Legacy Of Ennea

It is still 5 PM...

When we return to our home, we have this carriage waiting for us... I believe it is the carriage that was sent by Lerrich...

"Nicolas-sama... we are sent by Lerrich-sama to help you move to the new house..." the servant said

"Yes, please help us..." I said

I opened the door, and several servants come inside to help us move out...

"I am sleepy..." Euclio said

"H-Hey... just don't sleep until we move out to the new house... then let's eat..." I said

"How about we eat first... and then we move to the new house..." Erin said

"I agree..." Euclio said

"Let's eat a steak!!" Rin said

"Hmmm, I think that's a good idea..." I said

And I told the servant to go to the guild after they finished moving our stuff...

We ride on June to the restaurant... but we should put June on the guild's stable...

So, we visit the guild first... and found Rick's party...

They were outside the guild...

"Hey!" I greeted him and he looked surprised...

"N-Nicolas! I thought you went home already?" Rick said

"Have you eat?" I asked

And the five of them shook their head...

"Let us treat you! I know a good place to eat!" I said

And they looked interested...

"Hmm I guess we have a lot of time for food!" Kai said

The nine of us is now head to the steak restaurant...

When we arrived in front of the restaurant... an elf open the door for us...

"Nicolas!" She said

"Monica!" Rin said

"Rin!" Monica said

I don't really understand this greeting... but okay...

"W-Wow... there are a lot of you today..." Monica said

"Yeah, for nine people please..." I said

And she nodded...

She let us to a private room on the second floor, which is more exclusive...

Rick and his party hanged his mouth...

"A-Are you sure it is okay?" Rick asked me...

"No problem! But let me order the food okay?" I said

I just don't want they order a 5 gold's meal... if there is such thing...

Rick nodded...

I give some option

Beef Steak, Pork Steak, Chicken Steak....

This time I tried the chicken steak... and Euclio still choose the chicken steak as well... Euclio loves chicken, even since we are still in school, he never eats other meat except chicken...

After we ordered the food... Monica went downstairs to prepare our meals....

"So, what is your plan for tomorrow?" I asked Rick's party...

"Hmmm, we are going to take it easy for tomorrow... since we got a gold for each of us..." Rick said happily...

A-A gold?!

Euclio and I looked surprised...

T-That is quite a small amount right?

"I-I see..." I said

Seeing me acting weird... Euclio changed the topic

"Why don't you come visit our place? We haven't seen it either..." Euclio said

"R-Really? Can we?" May asked

"Of course! Why not!" I said

"W-We will! On which address?" Rick asked...

I give a thought...

If I am not mistaken, it is in the forest of South Sera...

"Forest of South Sera..." I said

And the five of them looked surprised...

"W-What's with that face?" I asked

"That is the most expensive area in South Sera... I bet you will like it!" Rick said

"I-Is it?!" Euclio sounds surprised...

"You really make Lerrich-sama happy don't you..." Jay said

"R-Really? I feel like I did nothing..." I said

Yeah, I just do what I have to do... like during the quest of June, I followed Euclio's plan, and it works...

"No! You heal me!" Rin said to me...

"T-That is... exceptional... it is only for you..." I said

And he looks even happier...

I-I really want a puppy now...

Oh wait... I have Rin...

I patted his head and he smiled...

Euclio laughed at me...

"You really enjoy patting Rin!" Euclio said

And I pull my hand back...

Everyone now laughed...

The food came... and we eat the food...

"T-This is the best food I ever taste since I live in Sera!" Jay said

"W-Wow... this is so delicious!" Rick said happily

And the other eat without speaking...

I looked at Monica and she looked really happy...

And I smiled on her...

Then she blushed...

D-Did I do something wrong?

"Nico..." Rick called my name while eating

"Hmm?"

"Just how much do you get from the quest?" Rick asked me...

I feel really bad for telling him

But it is...

"A hundred gold..." I said

And now they stop eating

"I-It was our first Platinum Quest" I said

"T-That is a lot of money! I could stop adventuring for a year!" Rick said

"Maybe I go retired already..." May said

And we laughed...

"We should rank up as fast as we can!" Rick said to his party...

"Yeah! We almost reach silver rank... maybe 2 or 3 more silver quest..." Lisa said

"H-Hey calm down... we are going to relax a bit right?" Kai said

"Nope! How about tomorrow we take a quest and also the day after tomorrow... we will rank up faster..." Rick said

"T-That is true!" Lisa said

T-They suddenly become so energetic...

