Invitation
1672 Words
The school bell has rung to indicate the end of lessons.
I got up from my seat, walked towards the door.
"Ehh ... A-aray!" A woman with her friends kept me.
"Can we talk? I saw your fight earlier, and I thought it was really cool." She said shyly.
"Don't you already know my name?"
"But you don't know me yet ..."
I looked away. "That's not necessary," I said do not care, left him.
"You snob! You think you're attractive?" She shouted.
"i***t ..." I muttered irritably.
I don't care about them, because they will only disturb peaceful days later.
When I walked into the hallway, someone called me.
"Aray!" Alvarado called out to me while running towards me.
"Don't follow me!"
"Come on ... Aren't we friends?"
"I don't remember ever being friends with you."
"But I remember!" He said it with a smile. Uh ... I could be traumatized.
What a stubborn person.
"I don't need friends and I don't want to be friends with you."
"You ... At least look into my eyes when I'm talking."
I walked quickly leaving him, but he still followed me.
When I arrived at the school gate, I met Alicia. "Aray!" She shouted, waving her hand.
I walked over to her.
"Oh ... You don't usually walk with someone? Is he your friend?" asked Alicia while glancing at Alvarado who was standing behind me.
"No. He's not my friend. He's just–" before I finished, Alvarado interrupted,
"Nice to meet you. My name is Ryan Alvarado, Aray's classmate." He explained as he stretched out his hand.
"I'm Alicia Kenzie, her little sister. Nice to meet you too."
"So you are his sister, huh? Indeed similar ... But you seem to have a different character, I mean it."
"Yes ... Like that. By the way, may I know what your abilities are? Sorry, I was born with a lot of curiosity."
Great curiosity? Very ridiculous. If that was the case, she should have known how rotten the world was so that it wouldn't be so easy to make acquaintances with someone.
"It's fine. I'm capable of controlling and manipulating the element of fire, but I'm not very good yet ...." Alvarado chuckled, rubbing the back of his head.
"Oh, yes? That means we are the same. I'm also a fire controller!"
I could see Alicia pretending to be shocked, covering her mouth with her hands.
So fake. Even though she knows that fire control humans are the most in this world. Very mainstream.
But it doesn't mean that they are all on the same level. What makes it different is precise power and control.
"But as I said, I couldn't control it properly. That's why I was placed in the Anfänger class. But I wonder if your brother has such strength, shouldn't he be in the stryke class, maybe even unver? You saw the fight right?" Alvarado asked, raising his eyebrows.
It is true. Since every match in the school will be broadcast live, Alicia should have seen it.
I wonder if she did see it. If so, it's a shame I have to do something to her.
"Hm ... I don't know. Isn't my brother that strong? All I know, he can't even fight." Alicia explained.
I fell silent, averted my eyes from the two of them.
Alvarado looked at me as if he didn't understand. How could Alicia, who has lived with me for a long time, don't know my true power.
I saw a straight white-haired man with blue eyes walking towards me with several people next to him, walking side by side...
"Yo, new kid!" He greeted me.
I stared at him flatly.
"Hey, hey ... Don't be like that. I just wanted to say hi to my junior. You're Aray Kenzie, right? Am I wrong?"
"Nah, you're right," I answered lazily.
"I saw the battle earlier, how great your ability is!"
Did he saw it? In that enormous windstorm?
"Don't be so surprised. You might trick the others, but you can't trick my eyes." He said, pointing at his own eyes.
"I don't care. Then what's your business?" I tried to speed up the conversation.
"Before, let me introduce myself. My name is Devdan Bayanaka, I am the Student Council President here."
I meant... I know who you are, but I understand now.
"Then?" I asked.
"Since it seems like you will be so useful for the student council, will you join us?"
"I refuse," I answered quickly.
"Dammit! How dare you refuse Devdan's invitation!" shouted the boy who looked like a delinquent even though he covered his eyes with fake glasses to make him look like a model.
Maybe he's one of his underlings?
"What do you mean? Didn't you offer? It means I have the right to join or not, and I refuse."
The thugs seemed ready to attack but were held back by Devdan.
"Patient!" He said.
