Chapter 11: Sparring
Night came, and the group made camp, while the three Elders were setting up a formation to keep low leveled Magical Beasts away from their camp, Elise and Ragna were about to spar. All the other disciples looked curiously at the two. To most of them the spar was a joke, there was no way for the daughter of the city lord, to win against Ragna.
Elise took a stance with her sword, while Ragna simply did a Ram hand seal. Out of nowhere another Ragna appeared, everyone was shocked.
"Did he just summon a clone?"
"Can Transcending Mortality realm experts make clones?"
"I haven't heard of such a thing."
While everyone was having a discussion of what Ragna just did, The three geniuses knew that this wasn't something that all Transcending Mortality realm experts can do. 'This must be a secret technique from his own clan.' The three geniuses thought of the same thing. Elise on the other hand was super excited.
"That's amazing Big brother."
"Just come already." Ragna signaled her to attack already. Elise's facial expression turned serious as she attacked.
The original Ragna just stood in his spot looking a bit bored, while the clone Ragna blocked Elise's way. Elise attacked the clone, with a downward slash, the clone blocked with blo*dedge. Elise and the clone started exchanging blows.
When the crowd saw this scene they were in awe of Elise's skill, but what shocked them was Ragna's skill with the sword. This was the first time they saw Ragna use his blade, they could only assume that the clone Ragna was a weaker version of himself, because base on what they know about Ragna he wouldn't even be bothered to block Elise.
Still the swordsmanship that Ragna was using was very fierce, it emphasized his speed and strength. Elise swordsmanship on the other hand was elegant, she was redirecting all of Ragna's attacks elsewhere, the way she moved was like she was having a magnificent dance with Ragna as her partner.
After several exchanges, Elise finally gained the upper hand, she could now easily divert all of the clone's attacks, and was now able to counter. Ragna's clone got even fiercer in his attacks, it had discarded any form of defense and attacked. Elise was surprised for awhile, but then controlled the situation once more. The attacks might have increased in speed and power, but the move sets were monotonous. Elise felt like the clone was moving without understanding, the clone knew the moves but didn't understand them. 'I wonder if Big brother, is the same as his clone?... No it can't be, the clone must be an imperfect technique that's why it couldn't display Big brother's real skills.'
Little did Elise know her conjecture was correct, Ragna did indeed know how to do the moves because of the system, but he didn't truly understand them, because unlike the Ragna in the game, he never trained using this moves, it was just given to him.
Elise pierced her sword at the clone's chest making it disappear. She smiled joyfully at Ragna looking like she wanted to be praised, but Ragna just signaled her to come and attack. Elise was somewhat disappointed, but she still attacked without hesitation.
"Cold Bolt" A chunk of ice fell from the heavens and was about to strike Elise, she was shocked but was still able to slice the ice, but once her view cleared, Ragna was already in front of her, and was pointing the tip of his blade at her neck.
'Ding" "Congratulations host for earning 50 O.P points"
'That was a small amount, didn't I look O.P enough?' Ragna thought before lowering his weapon, once he lowered his weapon Elise went forward and hugged one of his arms.
"That was amazing Big brother! Can you teach me how to make a clone of myself? If I can make a clone I can eat as much sweets as I want."
"I told you already I'm not into babysitting, so don't bother me I'm going to rest..." Ragna then looked at Freya, Leyling, and Baiyi.
"Unless there are still some who want to spar with me." Once they heard what Ragna said, the bunch of people who were watching, went quiet and had their heads down, only the three geniuses looked at Ragna head on. Baiyi just clicked his tongue and went away, Leylin looked at Ragna and calmly shook his head. Freya on the other hand had a complicated expression on her face, she then clenched her fist, and went forward.
"I'm willing to challenge you Ragna." Freya stood proud, everyone started getting excited.
"Sure then come at me anytime." 'This time I'm going to end it quickly, to show how O.P I am.
Freya charged forth and slashed downwards Ragna didn't evade but simply caught Freya's sword. There was no need for technique or the like. Ragna was in the Foundation Establishment realm, while Freya was in the Spirit Building realm. They were one realm apart, there was nothing Freya could do. Seeing how easily her blade was caught Freya immediately tried to pull her sword out of Ragna's hands but it was to no avail.
"Are we done here."
When they heard Ragna's voice everyone got back their senses, and were in total awe of Ragna's skills.
'Ding' "Congratulations host for earning 300 O.P points." 'Still too little' With that thought Ragna exited the scene Elise trailing behind him.
Everyone was eagerly discussing the recent spar with enthusiasm. Freya on the other hand stood their dumbfounded, her pride in shatters. She already knew the huge difference between them, but now that he fought him, she fully understood the difference of power. Not only that she wasn't even able to make Ragna use any of his techniques, unlike Elise who he fought before her. She wasn't even worth a use of one his techniques...