Then Rick point his hand on me...

"We will raise up! And be a gold party... and we will be your right hand! How about that?" Rick offer

"T-That is a good idea! But remember the priority..." I said

"First..." Euclio said

"Your own live..."

"Second..." Euclio said

"Your party's lives..."

"Third..." Euclio said

"The mission..."

Everyone said in unison...

"H-How can you remember those words?!" I asked to them

I actually forgot about it already...

"That is the wisest thing you ever said..." Euclio teased me...

"Yeah! It becomes the South Sera Adventure Guild's motto now!" Rick said

"I-Is it?!" I asked

And Rick's party nodded...

D-Did I really bring a big impact on this city?

I hope it is a positive impact...

After we eat our dinner, I paid for all of them... and we part after we left the restaurant...

Everyone on the street are watching us while we left the restaurant...

We decided to return to the guild... and hoping that June is not running away...

And...

She is still here!

"W-Wait... should we give her food?!" I said

And she neighed...

"She said 'how dare you forgot about me!' like that..." Rin said

"Umm... let us walk home, and we will buy you food whatever you want on our way back..." I said to June...

She neighed and I feel that she is interested...

"'Are you sure? Everything?'" Rin translated...

I nodded...

And she neighed once more...

"'Agreed!'" Rin said happily...

We meet up with the servant that has waited us in front of the guild...

On our way to our new home... we spent almost 20 silver for June's food...

We stopped multiple times... even the servant looked surprised with the amount of food June has eaten...

And finally, we arrived at our new house...

Before we arrived... we passed a lot of trees... like a forest...

"W-Wow..." I said

It is now a tall house... and in the middle of forest... there is also a river flows near our house...

Also, it has a big yard...

"W-We can practice here!" I said loudly...

"Yeah! Finally!!" Euclio sounds happy as well...

Should I make a house for June?

Maybe I should... Or else, it is bad for her if it was raining

We observed the outside of the house first...

The river is nice... I like the environment here...

The breeze of the wind feels so good...

Aside from the crowd of Sera, there is this peaceful place...

"I could stay here for years now!" I said

The servants looked happy as well...

I enter the house with Euclio...

Rin and Erin have entered first...

I also paid the driver that drive us here... giving a small tip...

"Wow..." is my first word when I entered the house...

"T-This is sure a great place to relax..." I said

When you enter the house, you will see the living room... and it faced the river outside...

The wall that face the river is made of glass... so you can see the outside... but the outside can't see the inside... it is a special glass...

In front of the living room, we have a kitchen...

Also a toilet nearby...

On the second floor, there are two big bedrooms... and a bath...

On the third floor, we have a big bed rooms and two small bedrooms also a bath...

And, the fourth floor, there is a big bed room, and a library...

There are some books there... maybe I will check it out tomorrow...

Also, I put the Advance Tier Holy Magic book on the shelf...

In total, this house has 6 bedrooms... which is a lot...

The first thing we do is take a bath...

"This is heaven..." Euclio said

"It is..." I said during bath

After we took a bath, we decided to take a rest...

And it takes no time for us to sleep...

The next day....

Something hot wake me up....

"What time is it Rin?" I asked Rin... without opening my eyes

Now, I am getting used to it...

"It's 7 AM..." Rin said

I opened my eyes and see Rin hugging me...

"Now, wake him up..." I said while directing my eyes to Euclio...

And he jumped to Euclio...

When Euclio opened his eyes...

"Rin?!?" Euclio shouted

I thought Euclio is a fast learner...

He is smart... but also weird...

"Let's practice!" I said to Euclio

And Euclio looks excited...

It's been days since we last practice our swordsmanship...

The three of us went downstairs... and looked everything has been cleaned by Erin...

"E-Erin... thanks for cleaning!" I thanked her...

"N-No problem... this is my hobby..." she said

I practice my sword with Euclio on the yard... while June is watching us...

While we are practicing... Rin is talking with June... that is cute....

At 9 AM... we decided to go and find a meal for our breakfast...

It took 20 minutes with June to visit the guild....

I guess it is impossible now to walk from guild to our house...

