Hello, here is the end of the School Tournament, the end of the school part is near... well Enjoy
And don't forget to leave a comment !
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
After winning our first round in the tournament; 13 team were left, it meant that one team couldn't fight. Faust decided to qualify Veyna for the semi final because she is the student president.
For some reason, our second opponent surrendered and we won the second round by default. Apparently they saw Eniel fight at the qualifying round and refused to fight against us; the most saddened one by this new was Eniel.
Our next opponent is called team Rain, it is composed of three girls and one boy who are all 16 years old. We met them in the participant room before the fight, the boy's name is Reno Koer, he is a pretty nice guy with short rare blue hair and a warm face who somehow make you think of him as a friend on your first meeting.
The first girl is an elf, Siela Kran, a clumsy big breasted girl with long golden hair and who seem to be shy; I never saw any elf in this school, this show how rare they are.
The two other girl are two human, the first one is Iniel Krena, she at first sight seem to be a calm swordwoman with who don't really enjoy talking.
The last girl is Lina Fisiel, a short brown haired girl with a hot temperament who seem to be around Eniel's age, but it look like she is actually 16 years old too.
The three girls are wearing a golden bracelet while the boy is wearing a silver one, yet he seem to be the leader of the team. Reno told us that he is specialized in both the sword and the magic, while Iniel is only a swordwoman who use the Earth-Shaking style, Lina and Esiel are magic user.
It was after we were done talking that I realized something important. All the three girls seemed to be constantly trying to get his attention and their face became crimson when he was talking to them.
Dad warned me against boy like him, he told me that they are dangerous and that I can't approach them carelessly; otherwise they will steal my soul. He also told me to fight with everything I had against them.
Shina : " Hey girls, in this fight we can't hold back because I think they are dangerous. "
Estiel : " They don't really seem that dangerous, they even seemed to be quite nice. "
Shina : " My dad told me that man who manage to make an 'harem' are the most dangerous man in the world and can't trusted. "
Fiona : " What is an 'harem' ? "
Shina : " I don't really know, apparently it's when many girl try to get the attention of the same boy. "
Eniel : " If Shina think he is dangerous... I ll take care of him. " She said looking at him with cold eyes.
Shina : " You two try to take care of the two mages, I ll take care of the swordwoman. "
We entered the arena and after a few moment, the fight began.
Our opponents were trying to gang up on Eniel, but it was a mistake; I blocked rushed at Iniel and blocked her way. Meanwhile Lina and Siela were launching their spell at Eniel, who easily dodged them.
Estiel arrived in front of Lina and made her unable to cast any spell; casting spell require concentration and it is hard to focus on casting a spell while having to dodge the attacks of a swordwoman while Fiona was also disturbing Siela with her arrow.

Their mistake was that they didn't took us seriously, apparently they didn't hear the rumors about us and though they would be fighting against 5 or 6 years old childs. This is also why they focused on Eniel who is the oldest among us.
Normally they should be defending their mages, but they abandoned all tactics, now their mages can't even fight anymore and are unarmed.
As for me, I am currently fighting against Iniel, from her skills, I would say she possess a A rank in Wind-Cutting style; she is really fast, but not as fast as men who attacked me. At first she tried to take it easy, but after a few moment she became serious and is giving her all.
After dodging all of her attacks, I decided to become serious; but as the moment when I was going to go all out, I sensed a strange magic coming from my left.
It was the boy gathering a mass of magic in his sword, after slashing with his sword, he released a shockwave who cut through the sword of Eniel; but she still managed to dodge the shockwave and wasn't hurt.
Estiel : " Mirage Ability... harem guys are scary... " Mirage Abilities regroup all strange and unique magic who can't be categorized.
I decided to finish my fight as soon as possible and go help Eniel, I infused my sword with ice magic; my sword was completely frozen and I swept it at Iniel. My sword was too fast for her to dodge so she blocked it, my sword froze her weapon and at the same time both of her hands.
Her weapon was now unusable just like my sword, I dropped my weapon and infused my hand with earth mana. When I punched her in the chest, her body flew at around 4 meters away.
