“The match begins,” said the supervisor Nora.

  'Speed ??Boost'

  'Attack Boost'

  'Power Boost'

  Javier immediately increased his strength with various boosts. And immediately started attacking me quickly using his sword.

  “Feel this,” said Javier.

  But I immediately blocked his sword using my sword too. Our swords clashed. Javier’s sword attack felt heavy due to the 'Power Boost' he used. Even so, I was still able to hold it back. Because our swords were still clashing, Javier tried to attack me using his feet just like Emily did to Chloe earlier. The kick was aimed at my stomach but I quickly caught it with my other hand.

  “What?!?!,” said Javier in surprise.

  “What’s wrong, son of the Marquess. You said earlier that if there was an unresolved problem, resolve it seriously,” I said.

  “Don’t be arrogant, commoner,” said Javier.

  'Power Boost 2x'

  Javier increased his 'Power Boost' 2 times more than what he used before. Because I held his sword with only one hand, unlike Javier who held his sword with two hands plus an additional 2x power boost. The heavy pressure began to be felt.

  "How is it, is it starting to feel heavy?," Javier asked.

  "Hmmm I don't know. It seems the same as usual, even by holding the sword with one hand I can still hold your sword," I said.

  "F*ck," said Javier who was starting to get angry.

  'Power Boost 3x'

  Javier then increased his 'Power Boost' 3 times more. The pressure of his sword became heavier. When the pressure of the sword almost succeeded in pressing me, I immediately took a few steps back.

  *CLANNGGGGG

  Javier's sword touched the arena floor because there was nothing to hold it because I took a few steps back.

  ”Seeing you retreat like that, it’s certain that the pressure of my sword just now was very hard for you to withstand. It would be a lie if you said the pressure was still the same as before,” Javier said.

  ”Well, that was before you used 'Power Boost 3x', but at least by making you use a lot of boosts, it will make you lose a lot of mana. Besides, Boost is the same as magic because it uses mana to use it, many say that Boost is the same as Enhancement Magic.” I said.

  ”Don’t compare my mana capacity with a commoner like you, I am of noble descent, it is clear that my mana capacity is very large. Using each boost up to 5x is not a problem for me,” Javier said.

  ”I see, but what if you who have a lot of mana lose to a commoner,” I said.

  ”There’s no way that will happen, a commoner like you shouldn’t have to fantasize,” Javier said.

  'Speed ??Boost 2x'

  Javier increased his speed 2x from the previous boost. Then he quickly approached me and attacked with his sword.

  “Take this,” Javier said.

  Even though it was fast, I was still able to react to block the attack. I blocked his sword attack with my sword. But instead of successfully blocking it by clashing swords, I was pushed a few meters back after blocking his sword.

  “Hahahaha, look at that. Now you can’t block my sword anymore casually. Do I need to increase my strength again to 4x to destroy you? Hmm but it’s a shame to use 4x when 3x is enough to play around with you. I don’t even need to use my fire magic,” Javier said.

  “Even though your attack only hit my sword and didn’t hurt me, why are you laughing as if you’ve won?” I asked Javier.

  “Seeing you without any resistance is enough to prove that I will win,” Javier said.

  "I see, but what if I was just playing around with you?," I said

  "What do you mean?," Javier asked

  "Since earlier, it's not that I can't fight you, but I don't want to fight you. Since earlier, I was just testing your strength in this match. But it turns out your strength is not up to my expectations. With your strength that is only that much, defeating me without using your fire magic is impossible. No, even defeating me with your fire magic is also impossible," I said, inciting Javier.

  "F*CK YOU F*CK*NG B*TCH!!!!!" said Javier angrily.

  'Power Boost 4x'

  'Speed ??Boost 4x'

  Javier very quickly approached me and immediately attacked me with his sword.

  "D*MN YOU!!," said Javier.

  I immediately blocked Javier's sword with mine.

  *CLANNNGGGGGGGG

  Our swords clashed.

  “Whaaaaat?!?!?! ” said Javier in surprise.

  He was surprised because I managed to block his sword attack that had used 4x the power boost.

  “Are you surprised? I told you that I was just testing your strength. I haven’t been serious since earlier,” I said.

  "How can you withstand my sword attack that has been strengthened by Boost 4x without using Boost?! even though earlier when I used boost 3x, you couldn't hold it and were thrown," said Javier.

  "Hmmm I don't know, just assume that I have a different physique and strength from other humans, when you used boost 3x, I deliberately didn't hold it seriously to find out the impact of your attack, but it seems normal," I said.

  "Don't play around with me, d*mn it," said Javier.

  I then increased the pressure on my sword so that my sword would dominate this sword fight. Until finally Javier was pushed back because he lost in this sword fight.

  "F*ck," said Javier who was annoyed.

  "It seems that what he said about having a lot of mana is true, he hasn't even tired so far after using 2 boosts up to 4x," I thought.

  -

  "Even though it's just the beginning of the fight, the son of the Marquess is very enthusiastic about attacking Rid," said Noa.

