After that rude encounter with Leo. I tried to analyse the art but it was hard.
"Comeback later. Empty your mind for now", Kalatuz said and then i came out of the inner and headback to the dorm.
"Huh, where were you Aethel?? Went on a date with Sia.", paul asked.
"No practicing as i kept my weapons bag and proceeded to draw on the paper."
The first blue print is of a grappling gun. And painted it and then the next was a hidden blade which was commonly usedin my previous world.
"What the hell are you drawing??", Paul asked.
"Don't worry about it. ", I said and then send it to Juni for her to make it.
"By the way a rather heavy package came for you", Paul said and i immediately went and opened it.
The heavy braces were there. I then immediately took my shirt of and wore the heavy shirt and the hand braces.
"What you are going to wear this??",he asked.
"Yeah, don't worry about it.", I said.
"Sure", he replied and then i carried on my daily life.
During the morning I run about 50 km and then do 500 squats, push ups and other exercises.
"Are you alright you look tired?"Sia asked me.
"No worries I am fine", I said smiling at her but she still looked worried.
"Alright kids due to some unseen event the dungeon trial is postponed to 2 months but ow you are going to have a tournament where anyone who wins will get a chance to get a spirit bone ." Said Kassandra.
"Ahh spirit bone"a lot of people murmured.
A spirit bone is from a animal which gives the user skill which is very beneficial for them. I should try to win this.
"Alright line up.", said Leo .
"The first match will be between Aethel Vs Ron."he announced.
So he really hold grudges huh, i thought.
For a staff user a person with a bull or a strength type spirit will become a problem but for me who has a dragon soul it will be not.
As i go up on the stage, Roan says something to me "Give up just cause you became first doesn't mean you will win against me".
At this point I was a angry and summoned my staff I thought i would have end the fing early with my dragon claw but it seems he needed a beating.
"Ready start."Leo said.
As he immediately rushed towards me i dodged and i did it continuously to annoy him.
"Stop running away like a coward and fight me." He screamed.
"Alright", I said.
[Supreme dragon thrust]
It immediately broke his stance and send him flying for about a 100m.
"How is that possible??" Everyone murmured.
"Is it done ?"i looked at Leo.
Annoyed as he has lost his attenp to humiliate me he said "Aethel Vox wins".
I then went down on the ground and sat at my usual place.
"Nice you put that son of a bitch in his place", Paul said. I smilled
As i then again entered my realm and started to analyse the claw technique.
"Now Aethel Vs Mina Franz" Leo announced.
I then came out of my inner realm and started to walk towards the stage again.
"I have heard a lot about you but now that i see I will definitely lose."she said.
Yea her intuition is what makes her scary.
" If you don't give your all how can we say that I will win??" I asked.
"I know that even if we fight i will never be able to defeat you at this points but as they say trying never hurts." She replied.
"Alright are you guys ready then start", Leo announced.
She then emerged a wall full of ice and shot ice flance towards me.
Then I drew my flying knives and broke them then i saw a ice hill form infront of me I then turned my hand and converted into a dragon hand and used my dragon claw to break it.
"What the hell happened to his hand."everyone murmured.
Then Sia asked Paul,"Did you know about this???"
He said,"after exam he just wore a glove and then on I have never seen him take it off."
Then i immediately rushed towards her as she threw ice lance at me and then used her auxilliary tool which slowed me.
Then she made a weapon with the ice and tried to slash me
"Thhh"it broke .
I then immediately punched her in the guts and threw her on the grew.
"Will you admit defeat?", I asked.
"Yea. I admit defeat."she said.
"Aethel Vox wins" Leo announced.
Then i came down from the area and sat down and turned my hand into a normal hand again.
"I didn't know you could do that man that's sick", paul said.
"I still have a few trump cards left up my sleeve."I said to Paul.
"Show me your hand."Sia said to me angrily.
"Why???", i asked .
"Just show me"she said.
As i show her my hand she took of my right gloves which turned my hand again into a draconic hand.
"Does it hunt??", she asked.
"No it doesn't. It's my blood line. I will soon be able to control it so don't worry about it.", I said to her.
She then wore me the glove again and said ,"if it hurts tell me?? Alright."
She looked at me as if she was in pain as well.
Her face at that point overlapped with her. The woman i loved but failed to safe. My heart was beating but it was sadness.
"Alright don't worry i will tell you"as i showed her a fake smile and took my arm.
After a fight or two Leo announced that the tournament will continue tomorrow we all can go and rest ourselves.
...
"So how was it??" Ms Penrose asked.
"About what?", Leo looked at her annoyingly.
"Your attempt at humiliating Aethel. Failed right.",she said.
"Nhhhh fine you win yes I tried to humiliate him and failed and yes i misjudged him." Leo said while avoiding her eye contact.
"Don't worry you are still a Rookie you will learn one day", Penrose teased Leo.
"You know why don't you two get married already." Orion said.
"Don't even think about it. I confessed to her but she wouldn't accept it." Leo said.
"When the time is right I will. The moment you stop taking everything at face value I will marry you." Penrose said which made Orion laughed even more.
...
"Sir young master has taken the first place and defeated Mina Franz" , said a hooded man.
"Yes good. But it is still not enough. He still needs to prove himself so that he can inherit this company and stop him from emerging.", said Eugenis.
"Alright sir should I continue." The hooded man asked.
"No need help will figure his own future out." Eugenis replied.
"Alright sir", and the hooded man and disappears.
