Sword Rankers
The End Of Secondt Test

**l! I forgot them both. The cowboy swore in his heart. He focused too much on Ran and Enzo, forgetting about William and Eduardo.

The cowboy man was surrounded from all directions, anyone who saw him would know if he had not had the slightest chance.

In a situation where there is no hope, the reaction shown by the cowboy man is very unexpected... Laughs.

"Hehehe... Ahahahah.. Ahahahahahahahah..... Oh my... I didn't expect to be stuck like this, it seemed like I was too arrogant and underestimated you guys. How else, no matter what I do, I will definitely lose. But at least, I want to look cool at the end." The cowboy raised his right hand.

A terrifying amount of aura emerged from the cowboy man, "While I'm going to lose, I should at least show a cool figure at the end right?"

The stitches that Enzo made on the cowboy man's fingers detached along with the increasing aura of the cowboy man.

Everyone put on a watchful attitude, but there was one person who instead seemed happy with the situation. He was none other than Eduardo.

With eyes that sparkle like a child who gets his birthday gift.

"HahaHaha... Here dong to attract a little, no need for tricks of sorts, a direct fight like this is always interesting!" Shouted Eduardo in excitement.

Eduardo had intended to run against the cowboy, but William stopped him, "Let me go ahead."

"Huh!? Whatchu mean? Don't ruin my fun."

"Eduardo! Don't you want to graduate? Leave it to me, if you advance, you will definitely get carried away again and instead make it longer. We only have 2 hours and 30 minutes left."

"Curtain! I know, damn it... Just give it to you!" Eduardo obeyed William and withdrew.

William came forward and pointed his sword at the cowboy man, the cowboy man responded happily to William.

"Ah.... Thank you for fighting me head on, it's such an honor to be able to fight William Austin."

"Don't hesitate, because I will fight you seriously."

"Of course, I have no intention of fighting half-and-half."

The cowboy pointed his hands towards William, his aura growing stronger and making the surroundings vibrate, and then, a large number of holograms appeared around him and materialized slowly.

"Come! My troops!" Shouted the cowboy guy.

In an instant, all the holograms around him manifested into a single being in large numbers. And the form that comes out is... The horsemen.

There appeared a hologram of mighty horses ridden by a hologram of gallant-looking knights. Although it was only a hologram, Ran could feel how powerful they were.

William responded to it seriously, the aura he released was also not playful, the air around him seemed to tremble and explode due to William's aura.

"Half Armor!" William said slowly.

In an instant, an iron armor appeared enveloping almost all of William's body except his head.

This form is similar to William's berserker mode, the difference is, it does not feel the gripping feeling of this William. But still, the aura he exuded felt extremely domineering.

"Hehe... Thanks for being serious." Said the cowboy, he then rode on one of the most powerful horse holograms.

All the holograms of the horsemen held their respective weapons, some carried spears and some carried swords.

"Just be!" Challenge William.

"Instant!!!!" The cowboy shouted orders.

All the holograms of the rider, brandishing his weapon forward, "Uwogghhhhhhh...." Everyone screamed while pushing his horse.

Scruff... Scruff... Scruff...

The roar of the cavalry made Enzo and Ran instantly retreat to safety, they both knew that this was not the place for them to interfere.

While William, still in his place, stood firm. Then William turned his sword back, then his sword emitted a very dazzling light, everyone knew that it was not an ordinary light.

"Yakuu!!! Don't retreat!!!" The cowboy man kept pushing his army forward no matter what. He screamed to encourage himself.

"Receive this!"

Sriijng....

William slashed the cavalry before him, a long beam following William's sword swing, and in an instant, all the cavalry before him, split into 2.

"Errrgh..." The cowboy groaned in pain, he managed to avoid William's slash, but not all of them, his legs were still hit, although he was still lucky because his legs were not cut.

William approached the cowboy who was moaning in pain on the ground, and William pointed his sword at the cowboy's face, "Give up, you've lost."

"Ugh... Well... Hoshs... Right, I've been ka-"

Zappp

The cowboy disappeared, and was replaced by a teddy bear.

William was surprised and looked around, "Where is he?"

Eduardo immediately shouted giving the command, "This is the ability of his partner who can swap the position of objects, search around! It must not be far."

Team Ran immediately looked around to find the cowboy.

While the cowboy man was behind a big rock and was swept by his partner who carried a basket filled with dolls.

"Fred... Escape, hosh... Hoshs... If you run away with that pin and hold on until this test is over, we'll still win." Say the cowboy with distress.

"Ti.hdak... Kha.dol... Ha..lus... Kabhur..." Said the man carrying a doll basket and was called Fred by the cowboy man.

"No... I find it hard to walk again... You're the one who should run."

"Ti.hdak... Ma.hu.." Said Fred with a messy sentence.

"Please... Listen to me this time." The cowboy begged.

But Fred did not listen to him at all, he let go of the cowboy man and came out from behind a rock.

"There! Catch her!" Eduardo screamed when he saw Fred.

"No! No Fred, no!" The cowboy pleaded softly.

But Fred keeps going up against Ran's team, Fred takes off his basket, then throws all the dolls in it around.

Eduardo did not care about what Fred did, he immediately darted to beat Fred. However, when Eduardo got in front of him, Fred immediately moved with a doll behind Eduardo and then hit Eduardo from behind slowly.

