I starts wondering around at the top of the Colosseum. Furthermore, I found someone waving at me at the other side of it. I went there, and it took me 8 minutes to arrive...
It was Lamie who's waving at me with Mabuena.
Mabuena Trinio
I thought you got lost *scoffed*
Lamie de Odelleya
Now, now. We should calm down first.
Lamie de Odelleya
Here, have a seat, brother.
He tapped the chair beside him, gesturing me to sit
I took a seat, and crossed my arms
I looked down at the ground of the Colosseum and saw all the teachers are arranging things: Leaderboard, barrier, swords, wands.
Lamie de Odelleya
Since you don't know, brother. Today is ranking increase, meaning, this is the day when you get the chance to increase your rank.
Lamie explained, literally different from what Mabuena said, this is more detailed.
Lamie de Odelleya
Oh, wait. I heard the news that you coughed blood while practicing with young master Niobe.
Liam de Odelleya
Yeah... He was strong, like "fwoosh"!
I spread my arms on the air
Lamie de Odelleya
(did he just said "fwoosh"?)
(￣∇￣)
While we were having a conversation, a loud voice was heard from the whole Colosseum. It was a teacher that is using a magic to make her voice loud.
Mage teacher
Greetings, students! Teachers! Princess! Princes! Nobles!
Mage teacher
This year, our academy would celebrate for there 1,000th year by holding a ranking increase day! *shout*
Mage teacher
Let's invite our three students that are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd last year!
The three students started walking in the middle of the Colosseum's ground. The only person I know there is Menkaya, the rest, I don't know.
Mage teacher
Let us introduce the three students!
The teacher dragged the tall, looking-like an adult.
Mage teacher
This is our ranked 3rd student in our students' leaderboard last year! His name is Cagliari, he is from the South, the grand Duke's son of the South.
The teacher then dragged the other one that I think is the ranked 2nd.
Mage teacher
This is our ranked 2nd student in our students' leaderboard last year! His name is Chandler, he is from the North, the ranked 1 mage's son of the North. Knowing he is the son of the most powerful mage from the north is promising that he will be the next to have that title!
The teacher dragged the last student, it was none other than Menkaya. The cheers are louder than before after Menkaya was dragged in front.
Mage teacher
This is our student that stayed at the top since the day he enrolled! Everyone must've known him! He is Menkaya, the emperor's son of the east! No one know where he got the magic from, but no one really questioned him for that!
Of course no one would doubt that since he is the son of the emperor from the east... But if it's someone else that has a lower status, they would probably doubt, and asked questions.
Mage teacher
Would our little leaderboard change?! Or would it still the same?!
The teacher made the students hyped
Liam de Odelleya
It would change, I tell you.
Lamie and Mabuena glanced at each other.
Mabuena Trinio
Of course, it would change! *giggles*
Lamie de Odelleya
What the teacher meant is that, would the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would be replaced.
Liam de Odelleya
That's what I meant, too *scoffed*
Mabuena Trinio
And how can you be sure of that?
We saw the magic screen that have our names and our rightful opponents
I squinted my eyes to see who is my opponent
System: Liam de Odelleya vs Denier Vitor
System: You're going to duel at the next round... Ranked 900th above
(meaning, there are different magic screens at each student, for example: You're a person that is ranked at 546, the only screen that you could see is the 500-599 ranks. You're going to have to wait until it's the fifth round)
Liam de Odelleya
Oh, the system is sending our opponent's name?
Mabuena Trinio
Huh? What do you mean?
Lamie de Odelleya
Well... If the system wants to send it, then it'll send it
Mabuena Trinio
Whatever...
