Chapter 89 - Yujin vs Yuriko
Yujin slowly raised his sword while observing his opponent’s movements. He knew that this fight wasn’t going to be that easy. But he didn’t have to defeat his opponent this time. He just needed to stall her for a few minutes. If that’s all he had to do then it’s not a problem to him.
He narrowed his eyes as a fierce aura burst out of his body. His sword was clad in blueish energy called mana.
Yuriko also pulled out the sword that was hanging on her waist. She looked at him and said, "You have a good form. There are really a lot of interesting people in this class. First, is that Souta, then that noisy Bryan. And lastly you... Are you going to show me a combat style that doesn’t suit your class?"
"Yeah, those two are insanely strong but why would you include me in them?" Yujin asked.
"Why you say?" Yuriko placed a finger on her lower lips. "It’s because your not a typical mage like the rest of your class. You can see it in the upper classes that the one who holds the power is the one who fought differently from their class."
"I understand that. Then, what about you?" Yujin asked. He knew what he was doing he’s trying to stall time by talking to Yuriko.
"You will know it once we exchange swords." Yuriko smiled widely at him. "Do you think that I didn’t know what you’re trying to do here?"
Yujin smiled wryly at this. To think that Yuriko noticed what he’s trying to do. Then, there’s no other choice but to stop her through force. He gripped his sword tightly and prepared himself.
"Here I come. Try to stop me as much as you can." Yuriko said before she dashed towards Yujin.
Swoosh!!
[Burning Blade]!
[Power Boost]!
[Speed Limit]!
Yujin quickly casted his buff spell on himself. [Power Boost] increased his overall strength and [Speed Limit] increased his speed and flexibility.
Flames emerged and it coated his sword. This was the [Burning Blade] spell. It was another buff spell that will add burning damage to his basic attack.
Yuriko arrived in front of him. She smirked as she swung her sword.
Yujin raised his sword and blocked her swing.
Clang!!
"What a good spell you have there." Yuriko smiled at him. She used her mana and poured it in her sword.
Yujin frowned and he pushed his sword.
Shiing!!
He then slashed it at her.
Clang!!
Clang!!
Clang!!
The two exchanged swords and every time their sword collided sparks flew out.
Clang!!
Clang!!
Clang!!
They continued to swing their swords for a whole minute and Yujin felt that every second Yuriko was pushing him. He knew that he was at a disadvantage when it comes to pure sword skill.
Small cuts started to appear on his body as he couldn’t block all of her attacks. He was now focusing on blocking all of her attacks without having a chance to fight back.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
"Haha, how is it?" Yuriko laughed while slashing her sword at the same time.
Swoosh!!
Yujin ignored her attack as her sword cut his chest. He gritted his teeth and used this chance to forcefully swing his sword.
"What?!" Yuriko was surprised at this. To think that Yujin would use this tactic on her. But she was different.
She quickly took a distance away from him and avoided his slash.
Yujin held the wound on his chest and he pointed his sword at Yuriko. His mana flared up as he casted a spell.
[Fire Arrow]!!
An arrow made of fire formed at the tip of his sword. It flew towards Yuriko at high speed.
Swoosh!!
Yuriko shifted her body and avoided the [Fire Arrow]. She then widened her eyes as she quickly turned her head behind her.
"What?!" She saw the arrow turned around and it flew towards her once again.
She jumped and found that the [Fire Arrow] was chasing her. "Hmm... A homing spell, huh?"
"Eat this!" Yujin casted another spell.
[Lightning Arrow]!!
[Wind Arrow]!!
[Ice Arrow]!!
All of these spells were the same as the [Fire Arrow]. All of them were a homing spell.
Yuriko swiftly moved her body as she dodges every arrow that comes after her.
"I will stop these annoying arrows." She gripped her sword and it emitted a blueish light. She turned around and faced the arrows.
[One Slash One Kill]!!
She slashed towards the arrows and a blue energy wave flew out of her sword and it crashed the arrows. The blue energy wave instantly disintegrated the arrows the moment it collided.
The blue energy wave didn’t stop and it flew straight to Yujin.
