The Story of the Brave Warrior
2: The duel

...Episode 21's...

...-year 421-...

Raden..

"starting today, we are both rivals!!!"

"Eh..?"

What happened?, why did he suddenly say that we were rivals. Did I take the wrong answer???.

the question kept swirling around in my mind, to the point that I was silent for quite a while, the people who heard Alvin speech went silent as well, as if not expecting this to happen.

"hey?, are you sick, oy answered oy?!"

alvin said as he rocked my body repeatedly.

To be honest, I'm glad that Alvin became my matchmate, so that I could fight with the strong man every day, but today I'm not in the mood, I want to rest longer, I want to rest longer, plus this is my first.

"yes, I have to how else"

say me while limp.

"Hahaha don't limp so, so get excited a little bit, hahaha."

Said Alvin who encouraged me with a laugh.

"it's my first day, I want to rest a while, plus my body is already so exhausted you know."

answer me while relaxing to the table.

"hahaha I know you're a strong man, there's no way you can get tired of that simple obstacle!"

Alvin said that sok yearya.

"How do you know I'm this strong?"

I asked Alvin with confusion and unexpected surprise.

"i know this information from someone named Viktor."

answer Alvin.

I was shocked and woke up.

"Victor!!!"

I shouted in surprise.

I was surprised to hear that Alvin knew Viktor, but how he was able to quickly provide this information, whether he had come here before I came, or if there was a letter.

but clearly, Viktor told Alvin this, I think Adam asked for the same thing, knowing that Adam and Viktor are now on a mission together as a team.

I forgot what the mission was, but what I remembered was that Adam was having trouble in his hometown.

"..."

"Looks like lunch time's up, time to go back to class, and see you later, Raden."

Said Alvin who was going to leave me just like that.

After that there was a loud bell sound from outside, the people in the cafeteria immediately left this place, I had to clean the table immediately and then return the dishes to the mother of the canteen, when I finished I hurried away.

"okay, it's time to go to class."

As soon as I went to the cafeteria and headed for my class which was on the top floor of this university building. Finally I arrived and it was still not too late, and after that I sat on one of the study table benches.

"..."

Done**, there was an empty schedule the last lesson made me dizzy half to death, fortunately there is no or here, unlike when I was in school in the village. I decided to go to the library to look for information and materials that I had not known before, plus I was left behind by another child this year.

"has.."

With me sighing, today is so tiring, I guess it won't be easy to get used to.

still on the way to the library, there was a voice calling my name from behind, with an old woman's voice, I recognized this voice immediately I turned my head back.

"Rame on!!!"

Apparently she was the nizi mother who called me.

Upon learning it was nizi's mother, I rushed up to her.

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

Ask my mother nizi not knowing what she meant.

"He-em.The day I want to test you, is there any time."

Ask Nizi's mother with a serious face.

"Of course there are!, I'm sure I'm free so it doesn't matter."

answer me.

"Well then, let's follow me."

said the nizi mother who turned her back and left, I certainly followed her where she went, until I reached a place, close to the grass field, where she was, when entering I was amazed because this place was a small arena, commonly used to test students and dueling places for sure.

nizi's mother paused for a moment and faced me.

"alright Raden, you wait in the middle there, someone will come later."

Say it and then just leave.

"yes.."

Without waiting any longer, I immediately boarded the ring arena, after which waiting for the person in question, I heard a lot of noises suddenly outside.

"does it seem like it's crowded outside?"

Instantly many of the disciples here came to watch my duel by someone.

"a..what is this?!!"

I was confused because all of a sudden a lot of people came, they were all students of this school.I don't know what their purpose was, all I thought was that they wanted to watch me, come to think of it, I thought, the place I was stepping into was the ring arena.

"Don't anyone want to challenge me???"

I thought nervously and scared.

It's too sudden for me, plus the nizi mother didn't tell me at all.

"WOII!!!. RADEN SPIRIT YES!!!"

marie shouted that also came.

"are you here too??!!"

I shouted in surprise not expecting Marie to actually come.

"Marie do you know what's going on?!"

