Dark Magus Returns-Novel

Chapter 142 The one I want

There were too many shocking things happening on the stage at once, and most of the fights occurring closest to the guests and the main clans' disciples were Dame's, along with the others.

At the very back, this was where Raze was going against Ossep, the main disciple of the Moon Shield Clan. The Yellow headband students could witness what was going on the most.

After the first attack had been blocked, Raze didn't stop as he continued for a while. Ossep, being skilled, was able to continuously block them all, and he was waiting for the right time, for an opening. There would eventually be one, he would eventually tire, right?

'All I need to do is just get one hit on him, and this fight will be over!'

The sword was then lifted into the air, above his head, and that was when Ossep saw his chance. With the Qi gathered in his fist, he went for a strike. Right at that moment, Raze lifted his foot, and slammed it to the ground with his Qi outward.

The Yellow students sitting at the front could feel the power of the Qi. This was the first descending step. The uneasy Qi had disrupted the flow of his strike, and it had given Raze just enough time to strike with full force.

'I need to cut the skin, so it's not too bad if I use just a little bit of my magic here right? After all, you guys were the ones who almost killed me in that forest!' Raze thought.

Wind magic had gathered around the edge of his sword ever so slightly. He knew that Charlotte was watching and she was perhaps the only one who would figure out he had used his magic.

However, he had carefully selected his position at the start of this fight for this very reason.

Ossep had braced himself as he took the strike from the wooden sword. What he didn't expect was for it to be just as sharp as an actual sword. It ripped right through his skin, creating a big cut and causing quite a bit of pain.

'It… it cut me… he managed to cut me?' Ossep was filled with confusion at that moment. Startled by the cut. Startled by the strength of his opponent, he had panicked, and before he knew it, a two-step punch with the shift of his feet, it had gone right towards the chest of Ossep.

A crack was heard, as part of the bones protecting the chest broke. Blood filled Ossep's mouth slightly, and eventually he had fallen onto the ground.

With one hand, Raze had summoned the statue, carefully blocking it with the sword, and smearing part of the blood on the statue. In one smooth motion he had placed it away as well.

The only onlookers, the only ones that had seen Ossep's defeat, were the Yellow headband students and teachers that were closest.

One of the students was shaking slightly. 'What was that feeling, that power that came off from his foot. What was that technique, and how much Qi does this guy have?'

"Did you see he cut him, he cut him with the blunt wooden sword. What sword technique was that he used."

"Hey are you guys forgetting something? That's a Blue headband student right there. He managed to just beat one of the main disciples, in around a minute. What the heck just happened!"

The realization was hitting everyone at this point. Even the main leader of the Moon Shield Clan, Gavin, had stood up from his seat, and he started to inch forward.

"Am I… dreaming or something? This has to be some type of trick right? Ossep couldn't have been defeated, he'll get up… he'll get up."

"Oh, even before I forget." Raze said as he turned around, and kicked Ossep's body until it slid and fell off the stage. "That's one down."

One of the rules of the event, was if a student went out of bounds, that it would also count as a loss, and now it meant that Ossep was unable to make it back in the fight.

'You should be thankful that's all you get. All of you were willing to leave me for dead back there. If I was a student with no magic powers. I would have truly died falling off that cliff. I'm not naive enough to think that none of you had a clue what Mada was doing.' Raze thought, turning back around.

With one down, he now had to focus on another.

Teacher Lee stood there with his mouth open wide, while the Blue headband students couldn't help but cheer in amazement at what they were seeing. Because it wasn't just Raze that was doing well, but all of them were performing their best, and it looked like they were putting up a fight.

Before, they thought that the main disciples were going easy on them, but after seeing Raze win his fight, was that the case? Some thought that perhaps, it was just luck. His opponent had underestimated Raze, and in doing so had left a lot of openings.

If that was the case, then they would still take it, because in the real world it wasn't an excuse to take it easy on your opponent. So they knew the main disciples wouldn't be able to use that as an excuse.

Dame had continued to use what he would consider his sloppy sword skills against both Sherry and Ricktor, but something had happened. When Dame went to do the same trick as he had done before, interrupting the skill at the right time, Ricktor had avoided the strike and he quickly used his sword skills from the right side.

"The defining swipe!" Ricktor whispered to himself, his sword going right for the side of Dame's head.

Before it reached though, he lifted his hand and knocked it away, jumping back a few times.

'Damn it, I can't believe I had to use my hand-to-hand skills against a stage 3 warrior.'

Dame was not a swordsman, he always preferred fighting with his fists, but he thought his lazy skills with the sword would have been enough to take on these guys, so he was quite surprised by the result.

"If that was a real sword your hand would have been sliced off and your head sliced in half." Ricktor said with a smile.

"And if this was a real fight I would have punched you to the moon." Dame sighed, as he was finding it quite hard to hold back.

——

Safa was continuing to fight against the puzzled Mada, and Teacher Lee was quite impressed with her relentless skills. Due to her opponent she was able to show a number of different techniques.

One of them in particular, she had thrusted her spear forward, and then in a swirling motion she spun it around in circles towards Mada.

He jumped back, flipping himself several times avoiding the spear, and just then he had nearly jumped off the edge. He saw the spear coming towards him again and with nowhere to run he had no choice as he grabbed the spear.

He held it firmly in his hand. Safa was trying to pull, push or move it to the side but it just wasn't budging.

'What was I thinking, right now, not just Gunther, but our father is watching us as well.' Mada thought to himself. 'I can't look pathetic in front of them! I would rather die!'

Lifting his leg up, it flowed like a wave and crashed right into the spear breaking it in half. Safa, she was confused with what to do, as she saw Mada coming right for her. When he was close, he threw a Qi filled kick.

She braced herself, and felt a tug right on her back. She was pulled away, and the kick had hit nothing but the air. She was confused, she hadn't moved herself yet she was watching the kick go by.

Right after that, she felt a strong force again pushing her, she stumbled and fell right off the side and was out of the arena. Turning around she could see Raze was there with his palm out.

"Do you remember what I said to you?" Raze asked as he looked at Mada right in the eye, who was hesitant to attack and had jumped back. "I am the one who hunts, and I'm going to be taking out every single one of you, especially you!"
