THAT DAY I BECAME A STAR

KEVIN DRAGONROAD POV:

"Argh!!" What is this power?! How is he so strong?! 

"His soul is reinforced with my brethren's dragon soul. Although it is only a little, he is using it to the fullest so indeed it might seem as if he is strong. But if we-"

"IF ANYBODY DIED BECAUSE OF YOU, THEY DESERVE IT BECAUSE THEY WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO LOVE YOU."

"No, there is no if. Use draconic energy." Cissa used a tone I never heard coming from her. She, who is always calm and composed, seems enraged. But so I am. Because you have overstepped your boundaries!! You can insult me and my parents however you want but Selene and Excafol are off-limits!!!!

"No, I won't use draconic energy. He insulted me as a human so I will answer him as a human.."

I will make sure you apologize to them, even if I have to drag you back to their graves!!

Sebastian said that Overwhelming was coming from the strength of your resolve. And he really thinks he has more resolve than me? Do you have any idea of what I went through?!!! You keep insulting me even though you don't know me and you act like you are superior. I will show you then!! I will show you the strength of my resolve!!

I can feel it, the strength of his script is weakening. Is he tired? I stand up and use the raizen as support. I see, his strength didn't weaken. It is ME, I have managed to use it. I am using Overwhelming as well. But how?

"How? You are using an Overwhelming that is on par with mine? I can't believe it!"

"I don't care about what you believe! I will make you eat dirt and apologize to them! "

"Don't get full of yourself!"

The pressure suddenly increased again but it is okay. I can, I will overwhelm it.

"I will give you a taste of my best recipe."

I will show my last creation, the one which was inspired by Selene. I will show how great she was, her and Excafol and all those who truly cared about me!!!

"The strongest attack is obviously an overhead strike. It is the easiest to do and the surest way to kill. Also, it is moving from the top to the bottom so even the weight of your weapon will add strength to it. That's why I always use it to begin a fight. If somebody can handle my strongest attack from the beginning, then that means it is going to be a tough fight."

"But Selene, you almost slip my head open last time."

"Yeah? Get stronger then, little runt."

Yes, just like her, pour everything into a single strike, my aura, my soul, my very being…and unleash it.

The air starts vibrating around me, the ground even split a little. But this is not enough, more, I should focus more.

"You are taking too much time and putting too much energy into something that won't work. You are too weak to act tough in the first place."

Sebastian is also preparing something. He has sheathed back his sword and is holding it with his hand while the other is grabbing the scabbard tightly.

"I AM THE DRAGONROAD!! MY RESOLVE WON'T EVER BE SHAKEN BY THE LIKES OF YOU!! REMEMBER THAT!"

"Hmph, fool. THOUSAND SWORDS!"

As Sebastian unsheathes his sword, wind-like blades appears cutting through the air. But it is okay. Everything will be okay.

"SEVER THE SKY!" Yes, just like you, Selene. That overhead strike that could have even split the sky open. This is my tribute to you. this is your memento.

I strike down my raizen, a single vertical line appears in front of me, clashing with the uncountable blades. It destroys and passes through them like butter and reaches the high commander but…

"So, it was stronger than my first script. Well, you are above average, I guess."

He blocks the attack and like it was a natural thing to do, sends it flying in the air with a light and elegant movement of his sword. I can't deny it, his swordplay is beautiful.

"Wow!!"

"Impressive."

"…"

I hear the heroes reacting to something. What is it? They didn't make a single noise since the beginning of the fight so why… When I look at them, they looking up. Ah I see now.

"It did actually split the sky."

After Sebastian sent my attack to the sky, it actually cut through the clouds, creating some sort of an open eye above us, with the clear blue sky inside.

"That's is enough for your test. I think you will be a fine addition to the academy."

"First thing first, I will have you apologize for what you said."

"You are not at the level where you can make me so shut up. Anyway, there are other details I want to discuss with you. Follow me."

"I won't until you apologize. To begin with, I don't want to join this fucking academy. I am not-"

"Veronica Flolerl."

"W-what?"

"You want informations on her, right? I can give them to you."

"I see. Let's go then."

***

"You guys return to training. I have other details to discuss with him."

After our fight, We all went to one of the grey buildings of the academy. Sebastian sends the heroes away before we enter it.

"Hey, Farner! Catch!"

I give back the raizen Farner gave me earlier.

"What? You don't want it?"

"No. It's okay." That raizen was really good. As soon as I took it, it felt like I had used it my whole life. But I don't want to receive somebody's help.

"By the way, where is my wolfider?"

As we climb up the stairs, I remember K'nor and Anriette still haven't arrived to Mercuria. The heroes told me that they will come by carriage with the other priests who were not teleported but I hope K'nor will come fast. I miss him.