  "You're right, he seemed serious about defeating Rid immediately but luckily Rid was able to block his attacks," said Charles

  If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

  "If he was serious, he should have used his fire magic from the start. Did he want to show off his sword skills?," said Noa.

  "It seems that in addition to defeating Rid, he also planned to humiliate Rid by defeating him without using magic. But it seems he can't," said Enzo who had just returned from the recovery area.

  "Enzo, have you finished being treated?," asked Charles.

  "Yes, my wounds weren't too severe so it was quick. But it was unexpected that Rid would get the last turn, especially since his opponent was Javier. Was this planned?," said Enzo.

  "Hmm I don't know, for now it seems we have to assume that this is just a coincidence," said Charles.

  "Okay," said Enzo.

  "Hey, brother. Aren't you curious about Rid's physical strength? Even though Javier has used 'Power Boost' up to 4 times, but why can Rid still hold it even without using Boost? If it was an ordinary person, he would have been thrown straight after clashing swords with Javier," said Chloe.

  "If you say that an ordinary person would be thrown away immediately after clashing swords with Javier, that means Rid is not an ordinary person. As you know, Boost is used to double our basic strength. Let's take an example if our strength is assessed based on numbers, I will assess Javier's basic strength as 90. Then Javier increases his strength with 'Power Boost' and manages to increase his strength to 180, meaning by using 'Power Boost' he managed to get an additional 90 strength, that's it. If using 'Power Boost 2x' means getting an additional 180 strength. And now Javier uses 'Power Boost 4x' means he gets an additional 360 strength and his total strength becomes 450. If Rid can hold Javier's sword that has been strengthened with 4 times the boost without being thrown away and without using the boost, that means Rid's basic strength exceeds Javier's strength after using 4 times the boost. Other boosts such as 'Magic Boost' and 'Speed ??Boost' are also like that, for example if you use 'Speed ??Boost' to against your enemy but your enemy is also as fast as you even without using a boost, that means your enemy's base speed is faster than yours," said Charles.

  "I see," said Chloe in understanding.

  "Our base strength is very important for using a boost, the higher our base strength value, the stronger we are if we use a boost. For example, Rid, if his base strength is 500 because he can withstand Javier's sword which is worth 450 strength, what if he uses a boost? Just 1 boost has increased his strength to 1000, what if he uses the boost many times over? That will definitely make Rid even stronger," said Charles.

  "Moreover, Rid's physique is not at the student level. It seems like his physique is equivalent to a soldier or even better," thought Charles in his heart.

  "I see. Is it possible that Rid is actually that great?," said Chloe

  "I'm not surprised, because from the beginning when I saw Rid, I saw that he was not an ordinary person," said Noa.

  "Well, I'm grateful if Rid becomes our friend, as the saying goes "Being with a strong person will make you strong too'," said Charles.

  "Well, that's true, even though Rid is great, he is not stingy with knowledge, he even taught us earlier," said Chloe.

  "By the way, Charles. Your explanation earlier was very similar to Rid's explanation of the previous technique," said Noa.

  "Yes, that's very true, your explanation is very similar to Rid's," said Chloe.

  "Really? Rid's previous explanation was very good, so it seems like I unconsciously imitated his method," said Charles.

  -

  “I changed my mind, I will use my fire magic to fight you. Not just fire magic, I will bring out all the techniques I have,” Javier said.

  Flame Magic, Apply Magic Weapon, Flame Sword

  ”I will really beat you this time, you better be careful not to be turned into ashes by my fire magic, arrogant b*st*rd,” Javier said.

  “You better stop, if I become ashes later you will be disqualified,” I said.

  “Shut up!,” Javier said.

  Flame Slash

  Javier launched a fire slash towards me, I immediately avoided the attack.

  Flame Slash

  Flame Slash

  Every time I avoided one flame slash, Javier launched another flame slash. He launched horizontal slashes, vertical slashes and diagonal slashes. I also avoided all the attacks.

  "Aren't you afraid of running out of mana if you attack blindly like that," I said.

  "Don't worry, I told you that I have a lot of mana. You better worry about yourself because I'll turn you into ashes soon," Javier said.

  "I told you, if I'm turned into ashes you'll be disqualified," I said

  "Shut up! Even if I'm disqualified, I can still try again next year. My priority now is to finish you off because you've toyed with and belittled me. You should be aware of who you're dealing with, I'm the son of a Marquess, how dare a commoner like you toy with me!," Javier said.

  Magic Boost 5x

  Power Boost 5x

  Speed ??Boost 5x

  Attack Boost 5x

  Javier increased all his boosts up to 5 times. After that he immediately approached me quickly.

  "Die!" Javier said.

  Flame Magic, Fiery Kick

  Javier's leg was covered in fire and immediately tried to kick me. The kick was aimed right at my face, I dodged it by lowering my head slightly. The fire kick passed my face because I dodged it. The fire kick was not an ordinary fire kick, because when he kicked something like a fire slash appeared from the kick he launched. Because I managed to dodge it, the fire slash slid towards the arena wall.

