Sword Anthem's
Chapter 9 - Preparation

In such an atmosphere I was like in a cage with a pack of hungry wolves. I can feel how serious they are, even though this is just a match practice.

Rena approached me with a thin wooden board, she handed it to me.

"Kuro's structure, these are the data of the Knights Legion. Miss Aresya told me to give this to you, "he said with an enigmatic face.

I don't know what he thinks of me. After all I don't care much about it anymore, after this has passed I will leave this academy and the kingdom.

"Hmm .. let's see .. ohh. Velia Priscelya, as Leader of Knight." He was near Reya and also Hiro.

"Then next to him was Hiro Einher, he held the title of Knight of Magia. Hmm. .. deserved it," I said, "after that it was Grey Reshiel as a Knight of Assassin. It seems he's good at soundless attacks."

A gray-haired man with two sparkling blue eyes. Peach cream skin standard. I don't know what weapon he used because he doesn't carry at all.

"Ok, next up is Mea Froster bearing the title of Knight of Wind."

A purple haired woman, she carried a bow that was wide enough also in her left hand. There was a bunch of arrows behind his back, stored inside a bag of rectangular shaped skin.

"Alright with it was five, now is Lilyana Evyhart bearing the title of Knight of spirit. Pretty unique name apparently"

Hmmm .. It looks like he looks like Oz.

The woman with long brown hair, using a red headband.He also carried a sword, where the sword pulled out two red and blue spirits—.

"Then next to him was Shiren Floira, bearing the title of Knight of the Priest."

This beautiful woman is so very calm like a lotus flower on a pond. White and also slightly blushing, her eyes were beautiful black. He has long black hair and wears a pair of white gloves even though he wears a sports shirt.

"After him was Sightmund Erlesta, bearing the title Knigt of Defender."

He had short yellow hair, his face was quite handsome with sharp eyes. A sword hung on his hip and an eagle on his shoulder began to flap its wings.

Although nicknamed as a defense knight, but he did not carry a shield at all.

counter-attack, huh?

"The last one is Reya Leshar, who bears the title of Knight of Templar" I murmured. "Alright, thank you Rena," I continued

"Then I go back to Miss Aresya's place, please don't hurt them. Instructor Kuro," he said with a worried face.

"Ohh .. of course it will not, it is possible that my salary will be cut if injuring them may be in blasphemy .. hehehe"

"Hahaha .. It seems I mistook you, Instructor Kuro"

"Your max?"

"Because of your bad title, people treat you like a lowly person. It seems that I was wrong, after speaking directly to you, I now know that such rumors are wrong" he explained with a look on his face

the calm.

"Hmm .. yes, everyone has different perceptions about it, so it's not your fault. Then I go to teach first"

"Hahaha .. Then I say too."

After that I turned around and approached the Knights Legion.

After that Rena returned to the bench of the coach, Aresya and Fear also seemed excited to look forward to something like this. While the little girl was still chewing her large candy, while the woman beside her opened a small book.

"How do you know what I mean?" aresya asked with a blush.

"As Miss Aresya said."

I also raised my right hand up. All the Knights of the Legion looked at me carefully.

"Hmm .. Then I'll start practicing this match. However, as per the request of the assistant principal, I should not overdo it for fear that my salary and insurance will be cut by your principal."

They all chuckled and Reya gave advice on the combat system.

"Instructure Kuro, what if you just defend while we attack you with our full force"

"Hohoho ... Good idea, Reya. Although it seems cruel, but I can accept it. Then I'll use a light weapon but it's not dangerous" I said, "Van did you bring it?"

"As you asked yesterday, Kuro," he said and threw an object at me.

"Well ... thank you, then I accept this," I said and caught it with my left hand, "you are not disappointed with this sword? Although wood but its durability is very strong."

Van just smiled a little while crossing his arms, “No problem"

"Well, then I'll start training. Of course by the rules," I said "first, you must not use third-rate magic. Second, do not use large-scale attacks, and the three anyone whose shoulders are touched by my hands will be instantly considered dead. You understand?"

They all nodded steadily the sign would accept it. "If you violate one of them, you will be disqualified"

"You ready?"

Grey quickly attacked me and he was behind me. Throwing out an attack with his sharp wind sword eyes, without the slightest sound. While from the right direction was Lily who crossed her sword eyes starting to release spirit aura from her sword.

