'Tch this is turning out exactly as Edward said…' Ellie was under heavy attacks from her enemy. It was a girl with orange hair who seemed to be proficient at using fire magic. Ellie was able to dodge her attacks thanks to her physical abilities and kinetic vision, allowing her to read the attacks that are coming her way. However, this turned out to be a battle of attritions and whoever gets tired first would lose.
The girl from C class noticed the same thing and switched her strategy. She was using fire arrows mainly but now decided to switch to the fireball that explodes and create an AOE effect. This caused Ellie's dodging to lose some of its effects and was now getting caught by some of the fire blasts, if not for her strong physique she would have been burned heavily by now.
'This can't go on like this' Ellie knew she would be the one to get tired first if this continues. The opponent seemed to have a decent amount of QI and could use different fire abilities. Ellie decided to follow some of Ed's pointers and started running towards the trees and using them as a cover. This gave her some leeway while dodging the fireballs while executing her next step.
Ellie was secretly charging QI in her fists while moving fast around her opponent. It didn't take her long to reach the amount she needed and suddenly stopped as if she was tired. Her opponent noticed this but still didn't move close to her; rather she just charged an extra big fireball and sent it flying at Ellie. The latter used this chance to jump to the side and sprint at full power while the fireball detonated behind her.
"So you were acting after all!" The girl's caution saved her, but not for long. "You can run back but it won't help you. You're not my target after all; I just need to be close enough!" Ellie was about five meters away from her opponent and smashed the ground with her QI infused fists. A cracking line kept forming ahead of Ellie and almost got her opponent to fall, but the latter seemed to use her entire strength to jump up and dodge it.
"That's right, only the sky is left now!" Ellie jumped after her as she predicted her actions. She hit her stomach with another QI infused fist causing her opponent to faint immediately. She made sure to hold back enough just to make her lose consciousness and not fatally injure her.
"Phew, I'm done here! I wonder how the rest are doing" Ellie wiped the sweat off her face and moved forward to continue her search of the flag. Her opponent wouldn't be waking up any time soon.
In another location, Ed and Leon were now in a heated fight inside the forest. "Hahahhaha! I knew you were not a pushover" Leon seemed excited while fighting Ed. The same could be said for Ed as it's been a while since his last good spar with someone.
"The same could be said for you!" Ed and Leon were exchanging sword blows at a stunning speed. Although Ed was not using all his strength, Leon could still hold his own even while using one sword. Many trees surrounding them have already been cut down which made them move while fighting to secure stable footing.
Ed was only swinging his sword without using any of his abilities; however, he noticed that the fight would take too long in this case and activated his Seikūken. This gave him a boost in his fighting power, so much that Leon started feeling the pressure coming out of Ed.
"Seems like you're getting serious…Allow me to do the same!" Leon seemed as if he grew in size after he spoke and Ed could feel his QI getting larger. 'Is this a cultivation technique' Ed backed away for a bit and checked out Leon's situation.
"This is out Herculean strength technique from our sect, it allows me to raise my QI and physical abilities for a limited amount of time" Leon started explaining his technique out of nowhere.
"Why are you telling me this?" Ed couldn't help but ask him.
"I just felt like it!" Leon's character was way too easygoing. "If you survive long enough for this technique to end you might beat me"
"Too bad, I plan on beating you now!" The two suddenly engaged in a heated battle once more. Every time their blades crossed a shockwave would spread for a few hundreds of meters. If Ed had not practiced his KI control for so long he probably would have been thrown away many times already.
"Hahahahha! Let's fight some more Ed!" Leon seemed excited beyond belief and even forgot that this was a mock-battle, and focused solely on beating Ed.
Ed was also extremely focused and even activated his Ryūsui Seikūken. This allowed to completely read Leon's movements as long as they had eye contact. Leon didn't know how Ed could read him so well that he got flustered at one point and slashed blindly. Ed capitalized on this chance and used Space magic's short teleport.
"Sorry, I'm being a little cheap right now!" Ed teleported behind Leon and before the other one could react; Ed had already executed his move.
"Fire blade cyclone!" Ed's two swords were covered with their respective magic type and pointed his swords up while rotating at a high speed. A huge cyclone was created and enveloped Leon's body. This cyclone had a combination of fire and wind magic which caused it to cut and burn at the same time.
Ed didn't want to badly injure Leon so he held back enough. After the attack was done Leon's body simply hit the ground and he laid there.
"What a powerful technique…Teach me some other time alright" Leon didn't seem to be annoyed at his lost and even seemed to respect Ed enough to ask for his teachings.
"By the way, my country is known for its delicious food. Make sure to visit someday and I'll have some people show you around if I'm not available" Leon invited Ed to visit his country after fighting him. Ed could only smile wryly at his free spirit.
"Sure you can choose the time" Ed accepted and sat down as well, he had used a couple of his skills and got a little tired.
Hello everyone! Been a while since the last time I wrote a lot of battle scenes, right? Well I hope I did a good job for you to enjoy^^.
In case of a mistake please point it out in the comments.
