My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

The next match was between Emily and Sophia and now, they were both in the middle of the stage staring at each other. Emily was a girl who had fiery red hair and a cold face just like Sophia. They both held their swords with Sophia holding her scimitar and Emily with her Katana blade.

After the warhorn resounded, Sophia didn't take any chances as she dashed towards Emily who was calmly taking a stance. And in less than a second, Sophia was already in front of Emily with a downward slash that almost caught Emily off guard but she quickly used her blade to block the hit.

Sophia quickly acted fast, quickly moved back just an inch and then came back with a roundhouse kick but it was blocked by Emily with her own roundhouse kick. Emily then threw Sophia away with her leg and then dashed forward with a sword strike from above but Sophia quickly blocked it with her sword while the strike was pushing her down on her knees.

But she gritted her teeth and poured her Qi into the blade and her arms then she managed to push Emily away but it only caused her to move just an inch but it was enough for Sophia who quickly stood up and swept Emily off her feet causing her to stumble and was about to fall.

But Emily quickly used her sword to prop herself up. But before she could stand properly, Sophia was already upon her with a strong axe kick that sent Emily crashing down with much force.

Then Sophia quickly drew her sword and struck at Emily's neck but she was stopped by General Wilfred who held her hand and declared her the winner therefore awarding the second years their first win for the day.

Emily was whisked away to the clinic to check herself up while Sophia slowly made her way back to her friends. Seeing Sophia walk back towards them, they were just cheering her on.

"Woah! For a second there, I thought you were going to lose to her." Vynn said.

"Were you doubting me?" Sophia asked.

"No, it's just with the level of skill which the third years have shown so far, I thought we didn't have a chance." Vynn said.

"Well speak for yourself." Sophia said while going over to her spot.

In the Head Generals viewing booth, they were really impressed by Sophia's win.

"Well, obviously she was going to win after all, she was on our radar." Gunther said.

"But even the rank 1 of the second year was also on our radar too." Rowan said. "And he still lost."

"Well, I think he was holding back." Humfree said, stroking his long white beard.

"What do you mean?" Gunther asked.

"You don't know anything about who that boy is." Humfree said.

"Will you tell us who he is?" Rowan demanded.

Humfree just sighed. "You fools! What was his last name called?"

"Dem wh…" Rowan stuttered as his eyes widened in surprise.

Even Gunther quickly realised what Humfree was hinting at. They hadn't realised it earlier because they thought anybody could have the last name Dem but since Humfree was putting emphasis on it, they now realised.

"You mean…" Gunther didn't want to say it out loud.

"Yes." Humfree replied. "Jack's family are part of the Big three and I think he's a direct descendant to them."

"Well that is shocking." Gunther said. "Well, I wonder what the Big Three are planning for them to send their children here. Don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against them sending their kids here but it's still confusing because they could also train their descendants themselves so why send them here?"

"Exactly." Rowan said. "Two of the Big Three Kids are here. I wonder if the last one will also be here too."

"Anyway, I think we should focus on the match for now and worry about the Big Three motives." Humfree said as the next match was starting.

The next match of the day was between Geo and Peter, two students who used a two-handed axe as their choice of weapon.

As Peter made his way to the centre of the arena, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Who could blame him? After all, the third year students were beasts in their own way. Thinking about beasts, an image of Jake appeared in his head.

Somehow, anytime it seemed like Jake was cornered, he always managed to pull through and win his fight. Currently, Peter knew that Jake was stronger than him in every way. He wasn't ashamed of admitting it. But now, he has to focus on his match because currently, Geo was already in the centre of the arena waiting for Peter.

Peter now stood confidently in front of Geo and then the war horn was blown signalling the start of the fight between Peter and Geo. Peter didn't charge first, rather he waited and baited his time for Geo to attack first and which he did.

Geo dashed towards Peter with full speed which was surprising because he had a full set of armour on his body which seemed heavy and coupled with his huge size, many would have thought he wouldn't be able to run that fast, but he did.

