Chapter 193 Hope that a healer reattaches your Arm!
“You shouldn’t have looked at my Elara with those eyes, fuck face.”
Vaan spoke with a wide grin on his face as he slowly walked towards Alex, who was kneeling on one knee.
He had been avoiding all the Fire Spikes Vaan shot at him, however, Vaan’s Fire Spikes were all boosted by [Burst] Inner Circle Spell, it had an area damage the moment they collided with the target.
So even when Alex managed to dodge all the hits, he was still affected by the explosion, and the proof of that was the burnt mark on his right calf and left feet.
His rest of his condition wasn’t normal either, even if he was a swordsman with a body that had surpassed normal human limits, he had been defending against Fire Spikes aimed at him for the past 5 minutes, pushing his body to extreme, he was exhausted and it was getting harder and harder for him to catch his breath.
But even then, he did not admit defeat.
Rather, he was glaring at Vaan, his eyes full of fiery rage and frustration.
He was careless.
He was facing a Vesta, he should have come prepared.
Amidst of these regrets, Vaan finally appeared near him,
“Closing the distance against a Swordsman… you are quite bold…” Alex spoke, he completely ignored Vaan’s threat.
After all, he was in his ‘range’.
“Trust me, you sword is not faster than my Spell.”
Vaan was confident.
“Why don-“
Alex wanted to reply but then suddenly, Vaan did something that surprised not only Alex, but the entire audience, even the Vestas sitting there.
He took out a sword that almost everyone had ignored till now.
“Are you ready for round two?”
Vaan questioned with a provocative smile on his face.
“W-What is he doing…?”
Finley questioned, this time, his question wasn’t directed at any Professors in particular, he just wanted an answer.
A Mage had taken out a sword against a Swordsman!
Just how…
“…”
“…”
Both Professors however, had no way to answer Finley’s questions, they were here to do live commentary on the battle to make it more entertaining and educational for the students of the Academy, but this…
This was something even they had never seen in their life.
How were they supposed to tell what was happening!?
“What is he doing!?”
Vaelen was angry.
“He already won! Why has he not ended the battle yet!?”
Lirael had the same expression on her face.
Elric, however, had a slight smile on his face. A smile no one else could notice.
He was actually worried that Vaan might actually win, if that happened, it would strengthen Vaan’s position in the Battle of Heirs, however, because of his arrogance,
‘Heh, you bastard, I am glad that you are born with that arrogance.’
Elric laughed inwardly.
“You arrogant bastard!”
This time, Alex was completely enraged.
Without worrying about the injury on his leg, he jumped at Vaan, wanting to end the battle in one go, however,
*Clank*
Vaan easily blocked his attack with his own sword.
“Be careful, fuck face.
I didn’t choose a sword because I wanted to give you an advantage.
I just wanted to beat you up.”
As he said those words, Vaan’s three Magic Circles shined and,
*BOOOM*
“AAaaaaAAagGGGgHhhhHHH!!”
Another Fire Spike was shot, this time, Alex took a direct hit.
“ALEX!!”
His friends from the Swords Division shouted in worry, they wanted to rush forward and end this battle, however, sensing a presence sitting above them, they paused.
*Thud*
*Clank*
Alex’s body that took the direct impact went flying, his sword falling under Vaan’s feet.
Vaan rubbed the sword onto the floor using his feet,
“A Swordsman losing his sword in the middle of the battle, how shameful.”
He laughed out loud.
Then, he glanced at the judge, waiting for him to announce the results.
However, seeing that the judge still didn’t move, Vaan frowned. He glanced at Alex who was slowly standing up, at the last moment, Alex had used Aura to strengthen his Arms, so even though he had taken the full burst of the Fire Spike Spell, his arms were still in the condition to move, his skin, however, was burnt marred.
“Heeh? Are you trying to make this more exciting,
I welcome that.”
Vaan spoke with a grin, completely demeaning the efforts of his opponent.
He rushed towards Alex and swung his sword, Alex crouched and rolled on the ground, he groaned in pain when his burned skin rubbed against the ground, Vaan, however, didn’t give him time to care about it and continued to unleash sword attacks one after another.
