While Luis and Alicia were having their chat. At the stadium. The audience was looking at Luis and Alicia's interaction with dumbfounded expressions.
"Wasn't he scolding that couple for flirting before?
"They couldn't become a couple, brother. He interrupted the confession and shot them."
"Oh right, my bad. That poor guy, I hope they can get together."
"Yeah, he also said, 'Couples are so annoying! Flirting around during the test! How can they be so shameless?!'."
When someone in the audience repeated the exact sentence. The other people couldn't help but twitch their lips.
The singles who cheered for Luis before, when he shot that couple. Had expressions as if they had eaten a fly.
While some people couldn't help but gossip.
"They seem quite close."
"Yeah, see her. She looks so cute when she is embarrassed. It's in complete contrast to her cold expression before."
"Hey, do you think she is the fiancee that he was talking about before?"
"The one who is madly in love with him and he reluctantly accepted!? No way!?"
As soon as that question came out, the expressions of everyone around changed once again. The singles were looking at Luis with envy and hatred.
"Why don't I have someone who is in love with me so madly?!"
"The world is unfair, brother!"
"This guy is the sinner of all men."
"God, punish this sinner!"
***
Oblivious to everything that was happening at the stadium and the curses he was receiving.
Luis looked around with his perception and said. "Around here, there are no monsters. So we don't have to worry about being disturbed."
While calming herself down, Alicia said. "I've already checked around the area. There are no monsters nearby, so I decided on this place."
"As expected of my Alicia-"
"Can we start already?" Alicia interrupted before Luis could continue. She knew that after praising her, he was going to tease her again. That's why she stopped him early.
Luis could see that Alicia was getting impatient. So he stopped teasing her anymore.
His face changed and with a sharp expression on his face, he looked at her seriously and said, "Then let's start, but let me remind you, Alicia."
"Even if I may end up hurting you, I'm not going to take it easy. So, I'll apologize to you beforehand!"
When Alicia heard this, the cold expression on her face melted as she showed a soft smile. Then, with a firm expression on her face, she said while shaking her head. "This fight is what I asked for. You don't have to apologize."
Luis nodded and said, "I know, but let me tell you one more thing, Alicia!"
"What is it?" Alicia asked, wondering what else he wanted to say.
Showing a wide grin, Luis said, "You are not the only one who is excited about this battle!"
Alicia could feel the excitement in Luis' voice as he continued.
"I, too, have been looking forward to fighting with you."
When Luis said this, the smile blossomed on Alicia's beautiful face even more obviously. But she still said with a soft snort. "As it should be."
Then, unsheathing her sword, she waved her hand and used her magic.
"Ice Shards!"
The shards of ice were shot at a fast speed, aiming for Luis' vitals.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
Luis shot them all down with his precise gunmanship.
By this time, Alicia had already closed in the distance between them.
Then, with a graceful movement, she showed her beautiful swordsmanship by directly slashing at him.
Luis had already put away his magic gun and used his spell.
"Lighting Spear!"
*Clang!*
An elemental spear and a sword coated with mana collided with each other heavily, sending small shockwaves into the air.
As four eyes faced each other. Luis exclaimed, feeling the power behind that sword slash.
"You have become stronger, Alicia."
"Are you surprised?" Alicia asked with a mischievous smile.
'This girl,' Luis sighed, looking at her reaction, but he was very happy in his heart. From the strength that Alicia showed just now, he could feel that she was already at four stars of Novice rank.
"I told you before that I won't lose to you!" Alicia shouted while increasing the speed of her sword slashes.
"It's too early to say that!" Luis said while observing all her movements with his perception skill and blocking her attacks.
The sparks floated around everywhere as their weapons collided. The two of them were moving so fast that only their afterimages were visible.
After hundreds of clashes, suddenly a loud explosion sounded as both Alicia and Luis moved back simultaneously.
"Although you have become strong, Alicia, this sword cannot hold up," Luis said, while looking at the sword she was holding. There were already many cracks in it.
Even if the sword was coated with mana. It was normal that it could not hold against an elemental weapon. After all, it was just a normal sword. If it wasn't for mana coating, forget even a few clashes, the sword would have been sliced like butter from a single move by the Lightning Spear.
As expected, when Alicia removed the mana coating, the sword crumbled into pieces.
"Ice Sword!"
Throwing away the handle, Alicia instantly used her magic and the next moment a beautiful crystal-like sword appeared in her right hand.
"This one should make it, right?" Alicia said with a charming smile, which stunned Luis for a moment.
'Now!' Seeing him stunned, Alicia immediately dashed and attacked him.
'Ops, not good!' Luis shook his head, coming back to his senses in time, and managed to block her attacks.
"Damn, that was dangerous!"
Luis said with relief, then looked at Alicia warily.
"I didn't expect you to play dirty by using Charm attack on me!" Luis showed an 'I've seen through you!' expression.
'I didn't do anything!' Alicia was aggrieved, but she didn't lose her focus from the fight.
As she displayed her beautiful and precise swordsmanship, the fight between them started becoming more intense.
