16 – Aren vs Aaron 2

“You’re behind.”

Coastal Mana Tide

As soon as Aren finished speaking, he began to swing his sword into the air.

“What is that bastard doing?”

When Aren suddenly swung his sword, Aaron was also wary, but the distance between the two was considerable.

However, Aren swung, stabbed, and swung his unreachable sword into the air as if drawing a picture.

Aaron frowned when he saw Aren like that.

‘I don’t know what crazy it is…’

As if Aaron was about to end it, the moment he moved to Aren, a change occurred in the gymnasium.

wheee

‘What, what!?’

Suddenly, the wind began to blow in the gymnasium, and they began to gather around Aren, to be precise, Aren’s sword.

At the same time, Aren’s sword changed.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa

“Come!!!?”

Aaron was shocked and could not take his eyes off Aren’s sword.

Of course, Aaron wasn’t the only one surprised.

“what!!!?”

“U-Oh!?”

Tristan as well as Jake stood up and glared at Aren’s aura.

“Jake, do you know what it is!?”

“……”

Jake was looking at Aren with his mouth wide open.

‘I’m using atmospheric mana!’

The skill of drawing and using atmospheric mana was the exclusive property of magicians with 6 circles or higher, and even those with talent.

When Aren, the prosecutor, used such a technique, Jake was in a fresh shock.

‘… this is not the time!’

Jake quickly came to his senses and shouted toward the gymnasium.

“Magic professor, what are you doing! Use barrier magic!!!”

As Jake’s shout spread throughout the gymnasium, the magic professors scattered everywhere began to set barriers in the gymnasium.

At the same time, Aren swung the sword he was holding high.

“die.”

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!!!

‘Lord, die!’

The Aura Blade, like a typhoon, was flying towards Aaron at high speed.

‘I can’t avoid it, then!’

Aaron immediately used the family secret.

Valentine’s Day Prominence Blast

Aaron’s sword began to burn red like magma.

It was still an unfinished technology, but now Aaron had only this technology.

Aaron swung his sword at the aura without hesitation.

aaa!!!

“Oh ahhhhh !!!”

It is like a hurricane pushing out the sun.

Aaron exerted all his strength to extract mana, but his body was being pushed out like crazy.

‘Huh, I have to spill it!’

Aaron gripped his sword tightly and forcibly swung his motionless arm.

“Go away!”

Aaron swung his sword as if throwing himself and threw Orer into the barrier.

aaa!!!!!!!!!!

“Quaaah!”

“Wow! f*ck!”

“damage!”

The audience started to riot in the aftermath of the aura hitting the barrier, but Aaron couldn’t afford to pay attention to that.

“Gagging, heh, heh, heh, f*ck.”

“I believed you could do it.”

Aren’s voice came to Aaron, who knelt down and breathed frantically.

‘sh*t!’

But Aaron’s reaction was also great.

As soon as he heard Aren’s first words, he turned and swung his sword in the direction of the voice.

Huung

‘This, this!?’

coastal mirage

The moment he cut the air, Aaron felt a strange sense of deja vu, but it was too late to notice.

Chow ah

“Keah!”

At the moment Aaron had a chance, Aren swung his sword without missing a gap.

‘Avoid this?’

Originally, Aren intended to finish it with this blow, but Aaron avoided the fatal blow with only his momentary reflexes.

And then immediately counterattacked.

Kang! Kang! Kang! Cheak

“Keugh!”

This time, Aren was cut by Aaron’s sword.

‘I won!’

Aaron was convinced that he had won with this attack, and ran to finish.

‘It’s full of gaps! I…’

At that moment, Aren’s sword moves.

Shoreline Beam Piercing

Fu-wook

“Quaaagh!”

Aaron screamed and felt doubt at the same time.

‘what!?’

Apparently, Aren was leaning as if he was falling backwards after being struck by Aaron’s sword.

As Aaron ran for the gap, Aren’s sword pierced Aaron’s shoulder.

It was a movement as if the body was being dragged by the right hand, ignoring the basics of swordsmanship as well as the laws of inertia.

“What the hell are you doing bastard!!!”

Kaaang!