"somehow, but people say, the new kid will fight with one of the strongest disciples, so I thought it was you and came here"

"Who's challenging me??.."

Ask me in panic.

┐⁠(⁠￣⁠ヘ⁠￣⁠)⁠┌

marie's pose shows she doesn't know either.

"Alvin?!, who else would dare to challenge me other than him..."

I thought, in retrospect, earlier when you were eating in the cafeteria, Alvin said if we were rivals, maybe this is what he meant, but where he is, why hasn't he come yet, is he holding more spectators?.

"..."

slowly, I was a bit calmer, because the students here came quietly without shouting, I thought they were serious about seeing this fight.

a while later, the person I was waiting for finally came also from in front of me, behind him there were also many people following him.

"hey! We meet again, how are you ready?!"

alvin said with passion.

"so here's what you want, let's finish it."

"You can finally get excited too, okay I'm excited today too!."

"Boss, beat up that rookie"

"yes, get that stupid face"

yelled at the people behind Alvin.

boss?, Alvin was called the boss by them, is this not the reason why many people are afraid to see Alvin, apparently he's a thug

school, so it was true what I thought before.

"..."

after that there were some people who came from above, one of them was my teacher and nizi mother, they all seemed to be teachers at this university. I thought they were testing me and giving permission to Alvin to fight with me here.

raden's duel against Alvin

"all right, let's get started."

Said Alvin who had been preparing the horses ready for combat.

"wait, are we allowed to use energy?, I am less accustomed to showing my strength to the crowd?" Ask Alvin.

it doesn't matter, everyone here knows about mystical powers, can I show you?"

Replied Alvin whose kembilan he showed the energy ball he made upwards.

"so let's start now!"

"I'm ready anytime."

Back we both prepared our combat-ready horses.

GET STARTED!!

at high speed, Alvin moved to the left quickly.

At first I wanted to attack him first, but it was too late and by force, I had to defend against all the attacks he would give.

In order to withstand his attacks, I used energy manipulation, by forming a protective barrier.

I learned this technique while traveling with Marie.

Alvin bravely smashed the barier with his foot, he then launched his punch at me, I didn't bring the sword so I faced him with my bare hands.

In order to withstand his precise blow to my face, I quickly held back the blow using both of my hands, after which I attacked him with my left foot, which leads to the hand of Alvin who previously beat me earlier.

Bruack!!

The sound of the punch left the people watching dumbfounded.

I then used an energy technique in the form of a high-power energy ball, the attack was like a laser shot, the keel was pointing at him.

"Nova Beam!!!"

Alvin then dodged the attack quickly.

Wawat!!!

I remembered that around this arena there are many people, this place is also small, I have not been able to control my strength completely.

My nova beam leads to a white-haired man.

!!!

I was surprised to see him mediocre,

apparently this Arena has been protected by a strong layer that serves to hold and maintain the security of the audience.

"you're in a panic, relax, this place is protected like your barrier, it's just stronger."

"okay, knowing that I won't hold back anymore"

"Good, come on here!!!" alvin shouted with great excitement.

I went forward, using energy techniques similar to Adam's, in the form of an electrical aura that appeared around my body.

I approached Alvin, we fought empty-handed, hit each other, Alvin looked overwhelmed because he had to face an electric shock, he had to use negative energy to dissipate the effects of this attack, but he couldn't because he had to focus on facing me.

so he decided to retreat, and chose not to approach me.

I then paused for a moment, in order to focus on gathering the strengthening energy in order to give buff to my body, I intended to increase my physical speed, and prepare the Wind Cannon energy Aura in both my hands.

Alvin also stopped, he looked overwhelmed and in pain all over his body.

"You're great too, having a lot of varied styles."

Said Alvin praising me while exhausted.

"Thank you very much, you're great too."

Answer me with a smile.

"I don't know how old you are, by the way."

Ask Alvin to me.

"15, but soon I'll be 16." Anwser me.

"What!!!" Instantly everyone who was watching at once Alvin was shocked in disbelief.

"Ma-still brat??!!" alvin said with an expression of disbelief.

