Book 2: Chapter 11
First Battle
The day of our match with the Year 7 students finally arrived.
We are in the academys arena.
Leaffa, the first one in the lineup, was all shook up on stage.
No wonder.
In a battle that featured one-on-one matches, she defeated all five members of the opposing team with a single attackand they were seventh-graders, to boot.
So why did this happen?
Lets go back in time to just before the match started. As per the agreement, we were entangled with the seventh-year students.
Why do these freshmen possess a classroom at the First Wall?
Ah, most probably its just because of your parents connections, so before you experience heartache, obediently back off.
Hey, isnt this one pretty cute? Ill play with you, no need to surrender.
Hehe, yeah, right, lets have some fun.
They continued to run their mouths.
I peeked at their magical powers using my magic, but all of them have less mana than I expected.
Among our class, Luna has the least amount of magical powers, but even if you combine these guys magic, it will only amount to half of Lunas.
To be honest, I dont feel well lose.
So, I ignored them and strode towards the arenas waiting room. They probably thought were running away, and their laughter echoed behind us.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
Nobody was bothered about them. We already know that not one of those seventh-years is stronger than Tinas stone statues that we were completely beating up until yesterday.
You look pretty complacent, said Ryuushin.
Yeap, I was worried when I heard wed be up against seniors, but after fighting Teacher Tinas statues, I cant find a reason why well lose against that bunch, Merdie replied.
But we cant be too careless. No matter what, theyre still seventh-year seniors, and they probably have special magic.
Yes. Its just like what Halt said. We shouldnt be negligent. Alright, I will defeat the first one!
Okay, go for it, Leaffa.
The light-hearted way I talked with Leaffa is quite nostalgic.
The battle commenced, and Leaffa got up the stage.
Oh, lucky! So youre the first one. Ill cherish you, so regards!
The opponent grinned lecherously at Leaffa.
The referee signaled the start of the competition.
Leaffa immediately created her magical bow, but the other guy just stood there doing nothing.
Shoot. Ill let you know how useless that would be.
He was really looking down on Leaffa by giving her a head start. Gathering enough mana takes up a lot of time, all while guarding against the opponents attacks, but that arrogant senior just stood there idling the time away.
Leaffa, on the other hand, managed to accumulate an enormous amount of magic in her arrow.
Wait, what!? Whats up with that magic!?
The concentrated magical power at the tip of Leaffas arrow is already visible to ordinary students aside from me, and the air around started to tremble.
The other party finally noticed and started rushing. In order to stop the activation of Leaffas magic, the student raised his arm and formed an [Earth Spear] made from Earth Magic, and he released it toward her.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Wind Arrow!
Leaffa lifted her finger. The bowstring was released, and the wind arrow flew in a high-speed projectile toward Leaffas challenger.
Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!
The arrow dispelled the earth magic, and keeping its speed, it blew off the Year 7 student.
In order to prevent the arrow from killing the person, Leaffa modified its tip into a blunt one that doesnt have a high piercing capacity, but it blasts its target away at the moment of contact.
Leaffas attack did not disperse after blowing up her rival.
A semi-transparent magic defense wall was set up around the arena to protect the spectators. However, the wall also burst, and the remaining four students were also blown away.
The five people struck the wall and remained unconscious, but their arms and legs were jerking. Obviously, they didnt die.
Dead silence enveloped the whole stadium.
Many curious students and instructors came to watch the seventh-year seniors match against the rumored first-year students who had a classroom at the First Wall. Everyone was dumbfounded with how the events unfoldedthe magical wall was destroyed. Moreover, five people were blown away by the magical attack.
Leaffa did try to accumulate a bit more magic, but she never expected that she would pierce the defense barrier. Thus, she stood there, flustered.
When my students were fighting with the stone statues, I put up defensive barriers with all I had. You cant expect the magic wall put up by those instructors around there to stop my students attacks.
Tina suddenly spoke proudly from somewhere.
U, Unacceptable!! Attacking from outside the stadium, thats foul play!!
A 50-year-old-looking professor with thinning hair rushed toward Tina. It was the class adviser of the loser bunch.
Yes, it is foul play if the attack was from outside the arena, but not the other way around. First off, we did not consider personal magic would be able to break the barrier.
The instructor-referee also came to stop the balding professor.
More importantly, what do you plan to do now? If all the members cannot fight, then Tinas class wins.
The fallen students were carried out on stretchers. It may take time until they recover with healing magic.
Sir Umpire, the students who fell were just cheering in that place! They are not in our lineup!
Eh, but if Im not mistaken
The referee confirmed the master list of team members.
All of the guys who were brought out a while ago are included in the list. However
Edgar, come!
Edgar, a student with a well-built body, approached sleepily to the teacher with the receding hairline.
Whats up? I thought I wouldnt have a turn?
Change of plans. Use all you have to beat them up.
Eh, wait, Edgar isnt
My class is fine. Let us continue.
Tina expressed her desire to resume despite the referees attempt to stop the match.
Hahaha, I dont know what youre misunderstanding, but you better be prepared.
After spitting out those words, Baldy took Edgar and strode back toward their teams position.
Leaffa, it will not be suitable for you to fight Edgar. So, could you please abstain from the next round?
Yes, Maam.
Leaffa listened obediently to Tina. She seemed to reflect on her going overboard.
Leaffa, thank you for doing your best, your magical attack was splendid.
T, Thank you very much!
Leaffa was over the moon from being praised by the legendary Hero among their race.
The next one up is Ryuushin, please.
Alrighty! Is it okay for me to give it my all?
Of course. Give your best shot so you can also blow up that Thin-Haired Professor while youre at it.
I havent seen Tina this extreme toward others before. Maybe, shes really infuriated with Sir Baldy.
Ryuushin went up the arena stage. Edgar went up lazily as well.
The remaining four students of their class began to chant spells, and Edgars whole body was shrouded in various Auras.
They seemed to be using Auxiliary Magic to strengthen Edgar from outside the arena. Upon closer inspection, I can also see magic overflowing from the professor, albeit inconspicuously to those around him.
Is that okay?
Attacks from the outside are forbidden, but apparently, support is okay.
Hmmm But the involvement of a teacher is definitely a taboo, right?
Halt-sama, good work noticing. Of course, we cannot just let this be.
Will you stop the match?
No, well do the same. Luna.
Ye, yes!
Please use your auxiliary magic to support Ryuushin, and remember to pour all you have in doing so.
I understand!
Alright, Ill go ahead and say it.
We wonby a landslide.
Ryuushin, who received Lunas full supportive magic, transformed his arm into a dragon and placed his full magical force on it. Edgar was thrown with great force, smashing the rehabilitated magic wall in the process. Furthermore, the four students and Teacher Baldy, who were standing behind Edgar, were also blown away.
Needless to say, those who were driven away did not get up afterward and were taken to the medical office.
Thus, our class won our first battle ever, and we successfully defended our classroom.
