The Rise Of The Seeker
Duel #1

The arena had been filled with spectators consisting of disciples as well as a separate room for teachers. Protective magic has been activated in case something unexpected happens.

Alzent wore protective clothing, took out a sword and stepped into the arena where everyone shone 'Boo' on him. Well Alzent also did not care much about it, he just wanted this matter to be quickly resolved before the left part of his body changed back. He was also still confused as to why his body had returned to its original state when leaping out of the window, but there was no point in thinking about that for now. The duel is waiting.

As soon as Gerald came out in his full protective suit only to show off because he happened to be from an important noble family in the kingdom, the entire audience cheered his name, making Gerald's smile even wider.

"Well, on this day the holy duel will begin where Gerald against Alzent. The strong survive, may luck be on your side!" the host is also a student.

10, 9, 8. A number is created from illusion magic on the arena.

"There's Alzent's last words?" ask Gerald condescendingly.

"I hope you don't regret it" he replied confidently.

"Start!"

Without buying time, Gerald directly used high-level magic, the 'Fire Burning Dragon' fire magic that was shaped like a dragon and could be controlled or attack automatically as if alive.

"Woahh, Gerald directly used high-level magic! Isn't that a little overkill for someone like Alzent?" the host made one arena laugh.

"Did you hear him Alzent? Nobody's on your side, why don't you just give up and bow down before me?" bargain Gerald.

Alzent clasped his sword tightly "In your dream"

Gerald snorted and directed his fire dragon, as well as creating two large fireballs which he launched into the air then broke into medium-sized flames raining down on the arena.

Alzent was quite troubled to avoid the attack of the fire dragon and the rain of fire, but he managed to get through it all without being hit in the slightest. Gerald became a little panicked, but managed to master the situation by bringing out a burst of fire from under Alzent and attacking him in the air using the fire dragon "Haha, keep running Alzent, make this duel even more interesting"

"Sad" Alzent jumped several times to the back, taking some distance from Gerald. He already knew what magic the man would cast, Alzent only needed the right time to attack him without being provoked by emotion or it could be that everyone in the arena would end.

"What's up Alzent? Just realized I was too strong for you? Ahaha!! Unfortunately you can't run anymore, I'll play with you as much as you can!"

A burst of flames reappeared under Alzent. As expected, Gerald again used his dragon to attack while in the air, therefore Alzent accidentally let himself exposed to a burst of fire so that the dragon attack did not hit him. If it was just a burst of flames alone, Alzent could still withstand the heat. Then quickly moved around avoiding the bursts of fire from under the increasingly random arena, a sign Gerald had started to panic.

"Don't expect you to come any closer!" Gerald fired several palm-sized fireballs that shot quickly to the point of being difficult for the eye to catch, but Alzent could easily slash through them all, getting closer to Gerald.

The crowd that had been cheering for Gerald was now silent at the ability of Alzent without using any magic. Many wondered how he could move so quickly without using magic?

Gerald uses his fire dragon to block Alzent as he moves away and feels Alzent has finally gotten into the trap of "Huh! End your history!" A huge pillar of fire formed from the top of the arena where Alzent stood, burning the charred place without any remains including Alzent.

As soon as Gerald would smile happily, a voice sounded in his ear "Don't be too happy, I'm still alive"

"How am I safe? Of course by moving" replied Alzent.

"So all this time you've had teleportation magic?" ask Gerald to panic.

"Teleportation magic? I can't use magic at all, this speed I get by training every day in the forest, facing various kinds of monstrous monsters that won't give you a chance to breathe. You want to kill me with such weak intentions? You better stop than embarrass yourself further"

Gerald's countenance changed completely, he looked very angry to have been humbled by Alzent, by someone who was always bullied by him, someone who should have been weak and had nothing "Sacred Fire Ring"

5 Rings of fire appeared behind Gerald, spinning quickly ready to cut Alzent into pieces "You should be proud of me until I have to take out the style that I have been keeping, die for the honor"

"Woahh!! Gerald had just used top-tier magic that only The Legion should have!"

The rings shot out rapidly from various directions. Sweat began to appear on Alzent's forehead, he felt it would not be easy to fight these rings without using a little more of his strength "Sial, inevitably"

As soon as the rings would reach Alzent, an energy burst occurred accompanied by a reddish aura, then the rings shot through the explosion and back behind Gerald who had laughed loudly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Just as Gerald was about to turn around, he was already thrown away, losing his focus so that his fire rings disappeared. He stood up, looking at Alzent. Fear begins to overwhelm her "Who are you really?"

"I? Alzent" in an instant was already in front of him, strangling Gerald's neck "Someone who is always being completely bullied by you" then thrown across the arena, crashing into the wall to a severe crack.

The entire arena fell silent at the sight just now. Alzent who was so weak turned out to hold so much power even without magic. They started to fear Alzent because if without magic it was that strong, what if using magic?

"Didn't you want to take my life?" just a step away, Alzent was already in front of Gerald "Come on, I've been waiting for him. I warned you anyway, so don't regret it"

Just as Alzent was about to kick him, a huge lightning bolt struck from a magic circle, forced to jump quite far back.

Several senior disciples appeared before him, ready to fight "Today your opponent is us" their leader said with both arms electrified.

The arena returned to the scene with the 'Kill' statement'

"It's against the rules! The teachers will intervene in the face of this" Alzent explained.

"You're wrong, it's the teachers who asked us to take care of you. Someone who uses a strange power like you has absolutely no right to be inside the Academy!"

Alzent is forced to evade the 5th combined attack of the student who seems to really want to kill Alzent seeing that he is not given a chance to breathe at all.
