Capítulo 17: Breakthrough, Report, and Say Goodbye! (2/2)
Shiela was shocked about what had happened. She suddenly remembered that she was only fighting a Senior (L) and she was so immersed in the fight since Tristan had become stronger and stronger, she thought she was fighting an Expert Stage. So, when he slashed his third attack, she immediately used her combination move. This move was already an instinct like muscle memory every time she fought or sparred with people.
So, she was surprised and became worried, that guy, can he take it? What if he becomes crippled? She suddenly regretted what she had done and felt sorry. She immediately hurriedly rushed towards him.
"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.
"Senior Black"
"Hurry up, we must rescue him," Gato and Ted also followed with a worried expression on their face then…
Shiiiing…
They felt a wind rushing towards them.
It's Major Anderson
He also saw that scene and immediately hurriedly rushed over. In his mind, he was scolding that 'stinky woman', he gave her a chance to invite a genius person, not a crippled person.
"That…"
"Sir!" Gato looked close and felt familiar, his eyes widened ,and hurriedly saluted.
Ted looked at him and was surprised and thought this hunter-suited guy must be an officer so he also saluted "Sir!"
"Sir you must save Tristan, he's to have an accident!" Ted added worriedly.
Gato felt this was a little disrespectful but he was also worried about Tristan and he also nodded.
"Captain!"
Shiela was also surprised about his appearance but she couldn't think anymore and become panicked.
"What the hell are you doing, are you going to kill? Just tell me if you're not satisfied and don't want to recruit him, and I will take him to others!" Anderson glared and shouted at her angrily.
"Cough, cough, cough!" They heard a coughing sound and immediately came.
"Young man, are you okay? I will take you" Anderson was surprised that Tristan was okay. He looked at him and found that his coat was not damaged. There's a bit of black on his face that might be caused by the previous explosion but he can see that Tristan was okay, but he was still worried and planned to take him.
"Cough, cough, Major, a-are you here?" Tristan said weakly.
"Of course, I'm here to… eh" Anderson suddenly remembered that he was spying on them and immediately rushed over, he became embarrassed and said: "Huh, eh, haha, ho, I happened to pass by here then I heard a loud explosion so I was worried and immediately hurriedly over"
Shiela on the sides rolled her eyes at him, with an outfit like that and you said you happened to pass by? I think you're just spying on us. But she didn't expose it because she also has a fault here. She was also glad that Tristan was okay.
"Tristan, I'm really sorry. Please, believe me, it wasn't my intention," Sheila bowed her head and apologized.
She was shocked that Tristan had survived the Crown Attack without serious injury. How tough is this guy? She thought to herself. Talent, swordsmanship, speed, strength, and toughness; he's an all-rounder. But if there's one weakness, it's that he's still a Senior (L).
"I see... cough, cough," Tristan didn't respond, he was lost in thought. He realized that his own strength was not enough, and he had been too cocky in thinking he could fight a crown. His eyes felt a little blurry.
"Hurry up, I'll take you!" Anderson stepped forward, but Tristan waved him off.
"Cough, wait, I... I want to try something," Tristan forced himself to stand and walked unsteadily.
"What are you...?" Anderson and the others looked at him in confusion.
They watched as Tristan retrieved his sword from the ground, put the Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, and held the Snow Chaser and Sandai Kitetsu in his right and left hands.
"Three swords?" Anderson was confused.
"Hey, senior, what is senior black doing?" Ted elbowed Gato and asked.
"I don't know," Gato shook his head in confusion.
Sheila looked closely and suddenly remembered something. Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed in a loud voice: "Could it be...!"
"Three Sword Style: Tornado!"
Tristan immediately slashed his three swords, creating a large tornado.
"It's an INTERMEDIATE!" Sheila exclaimed in shock.
A Three Sword Style Genre!
Sheila and the others had never seen it before, only Tristan had.
And now, Tristan had achieved two intermediate levels in different types of swordplay: Two Sword Style and Three Sword Style, all at just 20 years old! It was unbelievable.
Actually, Tristan had already seen it when he looked at his progress on the system. He was also surprised because he had used a three-sword style and it hadn't improved his two-sword style, but instead, it had improved his three-sword style. Where's the logic in that?
He suddenly remembered and wondered, could it be because of the battle with Sheila, a Crown Stage? He wasn't sure, but he thought his hypothesis was highly possible.
He looked at his progress:
1 Sword: Beginner (81%)
2 Sword: Intermediate (46%)
3 Sword: Intermediate (3%)
He felt glad that all had made progress.
But then, his eyes became blurry. "Damn it," he thought, "if a beast were to appear here, I would definitely die."
He forced himself to wake up, but he was still drowsy. He walked unsteadily and was about to fall, so he sat down and put his hand on the ground to steady himself. He was very tired now and it took a few minutes before he lost consciousness completely and fell. But he was picked up by Anderson.
They watched over him until he lost consciousness and they felt heavy inside. They saw his stubbornness and strong willpower in just his simple actions and couldn't help but respect him.
Sheila thought, "This guy must not only be talented but also persistent." Thinking of these, she really doesn't want to lose this opportunity. SHE MUST, MUST invite him no matter what." She gripped her spear tightly.
She then looked at his coat and was surprised to see that there was no damage on it. She realized that the coat was not simple and must have some kind of protection.
She also noticed his swords. They were thin but it had managed to survive several clashes with her spear. She knew that his swords were not simple, as they had proven in the fight.
But she didn't dwell on it and whistled.
GROWL
Suddenly, they heard a monster growling in the distance.
