The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 20: The Wind Ballista
"Alfred Tarski ? he is the son of Count Benito Tarski" said Charles.
"That's right, Count Benito served in Marquess Marcelo Buston's territory. You could say, his son, Alfred Tarski is a subordinate of Javier Buston because of his position and Rovinj which is the territory of Marquess Marcelo is in the territory of the Duke of San Quentine," said Enzo.
"San Quentine huh?," said Charles who looked pondering.
"Sister?," said Chloe.
".....,"
I just kept quiet and listened to their conversation.
"Ah it's okay Chloe, it looks like Noa will be in trouble because her opponent is a noble," Charles said.
"Look easy, Charles. Noa will definitely win this match, especially if he knows that his opponent is a subordinate of the Son of the Marquess" I said.
"What do you mean, Rid?" asked Charles.
"You know that I was in a fight with Javier?" I asked again.
"That's right, then I came and stopped your feud" Charles said.
"Before I had a feud with Javier, Noa was provoked by Javier's words. Noa almost attacked Javier if I didn't stop him, after I stopped I continued to fight with Javier" I said.
"So you mean, if Noa knew his opponent was Javier's men then he would have avenged Javier's behavior to his men" said Charles.
"Yes that's right, it's a pity that the opponent is not Javier straight away but at least Noa can reduce his sense of regret because I stopped him earlier, by beating Javier's men," I said.

"The game begins" said Nora's supervisor.
Noa and Alfred immediately advanced on each other, both wearing spears as their weapons. Their game starts with attacking each other using the weapons they use. Noa tries to injure Alfred with his spear but is held by Alfred's spear, Alfred also tries to injure Noa but is held back by Noa's spear. Their match was fierce.
"Noa was great at using spears, too" said Charles.
"So he said that he was used to using spears long ago" I said.
”So yeah, it's worth it he's great at using spears. How about you Rid, are you also good at using swords so you use swords ?,” asked Charles.
”Not very great because I did not get the teaching of swordsmanship officially, unlike you, Charles,” I said.
”Although I get the teaching of swordsmanship, I am also not very good at using swords,” said Charles.
”You two are humbling yes,” said Enzo.
”Haha,” laughter Chloe
-
Noa and Alfred were still fighting with their spears.
”For a commoner, you're pretty good too, but..” said Alfred.
~Wind Magic, Apply Magic Weapon, Wind Spear~
”In magic, I am the most superior,” Alfred said.
~Power Boost~
~Magic Boost~
”Taste this, ~Wind Blow~,” says Alfred.
Alfred attacked using his spear which had been coated by wind magic, Noa reacted and resisted Alfred's attack with his spear. But because of his great strike power, Noa was unable to withstand an attack from Alfred and finally bounced until it hit the wall of the arena.
”Uggghhhhhhhh,” Noa said in pain.
”It looks like Noa is in a dire situation,” said Charles who was a little restless.
”Just relax Charles, Noa hasn't used her magic,” I said calm Charles down.
”Hah, Huh, you can also use wind magic huh ? Whereas during the second exam earlier, I was concerned about other wind magic users but there was no you,” Noa said.
”So I used fire magic during the second test, anyways it is not natural to use element magic more than 1 ?,” said Alfred.
”Hah, that's right anyway,” Noa said.
”Have you given up ? Where did your arrogance go that said you wanted to beat me ? It turns out that the commoners are just this much power, Mr. Javier was so upset and wanted to teach you both a lesson, but it turns out your strength is just this much, but, if indeed your strength is only this way you should not mess with nobles,” said Alfred.
”The rest lives a person named Rid huh, I don't know if mister Javier will be lucky to come face to face with him in this exam or not, if you do not face anyone named Rid will be targeted by Mr. Javier at the Academy,” said Alfred.
Noa was shocked, and finally started to stand back up.
”Who said I gave up ?,” said Noa.
”When you better just give up, so as not to be battered by my attack,” said Alfred.
”So you said “Master Javier”, are you Javier's men?,” asked Noa.
”How dare a commoner like you call Mr. Javier directly by his name,” Alfred said.
”So yes, so you are his men, this is really good luck. I'm upset about Javier's behavior, I haven't had a chance to beat him. But....,” said Noa
~Accelerate~
”...To beat up his men will ease my frustration,” Noa continued.
Noa moved quickly and suddenly was directly in front of Alfred.
”That's fast,” thought Alfred.
~Wind Magic, Apply Magic Weapon, Wind Spear~
Noa attacked using his wind spear. Alfred held him down with his wind spear. The two spears coated in wind magic also collided. A clash between fairly powerful magic occurred in the arena. But since between arena 1, arena 2 and the spectator bench had been installed protective magic, the impact of the clash was not up to the other place.
“What the hell is this attack, how can the magic be stronger than me,” thought Alfred.
Noa urged Alfred with his attack, until finally Noa managed to make Alfred move back a few meters from where they had fought before.
”How could a commoner like you could urge me,” Alfred said.
”Are you surprised when someone below you managed to urge you ? I will make you even more surprised when I manage to defeat you,” Noa said.
”Publicans, breng***. ~Magic Boost, Double~, ~Mega Fire Ball~” Alfred said as he cast his magic.
A large fireball was directed towards Noa. Noa was ready to lift his staff and take out the horses like a man who wanted to throw a spear. As the fireball got closer, Noa threw the spear still watered by wind magic towards the fireball.
”Destroy everything in front of you, ~Wind Ballista~,” Noa said.
The spear that was cast by wind magic was thrown. The spear pointed towards the huge fireball that was pointing towards Noa, Immediately after, the fire spear pierced through the fireball and made the fireball spread and slowly disappear. But the spear still had not stopped because the target the spear was aimed at was not actually that big fireball but was the one who took out that big fireball that was Alfred.
”?!?!?!,” Alfred was surprised.
”The attack is not the same as that launched by Noa during the second test?,” said Charles surprised.
”.....,” I just fell silent.
The spear moved quickly and immediately headed towards Alfred to hit him. Upon reaching Alfred, the spear exploded and a considerable burst of wind magic occurred.
