A while ago.

  “Noa, don’t you need to learn about this anymore? You already know how to Forge Magic?,” I asked.

  “What do you mean, Rid? I’ve never learned about this,” Noa said.

  “Earlier when you threw your wind spear, after hitting the intended place, the spear immediately emitted a wind explosion to the surrounding area. Didn’t you add explosion magic to your spear? Isn’t that the same as Forging Magic?,” I asked.

  “No, I didn’t add any magic to the spear. I just poured wind magic into the spear, that’s all. I’ve been practicing that technique since long ago and yes there is always an explosion effect,” Noa said.

  “Is that true?,” I said.

  “I’m serious, Rid,” Noa said.

  “Noa seems right, he’s not lying. But why did the spear he threw have an explosion effect? ??Is it possible that he didn’t realize he was using Forging Magic?,” I thought.

  Back to the Arena.

  A cloud of smoke caused by the explosion of the spear thrown by Noa surrounded the arena where they were competing.

  "Did Noa win?," Charles asked.

  "With such a fast attack and a fairly large explosion impact, Alfred should have fallen," Chloe said.

  "No, this match is not over yet," I said.

  When the smoke that had covered the arena began to clear, it was clear what had happened. Wind Ballista a spear fired by Noa, was blocked by a shield created by Alfred.

  "Hah, Hah, that spear almost hit me. If I didn't use this Wind Shield, I would have been hit by that attack and lost," Alfred said.

  "......," Noa fell silent.

  "So he still had time to react to create a shield to block Noa's spear, he's not bad," Charles said.

  Noa then took back her spear that was blocked by Alfred's shield.

  Come back

  Noa's spear returned to Noa's hand by itself with the help of his wind magic.

  “It seems like you’re on top because you think you won with that attack, but you’re not the only one who can throw a spear like that,” Alfred said.

  Fire Magic, Apply Magic Weapon, Fire Spear

  Power Boost

  Magic Boost

  “Take this, commoner Fire Spear: Puncture,” Alfred said as he prepared to throw his spear.

  The Fire Spear was thrown towards Noa. The fire spear that had been strengthened with additional power and magic moved very quickly to hit Noa. Noa reacted quickly by holding his spear with both hands.

  Wind Spear Noa poured his wind magic into the spear again.

  Magic Boost

  Defense Boost

  Noa strengthened his magic and defense. After that, the spear shot quickly towards Noa but Noa blocked it with his spear. A clash between the wind spear that Noa used to defend and the fire spear that Alfred used to attack occurred. Noa was still trying to block the first spear attack, but over time he was pushed back.

  "Uggghhhhh this spear attack is very strong, it seems impossible for me to block it," thought Noa.

  Noa was pushed back even more until he finally hit the arena wall behind him along with Alfred's spear. The impact was strong enough to make the arena full of dust and smoke from Noa's impact.

  ”That attack just now was pretty strong, is Noa okay?,” Charles asked.

  ”Don’t worry, Charles. Noa used Defense Boost earlier, the damage he received shouldn’t be too severe,” I said

  ”Noa,” Chloe said.

  ”Hahahahaha that’s how to throw a spear properly. Of course this is also because of my noble lineage, my magic power is superior to a commoner like you so my spear throw is stronger than yours. If you want to throw your spear with difficulty again, go ahead, my shield will withstand it. Or do you want to just give up? Hahahaha,” laughed Alfred.

  ”Hahahaha very good Alfred, at least you’ve embarrassed the person who tried to hit me earlier. There’s 1 more person who embarrassed me earlier, I’ll get back at him,” said Javier who was watching and looking at me.

  ”.....,” I noticed his gaze but I just kept quiet.

  In the arena that was still filled with smoke, suddenly from where Noa hit the wall a spear imbued with wind magic was quickly launched towards Alfred. The spear shot out so fast that it eliminated the smoke that had gathered in the battle arena. Alfred immediately reacted by blocking the spear with his Wind Shield. The wind spear was blocked and collided with Alfred's Wind Shield.

  "You're still trying to throw this spear? Even though I can block it? Are you stupid, huh? It seems like you've given up on winning," said Alfred.

  "You might be able to block 1 Wind Ballista, but what about 2 Wind Ballista?," said Noa.

  "What did you say?," said Alfred.

  Noa held another spear and began to flow it with wind magic.

  Wind Magic, Apply Magic Weapon, Wind Spear.

  "That spear!?," said Alfred.

  “Isn’t that Alfred’s spear? How can Noa channel his magic into Alfred’s weapon?” Charles asked.

