Gacha Sovereign

112 Student vs Teacher

"Teacher!" Alex was surprised, His teacher said normally, the student will only fight with rank 6 or rank 7 teachers. But this time, his opponent is…

"Hoho, I'm your opponent today. I wanted to see how much you grow up to this day. Though, I feel my choice to be your opponent is correct since you are even stronger than yesterday" The dean smiled at him.

"But, Teacher, You said that the opponent…"

"I said 'normally'. How can I consider you as normal"

"Ugh" He didn't know how to take his words. Should he accept it as praise or…

"Anyway, I will be your opponent. Be sure you not pulling your punch, since I won't" The dean said.

Alex took a long breath and nodded "Please guide me"

The dean nodded, he looked at the referee, "Please Start"

The referee nodded to him After he checked Alex who already pulled his sword and spear. Alex used his usual rank 8 spear and rank 5 sword. He didn't use the new SR sword that he got from the system since it might be an overkill "Student Alexander Sirius, special graduation. Start"

The dean let out his mana. The mana of rank 8 magician was really numerous. Everyone in the arena especially the students filled with dread against this amount of mana. Alex also let out his mana from his body. Surprisingly the amount of mana he let out was the same with the dean.

"You…" The dean was surprised. Not only him, Every high ranking people in the audience was also shocked by this. By the amount of mana alone, they can conclude, Alex was at the same level as the dean.

Alex smiled at him.

"Heh…Let's begin" The dean smiled too. "Flame Sprites, Hear my words and rise"

There are a few flame pillars that rose from the grounds. The flame pillars charged toward Alex like a snake bouncing on the ground.

"Teacher, are you sure you are going to use Fire to fight me?"

"Heh, you think I don't know about that"

Alex smirked. "Fire Arrow"

Alex made Fire Arrows with the same number as the dean's flame pillars. Alex's fire was different this time. After condensing the Fire Phoenix Seed, Though it wasn't on the level of absolute flame, it was still at a very high level. But, the elemental suppression he had was gone.

Alex's Fire Arrows clashed with the dean's Flame Pillars.

"Boom!"

The clashed produced smoke covering the arena. The crowds were anticipating, which one won that clash just now?

"Sky Movement. Flash Step. Plus Boost Step"

After a moment, the smoke finally cleared away. Alex disappeared from their vision. Leaving the dean alone in the arena.

"Did our prince just lost?"

"Well, it was to be expected, our dean is a rank 8 magician"

All those rumblings were from the students. For those who have a higher power, they realized. Alex moves at a very high speed.

The moment he appeared. He was behind the dean.

"Luminous Spear Technique. Pierce"

After this long time after he got the Luminous Spear Technique, he finally able to use this move. Alex spear started glowing. When the light white covered the spear. Alex thrust his spear. The light immediately flew like a laser beam.

The dean barely realized Alex appeared behind him. He dodges to the side, albeit barely. The light missed the dean and crashed to the arena's wall and leaving a hole in that wall.

"You brat, Are you going to kill your teacher?" The dean smirked.

"Teacher said I didn't need to hold back right?" Alex also smirked.

"You don't say"

Alex immediately follows up with a round kick to the dean head.

"Don't underestimate me, you brat." The dean raised his staff to block this kick.

"I never underestimate you, Teacher" Alex smiled, "Sky Movement. Immovable Step"

With the Immovable Step, though he can't move except that kick, it boosts his kick power greatly. It blew the dean away. After he blew him away, He disappeared again. The dean immediately regained his bearing and searched Alex's position. He looked up.

Alex appeared and sent another dropkick at him. The dean also raised his staff again to block that attack.

"Heh, if you think you can catch me off guard with this, you must be joking"

"Of course not" Alex smiled. "Sky Movement. Heavy Step"

The dean noticed something off. He channels his mana to boost his arms strength. When he received Alex's dropkick. It pushed him to the ground and leaving a crater. "Heavy!"

"Nice Kick. But, Flame Sprites, Rise!"

A spark of flame that soon becomes a giant flame tornado appeared on the ground and its target is Alex. Noticing that flame spark, Alex used the dean's staff as his stepping stone. He jumped up and dodge the dean's magic.

