Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"I choose the first-year challenger." After hearing Cardin's answer, Teacher Belid nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay. Then please wait in front of the stage." Teacher Belid smiled and disappeared. Cardin looked around, seeming a little uneasy, but finally seemed to make up his mind and started to move.

"Professor." Cardin walked to where Professor Isaac was sitting.

"Cardan?" "Do you have time to chat?" Hearing Cardan's question, Isaac, wearing a Lipa mask, stood up from his seat and answered.

"Of course. Um, isn't it inconvenient to talk here?" Cardin nodded, and Isaac understood, and they walked out of the nearby balcony window together.

"What's wrong?" Isaac closed the balcony door and tilted his head to look at Cardin. Cardin sighed and took off the mask he was wearing.

"Professor, didn't I say I saw a demon last time?"

"Yes." Why are we suddenly talking about demons at the party? Isaac nodded and waited calmly for Cardin's next words.

"I felt the same strange feeling as when I saw the demons."

"Really?" He couldn't tell Valentina, so Cardin had to lie.

"I'm not sure. I wasn't in a good mood today. Maybe I sensed a strange aura." Cardin forced a smile and continued.

"But I'll just tell the professor, just in case. If there's a chance."

"Demons... I understand." Isaac seemed to think about it, then nodded, patted Cardin's shoulder, and continued.

"Don't worry too much. If the demons do appear, I will. There are also teachers and professors in the academy who will protect this place."

A man wearing an eagle mask walked onto the stage.

Whoosh! He drew his sword and immediately began to swing it magnificently.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Was he trying to show confidence? Wahhhhhhh! Fortunately, his actions sparked cheers from the audience.

Perhaps the audience thought this was a provocation to the opponent. Step by step. Then, a man wearing a skull mask walked onto the stage leisurely.

Unlike the man in the eagle mask, he didn't put on a show.

"Don't worry about accidents and injuries. Just show your strength." The referee of this duel is Teacher Chris, who can quickly recognize the true identity of the students in the duel.

"That kid Leiden was so arrogant, but in the end he still called Cardin here." Chris looked at the two students and then took two steps back.

"Let's start." With the signal from Teacher Chris, the duel between the two students began.

Snap! Leiden seemed not to want to give Cardan time to summon the undead, and went all out from the beginning. Woohoo! But his sword seemed to have not yet stimulated Aulë.

"Flatten your arrogant nose!" Leiden quickly closed the distance and swung his sword at an amazing speed. Of course, Cardin had anticipated Leiden's move.

He simply took a step back and dodged sideways, which was enough to avoid Leiden's sword.

Poof! At the moment of the gap, he punched Leiden directly in the abdomen.

"Tsk. They've surrounded him with magic." However, Leiden had already strengthened his body with magic. Although it was a surprise attack, he couldn't do any harm to him with bare hands.

"You underestimated me again..." Although Cardan's fist could not cause any damage, it was enough to anger Leiden. Leiden frowned, feeling ashamed of being hit in the abdomen by the necromancer's fist.

"You bastard!" Whoosh! Leiden's sword slashed quickly from left to right.

"Even though he's excited, his movements are very concise. This kid is training hard." Continuous attacks in an excited state.

However, Leiden's movements were not large and were efficient. He only made the minimum movements necessary to attack.

Clang! Clang! Although the attack was quick and simple, Cardin drew out his dagger without a care and blocked his attack.

"You damn ignorant civilian! Do you think you can ignore me forever!" The necromancer did not summon undead creatures or use magic. Instead, he fought with his bare hands and even drew his dagger.

For Leiden, this was undoubtedly a blow to his self-esteem. Leiden began to focus Aulë on his sword, as if he wanted to kill him with the sword.

Aulë gradually formed the shape of a sword more clearly, and took up a sharper stance.

"You block this too!" Whoosh! Leiden rushed over and swung his sword.

"That madman!"

"Dodge or block!" However, Cardin also prepared to block Leiden's attack with his dagger. At this time, the students watching foresaw the bloody future and issued a warning.

In order to block the sharp sword of Aulë, you must also use Aulë, or use magic to block it. You cannot block the attack with just a sword or a shield.

But. Crack! Raiden's sword was blocked by Cardin's dagger.

Instantly, the venue was completely silent. It was an incredible sight. The necromancer blocked the sword filled with Aul's power with only a short sword.

"What, what is this..." The most panicked person was the one swinging the sword, Leiden. The sharp sword of Oli was blocked by Cardan's dagger and remained motionless.

Cardin chuckled and kicked Leiden in the abdomen. Leiden was pushed back, but fortunately, he immediately stabilized his balance and did not fall down.

"Actually, there are people I want to show myself."