"Let's eat... then, we buy Erin's armor..." I said

"T-That is unnecesary anymore..." Erin said

"Nope... safety first..." I said

"I-If you don't mind, I guess that's okay..." Erin said shyly

We put June near the guild... and walk to the steak restaurant...

And as usual, Monica serve us...

The menu is different from the last time we eat breakfast... this time... it is a noodle... and it taste like ramen! I missed this kind of food!

When I eat the food, I feel like I am crying...

And we have some fruit as well, and juices...

I was thinking... if we got 5 golds each day 5 golds multiple by 30 days..., we got 150 golds per month, which is actually more than I received from Tousan during school...

After we eat our meal, we paid our food, then left to the market...

We visited the same merchant, where Erin saw the armor she wanted... and when the merchant noticed me, he gives me discount...

It was 50 golds... but now it is 40 golds... I save 10 golds... which is quite a lot...

Also, we bought two swords which costed for 10 golds each, which mean, it has a good quality... one for Euclio and the other one for Erin...

"Hmmm do you want an armor?" I asked Rin...

"Nope... I am fine..." Rin said

I never bought anything for Rin...

"Do you want something?" I asked Rin...

"Food?" Rin asked while tilting his head...

Food?! He never thought about anything else huh?

"I-I mean, an equipment... you are going to fight Lerrich-dono... remember that!" I reminded him

And he nodded...

"Then, I need a gauntlet, to make my punch become more powerful..." Rin said excitedly

Now, we are looking for a gauntlet...

"Hey... how about this?" Euclio suggested...

Rin try it on...

"No... it is too light..." Rin said

"How about this?" Erin suggested...

"Hmmm too heavy...." Rin said

"Ummm... this?" I give it to Rin...

And he looked at me speechlessly

"T-This is a knuckle!" Rin said and laughed...

Even the merchant laughed at me...

I don't know the difference...

"Hey! How about this!" Euclio said and give it to Rin

I take a look and it looks like it is made of a strong material...

"Yeah, I like it..." Rin said

"How much is it?" I asked to the merchant...

"For you... the plat adventurer... I give it for 20 golds..." he said

"Okay... I take it..." I said

It is made of silver... strong enough to block a sword attack...

But I doubt that it could hold Lerrich's spear attack... I don't know about the spear that he used and also his technique... maybe we should ask some people in the guild...

We return to the guild... and hang out there...

I talk to several people... even to Petra...

"He is a Master Spear Wielder..." someone said from behind me

We looked back and... it is Jay...

"Jay!" I called his name

"That's me..." Jay smiled

"Where are the other?" I asked....

And he pointed out his finger...

Hmmm I guess they are claiming their reward for today's quest...

"How's the quest?" I asked

"Killing some slimes... it is sticky! But that is the easiest monster..." Lisa said...

She left the line and talk to me...

"Hmmm I see, then..." I faced Jay

"Do you know what style does Lerrich use?" I asked...

"You mean Lerrich? If I am not mistaken, he used Maxim Style..." Jay said

Maxim?! It needs agility right? But he used heavy armor...

"But he used heavy armor" Lisa said in confused...

I nodded as well..

"That is to trick his opponents" Petra said while laughing...

Then, we just got tricked?!

"T-Then, he is a fast?" I asked

"Really fast..." Jay said

"I've seen him fighting against a Master Spear Wielder, which is using a Vareos Style... and Lerrich-sama win without receiving a single attack..." Petra said with amazed voice...

The same master level... but Lerrich win without receiving a single attack...

It is because Maxim Style play his or her spear in a really close range... which mean, it counters both Alice and Vareos Style...

But Vareos Style is a style where the user keep range within his enemy...

Just how can Lerrich win...

But, Rin is a Fighter... he play in close combat as well... which is good for him...

I think this will be an intense duel...

"I think it is because that he used Maxim Style..." Jay said

And everyone nodded...

"Also, he never loses a match..." Jay said...

"Nope! He ever lost once..." Petra said...

And everyone become curious as well...

"Against the tenth... Rueger the Slayer..." Petra said...

Everyone looked amazed...

Except me...

I laughed...

R-Rueger the Slayer?! Is that his title?!

"Ummm Nico?" Lisa looks afraid of me...

I can't just hold it...

He is a kind man but he got a really badass nickname...

"Y-You see... he is just too kind... I think he doesn't fit with the 'Slayer' title..." I said...

And now all of them are looking at me...

Including those who is listening our conversation...