Charging right at Peter with a speed that seemed inhuman, Geo was already in front of Peter while swinging one of his axe towards Peter's head but Peter easily ducked avoiding it then Peter slashed at Geo's stomach with his own axe but it just made a clang on the armour not even damaging it in the slightest.

Currently, Peter's axes were at the advanced tier and he was even coating it with his Qi so it was sharper than normal but it didn't damage it one bit. Which means either Geo's armour was of a higher tier or it had a skill that made it more durable.

Weapons or armour at the higher stage like an advanced weapon and above, tend to have a skill which is called an active skill. It could range from offensive skills or defensive skills. Peter was thinking along the right lines.

Geo's armour had an active skill that allowed it to be 5 times more durable and also feel lighter on his body making him not feel the whole weight of the armour. After seeing his strike didn't work, Peter moved back a bit but Geo quickly moved forward and swung his axe towards Peter's chest.

Peter quickly used his own axe to block the strike but the strength of the hit sent Peter skidding a bit. 'Darn it! These third year students are no joke.' Peter thought, gritting his teeth.

Then Peter managed to push the hands away with all his strength but the next thing, a kick smashed into Peter's head sending all his whole body tumbling and bouncing around on the arena.

Where the third year students were, they just scoffed at the second years. "Pathetic, if all of them are like this, we have the win in the bag."Jasmine said.

"You should learn not to underestimate your opponents." Alex said. "Remember, a second year student managed to defeat Emily who is the rank 2 in the whole academy."

Hearing this comment, Emily just turned her face away because she was ashamed of her loss. She couldn't believe that she lost. She is the second strongest in the academy and she was bested by a second year student.

Meanwhile, where the second year students were standing, they were also having their own discussions.

"Do you think Peter can win?" Cindy was obviously worried for him with the way she was seeing Geo toy around with him.

"Tch." Sophia scoffed. "Even if Peter acts like a fool sometimes, he is still certainly strong. Strong enough to defeat a D rank adventurer that ambushed him and Jake in the forest."

"So now tell me, between a D rank adventurer and a third year student of an academy, who is stronger?"

Cindy didn't answer because the answer was very obvious and now, they were now watching the fight.

After being kicked on the head and crashing on the floor, Peter was laying on the floor unmoving which got some people in the crowd wondering if he was dead or not. Geo just calmly walked towards Peter and then bent down to get a good look at Peter.

"So pathetic." Geo said as he raised his axe to strike Peter's head but Peter quickly rolled over a little bit to get away from the axe strike then he backflipped while in the process kicking Geo's head very hard sending him falling on his butt and partly hitting his head on the floor.

Standing up, Peter walked towards Geo who was now getting up from the ground but then Peter quickly used the butt of his axe to whack Geo hard on the head and then he pointed his axe towards his neck which made General Wilfred come over and announce Peter as the winner.

Geo was taken to the clinic so was Peter who sustained an internal injury in his head because of the kick delivered to him by Geo. The crowd were really surprised because twice now, a second year managed to pull out a win.

This has never happened in the history of Aurora Academy where second year students were this strong. Only rarely did a talent pop out once a while but now, they could see that there was more than one talent among the second years.

Which made most of the parents sitting in the stands, want to send their children here next year.

"And now, the next match of the day is between our very own Harrrrrry Thane vs Jakeeee Lucas, our very own underdog!"

Immediately, the crowd erupted in cheers. The crowd were excited about seeing a fight between these two after hearing what Jake had said the previous day.

Leaving his friends, Jake walked confidently towards the centre of the arena with his gauntlets equipped in his hands, his sword in his hand, his advanced tier boot that he had crafted again from the wolf beast and some pieces of intermediate armour on his body.

Immediately Jake walked out, the cheers erupted again making the arena feel like it was shaking from the sound. Then after a few seconds, Harry walked out and now, Jake and Harry were standing opposite each other while staring into each other's eyes intently.

"And the match will begin in 3…2…1…"
