System: Parallel World
Chapter 21: Anastasia

After spending 7 long hours attending lessons, Riyan prepared to leave the class to go to the training center. However, before he could go anywhere, Mina approached him and said, "Hey, Riyan."

"Yes?"

"You may not know this because you're amnesiac, but we have a lesson in the Colosseum tomorrow" Mina said.

"I'm sorry? On ... what?" reiterate Riyan who doubted his hearing. He thought he heard wrong.

'They have the Colosseum in the Academy?' his inner.

"Colosseums. Right behind the training center. We go there every Tuesday to practice the sword, and there will even be instructors to guide you." Mina explained.

"I get it, I'll be there tomorrow morning."

"I didn't expect you to participate because of your injuries, but since we practice swordsmanship, you might remember a thing or two" Mina said.

Riyan nodded despite knowing well that he would not remember anything.

After leaving the academy building, he made his way to the training center and started his training with Kamila. They practiced for a few hours, still with basic techniques and increased Mana capacity.

"Did everyone in the academy practice swordsmanship?" Riyan suddenly asked Kamila towards the end of their training.

"Not everyone, but the majority of ordinary grade students do."

"So the non-magic class student is a swordsman at this school?" ask Riyan.

"Yes, that's right."

"Why are you suddenly asking this question?" ask Kamila curious.

"Well, my class should have an agenda at the Colosseum tomorrow, and the students will be practicing swordsmanship, Ms. Mina said."

"Oh, you're right, I forgot about that." Kamila suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Riyan asked her after seeing the expression of the woman.

"You might have to spar with students from another class tomorrow."

"What's? I think we're just training" said Riyan, scratching his head in astonishment.

"Yes, and sparing with other students is considered an exercise. Actually, it's very common. Although no one dared to duel with the original Riyan, but there might be some students who want to test your current level."

"And to be honest, I don't want you to be sparring with other students," Kamila said looking at Riyan seriously.

"I know I'm not strong enough, am I?"

"No, it's not that, I don't want other teachers to be suspicious of you, that's all."

"Don't worry, I don't have any intention to fight anyone until I'm strong enough" said Riyan showing his smile.

"Good."

The next morning, Riyan made it to the Colosseum, which was about a five-minute walk from the training center.

"Damn it, this place is much bigger than I thought .." murmured Riyan in surprise after arriving at the Colosseum, which is at least three times the size of a football stadium.

After spending a while admiring the building, Riyan followed the dozens of students inside.

Once inside the Colosseum, Riyan looked towards the field to look for Mina. Fortunately, it is easy to find because of its unique appearance.

Moments later, he is grouped by Mina with the rest of the students in her class.

"Are all the students here to practice? I can even see the magic class students here" said Riyan

"Yes, sword practice on the left side of the field and magic on the right side of the field. If you want to share with them, you just have to walk towards them and challenge them right away, "tell Mina about the habits of the students.

"Well .. I don't have that thought ..."

When all the students arrived, Mina said, "Take 10 minutes to warm up, then we'll start practicing."

"Good."

All the students there carried their own swords, so they immediately started warming up by swinging the swords. Only Riyan had his grasp empty.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know we needed to bring our own swords" said Riyan, raising his hand.

"Don't worry about it, I've already said that I didn't expect you to train with us today."

"I know, but I still want to practice. Is there a sword I can borrow?"

Mina pointed at the weapon rack in the distance and said, "You can use one of those weapons."

"I'll be right back."

Riyan ran to the weapon rack and started looking at the sword there.

All swords were differentiated by weight, so it wasn't long before Riyan found what he was looking for, a 15kg sword.

In fact, 15 kg is the lightest sword on the shelf.

After spending the entire weekend with Kamila, the strength of his arm increased to the point where he could swing a sword at that weight without any magic artifacts.

Now that he also has a sword, Riyan then starts warming up like other students by swinging his sword.

"Why did Riyan brandish such a light sword." His classmates muttered to each other.

After all, even though Riyan had lost his memory, amnesia had nothing to do with one's strength.

"It must have been caused by his injuries."

"His injuries should have been very serious about losing so much power, yet he still came to class as usual. How wonderful."

"We can only guess now because even he doesn't know."

Ten minutes passed.

"Now that everyone is warming up, it's time to practice."

Mina retrieved a box from the storage room like Kamila milk, while the students lined up in front of her.

The students went on to put their hands into the box and pulled out a piece of paper that had a number written there.

