“I want to know if you guys will like gift”
After everything disappeared, in the presence of the three participants there was only Mark and two large tubes that floated. One side of the tube is glowing and the other side is not.
Kaito looked at the possibility that would happen.
‘We lose or we die. That's the only possibility now. Should I give up seeing this far-reaching difference in magic ability?’
As Kaito begins to think about what is going to happen, Mark begins to talk again.
“I want you to see the combination of wind and black feather attacks belonging to participant number 89 with fire attacks belonging to participant number 480. That would be the best combination at this time”
“Attack combination?” Kaito muttered softly. He began to realize that his magic was likely ingested by that large tube. “Maybe..all that magic that was..”.
“It looks like you're smart ya” praise Mark
Virgo started to prepare with his magic and shouted towards the dragon girl who had turned into a dragon figure.
“Don't shut up! It was the [Magical Cylinder] that could swallow and reverse all of our attacks completely! If until he regurgitates the attack that was fired, we will–”
Not done talking, Mark actually did it. He directly attacked the three by firing all the magic that was in the tube.
The magic is cast from the other side of the tube.
‘That tube...firing our magic?!’
Kaito's surprise didn't help much. Virgo instantly shouted, “Dragon girl, take out your shot again and clash towards the attack now!!”
“What?!” the dragon figure became extremely shocked
“Select one, want to live or die?!”
“Je–obviously want to live! I'm not married! I am still a virgin!”
“I don't care if you're a virgin or not, shoot it now!!”
Virgo shouted and ran to the side of the dragon. Kaito immediately retreated and aligned with the two.
“Virgo, do you have a plan?” ask Kaito
“I have no plan to attack, but I have a plan to defend!”
The dragon figure shot back its fire shots and sure enough, the two forces clashed producing a considerable explosive force like a real war.
[Field Barrier]
A barrier covering an area of all three participants was created and managed to keep them protected from the effects of the previous explosion.
Inside the arena right now, the impact of the explosion was large enough to cause the wind and black feathers to scatter and then disappear. It was a magic mark previously issued by Kaito.
Even so, the damage from inside out was nothing at all thanks to the magic barrier installed.
“We are safe for now, but I am not sure after this” Virgo said softly
“You saved us. Thank ye. Now just how do we deal with that attack da–”
Not finished with his sentence, Mark had apparently already attacked them back with both of his swords this time.
He tried to break through the magic barrier with a super-fast movement until only visible lines of light and sound could not predict how many slashes he had done.
“Do not joke!” Virgo does not believe
The sword attack at high speed was getting faster and finally a small crack was visible.
“Peri–his shield is cracked!” the dragon figure slowly turned back into a human along with his fear that appeared. Her body that had already returned to being the dragon girl it was before began to slowly retreat.
Kaito notices what Mark is doing outside the shield.
‘He only directs his fast attack at one point only and the speed of friction and impact makes the attacked point thin and finally penetrable’
‘It looks like this won't last long’
Kaito instantly prepared with his sword back and began to imagine a magic that might be able to compensate for it.
‘Possible magic can be used to stop its attack..What magic is it?’
‘My ability to process magic is still very limited and also so low. If it was rash, it would lose right then and there. This defense is just a matter of time and that small crack will soon become a point of destruction for us’
More or less the same as Kaito, Virgo also thinks. But what was in his brain was not a way to make the barrier back, but rather to take it seriously completely in this test or look like a beginner.
‘Too extreme showing all the powerful magic I have will make him a little suspicious. Moreover, some of those magic were top-tier magic equivalent to [Art]’ magic
‘But if he breaks through from this point, then I'll just get in trouble’
‘That dragon girl also shrieked as soon as she saw the quick attack from Mark Vermillion, you useless base!! It seems that only Kaito I can count on now’
“Have a plan or wearable magic?”
“I just need to face his sword”
“You're kidding? He will destroy it in a moment!”
“But looking at the tube behind it makes me sure that we will receive the magic we did for him. Physical attacks might be enough to impact him even if not many”
Kaito's explanation makes sense, but in Virgo's mind it's too safe to play.
While they were still busy with opinions in their heads, one hard blow from the two Mark swords managed to break all of the magic barriers.
-CRAAAASH
“Tidaaak!!” the dragon girl shouted out loudly
“Cih!” Virgo instantly pulled out his arrows and bow. But baby, it's a little late. Mark's quick movements successfully kick Virgo.
Mark's kick is directed to the abdomen and the girl's quick movement that crosses her arms, making Mark's kick not hit the intended part.
However, the impact of the attack was still felt to make the girl pushed back quite far with her bow and arrow released from her hand.
Now, Mark directs his quick attack on Kaito and the hand speed fight begins.
-Claang.Claa…
SLAAASH
The quick attack was again carried out.
“You can withstand my attacks to this extent apparently. Interesting, I admit you pulled”
“So...is that a sign that I passed the test?”
“Hmmm. If you can scratch this little piece of my clothes, I'll pass you”
“Alright then”
Kaito's eyes narrowed and he began to look like someone else.
A memory is beginning to be seen. A technique that was very familiar to him. It was a technique when he saw that young man named Adler Klaue fighting against the Giant Serpent.
‘I will bet on that memory and I will win’ he said in heart
He jumped far back to keep his distance from Mark. By taking out the horses that Kaito had never shown before, Mark's red eyes lit up and he instantly activated defense magic.
[Ice Barrier]
A thick and wide ice wall started to appear. It's protecting Mark.
‘I don't like this, but it looks like the horses aren't good. In the swordsmanship of the Eastern and Western Countries, I have never seen horses strike like that’ in the Inner Mark
The foreign horses seemed to have many gaps to be broken through but somehow that was precisely what was very unnatural for Mark.
Sure enough, from behind the ice wall, Mark saw the shadow of Kaito just disappear from his presence.
“Lost?!”
Unexpectedly, Kaito was already on his right side and directly slashed at him.
SLAAASH
Mark held. The two guards who witnessed this could hardly say anything.
“What happened...”?
“I saw it. He casts out a magic first then makes use of the speed to run to the right side then jumps to attack Mark-sama”
“But how can?!”
“Then about it..”.
Inside the arena, Virgo and the dragon girl were also amazed by Kaito. Virgo doesn't even believe what he sees.
‘Must be! No way, no way, no way, no way! It's magic [Art]! I'm sure he used [Art] magic. Otherwise, it would be impossible to run without a sound like switching places like that!’
‘Wind magic no one increases speed by sending someone to where he wants. In that case, couldn't Kaito be likened to a division member of the Magic Council?!’
But not long after, a smile is seen on Virgo's lips.
‘It's good. After this exam is over, I will make him as my partner to launch master’ plan
