Chapter 36

Chapter 36

In total, Slyvia had 4 brothers. Mathew used to be the oldest and was currently a everyday in the Alure kingdom army. John and Jake were a little bit younger than Mathew, however they too worked for the military and their ranks weren't honest at the back of Mathew, additionally being captains of their very own squads.

The youngest of the four was Max. He used to be presently in his 0.33 yr at Roland academy. Mages needed to analyze a lot greater than knights, so whilst knights had to continue to be at the academy for three years then do two years' service in the army, mages had to study for five years. But as soon as they finished, they have been free to do what they wanted.

Slyvia used to be currently speaking about everything she had carried out at the academy. Her brothers seen straight away that Slyvia would convey up a certain person's title up more than once. And when she talked about this boy, her tone would barely change.

Just then, Slyvia observed Ray entering the room. Their eyes met and Slyvia gleefully waved at Ray. Ray smiled and waved back.

"Is that this Ray boy you have been talking about this complete time?"

"What are you giving me that look for? He's just a suitable friend."

Then when Slyvia went returned to seem to be at her brothers, she ought to solely count three of them.

"Huh, the place did Max go?"

When she turned around, she may want to see that Max had his arm round Ray's neck.

"Slyvia stated a lot of matters about you. Come over let's have a chat," Max stated as he dragged Ray with the aid of the neck to the rest of the group.

Max had added Ray over and Slyvia was once starting to get butterflies in her stomach. She knew Ray wasn't correct at speaking with people, however her family used to be the opposite. They loved to talk; she used to be hoping the two of them would not conflict somehow.

Mathew was once giving Ray a bloodless stare as Max brought him over.

"Ah yes, now I realise you. You had been the boy who went on a rampage in the opening round."

Slyvia shortly interrupted them earlier than either of them may want to continue.

"That's because Ray had a lot on his idea at the moment."

Mathew then put out his hand to shake Ray's. Ray looked at it for a while and then general the handshake.

"I will believe you to seem after my sister."

Slyvia's face began to turn shiny red.

"What does that mean? I can appear after myself," Slyvia replied.

"Slyvia is a properly leader," Ray said.

The four brothers have been started up by the first phrases that had come out of Ray's mouth and began to laugh.

Ray ought to tell when shaking palms with Mathew that he used to be strong. Ray was once sincerely very tempted to use mana steal. It used to be the first time he had been this close to a mage and a powerful one at that. He couldn't start to think about how plenty mana the individual in the front of him had.

"Well Ray, you higher win your battle today," Max said. "Then we can see every other once more in the all kingdom tournament, I'll be part of the Roland Academy team."

Ray's ears perked up slightly. One of Slyvia's brothers went to Roland academy?

"Sorry did you say you went to Roland? did you appear to know a woman student that exceeded away currently by way of the identify of Amy?

"I'm sorry, Roland is a huge school, I'm not sure I have," Max replied.

Although Max was once attempting his nice to act normal and put on a brave face, Ray ought to tell that his attitude and feelings had changed as soon as he had asked the question. Max was surely hiding something.

"Why do not you two begin getting equipped for the tournament," Mathew recommended. "It will be beginning any second now."

With introductions over, Slyvia and Ray walked off to sit next to Gary and the others who have been on their own.

Mathew became and appeared over at Max.

"What are you hiding Max? You need to inform me everything about this Amy female he asked for."

"Yes, brother," Max replied.

Then Jake approached with the aid of Mathew's facet and whispered.

"What do you think of him?"

"The boy's eyes were fierce; he wasn't scared of us at all. In fact, he was once almost searching at us like we have been some type of food. The boy is strong however hazardous as well."

"Should we get rid of him?"

"No, go away him for now and let's simply see what happens."

It used to be nearly time for the first match of the third-year college students in opposition to the second-year students. Everyone stated goodbye to their household participants and pals and soon, only the contestants had been left in the room.

Everyone made sure their equipment and equipment had been put on properly earlier than ready for the call to head out. Ray seen that Slyvia was barely shaking. It was once a unusual sight for Ray and the others to see. Usually, Slyvia was once always calm and composed mainly when leading the group.

Ray determined to sit down down next to Slyvia. As Ray took a seat, Sylvia looked up at Ray and tried her satisfactory to force a smile.

"I'm a mess right, now don't seem to be I?" Slyvia admitted. "It's just…this fit capability so tons for me. My brothers, you met earlier. They have all finished fantastic things. When my mother and father observed out I couldn't perform magic, all their expectations of me form of disappeared. Every day I would see my brothers get praised whilst I remained invisible in the background. This is subsequently my threat to prove to them I'm no longer useless."

