Chapter-80: Valentica Vs Ikuse

Ikuse uses a hammer for his main weapon. Because he has a big physical structure, he can deal with a great amount of hammer blow attack.

The most impressive thing about his state is he has a good defense. Penetrating his dragon skin is almost impossible for an ordinary level weapon.

Ikuse was only 15 years old. He is treated like a baby dragon in his country. After all, dragons are a long-lived race.

According to the dragons strength rank, he is a 3rd class dragon. Yet he can be regarded as a super genius in the society of humanity.

In truth, dragons don't value the talent but experience. Having talent doesn't mean you can become a great person, its experience which is making you truly mature and strong. So that's why they sent Ikuse to gain experience from human society.

Currently, in the arena, he was facing the number one student of the academy Valentica Strada.

In terms of strength, both are almost same. Despite being a child of human Valentica has unusual strength that can match up to 3rd class dragon baby.

Valentica had a very easy time with Leo White. But she couldn't able to penetrate the skin of Ikuse. Not only that she has to defend blows of his heavy hammer.

"Looks like I have to use my special attack."

Valentica muttered.

She was gathering all of her mana into her is a spear. It was a special attack that was improvised by her father after adding the wisdom of Jin Tiger's magic research book.

It was the 10th level magic attack, but Valentica can use up to 7th level.

While doing that she was dodging the blow of Ikuse. She gained more agility than before she enrolled in the academy. It was the result of training with Naruto Uzumaki.

In truth, if it was before Valentica wouldn't have won with Leo White that easily. Because she trained with Naruto she can see a different view than before.

Ikuse also trained with Naruto but he exchanged the blow with sage mood Naruto.

The presence of Naruto made them stronger than before. And both of them understand that quite clearly.

From a defensive mode, Valentica suddenly changed to attacking mode.

That startled Ikuse, he backed away, but Valentica followed him with her aggressive mode and attack him with the spear.

This wasn't any ordinary move, but the magic attack of the spear.

"This is bad, suddenly she becomes aggressive. And those attacks aren't the ordinary attacks."

This time he switched to defensive mode. He is feeling something is coming from her spear.

And to make his worry true Valentica's spear become bright with an azure glow. A phantom of the dragon was created from her spare and crashed on Ikuse.

Ikuse tried to defend with his hand.

"It's too strong."

To his surprise, it was beyond his limit. He couldn't defend it anymore and blast from the stage.

"The winner is Valentica Strada."

The referee announced.

"Man, those two sure become so strong."

It was Shirin who said that to Naruto.

"Yeah, they are talented individual, Dattebayo."

Naruto also complements them by nodding.

"Group of you three is monsters. Just how do you guys training?"

The relationship between her and Naruto meltdown long ago. They talk to each other now like a casual friend.

"Hard work I guess, those two really compassionate into their training."

Naruto replied honestly.

"Really, I think I should tag along with you guys from now on in the training session."

She said with a wink.

"Well, you are welcome to join our training session."

"Hmm... Ok, I will."

Saying that cheerfully continued with a careful voice,

"By the way about your fight with Gauch, how do you feel as his opponent? I have an idea that you guys have grudge from the past."

"Yeah, we do have some grudge before. But that doesn't mean he is taking revenge on me. However, even if he does that I will take that match as another PVP battle, nothing more nothing less."

Naruto replied her.

"I don't think you will lose. But still, I will say you to be cautious of him. He has changed from before, he does not even interact with us anymore. Something strange going around with him. So we won't be surprised even if he shows us some ridiculous new trump card."

She gave him honest advice.

"OK, I will. Thanks for worrying about me."

Naruto thank her with a smile.

"No, you misunderstand me. It's not like I-I am worried for you or anything."

Naruto tilted seeing her sudden tsundere mode.

***

For Naruto's last battle of the test, he was waiting for his opponent.

He heard that Gauch didn't attend a single fight today. All of his opponents got default victory. Except for Naruto and Leo white company everyone already accepted that he will not arrive today.

"Well, 20 seconds left for the deadline if Gauch cannot arrive by then Naruto Uzumaki will be announced as a Victor by default."

The referee announced by watching his watch.

But when it's 10 seconds left the face of Gauch was visible in the arena.

For some reason, his gaudy appearance changed from before. And his eyes were hollow.

"Gauch Nepolia, hurry up and prepare for the fight."

The referee ordered him.

"Yeah, yeah, I will do that you don't have to tell me that."

Almost a disrespectful voice came out from his mouth. But referee ignores that with great skill. Because students like him exist. And it won't help if he make conflict with them now. It will just waste the valuable time of his.

After standing opposite side of Naruto, he said,

"Yoh! Naruto Uzumaki good to see you in great shape. Because I want to twist your shape into a broken dummy."

Gauch gave a nasty laugh.