"Kind? What do you mean?" Jay asked...

Petra and Lisa also showed a curious face...

Also everyone around me...

"Ummm, because he is my teacher..." I said

........

"H-Hey! Are you okay?" I asked Petra while waving my hand in front of her...

Everyone still in silent...

Even Rick looked at me speechlessly

"Woaahhhh?!?" Everyone shouted in envy...

"How can you meet him?"

"Is he cool?"

"Tell mee his address?!!"

Everyone is talking to me now...

"H-Hey... calm down..." I said and everyone become quite...

Now... I really have to tell his relation with mine...

"You see... he is my Tousan's friend... and also his bodyguard... so he also taught me a lot in swordsmanship..." I explained...

And everyone starts whispering...

"Who is your Tousan?" Rick asked me...

They don't know?! I thought the news had spread since I am 8 years old...

"He is Clement Maxwell's son..." an adventurer told Rick

"The Archduke's son?" Rick sounds surprised...

"R-Really?! So, you mean, he is Nicolas Maxwell? I never hear him using his family name..."

"I guess he is just a humble boy..."

"Or maybe he is thrown away?"

This point of view from different people makes me laugh actually...

And Jay asked me...

"Are you Nicolas Maxwell?" he asked me...

I let a sigh... I guess it is time to showed them my real name...

So, I nodded...

"See! He has the red eyes! No human race has that..."

"Yeah, but the red eyes is kinda cool..."

I ignore them and return to Euclio...

He let a sigh...

"Maybe someday my secret will be revealed as well..." Euclio said

In this world, if you introduce yourself without your family name, it means that you are not royalty... and I introduce myself without my family name...

So I decided to...

"This boy is Euclio Qiteron! The prince of Qiteron Kingdom!" I said and run away...

After Nico run away...

Everyone in the guild looked at him with their mouth hanged...

"Y-You see... that boy is a bit insan-" before Euclio finished his word

"Hey! He is! Euclio-sama!" an Ocean Race said

"Wow... two royalties become an adventurer..."

"N-No wonder that they are so strong!"

Royalty was expected to be strong... since they are trained by the professional...

When Euclio about to leave... Petra hold his hand...

"Wait..." Petra stopped Euclio...

Rin and Erin had followed Nico already...

"I-I am left behind..." Euclio said

"I-I have a platinum quest for you" Petra said...

And Euclio look at Petra...

"What is it?" Euclio asked...

"I need you to train the adventurer..." Petra said while blushing...

And wait...

Train the adventurer?!

"H-Hey... what do you mean by train?" Euclio asked her...

"The four of you is above the standard in swordsmanship, also witchcraft... that is why, I want you to train the adventurer... that is a direct request from the south head guild..." Petra said

"And what will we get from training them?" Euclio said

"20 silver per adventurer... and you should be in the guild at 6 AM..." Petra said...

"6.30..." Euclio said...

"Okay deal!..." Petra said with happiness...

Both of them shake their hand...

And Petra announce

"From tomorrow until next month, the guild will give you special tutorial from Nicolas Maxwell and also Euclio Qiteron for free! The guild will pay!" Petra announced...

"UWOAHHHHH" a battle cry heard...

Euclio left the guild... and Nico, Rin and Erin waited on June already...

"Hey... what's with the crowd?" Nico asked...

"You see, we got a platinum quest..." Euclio said...

"What is it?" Nicolas asked...

"I hope it is fun!" Rin said

"Train the adventurer for a month..." Euclio said

And the four of us remains silent

"WHAT?!?" Nico said loudly...

"That looks fun!" Rin said

I explained the details during our ride home...

We ride on June... the four of us... June is strong...

She then neighed like she wants to tell us something...

"She said that we need a carriage..." Erin said

"Carriage?" Both Euclio and I in unison...

Hmmm, that is true that we need a carriage... I feel really uncomfortable, when people keep staring at us...

We decided to go and find a carriage shop...

I asked several people and they answered my question without judging me...

It feels much better, living here compared to Auxem...

"Feel much better here?" Euclio asked me after I have similar thought...

I nodded...

"The people here have a lot of respect on you... compared in Auxem, your own town..." Euclio said while smiling

It is a bit ironic

I agree with him... just how strong is Lerrich in this town, that he can control Mera Sect from spreading...

Even Tousan couldn't...