Alex could barely dodge, he was faster and stronger than Vaan, however, he had no way to use his superiority in the battle, with how Vaan was swinging his sword, aiming at the widest part of his body, even a slight misjudgment from his side would be enough for Vaan to land a hit.
Before he could get his hands back on the sword, dodging was the only option he had.
“Hey hey, fuck face, why don’t you just leave the Swords Division, if you are this desperate against a Mage in Sword Battle, then you are simply wasting yours and Professors’ efforts, you know?
What family were you from again?
The Sunblades? I guess there is a reason why I haven’t heard that name before.
Back in Vesta Family, they don’t make us remember the names of the insufferable ones.”
“You bastard! You used Magic to hurt me!”
Alex shouted in desperation, trying to avoid Vaan’s attacks and intentionally leading him to a certain direction.
“Ouuwaaa, a Mage use Magic in a Battle, its cheating~”
Vaan imitated a crying child, scoffing at Alex’s remark.
This was the first time he was actually using a sword against an opponent, if it were normal mages he fought in the Vesta Family, the battle would have ended since none of the mages were physically strong enough to last this long against him,
A swordsman, however, was different.
He could bully them to his heart’s content without having to worry about anything.
“His Swordsmanship…”
Suddenly, Professor Alistair’s expression changed.
“W-What?” Finley, who was already losing his mind, turned towards the Professor. The Professor however, completely ignored him and observed at the way Vaan was swinging his sword, the more he watched, the wider his mouth got.
“Orion Ravenshadow…”
Two words finally escaped his mouth.
“What?”
Finley was taken aback when he heard those words,
“That Swordsmanship… although his moves are inexperienced… t-that’s Orion Ravenshadow’s Sword Technique…”
“Y-You mean L-Lord Orion!?”
“That is correct, the Black Card Holder, Orion Ravenshadow. That’s his technique, I have no doubt about it!”
The Professor shouted, his hands trembling as he finally recalled the Swordsmanship Technique that once ruled over the Agresia Academy.
Not only him, all other students watching the match widened their eyes in horror when they heard Professor Alistair’s words.
“P-Professor, are you sure you are not mistaken?” Finley still found it hard to believe.
After all, Orion was a legend who suddenly disappeared from the world.
“Orion Ravenshadow is Vaan’s father.
It is not impossible that he taught Vaan his swordsmanship.”
Suddenly, Professor Isadora spoke up.
“B-But Vaan is clearly a Mage, how can a Mage learn Swordsmanship!? A being cannot possess both Mana and Aura at the same time!”
Finley was quick to retort.
Mana and Aura were two completely different energies that refused to mix together, many humans tried to mix them up, however, the moment these two energies combined in a Human’s body, they exploded and crippled the said human.
There has never once been a Magic Swordsman in the history of Agresia.
“He is not using Aura…”
Professor Alistair spoke with a solemn look on his face.
“Then it shouldn’t be possible for him to keep up with Alex, but from what I am seeing, not only is he keeping up, he is overpowering Alex! How is that possible when he doesn’t even possess Aura!?”
The three commentators glanced at how Vaan continued to swing his sword, putting Alex in the defensive side, exposing his injuries even further, sometimes, even managing to land a hit and leave a cut on his arm, waist, or shoulder.
“He is taking advantage of the fact that Alex is injured, if this was a normal one-on-one duel, Alex would have one. Not to mention Alex doesn’t have his sword with him.”
“Well, he will have one soon.”
Professor Isadora commented and as she did, Alex, who had crouched to dodge Vaan’s sword suddenly rolled back and picked up his sword.
“This is the end, you bastard!!”
He shouted as he rushed towards Vaan.
*Clank*
Their swords clashed, this time, however, Alex had put all his strength in his arms, he even used Aura to strengthen his attack,
Vaan’s expression changed as his sword was pushed back and he instantly lost his balance, Alex, on the other hand, aimed at Vaan’s arm, and with his eyes burning with endless rage, he shouted,
“Hope that a healer reattaches your Arm!”
