Chapter 23 : End of a Match

  Javier was thrown after I stabbed him with my previous attack, he hit the wall of the arena.

  *BOOMM

  A thud was heard as Javier hit the wall. Javier's body stuck to the wall of the arena.

  "How is that possible?,"

  "Javier was thrown because of that attack," said another participant.

  The other participants just watched him silently. Supervisor Alan and the other supervisors who were already preparing to strengthen their barriers were silent.

  "It seems like your armor is not stronger than Dragon skin, even that attack could penetrate it. Well, even though I've never met and fought a real Dragon, so I don't know if the attack just now could really penetrate Dragon skin," I said.

  Javier was still stuck to the wall of the arena. The fire armor he was wearing still covered him, but in the middle of the chest of the armor there was a hole due to Rid's attack. The hole in his armor gave the armor a crack until the crack got bigger and finally the armor disappeared.

  "Luckily this academy sword isn't too sharp, if this was a real sword, your chest would have been full of holes from the attack just now," I said.

  Javier's body slowly came off the wall and finally fell to the floor.

  "Finally I can repay you for what you did in the canteen earlier, how does it feel to lose to a commoner without even using magic when you use your full power?," I said again.

  Javier was unconscious because of the attack.

  "But yeah, it seems like you can't hear what I said," I said.

  Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the arena was very quiet. They were all shocked by what happened.

  "That nobleman ..... He's unconscious,"

  "Has that nobleman lost?," said another participant in surprise.

  The other supervisors just watched him silently. Supervisor Alan who was previously silent immediately came to his senses and knew what to do next. Supervisor Alan then turned to Supervisor Nora. He nodded to Supervisor Nora as a sign to finish the match. Supervisor Nora nodded too.

  "The winner for the test match between Rid Archie and Javier Buston is .......... Rid Archie," said Supervisor Nora.

  ”He won,”

  “Even though this match should have been stopped a long time ago because Javier broke the rules by using a fatal attack, but he still won,”

  “He didn’t even seem to use any magic and he defeated Javier with 1 attack, isn’t that amazing?,”

  “He’s amazing even though he’s just a commoner,”

  “But doesn’t that mean he’s very strong? he could even defeat Javier in that condition, I feel a little scared of him,”

  “Who cares about that. Compared to him, Javier is more dangerous and scary, especially about the rumors before and if you look at this match it seems like the bad rumors about him are true. Besides, Prince Charles and Princess Chloe have been close to him since earlier, so he’s definitely not a dangerous person,”

  “That’s right, no need to worry,”

  “Congratulations, Rid,”

  “You’re amazing, Rid,”

  “Congratulations on defeating that nobleman, Rid,” said another participant.

  The other participants watching in the arena cheered and waved at me, I waved back at him. But not everyone cheered and waved at me. Those who waved at me were mostly ordinary people, although there were a few nobles. But there were also those who were jealous and envious of me and most of them were nobles

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  "Even though he's just a commoner, how could he get treated like that,"

  "That Javier must have been careless, how could he lose to a commoner," said the envious participant.

  Even though I could hear what they were saying, I chose to remain silent.

  -

  Meanwhile, at Charles and the others' place.

  "Rid, he's really strong. It seems like it was a waste of me worrying about him," said Charles.

  "I told you to relax, you guys are overreacting," said Noa.

  "I didn't expect Rid to be so strong, I'm a little scared," said Enzo.

  "What are you talking about? Even though Rid is strong and I just met him, Rid is still Rid," said Chloe.

  Then Chloe stood up and shouted.

  "Riddd, congratulations," shouted Chloe while waving her hand.

  I turned to Chloe and waved too.

  Chloe's voice made the other participants excited, the other participants immediately looked towards Chloe. Chloe realized that her voice had attracted the attention of the other participants.

  "Eh, ah," said Chloe who suddenly became nervous.

  "Hahahaha," I laughed seeing her behavior.

  Then I saw Charles and Enzo who gave me a thumbs up gesture, I returned it. Then suddenly Noa shouted.