"Huh?!—“

"What are you guys doing? Aren't you ready?"

What they attacked was just a bunch of air, because right now I was far above after jumping high. Floating slowly while maneuvering with the air.

Perhaps for them this was his first fight, in contrast to Reya and Velia who had known the extent of my true strength.

On the other side I saw Mea had thrown a swift arrow. It looks like he's aiming at my right thigh.

I can't avoid it, but ....

"I just need to move a little bit of my body."

Unfortunately the arrow missed. Because at this time I made it as a pedestal after gluing my feet and then jumping again.

"Instructure Kuro, I won't let go ... *Fire Bird*!!!"

Hiro began to act with his magic which is still level one. His attack managed to hit me, but stroking him would be a lot more fun.

"Finally I managed to defeat Instructor Kuro ... eh?"

Because what he managed to burn was just a scarf that I used.

"Hiro, after releasing a magic then look around you,"

cold spoken.

After easily tricking him, I hit him without knowing, then grabbed him by the shoulder, "Ok, Hiro, you're dead"

"Ehhhh .. but I just used one magic, Instructor Kuro," he whined.

"Rules are rules, little friend.”

The moody Hiro immediately went to the sidelines.

"Well, who wants to feel a cold touch on his shoulder?" I said while looking at them coldly.

"Ha .. hahaha, Instructor Kuro, you are indeed very strong. Then this time it's my turn" Reya said, then dashed towards me quickly.

"I'm going to support you, Reya" Velia said.

"Hehhhh .. Then come and try to give this wound to your instructor."

Reya charged at me while issuing an attack that seemed to be very strong, while Velia made a deceitful attack and then spun around behind me.

Is it a fraud attack? Also good .. but.

Using the foot movement technique, I managed to avoid them. After that I pulled their arms tightly.

I was quite amused by Reya's panicked look, but I was goosebumps looking at Velia's seemingly amused look. I remembered his words this morning ..’Reiss, you do like to play rough, huh?’ with blushing cheeks.

Strengthening the power and I immediately threw Reya as far as possible, while Velia because it was too dangerous, I also touched her shoulder. After that, he hugged me for a while before whispering something into my ear.

At least I have secured it, bodo time with his invitation, the important one has come out.

"Ehhh ... Velia, have you also lost to Instructor Kuro?" chirped Hiro in shock.

"As you can see for yourself, Hiro. I've lost, "Said.

"Whuooaaaa!! ... Instructor Kuro is great, it's not wrong I respect him”

"Of course Kuro-sensei is strong, he is my husband" Velia murmured softly.

"Ehhc ... Velia, what did you just say?"

"No, forget about Hiro. I just muttered to myself. We better take another look at Instructor Kuro and the others"

"Good."

I have set aside the remaining two people are Reya, Lily, Mea, Shiren, Grey and also Sightmund .. ehh? Where's Sightmund?

"Instructure .. thanks for the training, but sorry I'll end it"

That voice came from behind, since when was Sightmund behind me? Does he have the same abilities as Grey?

He threw the ground with his sword sharp enough, right towards the calf my feet were on.

"Then ... huh!?"

"Upsss .. I'm sorry, Sightmund. It seems that this match practice is not finished yet."

I dodged the attack by hovering and applying pressure on my footstool so that I floated a few inches above his sword eyes.

"I don't believe this" he said slowly.

"Don't I tell you, this fight isn't over yet"

I jumped back with both hands, and without realizing I had touched his shoulders, "Well, Sightmund. You're dead"

"B-but how can it? I-I should have managed to do it," he said in disbelief.

"Everything is ripe, but you're too confident that's what makes me feel your presence even though you've been good at it. Now go to the side of the field, accompany Hiro and Velia"

"Well, instructor."

He reluctantly left the field and he immediately found Hiro and Velia who were there. Hiro's eyes again sparkled with excitement.

"Three down, then who's next?" I muttered and then stepped closer towards them, "Alright, this time it was my turn to attack .. hehehe"

"Instructure aren't you banned from attacking and just defending, right?" ask Reya quickly.

"Calm down, this is not an attack but a greeting. Then you are the first—“

Taking advantage of their shock, I moved quickly. After that patted Lily's shoulders who was careless.