Of course the attack had no effect, it only made Eduardo upset. Without turning around, Eduardo kicked back, but Fred had moved back, Eduardo had only managed to kick the stuffed rabbit.

Fred moved quite far, Eduardo became annoyed at being played with.

Zappp

Fred again swapped his position with the doll who was in Eduardo's blind spot and hit it slowly.

Zap Zap Zap Zap

This was repeated by Fred although he could not do great damage, but it made Eduardo angry.

"Grahhh!!! Stop you little rat!" Eduardo tried by all means to catch Fred, but Fred was too quick to change his position.

But, that didn't apply to Ran.

"All of you, back off!" Ran shouted giving orders, Enzo and William complied easily, while Eduardo obeyed him while grumbling in annoyance.

The three of them came out from the area filled with puppets so that Fred could not reach, and Ran advanced into it.

Fred seemed unconcerned with his opponent, he had no intention of fighting to defeat his opponent, but only to buy time.

Fred keeps moving on endlessly to confuse Ran, but Ran realizes the pattern shown by Fred after receiving his attacks multiple times.

There! Ran pierced into the empty space with his sword, it looked like a futile attack, but the empty space Ran aimed at was instantly filled by Fred.

Jrassh...

Fred's shoulder is pierced by Ran's sword.

"Ah... Ugh.. Agaga... It's ok..." Fred screamed in pain after his shoulder was stabbed.

Ran manages to correctly guess Fred's next position by analyzing the pattern shown by Fred.

Fred who was hit by the attack instantly collapsed in pain, "Aghhh... Ha.kit... To..long..." Fred was crying in pain, blood pouring from his shoulder.

Seeing his partner in pain, the cowboy man went on a rampage, "Khhkkk.... Your base ba*****n let go of my sister!"

By forcing his body to stand up, the cowboy man ran staggeringly towards Ran.

Seeing his hopeless face, Ran again remembered with the woman he had defeated, he again remembered his mistake. But this time, he did not intend to repeat the same mistake.

Without a doubt, Ran attacked the cowboy man with a cross slash on his chest.

"Shookkk..." The cowboy fell to the ground.

Ran looked at the man, still remembering his guilt, but he also remembered his purpose.

"Where's the pin?"

"Bahhh...Huhh...Huhh... Just die you!" Said the cowboy to curse Ran.

Ran also has no other choice, he again attacked the cowboy man until his HP runs out, automatically, the cowboy man will be sent to the room for eliminated participants.

Seeing his partner fading away little by little, Fred cried loudly, "Ka...Sis... Hix... Hix... Ka's...Sis..."

Fred who was crying became the last moment that the cowboy man saw, in his heart, he said, Sorry... My sister's... Before he was finally sent to the Elimination room.

The red pin fell when the guy was sent to the locker room, Ran took the red pin and held it in his chest, this time he will make sure that this pin will not be stolen again.

Fred was still crying, Eduardo who was annoyed immediately kicked him until his HP was exhausted and Fred was sent to the elimination room.

"Great work! At least this time you have no doubt." Praise Eduardo to Ran.

"Yes!" Answer Ran briefly.

Enzo and William also gather with William.

"Great work!"

"Feed!"

"Yes, but it looks like we still can't celebrate this success." Ran Said.

Ran realized something around, a place that was originally quiet, this time it felt very crowded.

From various directions emerged other participants who were also dead teams, there were at least 5 teams consisting of 20 people

The man in the long brown robe with the narrowest eyes came forward, "Well... Whoa... Looks like you guys have a pin, right? What if you just give it to us?"

"Silly, you guys should be hostile to each other, how can you work together?" Eduardo.

"Well... It's a trivial affair, the most important thing for us is to get rid of you two, Eduardo and William. About that pin we can take care of later after beating you."

"so... That so? Goody! Nice work! Come on up here you all!" Shouted Eduardo in excitement.

The squinty man quipped and the double Dagger, he turned it in his hand and then shot towards Eduardo.

"Hey you! Do your best to hold on, don't get the pin down a second time." Eduardo.

Everyone nodded, then Ran's team split into 2 groups, Enzo with Eduardo and Ran along with William.

Each fought both to cover the other's shortcomings.

Eduardo came forward brutally, he beat anyone in front of him, no matter he was torn apart, stabbed, or shot, it only made Eduardo stronger and more brutal. He bit and hit the faces of everyone nearby.

Bhuakk... Crack....

Aghh... My nose...

Akhh...

Aaaaa.....

Blood splashed everywhere, roars of pain resounded in this place, while Eduardo was still advancing. Thanks to the support of Enzo who continued to heal Eduardo's wounds while fighting, Eduardo was still able to continue to advance.

"Come on all of you! There's 2 hours left for us to have fun."

While Ran and William, they both do duets, they keep each other's backs from being attacked.

Srakk... Sringggs... Chwakk...

Their swords swung everywhere, slashing at their enemies, losing.

Although Ran's ability is still very lacking, there is a William who is ready to fill the shortcomings, with his extraordinary skills.

...****************...

"Ahhhhh.... I'm tired."

"Take me too."

"Where else!? There's still time!"

"Eduardo is enough."

Team Ran was resting, their seats were filled with fresh blood everywhere.

They managed to defend for 2 hours against all the participants who attacked them.

Their bracelet rang, a sign to end the test time.

[Congratulations... You graduated!]

Seeing the announcement on their bracelet, Ran and Enzo compactly fell lying down in relief after all the heavy events that befell them.

We're... Win.
