The next day was the day of our battle, so I went straight to school, as we arranged to meet at the school door.

Lily was not here.

As she had been eliminated, she had gone to watch the grandstand battle with Mother and Mary, and of course my father was not here again.

After a while I arrived at the school door, when I arrived I saw Mary in the school uniform while standing in front of the school.

"Good Morning." I said as I approached Mary.

"Good Morning." Mary answered as she held her hand out for me to hold her.

I held Mary's hand and we went to school. This time we didn't stay in class, just went to the tent that was on the battlefield.

Our battle today was against Michael and Soares in class 3nd year A.

I looked at their status, and their strength was between 40 and 60, their agility was also on this average.

Michael had level 3 water magic and Soares had level 3 earth magic.

'As expected of 3nd year graders.' Even though they are at level 3, they are still far from my ability since I had received a very convenient system.

"Mary and Endl, please enter the arena." The director called us while looking at a sheet of paper.

Apparently it was the sheet they used to write all the battles.

After a while, Mary and I were already inside the battle arena. We were waiting for Michael and Soares to arrive.

"Endl, I don't think I can win against them." Mary said as she waited for them both to arrive.

Apparently Mary was afraid she couldn't beat them both. Well, I don't know what their battle capability is, but if you compare their Status, Mary's is the weakest of them.

"Don't worry, we won't lose." I said that while stroking Mary's head.

After seeing this, Mary seems to have calmed down a bit. Shortly thereafter, Michael and Soares entered the arena.

They both had quite ordinary looks, and they didn't seem to have a strong body either, just like me.

"3 ... 2 ... 1 ... Fight" After a while the director had already announced the fight, so I braced myself and ran towards Michael.

I caught my sword with my right hand and attacked with all my might.

When the pressure of my blow hit him, Michael pulled back a little.

"Ice arrow." Michael let out a spell as he backed away a little.

But I didn't let the magic of getting it right of course.

As my perception had increased so much, I just countered the magic with my sword.

"What?" Michael seems to have been a little surprised that I stopped his magic with the sword.

"Wind blade." When Michael was going to attack me with the sword I threw a wind blade at his hand.

Along with the impact of the blade Michael screamed and dropped his sword.

I took advantage of the opening and thrust the sword toward his neck.

When my sword crashed into his neck Michael fell in the ground, he was not unconscious, but he had given up the battle soon after that.

After the battle was over, I began to watch Mary.

Apparently she was having a hard time, but she was managing to turn her way.

"Gale." Mary tried the same plan again, but it didn't work out.

The dust curtain rose, but Soares didn't fall into his trap and kept attacking her.

Mary was stopping all attacks with the sword, but she has retreated a little.

'I have to help her?' I was thinking of helping her out. but I didn't know if she wanted this.

After thinking a moment I decided to help her, but as I headed toward her, Mary looked at me with a disapproving face.

Seems like she didn't want me to help her, she wanted to win this battle on her own.

Mary, who was a little distracted, received an attack on Soares's sword arm.

Mary seems to have felt a little pain, but that was not enough to take her fighting spirit off.

"Gale." Mary threw another gale, she started running around Soares to try to look for an opening, but Soares could predict where Mary was.

"Wind blade." Mary, who apparently had found an opening, used another wind magic to attack him.

She used the same magic I used to beat Michael.

Soon after, the magic hit the left side of Soares's body, so Mary took advantage of Soares's destabilization and began to strike the sword several times in a row at Soares.

Soares who was still in pain, couldn't hold back Mary's blows for long, so I think it's Mary's victory.

"Stone Arrow" Soares tried to attack Mary with earth magic, but Mary managed to predict Soares's attack and easily deflected.

In the next instant, Mary attacked Soares with another windblade, but this time the blade hit Soares's neck.

Soares fell unconscious soon after.
