"It doesn't matter," I responded si in annoyance from our professor as he looked back at me

"I Insist," he retorted

"Then please go hat you're more confident in" I took a couple steps forward,his every movement and action

He blinked towardshis blade doith a force that wasn't exactly 'easy'

His sas imbued in a layer of blue fire, the heat that radiated fro his initial surprise attack, I used wind attribute mana to keep the trail of fire away from me

Since I was only able to use wind and earth mana, I had to really think about how to best utilize er opponent While it would've been easy to use blue fire ht now

His bo faster and stronger, as if trying to test the lied his attack with ease, his next attacks would be kicked up a notch

I wasn't using any spells to receive his attacks, justand pure sword technique, which seemed to frustrate our professor even more

"I'm sure the disciplinary co away," he said loudly, putting on a joking face

"Is there really a need for me to attack when our esteemed professor can't even land one on a first-year student?" I countered, putting on an innocent face

He didn't answer, his lips contorted in anger instead By this tiht on that this wasn't just a si if they should call the director or the student council over

Professor Geist wasn't trying to put on an act of confidence anymore, concentration was etched on his face as he tried to block e of the arena as each blow from me forced hi helplessly upon receiving each attack

It was about tiround where he was about to take his next step to concave in, htly lose his balance As expected of a veteran augmenter, he stuain his balance However, that split second was all that I needed

"AHHH!" Overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of attacks that he couldn't hope to block completely, he stumbled onto his butt and rolled out of the arena

The protective barrier that blocked all spells froh flickered and cracked as ainst it until finally, the barrier broke with a sharp sound It had been strong enough to block all but one last blade of wind fro a trickle of blood

Fortunately, the Professor's h so that razed hiht and knees shaking as I buried ht next to his carotid artery

Pulling out , I look down at our professor "Thank you for your guidance"

As if on cue, the bell rang, and I walked out of the roo the entire class's eyes wide and jaws slack

"…A-Arthur" I heard a soft voice fro towardsbehind

"I have to admit, you were impressive back there, Arthur As expected of my rival" Feyrith crossed his arms, but his face looked a little disheartened

Putting an arood out there, Feyrith If you knew the type of spell that the professor was using, I know you would've prepared more preventive measures"

"O-Of course! If I knew that the specific spell he would use was a lot stronger than I anticipated, I'm sure I would've come out as the victor in the end," he said, but the faint smile on his face showed that he appreciated my faith

I turned to Kathlyn, as still a bit shaken up "Are you an idiot?" I said to her, flicking her lightly on the forehead

She looked at me in utter shock, and even Feyrith looked a bit panicked

"If you chose to defend yourself instead of focusing so uy, you wouldn't have put yourself at risk like that Don't be so stubborn and think things through more carefully You know… you're awfully eave her a playful s the princess in a daze while Feyrith panicked, thinking of ways to console her
