Destroying My Own World

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Sparring. (2)

James, Victor, Travis, and Morris were sitting together on the bench on the other side of the arena. They weren't surprised not shocked because they had seen them in real combat and knew that they were scarier than demons.

"They said that they're not confident with themselves to enter the portal, and yet they're beating the strongest Chosen Ones like it was nothing," Morris said as he gulped.

"We don't stand a chance, aren't we?" James asked. "I wonder how could they be so strong even though they don't have a sponsor. Are they like this purely from their status points and skills?" James asked again.

Nobody could answer James' questions because Mykel and his team were so secretive about everything. They wouldn't get the answer even if they tried, and they had tried any kind of method to find any information about them.

"You want to go next, Jeanne?" Elena asked as she looked at Jeanne.

"Sure, so you want to be last?" Jeanne asked as she stood up and looked at Elena.

"I do. I want to try to fight all the guild leaders, and especially those guys," Elena answered as she looked at Agares and his team who hadn't joined the spar. "I want to see if I'm strong enough to fight them," Elena continued.

"They're different, Elena. Please don't provoke them because if you lose, Mykel would be disappointed," Jeanne said and she looked concerned.

"Don't worry about me. You should worry about yourself in there because your opponents would be different from the rest," Elena replied, and could tell everyone started to get fired up for the spar. "They won't hold back anymore," Elena continued.

Jeanne hummed with understanding and then walked to the weapon racks as she observed everyone on the training ground. She grabbed a sword, but then she thought that she might need a spare, so she grabbed another one.

As soon as Jeanne walked up into the arena, a man entered the arena with two swords in his hands. He was from the Valhalla Guild, and he had been with Magnus' side all the time. He was the vice leader of the Valhalla Guild, and he seemed determined about the spar.

"Before we start, can I ask you something, miss?" The man asked. "From all of you, where do you rank yourself in terms of combative experience?" he continued.

"She's the second strongest here. You don't want to take her lightly," Elena answered the question for him.

"I see, so you're the vice leader of the Rebirth Guild?" The man asked.

"You're wrong. She said the second strongest here, and the first one is her. If you think Mykel is on the chart with us, you have mistaken. He's in his own league," Jeanne answered.

"I see, but I won't hold back," The man said as he swung his swords and then readied his stance.

"Freyja," Jeanne said since the man's stance was similar to Freyja's.

The man was surprised and it looked like Jeanne was spot on about it, and that made the man lose his confidence. He then dashed forward and swung his sword at Jeanne's face, but to his surprise, Jeanne parried his attacks and made him lose his balance.

He thought that Jeanne would attack him just like Aurea did, but she waited until he recovered. He misjudged her, and somehow he admired her because she respected him as her opponent.

"May I ask your name, miss?" The man asked.

"Jeanne. Jeanne Dvar," Jeanne answered.

"What a beautiful name. My name is Erik Bjornson, the vice leader of the Valhalla Guild," Erik said as he readied his stance.

Jeanne gently smiled and nodded her head as she readied her stance as well.

Erik tried to pull something out from under his shirt, it was a necklace and then he held it tightly. His whole body started to glow light green and then the light got absorbed into his body.

"Nice artifact, is that a Brisingamen?" Jeanne asked.

"How do you know?" Eric asked with a shocked expression.

"Queen of the Valkyries, Freyja treasured that necklace of hers. To think she would lend it to you, I guess she's fond of you," Jeanne answered. "But that's not going to help you, because I know everything about her," Jeanne smiled.

Erik didn't want to believe Jeanne's words, and it made his confidence waver. He decided to ignore it and just focus on the spar because he believed he had become stronger than her.

Everyone watched the fierce battle on the sides of the arena and was amazed by both of them. But they could tell who had the upper hand, and it was Jeanne because she didn't use any effort to repel and parry all Erik's attacks. They already knew the outcome, but not Erik, he believed that he could beat her as long as there was no time limit.

The longer Erik fought Jeanne, the more he realized the gap between the two of them.

"Thank you for going all out, but this isn't your moment," Jeanne said as she blocked Erik's two swords with her sword. "Everyone is waiting in line and you had your time already," Jeanne used all her strength and pushed Erik away from her.

"Is that so? I guess I'm not on your level yet. Thank you for the good fight," Erik said as he lowered his swords. "I forfeit," Erik raised his hand and then walked down the arena.

Everyone clapped their hands because it was an amazing fight.

Jeanne looked at her sword and it was brittle, she put the sword away and used the other one that she had prepared. When she looked at the other side of the arena, he saw five men walking up the arena. Everyone was surprised when they saw all the seven guildmasters walk up into the arena. Magnus, Lazarus, Shanka, Zhang, Ren, Jeong, and Darius were standing in the arena with their artifacts ready in their hands.

The seven of them were ready to fight Jeanne, but then they were taken aback by something and looked at someone behind Jeanne. Jeanne turned around and saw Aurea holding a dozen swords in her arms that she carried. She stabbed all the swords on the floor as she looked at Jeanne and then winked at her.

"I wish I can join you, but I got my time already. I just came here to bring you some spares since you're going to need them," Aurea said.

"Thanks, Aurea," Jeanne smiled as she nodded her head with understanding.

Aurea whispered something in Jeanne's right ear, and then Jeanne started to blush as Aurea giggled naughtily. Aurea then walked down the stairs as the others were looking at them and wondered what Aurea whispered into Jeanne's ear that made her blush like that.

"You said that we shouldn't underestimate her, right? Then we will test if she's indeed that strong," Lazarus said as he swung his spear.

Elena only smirked and raised her right eyebrow.

Magnus stared at Jeanne and he used the artifact which was the eye patch. He could see the outcome of the battle with it, and to his surprise that the probability of them winning was sixty percent. He got a chill down his spine when he saw the probability, and it made him think how strong Jeanne actually was that the seven of them weren't enough to give them a total victory.

"(Mykel, I wish you were here. I want you to see me)" Jeanne thought to herself as she closed her eyes.

"(I'm not there, but I'm watching you, Jeanne)" Mykel's voice could be heard inside her head.

Jeanne was startled when she heard Mykel's voice, and she immediately looked around and thought if she was imagining things.

"(Mykel? You got your power back?)" Jeanne asked.

"(Not all of them, but it keeps coming back one by one)" Mykel answered. "(You don't have to worry, and I have been watching all of you since the beginning. You're the heroine of the story, Jeanne, and you're also the heroine in this story. I believe in you)" Mykel said.

Jeanne smiled happily and it made everyone look at her with confused looks. But then she started to blush again and covered her face with her left hand.

"(Wait, did you hear what Aurea whispered to me earlier?)" Jeanne asked.

"(Unfortunately, yes. I'm fine with that, we can spend the night together. We haven't done it ever since we came back to Earth)" Mykel answered. "(In fact, I would love to)" Mykel pointed out.

Jeanne smiled and then lowered her left hand from her face. She immediately readied her stance again and this time she looked fired up.

"(It's a promise then)" Jeanne said.
