"Well I got my first win," Kye said, full of joy. But he quickly came back to Earth. "It was possible only because he didn't know anything apart from his fireball. I would have surely lost if he was using his fire ability more skillfully."
As he said, he only won because his opponent was dumb. He only used fireball, even when he knew that Kye was waiting for him to use all of his energy. So if he was just a little smarter, he would have fought differently.
Nonetheless, even if he knew that he was still happy. He couldn't use his ability here, at least from what he thought, so he was very glad to win with only his weapon.

"Hmm, wait a minute," Kye stretched his hand to see if he could actually use his power. He might as well can, but just didn't know it. And it wasn't as if he was going to die by using it. Moreover, since he had a mask, no one could recognize him either.
So after thinking of his Holy ray, a golden ray came out from his hand and disappeared after 5 meters.
"I can't believe it," Kye jumped around with happiness. "I can use my angel's abilities here."
A lot of scenarios came into his head the moment the ray came out. He could use it as much as he wanted because his HP wasn't dropping, and most importantly because no one could recognize him.
The white mask covered the entirety of his face, even his hair was covered, so no one could know who he was. And since no one knew he had some abilities in the real world, the chance to be found there was even less. Of course no one except Yugo and Ven, but well, he trusted them.
Kye then immediately search for another fight, and after 15 seconds, he found an opponent.
This time it was a girl. She was 165 centimeters with platinum blond long hair and blue eyes. She had a comforting smile on her face. And to add insult to injury, she looked far smarter than his previous opponent.
And unlike earlier, there were also a lot of spectators cheering for her. Kye first got intimidated by her, but he just told to himself that they weren't in the real life, so there was nothing to be scared of. And while he was thinking that, the people who were about to spectate the fight talked among themselves.
"Have you ever seen this guy?" A girl said.
"No, he looks like a newbie," Someone else answered.
"Look, he took the mask. Does he want to hide his identity?"
"Obviously, he wouldn't have put it on otherwise."
"Well, Sylvia will win at the end of the day, so who cares about a newbie?" Everyone nodded just before the countdown hit 0.
Sylvia immediately created a water whip with her power. She could see that her opponent had a weapon with him, and even though she wasn't taking part in the weapon class, she still knew how to use a weapon or two.
And since his opponent had a bastard sword, a weapon with a long reach like a whip was perfect.
Kye slowly ran toward her while observing her movement. Sylvia could see that too. She winked at Kye before swinging her whip so skillfully toward him that it almost disarmed him.
'She looks stro-..' Kye was thinking but quickly got interrupted when he saw spears made of water coming right at him. He managed to dodge the easiest while parrying the hardest to dodge. All while parrying her whip.
And he couldn't use his Holy ray because there were still 10 meters separating them.
"The newbie is really strong. Look at how he dodged and parry everything."
"Yeah, I wonder why he's hiding when he is this strong. Sylvia is known to be ruthless when fighting, but this guy still manages to be on par with her."
"On par? Can't you see that he can't do anything?"
The spectators had mixed feelings, but even those that were still cheering at Sylvia at 100% were taken aback by how Kye could move. Sylvia, even though didn't let Kye do anything apart from dodging and parrying, didn't manage to land a hit on him either.
And while Kye was protecting himself, he entered the five meters range. He dodged a swing of Sylvia's whip before stretching his arm and firing his Holy ray.
The ray was very fast, but Sylvia still managed to dodge it. Though, not without stopping her never-ending onslaught.
Kye took advantage of that and quickly ran toward her. Seeing that, Sylvia erected a water wall to prepare for another attack, but Kye guessed that she would try to protect herself with something like that. She was strong and smart, so she wouldn't let an opponent approach her without fighting back.
Water spikes even came out from the wall, but they went straight while Kye was on the side of the wall. He side-stepped when he saw water forming on the ground.
Since there wasn't anything blocking him anymore, Kye swung his sword with one hand while firing a Holy ray with the other. He didn't want to let any chance for her to survive, so by using two different attacks, Sylvia would have to take at least one of them.
But what Sylvia did shock him. freeweb(n)ovel.com
She decided to dodge the Holy ray, deeming it stronger than the sword, and let Kye pierce her right shoulder. Her HP dropped to half because of such a big wound, but Sylvia didn't stand idle. She created a sword herself and thrust it onto Kye's right shoulder. She wanted to aim for his heart, but the pain made her miss.
Both of them had only had half of their HP left.
"You're stronger than I thought," Sylvia said to destabilize him, but kye didn't answer. He just shot another holy ray.
Sylvia knew that something like that would happen, so she made water appear right where the ray would hit her. However, she underestimated the power behind it because it still pierced her water protection, followed by her body.
They were both locked into each other swords, but it was clear that one of them was more injured than the other.
Kye was about to shoot another Holy ray to her face this time, but Sylvia made a flying spear that pierce his stomach.
"This fight is insane," The spectators were all baffled.
"Sylvia was still winning a few moments ago, but the guy's golden ray made her stop."
"Do you guys think it was made by light element?" It was quite fast, so it's understandable."
"Nonetheless, he is still strong. Just look at how he side-stepped before the wall was created. He even dodged the spikes thanks to that."
"It was a good idea to come and watch this fight," A few other people nodded.
Kye and Sylvia were still locked onto each other's weapons, but none of them wanted to give up.
The pain factor, even though was less than in real life, was still pretty decent. It was to make the game even more real.
But even with all the pain, they felt from their attacks, they didn't give up.
They locked into each other eyes before acting again.
Kye was about to shoot another Holy ray while Sylvia was ready to use all her power to end this fight. But at the last moment, Kye's palm faced another direction.
