The Reincarnators
chapter 18: the duel

Early in the morning at the hexion academy, Kazuto wakes up from his bed, usually after he wakes up he prepares breakfast and eats with leon, but this is his first morning at the academy, then he started his day by doing training on the pitch because even though he has a spacious room, but he didn't want to if his room smelled of sweat so he decided to do the exercises in the field until he saw a student who also practiced.

"i never remember a student like you exercising at this hour, are you a new student, ?" tanyakanya.

"yes, I'm adal-" said Kazuto who wanted to introduce himself but when it was cut.

"kazuto yuki, the 1st grade student who got first place in the entrance examination, and did something that no other recommendation student could ever do, right," he said who chuckled slightly, "you're quite famous among upperclassmen," he said, which made kazuto scratch his head and laugh awkwardly at how people knew his profile.

"my name is arthur palentina," said Arthur who introduced himself, he has long dark brown hair that reaches his neck, with a fairly muscular body, and has a height of several centi of kazuto.

"it's great to meet you senior arthur" said kazuto who got the nod from him.

"by the way is senior arthur training here, ?" ask kazuto.

"yes, I come here every day to train my body, after all to defeat it I have to become stronger" said Arthur, who was heard by Kazuto.

"he, who, ?" kazuto asked arthur.

"ah, it's nothing, by the way what are you doing here kazuto, ?" ask arthur.

"for the same reason, I need to train my body, otherwise my body will stiffen," said Kazuto who twisted his wrist, and given his fight at that time, he needed to become stronger.

"so, then how about we do sparring now," Arthur bargained to kazuto.

"but instead of using magic without the teacher's permission it is forbidden" Kazuto said, he had already read the rules that existed in the academy and in the battle it was already very clear if the magic fight between the disciples was forbidden and for those who broke it would get punished, he said, ren was lucky because he was a new student and yesterday the fight was stopped before severe damage, although in the end he got a slap from the teacher for doing something indecent.

"it's not allowed but there are exceptions, oh you've come" said Arthur, who was waiting for the figure of the man who came, he had short black hair with glasses covering his red eyes.

"let alone what you want to do, to put on that expression," he said, knowing that Arthur must have planned something if he put on that expression.

"come on senior khan, I just want to do sparring instead of it not being too much trouble for you" said Arthur.

"alright, but don't overdo it, you can only do sparring for 5 minutes" khan told the two of them, while kazuto himself was still confused by the recent developments, a few deitk ago they were just talking and the next second they were going to fight.

"alright kazuto, are you ready" said Arthur who raised his fist and charged towards kazuto.

kazuto himself shook Arthur's hand and hit back but Arthur held back the kazuto attack using his left hand and then swung the right hand that kazuto shook towards him which made kazuto lower his head.

"heh, this is good but still not enough," he said, kicking the kazuto sideways but the kazuto only turned back and dodged his attack.

"you know this is a little boring" he said, after which his fist was covered with earth and he stretched out his fist making the ground around the kazuto move against him.

"what the hell is this, the ground is moving," said Kazuto, who avoided the backlash emerging from the ground as if controlled by arthur lapping the air.

"oi is danger know," cried Arthur to the kazuto who threw a ball of lightning at him.

"you can control the land and use your hands to control the land, right" said Kazuto who made Arthur was shocked by what Kazuto said.

"it's half right and half wrong, I don't control the land of kazuto" said Arthur, after which the ground lining his hands peeled off and was coated by something windy, when that kazuto immediately activated his blue magic mode because it seemed like the next fist would be quite dangerous.

"tornado fist," cried Arthur who turned his fist into a wind attack and fired a tornado wind attack towards the kazuto that he barely had time to avoid because of the wide enough distance of attack.

"you're really interesting, so this is the fashion that the professor talks about huh, this is a-good" said Arthur who was getting excited and was intending to attack the kazuto again but was stopped by the khan.

"it's enough, it's been 5 minutes" said khan, much to his dismay as he could do nothing but agree.

"come on senior khan, give us 5 extra minutes when the fight is getting more exciting," said Arthur who wants to continue his fight with kazuto but is banned by khan because it has exceeded the time limit they have set.

"even though I'd like to see what the outcome of this fight looks like, but the rules remain the rules I'm sure you understand that better than most students, right Arthur," the khan reminded Arthur again of the academy's rules, "by the way I hope you guys clean up the mess you're making" said the khan who pulled up his glasses and pointed towards the field where they were sparring, and after that kazuto and Arthur clean up the mess they made and return to the dormitory.

"huh, I'm hungry it's time for breakfast well, I'd better go to the cafeteria" said Kazuto, who was in his uniform and went to the cafeteria to order food.

"oi kazuto here," said ren who called kazuto to sit next to him.

"ren how was your morning, ?" kazuto asked ren.

"badly, I'm still not used to sleeping alone with other people, plus my roommate snores very loudly, it keeps me up all night" Ren said, "then what about you, ?" tanyakanya.

"i slept quite comfortably, I also met with the upperclassman this morning and fought a little battle match against him" said Kazuto using a soft tone only heard by ren.

"wait a minute, it's not that fighting is forbidden if it doesn't get permission from the teacher then how are you,! Do you want to make an illegal fight, ?" ask Ren who thinks his friend has committed the offence.

"no, I didn't commit any offence, the upperclassman said it didn't matter if there was a senior khan there," explained kazuti who left ren a little confused.

"wait, so you want to say if any student would allow another student to sparring without the teacher's permission, he would have a great influence until he could do that," ren said that chewed his food.

"yes, I think so too, I think maybe this school created a hierarchy for its students," said kazuto.

"hierarchy yes, if you say so I think it might be true" ren said

"we just have to ask our teacher about it" said Kazuto, who ate his breakfast.

"uugghh, professor sophia well," said ren who recalled the punishment from professor sophia yesterday.

"hurry up, classes will start in 1 hour" said Kazuto, who finished his breakfast and ren then went to their dormitory for the next class.