"Students who get the same number will be sparing each other. You want to challenge someone, you can do it after the first fight" Mina told them.

And for the next two hours, the students from Riyan's class would be facing each other in the open field.

Of course, the other classes did the same but in different locations on that field

"What are you thinking? Do you remember anything?" Mina approached Riyan.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember anything." Riyan could only shake.

"I understand .. You will still have plenty of time to remember. Just relax.'

"I wouldn't call this place safe ..." Riyan showed a bitter smile.

"I don't think I can refute it, but believe me, it's better than out of town, where Vampires and monsters roam freely" Mina said as if to scare Riyan.

"Huh? A monster? I know about Vampires, but there are monsters too?" This was the first time Riyan had heard of the existence of monsters.

"of course. Vampires were actually quite rare compared to monsters, but were also much stronger than monsters, mostly due to their intelligence and knowledge."

"That's it, huh? ..." Riyan subconsciously glanced at Lila, who was flying around the field and watching the students who were practicing.

Once all the students fought at least once, Mina said to them, "You can now challenge the other classes if you want."

After gaining approval, most students in the class immediately seek out opponents from other classes.

However, they only dared to approach ordinary students.

Riyan stayed with Mina and looked at her from a distance. However, he quickly became bored just standing still and becoming a spectator, so he started practicing on his own again.

When the students from the other classes saw Riyan practicing by himself, some of them approached him.

"Hey, Riyan, let's fight, let's fight" said a large-bodied student higher than Riyan.

"I'm sorry, but I'm in no condition to be able to share with others." Riyan immediately rejected the challenge.

"Huh, are you scared? You are the one I hope to accept my challenge!" The student looked at Riyan in surprise.

Riyan stopped swinging his sword and glanced at the student.

"If you want to fight, I will fight you, even everything you want after I deal with Thaya. Whatis yourname? If you don't come looking for me, I'll come looking for you" Riyan said with a flat look.

The student suddenly felt trepidation after hearing Riyan's words.

"I-I'll be back after your challenge with Thaya ..." The student quickly turned around and walked away from Riyan.

A few more students from the other classes approached Riyan to ask him for a sparing, but all of them were rejected outright

"Riyan has really changed. Not even daring to fight with ordinary students——he turned into a coward."

Magic class students on the other side of the Colosseum had been paying attention to Riyan from the start, as they hoped to see him fight. But that feels impossible.

A while later, someone there shouted while pointing at someone."L-look over there!"

"What's? What the hell is he doing here? He had never appeared during training before?!"

The magic class student saw the red-haired student approaching Riyan.

"Riyan!" The red-haired girl shouted her name as soon as she got close enough to Riyan.

"Yes?" Riyan quickly turned his head to see a beautiful young girl walking towards him with an angry expression.

'Who is this girl?' Ryan wondered in his heart.

"Sorry, but if you want to share with me, I have to refuse" said Riyan.

However, the girl ignored those words and pointed her sword at Riyan just like that.

"You promised that you would fight me! However, you died before our fight! I've waited three months for this moment!" he said with sharp eyes.

"I'm sorry, but I don't even remember who you are. If you want to fight me, I don't mind, but there are lines of people waiting to fight me. Please wait for your turn," refused Riyan subtly while slightly bowing. He was going to leave the girl.

"Fight with me!" the girl moved her sword. Ryan stopped moving.

However, the redhead stopped his movement right before the sword touched Riyan's neck.

The two of them looked at each other for a long time.

"Allah ... So that's how you play, huh?" The girl drew back her sword and sighed.

And without explanation, he turned around and walked away from Riyan.

'What the fuck? I can't even see his movements!' inner Riyan was a little horrified by the girl.

The only reason why Riyan did not try to avoid his sword was simply because he could not react to the redhead's movements.

As soon as the red-haired student left, Riyan asked Mina, "Who is she?"

"She is the younger sister of Crimson Magia. Name's Anastasia. He has a habit of challenging strong people" said Mina, who looked at the red-haired girl in the distance.

"Crimson Magia?" Riyan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes, he has the highest magic affinity for fire in this entire academy, and he is also one of the strongest students."

"It could be said, Anastasia was not as talented as her brother, which was why she kept challenging strong people as a way to prove her strength to others. Just ignore it, Riyan, he'll stop bothering you if he's bored."

"I hope he gets bored. But, why did he suddenly leave just like that? I haven't done anything."
