Chapter 262 Round two... Part-2.

In any battle or duel, the first attack you use shows your capabilities and combat knowledge.

The situation in each battle is always different, so the first move you make should always be powerful for that unique situation.

Carrying out a devastating first attack and dealing heavy damage in one go is an excellent strategy that many ʼawakenersʼ use.

Not only does it make the opponent feel intimidated, but it also establishes your dominance, thus giving you a psychological boost.

Whenever two ʼawakenersʼ fight, they not only clash with their physical bodies; they also experience a psychological clash.

In the end, the one who can maintain their calm and think more rationally to counter the situation emerges victorious.

All this is just basic knowledge that every ʼawakenerʼ learns by instinct.

The more battles you fight, the sharper your senses become, and the better you perform against stronger enemies.

Using a ʼwrong first moveʼ can lead to devastating damage and can lead to your defeat..

…

*3..2..1! Fight!*

[Basic Non-attribute Magic: Mana Shield!]

Fadeʼs first move was to cast a ʼMana Shieldʼ.

This would have been an excellent first move against regular swordsmen, as it would have ensured the mageʼs safety.

Mages are much more fragile than warriors; after all, itʼs always good to keep a strong shield up all the time.

But thatʼs only true for ʼordinaryʼ swordsmen.

Fadeʼs first mistake in this battle was to lump Rio together with other swordsmen.

He forgot just how insanely fast Rio could swing his sword.

*Clink*

Before Fade could complete his ʼMana Shieldʼ, the Rio figure blurred, and a sword appeared right above Fadeʼs wrist.

Fadeʼs eyes widened in shock as he desperately tried to dodge, but it was futile.

In an instant, Rio swung his sword downward and split Fadeʼs wrist.

Blood flowed out of Fadeʼs severed arm like a fountain and painted the ground red in an instant.

”Ahhhh!”

Fade lost his wand along with his dominant hand, and he groaned loudly due to the pain.

(He hasnʼt raised his pain resistance as he was too focused on investing in his talent…)

Without the wand, Fadeʼs magic lost a lot of effectiveness.

In a desperate attempt to survive, Fade raised his other arm toward Rio.

[Intermediate Fire Magic: Ray of dominating fire!]

A massive ray of fire magic was fired at Rio in an instant.

Because Fadeʼs magic proficiency was high, the color of the fire was dark blue, indicating that it was extremely lethal.

But Rio simply used his ʼDarkwing Movement Artʼ to move out of the way in an instant.

Without waiting for Fade to react, Rio appeared beside him, swung his sword at his chest, and made a massive cut on Fadeʼs chest.

[Elemental Sword Art: Fire type: Rising dawn!]

The impact from that attack was so strong that Fadeʼs body flew away like a cannonball and collided with the barrier at the edge of the field before stopping.

Rioʼs attack was merciless; that sword swing broke the whole ribcage and damaged many of Fadeʼs internal organs.
At that point, Fade was barely conscious.

Rioʼs eyes flashed with disappointment as he saw Fade losing so easily.

ʼIs this guy really a protagonist? Donʼt protagonists usually like to turn a hopeless situation around?... Come on, show me what you got.ʼ

Just when Rio was getting more and more disappointed at Fade, a huge amount of mana started to condense around Fade.

With his trembling hands, Fade barely cast a spell.

[Basic Healing Magic: Quick Heal!]

To Rioʼs surprise, Fade was able to use healing magic despite not being a healer himself.

The entire audience, including the SS-rankers, was shocked at this sudden turn of events.

*Amazing! Just when he was about to lose, Fade revealed an amazing trump card! He can use healing magic!*

In this world, learning a skill from another ʼclassʼ is an extremely difficult task.

It actually depends entirely on luck.

Not even geniuses like Link can go and learn the skills of a different class so easily.

Itʼs not that Link canʼt use swords like Rio; itʼs just that he doesnʼt have the ʼsword aptitudeʼ, His aptitude is in martial arts, and if he tries to learn swordsmanship, he wonʼt be able to go too far.

Usually, no one wastes their time trying to learn the skills of other classes, as it will hinder their own classʼs progress.

Instead of wasting time on a skill that will take decades to improve, itʼs much better to work on your own talent.

This is such a basic level of knowledge that even elementary school kids in this world are familiar with it.

Only ʼluckyʼ people who are born with more than one aptitude try to follow this path.

Still, learning the skills of some other class wonʼt change your own class at all, and there are no real benefits to it.

But some people still try to do it.

And Fade is one such person.

