Book 1: Chapter 80: Sizing up the Team Part I

Scarlet

By the time I reach the training hall, all three of them are already inside, along with Sylver for some reason and some random dude. One that I dont recognize.

Each of the five are wearing the very same type of armor just like what Allen wears for combat but with varying colors and different cores at the center. Which I believe is the regular magi-tech armor available to the members of the Association for a very large discount.

Ah, looks like shes here! Michael says, bringing the unknown guys gaze to me, Sylvers having already been locked on me from the moment I opened the door. And judging by the mana I can sense from the unknown guy, he is stronger than Sylver but still weaker than Allen.

Class III maybe?

Youd be correct, Tar answers me.

Cool. I think Im getting better at this sensing stuff.

Michael gestures to the guy and introduces him, This guy is an instructor from Lions Heart. One responsible for tutoring us. And he heard that youd be here today, so he decided to stop by and watch.

Oh.

I give him a brief nod, Hello.

He nods back without a word.

Guess if he wont be giving his name Ill just call him instructor guy.

I hear Tar snorting in the back of my mind, but I ignore him as I glance at Sylver, only for him to wave me off and say, Im here for your training. Not theirs. You can thank your parents.

Guess the instructor guy isnt holding back.

The guy suddenly swipes his hand horizontally in front of him, sending what looks like an arc of wind straight at Michael, likely to test out Michaels defense. And the arc is effectively blocked by one of the trees before a green energy covers the creature and the instructor guy winces slightly with a vague look of surprise on his face.

Thorns? Sylver mutters, somehow having gotten close to me as I find him standing right next to me as we watch the fight. Interesting. Dont see that every day.

Thorns? I ask, hoping for more information.

He answers without looking at me, Thorns is a type of effect where when damage is done to something, it is magically returned back to the one who originally dealt the damage. Although in this case, Artorius is just too strong for the thorns to have mattered.

Oh. Interesting.

And instructor guys name is Artorius?

I focus on the fight again to find Artorius once again sending an arc of wind, albeit this time a much stronger looking one, at Michael. And this time it cuts straight through the arm or rather branch of the tree used to block it and strikes Michael in the side, sending him flying a few meters in the process. He then immediately begins to heal his wounds with the same green magic he used on me once before getting back up without any problems.

Interesting.

Certainly some rather versatile skills there. Although I very much prefer my own up close and personal method of fighting.

He shows us a couple other skills such as one to wrap himself up with an armor made from tree bark, which doesnt look very pleasant, along with one to do something that I have no idea what is doing. Just that his eyes and the eyes of the hawk are both glowing green.

Maybe some sort of shared sense skill between him and his summon? Or something like that?

After that though, the bout ends and he begins walking back to us, with Denise rushing over to the ring after him.

Time to see this inferno magic then.
