My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

Chapter 117 The Training Gym (Part 3)

"Forget my sister. I've been watching your training, and I'm here to join your team. You need people to have a chance for the tournament, don't you? I'm the perfect candidate."

Luke, Alexis, and Nathalia arched their eyebrows almost in sync. "And what makes you think that?" The half-dragon inquired, serious, and analyzed the girl from head to toe.

Even though she was wearing a white jumpsuit, it wasn't hard to tell that Livia was in good shape.

She was wearing armor only in the area of her arms and legs, more specifically in the area from mid-thigh down. The fact that only her back was unprotected, announced that she had exaggerated confidence that she would never be hit in this region.

In the same way that Alexis looked at her, Livia also looked at Alexis, only instead of analyzing the half-dragon, Livia compared herself, and upon realizing that her body was not as beautiful as hers, the Elf turned her face away annoyed.

"I don't need to explain myself to other people, only to my cousin. If she wants, she can test me..." said Livia and then took her hands from her waist to summon a beautiful Panspermia sword.

Nathalia looked at Luke and when she saw the man nod, she summoned her Panspermia spear. "I will test you, but then you will answer some questions. All right?" she said, confidently as well.

The only people Nathalia had in mind to team up with were Luke, Alexis, and Shiro, but since Ayumi's plan involved taking advantage of the tournament's attention to the search for Luke's friends, the half-dragon couldn't participate, so perhaps they might need more people.

In addition, there were strict requirements for participating in the tournament of legends. The main one was that people over the age of thirty couldn't participate, so old people like Oliver couldn't help. This rule served as a reason why leaders of powerful Clans couldn't participate.

"So, are you ready? If you want, you know we don't have to use our Panspermia Weapons, right?" Nathalia spoke to Livia, as she walked to one end of the gym.

"And what would I use? A cute little wooden sword? That wouldn't bring out my full potential."

Nathalia simply couldn't find ways to contradict her cousin. The gym wasn't large and so within minutes, the four edges of the gym were crowded with employees.

The floor and walls made of emerald white granite could barely withstand the intense workouts normally, so Luke was a little worried about what Nathalia's abilities might cause the gym's structure.

If Nathalia went with everything she had, Luke did not doubt that she would be able to win. However, Livia was a complete enigma, one he had never even heard of.

Seeing the two girls, Alexis raised her arms to get their attention and spoke in a relentless:

"Look... I'll make the rules clear, pay attention. First, be aware that I can and must stop the fight if I feel it is necessary. Second, don't get too excited, this is just a test, and we don't want to cause any damage to the structure of the gym. And lastly... there are no winners or losers, but the match ends immediately if I see a drop of blood."

These rules served as much for the safety of the participants as they did for those watching. Alexis did not doubt that the two girls were strong people, so she had to impose restraints for a real weapon fight in such a tight space.

Then the half-dragon questioned, "Are you two in agreement with the imposed rules?" Nathalia and Livia nodded to her, as they faced each other with their weapons in hand. "Very well, you may begin."

The Panspermia sword that Livia carried was the one-handed type, and yet there was a huge hole where the guard ring would normally be, which meant that there wasn't much strength in the part that should be the strongest place on the sword.

As soon as Livia stepped forward, she saw Nathalia running towards her, holding her spear with only one hand. With pride, Livia smiled wryly, as if Nathalia was making a dumb decision.

Even though it was a one-handed sword, Livia held her sword with both hands at chest height with the tip pointing toward the ceiling. "<Thunder Razor>!" She shouted and a thunderous crash broke through the place.

From one second to the next, Livia's blade was surrounded by sparks of electricity, which was something so rare to see that it was only seen when literally thunder was falling.

People watching would be amazed at such beauty and grandeur. In addition, where before there had been an empty hole in Livia's blade, there was now a small ball of plasma.

Nathalia was not shaken, nor did she show any surprise. Running towards her cousin, Nathalia roared, "<Malevolent Hook>!"

Livia felt her body light for a moment and in the blink of an eye, she was already being pulled by Nathalia's ability. Livia stuck her sword into the ground and knelt to resist the pull, which seemed to be wrapping around her entire body.

After a few seconds, the effect disappeared, but Livia didn't even have time to get up, because when she realized, Nathalia was already in front of her. However, even though she was so close and had a spear in her hands, Nathalia chose not to attack, which gave Livia time to pull her sword from the ground and stand up.

During the next three minutes, the spear and sword crossed paths several times, but the result was always the same. Livia was forced to retreat and Nathalia had to advance.

Gradually, this irritated Livia, who did not have the chance to use any more of her skills. She still had no practice in using Gene Skills during fast movements, and this made it even worse when she was being pressed.

"Can you keep going?" Nathalia asked pulling away for a moment.

"Hah... Hah... You are strong." The short-haired Elf declared, panting. Although she had only known Nathalia for such a little time, she was already completely surrendered to her cousin's talents.

"You're not bad at all."

"Where did you get so much combat experience?"

"In the Vasconcelos Dungeon and you?"

"At the Oukiwa Academy."

Neither wanted to continue the test and the result was declared a tie, although the outcome was obvious. And unexpectedly, from that day on the two began to exchange experiences and in a short time, Lívia joined the daily training sessions.

For the proud Livia Strogueher, who did not have many ambitions until that moment, the defeat against her hitherto unknown cousin made her realize how inexperienced she was by relying exclusively on her strong skills.
