Chapter 6

 Eritrea wake up early she was taking care of her hair and make-up and left in hurry, Helena couldn't believe her eyes. "Is this really my sister. Deis already was in the Arena with a sword in his hand.

"You show up?" "Hmm, what do you mean I promised didn't I?" "No, you didn't you just said go home and rest and see you tomorrow with that cold scary look of yours."

"HAahaha very funny cold look ha shall we begin, choose the sword, and let's start." 

"Start but shouldn't we wait for others to arrive, I mean mentors should come today."

"I am your mentor I couldn't care less for few low-class swordsmen, now start.

Deis make a move he almost got Eritrea in the first strike but she dodged in the last moment.

"To close, how did he I couldn't even see his movement." "Don't drop your guard(he struck upper strike and Eritrea's sword went in the air) you have the good reaction time let's try one more time."

Now she started attack Deis but he was dodging attacks with ease, after two minutes he closed his eyes.

"Is he kidding me, (upper strike left s***h right s***h, but he dodged them again) but how is this possible?"

Deis smiled and again with one strike he sends her sword in the air."And you lost again, do you see the problem I don't even need to use senses or eyes because your moves are too linear and your moves are easy to predict.

With such a style of fighting, you won't even be able to lay a single strike but I must admit your attacks are fast but lack strength."

"Wow, you can't even give a compliment without offending someone." "let's start again. And he charged at Eritrea again, with fast sharp strikes it been an hour she is barely standing on her feet. 

"You sure you don't need a rest you look like you are gonna die." "I can do this all day(she felt on the ground) ok I can't I need a rest."

"Here take some water." "Thanks"

At nine o'clock students were already at the central arena waiting. Mentors walked in. two girls one with long blonde hair and blue eyes, tall with armor. The second one has short brown hair and dark green eyes she was wearing a robe. 

As for men, One had black hair and red eyes he was handsome with a cold lock in his eyes. and the fourth mentor was short with dark green hair and brown eyes, and he started talking.

Greetings to you My name is Adrian Bell, this is Yamato,  (Yamato: hello to everyone ) and these lovely ladies are Aria and Alice. 

"Hello to everyone" "As you can guess you will be divided into three groups with five people and one of us will be training exactly one group." 

"Ela, Marcos, Bony, and Sebastian you will be in team A, and your mentor will be Alice., you can go with them now Alice" 

They entered Arena 1 

"Now let's continue  Mina, Halo, Emilia, Riyana, and Selina will be with Yamato."

"Nell Sam, Kai, Al, and Julieta will be with Aria, and the rest of you will be in my group."

They all entered a smaller stadium for each group. 

Meanwhile, Deis and Eritrea were in the middle of a battle she couldn't move well because Deis used spells to create a strong gravity field around them so she was very slow. 

"This is impossible, how you expect me to fight in such condition?" "In a battle, you never know what kind of trap or strategy your enemy will use so you must be prepared Lihid stone golems go kill her."

Golems rushed into her she was struggling normally she would be able to slay them easily but with Tripple weight, this just seems impossible. 

One golem hit her and she hit the wall. "Stop, stand up Eritrea. "I can't this is too difficult for me."

"I said get up, a true warrior never stays dawn." She used her sword to get up she was bleeding and barely standing even breathing was hard at this moment.  

 "Very well healtho (her wound was healed and even her stamina was restored), rest for ten minutes then continue. "

"Easy for you to say" While other groups practiced basic level skills Eritrea was fighting to live. 

 Four hours have passed other groups were leaving the arena they so stadium five was still closed 

 Adrian: They are still training, Yamato: I am sure they will exit any moment. Adrian: So what do you think about your candidates. Yamato they are not bad there is hope. Alice: Same for mine. 

"How about yours Aria do they seem promising. "Well, they aren't bad."

They left Nine hours later Aria: I can't believe I forgot my badge, hm whats this Arena five they are still training." The door open and Eritrea and Deis showed up "You should go and rest" "Aha I think I am gonna sleep forever." "Gate" A portal open "Thank you see you tomorrow."

"Hello, you there" "O hello I didn't saw you." "Hay I am Aria" "Deis pleasure to meet you." She could feel the energy coming from the arena.

"Wow you do take training seriously I can feel the magical energy inside, gravity training right."

"Correct, there is no such thing as too easy, if you are not prepared you will die on the battlefield  that's a fact." "You sound just like our master, no surprise you defeated him. what say you would you like sparing match with me?" 

"Tempting but another time." Deis was heading for the exit. "Ohh common I am his student too as all your friends I too want to defeat him, or you are afraid that your victory was luck."

   Deis stopped  he laughed "Using my ego smart ok fine let's do it but if you die it won't be my fault."

They entered the arena Aria was ready to attack but Deis didn't draw his sword. "What are you doing you won't draw your sword?" 

"I will give you three minutes if you manage to lay a single strike on me you win."

"And if I don't  lose right." "Not by rules after three minutes I will draw a sword which is the same thing."

"So confident let's see how good actually are you?" She charged at him one strike after another(left swing right left right upper slash.) But nothing she couldn't even scratch him. 

"ELestar" (bright light shined the stadium) she used that archive surprising attack but she should now better Deis was standing on the top of her sword.

"How did you?" " I told you you must be prepared for everything and your intention was obvious, one minute left." 

"You" She tried even harder using unique magic skills, but nothing Deis avoided all her attacks with ease. 

"There minutes have passed you lose." The same moment he draws his sword hers broked in two "It's not over firestorm." "Using the magic of that caliber is useless." Her spell just vanished and Deis grabbed her and put a sword beneath her neck.

"It's over you lost." "Wow you are something else, how did you negate my spell?" "I cast an antimagic barrier around the arena." "You manage to cast it in a second." "Good night Aria, Gate" And he vanished.

"Not just sword skill but to use magic on such level who are you Deis Evona?"
