Chapter 2: duel part 1

  This world has a css system simir to the medieval era.

  There is hierarchy, and the order of influence from top to bottom is Royalty, duke, Marquess, viscount, and barony.

  Of course, a democratic federation also exists in this world, but I remember it being the dwarfs, and some human settlements that has it.

  This is basing off from my memories from 200 years ago, so I don't know if this information is accurate.

  "So this is the school, pretty big."

  While I was contempting about the world, I was walking towards the school and it seems that I have arrived.

  It's been 3 weeks since I transmigrated, I trained my skills so that I wouldn't fall off this school, but I hope that was enough.

  The school's size is about that of a town, with facilities reaching 300 meters, this would be the greatest school that has ever existed.

  Hmm, by the way, this is the first day of school, and the subjects that I have taken are swordsmanship, mana control, history, and spell calcutions.

  Since I'm in a fantasy world, I wanted to take some very niche subjects that I never experienced in my past life.

  And since I want to learn more about the world after killing the demon king, I also took history.

  The only worry some thing that I'm contempting about is if I'm able to catch up to my peers in terms of knowledge towards superficial things.

  Welp, nothing could go wrong.

  The first subject I'm going to take is swordsmanship.

  I went to the cssroom, first thing I noticed is the noise.

  "Hey, isn't the school batch this year the most amazing!!"

  "Yeah! 4 out of 5 great families descendants are in the same school batch!! That has never happened!! 2 of them is in this css!!"

  "I know! I want to get closer to Elfin but she seems a bit cold around us..."

  "See? My mana is stronger than you you dumbass"

  "Bh bh bh bh bh"

  Ahh, gossips before css, so nostalgic.

  I got to the st row and sat there.

  After waiting for a few minutes, the professor of this css showed up.

  He's a tall man with a big scar on his face. A frowning face, a bald head, and a sword hanging in his waist. The only redeeming part he has is he is still wearing the standard school uniform.

  "Silence!"

  All of the students shut up immediately.

  There was this kind of magic teachers has towards students I suppose. Or maybe he really used some kind of vocal magic to shut them up?

  The teacher scanned the surroundings for a bit before introducing himself.

  "My peak is rank 35 in the hero rankings but I'm retired now... My name is Gustaf Dmitriy for those who might not know me yet."

  He said with a husky and rough voice.

  "THE Gustaf?? What is he doing here?"

  "I heard he defeated a whole terrorist attack all by himself."

  "What? That's absurd."

  Hmm, this guy seems to be a big deal huh?

  Also, there is a ranking system? Back in Alhaitam online, there is also one, eerily simir to what they have. Of course, the top 7 ranking was only my other avatars so it's not too far fetched to say that I dominated the top 10 alone.

  Yes, I'm bragging.

  "I will be teaching you leeches the basics of swordsmanship and being wary of your surroundings. At the end of this semester you lot should be able to defeat an intermediate monster with ease, so be prepared!"

  The student shuddered at his decration.

  Then, he began to expin the contents of the swordsmanship css, what he's about to teach, and some events that might partake in the future.

  Don't judge a book by it's cover. Although he looks like a murderer, he's devoted to his role, which is a plus I would presume.

  At some point, I almost dose of from the sheer information that he's providing us.

  Maybe noticing this, Gustaf suddenly changed his approach.

  "Well, some of you seems to be getting sleepy all of a sudden, I'll take it that you all are getting itchy for a battle huh?" He smirked. "Let's go to the training grounds and spar!"

  I don't know why, but I felt a lot of gres towards me after that sentence.

  ***

  The training ground looks pretty big, the size is like a football field with all sorts of facilities.

  We went to the "dueling arena" following our teacher.

  "Find a partner and spar with them until our css ends. Make sure to properly conduct all the basic stance swordsmanship has. If both of you are an advance swordsman, I suggest that you can fight to your heart's content."

  And so, the students began to choose their partners and spar.

  Honestly, I didn't make any friends coming here so I don't know who to fight with.

  Our number in this css is even so I guess I'll just have to wait and see who I will get.

  As the students partners up, fewer and fewer students remained.

  Until there is only two of us left.

  A young elf girl, with green hair and blue eyes. Her weapon of choice is a rapier, which isn't really new, but I'm half expecting a good challenge.

  She also looks a bit familiar...

  "Hey, uhh... There's only two of us left here huh?"

  No response.

  "Shall we spar? Cause the teacher might get angry at us."

  No response again.

  Hmm, this is difficult. She's acting like a stone, never budging.

  There were some people like this in my old world, my response was ignoring them but right now, I can't do that.

  I guess I have to call the teacher.

  "What's going on here?"

  Oh, would you look at that, he arrived.

  "Uhh, we were just about to spar teach."

  Please response.

  She nodded.

  Whew, thank goodness. Lesson learned, never be the st one in a "pick your partner" activity.

  We then headed to our perspective spots and surprisingly, our teacher will be the arbiter for this match.

  "I will stop the match when I deemed that one side had taken too much damage or is unable to continue. The match can also end when one side has surrendered. Ready?"

  I nodded.

  She nodded too.

  "Levon Constantine Vs Elfin Leningrad. Begin!"

  He swung his hand, signalling the start of the match.

  Wait, Leningrad?

  The same Leningrad I created as a mage?

  You're the descendant!!

  "W-wait wait-"

  My yelp comes short as she dashes towards me at incredible speeds, pointing her rapier directly towards my head.

  [Avatar magic: 2nd avatar: swordswoman Naomi Yukata]

  I managed to redirect her rapier towards a different angle just in time, barely missing my head.

  She made a surprised expression but that's not all.

  I took advantage of her current situation making a barrage of furious attacks towards her, whilst also trying to make her sword defend in weird spots.

  My 2nd avatar, Naomi Yukata is a swordswoman specialising in all kinds of sword.

  Her main weapon is a katana, but she does just as good towards other weapons.

  In the 7 avatars I made, she is the greatest swordswoman I have in my arsenal.

  After consecutive attacks, I jumped back trying to recover my stamina.

  Although I did get my avatar's skills and techniques, my base stats did not change, so she still has some stats advantage I would presume.

  Still, I am more surprised that she is a descendant of one of my avatar, specifically my 5th one.

  That avatar's fighting style was more of a mage, so I'm kinda surprised that her offspring is a swordswoman.

  Ragged breathing covered the room for a while, the both of us are trying to recover the fatigue that accumuted in that short amount of time.

  It's not just the physical fatigue, but also the mental one.

  Whilst I'm recovering my stamina, she's recovering from the fact that she had to predict my every move and where's my next move is going to be.

  She also has the advantage physically, but I can cover that with my technique.

  Yes, right now it is a stalemate.

  But that's only considering our current strength.

  [Seamless stance]

  I lowered my sword below my waist.

  The time for testing waters is over.
