The dagger Trudy threw continued to change direction with Mike’s flash.

The high-pressure water column also changed direction with the dagger.

Mike was not surprised at seeing how strange the dagger was.

This was because these tricks were merely like an appetizer before dinner for him.

Mike noticed that the power of this high-pressure water pillar also did not seem to be very high.

He thought to himself.

‘Why don’t I try the power of this high-pressure water pillar? I’ll also try the power of the tyrant body!’

Then, just like that, Mike suddenly stopped moving.

The water pillar hit Mike’s body lightly like raindrops and the dagger fell off when it lightly touched Mike’s throat.

‘My guess was right. This skill might be new to other students, but to me, it’s extremely childish.’

Seeing that his skill had not caused any damage to Mike, Trudy felt a little strange.

But he stubbornly continued to taunt Mike.

“Kid, do you only know how to dodge? I didn’t think that my skill would not be able to hurt you. But this time, you won’t be so lucky!”

Trudy stretched out his right hand, and the dagger returned to his hand as if it had magic power.

This time, Trudy briefly started to accumulate power, and the dagger miraculously turned into a two-meter-long machete.

System notification: Deep Sea Demon Blade, platinum grade. Under normal conditions, it is only an aquamarine dagger. Each attack will automatically follow the default enemy of the wielder. However, once the wielder activates the Demon Blade’s ultimate mode, it will turn into a two-meter-long machete, and the attack will have a water attribute effect.

After seeing the system notification, Mike gave a light smile.

He said, “So, that’s how it is. I understand now.”

Trudy had already raised the machete and had started charging towards Mike.

“If this attack were to land on my body, I’m afraid that I would lose a little blood. Although it won’t be very painful, it would still leave a small cut.

“It’s your turn to make an appearance now!”

Mike smiled confidently, as he felt something in his backpack calling to him.

Suddenly, a distorted circular space appeared on the battlefield.

Mike reached into the distorted circular space and pulled out a completely black but slightly dark red longsword.

“Hermes Curse! Is this your name?”

When the sword left the sheath, the demon’s eye stared at Trudy.

Mike raised his hand, and the Hermes Curse collided with the Deep Sea Demon Blade.

The demon’s eye suddenly blinked, and a dark red evil light shone from it.

Just as the two blades collided, the two-meter-long machete in Trudy’s hand instantly changed back to its original shape and fell to the ground.

Trudy still did not understand what was going on. His right hand was still stretched out like before.

This time, however, the Deep Sea Demon Blade did not return to his palm like before.

Trudy’s expression quickly changed.

“This… What’s going on? Why is my Deep Sea Demon Blade not following orders?”

At the moment, Trudy did not dare to rashly pick up his dagger.

That was because Mike was standing less than five centimeters away from the dagger.

“As a close combat mage, you even dropped your weapon. Do you still want to continue fighting with me?”

Mike said.

However, Trudy spoke up again.

“Don’t be happy too early. Be careful of making a mistake.”

Trudy pulled out a short blade with a red pattern from the back of his waist.

Flaming Rose: Platinum Grade. Every attack from this weapon will produce a rose-like flame. It can grow indefinitely. Once you are entangled by the Flaming Rose, you will not be able to break free.

After seeing the system notification, Mike said to Trudy.

“I didn’t expect you to have a second weapon.”

Trudy arrogantly replied, “What you didn’t expect is still to come!”

Trudy flashed to get close to Mike.

All traces of Trudy were exposed to Mike.

According to Trudy’s movement pattern, Mike could easily catch Trudy’s every attack.

“Why isn’t Mike attack, but he’s dodging the whole time?”

“Yeah, yeah, and I remember he’s a long-range spell master. Why is he playing with swords now?”

“By the looks of it, Trudy is about to get serious. I feel that Mike won’t be so lucky this time.”

The audience below the stage discussed the fight animatedly.

The topic that was discussed the most was why Mike still had not cast any spells.

At the moment, the Flaming Rose in Trudy’s hand was charging straight at Mike.

Trudy yelled out, “Mike, this time I want to see how you run.”

The flame rose from the Flaming Rose formed a vine-like shape and climbed onto Mike’s left hand.

Mike still had not used his magic sword to block yet.

The flame rose wrapped around Mike’s left hand.

It went from Mike’s wrist to his arm.

“Let it bloom!” Trudy shouted.

The bud of the flame rose was slowly blooming into a beautiful rose.

Once the rose was in full bloom…

An unknown flame exploded in Mike’s left hand and a cloud of thick smoke spread across the entire arena.

“I’ll see how you dodge this time!”

Trudy shouted arrogantly.

A loud explosion could be heard.

Mike’s figure disappeared into the cloud of smoke.

He was then nowhere to be seen.

Trudy silently believed that Mike had lost because of his strong offense.

“Referee, you can announce the result of the match now!”

Trudy said.

The audience below the stage could not feel Mike’s aura at all.

They all discussed among themselves.

“It can’t be? Did Mike really lose?”

“He was the man who defeated Blue the moment he entered the academy. How could it be possible that he lost to this fledgling, Trudy?”

“I don’t think so. It must have been a fluke that Mike won against Blue previously!”

Meanwhile, on the viewing platform of the close combat academy, a familiar figure was silently watching everything that was happening on the side of the arena of the Law Faculty.

“Mike has yet to use his spells and skills until now. I’m afraid that Trudy has gotten complacent a little too early.

“With Mike’s strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to trample Trudy to death.”

The person who had spoken was Blue. Having already acquired quite a bit of battle experience, he already had his own plans for this battle where there was a huge disparity in strength.

A few students from the Close Combat Faculty beside Blue also questioned him.

“Hey Blue, who do you think will win between Mike and Trudy? In my opinion, Mike looks like he is about to lose.”

Since the guy had not fought with Mike before, Blue naturally did not take the arrogant words of others to heart.

Blue told them, “You just wait and see the show. Mike isn’t even treating Trudy as a serious opponent at this moment!”

His eyes turned back to the arena.

The referee announced, “Mike is not down yet. The game continues!”
