The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 265 - - Alex VS Vecturn

"YESSS!"

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Falbic smiled, "Now let's bring in our next fighters!"

"He's a student with a great fighting sense and is known for using his quick instincts."

"A man of skill, From Class F Rank 3, it's Alex Atreides!"

Alex walked out of the small door and showed himself. He's outfit was different; he wasn't wearing his academy uniform anymore.

Instead he wore a metal chest guard with no sleeves and leather pants with iron knee pads. On his arms were a gladius sword and small shield.

All in all, he looked like a warrior, ready to fight on the arena like a gladiator.

"And the one to face him… A boy also known for bright knowledge, royal visage and skills told to be as swift as its sharp."

"From Class C, it's Vecturn Rosalige!"

The noble boy from the auditorium that challenged the teacher's words came. Just like Alex, he too was wearing a warrior's outfit.

But where Alex's came ready for war, he's seemed ready for a noble fight.

Vecturn wore a light armor that covered all his body up to his neck. There were beautiful white scales embedded on his dress that shone brightly against the sun's ray, causing a reflective gesture.

In his hand was a falchion sword that had the same white scaled handle like his armor. His falchion's edge had sharp edge to it as it not only matched what Alex had but went beyond it.

"Hmm… that armor." Alex muttered.

"Yes, it's my family's armor." Vecturn replied. "It's the Rosalige family styled armor that my family wears whenever they are about to have a dangerous fight."

"Normally I wouldn't have worn this armor, but I have heard good things about you. So I couldn't help but seek refuge in it. I hope that doesn't discourage you."

Alex shook his head, "Nah… it's better this way. Defeating you when you're at your strongest would feel the best."

Vecturn smiled hearing that, "Good! That's the kind of spirit I want. From my view, that armor doesn't seem like it's of good quality."

"This one?" Alex looked down at his own armor, "I just put on the thing that I felt was the sturdiest and would give me space to move around.

"…So it's not even your family armor." Vecturn looked confused at that, "You're almost making me regret going so hard on you."

"Doesn't matter, I'll win anyway." Alex readied himself.

"Seems like both of you are ready." Falbic said backing away, "Like before, fight starts at 3."

"1… 2… 3… GO!"

Unlike before, none of the fighters moved. They both stood in their spots and looked at their opponents. They both knew they are closed ranged fighters and both of them searched for the other's weaknesses.

Alex searched for a spot that would let him hurt his opponent, but had trouble because of the scales covering his every spot.

'Those scales may seem like shiny design but I can tell they're really hard. I won't be able to penetrate them without excessive strength. The only opening I see is his neck, which he knows as his only weak spot.'

Just like Alex, Vecturn had his thoughts too.

'Look at him, searching every corner of my body for a weak spot. The rumors about him being so attentive weren't wrong. He'd probably won't go for my neck as its too obvious… or he might as I could disregard it as simple. Regardless, he's going to make the move soon.'

While both of them were having internal suggestions, Falbic sat on a corner of the wall with a bored expression, "Are they going to fight or just stare each other in defeat?"

As Vecturn predicted, Alex took two light steps before bursting towards him. His gladius sword swinging for his neck.

'Is he trying to bait me?' Vecturn thought and ducked at the attack. Quickly he's eyes spotted Alex going for a sweep at his leg and he blocked it with his right and then used his left to stop Alex's sword from piercing his stomach.

Getting into this lock, both found no way to attack or restrain each other so they resorted to their rings.

Vecturn's ring glowed blue while Alex's blue one did the same.

Fire blazed on Alex's sword and as he was about to attack, he backed away. In front of him, a wall of water burst out of the ground and then curved for him.

Alex blocked the water with his shield and then hit it with his burning sword, wiping out both the water and the fire that was on his sword.

Vecturn smiled seeing the smoke on Alex's sword, "Fire huh?"

"Water… seems like we were supposed to fight." Alex said.

"Finally some ACTION! And what a turn, both users use the opposite elements of another. This fight is bound to generate some fiery!"

Vecturn raised his hand as water spins around in a small ball, "Why don't we give the crowd, the fun it needs."

"Couldn't say it any better." Alex swapped his hands above his Gladius Sword as the steel went up in flames again.

"Bom!" Vecturn shot that ball and Alex immediately swapped it away with his shield. Vecturn didn't stop and started shooting more balls at him as Alex cut them down and ran at him again.

Seeing that, Vecturn backed away while shooting the balls. Above him a few halberds made of water were born and shot towards Alex.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Alex dodged and blocked a few while deflecting two as he slid towards Vecturn and slashed at his left side.

"Clang!"

"Shing!"

The sword hit the scales as it rang and slid passes it, doing no damage on it.

'Damn, his armor's very thick.'

Alex jumped back as two water halberds landed where he stood.

"I told you that this is my family armor, right!" Vecturn said, "It's not going to break or get scratched because of some swords that's been in the shed for decades, Alex. You should have chosen wisely."

Even though it didn't feel good to hear that, Alex knew it was correct.

'Should have gotten something better from that shed.'

Alex said as he parried another halberd at his chest.

Vecturn smiled seeing this. It was clear who had the advantage in this fight. Even though he felt a bit bad using his family armor, he wanted to win.

!!

Suddenly, Vecturn's eyes widened as he dodged a flaming arrow to his head and then back away as a few more came to hit him.

He looked shocked before laughing, "So you can create with fire."

In front of him was Alex, who stood with a flaming sword and cracked shield. Behind him were multiple crossbows in the air that were made out of fire. All of them ready to shoot Vecturn to ashes.
