Chapter 17 - (Chapter 17) {Precious vs Lior}

Scene:On Ground D of Doramai School, several students and teachers are gathered. Precious and Lior stand inside the battle ring.

Kail (Precious's mana skill): What are you doing here? You can't even use 0.001% of your power, he's your brother after all.Precious: You think I don't know that? But it's also true that no matter how much I suppress my power, it'll still be hard for him.Kail: Well… that's true too.

Scene:Joki, the examiner, speaks up.Joki: There'll be a small change in this fight. Since Precious's physical strength is quite high, Lior could get seriously injured. So, the fight will be with wooden swords — that'll reduce the risk a bit.

They both receive wooden swords. Precious holds his sword so loosely that it looks like it'll drop any second.

Lior: Huh? Precious, I know you've never used a sword, but do you even know how to hold one?Precious: It's not that I don't know how — it's just that this sword isn't my type.Joki: That kid… (irritated)Runjam (teacher): Hmm, Precious, huh? Quite a unique student.Lior: What do you mean?

Precious adjusts his grip normally — and the sword crushes in his hand, falling to the ground.

Joki and others: WHAT!?Precious: See? Told you so.

Another sword is handed to him.Joki: Fine, fight however you want.Shai (watching): What the—! Precious was hiding this much power all these years?!

Joki: Now… START!

Scene:The fight begins. Precious calmly walks toward Lior, makes a T-shaped slash on his uniform with his sword, and moves behind him — all in an instant. Everyone, including Lior, is frozen in place.

Lior: Huh?Everyone looks — there's a perfect "T" mark on Lior's back.

Lior: What?! When did that happen?!Precious: I told you — if I use my full power, you won't survive.Lior: Heh, I haven't used my full power yet either.Precious: Then let's see.

Their swords clash — so fast that no one can even see them. The impact is so strong that everyone is pushed backward.

Kail: Precious, you could've ended this fight in less than a second. Why are you still going?Precious: For fun. You could say… for enjoyment.Kail: Of course…

Scene:Lior's sword keeps breaking but he regenerates it using his power.The sound of their strikes is deafening — trees nearby lose their leaves, and even the school's glass windows begin to crack.

Rana (School Principal): What in the world is happening here?! (angry and tense)

In random classrooms, students cover their ears because of the noise.The clash between Precious and Lior continues violently.

Joki: Wait! Stop! Please stop!! (shouting)But no one can hear him — his voice is drowned out by the sound of the fight.

Scene:In the principal's office — Rana's secretary rushes in.Rana: Wisi! What's going on?! What's that noise?!Wisi: Sir, it's the PvP test between the two new admissions! This sound is coming from their fight!Rana: What?! If this continues, every wall and window in the school will break!Wisi: Please, stop them, sir!

Rana stands up and claps his hands.Rana: Domain + Teleport — Terama!

He vanishes instantly and appears at Ground D.

Joki: Huh?! Principal sir!

Everyone on the field is covering their ears, getting pushed back by the shockwaves of the fight.

Rana: Holo Martasa — Bikensa!

A huge, purple ghost-like entity appears and captures Lior mid-fight. But when it tries to grab Precious — its arm vanishes.

The fight stops only because Lior has been captured.

Rana (thinking): What?! That kid erased Bikensa's arm! Who is he?! (shocked)

Precious and Lior: Huh?

Bikensa releases Lior, dropping him to the ground.

Lior: Looks like we overdid it a little.Precious: Yup.Joki: A little?! You nearly destroyed the school!Shai: Look at this — even the trees lost all their leaves, and the glass is shattered!Precious: Oops…

Rana: Well… no one was defeated, so I'll count both of you as passing this test. (closes eyes, sighs)Joki: Yes sir, I'll mark both of them as passed.Rana: Good.Precious and Lior: We both passed!! YAAAY!!
