Fighting George

"I swear on my name, George Magenta, that I will beat you!" George shouted.

"What." Ell was shocked, how someone could draw up so many conclusions in the space of an instant astounded him.

George shouted as he charged Ell, "Take this!"

'How did this escalate so quickly?' Ell asked himself.

George used the skill Ell had seen him use previously to defeat the blond haired kid.

"Quick Draw!"

Ell blocked the attack with his Greatsword.

Ell didn't even flinch after receiving the George's attack.

George was stunned, "What, you didn't even move?"

Ell still wore his neutral face, when facing George. "This is what I mean. You have no hope of defeating me."

Ell thought inside, 'Especially if you only have Intermediate level skills.'

George shouted in anger, "Stop looking down on me!"

"You're from the Magenta family right? Why are you using a katana? Why don't you use a sword?"

"Don't antagonise me!"

"DARK SLASH!" He yelled while slashing his blade. His blade turned black and after he swung it a massive ark of black flew towards Ell.

The small crowd of people left were murmuring to each other, "I think the black haired boy is done for now. That looks like an advanced tier skill."

"He was so confident but now, I'm afraid he'll be taken down, just like all of us."

Ell formed a shield of ki in front of him, the dark slash hit the shield and was absorbed by it. "Whew. Close one, he actually had an advanced (low) skill? I would've been done for if George used ki. That should've taken all of his energy to cast though."

And sure enough, George was lying on the ground unconscious.

"What? He blocked that?"

"What was that blue technique?"

"I think it was ki? He didn't need to say anything to use it."

"Doesn't that mean he's at least advanced (low)?"

Ignoring the many voices whispering among the group of people, Ell just asked, "So, anyone gonna help this man?" While pointing at George.

Quintus walked up, "I'll bring him to the infirmary. Hey Sophie! Continue the test!"

"O – Ok sir!" The examiner spluttered out.

Wain walked up to Ell, "You were advanced tier? The whole time? It would explain a lot."

"Yup." Ell told him.

"Where did you go though. You missed the whole start of the test."

"I went to the senior test."

"You went to the senior test!?"

"It was pretty easy."

"YOU THINK IT WAS EASY!?"

"Yup."

"Goddamn it."

"Actually, most of the people were weaker than that George guy."

"Really?"

"Of course there were still some 'strong' people though."

"They can't be that strong if the test was easy." Wain murmured to himself.

Ell heard him and replied, "I don't actually know how strong they were, I didn't get to fight them, but most of their power levels were around advanced (low)."

"Then what power level are you at?" Wain asked, curious.

"I'd say around advanced (high)."

"Really? I'm only Intermediate (middle)."

"Don't be too worried most of the people in the Senior test were around your power level."

As the two of them talked the other students fought each other to try to win and enter the second stage of the test.
