Chapter 301: Chapter 293 - Itsuki's First Match.
The match on the field B had started getting heated up as the contestants had both slowly gotten into their first battle on the field. While on field A, the match is almost reaching the conclusion as the power gap is still quite huge despite with the magic limiters, now it's just the lady from Blair's team 'playing' with her opponent just to drag the match a bit longer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting area.
"Ah... The power gap between the previous and current round is so huge, I remember the previous match is an even match on field A..." said Sky.
"Mhmm... I guess just putting all the strong members in the first few positions is having some serious flaws as well, but I have a feeling that Blair purposely keeps this lady until now." said Chris.
"Ah... Sounds possible, he is quite a scheming person sometimes... Hmm? Hey! Look at that opponent of Itsuki. Don't you think he kind of became bigger and taller than before?" Sky asked.
"Yes, I noticed it." said Chris. "That's actually one of his special magic. He can freely control his body size as he like." said Sheriff.
"Hmm... What a unique magic." said Chris as he continues to observe the match, he looks a bit concerned about the match.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Field A.
Both Itsuki and his opponent had gotten immersed into the match, Itsuki is now in a more complete vampire form, while his opponent had grown into a four-meter-tall giant. However, despite the match had been really heated up, none of them is able to land any decent hit or damage to each other yet.
Then, Itsuki pulled out one of his curve swords, and nervously gripped it firmly with both hands while staring hard at his opponent, he looked rather tensed. After a short attempt to focus his magic while dodging the opponent's attack, Itsuki successfully activated the sword in a single attempt, the sword glows in bright blue light, much brighter than his previous attempts during training. He continues to observe his enemy while dodging in order to find a breaking point to land a direct attack on his opponent, after a while, he somewhat figured out the fighting strategies of his opponent and saw a breakpoint. Waited for the perfect timing, Itsuki waved his sword and created a sharp airwave. Despite the fact that his movement is a bit awkward and sluggish, he successfully landed a deep cut on his opponent's right arm...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting area.
"Ah... He actually successfully landed a hit." said Sky. "Mhmm... But his sword skill looks a bit awkward, maybe I should train him a bit. For the very least, he needs to know how to use sword with single hand." said Chris.
"Well, just don't be happy too early. Have a look at his wound." said Sheriff with a casual tone.
"Ah... Yeah... His wound is regenerating fast." said Sky, surprisingly calm...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Field A.
Itsuki is anxiously staring at his opponent as his opponent's wound recovered at a really fast pace and totally healed in less than ten seconds. Then, without any warning, the giant palm of his opponent slapped him down to the ground from the sky. Fortunately, Itsuki managed to escape just before that pair of giant 'hand hammers' crushed him to meat pulp. However, due to the fall, Itsuki still sustains some obvious minor injuries. At that moment, Itsuki realizes that he should never take his opponent's word before the match so seriously, that guy is definitely lying about his ability before the match.
Uncertain if it's because of the pain on his body or the fear of the power gap, Itsuki felt his level of anxiousness increased drastically until a state that he can't think of any fighting strategies rationally. He can only keep escaping and dodging, he can't even find the courage to fight back or defense directly against his opponent's attack. That fear from the defense test had once again swallowed him.
As Itsuki was escaping while overwhelmed by his own fear, he caught a glimpse of Chris who is watching him from the waiting area, with a slightly disappointed(?) look which caused him to recall his short conversation with Chris before the match...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ever wonder in between death and losing a match, which of it is worse?"
"Death?"
"Yes, death. And I believe you had felt that sort of horror enough during the qualification test, even if I didn't get to see it by my own eyes but judging from the uproar it brought to the people in town, I can imagine how terrifying it is."
"Yes... It was... A living hell."
"And you somehow managed to survive till almost the passing point despite in that kind of situation. Comparing to that, the coming match is not even worth mentioning, so, don't be too tensed about it."
"But I never really had any proper fight like this before... Could I even..."
"You only need to hang in there for thirty minutes to get a draw. To be honest, I don't really expect you to be able to win beautifully for your first match, a draw will be good enough and of course, you can choose to escape and dodge for the whole match and get a draw as the time ran out. But at the same time, I do wish that you can take the match seriously, not just escaping and spend off the thirty minutes count down, after all, it's your first match ever, don't you want it to be slightly more interesting than just a plain thirty minutes count down?"
"... "
"Oh! By the way, I had been recording the matches since the second elimination, I planned to send it to the Dimensional Library and keep it as a documentary record so that everyone can see it in the future."
"Ah..."
