Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 32: First Strike

On the other hand, Kyle also noticed how he was improving at a very fast pace because now he was executing all the basic sword moves perfectly.

What made him astonished was that he only practiced them a few times before with his elder brother. At that time he wasn\'t even able to complete the basic training due to lack of interest.

Kyle glanced at Alec who was blocking the attack directly, only to find him gazing back with a surprised expression.

Seeing the sweat dripping from his forehead Kyle was sure right now Alec was feeling pressure. For Alec, the pressure wasn\'t much because he was still able to block Kyle\'s every attack with ease.

But for Kyle, it was a big achievement because he just started learning.

Kyle attacked again but now more seriously, while observing every small movement.

Their swords clashed again, making a loud sound.

-CLANK!

Alec blocked the attack easily, only to see Kyle attacking once again.

Just like before Alec was going to block the attack but found that Kyle\'s sword blurred and became too fast.

Alec\'s eyes widened after seeing the sword changing trajectory midway.

It was the same move that made everyone laugh!

And for the first time, he felt an overwhelming threat coming from Kyle\'s sword.

Alec hurriedly moved back to block the sword aiming at his neck.

-CLANK!

This time the sound was too loud and Alec was pushed back a few steps.

He looked at Kyle with shock, not just him even Professor Liam had shock hidden behind his serious face.

They both knew if Alec had not seen the move before there was no way he would be able to block it.

The students laughing before would have never believed that the strength behind that small \'tap\' was so immense if they hadn\'t seen it with their own eyes.

Panting heavily, Kyle looked at Alec with a smirk. He used all his stamina and was exhausted.

"ha ha.. let\'s stop. I admit defeat you can laugh at me."

Kyle put the sword inside the storage ring with a satisfied expression before lying on the ground while thinking inwardly,

\'First strike: Eliminate\'

Professor Liam smiled upon hearing Kyle\'s words. He looked at all the other students watching Kyle and Alec fight.

"What are you all doing? If you don\'t want to train then leave the training grounds now."

The professor\'s angry shout made everyone snap out of their thoughts and focus on their training.

Alec shook his head and took out a bottle of water before throwing it toward Kyle.

"You did great. Let\'s fight again next time."

An invitation to fight the number 1 first-year student why won\'t Kyle agree?

"Sure."

Kyle agreed with a small smile.

...

Meanwhile, Professor Aliza after leaving the classroom went toward Vice Principal George\'s office to report on the Ranking Assessment.

She knocked on the door slightly before hearing a calm and serine voice from the office.

"Come in."

Aliza opened the door and walked inside. There was nothing fancy inside the office. A few paintings hung on the walls and a small desk filled with papers. Vice Principal George was sitting on a chair behind the desk wearing glasses.

"I am here to report about the new student\'s performance."

Vice Principal George looked at Aliza before removing the glasses he was wearing.

"How did they perform? Any students exceeding expectations."

Aliza placed some documents in front of the vice principal before speaking.

"As expected Alec took the first place, Carcel second, and so on. Only the student named \'Kyle Ohan\' performed exceptionally exceeding the criteria you set. He also reached (+F)-Rank suddenly."

Vice Principal George was nodding at everything Aliza said.

"Oh as expected of that student Kyl-

He stopped midway and looked at Aliza with wide eyes before asking with a hint of doubt.

"Who did you say reached (+F)-Rank."

Aliza smiled, she knew it was hard to believe considering how the Vice principal described Kyle as a lazy and untalented kid who only had luck. Nevertheless, she repeated her words.

Vice Principal George frowned and thought deeply,

\'How?\'

It was fine for Kyle to reach (+F)-Rank. But reaching it only in a week was not right at all!

After telling about a few more students Aliza left the office as she had to deal with some other matters.

Vice Principal George also hurriedly sorted out some papers before leaving the office with a serious expression.

Soon he reached the training grounds designed for the first year students.

Standing at the upper part of the training ground he glanced at the students.

Everyone was practicing diligently.

Scanning through the crowd of students his eyes spotted Carcel and Lara before stopping at Alec who was sweating heavily but still swinging the sword at the dummy non-stop.

Alec made the principal serious face soften a little, but soon that softness was nowhere to be found.

A student lying luxury on the floor while playfully swirling a water bottle with his hands.

That student wasn\'t sweating nor was holding any weapon.

The Vice principal bearly stopped himself to go and kick Kyle.

He took a deep breath to calm down as he wouldn\'t look good beating up a student.

After calming down, the Vice Principal left with a disappointed expression.

\'What was I excepting.\'

On the other hand, Kyle who was lying on the floor while thinking about how his mind became more clear recently, felt like someone was badmouthing him behind his back.

He stood up and looked around to see who dared, but found no one. Everyone was busy training.

"Maybe I am thinking too much."

After stretching his body a little Kyle take out the sword from the storage ring.

Standing properly in front of the dummy he swung his sword horizontally. Just like before the sword changed trajectory mid-way before hitting the neck of the dummy.

Following the sound of the hit the dummy trembled from its place a little, showing the incredible force behind the attack.
