Swoosh.
Bonita's left foot stepped forward.
Swoosh.
Elena, on the other hand, took a step back.
Unusually, she stood with the spearhead on the ground, and as she took a step back and swung her arms in a wide circle, the spearhead faced forward.
Davian watched their movements intently.
'They're using the characteristics of their weapons.'
Bonita stepped forward to close the distance.
Elena, whose strength lies in long distances, retreated to adjust the distance.
Tap!
Bonita was the first to rush forward.
'Her movements have become much sharper since she met the Ego Sword.'
Even though Elena Lawrance is a spear master with a power level of 6 stars or higher.
The match might end sooner than expected.
How many people can stop Bonita's rush?
At that moment.
Whoosh.
Elena threw her body back and swung her spear widely.
Clang!
The spearhead that drew a large circle accurately struck Bonita's sword.
"Wow!"
"Whoa!"
Exclamations erupted from all around.
Davian also watched Elena's movements with surprised eyes.
Whoosh!
After swinging the spear widely to strike Bonita's sword.
She pulled the spear back and immediately thrust it forward.
Her left hand is holding the end of the pole.
The spear and Elena's arm are stretched out in a straight line.
Adding Elena's arm length, the spear tip was far enough to pierce Bonita's body.
Bonita hurriedly rotated her sword and barely managed to block Elena's thrust.
Surprise also bloomed on Bonita's face.
Elena, after pulling the spear back halfway, grabbed the pole with both hands and took a firm stance.
"Not bad?"
"You too. I thought you'd get your stomach pierced if you rushed in with that short sword."
This time, Elena rushed in first.
Whoosh.
The spear that drew a large circle was aimed at Bonita's ankle.
Clang!
Bonita lightly lowered her sword and blocked the spear.
"I expected that move."
The spear that collided with Bonita's sword seemed to bounce back, but it drew an arc and returned, this time aiming for her head.
Clang!
She quickly stepped back and thrust again.
Bonita dodged the thrust by jumping to the side.
Whoosh.
The spear that pierced the air swung back and slashed at Bonita.
Clang!
Nubes shouted in surprise.
"What! Bonita can't even get close!"
Bellum, who was equally surprised, replied.
"Get close? She looks busy just blocking the attacks?"
"I've never seen Bonita like this!"
They couldn't watch the fight as closely as Bellum and Nubes could.
But the magic students were just as surprised.
Karin nudged Latia's shoulder.
"Latia, I don't think I've ever seen Bonita get pushed back like this while holding a weapon?"
Latia nodded.
"I know. That Elena girl. She must be really skilled."
Their movements were too fast to see properly.
But they could tell that Bonita couldn't even get close to Elena.
Clang!
Bonita swung her sword strongly and knocked Elena's spearhead away.
The spearhead was knocked far to the side.
Since the weapon was long, there was bound to be a limit to how much she could withstand with her wrist strength.
Bonita's movement accurately judged that point.
Although it was knocked away by Bonita's strength, Elena's spear, as it had always done, drew an arc and returned to its place.
When it returned, it had much faster and stronger power than when it was knocked away.
Clang! Clang!
Taking advantage of the gap, Bonita moved forward step by step, hitting the steel pole with her sword.
Before she knew it.
Elena's body was within Bonita's range.
Although it was her first time fighting a proper spear master.
Bonita had accurately grasped the strengths and weaknesses of the spear in a short time.
"This is the end."
Bonita's sword stretched out towards Elena's front shoulder.
At that moment.
Whoosh.
Elena's spear was pulled back as if by magic.
Not magic, but Elena's wrist strongly pulled back the pole she was holding.
The long back part of the pole passed through Elena's armpit and out behind her body.
As much as it went back, the length of the spear left in front became shorter.
Clang!
Elena's spear tip struck Bonita's sword.
At the same time, Elena quickly retreated.
'She's trying to create distance again! Not a chance!'
Bonita also rushed in quickly.
Clang! Clang!
After a few exchanges.
Elena, running quickly to the left instead of the back, succeeded in securing the distance of the spear again.
Elena's outstretched spear tip stood towards Bonita's heart.
Bonita's sword, raised diagonally, was aimed at Elena's neck.
"I apologize for saying it was useless."
Elena shrugged her shoulders.
"I'll also take back what I said about Elton Academy being nothing special."
Liber breathed a sigh of relief and opened his mouth.
"That's a relief. Are they going to stop fighting now?"
Latia shook her head.
"What are you talking about? Don't you know Bonita?"
"Huh? They're apologizing to each other now……."
"That's one thing."
Whoosh.
Bonita's sword vibrated finely and emitted a deep blue aura.
Boom.
Elena's spearhead was the same.
Since the weapon was long, the resonance generated by pushing in internal energy was even lower and deeper.
"Let's really fight."
"Okay."
Huff, huff.
Bonita Portis repeatedly gasped and exhaled.
It had been a long time since she had met such a strong opponent.
Elena Lawrance was also gasping for breath.
"You…… you're really strong?"
"You too. It was quite a good match."
Bonita withdrew the sword that had been aimed at Elena's neck, who had fallen to the ground, and extended her left hand.
Elena grabbed Bonita's hand and stood up without hesitation.
The spear made of steel pole was lying a little away, stuck in the ground.
Elena shook her head.