There was once a slight silence between the two of them earlier than Ray determined to reply.

"Did they even trouble to exhibit up?" Ray inquired. "I noticed your brothers right here however not your mom and father. Stop wondering about human beings who aren't even here and begin questioning about the people round you. If you start ignoring the humans who are around you and chase the people who aren't, that is how you give up up with no one."

Tears commenced to float out of Slyvia eyes. Her complete lifestyles she had been making an attempt to impress her mother and father and ultimately she had the opportunity. Truthfully, she used to be upset that they did not arrive yet she nonetheless wanted their acceptance. At , she in no way felt like she had a family as her brothers had been usually away and her mom and father were too busy.

When she arrived at the academy and shaped her team and friends, she began treating them as a family. That's why she always tried so difficult to end arguments from taking place and tried to assist repair matters she wasn't even a part of.

She understood what Ray was saying.

As Slyvia was once questioning about what to do she all of sudden felt a hand on her back, but it wasn't just one hand. When she became around, she ought to see that everyone used to be there searching out for her. Monk, Martha, Dan, Ian, Gary, Kyle and even the two twins Badger and Sloth.

Slyvia wiped away her tears and appeared Ray in the eyes. The others could see that Ray and Slyvia would be first-rate left by myself and decided to get equipped somewhere else.

"I want to win Ray, and now not for my family. I favor us all to go to the All Kingdom Tournament together."

Ray preferred Slyvia a lot. She in no way discriminated towards him and saw him simply like all and sundry else. Ray wanted her to be part of his team in the future however right now her loyalty used to be nonetheless with her family. Everything she had executed so far used to be for her family. If she persisted down the route of fascinating her parents, Ray should see this inflicting serious problems. However, Ray should see even though that she was once slowly changing.

Slyvia's hand used to be nonetheless shaking a little.

"I met a man today. He instructed me that Jack was once strong, too strong. Originally, I used to be assured however for some purpose these words the man said saved repeating in my head. What if he's proper Ray? What if he is too strong for me?"

Ray realised that the man she was once speakme about was himself when he used to be disguised as Nes. At the time, Ray concept there used to be nothing he could do, so he told her to the fact in hopes that Slyvia would locate a way to overcome Jack's inherent strength. Sadly, it seemed like she hadn't and was searching to him for answers.

"Slyvia, do you surely want to win?"

Slyvia nodded in response.

"I'm a man who expects their favour to be back to them. If I help you now you have to assist me in the future."

Although Ray sounded a bit selfish, he wanted to make it abundantly clear that Slyvia would owe him for this.

"Ray even if you didn't help me out now, I would usually assist you out."

"Good answer. Now I can help you however what I'm about to do is solely brief and you need to come returned to me again afterwards okay? And I don't suppose I have to say this however now not a soul ought to know of what I'm about to do."

Slyvia nodded again.

Ray then stood up and went in the back of Slyvia placing his hand on her back.

...

As the power flowed from Ray into Slyvia, she could experience all her cells begin to leap around. Her skin felt like it used to be on fire. A burning sensation grew during her body. It wasn't a horrific ache though; it was once almost as if she used to be being reborn.

Ray had exceeded over twenty factors of mana to Slyvia. With this on pinnacle of her Ki power, he thought it should be sufficient to even the playing area against Jack.

Slyvia could sense the energy interior her nearly triple in power. She couldn't believe it. Then her thought went returned to the first round of the tournament. She had seen Ray take the Ki from the contestants on the ground. If Ray was once in a position to take Ki, then did this suggest he used to be in a position to supply Ki to others as well?

It used to be hard for Slyvia to believe though. No mage used to be capable of skill like this. It used to be unheard of, however she could in reality feel all the Ki in her body.

"Your body isn't used to that quantity of Ki; I would say while battle your body has a maximum of ten minutes. Don't go over that time otherwise, you will simply cease up unfavorable your body."

Ray's physique was once extraordinary permitting him to manipulate a loopy quantity of Ki without negative his body. Slyvia used to be proficient and if Ray gave her a little bit of Ki over time, then her body would be capable to adapt to the quantity but proper now if she stood any threat of beating Jack. Ray knew he had to at least supply Slyvia this much.

"This is an announcement; would all contestants please make their way to the arena."

It was time for the 2d stage of the event to begin.

The ten second-year students walked into the area while the ten third-year college students walked in from the other side. As the two teams entered, they had been greeted with giant cheers that shook the whole stadium.

Slyvia scanned the crowd for her brothers whilst Gary's eyes had been focused on one person: Harry, who used to be stood on the contrary cease of the arena.

