*BOOM

  A thud was heard as Charles hit the wall. As a result of the impact, Charles' sword broke and shattered, s?o did my sword. I saw my sword slowly cracking until it finally shattered completely. The students watching the match seemed still shocked and speechless. Meanwhile, Charles' condition was still unknown because the place where he hit the wall was still filled with smoke.

  After a while, the smoke slowly cleared and revealed Charles' condition who could no longer move. Seeing that, supervisor Elgin began to announce the results.

  "Daily match between Rid Archie and Charles Estella San Fulgen, the winner is Rid Archie," said supervisor Elgin.

  The students who were initially still shocked, slowly began to clap and cheer for my victory.

  "Congratulations, Rid,"

  "That was an amazing match,"

  "Congratulations for winning the match against Prince, ?Rid," said the students who cheered me on.

  On the other hand, there were also students discussing what happened in the match.

  "The previous clash of power was really powerful, wasn't it?,"

  "That's right. If the clash lasted long, who knows what would have happened to this building and also us,"

  "The clash also destroyed both of their swords," said the students.

  There were also those who commented on the results of the match.

  "So the winner is Rid, huh? Did many people already guess this result?,"

  "With this result, it is increasingly confirmed that Rid is ranked first in our class.

  "In addition, Rid doesn't seem to have used all of his strength. Since the entrance exam until now, he hasn't been seen using magic in the match,"

  "But the prince also fought very well, right? Even though he didn't manage to injure Rid, the prince's attacks made Rid have a little trouble. Even the last clash of attacks destroyed Rid's sword. Well, even though the prince's sword was also destroyed,"

  "Well, the point is that they are both on a different level than us. We can't possibly beat them both in the match," said the students.

  Meanwhile, there were also those who were not happy with my victory.

  "The commoners will get even bigger heads with this victory,"

  "They all also cheered the commoners,"

  "Yes, it's natural for commoners to cheer each other,"

  "This is just the beginning, who knows how long this situation will last," said the students.

  -

  Meanwhile at Princess Irene's place.

  "So it's as expected that Rid managed to win against Prince Charles. But what was that attack used at the end, 'Roaring Dragon Slash'? Why was that technique called that?," said Leandra.

  "Lea doesn't know huh?," said Lily.

  "Know about what, Lily?," said Leandra.

  "Well, this is just a rumor and we don't know the truth yet. But according to the rumor, the roar of a dragon is very powerful and can destroy anything around it, including waves, even the biggest waves. Since Prince Charles used a wave attack, Rid needed an attack to destroy the wave. Maybe the attack that Rid launched had the same destructive properties as a dragon's roar, so that's why the technique was called 'Roaring Dragon Slash'," Lily said.

  The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

  "I see, I just found out about that," Leandra said.

  "In my hometown, rumors like this have often spread. Because our race is a race that likes to compete and fight, we respect the giant race and the dragon race that are above us who also like to fight. So it's no wonder that rumors about giants and dragons are often heard in the Demi-Human territory," Lily said.

  "Oh is that so, where did Rid hear that rumor from?," Leandra asked.

  "Hmmm I don't know, maybe another Demi-Human told him. Besides, this rumor is not confidential and like I said earlier, it's just a rumor," Lily said.

  Meanwhile, Princess Irene seemed to have been silent since earlier. Leandra who realized that decided to ask Princess Irene.

  "Miss Irene, why are you just staying silent? I thought you would also join in discussing the match earlier," said Leandra.

  ".....Well, Rid Archie's victory over the prince was as I thought. And there were many new techniques that he used when fighting the Prince earlier. But....." said Princess Irene.

  "But what, Miss?," asked Leandra.

  "You two, did you both see earlier when Rid Archie moved on the water made from the Prince's attack?," asked Princess Irene.

  "Yes, I saw. Even though he was in an arena filled with water, Rid could move like usual. Normally you wouldn't be able to move as agilely as Rid if there was water surrounding your feet," said Leandra.

  "That's right. Even I'm not sure I would be able to move as agilely as Rid if I was in a condition like that. Even though his feet were submerged in water," said Lily.