When I looked toward Eniel, she was running toward Reno with the half of her sword in her hand. Everytime Reno swung his sword, it produced a shockwave; but Eniel easily dodged all of them.
She arrived in front of him and after ducking kicked him in the knee, making him fall; while he was falling she slashed at him many time, the slash were so fast that I couldn't see how many she did.
When Reno finally touched the ground, he seemed to have many bones broken and even coughed some blood, when Eisiel and Lina noticed his condition they were distracted and Lina received a blow in her stomach while Eisiel took an arrow in chest cutting her breathing and knocking her out. It was our win.
Shina : " Eniel, are you alright ? "
Eniel : " His ability was dangerous, but his skills as a swordman are weak, he rely too much on his power. " She said after analyzing the fight in her head.
Shina : " It's good if you are safe, good job. " I said patting her head like at the previous fight.
Estiel : " But still... I didn't think a boy with an harem would be so dangerous. " We all nodded at her words.
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
Our next opponents for the semi final is called team 'Magnificent', seriously... what with that name.
When we entered the stadium, I saw three familiar man, they were the three man who treated me as their slave and wanted to kidnap me. It was the prince and his two nameless friends.
The moment they looked at me, their face turned pale; they were speaking among them while stealing some glance at me. However I never saw the fourth man, it's a boy with tiger ears and a tail.

Shina : " Hey... is that a slave? " I said disgusted.
Fiona : " Look like, they are really the lowest. "
Estiel : " I agree, they disgust me. "
Shina : " Eniel, take care of the blond boy while Estiel and Fiona take the tanned one, I ll handle their slave. "
Eniel didn't reply but simply nodded.
Shina : " Also, you can go all out and don't worry at the consequence. "
When the fight began, I quickly formed one of my earth ball, but until any other this time I made it rotate. I threw the ball toward the leg of their mage, he didn't even had the time to send one spell when my ball passed through his leg letting only a hole.
Their mage won't be able to cast any spell because of the pain, now that I dealt with him I jumped toward the demihuman and after infusing my sword with wind mana I slashed at his sword which was cut in two.
The three boys were surprised by what was happening, a few months ago they were overwhelming me; but now I easily dealt with two of them within a few second. I quickly finished the demihuman by hitting him in the neck while making sure I wouldn't kill him, making him pass out.
Only two opponent were left, Estiel and Fiona were certainly weak, but they still managed to press on the tanned man. While Estiel was constantly attacking him, leaving him no time to catch his breath, Fiona covered all of Estiel's opening leaving him without any chance of attacking.
Their fight ended with an arrow of Fiona hitting his arm and breaking his stance, Estiel took the opportunity and swung at the boy's hand breaking few fingers.
Now the only fight left was Eniel against the prince, Eniel was dodging all of the prince attack while coldly looking at him. After having all of his attack dodged, the prince was exhausted, when he looked around him he realized that he was the only one left; all of his teammates apart from the demihuman were gravely injured.
Prince : " I surre... " I know he wanted to surrender, but at this moment Eniel finally attacked.
She made a simple vertical slash at his right shoulder, but this slash wasn't like anyone she made before. It was almost invisible and just passed through the prince's shoulder. His arm simply fell from his body.
He looked at his missing arm and began to turn pale with some strange sounds coming out of his mouth. After that he suddenly fell and lost conscious.
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
We were now qualified for the final, and as we though our opponent is Veyna. She was forced to fight alone until now, but was allowed to fight with her teammates for the final.
Her comrades are two boys and one girl, the two boys were armed with a sword and a shield while the girl only had a single sword.
Estiel : “ I never thought I would fight against my sister at the final of the tournament before I met Shina. “
Fiona : “ Well I never though I would win a single round at the tournament too you know. “ They said smiling.
Shina : “ Well it's now that the true fight begin, I ll take care of Veyna, you two take the girl; I think Eniel can beat the two boys. “
It was finally time for us to fight with all we have, until now I never fought against Veyna with all my power, at the sword exam I only used swords technique and in the spar, I only used magic to distract her.
But now, I will use everything I have to beat her, after the fight began, we all went toward our opponents.
Veyna didn't move, she knew I was the one going to fight against her, we simply looked at each other and took our stance.
