751 My First Match is Against the Angels
“Alright, it’s my turn,” I said as I stand up from my seat and about to jump to the stage.
“Hey, how do you fight? You’re an air mage and a summoner, right? If you’re a summoner, I think it’s easy if you just let your familiar to fight instead of you,” Sunglasses said.
It’s not just him who think that way. The other new members of the alliance also think so too. Except for Yuria and Patricia. They already know what I am.
“This friendly match, although it looks like we did it on a whim, is actually planned by the four kings of the big countries. I’m sure of it. And they want to use this chance to properly introduce me to you all. About who I really am. Just watch and see why they decided to call me as the strongest hidden card,” I replied.
Then I jumped to the stage all alone before making an announcement.
“Whoever want to fight me, then come down here! One on one, or as many as you want!” I said.
I will fight someone one on one first, and then fight against a group later.
Well, it seems like no one is going to take me on one on one match. And it started with facing Graham and the angels first.
“You’re on that side?” I asked.
.....
“Yeah. I want to test how strong I am now,” Graham said.
As for the guests in the audience seat, they are interested in watching me, a summoner, facing Graham, my familiar. Though after knowing that I’m just an air mage and a summoner, they don’t think that I can win.
I pour mana into the phone and the new posts in the forum appear in my head. Most of them were betting against me. Only those who knows me are betting on me.
I won’t just be fighting Graham. I will also face other people or monsters later. I need to fight quickly, defeat each opponent with one hit, and it must be something that can convince everyone that I’m the strongest here.
“Alright, Victoria. Are you ready?” I asked.
“No. You’re going to fight on your own,” she said as she left me, then returned to my seat on her own.
...No Victoria, no Blobbies, and just me. With some kunai hidden in my pocket. The magic weapon which will get sharper if I pour mana into it.
This won’t be something fancy. No one can see it well from the audience seat and they won’t get convinced if I use magic items. But whatever. I’ll use them anyway.
And I also have no gun. I left one that is neither Victoria nor Blobby, at home. Maybe I should keep bringing it whenever I go.
Well, I can easily use portal to grab it. And if it’s just me alone that I need to transfer via portal, I can use portal many times more than when we destroyed the cult’s base in Monsters World.
The match then begins. And I waste no time at all to charge at the closest angels I could find.
One against twelve. Or fifteen now that Graham has created clones of himself.
Though I quickly knocked out four angels already. Which leaves eleven.
They tried to keep their distance as Graham tried to lead the angels. But they are slower than me.
When I had just finished knocking another angel out, everyone except Graham, grabbed me to stop me from moving. Even his shadow clones are here.
But I just brute force my way and throw the angels off of me before knocking them out.
Graham tried to use light magic to attack me from distance, but I easily dodged them.
Thanks to the fight against the cat-man, I improved rapidly. And this is a good chance as well for me to see how strong I am now.
Two minutes later, all the angels are down on the floor. Everyone either lose their consciousness, or lose their will to continue fighting. Including Graham.
I can tell that Graham has improved as well. But if I said that to him now, he won’t believe it since I defeated him too fast.
The new members of the alliance were shocked. The fight ended too soon with the angels unable to do anything. And I didn’t even break a sweat.
I can tell that Albert has started telling the others about who I am. About the fact that I’m an Aura user.
Now that I have moved close enough to them, I can hear what he’s saying.
“He’s an Aura user. If you read children stories, you will know about it. They exist. Aura user existed in the past. But now, Roy is the only one who can use it. Victoria might be able to use it, but she needs some help to use it,” Albert said.
“Wait, they are not just fiction?” one king asked.
“They are very much real. In fact, the founder of Tatrama was also an Aura user. But his magic was stronger than his Aura. And he rarely used it. So no one knows about it. I also learned about him recently. Anyway, there are more things that I need to tell you about Roy. And it also involves Victoria and Sonia. About what happened a thousand years ago. It’s not written in the documents given to you because I’m sure if you read it, you will think that we’re just making things up. So, we decided to show you how strong an Aura user is first, and tell you after you are convinced with Roy’s strength,” Albert said.
Though I haven’t shown them how good I am at using Aura. Victoria is not by my side after all. I can only use kunai.
Maybe I should grab the sword-cane. The next battle won’t be any easier.
Previously, I knocked them all out with the kunai covered in my Aura. I didn’t make the kunai sharper with either magic or Aura. But I used Aura to cover the kunai to make it blunt. That way I won’t accidentally kill anyone.
Next time, I’ll do the same with the sword cane.
While waiting for my next opponent, I opened a portal and grabbed the sword cane.
“Roy can fight much better if he has me by his side since I can transform into any weapon he imagined. But since we want to show you how strong he is and it’s not just because of his weapons, he needs to fight without me by his side. I’ll join him later. After this match since I want to face him,” Victoria said as she jumped down to the stage.
I’m going to fight her next? Well, that’s fine.
I only realized now that Victoria has been in talk with Albert and the others of how to show everyone how strong I am. By letting them watch a fight between two Aura users.
I understand this, so I called Ray to the stage. He landed from the sky and Victoria quickly ride on his back.
“Isn’t this the first time that we will fight properly?” Victoria asked.
“I guess so. You’re my Aura teacher but we have never fought before. At most, it’s just a light sparring. Well, with how infinite your stamina is, I don’t think it will be easy. So, it’s just you and Ray alone?” I asked.
“No. Shelia, Jack, and the werewolves will join me.”
As soon as she said that, Shelia and the other werewolves jumped to the stage and ready to fight me.
Is this why Shelia didn’t fight before? To save her power to when she’s going to face me?
Hmm... let’s see. They had Graham and the angels to face me first so that I can show to everyone that I’m an Aura user. Then I will face Victoria and the werewolves to show how strong an Aura user is.
But this is not enough, right? After all, most of the enemies we will fight are mages.
I’m sure that after this, I will face mages. After all, what they have seen so far, and what they will see now, are about me facing monsters. They must be thinking that Aura user is nothing in front of mages.
And whoever prepared this must be thinking that even after I fought so many battles, I can still fight. But I don’t that’s the case.
I think it’s more like a strategy for me to waste my stamina before the last boss appear. As for who it is, I’m sure it would be Angela even though she has fought once before.
“Is he going to fight everyone later?” one bodyguard asked. He’s the one that Jewel easily defeated before. The one who made light of me.
“If he keeps winning, then yes. Don’t worry about it. I’m sure that whoever fighting him won’t even hold back their strength,” Fabio said.
“But I’m not sure about it, King Fabio. He’s good at fighting close range. I’m sure that he could be a great assassin. But I don’t know if we can let him fight against mages. They can attack him from distance long before he could reach them,” one king said.
“That’s what we’re here to show you. You’re still not convinced that he’s the strongest one here, right? You will see later,” Fabio said.
My next match is starting. And I will continue winning.
