Chapter 13: The Tournament Part 2: Holy Warrior Vs Burst Knight
There was literal shock in the arena after seeing how Ryujin defeated class A’s strongest swordsman but it was not over yet.
“THEY ARE CHEATING!!!THIS MUST BE SOME KIND OF CHEAT A FRAGMENT WAS USED HERE!!”
“Heinz calm down!!”
“The next match is about to begin!”
The name selection begun as soon as they dragged Bolt’s body from the place, it was now a matter of how they were going to strategize after this.
GREEN BALKOV VS. JAMES HILMER
The two stood a considerable distance away from each other, Green had changed a lot since the last time James saw him, not only had he grown muscular and tall even the aura emitting from his body showed he lacked an absurd amount of openings, it was like as if he had been preparing for this day. His red hair which was said to be a blessing and curse in the Holy Kingdom and his black eyes were a omen that he was never to amount to wield magic his entire life but things were different after seeing that dragon fight it was possible that things were impossible were now open.
“You look scary Green”
“Ah do I?”
“Yes your face is stiff and heroic I dread you have become a monster”
“No I have become what I was supposed to be ,a knight”
“I see, then I shall crush your false strength”
“Come and show me your power Warrior James”
The sound of a sword being drawn quickly from its sheath could be heard as James threw his sword down at Green in a swing but that was useless as Green merely blocks it with his gauntlet shifting his body to the side where he kicks James pushing him off a fair distance. James is shocked by the mere strength that is displayed by Green who just smiles at him.

“First Form - Unlock-“
The black armour on his body began to shine just like the last match that showed Ryujin his true power, it transformed into jet black and gold armour which was light on his body as he ran with ease towards James at a frightening speed.
“SWORD ART: WOLF FANGS”
The slash sped to Green who smiles a grin even bigger than the last one and effectively dodges it appearing right next to James who couldn’t sense his presence, the sword that was on his right side suddenly swept up to the left dragging James across the ground but using the heaviness in his armour he suddenly stops only to watch Green approach him once more at a pace that was unreasonable.
“SWORD ART: DRAGON CLAWS”
A slash is done which takes the form as claw marks heading towards Green who stretches his arm out and receives it with little to no damage gaining momentum enough to crash against the wall kicking off the surface arriving at James at a speed that frightened him. He just stares as Green approaches him once more at a speed which is hard to grasp with a unexperienced eye, he dodges the first slash that Green has ever done throughout his battle and fails to see the kicks that hits abdomen smashing him into the wall but before such happens he jumps to the side rolling out from the axe kick that Green does , with hope burning in his chest he slashes away at him but the attack is blocked the two look at each other face to face.
“You are not using your full strength are you James?You will die you know?”
“Ugh I got caught huh?Fine I will be serious now”
“So will I”
The arena explodes in pressure as James pushes back Green and plunges his sword inwards something to which Green blocks effortlessly, the sword flows from a straight line to hit him downwards something Green blocks using his gauntlet and stabs his sword into the gap that was left by James who pulls back hesitantly, like a storm Green pushes his sword against that of James creating sparks which fly from between their swords. They distance themselves before crashing into each other’s swords deflecting and parrying their own attacks it seemed like a light show between two warriors was going on. They stop as Green is a good distance away from James to which he sends another sword clash up his alley, sliding his sword down James’ sword he manages to slash his shoulder before jumping backwards and stabbing into the same spot. James seeing this stops it by slashing the sword upwards sending the sword flying into the air his smile grows as victory is now close but such is short lived as the sword now appears in Green’s left hand. The result is James being stabbed in the shoulder backing off before getting even more injuries.
“Ahhhhhhhh I don’t know the last time since I felt pain but now I tasted it once more I am not going to hold back”
“YOU FOOL DON’T USE THAT!!!”
The aura around James changed as his warrior class vanished and was replaced by something else more powerful, a berserker. The sheer strength that the attacks that James was now sending were enough to kill a normal human but Green wasn’t human anymore as he clashed head-on without escape and kept on slashing more on his body and armour that the fight was now becoming epic.
“I am sorry if I am being rude, but this battle will take too long allow me to finish it in one go”
“Huh?!I AM THE ONE WHO SHALL END IT GREEN!!!”
Green held his sword its sheath as his armour begins to glow, the holes in it begin to swell in energy as James sprints towards Green.
“Edge of My Sword, Diamond of My Battle, Blood of My Foe, Heart of Legends-“
“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEE!!!!”
“I AM ALPHA BURST KNIGHT!!!”
The slash that is released breaks the pressure of before, and eats away even at the mana that James had poured his sword in. The arena was in shock once more as it stared at the collapsed James.
“You……..just….what job did you take?”
“I gained the job of a Burst Knight”
“Hou………….How interesting”