"It's the first time I've ever dropped my spear while fighting. It's not just skill, you're really relentless. Bonita Portis."
Elena walked towards the spear and pulled it out.
"I lost. I apologize once again for making disparaging remarks about Elton Academy."
Davian's accommodation.
"So, you actually wanted to come to the academy?"
Elena Lawrance nodded.
"My grandfather passed away and I became completely orphaned, but fortunately, a nobleman who recognized my talent decided to sponsor me."
"But you didn't apply because Elton Academy doesn't teach spearmanship?"
"Yeah. But I was too proud to go to another academy. So I just chose to get a job in the Royal Guard."
Bonita asked.
"That's amazing. So after your grandfather passed away, you trained in spearmanship all by yourself?"
Elena stroked the handle of the long spear that was leaning against the sofa.
"Yeah. I don't have any thoughts of holding any other weapon besides this."
Bellum clapped his hands.
"You were really amazing. A spear, maybe it's stronger than a sword? I never thought you'd push Bonita this far."
"I lost in the end."
"Well, the opponent was bad. Bonita is crazy about getting stronger with swordsmanship."
Elena Lawrance chuckled.
"I was the same way, but I lost. I admit it. Maybe I'm being stubborn. But I can't change anything now, can I? Spearmanship is also a legacy my grandfather left me."
Bellum nodded.
"Yeah. Everyone has a story."
Bonita turned to Davian.
"But why are you suddenly learning spearmanship?"
Because I got the Spear of Authority.
I heard it's a divine object given by the god Deus.
"Just, well. I thought it might help."
Marquis Espin Ellaina gave Davian a week, but.
Davian, who had the Eye to See the Sword Path skill, had gained a great realization just by watching Bonita and Elena's fight today.
'The advantages are clear, but the disadvantages are also clear.'
It may seem like a simple proposition.
But Davian's conclusion about spearmanship after watching today's fight was this.
But he had no intention of ending his spearmanship studies with today's realization.
That crazy spearmaster, Elena Lawrance.
Especially the way she quickly grabbed the spear and responded when the distance inevitably became close was really amazing.
If she's that skilled, I can learn something more.
"Okay, final review. As with swordsmanship, distance is really important in spearmanship. I can't emphasize it enough."
Elena Lawrance stepped forward with large strides and stretched out her arm.
A natural movement from the sole of her foot to her shoulder.
The outstretched wooden pole stopped in the air.
"If you use your arm length, you can stab an attack from a distance twice your height in an instant. The opponent won't even think that the spear tip will pierce their body from that distance."
Whoosh.
She pulled the spear back and rotated her body.
"Same with slashing attacks. If you can push the speed to the limit, you can defend and attack at the same time like this."
Thwack!
After hitting the rock with the wooden pole.
Whoosh.
When she gave strength to her wrist in the opposite direction, the wooden pole returned faster and hit the rock again.
"You can also do consecutive attacks."
Rumble.
This time, she pushed internal energy into the wooden pole.
She spun it around and stretched it forward.
Wham.
The rock that was hit by the wooden pole shattered into pieces.
"Because it's long, the end sways, but even with a small movement of the wrist, you can bring out great power when you go to the spear tip."
Rumble.
Davian, who was imitating Elena's movements from the side, pushed internal energy into the wooden pole and spun it around, stretching it into the air.
Kuaaa.
Spinning mana swords poured out.
Because he was holding a wooden pole, he only carefully emitted it by greatly reducing its power.
But the rotating, fierce energy pierced through the air for a long time.
"Today is the last day, right? I've been teaching you for a week, and there's something I've really been wondering about."
"What is it?"
"What the hell are you?"
"Suddenly?"
"How can you copy all the movements you've seen once like that? Even the subtle flow of the spear tip. And what was that you showed me just now? And yesterday, and the day before."
It's a long story.
Do I have to start by explaining the movement-erasing training I did with Mons four years ago?
Do I have to explain that I got the Eye to See the Sword Path skill first?
Do I have to explain the day I awakened the mana sword according to Hugo Molton's teachings?
Should I also explain that I cleared the quest, obtained the Archmage's Heart, and ate the Fruit of the Millennium Tree, and currently have the internal energy of 10 stars?
"I just improve quickly."
"Ha! That's it? You just improve quickly? You not only sucked up my lifetime of spearmanship in a week, but you're also emitting some kind of energy I don't even know with a wooden pole?"
"The people who taught me swordsmanship for the first time said the same thing."
Mons and Bonita Portis.
Professor Stella Cloud and Leo Martiang, Head of the Swordsmanship Department.
Even President Hugo Molton.
They are all very grateful people.
"What about magic? I heard you're amazing at magic too."
Professor Sirims Andrian, Head of the Magic Department, and Professor Camilla Lucia.
Even the Red Dragon Ignis.
They are all very grateful people and dragons.
"Anyway. Class is over. Bonita too, and you too. The world is really wide and there are many strong people."
"Thank you, Elena Lawrance."
Elena slung the large bag she had been carrying from the capital over her shoulder.
"Then I'm leaving. Thanks to you, I can visit my hometown for the first time in a while."
"Goodbye."
"See you later. If we have business."
Elena Lawrance.
A crazy spear master.
Affiliated with the 5th Royal Guard led by Marquis Espin Ellaina.
"We'll probably have business again."