"Will absolutely everyone please look to the display in the middle of the arena."

The holographic show started out to randomise photos of all the contestants until it finally stopped.

"And it appears like the first combat of this evening will be between the lovely brilliant Slyvia Heart versus the impenetrable Jack Dem!"

Slyvia and Jack approached the centre of the stage while the relaxation of the students watched with keen anticipation from the outside.

The policies were a bit specific for the second round in contrast to the first round. Contestants were allowed to use real equipment for this fight. There had been no longer any bracelets on both contestant. Instead, two grasp knights were on standby, Sir k and Wilfred. If a contestant was to take a fatal blow, Wilfred and Sir K would do the whole thing in their strength to quit the battle simply earlier than the blow would hit and declare one man or woman the winner.

If it was additionally apparent that one character used to be overwhelmingly better than the other, at any time the grasp knights had the power to cease the contestants and declare the different individual the winner. If a contestant is knocked out or forfeited, this too would be counted as a win.

Slyvia gripped her defend and sword tightly in her hand while Jack walked slowly with his giant exceptional sword on his back. Jack used to be shirtless and wore no armour.

The second-year students bought nervous and the sight of Jack wielding such a massive weapon.

"Do you suppose she can win?" Monk asked.

"Of course, she can Monk" Martha replied. "You be aware of how sturdy she is."

Although Ray had every other idea going on in his head. Even although he shared his mana with Slyvia, he was once hoping that Jack was nevertheless injured from the occasions of final night, but Jack looked like he had definitely recovered. There wasn't a mark on him. It appeared like Ray wasn't the only one with a special body.

The centre of the arena used to be barely accelerated compared to the relaxation of the arena this time. Jack and Slyvia stood up into the centre. When they each obtained on, Slyvia used to be staring carefully at Jack, but Jack was once searching straight previous her and immediately at Ray.

Then a horrible notion got here across Ray's mind.

"Boss, do you prefer me to forfeit this match!" Jack shouted from across the area while searching at Ray.

Ray's horrible thinking was right. Jack used to be a headstrong loyal i***t.

Ray determined to pass Jack's phrases hoping he would get the message and regarded away.

"Boss can you hear me? Boss? Boss!"

"Err Ray, I assume he's speaking to you," Monk indicated.

"Of path not, he's genuinely looking for this boss person."

"Ray, Ray!" Jack then continued to shout.

Everyone was stunned. Why used to be the variety one student, a third-year, calling a second-year student boss? The relaxation of Ray's teammates didn't even understand how to react.

Ray in the end shook his head to which Jack nodded.

"Okay, I may not maintain back," Jack stated as he pulled out his giant greatsword. "I thinking you may have been the boss's lady friend or something."

"I'm not his girlfriend." Slyvia snapped again with a red face. "We're simply actually accurate friends."

Although Slyvia used to be shocked by the whole lot going on, the shock made her sense calmer. She was once no longer shaking with nerves.

"And the first healthy of the day will start in 3….2…1…"

The warhorn played signalling the begin of the first round.

Slyvia started out cautiously, her thinking was once clear and she wanted to see Jack's talent level. She allowed Jack to assault first and it is what he did. With no hesitation, Jack swung his greatsword down at Slyvia. Slyvia rolled out of the way inflicting the sword to smash and shape a crater in the ground.

"That attack was so powerful!" Dan shouted. "Her protect will be useless against that thing."

Although the others did not want to say it, they concept the same thing.

Slyvia allowed Jack to proceed to attack extensively and Slyvia dodged each one of them. It appeared like Jack was once taking part in whack a mole. Slyvia observed that Jack attacked so widely he left many openings to attack back. Originally, she notion that Jack was possibly placing up a trap looking her to attack there. After all, she was once facing the variety one pupil in the Academy.

But after a while, she realised that Jack was once just being reckless. This time when Jack came in for a swing, Slyvia moved out of the way and attacked back. But as her sword touched Jack's body, her blade bounced again as if she was hitting a strong wall.

Slyvia used to be currently using the identical amount of Ki she always had. She did not favor to use the present that Ray had given her simply but and she also did not agree with someone's body would be tough ample to face up to an assault from an superior tier weapon.

"Didn't Slyvia simply get an superior tier weapon?" Martha asked.

"Yeah, she's the usage of it now," Ian replied.

This spectacle made Gary assume he was relatively lucky to get an opponent like Harry. With Gary's intermediate duel blades, he ought to by no means hope to put a scratch on Jack's body. Although he felt horrific for Slyvia, he needed to win his combat more than anything so he should go through to the All Kingdom Tournament.