First round were for 1000th above
The 900th above is the next round
Mage teacher
Next! Rank 988 and rank 987, please come down
Lamie de Odelleya
Good luck, brother
Mabuena Trinio
Good luck, Liam
(just addition: once you won, you would proceed, and ranked up)
Liam de Odelleya
(I don't want to waste my time walking down there)
Liam de Odelleya
⏚⎍⋏⋏⊬ ⟊⎍⋔⌿
I put a pressure on my shoes
It was a spell that is called "bunny jump"
Liam de Odelleya
(this spell is dangerous, I know. Once used wrongly, you can land wrong and pull a muscle)
Liam de Odelleya
(that's why I'm using it! Hehe)
(￣∇￣)
It's really high... The position I was sitting is the top of the Coloseum
Liam de Odelleya
⍙⟟⋏⎅ ⌰⟟☍⟒ ⎎⟒⏃⏁⊑⟒⍀
I pointed my palm at the ground to position the magic spell there
I finally landed safe and sound
Mage teacher
What a great performance, ranker 988!
Liam de Odelleya
"Excuse me? That's not a performance, I'm just lazy to walk"
That's what I want to say, but just stayed silent
My opponent finally arrived
Mage teacher
Since you two are here! What weapon would you like? *smile*
Liam de Odelleya
The same as my opponent
Denier Vitor
Sword, please
The teacher both gave us swords
The teacher starts backing away from inside, and turned on the barrier
According to my talent in swordsmanship in the past... My style was like this
I threw the sword on the air
Liam de Odelleya
☌⍀⏃⎐⟟⏁⊬ ⍜⎎ ⏁⊑⟒ ⋔⍜⍜⋏
I put the gravity of the moon inside the barrier, making the sword stayed in the air
Liam de Odelleya
⍙⟟⋏⎅ ⌇⌿⟒⟒⎅
I used the last magic spell that I needed to complete this duel
I kicked him, but he used his sword to block me
The gravity is making him hard to move
I ran opposite of his direction
Then ran towards him again, and put great force on my kick
He slammed on the barrier
I jumped high enough to reach my sword
Then ran towards him again
But I didn't go close to him
Instead... I threw my sword right to his head!
Liam de Odelleya
Headsho-!
Liam de Odelleya
(I forgot I didn't need to kill him! Oh, shoot!)
I saw the teacher close to the barrier, trying to turn it off to go inside
Liam de Odelleya
☌⍀⏃⎐⟟⏁⊬ ⍜⎎ ⏁⊑⟒ ⋔⍜⍜⋏!!!!
I used the same spell on my sword to slow it down, but I know it wouldn't stay long
So I quickly ran towards him to defend him
System: Due to the great speed of the sword, the spell is cancelled
Liam de Odelleya
⎅⟒⎎⟒⋏⎅ ⏚⏃⍀⍀⟟⟒⍀!!!
Before it could hit us, the barrier quickly activated... The sword was stopped by my barrier, but it made a crack from it
System: Congratulations for winning! Your rank has been increased by 20 ranks! Continue your great performance!
Everyone inside the Coloseum were silent
I glanced at the teacher, and bowed my head
Liam de Odelleya
I'm sorry!
Mage teacher
W-Why are you apologising, ranker 968?
Mage teacher
(I've never heard system increasing someone's rank by 20 ranks...)
Denier Vitor
*coughed* it was a great match, ranker 968... Though I didn't get a chance to fight back
Denier Vitor
Right... Were you trying to kill me?
Liam de Odelleya
(´⌒｀;) I'm sorry... I just forgot
System: Current mana: 45,000
Denier Vitor
Atleast you save me...
Denier Vitor
Thank you for saving me
Liam de Odelleya
(I should be the one thanking you for forgiving me ╥﹏╥)
Mage teacher
You can both come back to your seats...
I used my teleportation to go back to where Mabuena and Lamie is
Lamie de Odelleya
Brother!!! You're so cool!!! I think you're stronger than me now!
Lamie de Odelleya
Don't you dare say that you're not strong! (•ˋ _ ˊ•)
Mabuena Trinio
Were you this strong, Liam?
And this is where the asking questions began
？？？
