it. It looked like a basic counter move that uses the flow of the opponent to your advantage.
As their clumsy blades fall, I with my greatest speed used the momentum of their attack against them and forced them all to trip. After that, I released a series of blows aiming at the back of their necks. I hit them with the blunt side of the sword. After only seven seconds all ten of Roland's lackeys fell, and all that was left was the leader himself, Roland.
Roland's POV:
'How is this possible he was supposed to be a fake? How can he be so strong?! I who had nothing but the sword, who kept swinging my sword until my hands bled lost to this guy who has everything, Why?!'
Roland couldn't help but tremble in both fear and irritation as Edge approached him. 'I see... How can life be so unfair, he already has everything. Why is he given such talents as well...'