Yujin reacted quickly by jumping at the side to avoid the blue energy wave.
Swoosh!!
Yujin frowned when he saw a deep gully on the ground which was caused by Yuriko’s combat arts. The destructiveness of her combat arts wasn’t what he expected.
Yuriko’s purple eyes were focused on Yujin. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "I’m getting serious this time, so be prepared."
...
Lumilia and the rest were fighting the three comrades of Yuriko when the students from Mage Class 1-C appeared at their campsite.
Lumilia divided her classmates into two groups. One was going to stop the three comrades of Yuriko while the others were going to fight the students from the Mage Class 1-C.
The situation was getting worse every second now that another group appeared that was after their red flag.
Luckily, the Mage Class 1-C didn’t have any top rankers in their class. Lumilia sent out five people to hold the people from Mage Class 1-C.
Lumilia casted the [Water Bomb] spell and it caused a huge explosion. She then turned her head and saw that Yujin will not be able to hold any longer.
She was the one who was commanding the class and she didn’t have time to focus on one battle.
Currently, Alice was fighting one of Yuriko’s comrades in one on one fight. Alice was in rank 60 and her opponent was in rank 47.
Alice was holding her orange grade spear while facing a petite woman with a long sword.
The petite woman was Rindo and she was the top 47 ranker in the whole first year. She was a small woman with shoulder-length pink hair. Her pair of pink eyes match the color of her hair and the fur in her hands and feet. Two sharp fangs could be seen in her mouth. She was clearly a halfling with these features of her.
"A rank 60 ranker is going to stop me alone?" Rindo asked while looking at Alice.
Alice didn’t reply to her. She just gripped her spear tightly and charged towards Rindo.
Swoosh!!
Alice arrived in front of her and she raised her spear.
[Triple Stab]!!
She used her combat skill immediately as soon as she got close to her opponent.
Swoosh!!
Swoosh!!
Swoosh!!
Rindo moved her petite body and she dodges the attacks that Alice used. She then lifted up her long sword and slashed it.
Clang!
Alice moved her spear and blocked the sword. She then raised her foot and launched a kick.
[Blade Shock]!!
Alice stopped her foot and she quickly took a distance away from Rindo. She saw everything that was five meters close to Rindo was slashed in half including the ground.
’I will fight her as a mage this time.’ Alice thought and she waved her hand.
[Freeze]!!
The ground beneath Alice quickly turned into ice. It spread quickly until was in front of Rindo.
Rindo jumped in the air and shot a sword waved to destroy the ice on the ground.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
But before she landed on the floor she saw ice spikes burst out of the ground.
[Ice Spike]!!
Rindo placed back her sword in its sheath. She then grabbed the handle of her sword.
When the spikes were about to pierce her body, she executed another of her combat arts.
[Drawing Style: Whirlwind Slash]!
Dozen of sharp wind flew out of her sword and it destroyed the ice spikes that Alice casted.
Bang!!
The sharp winds flew straight towards Alice.
Swoosh!!
Alice frowned and she once again waved her hand.
[Cold Wind]!!
A cold and powerful wind swept out in the whole area. It clashed the sharp winds that Rindo threw.
Boom!!
Lumilia saw that Alice could handle the top 47 ranker on her own. She was glad at this as she didn’t need to worry about her and send her classmates to help her. It would reduce their forces if she sent out more of her classmates to fight.
Also, she didn’t have any force to send. If that’s really the case, then she would be forced to fight instead of commanding her classmates.
She controlled her mana and casted a spell.
[Water Serpent]!!
She was supporting the battle of her classmates with her magic. That’s all she could do now. Then, she turned her head and saw that Yujin couldn’t handle Yuriko anymore.
"The other students are stronger than I imagined. I miscalculated." Lumilia muttered and she decided to focus her strength in helping Yujin fight Yuriko.
She hoped that Alice and the rest could defeat their opponents soon even without her help.
Suddenly, a voice sounded...
"It seems that our class is in trouble. Do you want me to help you Yujin? But... If you only use that then you would be able to fight longer and defeat her. You’re just like me hiding his strength when it’s unnecessary."
