24 The mock battles | Part III (2/2)
”What do you mean?” I answered
”Hey, I caught you looking at her. Are you going to deny it?”
”Huh?”
”Fire Blaze!”
”HA HA HA! Don't mind me. Who am I to judge, right?”
”You two! Pay attention!”
”—Yes!”
While the fire pillars are still overwhelming the instructor's doom-like tiny barrier, the intensity of the heat is still the same and there's an arm's length gap in between. He stood up and at the same time shouted.
”Support Enhancement: Enhanced combat, Body augment!”
”Fireballs!”
The disturbance of mana from her side is more daunting now. And though, his movement was much faster than before, he was able to get away from the two fire pillars. However, the barrage of fireballs from Arabella is not leaving him any room to dodge. He can evade it but not entirely, he blocks it using his broad sword and it dispels the moment it touches it.
”Fireballs!”
She continues hitting with her fire magic while the teacher dodges all the attacks. His movements were amplified by the moment he shouted his spell. Although the attacks are nullified when the sword is struck, the fireballs never cease.
”It's done.”
”What do you mean?” I asked Roe.
”The instructor is gaining distance while Arabella is busy attacking using her fire magic.”
”That's right! This test is almost done,” said the young woman wearing full armour.
The instructor is indeed gaining distance and since she stopped using her teleportation spell, he can see her now. He jumps from one place to another, making her believe she's in favour of the battle. Just when she tried another attack, the sword is in her neck, and the battle is over.
”Impressive, milady! The test is now over.”
I can see that everyone in the Knights Division enjoyed the fight as they approached her after she knelt and opened the bannister as she walked away from the stage. She somehow retreated elegantly as nothing had happened, and they were all cheering for her.
”That's a great battle!”
”You are awesome!”
”Fantastic spells!”
They were all really cheerful about her fight. She was surrounded by the Knights-to-be, and even Roe was there. He's something, really. The mage apprentices and I are waiting in the corner of the bannister as she approached us. Also, Pomell, even though he doesn't reveal it, I think he's going to congratulate her.
”Alright, everyone! Calm down! Next is Cedany! Come now, young warrior!
When that name was called, they were all very intrigued. However, a young woman wearing a full set of steel armour walked past us to the bannisters and to the stage carrying her long and sturdy-looking sword with a dazzling purplish-glow of crystal on its pommel. Well, her name is Cedany, huh. I wonder if she's like the instructor, a magic knight.
”Hey, lover boy! Your dame is fighting now. Cheer her up!”
”What are you saying, Roe?” I ask.
I really don't understand him even before. He's been acting so weird calling me strange things. Pomell who has been listening to him hit his head and rebuked him again. He's really odd. I, for one, don't feel anything sensual to her.
”That was an impressive fight, Arabella.”
I turned to her instead and praised her.
”Please, that was nothing. I'm delighted to see the rest of us going to have to fight here. So, now, lover boy. You 're not going to cheer your Lady Knight in shining armour a good cheer, huh?”
”You too?”
