Chapter 293: Chapter 293 – The Exam’s Finale [ Part 1 ]

Margaret walked away without a pause in her step nor did she even glanced at me once.

It was a cool entrance and exit scenario.

‘Man… she’s not exactly as bad as I thought her to be… at least not to me.’

Looking at the empty tunnel once more, I stop thinking about her when I hear Falbic calling out my name outside.

“Let’s end this show.” The chained doors lift up and I walk out as people’s cheers spread all around the arena.

“There’s our final fighter, the one who will fight with the unbroken fighter at this critical stage.” Falbic said and looked at my dress, “And he even changed his style up a bit… kind of.”

Falbic saw my light black armor on my chest and legs that seemed a bit charred. As my weapon I only had my big long-sword.

“Still, it’s better than the clothes he wore before. That means he actually sees Alvin as a threat, can you believe it!”

The guys loud tone buzzed my ear. To the crowd it was entertaining, but to us standing right beside him, it was just loud chatter.

But I don’t interrupt the guy. This was the final fight, at least I should have him advertise my popularity.

“Why are you wearing so little?” Alvin asked me. He was wearing his usual anti-manic armor and had his Thunder Lord Lance with him.

“Little?” I look down at my armor and then at him, “It’s not little at all, in fact it’s too much if I say so.”

“What?” He’s bored face finally showed an expression, confusion.

“Yeah, you did see me fight the other fights right?” I say as he stood still, “I wasn’t wearing any armor on any fights, but this one is special… it’s you Alvin that’s why I’m wearing so much.”

Alvin confused looked turned to boredom again but there was slight frustration there.

“You will regret your arrogance later when you lose.”

“Or you will regret seeing your opponents as mere subjects of time will cause your defeat.” I say back to him.

Seeing the friction between us, Falbic smiled, “Store some of that enthusiasm for the fight ahead, guys.”

“Then why don’t you just shut up and start it already.” I said and Alvin also looked at Falbic with approval.

A tick went off in Falbic’s mind but he kept it inside, “Is that so… then sorry for intruding like that… You don’t have to wait anymore, start your fight in 3…2…1… GO!”

He said and his figure vanished from arena. But something happened next that shocked everyone.

“Haagh!” Alvin screamed as his figure went for me. In his hand was his Thunder Lord Lance that stabbed for me.

I smile and block his lance with my long-sword as a shield, ‘Impatient or angry.’

“Bang!”

“Crack!”

“Cring!”

Even with his lances great sharpness, it couldn’t penetrate my sword even with the extra strength Alvin applied. Then his lance suddenly cracked with lightning before he tried shock me.

Alvin’s brow raised as nothing happened.

“What happened, where’s that super cool lightning of yours?”

“Hmph!” Alvin’s brow straightened and his face darkened as he input more power into the spear. Though it didn’t change the outcome at all except for the extra power destroying the ground around us.

My sword wasn’t just super strong but it also worked as a great insulator. It didn’t matter how much electricity was being thrown at it, this black block of rock would not let anything pass through it.

It was as sturdy as it looked and that meant a lot.

I swing aside his lance and used my left to punch his stomach.

Alvin’s danger signal rang wildly as he used his ring to call a few air burst and throw me away. But instead of me moving away by the air, the air found an immovable object and blew away Alvin as an alternative.

That shocked Alvin even more as he found someone who wasn’t affected by his close air burst. Thought he also felt relieved by the fact that he raised distance between us.

“Do you finally feel it, Alvin?” My words brought his attention over. “The feeling of extreme pain coming towards you, one that you aren’t sure you can survive.”

“And then it hit… not the pain but relief.” I smile hysterically, “The relief of finally being away from the monster that was about to destroy you.”

He didn’t say anything and stood blankly facing me.

“Cat got your tongue… or is that fear I smell?” I say as he’s immediately becomes angry, “A feeling so distant that you never thought of having.”

‘This guy is crazy.’ Alvin thought as he looked at Henry, ‘Speaking like he knows everything and can see through me easily. All of it is false… complete false.’

He thought like that but he clenched his fists tighter, ‘Then why do I feel this… hole in me. Why is his words hurting me so deeply?’

Alvin then felt anger and resentment, ‘Does that mean he’s telling the truth… that I am actually feeling fear?’

‘Even so…’ Alvin looked up, his eyes clear again, “You may be right about me being scared. That leap away was not my intention but it definitely made me feel relief.”

‘I will change this and turn it into motivation.’

“But I will show you that fear won’t cloud my strength or stop me from defeating you.”

“Then show me,” I challenge him like he challenged me yesterday.

I directed the pointy end of my sword at him. “That you really have the decency to challenge me in front of everyone.”

I challenge didn’t bring fear in him. If anything, it made him even bolder and resolute.

Alvin stabbed his lance to the ground. He looked at his hand and saw the ring as he questioned. ‘Will it be able to handle it again?’

Then he shook his head, ‘Even if it does, I only need to do it once to defeat him.’

“Hmm?” I look around me as I feel the sudden shift in the air.

The air became heavy and everything seemed to shift towards a chaotic feeling.

‘This?’ I look with my eyes and see a lot of mana erupting from Alvin’s body and spreading out. The mana spread not only to the arena but it even went above and darkened the clouds.

I looked at Alvin and thought, ‘That’s a lot of mana he’s spending… just what kind of spell is he thinking of using that requires so much mana?’

As I was curiously looking at him, suddenly a memory of a large scale air spell came to my mind and my face turns to surprise.

‘Is he thinking of using that spell… is he crazy?’

‘Can he even do it?’

‘But with the amount of mana he’s spending…’

And as I thought, wind begins to flow freely in huge order. The sky had darkened so much, it seemed a big storm would be coming.

Suddenly from the ground up, wind begin to form up in a circular motion before it quickly build up towards the sky. The air moved in huge speed and it seemed to rip apart anything that it could pull.

Falbic seeing that felt he’s eyes almost pop out, “I- Is that… a tornado?”
