The morning atmosphere in Anggelisia Kingdom looks crowded and full of activity, with residents passing by in the streets and stalls lined up. The cheerful and warm atmosphere offers a special beauty and can captivate anyone who sees it.
In the middle of the crowd, there is a figure of Fiona who walks ahead of Arthur. The girl continued to move faster as if avoiding the figure of Arthur behind her, she had tried to reach, but Fiona's steps just got faster so she was not caught.
"Fiona!"
He shouted, making some people look. But Fiona did not respond and continued to go faster.
"Fiona!"
He tried again, twice. Three times. Four times. And there was no answer, the girl just stepped over without looking. Until the eighth call, Fiona finally gave up.
He stopped walking and looked behind Arthur.
"What's wrong?"
Fiona's usually cheerful and blissful blue sky eyes are now narrowed. A sign that he is disturbed.
Sweating and smiling wryly, Arthur replied, "Did I do something wrong?"
Of course the question arises. Remembering the behavior of Fiona who tried to stay away from him.
"Humph!"
Turning his gaze in a cute way, he let out a sound of whispering. His cheeks puffed up like puffer fish.
From Arthur's point of view he looks funny, but for now it's better not to say anything.
"I'm not angry or anything! Just a little..be ashamed."
At the end of the sentence Fiona's voice was so small that it could not be heard. Arthur tilted his head, and he was confused by this girl.
They kept stopping and Arthur stared in confusion. Silence strikes them in this crowd.
"Don't keep staring at me."
Saying that Fiona lowered her head, playing with the neatly-dropped blonde hair. Of course what is done is an action to withstand embarrassment.
"Sorry."
"... don't keep apologizing. It makes me feel a little guilty."
That means Arthur is innocent and Fiona says it honestly. Even with a low voice and a little trembling.
"...."
There was no special response from Arthur other than wide-open eyelids, red eyes were sparkling. As if amazed by that word.
"Stop with that look! Duh..."
Shouting with cheeks that were now heating up, Fiona turned her body as fast as lightning and immediately walked back with quick steps. No. This is faster than before.
"What are you waiting for? Academy hours are coming so let's go!"
Arthur stared closely and smiled before finally stepping towards the academy.
...***...
"A Competition?"
Class F seems to be saying this at the same time. Because the topic discussed earlier was surprising.
"Yes you are right" the bespectacled female teacher said. His name is Evengilia.
"As the name suggests we want all of you to fight in duels with each other. This is to test the extent of your strength. Important information anyone who can successfully have the best sekor can then go to the next class."
Surprised by this favorable news, everyone opened their eyes wide except Arthur.
Of course being able to get out of class F which is famous for its weaknesses is a good thing.
There is no fool who is not tempted by such temptations.
What everyone thinks is the same now. The determination to win.
"I like this look."
Smiling, Evengilia said. He could feel the stares as well as the high determination of everyone.
Yeah except...
"Arthur Midnight, aren't you interested?"
The look of the class now changed to Arthur.
For Arthur to be in any class is the same, as long as he can know a little information about the seven pieces of the devil.
And he now finds out that the killer behind today is after one of those pieces.
But there's a bad feeling about having to part with Fiona because it's very likely that Fiona will come along and who knows she won.
"I'm definitely interested!"
That was what Evengilia was waiting for. He grins.
"alright. The fight will start today and the opponent ..."
Evengilia wrote on the board. There neatly arranged, match opponents, and order.
Max and Arthur are at the beginning of the game. Then Fiona and Lisa—doll-carrying girls. Next up are Waron and Gray.
Whereas because this class itself contains seven people, one person is left. Agnes— is a girl who looks like a child. But somehow his aura looks dangerous. And he was in the last game.
So if everyone fought and left one winner then Agnes would be the semi-finalist.
It sounds very cheating, but here's proof that he's the strongest.
"How can the little boy get special action?"
max looked in disbelief, he stared intently at Agnes who was still smiling innocently like a child. As if I didn't know what was really going on.
When the little girl caught sight of Max accidentally meeting with Arthur. Makes Max more emotional because he has a personal vendetta.
"Curtain, my opponent is him, huh?"
Max clucking. With this he can eliminate all his dissatisfaction to Arthur. But one question arises.
Will he be able to win? Against the figure of Arthur who could even withstand a few sword slashes from Rei.
'Glek.'
If he remembered the fight, Max gulped. He couldn't see Rei's movements while fighting and Arthur? Although it was difficult, but at least he was able to withstand some attacks from her.
This is what makes Max less and less doubtful.
"Max and Arthur. Prepare yourself because the first game is you."
Evengelia said so. Of course Arthur and Max just nodded their heads. Then look at each other with serious eyes.
...***...
Now all class F has arrived in a battle area that is not too big and as close as possible.
With anti-magic buildings are very suitable. The spectators were on the round line and were in the corner.
While Arthur and Max they are in the big roundabout because they are the first fight.
With a sword firmly grasped Arthur made the horses ready to fight. Max himself seems to be carrying nothing.
Considering he was a fire user, so maybe there was no need for a weapon? But whatever it is doesn't matter.
Evengelia gave the signal the fight began.
Swosh
As expected of a fire user. He created a huge fireball very quickly. Attacking Arthur.
It's just...
As if not a strong thing, Arthur avoids to the right side easily.
Pissed. Max stretches his hands forward. A red circle is depicted on her hand. And once again the fireball attacked.
But this also did not work because Arthur cut the fire, making it two parts.
"Damn!"
Feeling free Max yells annoyed.
He reached into his pocket and took out a two-handed gun in black.
Gathering magic energy in the gun, making a reddish color and when Max platters out.
Duars
A long flame forms a slinder attacking Arthur. It's so hot, dozens of times stronger than before.
Therefore Arthur jumped to avoid, the movement was perfect only.
Swosh
Max moved around very quickly. Utilize a gun to create great pressure and high speed.
Seeing the surprised Arthur for a few seconds was a good thing, while grinning he managed to hit Arthur up a few feet mentally.
Seeing Arthur mentally there was a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He's thinking. 'Huh, I don't seem to need to use the flames of anger.'
