A few days later, the holiday arrived.
This Saturday I have no joint activities with the others. Usually if there is no activity with others, I decided to read books in the library. But this time I wanted to see the training ground in the middle building, because it was a place I had never been to in this academy. Not only the training ground, the third floor and above in the middle building I have never visited once.
Then I arrived at the 1st floor of the central building which was the cafeteria, then took the stairs to the 2nd floor which was the treatment room for students who were injured or ran out of mana during the match. I've been to this floor though rarely, which is when Irene escorts the injured after fighting Amelia's daughter and when delivering my classmates there is running out of mana after doing the first exam. You could say, the treatment on this floor is the best in this academy. The injured disciple and the mana depleted could recover in just a few minutes. Even though I never felt any immediate treatment on this floor because I rarely get hurt in daily matches and if for example I get hurt, I can heal myself.
Then I went up to the 3rd floor of the middle building, on that floor there was a very wide training arena, wider than the first year training ground. Maybe because the size of the middle building is wider also from the first year building so that the training place was spacious. Moreover, this training ground was a joint training ground between all the disciples from the first to fourth year.
"So this is the joint training ground. Many of them practice here. And it looks like it's a special magic training ground with a magic wand or no weapon" I said.
There was no one I knew who was training on this floor so it seemed like I would continue to look up.
And I arrived on the 4th floor. Judging from those practicing on this floor, it seemed like this was a special training ground for ordinary Martial Arts or Magic Martial Arts.
"Hmmm that's it.......Noa and Lillian. So the two of them always practice together during this holiday," I said.
I saw Noa who was training to fight with Lillian with just a punch and a kick. I watched them long enough for Noa to come to her senses and look at me. Noa is seen calling Lillian and pointing at me, and Lillian is also looking at me. They both waved their hands when they saw me. Then I also returned the wave of their hands. Then I went back to look at the next floor and gave the index finger code up to Noa which meant I wanted to go upstairs. And Noa replied with a thumb gesture which means okay. But either he understands the true meaning of the code I'm showing or he doesn't.
Then I reached the 5th floor, this floor was a special training ground for melee weapons such as swords, rapiers, great swords and spears. Although the spear could be categorized as a medium-range weapon.
"At this training ground there are more students training than at the Martial Arts training ground. Yes, although not as much as at the magic training ground," I said.
I also looked at the students who came to this training ground. I was looking for students I might know until I finally found them.
"Kotaro yes, so he also likes training in this place. Well that's better than going on holiday doing nothing" I said.
Kotaro focused on training until he was unaware of his surroundings and I went on to go to the next floor.
And I arrived on the 6th floor, this floor is a special training ground for long-range weapons such as bow arrows or shotguns. When I looked at the training ground, I saw that there was one person who was striking among the other students. Yes, it was because the weapons he was wearing were different. He was the only one who wore a rifle in this training ground, while the others wore bow arrows. He was firing a number of wooden puppets from a considerable distance with his rifle. He shot a wooden doll that was in the middle of another wooden doll. And after the wooden doll was shot, the wooden doll immediately exploded and the explosion hit the wooden dolls around it.
"The shot that could explode yes, it was the same as when he smashed the head of the dragon belonging to senior Vyn," I said.
Whether he realized that he was being seen or just by chance, after shooting the wooden puppet, senior Nadine looked at me. After that, he came straight to me.
"Jiang, Bridg. Tumben once you come here, it seems like it's the first time I've seen you here" said senior Nadine.
"Here too, senior. You're right, this is the first time I've come here. I'm just looking around" I said.
"That's it" said Nadine.
"Compared to other training places, in this training place not many who practice yes?," I asked.
"Yes that's because the users of long-range weapons in this academy are very few compared to other weapon users. So it's only natural that this training ground is a little quiet. But there are also other weapons users who come to this place to practice using long-range weapons" said Nadine senior.
"That's it," I said.
"Are you interested in using a long-range weapon, Rid?," asked senior Nadine.
"I've tried it before I got into the academy, but I don't seem to be suitable for long-range weapons" I said.
"so yeah. By the way, did you come to this place just to have a look?," asked senior Nadine.
"Yes, what is senior?" I asked.
"How about we do a match exercise?" asked Nadine.
"Against you ? in this place?," I asked back.
"Yes" said Nadine.
"Right, I forgot about that. It seems I was too eager to challenge you to the point of forgetting that. Then next time" said Nadine.
"Why do you want to practice a match with me, senior?" I asked.
"I'm just wondering how strong you would be if I fought you head-on. Moreover, you can beat Amelia's daughter in the match" said senior Nadine.
"Have you ever fought princess Amelia before?" I asked.
"Ever, but only 2 times. My first match with him was in a daily match and the second one was in an academy tournament a few months ago" said Nadine.
"Then who won between you and Amelia's daughter, senior?" I asked.
"I won both games" said Nadine.
"Areally?," I said in surprise.
"I didn't think that senior Nadine could beat Princess Amelia when Amelia's daughter was strong and again she defeated princess Amelia twice ? Did he defeat her with just that rifle ? But this makes sense because Amelia's daughter stopped to bother Irene when Nadine's senior came, and it looks like Amelia's daughter is scared of Nadine's senior for beating her twice" I thought.
"Yes. And because we both managed to beat princess Amelia, that's what makes me wonder who will win if we both compete" said senior Nadine.
"Then, why don't you challenge me in daily matches instead of challenging for match practice?" I asked.
"I don't want to be rash, because there's a chance that I could lose against you. If I lose, I'll lose 400 points" said senior Nadine.
"Yes, you have a point. But I didn't expect that you could defeat Amelia's daughter. Does that mean you are the strongest female student in the second year?" I said.
"Yes take it for granted, but compared to other forces, I am still weak compared to Miss Gretta and Miss Alisha" said Nadine.
"Alisha?," I asked confused.
"It looks like you've never met him. Alisha Lesher, she is the treasurer in Elevrad at the moment. She is the strongest female student in the academy, Miss Gretta alone has never defeated her. That's the guy with the bow" said senior Nadine, pointing at someone at the training ground.
The person appointed by senior Nadine was pulling her bow and far in front of her sight was a myriad of wooden puppets. If I count maybe 20 to 30 dolls.
"So the strongest female student in the academy is a bow user yes, I don't suspect it" I said.
"Look out what Miss Alisha is going to do" said senior Nadine.
Miss Alisha also released an arrow from her bow. At first all he released was just one arrow, but suddenly the arrows increased in number and each of them smashed into each wooden puppet until it was crushed. All the wooden puppets were destroyed unceremoniously. I was a little surprised when I saw that.
"He can shoot a lot of arrows with just 1 arrow?" I asked.
"Right, and not just that. Every one of his arrows had an incredible destructive power. You know that Miss Gretta has the power to make a Clone?" asked Senior Nadine.
"Yes, I saw it when I was fighting senior Vyn" I said.
"1 arrow belonging to Miss Alisha was able to destroy 1 clone belonging to Miss Gretta until it was destroyed unnoticed" said senior Nadine.
Meanwhile.
After destroying all the wooden puppets, Miss Alisha looked towards Rid and the chatting senior Nadine.
"Hmmmm ? I felt like I was being talked about by the two of them" said Miss Alisha.