After recovering some of his KI, Ed made his way to the flag. Along the way, he met up with Ellie who looked a bit injured albeit nothing too serious.
"It looks like you won your fight as well" Ellie didn't look surprised at all. It seems like she could guess how strong Ed really is after his fight with Norris.
"It looks like it was the same for you. I guess it was an easy fight" Ed wanted to humor Ellie a little and praised her.
"Of course it was!" Ed couldn't help but smile at her response. The both of them continued their way to reach the flag. A little while later they spotted it with a man standing next to it.
"There might be someone else standing watch near the flag so one of us should attack while the other waits. In case no one appears we can both advance" Ed laid out another plan that seemed logical.
Although Emilia not being here could mean she was fighting someone, Ed didn't dismiss the fact that she just couldn't find the flag. Another theory was that no one made their way to their flag.
"I'll be going first and you could follow me afterward" Ed decided that he would move first since he was not injured at all and could use some ranged attacks.
"Alright, but I'll be going for the flag even if you were losing" Ellie accepted while smashing her fists together indicating her fighting spirit.
Ed moved first and rushed at his opponent from his blind spot. He wasn't increasing his speed by his movement skill but only using the stealth effect. However before he could reach the flag, his opponent reacted and drew his sword while turning towards Ed. The two of them engaged in a close ranged battle since the man seemed to lose the advantage he had after being ambushed
On Ed's team' side, Hayato was now engaged in a ranged fight with a girl from C class. It was the last missing person from their team. Although Hayato was injured, he had Stephanie's support which acted as his shield and thanks to his overall abilities, he was more than enough to stall the opponent. However, that was all he could do, stall. If this was to continue for a while he would definitely lose.
His fight lasted for a while before he started losing his QI and breath. Stephanie was about to eat through her QI reserve after using magic for so long.
"It seems it's time to end this" The girl seemed to sense them weakening and decided move closer and finish them off. Hayato saw this and braced himself; he would protect the flag at all costs. He believed Ed would win in case he reached the flag so he would buy as much time as possible.
However before the girl could get to them, someone rushed in from the forest and attacked her. It was Emilia who was missing up till now.
"It seems like it was the right decision to get back!" Emilia brought out a rapier and started fighting the girl. The latter also used her sword and the two of them started fighting. Emilia seemed highly skilled in swordsmanship as her thrusts were sharp and fast. The girl used her all in order to follow the attack patterns.
After fighting for a while, Emilia started using magic as well and burned the right hand of her opponent. This caused her to lose her grip on the sword and eventually give up. At first, she wanted to engage in a ranged magic fight, but she had used a lot of magic while fighting Hayato and Stephanie while her opponent seemed unharmed. This meant that Emilia did not fight at all and was in top shape.
"You okay Hayato? Stephanie?" Emilia turned back to check up on her teammates.
"I'm good"
"I'm alright thanks!" Hayato replied naturally while Stephanie seemed as nervous as always.
Back at Ed's place, he was now overwhelming his opponent with his sword skills alone. His opponent could use earth as well as wind magic but that meant nothing for Ed. He was now proficient enough to dodge and slash with no time in between. His eyesight had also improved enough to have an overview of the battlefield. The reason Ed didn't finish his opponent off was to draw out his enemy in case one was hiding.
However, after not appearing for so long, Ed simply decided to end the fight now. "Ellie!" He called out to his teammate while using fire magic to surround his enemy. There was no reason to finish him off since getting the flag means the game's end.
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Ellie rushed out and grabbed the flag in less than 2 seconds after Ed's shout. As soon as they got the flag a siren sounded off to mark the end of the mack-battle.
Ed stopped his magic and his opponent got out with a wry smile on his face. "If you're this strong why bother hide your strength and go to E class" He couldn't help but ask Ed this question.
"It's simply more fun this way, don't you think?" Ed only told him this before making his way back to the rest of his team. Along the way, he met up with Leon and gave him some of the pills he had concocted. He didn't give him the potions but this was still enough to heal most of his minor injuries. They also met up with the girl that fought Ellie and Leon put her on his back. Soon enough they were at Ed's team's area and Leon took back his two teammates while heading off back to C class.
"Are you okay Hayato?" Ed noticed that Hayato had been injured while Emilia and Stephanie looked fine.
"I'm alright. I just let my guard down. Good job making us win." Hayato was scratching his face while smiling.
"It was a team effort! Take these" Ed also gave Hayato some pills which were a bit stronger than the ones he gave Leon. Hayato instantly felt better and thanked Ed.
The team returned back to the monitor room and the rest of the class was overjoyed.
"Great job out there!" "Good job winning" "Not everyone from our class lost!" Most of the class was glad that Ed's team won. However, some proud nobles didn't admit that Ed's team was better than them.
"Yes yes, good job. Now let us talk about your rewards" Harry intervened in time to stop the class's noise and started talking about the rewards he had mentioned before.
Hello everyone! Ed's team won! I guess it wasn't a surprise hehehehe! I hope you enjoy the chapter and leave a comment if you notice a mistake.
