《A king's reincarnation》[2]Chapter 35: Test Combat
Advertisement
I finally came back at the training grounds with the two in tow. I could feel the presence of the students heading this way. The three of us walked back to the table where my siblings are seated at. Kagami was looking around restlessly, looking back and forth at the knights and maids around us, while Tanya was just simply astonished by what she's seeing.
" Hmm? Oh you're back! that was pretty quick!"
"Lily onee-chan, Big bro is back!"
Klee and Klei ran to Lily to inform her of my return.
"I'm back, aneki."
"Oh? that was quick...Hmm? so these two are the adventurers that you spoke of?" said Lily as she scanned my two subordinates.
Tanya and Kagami bowed their heads and introduced themselves."
"Good day to you two, You two must be the adventurers that my little brother travelled with for 8 months. My name is Lily Von Elune, and as his older sister and the first princess of Elune kingdom, allow me to sincerely thank you." Lily held out her right hand to Kagami and Tanya.
"Ah no, we just did our jobs, in fact, we should be thanking your little brother instead as he also taught us many things." Tanya replied with a noble tone of voice.
"The way that both of you move and speak is really refined, are both of you perhaps... nobles?" This time, it was vincent's turn to speak. Tanya and Kagami looked at him with slightly confused looks on their faces.
"Ah, sorry I forgot. My name is Vincent Re Elune, 1st Prince of Elune, and Lucas' older brother."
When Vin introduced himself, the two also greeted him the same way they greeted Lily.
"We are just mere commoners, Prince, we've only learned to speak this way because of your little brother."
"I see, it looks like royalty will remain the qualities of one, no matter which environment they are placed at. As expected of my brother! hahaha!" Vincent flashed me a thumbs up.
"Ms.Lily, I have arrived with the heroes." Geni, who went out to fetch the students came back, and behind her are 40 students who are currently the center of everyone's attention. All of them looked nervous since there are so many eyes of strangers directed at them.

snap!*
I snapped my fingers loud enough for the students to hear even through the noise. The moment they looked at my direction, all of them showed relieved looks on their faces.
"Oh? Let me handle this one." Famah suddenly stood up and went into a certain spot. All the knights at that spot dispersed their seats and tables, making a huge vacant spot. She raised her left hand and began chanting.
[TREE MAGIC: MATERIALIZATION!]
All of a sudden, a huge block of wood magically appeared out of nowhere and started materializing itself as a huge table with 62 chairs. Tanya, Me, and the Students widened our eyes, while Kagami's jaws almost touched the ground.
"T-T-Tree magic..."
"Whoaa, that looked awesome!!"
"Will we be able to also do those kind of things!?"
The students who were amazed by the performance just now started to ask Famah questions, which in turn, was answered by her happily. Kagami also joined them as if he reverted back to being 17.
"So this is what a different world is like huh..." Tanya spoke up while surprise still lingered on her face.
"We'll just have to get used to it." I replied to her while watching the students have fun.
The celebration became livelier, all kinds of entertainment shows were performed, there are also many foods served, enough to fill everyone's stomach. Kagami and Tanya seemed to be getting along well with the generals, commanders, and Immortal Blades, as their atmosphere are filled with laughter. Although Tanya and Kagami still has their guards up which is pretty normal, they aren't forgetting to have fun themselves. Meanwhile, I'm here at the other side of the table, showing Klee and Klei all kinds of illusionary tricks that I know of, while Lily is staring at the three of us in an attempt to figure out how my tricks works.
"Oh? So you guys learn those so called strengthening of the physical body through natural means called 'Martial arts' huh, to be honest, I don't know how it works, at first, it shows some results, but after a while, you will just suddenly stop progressing. Your strength and speeed stops growing, that's why around 99% of humans prefers to practice the Body enhancement magic." The conversation at the other side of the table suddenly became all about combat. When Tanya heard one of the Generals' opinion, she immediately replied to him.

"That's because you reached your bottleneck, when you reach it, you have to go through a breakthrough, and that breakthrough is something that most people can't achieve even until they die of old age. That's why, only a little amount of people are capable of showing immense fighting capabilities using it."
"I see, from your words, it looks like you are one of those few people who managed to achieve this so called 'Breakthrough', may I have a little sparring with you, miss?" asked the General.
"I don't mind, but-"
"Go ahead."
Tanya's words got cut off when she heard my reply. She turned around and saw me behind her carrying the two twins at both my shoulder.
"Lucas, can I also have a go?" Kagami, who was enthusiastically chatting with Enka just now asked me if he could also fight.
"Do as you like, look around if there's someone who wants to have a go with you."
"I'll have a go with this young lad, I want to see just how powerful these adventurers are." General Luwin stood up from his seat.
The moment the match ups has been decided, the knights dispersed immediately, creating a new large vacant spot. Famah used her magic once again to construct an arena with the size of a basketball court.
"Kagami, Tanya." I called out to them quietly.
""Yes?""
"5%" I told them the amount of power that they should use for safety.
""Understood""
Normally, around 3% should be enough to fight with the enemy, but since they're dealing with an unknown factor called 'Magic', I had them raise up the level by a little amount. And since they know that they're dealing with something unknown, their guards are at their highest.
The 4 of them will be fighting a 2v2 battle, Tanya and Kagami against General Luwin and General Lee. They took their positions in the ring and the referee started counting down from 10. Everyone are watching intensely, Including the students.
"3...2..1...BEGIN!"
The moment the battle began, Kagami and Tanya moved quickly with perfect synchronization. It was as if they fought millions of battles together. Both of them launched a quick pincer attack at the Generals, which was blocked by their barrier.
crack*
The barrier started to crack, when the opponents saw this, surprised showed on their faces. Both of them retreated temporarily and fixed their own formation. They unsheathed their swords and launched a direct downward strike at kagami and tanya. Both of them blocked it cleanly using their arms which surprised the two generals once again. Blows were delivered one after another. While the Generals blocked the incoming attacks using barrier. Tanya and Kagami dodged quickly and sometimes, uses their own arms as shields. As time passed, the battle became much more intense.
"Those two are holding up pretty well against General Luwin and Lee, despite not using any kind of offensive magic."
"Yeah.. I wonder how strong they will become if they used magic."
"I feel like I might become stronger just by watching them."
Every knight around us started chatting among themselves about the battle, while the other generals and immortal blades are just watching with great interest.
"Let's wrap this up, Tanya!"
"Yes"
Tanya and kagami stepped back and dodged the powerful counterattack of the two generals. This time, their perfect synchronization kicked in again. They dashed to the sides of the two generals, just like what they did at the beginning.
"The same technique won't work twice on us!" Luwin and Lee changed to defensive stance and prepared to launch a heavy attack using their swords. But what they didn't know that this was what Kagami and Tanya were aiming for.
The moment a gap appeared between the two generals, Tanya and Kagami slipped through the combination of attack and defensive stance, circling 180 degrees around the two in an instant, when both of them finally arrived at the desired position, both of them launched their fists. However, these fists were not aimed at the two generals, they were aimed at each other. The moment Tanya and Kagami's punch collided between the heads of the two opponents, It produced a huge shockwave that sent the dusts around them flying, making a cloud of dust and also knocking out the two generals unconscious due to the intense shockwave that rang from the collision.
And it was at that way that the 20 minutes fight between the 4, ended without any physical injuries.
