One day,
On the third day of school, Akira was summoned to the principal's office. The principal, Teacher Ryu Hayashi, and Miyuki Midori were there.
The principal asked, "Why haven't you been to school for two days? You're a new student at this Magic Academy?" Akira explained that he was sick, feeling dizzy, and feeling unwell.
Teacher Ryu Hayashi responded that he didn't seem sick. He had the ability to see other people's bodies.
Teacher Miyuki responded, "Wow, it's impossible for someone as great as him to be sick." Miyuki deliberately praised Akira because she thought he was great, having defeated the monster in the hidden cave behind the school, and he must have been hiding his true strength.
Akira explained that he was sick, feeling dizzy, so he couldn't go to school. He was staying at the inn alone. When I was sick, I had no one to accompany me. I forgot to send my sick note to the school, and no one knew me at the inn.
Akira apologized to the principal and the other teachers. "Okay, principal, I've heard your explanation. Please go to class. Class will start soon." As she left the principal's office, Aya overheard their conversation and hurried into the classroom.
"The bell rang, it's time for class."
In today's lesson, Teacher Ryu Hayashi will teach the students how to test their abilities by dueling each other in the Magic Academy Arena. The arena is filled with a powerful magical aura, and each duel will be a true test of their skill and courage.
Who will emerge victorious in this epic magical battle? This dueling contest to test their abilities will be arranged by the teacher, who will randomly assign opponents.
So, Akira Takahashi faces Mio Fujimoto for the first duel.
"Yoshh, it turns out I'm up against that arrogant and conceited student, Mio! I can definitely beat her!" Akira exclaimed.
"Ganbatte!! (Going strong) Akiraaaa!!" Aya said with a sweet smile and a small laugh.
"Akira, stay strong, you can definitely beat her," Kaito said.
"I feel embarrassed and shocked when I see Aya cheering her on," Akira thought to himself.
"Tch, you think you can beat me, you're a level 20 with all the attitude. What's the point of trying to get a girl to cheer you on?" Mio thought to herself.
"Before the exam started, Mio said."
"Hey, new kid, you're only level 20, haha. I thought you were high-level, haha. Are you sure you can beat me?" Mio said, arrogantly.
Akira, who was hiding his true level, could only laugh silently.
His true level is level 90, and with his overpowered skills, defeating the arrogant Mio would be easy.
"Hehe, get ready, Mio. I'm going to embarrass you in front of everyone. I wonder how that arrogant expression of yours will change," Akira said quietly, almost whispering.
Just minutes before the fight began, Akira devised a strategy to further humiliate Mio in front of the students.
"Okay, are you ready?" said Ryu, the teacher who would be overseeing the fight.
The Magic Academy arena already had a protective circle, so anyone who unleashed their strongest skill wouldn't be easily destroyed.
"Ready," Mio said confidently.
"Ready," Akira said confidently as well.
Hearing this, several students began whispering.
"Who do you think will win this fight? Mio or Akira?" asked NPC Student 1.
"Of course, Mio. You've seen her skills, there's no way Akira can win," replied NPC Student 2.
"Prepare... And START!" shouted Teacher Ryu.
Cheers rang out, eager to see who would win.
"Okay, how about we make a bet? Do you agree?" NPC Student 1 said.
"Okay, if I win, treat me to an expensive meal in the cafeteria," replied NPC Student 2.
"Okay, if I win, I get money, okay?" said NPC Student 1.
"Okay, agreed," replied NPC Student 2.
Akira's supporters cheered for Akira, and some students also cheered for Mio. But most students supported Mio over Akira, because Akira was level 20 while Mio was level 50.
Mio immediately unleashed her fire skill, Flame Strike. Akira quickly dodged it, still hiding his Eternal Guardian skill to protect himself.
"Flamme Strike!!!" said Mio.
"Hahaha, it hit you right in the face."
"Ahh, I almost got hit by that attack," said Akira.
"How could he possibly dodge my attack? Tchhhh damn, Whew! Is he hiding his true strength?" said Mio.
"I've been channeling magical energy into my eyes since before I started, hehe, so I can read the enemy's movements," Akira said to himself.
"I expected Mio to suddenly unleash her skill, but I already knew her movements, hehe."
Akira tried to use his Flamma Ignis skill on Mio. Mio also used her Flamme Strike skill. The power of the skills collided and exploded, equal in power.
