Dooms At The Corner

Battle Arena

   Magic school academy is the habitat where young, talented and hardworking people get their magic perfection and some become adventurers and some become a special grade of royal deferential and attacking magic Group, named as ’Illuminati revolvers'.

    As in the Zardia country, the magic school Kagen is attending divides into two sections, like other schools. The first one is Magic and the second one's Sword.

  Kagen second day started pretty unexpectedly.

  He woke up, after getting ready he set out of the room, and started walking towards the school. When he is about to entered the magic campus, he felt a warm sensation on his left shoulder. He doesn't want to be felt by anybody, so he glided it. He thought maybe someone put his hand on him without knowing or mistakenly but the problem started from here,

"Hey, lowly, ordinary commoner, have you given your offering To Sir Arthur for what hitch you caused yesterday?," said that young man with a nasty look in his eyes after stopping Kagen.

 Everybody started to gaze at Kagen.

Kagen started to freak out in his mind and wandered what did he do now? He has to prevent this crowd and who the hell is Arthur!? Has he ever met someone in his life? And who the hell is this young man?! Kagen doesn't even know him.

"Who?!” Kagen countered while collecting his composure in his mind with a bit of surprisement.

With a gigantic voice that young man replied "oi oi, you didn't overlook about yesterday right?”

Without knowing the fact or the happening that was occurring Kagen started to feel sick and vomit. He can’t handle the crowd pressure. By the way Kagen is a proud self proclaim introvert.

There are four types of introvert. First one is closet introverts or self proclaimed extroverts, who are introverts in inside but act as they invent the extroverts and know everything about extroverts. Second one is trying introvert, who know they are introvert but tried to evolve them into the society by it. Third one is the most incurable and dangerous one, self proclaimed or natural introvert. They are the people who already know that they never converse with someone and they accept this fact proudly. 

In the middle of kagen’s escape plan an unknown figure suddenly came to middle them “Stop there; here is the justice police," a young lady with glossy light pink hair waving in the breeze assert, azure blue eyes with a small nose and pinky cheeks said.

"Who are you?" the young man asked angrily, pointing his finger at that young lady with an irritating face.

"I am Sunao Sakurako, 1st year, in a moderate-level magic class, and who are you? Will you kindly inform me?" answered back the young lady.

The young boy placed his hands on chest and proudly expanding his chest he said "I am Tristan rodgeruig, the second son of the country assurance officer and a student of royal class magician class,"

"And who you might be?" Sunao asked Kagen, while wondering her eyes around Kagen's status.

"Ahem ... uh... I am a student of an ordinary magician class," Kagen answered quavering.

"And...?"

"What?" Kagen asked with surprise.

"Your name?" Sunao asked.

Kagen stopped moving for some time and replied,

"I don't prefer to bestow my name to anybody"

Kagen thought ’Crap! I forgot my name. What was it again? What happen to brave me?! Don’t be feared by the public. Oh... shit! What is happening? The crowd is growing more? I have to disappear quickly or I will deteriorate. It is like hell for a wallflower and aloof guy like me.’

"Huh, he is in ordinary class, but still is cheeky. I think this is his fault. He did something to Sir Tristan," the crowd started to whisper and gossiping about Kagen without knowing the actual fact.

Kagen thought ‘Look at the scenario builder. How do they get to assume something happened even if it doesn't? Don't judge people from your same shoes. It's not like I care, so ignoring is the best.’

On the other hand, Tristan explained the incident that happened yesterday to Sunao.

After understanding everything Sunao replied hastily “You are the guilty one here, Tristan,"

Surprised Kagen thought ‘Aa...we got an airhead here. She is pretty straightforward. But it still may be a brave thing to answer, not condoning royalty. It may be this case.’

Apart from these thoughts Kagen clearly saw her determination and strong hold towards the justice. Maybe her clumsy nature and decision making attract the attention of Kagen.

"Huh, how can I be the awry one? He is the guilty one here," Tristan replied in a violent voice without withstanding Sunao’s conclusion.

"You are relaxing around close to their class so it's not his fault, plus on the first day there is much populace out there so it's inevitable, and one more thing you aren't the one who he bumped," Sunao said.

