A month is neither long nor short. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, a month is still too short for those who want to get a good place in the competition. Of course, people who think that this month is short are nothing more than people who are dissatisfied with themselves and think that they are not as good as others. In fact, these people are also people who are not confident in themselves, and no matter how much time they are given, they will never think that this time is enough. Even so, they are considered geniuses by people on the outside. However, they are only at the bottom of this academy.

It's been a good month for Leo. It's time to train and it's time to rest, and I haven't fallen into that so-called tension and disrupted my rhythm.

"Ha~"

Leo yawned and walked down the already familiar path to the ring where he was playing.

"Alright! It's time to get serious!"

After stepping into the ring, Leo slapped his face and beat himself away. Then, he looked at the spectator seat on the edge of the ring. There were a few people Leo knew, Mike and Aven, and Chrissy, who had a lot of space around them.

"By the way, what's wrong with Chrissy? She probably doesn't know where my match is...... Ah, is that friend again? Really, who the hell is that friend of hers?"

Three weeks ago, on the morning when Leo was about to leave the dormitory for training, Chrissy suddenly appeared in front of his dormitory, startling Leo. And after that, because Chrissy is a famous beauty in the academy. Therefore, many of the boys who saw Chrissy looking for Leo would keep an eye on Leo as soon as they saw Leo appear. That look made Leo feel a little hairy, and that's why Leo would try not to greet Chrissy in crowded places now. However, this seems to have had the opposite effect.

So, when Leo saw Chrissy here, he was surprised and a little annoyed. However, Leo's appearance in Evan was not a surprise. After all, his dormitory is not far from his own, and it's easy to know where you're playing.

"Hey, that guy, it's a game, don't focus your attention anywhere else. With so much attention, it's better to focus on the game. ”

In the ring, a man in leather armor with a thin sword hanging from his waist appeared. Apparently, he seemed to be dissatisfied with Leo's lack of concentration before playing against him, and interrupted Leo's train of thought by speaking out.

"Oh, I'm sorry. ”

Hearing the man's words, Leo reorganized his mood and returned to the state of the game.

"Leo Corsese, then. ”

After both men were ready for the match, a man in a black and white referee uniform stood between the two.

"In. ”

"Slug John. ”

"Yes. ”

"Okay, I announce...... It's game on!"

At the referee's command, Slug pulled out the thin sword at his waist and rushed straight towards Leo.

"Storm Spike"

In an instant, Slug's sword was in front of Leo. It's so fast that it's almost impossible to dodge. Moreover, in order to ensure the speed of the spur and not lose its lethality, Slug also wrapped a little cyan fighting energy around the sword body, which enhanced the lethality of the stab.

"Cyan Douqi, a swordsman of the wind system? Then I will also use the wind system. ”

"Wind Magic: Flight"

However, Leo also has his own way of dealing with this. Thrusts are point-and-point attacks in a straight line with good speed and lethality. It's just that this spike is just a thrust on the ground, and no matter how fast and lethal it is, it can't attack targets in the air. So, now a magic circle suddenly appeared at Leo's feet, and Leo flew into the air of the ring, dodging Slugg's thrust.

"Hmph, do you think I'm going to be unaware of the weakness of the Spike? Don't you try to dodge this thrust of mine!"

"Tornado Spike"

Suddenly, just after Leo dodged this stab, the fighting energy wrapped around the sword's body suddenly expanded to the four sides of the sword, expanding the range of this stab, barely affecting Leo.

"Is the scope really not enough?"

Seeing that Leo had only injured his clothes, Slug was very dissatisfied and put away the stabbing posture, and pointed the tip of his sword towards Leo, wanting to stab again.

"This guy has actually overcome the weakness of the stab! It seems that he should not be an easy opponent to deal with, and Leo is probably going to be a little troublesome now. ”

Just after the display of the thrust that overcame the weakness, the audience was a little surprised. Although most of them were students in the academy, they didn't expect the Spike to be like this. Moreover, even Mike, who has rarely praised people, rarely praises Leo's opponent. It seems that Leo's opponent should not be some kind of mediocrity.

"Wouldn't that guy, Leo, haven't taken it seriously yet? That guy's thrust is pretty good. However, if you want to win against Leo, this level is not enough. ”

However, Evan gave his opinion and seemed to believe that Leo's victory was inevitable.

"Aven, I didn't say that Leo would lose, I just said that it would give Leo a little trouble. And, looking at Leo's appearance, it is estimated that he doesn't want to use all his strength. If he doesn't have to give his all, if he wants to win, it will still be a little troublesome. ”

"Hmmm......"

