Luke usually fought with a real sword, but since Luna was using a wooden one, he decided to even the odds.

“G-Go easy on me…”

“Sorry, no can do.”

‘That little…’

Luke was dominating the match from the start.

Luna might have been putting up a good defense, but she was clearly outmatched.

If they had used real swords, Luke would have ended the fight in an instant.

But since it was just a spar, and they were only allowed to use wooden swords, Luna’s defense made her seem more skilled than she actually was.

Still, there was no denying that she had improved.

Even Samuel had to admit it.

[She’s gotten better. Spending time with you must have paid off.]

“It seems so.”

I finally allowed myself to relax a little.

At least Luna wouldn’t die a horrible, painful death today.

But even with her newfound skills, it was clear that she was no match for Luke.

*Clang*

Luke effortlessly disarmed Luna, and Idea declared him the winner.

“The victor is Luke! Good effort, Luna!”

“Thank you…!”

Although Luna had lost, it was clear that Idea was impressed by her performance.

As Luna made her way back towards us, I could tell that she was disappointed.

“Sorry, I lost…”

“It’s okay, Luna. You did great.”

[You’ve improved a lot. Just keep practicing and you’ll be unstoppable.]

We showered her with praise, hoping to lift her spirits.

Unlike the midterm exams, the final exams were being held within Sytan’s grounds, which meant that we could relax a little and enjoy each other’s company.

However, I knew that this wasn’t the time to let our guard down.

“You did a good job focusing on defense when you realized you were outmatched,”

“But your vision was too narrow. In situations like that, you need to remember what Instructor Ares taught us about sacrificing a pawn to gain an advantage.”

“I-I don’t really understand…”

Luna looked even more confused than before.

I was about to explain further, but then…

“Adel, you’re up!”

Idea called my name.

I stood up, excusing myself from the conversation.

“Good luck, Adel!”

Luna called after me.

“Haha, don’t worry about me. I’ve got this.”

[You…!]

“…Adel, be nice,”

Luna and Samuel said in unison.

I just chuckled and made my way towards the arena, my every step radiating villainous intent.

Eris was already waiting for me, her expression a mixture of determination and apprehension.

“I know you’re strong, Class President.”

“But don’t underestimate me. I’m not that weak.”

I later found out that Eris was ranked in the mid-20s, which meant that she was actually stronger than Luna.

Of course, it wasn’t fair to compare a support class student to a combat class student, but still, Eris was nothing to scoff at.

However…

She was no match for me.

I stretched my arms theatrically, adopting a fighting stance.

“Let the games begin.”

[…]

I could practically feel Samuel’s anxiety radiating from the thorn.

He was worried about what I was about to do to Eris.

‘Don’t worry, Samuel. I’m not going to kill her.’

This was just a spar, after all.

And besides, I had no reason to be cruel to Eris.

She was simply a means to an end.

A way for me to test out my newfound abilities.

*Shhh*

I pressed a finger to my lips.

And then, I cast two spells simultaneously.

Invisibility and Silence.

The moment the spells took effect…

“What the…?!”

Eris’s eyes widened in surprise as my figure blurred, vanishing from sight.

She quickly recovered, however, and began swinging her wooden sword wildly, hoping to catch me off guard.

I easily evaded her attacks, my movements silent and swift thanks to the spells I had cast.

Then, with a thought, I activated Position Exchange.

Instantly, dozens of glowing arrows materialized around me, each one pointing towards a different location within the arena.

This was one of the benefits of my improved Position Exchange.

I no longer needed to rely on Adel’s power to activate it, nor did I have to specify the destination.

The spell automatically calculated the optimal locations based on my surroundings and my intentions.

“Move”

I muttered under my breath, selecting the arrow that pointed directly behind Eris.

In the blink of an eye, I was standing behind her, the distance between us nonexistent.

Our positions had been reversed – she was now the one standing vulnerably, while I held the wooden sword in my hand.

“You’re…too fast…!”

Eris exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Before she could react, I swiftly brought the wooden sword down on the back of her neck.

*Thwack*

Eris crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

I caught her before she could hit the ground, a triumphant smirk spreading across my face.

“Now, was that so ungentlemanly?”

I asked Samuel, my voice laced with amusement.

[…]

Samuel didn’t reply, but I could sense his frustration.

He wanted to scold me for knocking out Eris, but he couldn’t deny that I had been holding back.

And so, the victor of the match was…

“The winner is Class President Adel!”

…Me, of course.
