24 Becoming a Part-time Demon Hunter (1/2)
*Ding* *Dang*
The sound of metal clashing against each other could be heard.
”You're not bad.”, Sara swiped off a sweat drop from her forehead.
”Likewise.”, Sun said but he knew that it would be problematic for him to win without closing distance.
The longsword Sara swings is very long and got a powerful swing, so in order to avoid it, Sun needs a great strategy.
”Remember: If you are at a disadvantage during a fight, may it be your weapon or your strength, use the technique I taught you.”, Minerva's voice sounded in Sun's mind again.
”Oh, right. I can use that.”, Sun smirked and changed his stance.
”What is he going to do? Is he on defense?”, Sara was wondering.
Suddenly, Sun charged at her with insane speed.
”Fool, you think you can trick me like that?”, Sara smirked as she knew what he was going to perform.
”You will probably use Blind Step to get behind my back. But I won't let you!”, Sara slashed at Sun.
But she only sliced Sun's afterimage, leaving her in a shock for a split second.
”What?”
”I'm up here~”, Sun said in an arrogant way.
”How? Ignition Step?!”, Sara was dumbfounded.
*Bumm*
”Match concluded. Winner: Sun Reed.”
...
”I must say, I'm surprised, young boy.”, Sara praised Sun after they got out of the machine.
”Thank you.”
”Are you by any chance a student of Minerva?”, she asked.
”Yes.”
”Oh, then I don't need to worry about where you learned that skill.”
”What skill? - You mean Ignition Step?”
”Yes, it's a purple grade skill after all. Not many people can use such advanced techniques unless they've learned it from a prestigious teacher or brought it from the black market.”
”Is it that valuable?”, Sun just realized his only luck.
”But let's talk about that matter later on ... You won the match, so you can have your placement here!”, she said with a smile on her face.
It was still surprising for her, a pro, to lose to a student, but she obviously underestimated the boy.
...
”So, done! Here's your Demon Hunter ID. I've just registered it as a placement ID. Oh, and give yourself a pen name for Hunting while we're registering this ID.”, Sara explained while holding a metal token in her hand.
”A name?”, Sun asked.
”Yes. Hunters don't usually use their real name since it can be dangerous sometimes. I'm for example known as the 'Golden Lady'.”
”Golden Lady, huh.”, Sun thought and smiled wryly.
”Hm, just give me a few minutes.”, Sun said and sat on a chair to think about it.
”Yo, need my help with names?”, Lucifer suddenly popped into is thinking process.
”Give me an example.”, Sun asked Lucifer.
”Then, how about ... Dark Flame Master?”
”No.”
”Burning Fighting Fighter?”
”The heck? - NO!”
”Pink Fluffy Unicon?”