We arrived at a shop that some people has suggested... and when we arrived... a dwarf greeted us...

And when he saw June... he knows that I am Nicolas the person in the town has people has been spoken about lately...

June apparently has her own taste of carriage... so we let her choose on her own...

Her taste is actually pretty good... I like the model of the carriage... it looks like royalty carriage... but also, it is quite big for royalty carriage...

It fits for more than 7 people... it is quite massive...

"Are you sure you can carry this carriage?" I asked June...

And she neighed...

I know from her face that she doesn't want to be underestimated...

"Alright alright... I know you can do it..." I said to June

Rin looked surprised at me... also June...

"Y-You understand her?" Rin asked

"Hmm? No... just predicting... hehe" I said while having a small laugh...

We bought the carriage...

Wait... we don't buy the carriage...

The owner gives it to us freely, but I have to be his sponsor...

So, we put the shop's name on the back of our carriage...

Or else... it could cost for more than 50 golds...

And we don't have 50 golds...

Right now, we only have 20 golds...

I guess we should do some saving...

When the carriage is ready, we attached it to June... and she looks happy...

There might be a chance that she is jealous with other horse that bring the carriage...

"It looks beautiful!" Euclio said

"June?" I asked

And June neighed...

"She said thank you... you can ride me anytime you want Euclio..." Rin translated while laughing...

"Ummm... I mean the carriage..." Euclio said

We laughed but June looks mad...

"S-Sorry June... you are even prettier than the carriage..." Euclio apologize...

And it is almost dinner time...

We decided to find a person who can make a stable for our house... because, we only have a big yard... but no stable... also, maybe a training ground...

We decided to ask help from the soldiers... and they gladly helped us...

I bet Lerrich has ordered his men to serve me for good...

So, we have 10 soldiers building the stable for June, also... we cut some wild grass on our own yard...

"Now... it looks pretty!" I said

After three days, June has her own place to sleep... also we have our own training yard...

I also train with Erin... since we are at the same level... advance tier sword wielding...

While Euclio trained with Rin... both of them are at Master Tier...

Euclio with dual sword and Rin with his gauntlet...

That is some crazy training...

When Erin and I trained ourselves... she never shows her true power...

I am actually curious with what Rin have said...

Rin said that Erin is stronger than himself... while, when I saw Euclio and Rin fight... both of them are equal...

Euclio is extremely talented and strong at the same time... also a genius...

He used dual sword and train on his own... and now, he is in the same level with Master Tier...

"Euclio is sure strong..." Erin said to me...

"Yeah, he is... but Rin could catch up with Euclio's movement... which is usually impossible for normal people..." I said

"Rin is an exceptional as well..." Erin said

"But Rin said that you are the strongest..." I said

And she looked a bit troubled...

I changed the topic...

"W-What do you think for breakfast?" I said

And she laughed at me...

I guess she realize when I panicked...

Also, during these days, I train the adventurer... and we received a lot of golds from the guild...

At the first day, it was only 60 adventurers... on the second day, the number increase to 90 adventurers and this morning... there are around 140 adventurers...

60 plus 90 plus 140 is 290... and 290 multiplied by 20 silvers is 5400 silvers... which is 54 golds...

And it continues even on the day when it's time for Rin fight against Lerrich...

Our name has been really big lately...

There are even some people come to our house to only have a chit chat...

"Are you ready Rin?" I asked Rin...

We are currently in the guild... and the duel start at 2 PM...

"Can we eat first?" Rin asked me...

"S-Sure... where do you want to eat?" I asked him

And as usual, he chooses to eat in the steak restaurant...

Monica is waiting for us already... I think she knows already that we are going to come...

"Welcome! Let me show your table!" Monica said while smiling...

Lately, there are more customer coming to this place...

While we are walking to our table... a lot of people staring at us...

We arrived at our table and sit...

And as usual... it is the VIP room upstairs...

"This time... let me treat you!" Monica said happily...

"R-Reallyy?!" Rin asked happily

And Monica nodded...

"Are you sure?" I asked Monica

"Don't worry.... since both of you come here really often, we got more customer than ever... it brings us a lot of profit! So at least, let me treat you guys..." Monica said

W-We really bring a big impact...

"T-Then! I want two portions of beef steak!" Rin said

T-This boy...

Monica just laughed...

"I order the same thing..." Euclio said

"Okay, two beef steak, one chicken steak..." Monica said

Euclio as usual...