  *BOOOMMMMMMMM

  A collision occurred because the fire kick hit the wall.

  "What attack was that?,"

  "He tried to kick his opponent's face, luckily his opponent was able to dodge the attack, if he didn't dodge I don't know what would have happened,"

  "Supervisor, wasn't the attack just now very dangerous?," said the other participants.

  "It's true that from your perspective it might be a dangerous attack, but if the alarm doesn't sound, it means the attack is still safe," said supervisor Alan.

  "Maybe it was just a regular fire kick at first, but with him using a boost of up to 5 times, it's no wonder that the kick became powerful," I thought.

  "D*mn, apparently you managed to dodge it, I intended to finish you off right away in that attack," Javier said.

  "Too bad," I said.

  Suddenly Javier immediately used his fire sword and slashed me from close range. I dodged the slash, but Javier kept slashing again. I continued to dodge the slashes he launched.

  "What's wrong? Are you only good at dodging?," Javier said.

  "What about you? You keep attacking but none of your attacks hit," I said.

  "F*ck!," Javier said annoyed.

  Javier immediately launched a vertical slash at me. I immediately dodged the slash. Because I dodged, the fire sword hit the arena floor.

  *BOOMMM

  A bang occurred again due to Javier's fire sword hitting the arena floor. The arena floor immediately cracked after being hit by Javier's sword.

  "Are you actually going to compete or just destroy the arena," I said provoking Javier.

  "SHUT UP BASTARDD," said Javier who was already very annoyed.

  Flame Magic, Great Flameball

  A large fireball almost the same size as an adult human was created by Javier. Then Javier immediately directed the fireball towards me. I quickly dodged to the side to avoid the fireball and the impact it gave.

  *BOOOMMM

  A big explosion occurred because the fireball hit the arena wall.

  "This isn't over yet," said Javier.

  Flame Magic, Cluster Flame Ball

  A fireball was directed towards me again, then I dodged it again. When the fireball was already where I was before I dodged, the fireball stopped and did not continue moving until it hit the wall.

  *BOOMMM

  Then suddenly the fireball exploded. Right after the ball exploded, small fireballs appeared from inside the exploding fireball. The small balls scattered all over the arena. Then the small balls slowly began to fall to the arena floor. After that,-

  *BOOM *BOOM *BOOM *BOOM

  The small balls exploded after touching the floor. Right above me there were small balls that were about to fall to the floor, I immediately dodged and looked for a safe place from the fall of the small balls. Because of the many explosions from the small balls, the arena was covered in black smoke from the explosions. Some of the small balls almost hit the audience area but thanks to the protective magic installed in the audience area, the small balls exploded right before hitting the audience seats.

  Flame Magic, Cluster Flame Ball

  Javier launched the fireball attack again and made it explode again. Small balls reappeared in the arena after the fireball explosion. The small balls were scattered in the air and ready to fall again.

  "That person used this magic again, it seems like he really intends to finish me off. Because the arena is still filled with black smoke from the previous fireballs, it's hard to see where these fireballs will fall," I thought.

  "But...," I continued.

  The small balls started to fall again. And after that, explosions occurred throughout the arena.

  *BANG *BANG *BANG

  Some of the small balls targeted the audience area again, but again exploded right before hitting the audience area. Even though the participants knew that the audience area was covered with protective magic, they were still afraid of Javier's attacks that might hit them.

  "I'm afraid that this barrier can't protect us anymore,"

  "That nobleman is crazy, how can he launch attacks with a wide area of ??impact so casually,"

  "Luckily I didn't fight him, what would have happened if I had fought him. But I still feel sorry for his opponent, what about his fate?," said the other participants.

  "Supervisor, that person has gone too far. The attacks he launched were excessive, shouldn't this match be stopped?," said one of the participants.

  "Did you hear the alarm sound? If not, just shut up and watch. This match will continue until there is a winner," said supervisor Alan.

  "But-," said the participant again.

  "I said shut up and don't protest!" said supervisor Alan firmly.

  The participant fell silent.

  "Actually I wanted to stop this match, but if the alarm didn't sound, it would be impossible for me to stop this match suddenly. Miss would definitely scold me and besides, this match is the match that Miss wanted," thought supervisor Alan.

  "But, the alarm sensor should have sounded a long time ago. According to my observation as a supervisor, the attack launched by Javier was already a fatal attack. Why hasn't the sensor sounded?," thought supervisor Alan.

  Supervisor Alan fell silent for a moment to think, then he was suddenly shocked.

  "Is that possible? Miss has turned off the alarm sensor?!" said supervisor Alan.

  In the secret room, where the Head of the Academy was.

  "Fufufufu this match is very interesting, how could I let a sensor hinder this match. If sister were here, she would definitely be interested in watching this match. What a shame," said the Head of the San Fulgen Academy, Karina Stella.
