Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 318. Magic School Academy Entrance Examination: Area Level C bag. 10
Kaito's fight against Mark was serious. They no longer cared about the rules of the duel tag that had been mentioned in the beginning.
“I'm always watching you. When I heard from Emily that another dimensional explorer was going to take the exam, I always wanted to fight him like this” Mark said slowly
“But I never wanted to fight you. I have a goal and I have to pass!”
SLAASH
Kaito's sword managed to get rid of one of Mark's swords easily.
“What?! Mark-sama's sword fell?!”
The two supervisors who were looking outside the arena could not hide his shocked expression. They did not expect that one of Mark's swords would be released from his hand.
But, it only lasted a few seconds. Mark immediately jumped up and picked up his sword which was still floating in the air. Before his sword touched the ground, he had already caught it and threw it towards Kaito.
- WHOOOSH
After that, Mark immediately ran to attack Kaito.
Kaito avoids the sword Mark threw at him. As he tilted his body and saw Mark approaching to counterattack, Kaito made a spinning kick to outwit him.
Instead of being fooled, Mark was ready to cut Kaito's leg. It was also anticipated by Kaito.
He immediately lowered the leg that was about to kick Mark to dodge his sword slash, then landed it as a foothold and took a kick back.
Buuk
This time, the kick managed to hit Mark's hand which made him have to retreat by three steps.
“Not bad” praise Mark
“I'm sure I won't miss this time”
On the other hand, Virgo does absolutely nothing and observes seriously.
‘Young man named Kaito.I am sure he is indeed strong in fighting. Although I regret for underestimating him, but I can't just shut up and make him do everything’
‘Do not misunderstand! I just don't want him to steal all the action by himself and benefit from fighting against Mark Vermillion’
Virgo glanced towards the dragon girl who had just managed to stand up. The girl looked so scared and trembling, making Virgo hate her.
“Cih! Is useless. I think I'll use it”
Virgo is like doing any other magic. He kept his arrow bow back and recited something.
[Puppet Master: Bait Doll]
Magic that allows us to control the body of someone who is our target. The condition of use is that the person is not activating his magic.
At first glance, it should indeed be used to control Kaito who is not using magic. However, it seems Virgo's goal is to corner Mark with a cooperative attack.
‘If only Mark Vermillion was not an Artifact user, I might be able to use this magic on him. But, those fiery red eyes were a sign that her magic was active and at any time, she could cast her magic without bothering’
‘The only way is to control that useless girl. After all, even if he fails, if I can attack Mark Vermillion with Kaito's speed then I still have a chance to pass’
‘No problem. Here, I just need to restrain myself from killing anyone until it's declared a pass. If until I accidentally kill that dragon race, I might disappoint master’
Virgo took his breath and said, “I'll do it. [Puppet Master] active!”
There was a fine thread that appeared and disappeared that bound the body of the dragon girl.
“Eh?! A–what is this?!”
The dragon girl was surprised to see all those threads. He panicked and shouted.
“What's this! Help me!!”
“Whispering!”
From a distance, Virgo shouts towards the dragon girl.
“Eh?!”
“Do not be noisy! This is our chance to win against that tester so don't you mess it up!”
“This...magic yours?” ask the dragon girl
“That's my magic and don't ruin it. You just have to follow my instructions! Don't ask much if you also want to graduate!”
“.....” the dragon girl can only be silent with a trembling body
Meanwhile, Kaito completely ignored the two girls and was busy with the examiners in front of him.
SLAAASH
Continuing to try to injure Mark, a quick slash continued to be made, yet it still could not injure him.
“How? Are you ready to give up now or still want to try to fight?”
Just said so by Mark, Kaito began to accelerate back his movement.
‘Quick! His movement became increasingly–’
Not giving Mark a chance to dodge, Kaito's sword slash instantly changed direction quickly. He didn't waste a chance.
When the slash from the right could be avoided and Mark went to the left side, Kaito immediately used his left hand to hold the sword and then unsheathed it immediately.
“You're an ambidextrous?” ask Mark
“What is it?”
“Ah, don't know that term yes. It was a term for someone who skillfully used both hands in every way. Includes sword and write”
“Hmm, it looks like you could say so” replied Kaito casually
“Interesting. Incidentally, I was also an ambidextrous a year ago. I'm a former left-handed” boy
“Thank you for the information. But that's not the thing I need”
Kaito immediately attacked him back. The fight was really quick, to become the longest Mark has ever done since he started his exams.
The examinees outside could only be stunned without being able to say anything.
Mark still has no signs of casting his magic. However, suddenly from his right side, there was another attack.
-BAAAAM
Something hit the arena floor.
Kaito's movements stopped and he looked up.
“You..”.
It was the dragon girl. He looked frightened and crying, yet his body position seemed to want to attack.
“No!! Mi–get out of there! Aaaa!!” the girl screamed
Kaito who was passed by the girl saw something on her body.
‘Benang?’
The thread was like it was coming from the left side of Kaito right now and as he looked, he saw Virgo as if he was moving his hand.
Kaito yells, “Virgo! What are you doing?!”
“I'm busy! You better do your job too! We only have this chance to graduate together, Kaito!”
“But..” Kaito looks towards the dragon girl. He was physically fighting with the examiner alone. Of course Mark just dodged his punch.
However, it was a lie if he had no trouble now.
Mark dodged the attack, but the girl's fists and kicks were extremely powerful. It was even stronger than Mark's kicks so far this exam to the point of destroying his floor.
‘If I retaliate for the attack even more strongly, it is certain that he will die. But if I dodge him, I'll miss the chance to warm up. It's not good’ murmured in the heart
Kaito from a distance just saw that. After a few seconds, he received a shout from Virgo.
“You think we still have a chance to shut up and look! Do something too, Kaito!”
Kaito finally regained his senses and started using his magic this time.
‘This is no time for playfulness. Just by showing magic ability, I can prove that I can pass and get into this place’
‘This is all for the sake of my memory gems! I have to get a piece that's somewhere to remember who Adler Klaue’ is
Kaito closed his eyes and began to calm down.
From the other side of the arena, the Virgo who saw that became even more annoyed.
“Cih, what is he doing? Kaito!!”
Not long after that, a wind started to feel slightly. Small, yet long felt like a storm.
It was Kaito's magic.
[Wind Art: Black Feather Gale of Whirlwind]
Instantly there were many black feathers that appeared out of nowhere.
Along with the magnitude of the wind that came like a whirlwind, the feathers were more and more.
Virgo is surprised to see Kaito's magic. It made the movements of the dragon girl he controlled become very irregular.
Mark gets a chance to activate his magic. Mark's fiery red eyes had cast a magic that made the magic rope connected to the girl's body come loose.
The dragon girl was kicked away by Mark and he immediately put one of his swords into the sword sheath at his waist.
Now, the sword in Mark's hand was only one and it was clear in his eyes that he was going to use magic this time around.
“Magic against magic. Although I never meant to be serious, but at least I will give you appreciation”
This time, the magic battle will begin.