  "So that's how it is, you both saw that Rid Archie's feet were submerged in water," said Princess Irene.

  "Yes, miss. What's wrong?," asked Leandra.

  "No, nothing," said Princess Irene.

  "Then was it just a hallucination or my imagination. Because from what I saw, the reason Rid Archie could move freely in the arena filled with water was... because he stepped on the water," thought Princess Irene.

  -

  "So Rid won huh, well I'm not surprised by this. Besides he's very strong," said Noa.

  "Yes, you're right," said Chloe.

  Chloe seemed worried about something.

  "Are you worried about your brother's condition, Chloe?," asked Noa.

  "Yes, but I can't just enter the arena to approach my brother," said Chloe.

  "Don't worry, Rid will definitely help Charles," said Noa.

  "You're right," said Chloe.

  While Chloe and Noa were chatting, Enzo seemed to want to say goodbye to them to leave.

  "Sorry Chloe, Noa and Kotaro, I have to go because I have an appointment with someone. I promised to meet then after watching my friend's match," said Enzo.

  "Oh is that so, then please Enzo," said Noa.

  "Yes, Enzo," said Chloe.

  Kotaro just nodded.

  "Okay, then I'll excuse myself," said Enzo.

  Enzo then left the arena.

  "Enzo hasn't been with us lately and always has business. And now he's gone with someone. Is it possible that he already has a girlfriend?," asked Noa.

  "I don't know, just let him if he ?have a girlfriend," said Chloe.

  -

  Meanwhile, in the audience arena near the stairs.

  "Previously he could 'kill' fire attacks, and now he can 'kill' water attacks. How many elemental attacks can he 'kill'? Rid Archie, he really is an extraordinary student," said Mr. Alan.

  "After I told Miss Karina that there was a match between Rid and Charles, she immediately ordered me to watch the match and record it. It seems like Miss Karina has met Rid in person and because of that she immediately ordered me to reduce my supervision of Rid. But she still ordered me to report something interesting related to Rid, one of which is this match. Since the match is over, I have to hand over this recording to Miss Karina," said Mr. Alan.

  "By the way, where did the leader of Elevrad go?" said Mr. Alan.

  -

  I approached Charles who was lying down after hitting the wall.

  "I'm sorry, Charles. It seems like my technique was excessive," I said.

  "Hahaha.... it doesn't matter. In fact, I'm.... happy if you use a lot of techniques when fighting me. That's a sign.... you don't underestimate me," said Charles who was still conscious but exhausted and out of breath.

  "I didn't expect you to still be conscious, Charles. Your physique must be very strong. Here, let me help you get up," I said.

  Then I helped Charles get up.

  "Thank you, Rid," said Charles.

  After that I intended to heal Charles using my magic.

  - Camouflage Healing -

  Charles who felt his body had recovered was surprised.

  "Wait Rid, this magic is...," said Charles.

  "It's healing magic but not ordinary healing magic. Your wounds have been healed but the scars from your wounds have not disappeared. So those who are watching don't know that I have actually healed you. So I hope you want to keep pretending to be weak and injured from the match so that those who are watching don't know that I have healing magic," I said.

  "Hahahaha, okay. I thank you for healing me Rid," said Charles.

  "Yes, besides this is also my apology for making you like that," I said.

  Then I continued to help Charles walk to leave the arena.

  When I did that, suddenly there was a sound of applause. The sound of applause was very close as if it was behind me.

  *clap *clap *clap *clap

  Then we both looked back. Behind us, right in the middle of the arena, stood a man wearing glasses.

  "Since when was he there?," I thought.

  "What an amazing match, I didn't expect a match between first years to be this amazing," the man said while clapping his hands.

  "Who is that person?," I said.

  "You are...," said Charles who seemed to recognize the person.

  "Ah, sorry for my sudden appearance. I even forgot to introduce myself. Let me introduce myself, my name is Vyn Laterza. I am the chairman of Elevrad San Fulgen Akademiya," said the man.
