"It's Rudy Goldenstein!"  the students shouted

Rudy stares at Sifrith with a challenging look . (Another one?.)

"I don't mind, let's fight here."

"I don't want to fight an opponent unarmed, pick up your sword now." 

Darren and the others are shocked when they see Rudy. He was one of the top students and a noble. 

They saw how Sifrith broke their swords so easily and quickly realize the difference between them and him.  Darren hopes that Rudy will win to save some face for the nobles.

Rudy unsheathes his flame sword, fire is surrounding the sword. It looks stylish and dangerous. "Aren't you using a sword or not?" he asked again

"No, my finger is enough for the likes of you."

"Do that guy have a death wish?! How dare he talk Rudy Goldenstein like that?" The crowd said

"He doesn't really know how high the skies is."

Rudy is extremely angry because Sifrith looks down on him. 

"Die!" he shouted

Rudy uses [Fire Slash]. A sword slash of about 60cm surrounded with fire is flying rapidly towards Sifrith.

Even though it looks like the fire slash is flying extremely in onlookers eyes, but in front of Sifrith eyes, it's slower than a turtle.

He moves a few steps away from the slash and evaded it easily. The fire slash hit a few students and they are burning now.

"It's dangerous here! Let's back off some meters!" The crowd shouted

Rudy uses his school advance style to attack Sifrith. He leaped towards Sifrith and thrusting him. Following the thrust he executes several deathly stances at the same time.

Sifrith who knows all the weakness of the sword use [sword breaking stance] He uses his index finger as sword and parried all Rudy's attacks without any effort.

"My sword is made from fire, you don't feel any heat at all?" Rudy asked in shock

"A little bit, not enough to burn me."

Sifrith suddenly appeared in front of Rudy, using his index fingers to attack his several weak points on his body.

Rudy is forced to defend with everything he got.

"How fast!" They all thought.

Sifrith only using 30% of his speed, but Rudy nearly can't defend with his speed.

"Sword Rope!" he shouted

(What? He shouts his attacks? How impracticable."

Six fire ropes appeared from the sword attacking Sifrith in close range. Sifrith manages to cut five of the fire ropes, but one manage to scratch his face.

He feels a burning a sensation on his face. (Tsk! I'm careless.)

Sifrith grabbed the fire rope with his hand and pull the sword and its owner towards him.

Rudy has no choice to loosen the grip of his handle. It's extremely humiliating for the swordsman to lose their sword to his opponent.

"You leave me no other choice!" Rudy shouted  The fire sword of Rudy suddenly spins several times faster. The fire around the sword is getting intenser.

"Ultimate attack [Fire Spin] !"

(Again shouting you attack in front of me is foolish.) 

The sword is spinning faster and faster, the fire on the edge of the sword are attacking Sifrith now.

Sifrith use [magic breaking stance] to break this technique. Every magic attack has mana surrounding it, the theory of magic breaking stance is destroying the mana with his own mana.

He learns to read mana after learning sword breaking stance from his master. It's an extremely difficult technique to master. 

 Sifrith sees the mana on four spots of the fire sword, he channels his own mana on his index finger and touches the spots on the sword.

The spinning attack of the fire sword has stopped, even the fire is gone.

"No,it's impossible!" Rudy shouted

"You lose, so can I go now?" asked Sifrith

The spectators are all silent, some applauded,others are whispering to each other.

"How about I fight you?' someone said

A blond girl wearing the school uniform and black boots appeared from the crowd.

(A new challenger...)

"It's Rain Foster!" The crowd said

"The strongest student in this school."
