The Slayers
Chapter 151 (Season 4)

Currently there are no students who have reached the fifth challenge. Is that true? Johannes Satriaputra, he has talent, but look, he can't solve that math problem. He should be able to get to the finish line easily.

Then, Via Lestari was finally able to achieve the fourth challenge. He's a smart student, he should be able to solve that challenge easily. Then, those 3 new disciples were not bad either, at least they could compensate.

"Sir Arton!"

"Hmm?" My focus was distracted by the call from the tall black-haired boy. His eyes were somewhat other, blood-red like vampires. His skin was very pale, it was discovered that he was a nolep who never went out of the house.

But, he's pretty smart. When answering questions from me, he did not hesitate to write the existing formula and the answer was correct. Then, her tall body, and her body that somehow gave off a stocky impression, made me a bit confused. One more thing, look at her annoying smile. His smile was ... giving off an impression that lured people to hit him. Without the [Provoke] skill even this person would without a doubt be beaten up first. It was Alan Lexius.

"What's wrong?"

"Sir Arton, can I join you?"

The question is like a shock electric. I was confused by his words.

"You ... sure?"

"Yep!"

A young man who had the job of Poison Alchemist, who was very clever yet his face was annoying. Now, he wants to participate in the rehearsal? What do my new students think? How could he survive with such a weakened body with that nolep habit?

"...well, do whatever you want. I don't care either" I said.

It's up to him, if he wants to go with that great confidence, then I'll let him. Maybe he'll get mental.

Before he plunged into that dangerous field, he did a bit of stretching. Before long, in his hands appeared something like...

'Vials?'

Alchemists, as usual, they could not help but rely on vials. It was their trademark, and indeed in order to pass through various obstacles, they had to use their skills. But, I wonder, how Alan Lexius used his vials to get past the first hurdle.

By the way, the speed of his hands was very fast. A commoner would not be able to see the speed of his hands. He's like a professional magician. Alan then also opened the vials quickly. This boy had a mature preparation; he even learned the magician's hand tricks. But that's just not enough. I wondered what step he would take.

Suddenly, he smiled. Alan suddenly looked at me. Her smile was like .. she seemed to be able to read my mind and look at me with a defiant smile. Actually, what was he thinking?

***

Alan POV.

Mr Arton underestimated me so much, right? It is ridiculous if an Alchemist suddenly asks to enter the battlefield. But I am different. I am thirsty for blood!

With the wind vial, I started running. To be more precise, I was running through the air, like a ninja! The first challenge is not a problem for me!

Quickly passing the first challenge, I prepared a second vial. Not to be used on my body, but to be blown up.

The rubber bullets quickly came at me, but unfortunately, I had already thrown 5 explosive vials which I had filled with nowhere far from my own back. What happens if an explosive vial is filled with an excess amount of mana? Yes...

*BOOM!

Laughing like crazy, I darted because I was hit by the explosive force I caused. My back is still fine because I used an ice vial to hold it. Then, with the wind vial, my speed was increased by 2 times! Easily, I left behind a few other disciples, with great ease!

I glanced at Mr. Arton. Still with a lethargic expression, but his eyes opened wide. I enjoy that.

Then the third challenge. It's actually very easy if I use my original strength. But I'm here by the rules of limiting my powers, only to the power of the Alchemist alone. Therefore, maybe I'll have a little trouble here.

To anticipate the traps coming, all I needed to use was the ice vials and of course the wind. The wind vial here is the most useful because it helps me move faster. Whereas, this ice vial is of course .. I don't need to explain it, do I?

As soon as I set foot on the third challenge, this is where the dangerous thing begins.

The spring!

"Alex, Norga, Cindy!"

I immediately froze the traps that blocked them easily. They were very surprised by my arrival.

"Sir Alan?"

"Well, how?"

"How can you?"

"Don't just dumbass, run!!!"

I was probably too excited so I immediately left them to go to the fourth challenge. I also left the other kids, making them surprised instead of playing. Even Zoel was shocked and shouted indistinctly.

And, the fourth challenge. There were two people, Johan and Via. They are working together to solve that problem, or perhaps, more precisely if Via tries harder. The walls are to be solved by answering math questions and will be open for a minute. If it's been a minute, the wall will close again and come up with a new, annoying problem, right?

When I see what's there. This ... easy.

"Surge!" Roughly, I pushed their shoulders. Not too rough either. Then, I typed the answer that was in my mind.

*pip*

The barrier that existed instantly disappeared. I without further ado walked forward. Johan and Via followed behind.

"Alan? Why are you here?" ask Via to me.

"Just join in."

"Rubber? You wasted the chance to pass the fight class because of the gab!?"

Via was quite surprised, he looked unacceptable. I can only laugh softly.

"You ... How did you get here, Alan?" ask Johan.

"With a few tricks."

I replied as briefly as possible, I will not give them a clear answer, so as to be more impressed mysterious. Look, I have a little chunibyo soul.

Johan decided not to ask again. What sucks is, I can't read his mind. So I don't know what his reaction is. He is good at hiding his expression

In a few footsteps, we entered the fifth challenge. Three mannequins suddenly plunged down from the sky and stared at us intently. They seem to be watching us. It seems, they want to imitate our way of fighting. But, I wonder how he imitates my fighting style?

"Alan, prepare! I'll protect you!"

"These mannequins are capable of mimicking our movements with a single look, so be careful! Stay behind us!"

Via and Johan instantly prepared their fighting positions. Johan with his sword, Via with his large shield and rapier. Simultaneously, the two mannequins demonstrated the same position as Johan and Via. Really similar. Then, the other one...

"Eh?" confused Via.

Johan also scrunched his forehead and was somewhat astonished. The third mannequin suddenly showed strange horses. Like a wild animal, but strong, with a sturdy body position like a wall. I know these horses very well.

"Friends, the third mannequin is acting strangely, be prepared for every situation!" shouted Johan. He doesn't know that style is dangerous.

That was...

'Houman Style?'