After Slyvia's sword bounced back off Jack's body, Jack wasted no time in attacking, swinging his giant sword at her. Slyvia managed to bring her protect in the front of her just in time.

The sword came down and smashed down on the defend sending a loud ring through the stadium. Slyvia used to be being pushed down from the strength and weight of the sword and her protect used to be slowly breaking apart.

She had no preference now; she focused the more Ki round her body and pushed with all her strength. The guard pushed the sword away and is it did, pieces of the protect went flying everywhere.

"Your more desirable than you look," Jack said. "Now it is getting interesting."

"Ten minutes, this is all I have," Slyvia concept as she threw the relaxation of her damaged defend away and charged in at Jack.

With Slyvia's protect now broken, she ought to only be counted on her velocity and the extra Ki. With fierce determination, she infused her legs with Ki and kicked it up a notch. With speeds a good deal faster than she used to be used to, Slyvia dashed towards Jack. Jack answered with a horizontal minimize in the direction of her neck. She ducked and slashed across Jack's physique vertically with all the power she should muster.

She jumped backwards to avoid any counterattack. Jack commenced to sense a extraordinary itching sensation on his chest. He seemed down and noticed a lengthy crimson scratch mark across his body. No blood had been drawn but for the first time ever, human beings witnessed Jack receiving an injury.

"Harry, are you looking at this?" Cherry eyes looked like they have been about to pop out of her skull from what she had simply seen.

"I didn't suppose there used to be all of us in the school who would be in a position to harm Jack. If all and sundry had a chance, I would have concept it had been Ray. It appears like we might have underestimated the 2nd years."

On the other side, the second years have been having the whole opposite reaction.

"Slyvia did all that and she just brought on a scratch?" Dan shouted. "His body ought to be made of steel."

Slyvia looked at Jack and bit her lip. Even with the use of greater Ki she nonetheless wasn't in a position to damage Jack sufficient to even draw blood.

Slyvia had no time to rest. She knew she was once beneath a time limit. She came in attacking Jack on every occasion she could, keeping off big swings and going in at just the right time to attack.

The target market was once at the area of their seat. They ought to tell that one huge swing from Jack's large sword would quit the in shape at any moment.

Dodge, strike, dodge, strike, dodge, strike. This pattern repeated itself but still, there was no luck. Jack's body was simply slightly pink from Slyvia's profitable hits.

"Stronger, Faster." Slyvia notion in her head with each strike.

"Was Slyvia constantly this strong?" Monk asked.

The rest of the team had considered matters they by no means thinking Slyvia ought to do. Her speed regarded higher and she seemed stronger. Even even though Slyvia had the help of Ray's Ki, it meant nothing if the man or woman wielding it wasn't skilful sufficient to use it.

"Time's up," Ray whispered to himself.

Slyvia went in for one more strike and as she did, suddenly, shooting pains started to ring via her body. It felt like any one was once tearing her muscular tissues from interior out.

"Just a little more." She said.

Jack noticed Slyvia had slowed down greatly, he went for every other swing and thinking this was once the end.

*Clash

A large cloud of dust used to be swept up as the giant super sword made impact. When the dirt subsequently settled, Wilfred's hand was maintaining the large incredible sword in vicinity while Sir K was carrying Slyvia over his shoulder.

"And we have a winner, Jack Dem!"

"Dammit, how used to be she ever supposed to win towards a monster like that!" Dan complained.

"She did well," Ray said.

There wasn't a doubt in anyone's mind that Slyvia had tried her first-rate and if they were put in the identical situation as her, they would have solely been in a position to operate half of as well. Sir K shortly took Slyvia to the scientific bay. Wilfred provided Jack the opportunity to go however Jack insisted there used to be no need.

As Jack commenced strolling returned to his teammates, he noticed his chest was beginning to sting a little. When he regarded down again, he saw a faint trace of blood leaking out of the red scratches.

"You have sturdy pals Ray." Jack thought as he smiled and endured to walk lower back to his teammates.

The next in shape was once Badger vs Violet. Badger seemed anxious as he started to stroll on to the stage. He wasn't his traditional self and his twin brother Sloth used to be the same.

"What is he so involved about? He did in reality well in the opening round," Gary said.

Sloth appeared at badger on foot into the ring.

"The element is, the two of us have never definitely been aside from each other. We do everything together, even use the equal toothbrush."

"That's kinda disgusting man," Dan shuttered at the thinking of using any one else's toothbrush.

The fight commenced and the others shortly realised what Sloth was speaking about. All the acrobatic strikes that they saw Sloth and Badger do in the first round, relied on them using each other. In the ring right now, he was a sitting duck ready to be fried.
