Sorry for the chapter being way late and on the short side. Due to many personal things coming my way, I couldn't write properly but I now have a new writing schedule with coming new year. Happy Newyear guys! So a couple few things to say, the information chapters will be on hold for a little while due to the fact that I want to dish out all the combat scenes. That means for a little while every five chapters won't be a side chapter. The other thing I wanted to say is that currently right now C.B.T.G will be little slow on updating due to some other stuff but will at least two the three chapters every week I promise. Like always Comment, Give advise, and Ask questions~!
----------------------------------------
Walt S. Nel was never one to back down from a challenge. Countless times while he spent his school years at Zelphon academy as he never lost in terms of physical defense. Of course this didn't mean he never lost at all, but if it came down to who was stronger in terms of defense then Walt was number two in the academy. His families techniques with the spear were the reason for his advanced defense that made him the guardian of his team. With the help of his girlfriend's Storm Magic and his friends martial arts, he didn't think they would lose. Well that same Walt was now scared down to his feet at current sight in front of him. That sight was Lucca.
----------------------------------------
Lucca pushed half of his power down to his feet as he leaped towards the other group. Astonished by the speed, Walt panicked and commanded his girlfriend to cast magic on Lucca. While chanting as quickly as she can, Walt's friend confronted Lucca to stop him. The friend took his fist and sent an uppercut towards Lucca's chin as he used the other hand to disable Lucca's sword hand. This slowed down Lucca but he wasn't even fazed by the punch. He sent his sword flying to the left making the student fly to the right. The student hit the wall at full force knocking him out. Both of his teammates started to panic as the girlfriend started to make her chant faster. Walt tried his best to confront Lucca as Lucca just walked slowly towards them. The girlfriend finally finished her chant as she casted down a wave of gust with parts of ice towards Lucca to make him slow down. Lucca just grunted as he allowed his sword to absorb his magic and sent a magical cut towards the girlfriend. The magical slash took out the wind and the ice as it knocked the girlfriend backwards out of the stage. The last person that was standing was Walt.
"Man... This has to be a dream..."-Walt
Lucca smiled as he waved his sword in a few arcs before standing in front of Walt as if to say 'Come at me'. Walt wasn't the only one surprised, currently the entire audience in the stands was surprise and so were the teachers. Felia herself was taken back by Lucca's actions while Yanicho just said
"Finally he stopped trying to hold back. Well at least for his offense skills that is."-Yanicho
"Sir! What is the meaning of this! Lucca is using a sword?! Isn't he a magician?!"-Felia
"Yes Master! Why is Lucca using a sword!"-Lucias
"The boy can fight. Whether or not he could use magic doesn't mean he can't use the sword."-Yanicho
"But did you teach him that Master? Two years ago his Attack Power was zero!"-Lucias
"Nonsense, I have no interest in such barbaric techniques."-Yanich
"Then how Headmaster?"-Lucias
"The boy simply taught himself. I just happened to have techniques and training manuals on physical combat which he taught himself. The boy is smart."-Yanicho
"?!" -Lucias & Felia
Both Lucias and Felia were lost for words as they stared at the headmaster in more shock.
"But with this Headmaster, it not only makes the boy the number one student in the school but also one of the legendary 'Magic Knights'!"-Felia
"Oh my. You might be right, the boy is considered a Magic Knight."-Yanich
Magic Knight:
A knight who uses not only the weapon of a warrior but even the magical powers of a mage. Most warriors do not use magic due to the fact of their talent being low in Magical Power. But in some rare cases, there are some individuals who can use both with immense power. Those who gain the title Magic Knight are all Ruler Rank warriors.
Of course Yanicho knew of this. In fact, he was the one who urged Lucca to learn the combat arts. Yanicho knew that in the future, Lucca's potential will be something even he could never reach.

Yanicho just beamed at the proformances that Lucca was showing to the team.
"So you're from the Nel clan? I wonder how tough your ancient spear arts that was said to defend against dragons is."-Lucca (A.N.: To be honest, I thought 'Nel clan' was 'Nelchan' when I reread it XD)
Lucca gave a excited stare at Walt as Walt shivered slightly.
He is... Strong.. No not just strong! He's powerful! Can... I do anything to him?
Walt gripped his spear as he stared at Lucca with eyes of fear. Lucca just sighed as he waited for Walt to come towards him. Walt knew deep down that Lucca was waiting for him. Gritting his teeth, Walt lounged towards Lucca like he had no choice. Lucca side stepping, swung down his sword to the right on top of Walt but Walt took the shaft of the spear and blocked the attack. Even though he blocked it , the blow made him fly backwards a few feet. He stared at Lucca like he was a monster but he managed to defend. Lucca then sent a barrage of attacks one after another while Walt could only do was defend.
At this rate... I will lose...
Lucca's attack did not let up while he started to increase the speed.
He...He isn't using full power...?!
Lucca at the moment was only using seventy percent of his real power at the moment but he praised Walt for surviving this long so he slowly increased his power.
80%
Walt starts to walk backwards to defend.
85%
Walt can't parry anymore attacks and must take them head on till finally gets blown away from the final blow.
"Wh..What a monster..."
Collapsing after the last blow, Walt fell off the stage leaving Lucca the winner. The whole crowd was silent at Lucca performance. Every one knew that Walt was the strongest in the six years to have the best physical defense. Even some of the seventh years couldn't break his defense besides using magic. Lucca swung his sword a few times till finally returning to his team. Tolton and Savia just smiled at Lucca as they won their first match. Felia was currently out of her seat panting at the sight of Lucca's power.
"Tha...That boy! I want to fight him so bad!!!"
"Now Felia, Now is not the time for that."
"I know! Headmaster. After the combat festival, can you set up a match between me and the boy?"
"Mmm I'll think about it."
"Thank you sir!"
Felia feeling excited left the area to prepare just in case. Lucias just sighed as Yanicho laughed. Lucca won his match as his team advanced to the next round. The rest of the matches went on till finally the next team was ready for Lucca to fight. The entire time that Lucca waited, he made sure to keep his sword ready for the next battle while Tolton and Savia waited for a chance to finally fight. The team they were up against was "Royal Freeze" which happened to be Falk's team. The other two teammates he had was from major families too. Rina X. Fidosh was a fire magic user that used fire magic on her shield to protect her teammates. The other teammate was Hikua V. Yukaso who used the arts of the dark blade master from his clan. Each stroke was deadly as he used one of his clans ancient swords.
"Humph. What ever family he is from, he looks poor."-Rina
"Now now Rina, you can't be nice to trash. You have to treat them worst right Hikua?"-Falk
".... I don't care. As long as they are strong. It seems one of there members uses a magical sword too."-Hikua
"Even if they do Hikua, no one can beat you right Mr. Demi Magic Knight?"-Falk
Hikua just ignored Falk as he stared deeply at Lucca.
He... Seems to calm. I need to watch out for him the most.
----------------------------------------
What ha...ppened??? How did I lose??
Hikua was staring at sight that bewildered him. Currently right now his two teammates were knocked out and Hikua was laying on the ground with his blade broken. Standing over him was Lucca and Tolton.