This time I was going all out, I infused wind magic in all my body to boost my speed and earth magic in my sword to make it harder. The first time we fought, I lost because my sword broke, but not this time.
I was the one who engaged the fight and threw a simple horizontal slash at her, hopping she would block it with her sword and break it. But she simply ignored my sword and dodged it, she riposted with a fast swing of her sword toward my shoulder.
By twisting my body, I managed to dodge her sword and countered her by throwing a circular kick at her chest. With my body infused with wind mana, my kick speed was too fast for her to dodge and she didn't have enough time to block it with her sword.
She reduced the distance between us and blocked my kick with her arm; by reducing the distance she at the same time reduced the impact brought by my kick.
Although my kick should have done some damage, she endured the pain and swung her sword at me. Her strike coming right after my kick, even after infusing my body with wind mana, I didn't have enough time to dodge it.
I gathered earth mana in my left hand and tried to grab her sword, I managed to block her attack, but her strike still managed to hurt my hand; I couldn't use my left hand anymore.
I made some distance and started analyzing the situation, I couldn't use my right hand, while she couldn't use her left shoulder; we were pretty much in the same situation.
We were staring at each other, she didn't attack and waited for me to come at her, I know she wasn't underestimating me, but waited for the right timing to counter.
She thought I showed her everything I had during the spar, but I still had one more thing I never showed to anyone since I came to this world; my parent's magic.
Their magic is something who require concentration and time, it was the perfect time to use it.
I channeled the dark mana inside of me and gathered it around my sword, the dark mana manifested in a crimson aura enveloping my sword. The face of Veyna changed at this sight, it was something I never showed her.
I dashed toward her and swung my sword, she was cautious of the crimson aura and didn't try to block it and dodged it, but I wasn't going to let her dodge the next strike.
Shina : “ Freeze ! “
The ground 10 meters around us was completely frozen, just like Veyna's legs; this time she couldn't dodge, I once again swept my sword toward her which she was forced to block.
When the crimson aura touched her sword, her wooden sword began to turn completely black and disintegrated. Once her sword was gone, I infused my legs with earth mana and kicked at her stomach making her pass out.
Eniel as always already won against the two boys, but they weren't really hurt, only a few bruise; she restrained herself because they are Veyna's friends.
Meanwhile Fiona and Estiel were currently lying on the ground; their opponent was too strong for them, she looked around her, looking which ally she should help first; but she only saw them unconscious.
Girl : “ I surrender. “
This is how the tournament ended, and how we became a legend in the school; Estiel was the youngest student to ever become the student president.
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
Meanwhile, in Faust office:
Man : “ What do you means by you can't punish them ?! I don't want you to punish them, but execute them ! “
The man talking is a magnificently dressed man around his 60 years, both of his hairs and beard completely white made him seem older, he wore an angry expression and is shooting at Faust because of what happened previously during the tournament.
Faust : “ They didn't kill your son or any of his friends, and didn't break any rules as well; I can't punish them for nothing. “
Man : “ Nothing ?! She cut my son's arm ! Do you know what it means?! She injured the crowned prince of Theristid ! If you don't do anything, I will invade this school myself and kill her with my own hand ! “
The man is the current emperor of Theristid; Reinswell Theristid, the father of Kerser Theristid who had his arm cut by Eniel.
Faust : “ You think you can threaten so easily ? “ The aura around Faust changed, before it was a calm and peaceful aura, but after having the school he made and managed for a few centuries threatened, the mana around him turned violent.
Faust : “ Don't forget who you are talking to, I may indeed lose if I attack your country alone, but don't forget how strong I am; you will have to sacrifice 60 % of your army to kill me, I heard that another holy war against the demons will happen soon. Is it really wise to lose all your army right before the war ? “
The man could only grind his teeth, the Goddess of Light announced that a new holy war will take place soon; he couldn't lose his army now.
Reinswell : “ Don't think it's over, after the war I'll make sure those girl are all captured and tortured before being sold as slave. “ He said before leaving the room.
' I definitely can't let Veralox learn about that... ' Was what Faust thought at that time.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.