Aren said with swords crossed.

“I told you, you’re behind.”

“X feet!”

Kang! Caang! Kang! Kaaang!

Aren and Aaron swung their swords frantically at each other.

Both of them could not make a mana sword as if they had run out of mana, but they swung the sword with the remaining mana to increase their physical abilities.

Caang! Caang! Kaaang! Kang!

Pure swordsmanship versus swordsmanship collided, sparks flew from the swords, and the two moved brilliantly.

“You move well with that shoulder.”

“Heh heh heh heck shut up!”

Aaron’s left shoulder was immobilized by Aren’s stab.

Even so, Aaron was fighting Aren on an equal footing.

‘A genius is a genius.’

Aren blew the remaining mana into his sword and swung it wide as if he wanted to end it.

Quaang! Whirly Rick

Eventually, Aaron’s hand gave out and the sword flew away.

‘I won…’

“I’m afraid I’ll lose!”

perok

“Keugh.”

The moment he thought Aren had won, Aaron rushed in, pounded, and punched like crazy.

f*ck! f*ck! f*ck!

“You bastard!”

baek!

“Keah!”

Aren, who had been pressed and punched by Aaron, threw away his sword, grabbed Aaron’s collar with both hands, dragged him, and smashed him in the head.

Aren rose from his seat and breathed life.

“Yeah f*ck, I’m confident in punching too.”

“Come on and this is a cub !!!”

The two ran to each other and stretched their fists at each other without backing down.

f*ck! f*ck! f*ck! f*ck!

“die!”

“You’re dead, you’re the head of this red pepper paste!”

“What bullsh*t you bastard!”

baek! baek! f*ck! f*ck!

An unsatisfactory referee stepped in.

“stop!”

“…!?”

“…!?”

“This match is a draw!”

After listening to the referee for a while, the two shouted at the same time.

“What bullsh*t!”

“What bullsh*t!”

The two people’s swear words echoed in the gymnasium.

“Ahahahahaha!”

Frey was laughing maniacally as Aren and Aaron were being dragged out of the arena.

But the people around her couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Nonsense…’

‘……’

‘… It’s not at the student level.’

In turn, it was Luke, Ron, and Anna’s inner thoughts.

In particular, Ron stared blankly at the sword statue left in the gymnasium as if he couldn’t believe it even after seeing it himself.

“…… ha ha ha.”

Tia was also quite surprised, and only a dry smile came out of her mouth.

Then I heard Frey’s bright voice.

“Ah~ It’s interesting, but does this make the bet invalid?”

“……”

“……”

The shock was so great that everyone chewed on the princess’s words.

Regardless, Frey looked back at Cecilia and Carol.

Only the two were expressing completely different emotions.

‘I was very excited.’

Fighting spirit was burning in Cecilia and Carol’s eyes.

In particular, Carol was shaking her fists as she glared at the two people in the gymnasium.

‘I want to fight too!’

Carol had a special talent for swords since she was a child.

There was no opponent for Carol among her peers, and she started training against knights from the age of 13.

Because of that, Carol wanted a rival of her age more than anyone else.

An opponent that Carol could collide with with all her might.

‘There were two of them!’

Carol’s face was stained with joy.

“ha…”

Aren was now lying in the medical clinic on the academy grounds.

“It’s been a week…”

Aren was seriously injured in a duel with Aaron yesterday.

The problem is that the hospitalization period is set at one week.

“No, I’m almost healed.”

After receiving treatment yesterday, Aren closed the wound using Haean’s Ability Interference.

Wounds are also a flow.

Of course, it didn’t stick together completely, but when I drank the potion given by the medical center, it created a great synergistic effect, and now I’m close to being completely cured.

“What are you going to do for a week or so?”

Aren looked around the room for a while.

I’m not going to lie, there was nothing.

There was not a single book for the common pastime.

The academy medical center seemed to be unfriendly to patients.

“No matter how much I like to be quiet, this isn’t it.”

Aren quietly got up, opened the window, and looked around.

‘There’s no one here’

Aren made sure no one was around and jumped out the window without hesitation.

