Death Guns In Another World

After hearing that the interesting part was about to begin, Alex licked his lower lip. Strangely Gracier was also doing the same.

Clearing his throat, Conrad looked at Alex for a moment before speaking.

Alex had a bad feeling about this.

''Like most of you are aware of Alex's strength after witnessing his duels. There will be no need for him to battle because you have seen how he fight.''

Some of the Adventurers seem to not appreciate this news. Alex couldn't help but sigh. Being glared at by Conrad they quickly shut down whatever complaints they had.

Suddenly, Eleonora lifted her hand, glancing at her Conrad asked.

''What is it? Eleonora.''

''Nothing, I'm just saying if I win my fight, can I fight against Alex?"

Conrad thought for a moment before nodding his head, Eleonora immediately overjoyed and winked at Alex, the latter smiled. He was also wanting to exchange blows with the mysterious girl. His wish had just been granted, Alex couldn't be happier.

Conrad decided to move on.

''First round Eleonora vs Golfak.''

Hearing who his opponent was, Golfak grinned while making a cracking sound with his head.

''You will see how I'll thrash you,'' Golfak said with a vicious grin. Eleonora didn't even waste her breath on the clown as she moved to the center of the training ground, positioning herself at a reasonable distance.

Meanwhile, seeing how heated up Golfak seemed to be, Conrad sighed and advised.

''I'll say this first, in the end, this is a mock battle. The aim is to examine each other in the open and know their abilities, the real rank up test is the clearing of Dulia's village occupied by monsters. So, don't get too heated about it.''

Alex, Gracier, and everyone else who was there nodded at Conrad's words.

''Are there any questions?" Conrad asked after noticing his message was understood.

Nobody said anything which means there was no question.

''Begin then''

Conrad gave the signal to start the match.

Golfak a scornful humph to Eleonora before unsheathed his Magic sword, on the other side Eleonora had a blank look as she also took out a dagger.

Even though Golfak was dissatisfied with Eleonora and kept taunting her, it does mean he thought little of her, it was just a way to fool her, to destabilize her.

''Hah!"

Golfak gave a loud cry before kicking the ground and launched an attack toward Eleonora, the latter nimbly dodged. Scoffing Golfak slashed at her from another angle, Eleonora once again dodged with a minimal effort.

Seeing this, brought some bad memories, Eleonora was dodging his attacks as if they were nothing.

''Hahh!"

Giving another cry, Golfak started slashing at Eleonora from left to right repeatedly, yet Eleonora keeps dodging with a minimum of movement.

Alex was smiling thinking 'I knew this girl is not weak.' Gracier was also smiling because she knew Eleonora was strong, not stronger than her brother but maybe at the same level. She had spent three days with the girl after all.

Conrad and the others were looking at Eleonora with a look of appreciation.

Meanwhile, Golfak was getting pissed off as the girl keep dodging like an agile monkey.

''It seems that the only thing you know it's to keep dodging like a monkey.'' He tried to taunt Eleonora, however to his disappointment, she only smiled.

''Huh! You want to play it like this.'' Golfak said before pouring his MP into his new Magic Sword,

[Strengthening] he mumbled.

The blade glowed in purplish hue and covered Golfak's body, suddenly he began to attack with a lot of strength behind his attacks, he was like a bull, yawning Eleonora finally used her dagger and blocked Golfak superhuman attack with so much ease that it left one aghast.

''What?" Golfak shouted with wide eyes.

Alex raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile, he started to feel something, a sudden thrill to battle this girl.

〖This girl is sure interesting. Don't you think too, Master?〗Silveria said after a long yawn. Alex wondered what she has been doing for her to yawn so much. She seemed tired.

'I think too.'

Shaking his head Alex answered before continue watching the interesting match.

Golfak gritted his teeth, no matter how much he thinks about it, he did not understand why could a thief rivals him in terms of strength? Especially when he was using his Magic sword special ability [Strengthening], this ability increase his Attack power in the exchange of a lot of MP.

Shaking his head in front of the absurdness Eleonora represented, Golfak decided to quickly finish things before he runs out of MP.

Jumping back he readied his sword for his next attack, he was going to use his skill

[Cross Slash].

Pouring more MP into the sword, he was ready to attack when suddenly Eleonora who was in front of him turned blurry and disappeared.

''Shit'' Golfak cussed and hastily tried to stop his skill, he was having a bad premonition, Eleonora's move resembles Alex's move a lot, he quickly tried to turn back, however, he suddenly heard Eleonora's voice, she did not appear behind as he was expecting, but in the front of him with her dagger held against his throat.

Golfak gulped of fear, he felt a chill down his spine hearing Eleonora's next words.

''I've done playing with you. Be aware that I will not tolerate any other disrespect in my regards from now on or I won't be nice. If this wasn't a mock battle you would have become a cold corpse by now. It's good to boast, however, beware of your opponent's strength first.''

She sent him a death stare before proceeding to removes her dagger from his neck however only after leaving a small cut there.

Golfak's legs almost turned to jelly. He was trembling, he had never been so scared in his life, he had forgotten about the humiliation of him losing even after boasting so much. He couldn't be helped, the death stare Eleonora gave him scared the daylight of him. In those cold eyes, he felt like Ant, that could be squashed at any moment, he felt so insignificant that it almost makes him go crazy.

Meanwhile, while Golfak was lost in thought, Eleonora departed without waiting for Conrad to announce her victory, on her way back she winked at Alex as if to say did you like what you see?

Grinning Alex nodded not hiding his battle lust, his blood was seething, telling him to go immediately battle Eleonora. Truth be told he was astonished by her early move. Her movement skill must be like his.

Finally, the crowd started reacting.

''Holy shit. She wins so easily, I haven't seen it coming, not all.''

''Indeed, I would have never thought this plain-looking girl would be that strong. I wonder what was that movement skill she used earlier?"

''I wonder too. It looks like the one The Rookie used. Either way, I want this girl in my party.''

''Me too.''

The noises after Eleonora's overwhelming victory wasn't less than the one Lucien received after finishing his self-introduction.

Adventurers were like this, they would show interest in every promising rookie they'll see, because a promising in one's party equal an increase of survival chance when taking a dangerous mission, and the most important reason was with someone like Alex, Lucien, or Eleonora in your party, you were bound to be on the spotlight, to become famous.

Who wouldn't want this? Everybody wants to be famous, every Adventurers dream of this, it could be said it one of the primary goal of being Adventurer, you want money, and fame, you want your name, the name of your party to spread far and wide, you want to leave your legacies, your story behind for the future generations, that's what it means be Adventurer.

Back to the Training ground.

Eleonora was unfazed by all the look of adulation she was receiving as she went back to sit, waiting for her battle with Alex. She also couldn't wait to test Alex's skills. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but grin.

Finally sighing while thinking that Eleonora had hidden pretty well, Conrad smiled nonetheless. This batch of rookies taking part in the rank-up test was promising with a lot of monsters in it. He was looking forward to the day they would all become higher ranked Adventurers, and who knows maybe they would remember that he, Conrad had one supervised, supervised their first rank up test.

Shaking his head, Conrad smiled bitterly thinking 'Probably not.'

''Okay, the first match ends with Eleonora's victory. Let move to the second match, in this match Gracier, will be opposing Sebastian.'' Conrad announced with his eyes locked on the two.

The two stood up and went positioning themselves ready for the battle.