Just as Mike finished speaking, the scene took a new turn, making everyone's attention turn back to the arena.

"Trap Magic Array・Wind Blade"

Just as Slug wanted to continue his thrust, he suddenly found that there were many more wind blades around him, less than a few meters away from him.

"How is that possible, when was that guy...... Damn!"

Slug couldn't figure it out, and in his opinion, Leo had only used his flying magic once. So, where did these wind blades in front of him come from? However, in reality, there was no time for him to calm down and think well, and the Wind Blade was already about to come to him.

"In that case...... I can't help it, can I only use this?"

Slug changed the way he held his sword, revealing the inlays on the hilt.

"Wind Barrier"

In an instant, these wind blades were all blocked by the spherical wind barrier released from the gem on the hilt, so that Slug inside the barrier did not receive any damage.

"Sure enough, relying on the trap magic array alone is useless. “

Seeing that the trap circle he had set up in place had no effect on Slug, Leo gave up on the idea of using the trap circle again.

"In that case, then I'll have some fun with you!"

"Flying"

A light flashed at Leo's feet, and Leo flew into the air.

"Did you fly into the air?"

Seeing Leo flying into the air, Slug didn't stop Leo.

"Storm Thorn"

However, there is a reason why Slug didn't stop Leo from flying into the air. As a Rapier swordsman, Slug was well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Rapier. Therefore, in order to overcome these shortcomings, Slug can be regarded as having worked hard. If it's just to fly into the air, Slug has a way.

Therefore, Slug's Storm Thorn is a move against some enemies who can fly in the air. Instead of relying on the use of a thin sword to directly attack the enemy, he relied on his own fighting energy wrapped around the sword to extend the range of his attack. Coupled with his own fighting attribute for the wind, the wind system is known for its speed and sharpness. However, the wind system has another advantage, that is, compared to other attributes, the consumption of the wind system is much smaller. Therefore, even if Slug made the seemingly physically demanding act of wrapping Dou Qi around the sword and using it as part of the sword to extend the blade, Slug would not consume too much physical strength and would be able to perform multiple air attacks.

"In this case, I have to show some sincerity. ”

"Arrow of the Wind"

In the face of oncoming attacks, Leo remained calm. Unhurriedly, he condensed a large number of cyan arrows and fired them in the direction of those attacks.

"How is it possible, the condensation of the elements! Is this guy a seventh-order magician?"

It didn't take long for the elemental arrows to collide with the stabbing of the fighting spirit, and several small explosions occurred, producing a cloud of smoke that obscured the situation on the field.

"Smoke? ...... this thing!"

For wind professionals, smoke is an ornament. As soon as a gust of wind is caused, what is hidden by the smoke will naturally be blown away by the wind. Therefore, Slug simply used his fighting spirit and blew all the smoke on the field away.

"This ...... No way! When is this ......!"

However, as soon as the smoke was blown away by the wind, Slug saw not an empty ring, but a dense cluster of cyan arrows pointing at him.

"Leo, that's a bully. ”

Seeing these dense arrows, Mike sighed helplessly.

"Now he can't admit defeat. ”

With such a dense arrow attack, you know that you will definitely not be able to dodge it. Moreover, he is just a swordsman of the wind system, and it is impossible to confront these arrows head-on. Not to mention, this is still an elemental arrow, which will explode after hitting the target, performing a series of indiscriminate strikes on the target.

"I ...... I throw in the towel!"

Slug knew he couldn't turn the game around. Even if you use the wind barrier on your sword, you can only resist it twice. After resisting twice, you will still lose. Therefore, it is better to admit defeat honestly.

"Slug John admits defeat, Leo Corseth wins!"

Just after Slug raised his right hand to show that he had conceded defeat. The referee, who was standing on the side of the ring, suddenly came between the two and announced Leo's victory.

"Whew~ Did you win?"

After announcing the results, Leo let the arrows dissipate into the air and slowly walked out of the ring.

"Slugg, don't think too much, you are too different from him in strength, and it is normal for you to lose to him. It seems to me that he did not use all his strength in the battle with you. ”

“…… Liar, huh?"

After Leo stepped out of the ring, the referee saw Slug, who was still there. Came to Slug's side and told him the truth. So, after learning the truth, Slug froze.

"It's up to you whether you can overcome this defeat or not. If you can overcome this failure, it is possible to go further. If you can't get over it......"

The referee looked in the direction Leo had left.

"Then that's the end of your future......"