"Even I didn't, but as a friend of Sir Arthur I will take revenge for him, and show this commoner why we are far superior to them"

But whatever the reason she gave, all got refuted by Tristan. Without wasting any time and after some thinking Sunao replied "Ok I get it, I have the best idea for working out this”

“People say if there is something that can't be solved by talk then figures it out with fists, why don't you have a bout?”

“Whoever wins is the right one,”

With the surprising look Kagen thought didn’t she a justice police? Was this her justice, but after some thought he understood that ‘well I can't say it, people have their own perspectives, and It’s the best alternative for deciding the result.’

 ‘but there is a problem for me if I landed a hand on royalty it will not only circulate in school but also among royal families and it will induce a big crisis for me and apart from this I don't want to cause a furor so I want to lose but not from this pig rich, obnoxious royalty.’

After considering this Kagen replied to Sunao “I am sorry but I can’t”

“As you know, royalty is superior to commoner and even if I win, what is the guarantee that he wouldn't do anything to me in the future?" 

When Kagen was giving his reasons suddenly a voice came to the scene "I heard everything. Aren't you overconfident? you lowly commoner just said you won't fight Tristan because you are afraid of damages that are going to occur to you in the future, then why don't you fight with that girl there?"

After the completion of that voice when everyone except Kagen looked at the man he was Arthur. He was saying all of that while making a disgusting face.

  "Yes, why don't you fight with me?" Sunao asked Kagen.

Surprised, Kagen thought, what was she saying? Wasn’t it completely unrelated to the fight? Why did he have to fight with her?

Then he realized ‘Wait wait, wait....! Stop right there isn't it a good chance to end this with a loss of me, turmoil going to stop’.

"But, Sir Arthur, I am the one who wants to torment him."

"I know that Tristan, but why do we royalty have to touch some no one in a fight? It will be harsh to our ancestor who creates our power and magic superior from them ha ha ha...”

After their conversation was over Kagen thought ‘I don't take revenge on anyone but Arthur. You better remember the words you just said today. I will make sure to put you through what you just said; I don't care who you are, or what your position is. If you interfere with my life, you are going to pay for it. Wait, Kagen, even if you say these things to him now, it will make it worse. Wait for the right time. Now let's accept the challenge and act according to my plan.’

"Yes," Kagen responded.

It got decided that it will happen in the battle arena of the school after classes.

They started their classes normally. Just kidding, it wasn’t that easy as all his classmates already knew about battle .but the most interesting thing was that he wasn’t afraid of the battle but afraid of the thought that many viewers will be going to watch.

But he gave himself a manmade syndrome called looking down on himself. He thought no one was going to come to their match, but he forgot that in a match there are two people going to fight, and his opponent was a famous figure.

Due to the heavy rainfall, the practical classes and afternoon classes were suspended. At last, the moment that everyone foresaw appeared.

When he entered the arena his most afraid thought came true, many bunches were already present at there and due to the first battle of the first-year students, teachers were also present there.

Controlling his nervousness Kagen took out a sword for the arena inventory which was established right beside the player resting area and started to enter the arena.

By sawing this everyone in the crowd began their chitchatting "He didn't even know magic is more influential than the sword, ha ha ha ha! Don't make it boring, come on entertain us"

Kagen knew that swordsmanship is a bit poorer than magic but in his remark, this battle arena wasn’t so big, if magic combats the sword here then surely the sword will win, cause in chanted magic it will carry some time before activation, but in a professional case it may fluctuate.

 Magic use two types chanted and non-chanted. In school, they only teach chanting, so the activation will take time. Thanks to his parents, he already knew magic and swordsmanship quite accurately. Even though they were not very good adventurers, they knew the fundamentals.

Kagen and Sunao both players took their places in the arena as there were places already marked for the players to stand.

After sawing Sunao’s stance he thought ‘From me, she stands around thirty meters away. This match has already been decided before playing. I would surely win if I fight, but I know what I want to do.’

Even if Kagen didn’t have any talent but he can calculate and observe his opponent's time and attack. Kagen took his stance, as he stood there while opening up his legs a little.  

[Sunao POV]

What is he thinking about choosing a fight with a sword against a magician?! Is he trying to provoke me? And what is the loss stance he is taking? I also know plenty of swordsmanships.

Well, whatever, I will end this in no time.

Easy win for me.

[POV End]

The referee was set.

With the whistle of the referee, the match got started. The decision of two lives got batted.

  In less than five minutes, the match ended, and the winner got established.