"What is the restaurant specialty?" I asked Monica...

"Hmmm... it is a Lamb Steak! Do you want to try it?" Monica asked me

"I-Is it okay?" I asked

I am afraid that it will be too pricey...

"Of course!" Monica said

"Then, I will try the Lamb Steak as well..." Erin said

Then she nodded...

Monica went downstairs to prepare the food we ordered...

There are several people in the second floor as well...

Some of them come to our table and talks...

Also, some of the customer come only to say good luck to Rin...

After ten minutes... Monica comes with our food...

Rin got two portions... that boy...

"Rin! You should win the duel!" Monica said

"Of course! I will!" Rin said while eating...

T-This boy has no manners at all....

"The Lamb Steak is delicious!" I said

And Euclio tried it...

"Nah, chicken is the best..."

After we ate our lunch, we used June to go inside the inner wall... we are now completely on a different town... I feel like I am back in Auxem...

Also, we use the carriage that we got...

Five minutes passed, and we finally passed the last gate...

The road is cleared by the army when we passed... Lerrich has planned this already...

We passed the last gate and arrived in Seraviel...

"Woah...." the four of us in unison...

The four of us amazed by the fields of flower we passed...

Yellow, red, purple... the flowers were arranged properly... and it looks really beautiful...

I see the pretty mansion as well... but the soldier direct us to the different place...

It is behind the mansion...

I see a circular construction...

An outdoor circular construction... like a colosseum...

We are directed to the main gate... the gate is gigantic...

And when we enter... it is exactly looked like the colosseum in my previous world...

Cheers are everywhere...

The audiences watch us from the bench upstairs while the lower part is where we are right now... the duel arena...

There should be more than fifty thousand people here...

"R-Rin! D-Don't panicked!" I said in panicked

"Huh? I am not..." Rin said with happy face, as always...

"Y-You look pale Nico..." Euclio teased me...

"R-Really? S-Seriously?!" I asked him seriously...

And Euclio nodded...

I never know that I am afraid of crowd...

June then stopped walking...

And someone open the door...

"Nicolas-sama, Euclio-sama, Erin-sama and Rin-sama... please follow me..." A soldier come to greet us...

All of us get down from the carriage... When the people see us, the cheers are getting louder...

We followed the soldier that greeted us earlier, and we are given a seat near the duel arena...

There are four seats... and on the opposite of our direction, we see Lerrich with his black armor and spear on his right hand...

He uses no helmet... it makes us easier to recognize him...

He enters the circle... the circle is the arena to fight, and it is wider than the Auxem School's duel area...

Lerrich raised his hand and this place change from a very noisy place to a very quiet place. All of us is paying attention to him.

"Today, I will have my duel against someone, which is really strong" Lerrich announced...

If I became Rin, I would be dead already by his words...

"A member of South Guild platinum party's.... Rin..." Lerrich shouted

And the crowd give an applause to Rin...

Rin stood up and prepared himself

"Good luck!!" I said to Rin

"Don't worry! I will get this twenty thousand gold for you Nico!" Rin said with determination...

I looked at his face... and I realize, I never seen him this serious...

I believe he is now in pressure...

"No, just make sure you have some fun!" I said to him

"Yeah, we will always be friend whatever the result is" Euclio said with smile...

Rin used his gauntlet...

He looked at us and smiled...

"Thank you..." Rin said

And the three of us looked like an idiot...

I never see him like this... he looks so... m.a.t.u.r.e...

Rin enteres the circle and the applause from everyone can be heard...

And the judge is... Petra?

I see Petra walked into the circle... and stood between both of them...

"I am Petra from the South Guild... and I will act as the judge..." Petra introduced herself...

"Both side please prepare yourself... "Petra said...

I see Lerrich prepared his spear and hold it with one hand... one hand means he used Maxim style, since he has no shield... but there might be a chance that he is a Vareos Style user...

Vareos Style is like Valeon Style but in spear-wielding... they play ultra-defensive...

Also, I see Rin has prepared his stance as well... he is like a Kung Fu master now...

"Both sides ready?" Petra asked

And both nodded...

"Ladies and Gentlemen... we are about to see the greatest fight of the year in Sera... in 3..."

I feel that Rin is a bit nervous...

"2..."

Come on Rin! You should overcome your fear!

