My Angelic System

(AN: Hi~, I know it's been quite long since I last updated MAS, but I will continue starting today. If everything goes well, I will release a chapter per day. Hope you look forward to it.)

"Young miss and to all the people who agreed with her," Madison said with a gentle voice. "If you want to learn more about your abilities, then go to the appropriate class. I don't have time to waste with kids like you." Madison didn't wait for them to rebuke her or anything. She just glanced coldly toward them to shut their mouths. No one dared to say something else after that.

She then continued. "As I said earlier, times will come when you won't be able to fight a one versus one battle. The world isn't noble enough to allow such a thing. Take the monsters for example. If they didn't know how to fight without their abilities, they would have lost the war because humanity's greatest asset is its number. So don't think that you will die once your energy would hit rock bottom. On the contrary, it would be the moment where your opponent will let its guard down. And when it happens, you just have to slice their necks.

"Now I want you to form groups of three. One of you will have to fight two opponents at once until it will be time to rotate. Any big injury will be punished greatly if it's done on purpose. So don't try anything fancy."

Everyone got into groups, even those who were low leveled. Of course, the strong stayed with the high-level group up with their peers, while the low levels did the same with their peers.

Kye, Ven, and Lidi decided to stay together. Fighting together was the best way to strengthen a new friendship, so it was the perfect opportunity.

"Who's going to be alone first?" Lidi asked. "I don't mind going first if you guys want."

"Well, I guess you can. I'm next then," Ven answered.

"I'm last then," Kye said as he went into stance.

Around ten meters were separating them, and since Lidi was alone, she decided to defend first. It would be hard to fight two opponents at once like this, so it was better to try and seize the openings they will leave when fighting.

Ven was the first to move. He ran straight toward her. Kye immediately followed behind him to give him support, but he didn't expect to see Lidi aim for him instead of Ven.

Lidi, when she saw Ven rushing toward her knew that she will lose in a battle of strength. And since Ven was the overprotective type, he will surely protect Kye if she were to target him.

And she was right.

Ven turned back and counter the scythe's blade since Kye couldn't stop it himself. He had built up too much momentum, and he wasn't experienced enough to stop it like this.

Ven didn't say anything after blocking the blade and continued his advance. He swung his blade downward, and Lidi blocked him with her scythe's handle. Since Ven was too distracted, Lidi take this to her advantage and kicked Ven in the ribs.

The latter stepped back while Lidi switched target. She went to Kye, swinging her weapon in a grand motion. However, Kye was ready. He didn't just look from afar, he had tried to assimilate her movements.

So when she saw her shoulder tensing up, Kye knew she was going for a great swing.

He rushed as fast as he could into her inner range so that the blade couldn't touch him, thus leaving a giant opening for him to exploit. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Lidi didn't expect that, but she kept her head cool. So she tried to dodge, but Ven was behind him and in full motion to do a shoulder bump.

"I give up," She said while Kye was swinging his sword. He managed to stop right in time though.

They all calm down and retracted their weapons.

"It's a good thing that you exploited Ven's overprotectiveness over me to your advantage at the beginning. You killed his momentum, saving you from fighting him in a battle of strength where you would have been at a disadvantage," Kye commented on the fight after processing everything with a clear head. It was a good exercise to see where they could improve and where they were good.

"It wasn't good. Imagine that I wouldn't have protected you," Ven got angry.

"It was because I knew you were going to do this that I god the opportunity to exploit it. Even though you are a great fighter Ven, you let your emotion cloud your judgment."

"Then what should have I done? Just continue rushing without thinking about his well-being?"

"No. If you assessed the situation well earlier, You would have seen that the power I put on my scythe was minimal. Plus the fact that it was only the tip wouldn't have put him in great danger. At worst he would have healer after resting a little at the infirmary."

"She's right regarding that," Kye said. "And I won't be injured that easily, Ven."

"Sorry Kye, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay, I know you don't."

"Well anyway, in the end, I lost the fight," Lidi continued. "Kye forced me to focus only on him, so I didn't see Ven coming from behind. And the shoulder bump was a perfect move since there was still a possibility of me dodging a swing."

"I guess Kye isn't to be underestimated."

"Yeah, he doesn't have a lot of experience, but his battle awareness is high. So he can easily see what's the best course of action. Truly interesting," Lidi added.

"I guess I will take that as a compliment," Kye smiled shyly.

"It is a compliment, sorry if it sounded weird,"

"You are weird, Lidi," Ven added with a smug smile.

"You'll gonna pay during your fight," Lidi answered with her fist in front of her, ready to punch him.

They soon heard Madison shouting, telling them to rotate the roles.

The group didn't wait long and immediately did so. Like earlier, ten meters were separating both sides. However, this time, it was the one who was alone, that is to say, Ven, who decided to attack instead of defending himself.

He rushed at his fastest speed toward them, ready to slash whatever will enter inside his swinging range.

Since Lidi had a mid-ranged weapon, Kye decided to confront Ven. The former was ready to counterattack the moment the katana would have come into range, but it never came. Instead, Ven had disappeared from Kye's vision.

*Clang*

It was only when he heard blades going against each other that Kye understood that Ven passed through him.

How?

Well, he didn't know.

Ven just seemed to teleport behind him.

Lidi had a hard time defending since she didn't expect that either. But as someone who had a decent experience wielding a scythe, she still managed to stop Ven's onslaught before regrouping with Kye.

'His sword mastery is far above than I thought,' Lidi thought, catching her breath. 'His title is indeed perfect for him.'

Even though the military did a pretty good job putting students that didn't have any relationship whatsoever together, big families were still worldwide known. And Ven was one of them.

As for the title she thought about, it was a title that suited him greatly.

'The sword prodigy'

Even though he was still a beginner, Ven had a bright future with a sword. And katanas, being his favorite weapon only added more talent to what he already had.

However, she couldn't think about that for long since Ven was moving once again, though, he had a hard time breathing.

'Is it because of the technique he used earlier? Did it take a toll on his body?' Kye thought, ready to end this fight as quickly as possible. He couldn't drag it when Ven looked exhausted.

So he gripped his sword strongly, ready to defend the moment he will swing.

And while Ven was side-swinging, Lidi swung her scythe too, protecting Kye from Ven's swing, thus, letting him punch Ven in the stomach followed by a swing of his own, stopping just in front of his neck..

"I guess this is my loss," Ven said, sitting and looking to the ground.
