“Good day! Swordsmen and women! It is a fine and beautiful day for the ranking tournament! I am your host for this day! And without further ado, let us see the matchups for this month’s tournament!” the male host announced as the students inside the sword’s dome erupted in cheers.The dome is jampacked with roaring students who are going to watch the 8 duels that will happen today. And then, at the giant monitor above, showed the students who will fight. It is first years against first years. And Kendrick against the president of this school’s student council. It was the main event, and the majority of the students are supporting of course the president as they labeled this as a duel to show the superiority of the strongest swordswoman in this school who is also destined to become a slayer in the future. In any case, the first duel will now take place. And the first to battle it all out was Jonathan against a fellow freshman. His opponent was a girl, a beautiful one at that. Her name
The duel began with the two just circling each other and are clearly watching one another’s movements to predict on what is coming and to prepare something to counter an attack. This is Kendrick’s first ever serious duel that he is already somewhat of a master in swords. But this is also the duel he must win, and he can’t just let his guard down even for a second. Because the girl in front of him, was releasing aura that is more like from a beast that cannot be tamed by anyone or anything. A beast that chases its prey anywhere and will not stop. She is the predator among predators in this school. Everyone respects her because of her prowess; however, Kendrick has made a vow that he will be the first to defeat her. However, his first target is to at least scratch her, even if he will not be able to beat her. At lease he scratched her. That scratch will eventually leave an impression to everyone that Kendra is not invincible, and she is also a human at the end of the day. Vulnerable and
Kendrick was engulfed in what seems to be black flames. Kendra stopped on her tracks to watch as Kendrick becomes like the punisher of hell. After a few seconds, the black flames disappeared from all over Kendrick’s body as it is now on his shoulders and knees. He now wears this black armor with some red on it and written runes. Kendrick truly looks like the punisher of hell. The punisher of hell is the one who torments the sinful souls at the lowest level of the kingdom of damnation. The punisher is the one in charge with the torture methods and all. The punisher is depicted in the books as some kind of big dude, maybe 7 foot tall, have a bulky build and black flames coming out of the knees and shoulders of his armor. And now, what says in the books is what the people are now seeing. Kendrick looks like the punisher, there is no doubt about that. But the thing that shocked everyone is that Kendrick is just a freshman who could barely use both of his swords at once. And yet, here he i
The next three days were hectic. Students just can’t stop talking about the explosive battle between Kendrick and Kendra. The students are also raving about how the were destined to duel as they have the almost identical name. The duel was ruled as a draw because both students passed out. It turns out, that the one who knocked the other out must remain standing for at least 5 seconds to be declared as the winner. However, since Kendra dropped cold that moment too, the duel was announced as a draw, and it depends on the two if it is a rematch is going to happen. And if so, then the rematch of the two would have to wait for 4 months. Kendrick is now in the cafeteria with the others. He has been out cold for 2 days, that is why he is regaining his food loss. He is now eating tons of tons of food and the fact that he has this kind of appetite right after he woke up earlier is just amazing. It is not just his abilities which are monstrous, his appetite too. As the 5 were eating their food,
The news of the 5 scholars being the new SDC members began to pread like wildfire again. However, the topic of Kendra and Kendrick’s fight is not drowning in the new hot topic of them becoming the Student Disciplinary Council. The next day, the 5 woke up and is now starting their weekend. Sevie and Eleanor were the ones who were cooking breakfast as usual, while Jonathan and Sylvester are doing some house chores. Kendrick, who have already finished in cleaning the bathroom went out to train for the rest of his day. And as he opens the door, sure enough, at their front doorstep, 5 boxes were placed. Kendrick turned around inside the cottage,“Hey! I think our new uniforms are here!” Kendrick announced as everyone just stopped on what they are doing and went out to get the boxes.They placed the 5 boxes on the coffee table at the middle of the cottage. Their names were written on top of it. The 5 took their own boxes and opened it. And inside the boxes were their new uniforms that they
Before he could fight this crazy student, Kendrick needs to evacuate the nearby who were injured by the fat kid first. And then, the fat kid released a technique towards Kendrick who is currently defenseless as he is assisting some injure students. The visible wind blades hurtle towards him, and instead of running, Kendrick puts the person he was carrying in front of him in a straight manner and then he turned around and caught all the blades that has been launched at him. He closed his eyes in hopes of having it less painful once it hits him, but then, after a dew seconds, no blade hit his body. He opened his eyes, and there, he saw, Kendra, blocking all the blades that has been launched towards Kendrick. She pushed her sword upwards as the wind blades disappeared,“It seems that I have underestimated you, Griffin. You were more noble than I thought. But care to explain what is happening?” Kendra asked.Kendrick sighed as it is no time to have a chitchat like this when that fat kid i
A devil’s mark is a mark which is an indication that a person has been cursed by the devil. And with a physical mark in presence, then it should be safe to say that the markings were marked traditionally, with rituals and all. And because of that, everyone knew what’s up. This fat kid may have willingly agreed to have a mark like that, but why? Right now, the most worried one was the headmistress. She was sweating buckets, and she is just loss of words. The headmistress has these words going in circles in her head,“They are moving. I must move also.” Is what she is thinking right now.Kendra then saw her mother who was in distress and called her,“Headmistress?” Kendra asked.And that is when Mrs. Hilty snapped out of it. Kendrick looked at her, as he might be right that Mrs. Hilty knows something, but it is too dangerous to even disclose with others. The headmistress cleared her throat,“Okay. For the safety of this school, what you heard will remain here in the infirmary. Once this
“Tsukuyomi?! Got any idea what she was talking about?! Because I have a hypothesis!” Kendrick yelled in his mind as he was fighting this girl who is evidently stronger than the fat kid earlier.The attacks were not as heavy as his though, but the thing is, it might not be that heavy, but it sure is very sharp. Her sword, her attacks and speed were all showing their sharpness. It was if she was moving flawlessly. This is when Kendrick knew that he won’t be able to hold back with her as he would die if he did hod back, since this girl is going for the kill. Rather than being killed pathetically, Kendrick went on his serious mode and fought this girl seriously. Kendrick ran towards the girl and prepared his devil sword,“Devil Sword’s Style: Guillotine Decapitation!” Kendrick says.Kendrick’s sword then began to become sharper, and as the two swords collide, it chipped the other side of the edges of the opposing sword. Overwhelmed by the strength of the attack, the girl went out of bala