“… The 4th floor is high after all…”

Aren forcibly loosened his numb feet and moved on, wary of his surroundings.

“First of all, I’ll go to the concession stand and watch the tournament.”

Aren immediately set his destination and headed for the canteen.

‘what?’

I am walking comfortably away from the medical center to some extent, but strangely, the eyes of the students focus on Aren.

“…? Oh, a patient’s uniform?”

Aren muttered as if it was nothing, and then moved on again.

A huge store that arrived shortly after.

Surprisingly, the canteen in Bolridge was giving away free food to students.

Aren was surprised by this at first, but was soon convinced when he remembered Borridge’s ignorant school fees.

Aren immediately entered the store and headed for the snack section.

“What do you want to be embarrassed about?”

Aren ran into an unexpected person while choosing the sweets on display with a happy expression.

“hmm?”

“uh?”

“……”

“……”

I met Tia Cloud at the snack corner.

Aren, who looked at Tia for a while, turned his gaze back and started choosing snacks.

Surprisingly, Tia spoke to Aren.

“… well, over there.”

“… why?”

“…no, hello?”

“……”

“……”

‘What’s wrong with him?’

Aren couldn’t believe his eyes.

It was because there was no reason for her to speak first when thinking about the relationship between Tia and Aren.

When Aren didn’t answer her words, Tia couldn’t overcome the awkward air and spoke again.

“I saw the match yesterday. It was great.”

“… uh.”

“Are you okay?”

“uh.”

Aren gave a short answer, then grabbed some snacks and headed for the exit.

Because being with Tia was awkward.

Surprisingly, Tia started following Aren towards the exit.

“Are you going to watch the game? I’m going to watch the game after the game today. Do you want to go with me?”

“Why are you here?”

“uh?”

“Why are you pretending to be friendly?”

“Ah… I’m sorry that was unpleasant.”

“No, I’m asking why.”

“…I just want to talk…”

“Do you think there must be a reason for that?”

“… can I talk to you for a second?”

“……”

After a moment of hesitation, Aren nodded.

“Can we talk while watching the tournament?”

“Yeah, that’s comfortable for me too. But are you going to wear that?”

“huh.”

“……”

The two walked side by side and headed to the nearest gymnasium.

“They’re competing.”

Tia looked at the gathered students and said.

“But they don’t seem to be having much fun because they don’t know them.”

“No, Aren, you should keep an eye on those two. They’re pretty strong.”

After that, Tia began to teach Aren one by one the students who were competing.

After listening to the explanation for a while, Aren said.

“What are you talking about?”

“… First of all, I’ll apologize once more for the last time. I’m really sorry.”

“I’ve already received your apology, so don’t worry about it.”

“I’m sorry though. Back then, I thought it was too harsh.”

Aren stared blankly at Tia’s face for a moment and nodded.

“You seem really remorseful. I won’t care about that time anymore, so you can stop apologizing.”

“…yes, thank you.”

Aren paused for a moment and then asked again.

“So what do you want to say?”

“Umm… back then… I overheard you talking about me through that wiretap.”

“ah.”

“That’s… why did you say that about me?”

“Didn’t you gossip behind your back?”

“That’s not… that…”

Tia suddenly blushed and spoke in a whisper.

“You… the highest in me…”

“Ah, then.”

“Yes! Then!”

When he reacted as if he remembered Aren, Tia immediately cut off his words and welcomed him.

“I was cold to you back then, but I was curious why you said that.”

“… If you’ve heard the conversation at that time, you must have heard about my eyes, too?”

“Ah… that’s it.”

“It’s okay. It’s already in the past.”

Aren shrugged and said.

“My eyes are a bit special, so I can see many things.”

“Several?”

“Yes, I can tell by looking at your eyes how much effort you put in.”

“Is that possible?”

“Otherwise, I can’t speak well of a woman who kicked me.”

“… Mr. Woo.”

“Poop.”

“Why are you laughing.”

“It’s just. Kkeuk.”

Tia’s reaction made Aren feel more at ease.

There was nothing to talk about now, but the two started talking naturally while watching the tournament.

For the most part, Tia explained and Aren listened, but considering their previous relationship, it was a huge step forward.
