Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Chapter 26 Day 2 Of The Graduation Tournament

After a long and exciting day where Rex and Cassandra spectated a lot of battles between their classmates, even getting to spectate their friend's battle, they finally left the academy, returning home.

They left for home with a whole new knowledge about the nature of this year's graduation tournament, they also left with their battle fixtures.

As soon as the last battle of the first day ended, the school released the battle fixtures for the 2nd day where both Rex and Cassandra featured.

>Leon Demeter vs Cassandra Putin- Time: 9:00 am <

>Rex Vector vs Magma Jones- Time: 3:00pm<

With these fixtures, it meant that neither Rex nor Cassandra could dare to slack on getting home. Ben already qualified, and they were determined to also qualify for the next round of the tournament.

Rex had more reason to be concerned as his opponent was among the more renowned of the students, and here, renown translated to strength the majority of the time.

This was why once both friends got home, they wished each other Goodluck before going to their various homes where they started intensive training.

Rex had not fed Berserker his daily dose of swordsmanship, so he just used this as the prime opportunity to feed the hungry living sword.

Rex performed his basic swordsmanship repeatedly for such a long time that he was left breathless when he finally stopped.

After this, he performed his sword stance where he manipulated and channeled his mystic energy nonstop, releasing sword energy waves towards the sky that made slicing sounds nonstop.

Just like mystic abilities manifested in the form of burning fire, freezing ice, and other effects when activated, the raw manifestation of the domain mystic energy was sword energy.

These sword energy waves always have an extreme attribute, either sharp, heavy or any other attribute, depending on the sword master's inclination and they were the means for mystic swordsmen to overpower their opponents.

During the encounter in the beast sanctum when he went to look for pigs with his friends, after channeling his mystic energy, Rex was able to release sword energy from his sword that cut through his 2 opponent pigs.

Then was entirely because of luck, and the adrenaline coursing through his body. He still had to train hard to master sword energy control.

Now, after working hard for the past few days, though Rex could not call himself a master yet, he could materialize sword energy effortlessly.

Rex was still astonished by how much his control grew in just a few days. In his sword stance, it was like he was cheating as manipulating and channeling his mystic energy becomes second nature to him.

This was the main reason for his astonishing growth speed.

While training his control over sword energy, Rex finally started practicing his sword skills and technique again.

In the battle that would come the next day, his skills and his sword technique were his trump cards. Of course, he had other hidden trump cards already but he refrained from practicing all the time with them.

Even in his home, Rex could not be sure that other students were not spying on him, so he refrained from revealing all his cards even when training.

He could only train unrestrainedly in Berserker's sword world.

Having lived with his living sword for so many days, Rex never knew of this ability until he was plagued with the need to keep secrecy.

It was a world that his sword conjured in his head, very identical to a virtual world where he could practice all his skills nonstop.

Once he retreated inside, he practiced in the sword world until he fell asleep.

…

Sunday came, and the graduation tournament continued.

On the 2nd day of this esteemed tournament, it finally seemed that most of the freebies in this tournament who had not awakened mystic energy were all eliminated already.

From the very first battle of the 2nd day of the tournament, the difference could be felt as the battle intensity seemed to have increased a notch.

And unlike yesterday when only students with elemental mystic energy came out, today was different as not only students with domain mystic energy like Rex came out, but those with unique mystic energy also came out.

The first student with unique mystic energy who came out was Rhode Foster of the Foster family, a powerful mystic family with the iconic light mystic ability.

This special mystic ability enabled descendants of the Foster family who were able to awaken it to be able to manipulate the power of light.

Rhode Foster's opponent who was a student with the fire mystic ability could do nothing as this 18-year-old girl thrashed the hell out of him.

Light energy skills were not only unconventional, but they were terrifyingly strong and rumored to have the greatest penetration power alongside lightning.

Rhode Foster's opponent stood no chance from the onset.

After her battle that succeeded in exciting the spectators, the tournament continued as more students came out to clash against each other.

Different elemental mystic abilities were revealed, and those from Rex's department got to shine also as the 3 swordsmen with domain mystic energy managed to beat their opponents and qualify for the next level.

Before 9 clocked, another student with unique mystic energy fought. Unlike Rhode Foster, he came from a family with a special soul mystic ability that they called the Fleeting Illusion.

This battle broke the record for the fastest yet.

Once the battle started, John Naga simply channeled his mystic energy and activated his mystic ability. His opponent was immediately drawn into an illusion world that he was unable to extricate himself from.

All he had to do was walk closer to his opponent, unsheathe his knife and cut his opponent's cheek. There was no contest, he won.

Rex took note of all these students who were famous back in school. He recognized them as his strongest opponents to get the position that he wanted in this graduation tournament.

Immediately after John Naga fought, Cassandra finally got to fight.

Unlike most students who fought on the 2nd day, Cassandra's luck seemed to shine for her as the opponent she was up against was one of the weakest in the tournament apart from those without mystic energy.

The entitled boy lucked out and awakened mystic energy, but laziness and a lot of other factors meant that he had terrible control over his energy.

Despite knowing the notorious reputation of her opponent, Cassandra did not underestimate him as she calmly took this battle like it was against a tournament favorite which was in line with her personality.

She fought the battle in a coolheaded state, and as she hoped, nothing went wrong. All she needed was to channel her mystic energy to empower her attacks and she easily won the battle.

Another boon was that she suffered no injuries.

A few hours after she fought, after preparing his mind mentally throughout the whole morning, Rex finally got called for his first battle.

"And what do we have here? A showdown between the student known as the Earth Monster, and a student who was rumored to have just awoken his mystic energy a few days ago but is renowned in the sword department".

"Give it up as we welcome Rex Vector and Magma Jones of the mighty Magma family to the battle arena".

"Will the Earth Monster crush the sword maniac like expected, or are we about to witness an upset?"

"I can't wait to see the outcome".
