Boring Life In A Magic Highschool

Glistening Water (4)

With glowing eyes, he looked around him. He could sense the magical energy of each of the students. 

He raised both of his blades, as they both gathered energy. Then, in a swift set of successive swings, he launched water slashes all over the forest, and subsequently, many students were eliminated at the same time. 

He continued to do this. Some, like Ryo and Kyouko, managed to defend themselves, while some weren't so fortunate. 

6 Minutes left

"It's time," Ryujin mumbled to himself. 

A day before the exam.

"Why do you want to so badly participate in the exam?" Ryujinn asked Kyouko. Kyouko looks annoyed and intensely irritated by Ryujin's constant question. 

She heaves out a sigh, before looking at Ryujin with a cold and murderous gaze,

"Why are you so persistent?" She annoyingly asked.

"Just tell me, please???" Ryujin replied playfully.

"*Sigh*, It's more of a self-validation. I want to prove something to myself."

Ryujin was surprised at the unexpected answer.

...

"Prove something, right? Then, through this battle, prove them to me." Ryujin mumbled, before quickly chasing Kyouko.

...

"Oh no, he's chasing after us!" Hina exclaimed as she sped up her running.

"T-T-That guy's like the second phase of a final boss!!!" Arata yelled out in fear.

"Don't panic! Just continue running." Airi yelled out, trying to console both of them.

If we just continued running, we'd run out of energy first. Besides, we can't outrun him. Kyouko thought to herself. She quickly decided, and turned around, placing her sword upfront as she did. 

"F-Fujimoto-san?!" Haruto blurted out.

"Run, and try to cover from the shadows." She stopped and planned to face Ryujin alone.

Everyone was confused about what to do until Ryo spoke out.

"Let her be. She knows her things, " he said nonchalantly before continuing to run. Everyone behind hesitantly followed.

At one point, they stopped and looked at the tracker. Ryujin's dot was just still. They all caught their breath.

"We'll cover from the shadows. She can handle herself," Ryo said. Everyone was worried but followed. They maneuvered to go back to Kyouko and Ryujin.

...

"It's amusing to think and see that you have the confidence to face me alone, Kyouko," Ryujin said, with a straight, smiling face. "I'll bet my position for you. If you beat me, you'll be the fourth seat."

"W-What??" Kyouko blurted out, surprised and taken aback.

"Wanna bet on it?"

"You fool. Why are you bringing your council position into this?"

Ryujin lets out a laugh, before replying, "It's more fun that way. There's more at stake. It'll hype me up to be serious."

Kyouko's face turns serious as she realizes Ryujin isn't playing around.

"The fourth seat sounds like an excellent reward. I'll take it." Kyouko replied as she got into a fighting stance. Ryujin also does so, and with exploding magic, they clash against one another.