"Now, you are in the air. You can't dodge this one even if you can fly" The dean used another magic. "Flame Sprites, rise and pierce my enemy"

A few firebirds rose from the ground and flew toward Alex. They circling around Alex at a high speed making him can't escape. "Take that"

"Boom"

"No!" The crowds were worried when Alex got hit by that magic. But unfortunately, he didn't get hit by that. In that instant, He didn't fly as a rank 7 or above does. Instead,

"Sky Movement. Sky Step"

He used his Sky Step which allows him to step on the air like those on the ground. With that, he got a good maneuver which allowed him to escape from that magic.

He used another Sky Step and jumped toward the dean. He swung his sword.

The dean was surprised when he saw Alex's movement, he never saw Alex practice so this move startled him. But since he is also an experienced old man, he was sure Alex holds some kind of trump card like that. He parried the sword with his staff. Alex immediately thrust his spear at him. The dean dodged this completely. This showing them that even though he was a rank 8 magician. That didn't mean, he wasn't good at close combat battle.

They continue to clash. In a minute, they clashed for around fifty rounds. The dean shows him an unexpected close combat battle. Alex tried to overpower him with close combat. But there is no gap to exploit.

"Hehe, do you think I will lose to you in close combat? Do you think you can overpower me in close combat? Don't underestimate me, you need a few more years to do that"

Alex smirked, "Then, I will take this seriously"

"Sky Step. Fleeting Step"

"What?"

Alex suddenly changed his style. This time, he confused him with an unpredictable footwork. With this new style, the dean gets suppressed little by little.

"What?"

"Our dean?"

"He can only in defensive against a student?"

"Student? He is not a normal student, he is his student"

The ones who got startled the most wasn't the students, but the teachers. They knew exactly how strong the dean. After all, he was only second to the principal. But because he has an elemental advantage from the principal who has a wood element. It can be said they were equal. But the student, and a second-year to boost. Suppressing the dean little by little.

The king and the duke were also shocked by Alex's performances. They looked at Alicia and Firia.

"mmm? Alex still holding back" Alicia said. Firia also nodded, backing up Alicia's claim

"Still holding back?"

Alicia nodded, "I'm sure, not only Alex but Uncle Marco too."

"What? I haven't seen my father fighting seriously before as a rank 8 too. But I, a rank 7 magic warrior can't hold a few minutes if they fight like that and you said they still holding back?" Grand duke desperately said. The king also nodded, He also hasn't seen his-no, their father fighting as a rank 8. "That means Alex is a rank 8?"

"I don't really know. But I know, he is a rank 7 or above" Alicia then looked at Firia who shakes her head

"…" The grand duke and the king were speechless.

"But look, even though they are fighting, they seem to have fun."

The king and The duke looked at each other and nodded. "Indeed"

…

The dean retreats a few steps back. "Flame Sprites, Trap my enemy. Fire Net"

Suddenly a giant net appeared and went on its way toward Alex. Alex frowned a little. He raised his sword. His sword started glowing again. He swung it down.

"Sanguin Sword Art. Seventh Slash"

A powerful sword wave flew toward the net. When the sword wave met the net. It tried to cut down the net. But the net wasn't cut by the sword wave, instead, it expanded itself and received the sword wave. The sword wave still flying and trying to cut it down. The clash took a few seconds before the sword wave finally succeed in cutting down the net. But after it cut the net, the sword wave disappeared. It seems to have no more power to continue flying forward. The net fully exhausts the sword wave power.

"Haha, I haven't fought like this in a while. It seems taking the position as the dean of this academy rust my skill a little. Now, I have grabbed it back. Let us fight more seriously, I'm sure you still not fully use your power right"

All the people present were shocked, they almost spat out blood. 'Still holding back? Screw you. You two fight like that but still not serious?' was the thought of all the people present.

"Teacher…" Alex made a weird smile. "As expected of you, Teacher. Do you want to bully your student so much? You are an experienced rank 8 magician, close to rank 9. But I'm only a student and a junior"

"Ptui. You are a student? A junior? You need to lose badly to me first if you are going to claim something like that. Well, no enemy will think you as a junior. I'm sure you already experienced that too"

Alex smiled a bit, but there is a trace of sadness in that smile. He recalled something. He looked at the dean with a meaningful look. "Please"

The real battle was about to start. They disappeared at the same time.