Akira's Flamma Ignis skill was on par with Mio's Flamme Strike skill. Since Akira has so many skills, he'll use another one to try it against Mio, hehe.
"Flamma Ignis!!!" Akira said.
"Flamme Strike!!!" Mio said.
BBOOoooom!! (explosion sound).
Zap!!! Zap!!! Zap!!!
"Wooooow... look at Akira using his Flamma Ignis skill, its power is on par with Mio's Flamme Strike skill!" exclaimed all the students watching.
"So, who will win in this epic battle, Akira or Mio? You've seen it, haha. Akira unleashed his skill, and he's really good!" said NPC Student 1.
"Okay, don't get cocky yet, the fight isn't over yet." NPC Student 2 replied.
"Yes, okay, I'll watch until the end. Don't forget our bet," said NPC Student 1.
"It's clear, student. Mio is level 50, while Akira is level 20. How can Akira possibly win against her?" replied NPC Student 2.
"Student, but Akira is level 20, but he still has many other skills. One of his skills is Flamma Ignis, which is fire energy, while he is light energy and has the skill Starlight Sanctuary." said NPC Student 1 (who knew a little about Akira).
"I think he might be hiding his true power. He possesses energy other than light and has many specific skills." replied NPC Student 2.
"Yeah, it seems you understand that, haha," said NPC Student 1.
"Student, so this time I'll support the new student, Akira." replied NPC Student 2.
"Hey, how about our bet? If I win, I'll get some money." Said NPC Student 1.
"Yes, yes, this is enough money for me to give you?" replied NPC Student 2.
"That's it then, thank you for doing business with you, hehe." said NPC Student 1.
"Akira, Akira, Akira." said NPC Student 2.
"Eeeee... why are so many students supporting me, even though Mio had more supporters before?" Akira thought to himself.
"Wow, Akira is so amazing, using his fire skill. He's on par with Mio's," Aya thought to herself.
"Akira is amazing, his skill strength is on par with Mio's," Kaito said.
"Tchhhhh, why are all the students cheering for Akira now? Damn, how can he use his fire skill? It's on par with mine!" Mio thought to herself.
"Yes... then I'll use my strongest skill, Eternal Blaze. Mio unlocks Flamme Strike at level 20. At level 50, she enhances her fire skills and unlocks Eternal Blaze."
Akira channeled light energy into his eyes and sharpened his vision. I secretly used Revelation Gaze. Since Mio was watching the screams of her students, many of whom were supporting Akira now, Akira simply used Flamma Ignis, Revelation Gaze, Eclipse Cataclysm, and his final attack, Starlight Sanctuary, hehe.
"Channeled light energy into his eyes, Revelation Gaze!!!" Akira said.
"Name: Mio Fujimoto, Level 50, Class A Rank in the Adventurer's Guild. She has the Level 20 Skill Flame Strike: a powerful and rapid fire attack that can destroy enemy shields or strong walls.
She has the OP Level 50 Skill Eternal Blaze: the ultimate fire magic that emits eternal flames, burning continuously without being extinguished," Akira said.
"Hmm, she has a deadly skill, huh? Luckily I have the protection skill Eternal Guardian," Akira thought to himself.
"Eternal Blaze!!!" Mio said.
"Wow, she immediately used that skill. Doesn't that skill drain a lot of mana?" Akira said to himself.
"Huftt!! Huft!! Huft!! You're doomed, Akiraaaaa!!!" Mio said with confidence.
BBBBOOOOOOMMMM...
Zapppp!!! Zapppp!!!
Akira was surprised to see Mio immediately use her deadly skill. Luckily, I quickly used my Eternal Guardian skill, hehe, chuckling. Mio was shocked when Akira used his protective skill. "It's impossible for him to have such powerful skills," Mio said. All the students were shocked to see Akira use his other skills.
"Akira already knew he had the protective skill, so he immediately used many of his skills to win this match. Teacher Ryu was shocked to see Akira use his other skills. So this is your true strength, Akira," Teacher Ryu thought to himself.
"Eternal Guardian!!!..." Akira said.
"I-Impossible he could withstand my powerful attack. Tchhhh, does he have other skills?" Mio thought to herself.
"All the students were shocked when Akira used his protective skill. Woooowww, does he have other skills too?"
"Amazing, he's level 20 and has such powerful skills," said NPC Student 3.