I then realized something, then slowly digested everything I knew. I sighed for a moment, and thought about how old the humans here were,

17-20. The number is 18.

"18..???" Ask Alvin.

Alvin nodded, and that was the answer.

it's certain that the average human student here is 18 years old, and it's probably just me and Marie who are 15, for other races like elves, vampires, dwarves, they must have lived longer.

without much ado, I restarted the attack using an electric current that led to Alvin.

Alvin managed to avoid it, then he clenched his hands that seemed to be holding something back.

I thought if he was preparing his strongest moves, I immediately approached him.

Alvin then released both hands and pointed them at me, immediately there were many shots, like big ball bullets coming out in both hands.

I dodged every attack and ran around it.

Duars!!!

apparently each shot had a very high destructive power, I had to undo my Wind Cannon stance and replace it to make a body energy protector.

Alvin looked exhausted, he seemed to have run out of energy, and so did I, if only using body strength, I would have fought longer.

But this time having to fight using both physical energy as well as mystical energy, this was very draining. So I have to finish this fight immediately or not lose due to exhaustion.

so I will use a wind canon that I think is effective enough to attack, because it uses a little energy, although the effect of the attack is not too strong, enough to push the opponent out of the arena.

I realized if Alvin raised his hand, he wanted to stop for a moment.

"hey.. Raden do you want a fight"

Alvin said with defeat.

"a straight?, you mean?" I asked him who was confused by what Alvin meant.

"You just took out a laser-like attack, I have one, too, so let's fight."

alvin replied while demonstrating his hand like I took out a Nova Beam.

"It seems interesting, if one loses, then the winner is definitely the one who survives"

Speak happily while laughing.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Reply Alvin whose election he stood.

"Well, be prepared, then."

"..."

Nova Beam

"Hahah!!!"

We both put out the ultimate style of each that looks like Nova Beam like mine.

Everyone was astonished at this rare sight, not many people could do it, due to the limited amount of energy.

Well I was with Alvin, we both got tired faster. The arena's protective barrier is also seen starting to weaken on the left right.

"quickly restore the arena protector!!!"

shouted one of the teachers who told his students.

At first I had wanted to lower the power of Nova Beam, but Alvin did not follow him, he actually strengthened his attack.

Because the situation was already very desperate, plus the amount of my energy was almost exhausted, by force and calculation, I suddenly strengthened my Nova Beam 5 times.

It made my Nova Beam penetrate his attack to the point of almost hitting it, I immediately decreased its strength to reach 6 times, weaker than before.

Even so, my Nova Beam had hit Alvin, so he was hit and bounced far out of the ring.

"i won.yeah... Bruk!!!"

I smiled happily because I could win, after which I was dizzy and my eyes blackened, after which I fell unconscious.

"..."

Someone called me.

Woi wakes woi.. Wooiiii

she is Marie.

Disrespectfully, he beat my face many times, with the aim of resuscitating me.

After being fully conscious I woke up from fainting and immediately raised my sleeping body.

"it seems to have improved him, you were so great!"

"So rarely do you praise me like that?"

I said to Marie, because of her attitude that rarely praised people.

After I said that to Marie, she immediately turned her face away.

I realized from the front there were some teachers walking up to me.

"Raden introduce my name, Mr. Samsul, I am the principal of the University of Masyitan.

you were so good, you could beat one of the strongest students in this school, I'm proud to have a new student like you."

"Yes, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Samsul."

say me. With a happy expression as well as satisfied, because it had been praised by a headmaster.

"..."

the next day, I go to the canteen for lunch, unlike yesterday, people let me get a chair, he said,

I saw the people who bullied me yesterday away from me, I think they were afraid that I would retaliate, yes if I wanted to I would scare them a little without hurting people.

BUK !

Someone patted me on the shoulder from behind, I thought that person was Marie, apparently Alvin.

"hello bro how are you, healthy?!!"

alvin said with passion, as always.

"Yes, next time don't do that, I want to rest, at least wait another 1 week to invite me to a duel."

"Hehehe sorry, what's the match tomorrow?"

"Relieve it!"

someone was watching Raden from afar.