With the help of the system, adding a few more aptitudes is not a big deal for him.

He invested in learning healing magic because he wanted to heal himself whenever the need arose.

…

Rio remained motionless, determined to discover the number of Trump cards this ʼprotagonistʼ possessed.

He wanted to measure the depths of what it meant to be a protagonist.

While Rio waited, Fadeʼs severed arm grew back, and his wand flew back towards him on its own, using basic wind magic to make it fly back to him.

With great difficulty, Fade stood up once again, and a look of fear and hatred appeared on his face.

ʼJust you wait! Once I become stronger, I will pay this humiliation back!ʼ

While Fade was glaring at Rio, Rio was also contemplating something in his mind.

ʼHmm, basic healing isnʼt really a power skill; it barely heals you, and the regeneration it gives is slow. He likely hasnʼt fully healed yet…ʼ

Rioʼs perception of healing magic was already broken, as he had seen Riya use healing magic.

In front of Riyaʼs healing magic, Fadeʼs magic seems half-baked and too inefficient.

Riya would have only needed 1/100th of her mana to do the same amount of healing that Fade just did right now.

Seeing that Rio wasnʼt moving, Fade decided to attack first.

He pointed his wand towards Rio and cast magic.

[Intermediate Fire Magic: Ray of Dominating Fire!]

Fade was using this spell again, as it was the fastest spell he had in his arsenal. Other spells were strong, but they were equally slow.

Before Fadeʼs attack could even land on Rio, Rioʼs devilish whisper sounded in Fadeʼs ears.

”Is this all you have? How disappointing…”

Before Fade could react, Rio swung his sword horizontally, nearly splitting Fade in two.

[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder Type: Horizontal Shift!]

Rio could have instantly killed Fade if he hadnʼt held back during the extremely fatal attack.

”Ahhhhh!!”

As Fade fell to the ground while screaming, his internal organs started to spill out of the massive wound.

Fortunately for him, the teleportation circle appeared just on time and teleported him away.

This marked Rioʼs victory.

*And with the final blow! Rio Flash is the victor!*

From the start of the match to the end, barely five minutes had passed.

This implies that Fade barely lasted five minutes, and the match concluded before the spectators could comprehend the events.

Rio shook his head in sheer disappointment and started to leave.

ʼEven Arner performed much better than this guy… This guy seems like a ʼfake protagonistʼ to me, actually…ʼ

While fighting yesterday, even Arner amused Rio more than Fade, but today was a total disappointment.

In the first place, not to mention ʼsword intentʼ, Rio didnʼt even get to use a single buff during the whole fight.

…

VVIP Area.

Ryul shook his head and said,

”This kid, heʼs really strong… Other students canʼt even keep up with him…”

Hearing Ryulʼs words, Ashtel nodded his head and said in a calm voice,

”Indeed… Today, the match was over in ten minutes, and todayʼs match didnʼt even take five minutes…”

Baneas, the dwarf representative, also nodded his head and said in a solemn tone,

”Even during Arnerʼs fight, he never even used his ʼsword intentʼ…”

As things were just too one-sided, all SS-rankers couldnʼt help but sigh.

They were already expecting Link to perform overwhelmingly well, but seeing Rio dominating the field like this was really unexpected.

Ryul sighed and said,

”Unless he meets someone strong next, his amazing winning streak will keep going…”

Ashtel nodded his head and spoke in a serious tone.

”I wonʼt be surprised if Rio made it to the finals without facing much difficulty… Aside from Link and Liam, I donʼt see anyone winning against him…”

Other SS rankers couldnʼt help but nod their heads at those words.

They didnʼt want to discredit their own candidates, but itʼs also impossible to ignore the truth.

...

…

Authorʼs Note.

Yo! Itʼs your beloved author here!

I know the chapter seemed boring, right? Well, it was intentional.

I want to show how bored Rio is feeling from this fight, so cut me some slack if you feel that this was a waste…

Question of the day.

Who would you rather fight?

1. Rio (Unless you are Fade or someone strong, he will simply knock you out by hitting you with the back of his sword, you wonʼt suffer much…)

2. Link (Unless you are Fade or someone strong, he will knock you out in a single attack to the back of your neck…)

3. Liam (Unless you are Fade or someone strong, he will give you the chance to surrender…)

4. Lia (She will respect your determination to fight and will blast massive holes in your body with her sword…)

By the way, donʼt forget to use those power stones and also leave a review if you like the story. Comment your opinion about the chapter. Your support is my motivation.