Devdan hesitates for a moment, glaring at me. "You seem to be very careful. Alright, then, I'll change my sentence. Join the student council!"
"How stupid. If I don't want to?"
"Hmm ... How about this. You can fight one of my subordinates. And if you win, it's up to you. But if you lose, you have to join the student council. You can see how kind I am from what I offered, right?"
The hell? That's not an offer.
Again a troublesome thing.
"Huh ... You keep coming to interfering with my life. I wonder, is bloodshed in school allowed?" I said coldly.
"I have no idea." Devdan smiles.
"You're not going to let me go anyway, are you?"
Devdan folds his hands, raises his chin. "I always got what I wanted."
"So spoiled. All right, I take it."
"Whoever the opponent is, you don't mind right?" He asked.
"Yeah."
Then he appointed one of his subordinates to come against me.
It turned out that a beautiful woman with short silver hair and a slightly short body came forward.
"You wouldn't say you wouldn't fight because she's a girl, would you?"
"Don't worry, I'm a gender equality."
"My name is Avara Amrita, nice to meet you. Please don't hold back." Avara gave a small bow.
Looks like she's pretty calm. When you look closely it turns out that she is very small
But I don't care.
As long as she has entered the battlefield, then she is my enemy, and I will not spare her.
"I won't hold back, take it easy."
"Then, I'll make the arena.
[Creation: Battlefield]." Devdan began to cast a spell, creating an arena.
Being able to make an arena indicates that he has mastered his magi.
He's worth watching out for.
Slowly, the ground where Avara and I stood began to darken, tiny particles appeared to form an artificial world called an arena.
The artificial world is not just for the arena but is most often used for it.
The arena this time was not in the shape of a Colosseum, it was more like a large piece of land without walls and roofs. It was a vast field without a single object visible as far as the eye could see.
"So, what are you capable of?" Avara starts the conversation.
"Telling important information to my enemy? I'm not that stupid."
"I think you're right. Then let's get started!" Avara put on a stance, positioned herself as if she were holding a katana,
"[Broker]!"
From the air where she stood, tiny particles began to move toward her grip, knitting themselves slowly, forming a very strong and flawless katana.
With an extremely fast movement, it disappeared and appeared in front of me, swinging its sword.
I dodged quietly.
She was constantly swinging her sword in all directions, looking for my vital spot, looking for opportunities when I seemed caught off guard.
However, I continued to dodge without the slightest injury, jumping back a few steps away from her.
"You're not bad." My praise to Avara.
"Shouldn't I say that?"
"But sorry, I'll end it soon."
Then I disappeared and appeared right in her face, tried to hit her but she avoided it.
"You ran fast too, huh?" She returned the compliment.
With a unique ability, I appeared
behind Avara's back and hits her
slowly, but somehow managed to blow it away, bouncing away.
With the same technique, I disappeared and appeared to be standing parallel to her, kicking Avara into the sky in a relaxed manner.
Avara was thrown, floating several tens of meters above the ground. Several ribs were broken.
A bubble encircled my body.
Plop
At the same time as the sound of popping bubbles was heard, I teleported instantly on top of Avara's body then threw her body into the earth, destroying it, creating a large curve.
"What the—" Avara coughed, spitting blood out of her mouth, staining the school uniform she was wearing.
I appeared before her then said,
"You're wrong. Running isn't my style. It's teleportation."
.
.
.
Battlefield slowly disappeared and then returned to the front yard of the school with lots of students watching us.
Again, I drew attention.
The people who watched the match earlier began to gather to take a closer look at me.
"Haha! How impressive! It seems I underestimated you too much."
Devdan laughs with satisfaction as if he had a very large provocation.
"Can I go now?"
"Right. As promised, you win, so I'll let you through."
After staring uncomfortably at Devdan, I turned around and walked away from the crowd.
"Brother! Are you okay? I'm worried!" asked Alicia anxiously.
"That was great, bro! You keep moving from place to place like that!" Alvarado cried out in joy.
"I'm fine."
"Is it true?!" Alicia's face looked even more anxious.
Seeing you like that makes me not want to show you what really I can do.
"Yes, I'm okay," I replied, gives her a little smile.
"Turns out that you can smile too." Alvarado tease.
"Oh, shut up."