"Hmmm... Yes, that's right." said NPC Student 4.
"Interesting, Akira. I'll try to befriend him and fight him someday," said NPC Student 4 to himself.
"Wow... Akira has the protection skill Eternal Guardian. A good skill name means strong protection, just like mine," Aya said.
"Wow.... Akira is amazing! He has such a powerful protection skill! He can withstand the deadly attack of eternal fire!" Kaito said.
"So this is your true strength, Akira. I'll talk to you both in the teacher's office later," Ryu said to himself.
"Oh, everyone's found out about my protection skill!" Akira said to himself.
"Phew!! Phew!! Phew!!! My mana is drained, I'm too exhausted to fight anymore," Mio said.
"It's time for me to attack with my signature skill," Akira said.
"Eclipse Cataclysm!!!" Akira said.
"Eternal Blaze!!!" Mio said.
"Starlight Sanctuary!!!" Akira said.
BOOOOOOOMMmmmmmm...
Zaaaaappp!!!! Zaaaaappppp!!!
Mio Arrrgghhh...
The power of the Eclipse Cataclysm skill penetrated Eternal Blaze, allowing Akira to successfully attack. Mio was still able to stand, but she was injured by Akira's attack.
Akira unleashed his final skill, Starlight Sanctuary. This attack caused Mio to fall asleep immediately after being hit by Akira's attack. Akira is the winner.
"So the winner is Akira!! Mio is lying on the floor. Aya, please help heal her wounds!" Ryu said.
"Yes, Teacher. Healing Light, Purification, Area High Heal!!" Aya said.
All the students. Wow, the winner is the new student, Akira.
"Students, how could Mio lose? She usually always wins in the Magic Academy Arena back then?" said NPC Student 5 (from back then).
"An old student was defeated by a new student, that's all," NPC Student 5 (from back then, who always supported Mio) said to himself.
Students who supported Akira
"Congratulations, Akira, you won."
"Thanks for being my support," Akira said.
Akira was slightly injured, hehe, so he pretended to be injured and used Lux Lumina's Heal skill. Akira was hit by Aya's High Heal, and he and Mio were fully healed.
Mio was very annoyed. "Tchh, he's level 20 and has other skills. That's so strange." Mio immediately left the arena to suppress her embarrassment at underestimating Akira.
Mio was yelled at by all the students for her arrogance, which led to her defeat.
Aya and Kaito approached Akira to congratulate him on his victory in the Magic Academy Arena against Mio. Aya was very considerate of Akira. Kaito praised Akira for his skills, as he possessed many mysterious abilities.
"Congratulations, Akira, you won!!" Aya said.
"Congratulations, Akira, you're so great!!" Kaito said.
"Thank you, everyone, for your concern," Akira said happily and with a sweet smile.
"Akira, you're not hurt, are you okay?" Aya asked, holding Akira's hand. Aya said worriedly.
"Eeeeetto... I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry, I've been training to fight monsters since I was little,
to level up, hehe, so I can be this strong, hehe." Akira said.
Aya held Akira's hand, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Akira, let go of my hand, Aya, I'm fine," Akira said.
"Eeeee!!! I'm sorry, Akira, for being so bold as to hold your hand,"
Aya said.
"No need to apologize, it's okay, I'm just a little tired, hehe," Akira said.
"Okay, students, we'll continue tomorrow. Aya will fight Kaito," Ryu said.
"Eeeee... How can I, a Healer, fight!!" Aya said.
"Yes, Teacher, how can he fight? He's a Healer!" Kaito said.
"E-Ehm... If Aya is a Healer and Kaito is a swordsman, we'll test your survival skills. So, the person who lasts the longest in the Magic Academy Arena is the winner. You're free to use any skills in the Arena.
If you run out of mana, you can finish off your opponent to be the winner. Understand?!" Ryu said.
All the students understood, teacher.
"Okay, teacher," Aya said.
"Okay, teacher," Kaito said.
"Oooh, so that's the explanation, okay?" Akira said to himself.
"The bell rang, it's time to go home."
Akira, "Yeah, it's time to go home." I went to the inn and went straight to bed. I felt exhausted from fighting Mio.
Akira thought about Mio, how was she? Did I overdo it with my Eclipse Cataclysm and Starlight Sanctuary skills? I hope she's okay. Okay, good night.
"Good night."