Gato and Ted became alerted, but Anderson stood calmly. He knew what it was: Sheila's Summoner Contract, Flyghtning.
It was a creature with a head-to-tail length of 4.5 meters and a wingspan of 18 meters. It had a dark blue color covering its entire body and a big camera on its head. It was an Enhanced Grade!
Flyghtning sat nearby and bent its head against Sheila. "Kuh!"
"WTF!" Gato and Ted shivered as they looked at the giant bird.
"M-m-master, what is th-this?"
"Don't worry, it won't harm you as long as you don't do anything wrong to her. By the way, it's my Summoner Contract. Her name is Flyghtning, and she is a female," Sheila patted the creature's head and introduced it to them.
"Tsk, a summoner contract, huh! I really envy you," Anderson said while looking at Flyghtning.
"Then you must hurry and find one. It's a shame to your status to have no contract beast," Sheila said.
"Don't worry, if there's a chance," Anderson said, as he walked towards Flyghtning while carrying Tristan on his back. He then immediately put him on Flyghtning's back and patted it and said, "Little guy, you must take care of him."
Growl!
Flyghtning put her right wing on her chest and nodded as if saying "Don't worry!"
"Let's go to Station 95 first," Anderson said, because only Stations 90 and 95 had a clinic.
"Hurry up and sit!" Shiela shouted at the remaining two and hopped in.
"Tha-that! Gulped." Gato and Ted looked at it and swallowed their saliva. They had no choice but to go.
After a few minutes later, Shiela sent information to her phone.

…
Evening in Station 95
Shiela was on the phone,
[What the hell did you send? Are you kidding me? An S Potential? Do you think S Potentials can be found anywhere? We already have one, do you think you can find another one?]
"I fought that guy, I'm sure of it this time. Headmaster, you must use that Ticket or you'll regret it," Shiela implored.
[Did you really fight him seriously?] the Headmaster asked.
"Of course I did," Shiela said. "I maintained my strength at Expert (E) first, then increased it a bit. You know we fought with weapons, I really put my best effort into it. But this guy was able to react in unexpected ways, and had the courage to counter-attack. I even increased my strength to Expert (M). And the last time, he managed to catch me off guard and almost defeat me, if it weren't for my instincts at the time."
"Headmaster, you must use the S-Ticket. Otherwise, other universities will notice him and there'll be no time for regrets. Don't blame me later, this kid has Champion potential!" Shiela added.
[Are you really sure that kid has Champion Potential? You know we'll offend others once we use the S-Ticket on an unknown kid,] the Headmaster said.
[If what you're saying is true, do you have a video? Have you recorded it? You know me, you must convince me with evidence, not just verbal talk,] The headmaster asked.
"Of course I do, Headmaster. I will show you a video. You must watch it and then decide if I'm lying," Shiela replied.
After a few minutes.
[Gasp!]
The headmaster was shocked looking at the video
Then few minutes later
[SHIELA YOU BASTARD! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!! DO YOU WANT TO KILL HIM?]
Shiela immediately put away her phone to her ear.
"Of course I'm not, that was just an accident. Just like I told you earlier, I was surprised this guy managed to make a unique move like that. I was surprised and just instinctively used my combo moves. Then I realized it was just a Senior (L)."
[Then what about his injury? Is he okay? Damn it! Shiela! I'll tell you if something happens to him. Don't ever come back here! Did you hear that] the Headmaster said sternly.
"I know, I know," Shiela replied, sounding apologetic.
[I'll give you a mission. You must come back here with that guy as fast as you can, don't let others notice him. I'll give you a week] the Headmaster said.
"A week? Are you kidding me? You know using contract beasts in the air under the Safe Region is illegal," Shiela said in disbelief.
[I'll contact some people in the Alliance to take care of your concern. Don't worry about it] the Headmaster replied.
"But that guy didn't wake up yet," Shiela said.
[After that guy wakes up, your mission will start!] the Headmaster said firmly.
"Okay," Shiela said, sounding resigned.
…
September 30, NE176
Early in the morning in Station 95
Tristan woke up.
"So, you have woken up!"
Tristan saw Shiela sitting on the sides like the position of Jigo when he woke up before.
"I can't believe I'm unconscious again," Tristan said through gritted teeth as he lay on the ground. Being unconscious twice in such a short period of time was a poor performance for him, and he knew that if it became a habit, he could potentially be in danger. If he keeps passing out every time something happens, I'm going to end up dead at this rate.
"I'm the one to blame this time," Shiela said to Tristan.
"It's not your fault," Tristan said solemnly. "I just wasn't strong enough."
He looked at her and asked, "By the way, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to invite you to our university, just like before," Sheila said as she handed him her card.
Tristan caught the card and looked at it.
"My name is Shiela Silvrer, and I'm an instructor at Skyfall Heroes University," she said. "It's one of the top A-class universities in the Blue Region. If you agree, as long as you breakthrough expert, I can promise you'll have a spot on the roster for the competition next year."
"As long as you..."
"I agree!"
"Huh..." She looked at him with doubt.
"Won't you listen to the condition or do you have any requirements?"
"I don't care about it, as long as you let me eat…" Tristan didn't care whether it was a C, B, A, or S class, it was the same for him, as long as he enter universities. He already saw the progress of his classmates, so he must catch up with them. He already wasted 2 years of his time here, but even though he wasted 2 years here, he also learned something here which is also beneficial for his future.
Speaking of eating…
Growl!
"I wanted to eat, you must treat me" Tristan got up and found his sword. Speaking of swords, he actually left his three swords to boss Jigo, he must get it back and say goodbye to him
"Okay!" Shiela nodded.