"1....."

B-But I realize it's not Rin... it's me now that is nervous!!

"Start!"

Lerrich in an instant rush toward Rin...

But Rin do the same thing like he did in the guild...

He is about to punch the air...

And I was waiting for it...

A green spherical light appeared above his head...

And seeing that Lerrich move in zig zag...

Rin punches the air and an air pressure is created...

The wall on the other side cracked...

Seeing Rin's strength everyone cheers on him even more...

If Lerrich got hit by that, it is the end for him already

But Lerrich has a really fast reflect... and won't be down easily...

Lerrich is still trying to come closer... but Rin is fighting him already...

Rin kick the air and an air pressure was created... then he gives a punch and more punches... creating a lot of air pressure pushing toward Lerrich...

And so far, Lerrich is able to dodge the attack... but Lerrich was pushed back...

At this rate, Lerrich won't be able to touch Rin...

Rin keep punching the air... and Lerrich dodge every attack...

Is this the battle of stamina?

But then Rin stopped...

"W-What's wrong with him?" I asked

"H-He is bored!" Euclio said

I see Rin come closer to Lerrich and Lerrich accept the challenge...

Both come closer and now fight in close combat...

Rin give a punch to Lerrich's head but Lerrich dodge it...

And when Lerrich use the body of the spears to knock Rin... Rin jumped and moved back...

Rin used his kick and jump really fast toward Lerrich...

Lerrich can't dodge it... Lerrich used his spear to block the attack... the pointy blade is now directing to Rin...

"R-Rin!!" I shouted

But Rin grab the blade and pushed the blade downward... and now he stand on the spear, that Lerrich hold...

Lerrich looked surprised... but then he pulled his spear and Rin come closer to give a hit to Lerrich...

Lerrich try to kick Rin... but Rin is a fighter... he is the master of martial art... he jump and now he stand on Lerrich's feet....

Everyone is now cheering for Rin...

Lerrich put down his feet and swing his spear...

Rin moved back and now, Rin is unable to get closer to Lerrich, since Lerrich keep swinging his spear...

Whenever Rin gets closer, Lerrich gives him a warning by swing his spear really close...

N-Now... he is an Alice Style user... he was a Maxim Style user but now he is an Alice Style...

Rin noticed the difference and now he moved back really far and about to punch the air...

Seeing Rin about to give a punch to the air... Lerrich comes closer...

But when Lerrich was running toward Rin... Rin jumped forward toward Lerrich as well using his feet and empowered by the wind element, making it more powerful, and fast....

Rin used his fist and Lerrich has no chance to point his spear...

Instead of pointing his spear... he used the spear's body to block the attack... but still...

The effect of the air pressure from Rin is too big...

Lerrich was pushed really far and about to leave the circle... but he held the knockback by using his spear as a support on his back...

Everyone gives a loud applauds on Lerrich

"T-That is an intense battle..." I said

"Actually, Rin should able to finished it faster..." Euclio said

"R-Really?" I asked

"Yeah... but Lerrich is just... full of experience... he knows what to do... Rin must outsmart him..." Euclio said

Then all of us watched Lerrich...

He then takes off the blade of the spear...

"W-What?!" I said in surprised...

The blade is actually a sword?!

Now... he has a pole on right hand and a sword on his left hand

Everyone is surprised with the sudden change...

Lerrich run toward Rin...

Rin prepare for another punch... and he punch the air...

Lerrich dodge the attack and throw the bladeless spear toward Rin...

Rin parried it with his hand...

And when Rin directed his view toward Lerrich... he is exactly in front of him...

And Rin stopped moving...

Since there is a sword near to his throat...

L-Lerrich movement is so fast!

Lerrich is a spear wielder with Maxim Style... also Alice Style.... and also, a swordsman....

"The winner is Lerrich Ezate!" Petra announced...

And the crowd is getting louder...

Lerrich pull his sword from Rin's throat...

"That is a good match!" Lerrich said

Rin looked upset...

"Yeah, it is... I have to train more..." Rin said

And Lerrich looks pity on him...

"You are already stronger than me... but you need more experience..." Lerrich said

And Rin smiled on him...

The three of us come toward Rin and hugged him...

"A-Are you okay?" I asked Rin...

"Y-Yeah... I'm fine... don't worry" Rin said and hugged me back...

And that is the end of the match...

Rin lost...