  “Haven’t you ever been told about weapon ownership, Charles?” I asked.

  “I was told that someone else’s weapon can’t be imbued with magic by someone other than the owner,” Charles said.

  Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

  “Well you’re right, but that only applies to contracted weapons,” I said.

  “Contracted weapons?” Charles asked.

  “If you buy or make a weapon from a weaponsmith, once the weapon is ready. You will be asked to make a contract with the weapon as proof of your ownership. A weapon that has a contract with its owner cannot be imbued with magic from someone other than the owner, even for magic weapons, people who are not the user cannot use the magic weapon’s skills at all. But for the weapons given to us for this exam, they are not contracted weapons so other people can use weapons that are not theirs as freely as they like,” I explained.

  "So that's how it is, it's no wonder Noa can use and imbue Alfred's spear with magic. But is a weapon that has been contracted with its owner definitely safe and cannot be used by other people?," asked Charles.

  "No, a weapon that has been contracted can be canceled with magic or re-contracted with someone else who has that skill," I said.

  "Even though the weapon has been contracted, it's still not safe if you meet a dangerous person, you know a lot about this, Rid?," asked Charles.

  "Yes, that's because I like reading books, so I know about this," I said.

  "Is that so," said Charles.

  "You b*st*rd, how could you use my spear?," asked Alfred in annoyance.

  "That's because you're so stupid, how could you not take back your spear after attacking your opponent? This is how it is, now your opponent is the one who took this spear," said Noa.

  "F*ck," said Alfred angrily.

  ”Rather than getting angry all the time, shouldn’t you focus on your shield, even though you managed to block it, the Wind Ballista still hasn’t stopped. And now I’ll add another one,” Noa said.

  Noa prepared himself with his stance as if he was about to throw a spear.

  Wind Ballista

  Noa threw the wind spear quickly towards Alfred.

  ”D*mn it, how could I lose to a commoner,” Alfred said.

  Defense Boost 2x

  Alfred increased the resistance of his wind shield 2x. The second Wind Ballista hit Alfred’s shield. The clash between the 2 Wind Ballista and Alfred’s Wind Shield was very strong. The two Wind Ballista tried to break through the wind shield but were still blocked by Alfred. Despite being blocked by the Wind Shield, the Wind Ballista still didn't stop and kept moving trying to break through

  "You see? Even if you throw 2, 3 or more of your spears, my shield will block them," said Alfred.

  "Is that so?," said Noa.

  ~Accelerate"

  Noa moved quickly towards Alfred and went behind him.

  "That was fast," thought Alfred.

  "What are you going to do?," said Alfred.

  “You’re having so much trouble holding it that you have to use both hands to hold the shield. You may be covered up in front, but the other side is wide open,” Noa said.

  “Don’t tell me?,” Alfred said in surprise.

  “Of course I’m going for this, did you think I’d just attack you with a spear?,” Noa said.

  Noa prepared to attack by preparing his stance.

  ~Wind Magic Martial Arts~

  Noa coated his hands and feet with wind magic.

  ”Magic Martial Arts? I didn’t think Noa could use that technique,” ??Charles said.

  ”I just found out that Noa could use it too,” I said.

  Magic Martial Arts, a martial art combined with magic. The damage is certainly different from ordinary martial arts because in addition to providing physical attacks, Magic Martial Arts also provides magical attacks. For example, Magic Martial Arts that uses fire magic, if you use a punch coated with fire on your opponent, in addition to the opponent receiving damage from the physical blow, the part that was hit will also feel burned by the fire that coated fist.

  Noa prepared to attack Alfred.

  ”D*mn, do you intend to attack me from behind while I’m busy holding this? You coward!,” Alfred said.

  "I'm sorry, but I've had enough of what you've been saying. So I'll shut you up. Besides, there's no prohibition against attacking from behind, especially since this is a battlefield, so you shouldn't have the right to protest," said Noa

  Wind Punch

  Noa punched Alfred's face from behind.

  "Kuggghhh," Alfred was in pain after being punched in the face.

  "This isn't over yet," said Noa.

  Noa continued to punch and kick Alfred's body from behind.

  "Ugghhh, Uggggh, Keookkkk," Alfred received the attack from Noa.

  Because Alfred was continuously attacked with Noa's Magic Martial Arts, the concentration of mana used to create the Wind Shield was disturbed. The Wind Shield began to crack due to the clash with the 2 Wind Ballistas until finally Alfred's Wind Shield was destroyed.

  "D*mn it," said Alfred who realized that his Wind Shield was destroyed.

  ".....!!!," Noa was also surprised.