"Ehh?!! .... "

Lily was shocked and could not believe that her shoulder had just been touched by me. I know from the look on his face that looks like a ghost.

"Is that magic?” tanyanya while holding her chin.

"So it's just physical ability, sweet. Then go to the side of the field immediately. It will be a little dangerous here" I replied.

"M-sweet? Me?" Lily asked nervously her face flushed red.

"Of course, you girls. If you're a boy do you want me to call him sweet? If you have the question immediately leave, ok."

Lily was still embarrassed and her face was as red as a plum in the spring. After that, he went to the side of the field.

It seems that I was being watched by two intimidating eyes, should I not say that? When I turned my head, the look on Velia's face looked creepy.

It's like saying 'Hehehehe .. get ready Reiss, you won't be able to rest anymore'.

Instantly my hair gets goosebumps." Five more now, anyone want to go forward?"

Without a doubt Shiren who from earlier did not make a move directly hit me along with Grey.

With his water sword, Shiren launched about seven slashes that were soft but had a great impact. Grey, he launched a very fast backstab attack.

First was Shiren, the slash of his sword that was like flowing water coming from the front. I also delivered everything by bending every distance of his attack neatly using the edge of this wooden sword.

He was pushed and could not control his balance, then I touched his shoulder, "Hi, Shiren you fall—“

At the same time Grey's attack landed on my blind spot, but I lowered my head and took a powerful enough swivel kick to knock off his weapon and I quickly touched their shoulders.

“—Grey, you're also dead," I continued with a small smile.

"The structure is too strong" he chanted in a carefree tone.

"If I can defeat the instructor, please make me your wife, and from then on please take care of me for good" Shiren said lightly, his voice very soft and friendly. He bowed then followed Grey who first left him.

"Shiren ... that's too much," I muttered nervously, "now it's just you two Mea and Reya, you guys ready?"

"I'm always ready, Instructor Kuro," said Reya with enthusiasm.

"I don't want to lose" said Mea, he immediately jumped about five arrows in one pull.

Reya caught up with him by launching her sword at me, it seemed like she was inspired by my movements during the time in the Graughas Grassland.

I also split all the arrows in one silent quick wail. Reya's attack can also be avoided. But he ran straight towards me.

Strengthening his horses, a straight kick he directed right towards my head. Turning quickly, I raised his leg with my sword and dropped it in one slam.

I started running towards Mea quickly while Reya was still helpless. Mea realized it and then she again shot several shots from her wide bow, with a formation of two arrows, which were followed by one arrow, and finally six arrows in succession.

There were so many arrows with different directions, the first one was just pointing right at me. While the second swooped in the air and pointed right at my neck.

For the rest of the snake's head, it bounced randomly and then swooped down like an eagle. My mouth smiled with interest, I clenched my hands and threw this sword.

Time slowed down like I was pulling between dimensions, for the first two arrows were gliding manly towards me. On one count I grasped the two arrows.

Mea was surprised, she stepped back with dripping sweat. I broke the left arrow, then flicked it to the ceiling. The arrow fracture protected me from the deadly attack of the arrow that shot towards the back of my neck.

The arrow fracture was smashed into pieces together with the arrow crashing into the back of my neck. Then there was one more arrow left in my right hand.

Sia the other arrows were like eagles, swooping so sharply like blades that had been sharpened. I dodged the four arrows, I threw the arrows in the grasp of my right hand.

It shot so fast that it hollowed out the arrow that was nosediving. And one more surprise from an unexpected teacher, Mea drowned limply. Knowing that such a great attack can be defeated by bare hands.

I walked towards Mea, "Then Mea, you fall" I said, capturing the sword I threw into the sky. Then walk towards him and hold his shoulder.

"I-Instructor .. Are you really a teacher?" tanyanya panic.

"Of course, rather a temporary teacher," I replied as I let out a small smile.

After that Mea got back up and it seems that she is not Shock anymore because of the thing that just happened.

"All right means now it's your turn, Reya Leshar"

"Kuro's instructor, this reminds me of the first time I won your hand" he said, then got up and took his fallen sword.

Now is the final battle between the teacher and the student. Reya Leshar and also myself Kurokami Rei. A Templar against a Black God Slayer.

Shit, it seems I won't last much longer ....

"Well, Reya, we'll start" I said with a smile

small-time.

"As Instructor Kuro said, let's start this real fight."