  "Teacher Rid, you are very great, you really deserve to be our teacher," shouted Noa.

  "I told you, stop calling me teacher," I said.

  "Teacher Rid, Teacher Rid, Teacher Rid," shouted Noa who was still calling me teacher.

  "Teacher?,"

  "Teacher Rid!," the other participants who heard that were confused.

  "It seems like you did it on purpose, Noa. Watch out," I thought.

  Then suddenly the supervisor Nora continued her speech.

  "For participant Javier Buston because he lost, he will get 50 points. For participant Rid Archie, the supervisor will count the number of points obtained by participant Rid so please wait for the results in the arena for a moment. For the supervisor who is in charge of being a healer, please bring and heal participant Javier Buston first." said supervisor Nora.

  The supervisor who was in charge of being a healer went down to the arena and brought Javier to be healed.

  "Wait a minute, let me judge it myself," said supervisor Alan.

  "Ehh but leader-," said supervisor Nora.

  "Earlier we as supervisors were busy holding back participant Javier's attacks, so we couldn't focus on observing the match and judging them both. This time, let me judge it myself," said supervisor Alan.

  Supervisor Alan went down to the arena and approached me.

  “Rid Archie, congratulations on winning this match,” said supervisor Alan.

  “Thank you very much, sir,” I said.

  “Allow me to examine your body up close,” said supervisor Alan.

  “Please,” I said.

  Supervisor Alan stood still while looking at my body condition, then he circled me while looking at my condition.

  “What did the supervisor do?,”

  “Earlier he said he would assess the condition directly, but is that really how it works?,”

  “The previous participant was only observed from afar and immediately got his points,” said another participant.

  After a while, supervisor Alan fell silent and then spoke.

  “For participant Rid Archie, because I as the supervisor leader did not find any injuries suffered by the participant and there was no fatigue due to excessive mana use, participant Rid Archie gets 200 points,” said supervisor Alan.

  “200 Points? Perfect points again?,”

  ”He didn’t use any magic and didn’t even get hurt at all, amazing,”

  ”Then, during this third match only two people got perfect points. They were him and the ice princess,”

  ”They were both the best participants in this third test,”

  ”If the two of them fought, who would win?”

  ”I’m curious too, the match would definitely be exciting,”

  -

  Meanwhile, at princess Irene’s place.

  ”I didn’t expect him to win, even though his opponent had violated the rules of this test by using excessive magic,” said Leandra.

  ”That’s right Lea, he didn’t even use any magic and amazingly he didn’t get hurt at all. I want to fight him,” said Lily

  ”That’s enough, Lily. By the way, Miss, what do you think about him in this match?” said Leandra.

  ”He really exceeded my expectations. It seems like my feeling about him wasn’t wrong. He’s the right person to cancel the 'Matchmaking Battle',” said princess Irene.

  ” "Does Miss really want to cancel the matchmaking?," Leandra asked.

  "Yes, my decision is final. I want to cancel this matchmaking, I feel something is wrong with this matchmaking," said Princess Irene.

  -

  Meanwhile, at the head of the Academy.

  "As I expected, the Rid participant was able to defeat Javier easily. 'Enhance Weapon' huh? A technique to strengthen the weapon used. This technique is not magic. This technique is usually used by people who are experts in weapons, those who really focus on the weapons they use. I didn't expect, a participant like him could use that technique. Is he more dominant in using weapons than using magic?," thought Miss Karina.

  "Indeed I am interested in him but I can't let the fact that he was able to defeat Javier with one attack and without getting hurt either. There is a possibility that he is a test subject like Javier too," thought Miss Karina.

  Suddenly, a crystal ball near Miss Karina glowed. It is an artifact to communicate with others, it can be used to communicate with people who are very far away. If the ball is glowing, it means there is a call for communication from another party. Miss Karina held the crystal ball and spoke.

  "Hello, this is Karina," said Miss Karina.

  "Karina, it's me," said someone from the crystal ball.

  Miss Karina was silent for a moment then immediately replied to the person's words.

  "What do you need? Your Majesty the Queen," said Miss Karina.