  The 2 Wind Ballistas that had previously been held back shot towards the two of them.

  There was a fairly large explosion from the 2 Wind Ballistas that hit the arena's footing, causing smoke to reappear. But someone came out of the cloud of smoke, and it was Alfred.

  "Hah, Hah, I almost got hit by that spear directly, luckily I was still able to avoid it,"

  "Ugghhh, d*mn commoners, hitting and kicking me since earlier,"

  "But there's no way he'll survive after being hit by his own spear," said Alfred.

  Accelerate

  Suddenly Noa moved quickly from the cloud of smoke and immediately kicked Alfred right in his stomach.

  "Keoghhhh," Alfred was in pain after his stomach was kicked.

  "Did you think I had just fallen? The one who will fall in this fight is you,” said Noa.

  Noa continued his punches and kicks at Alfred. Noa hit and kicked Alfred in various parts of his body. Alfred could only surrender to being attacked in succession by Noa.

  ”25,”

  ”35,”

  ”45,”

  Noa counted the total attacks he launched at Alfred.

  ”Ugggh, ugggh, keoggkkh, ugghhhh,” groaned Alfred who was attacked all out by Noa.

  Wind Punch to the stomach, Wind Kick to the legs, Circular Wind Kick to the waist. Alfred was helpless with the consecutive attacks he received. Noa immediately launched the final attack by preparing with his stance.

  Wind Uppercut,” said Noa.

  A punch from below that aimed at Alfred’s chin. Alfred was thrown upwards after being hit by the attack and began to fall down.

  Accelerate

  But Noa moved quickly towards where Alfred would fall and prepared to continue his attack.

  Power Boost

  Magic Boost

  Noa increased his power and magic. Noa prepared his stance to attack Alfred. When Alfred started to fall, Noa launched a very strong punch right at Alfred's stomach.

  "This is my last consecutive attack, the 50th attack," said Noa.

  Wind Champion

  "Kuoggghhhhhhh,"

  The punch was so strong that it threw Alfred away. Alfred was thrown until he hit the arena wall.

  *Dummmmmmmm, the sound of the impact was heard throughout the arena.

  "Just so you know, actually since earlier I could have used other elemental magic to fight you. But I prefer to use this wind magic, I have my own reasons for doing that, well I don't know if you can hear it or not," said Noa.

  Dust smoke began to fill the arena as a result of Alfred hitting the arena wall.

  “What the hell is this match,”

  “This match is so crazy, it seems like this is the best match so far,”

  “Did the noble lose?,” said the other participants who were watching.

  Slowly the smoke began to clear and the arena began to be seen clearly again. Alfred’s figure who had crashed into the wall was also visible. After being slammed into the arena wall, Alfred collapsed and did not move anymore.

  “The winner for the match test between Noa Sigisbert and Alfred Tarski is… Noa Sigisbert,” said the supervisor Nora.

  “Amazing,”

  ”You were great,”

  ”Your match was very good,”

  ”You were great to be able to defeat a noble even though you are a commoner,” said the participants who were watching. The other participants applauded Noa.

  ”D*mn Alfred, how could he lose to a commoner. Annoying,” said Javier.

  ”For participant Alfred Tarski because he lost, he will get 50 points. For participant Noa Sigisbert, the supervisor will count the number of points obtained by participant Noa Sigisbert so please wait for the results in the arena for a moment. For the supervisor who is in charge of being a healer, please bring and heal participant Alfred Tarski first.” said supervisor Nora.

  The supervisor who was in charge of being a healer went down to the arena and brought Alfred to be healed.

  "You are great Noa,” said Charles.

  "Good job Noa," said Enzo.

  Noa looked at us, I gave his a thumbs up gesture. Noa replied with a thumbs up gesture and smiled. I realized that there was one person who didn't cheer for Noa among us.

  "Why didn't you shout and congratulate Noa, Chloe?" I said.

  "Eh ah I don't really like shouting. You yourself didn't shout either," said Chloe.

  "I already gave Noa a thumbs up gesture earlier," I said while imitating the thumbs up gesture again.

  "I also gave Noa a gesture earlier," said Chloe.

  "Is that so," I said.

  "But Noa is really great, besides being good at using a spear, he is also good at martial arts," said Charles.

  "You're right, how strong will Noa be when he becomes a student at the academy," I said.

  "You're right, Rid. I also won't lose to Noa because I have a big responsibility," said Charles.

  “I won’t lose to anyone either, big brother,” Chloe said.

  “Being a Prince and Princess is hard, huh,” I said.

  “Well, that’s how it is,” Charles & Chloe said.
