The battle for the First Seat arrived as scheduled.
It was considered a big event for every grade.
There were many benefits for the First Seat. Other than the extra credits, there were also scholarship, free electives, private tutoring, and so on.
If there was a chance, Rashu still intended to fight for it.
Oh no, he should take it down.
Rashu didn't think that there was anyone in the third grade who could be his match.
Even if it was…
Not even the famous third-year First Seat, the genius Knight Lawrence!
The competition for the First Seat required one to sign up, and Julian had already signed up for Rashu.
However, Rashu's true goal today wasn't the First Seat. To be precise, the fight for the First Seat was just a side event.
"Teacher Julian."
Rashu walked up to Julian and said calmly,""I want to apply for the skipping test after the First Seat competition.”
"Are you applying to skip a grade? Your strength has indeed far exceeded the scope of the third grade.”
Julian nodded." Sure, I'll help you apply later."”
After saying that, Julian looked at Rashu with gratification and anticipation.
Julian knew Rashu's talent for swordsmanship the best. He knew that Rashu could amaze the world with a single feat, but he did not expect him to rise so quickly.
The third-year First Seat competition was held on a training ground that was slightly larger than usual.
The third-year students and instructors arrived one after another.
Rashu was no longer the same as before. Even though he was just standing quietly in the corner, he was like a spotlight. Countless gazes gathered on him, receiving everyone's attention.
"The battle between the First Seats this time is going to be interesting. I wonder who is the strongest in the third grade, Rashu or Lawrence!”
"It should be Rashu. After all, Rashu was able to defeat a 5th year student of the 8th rank.”
"It's hard to say. After all, Lawrence is also very strong.
However, Rashu's swordsmanship had already reached the third level of Lifting Heaviness as Light. Lawrence should not be his match.”
There was a lot of discussion below the stage, and the topic of discussion revolved around the names of Rashu and Lawrence.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the sidelines. Someone shouted,"Lawrence is here!"
Rashu followed everyone's gaze and saw a valiant and strong youth. His figure was particularly burly, and he was half a head taller than his peers.
Lawrence walked out from the field, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for him. Everyone showed a faint respect for him.
When Roseau looked at Lawrence, Lawrence also noticed Roseau's gaze.
The two of them looked at each other. After a short confrontation, they quickly looked away.
This battle would eventually come.
The students on the sidelines were already excited, looking forward to the duel between the two.
Soon, the competition officially began.
There were a total of more than 30 people who had signed up for the First Seat battle. They would fight in pairs for a total of four rounds of competition.
The competition was arranged by the instructors, and there was no possibility of underhanded manipulation. This was because there was only one First Seat, and only the strongest person was chosen.
Moreover, there was sufficient time to recover after each round of competition, which was very fair.
Rashu's first opponent was a short, stocky, dark-skinned civilian youth.
"My name is Hans, and I am honored to ask you for advice, Student Rashu.”
The honest young man seriously gave Rashu a knight's salute, and Rashu returned the salute.
When the referee announced the start of the match, Hans immediately roared and charged at a bull.
"Ha!"
Hans 'swordsmanship was very strict and powerful, like a blacksmith swinging a hammer to smash down.
"The strength of a rank 5 Knight Apprentice, but his speed and physique are slightly inferior…"
Rashu immediately saw through Hans's strength. At the same time, he thought,"" Store and record the target's actions…"
"Recording…"
This competition was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Rashu to secretly learn other people's sword techniques.
Although many low-level sword techniques were useless to Rashu and he would not practice them, he could still enrich the A. I. Chip's database.
It would be greatly beneficial to the future optimization and synthesis of sword techniques.
In order to let Hans display the full set of sword techniques, Rashu did not attack and kept dodging.
With his speed as a grade-9 knight apprentice, it was easy for him to dodge Hans 'clumsy attack.
The battle lasted for about ten minutes. Suddenly, Hans slammed his sword on the ground and said dejectedly,""I'm not fighting anymore. I can't touch you at all.”
Rashu was stunned for a moment and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, What's the name of your sword technique?"
"Rolling Stone Swordsmanship…" Hans replied.
"Rolling Stone Sword Technique?"
Rashu muttered as the A. I. Chip's voice sounded in his mind." Storing of the Rolling Stone Swordsmanship completed."
"The gap between me and Student Rashu is too big. I'm not your match. I'll go back and work hard on my cultivation.”
Hans grabbed his sword and walked off the stage in disappointment.
The onlookers looked at each other. They did not expect this outcome.
Rashu did not even use a single sword and forced his opponent to admit defeat.
Those who had the confidence to participate in the competition for the First Seat were all people with outstanding abilities. Hans was one of the most famous third-year commoner students.
However, he didn't even have the qualifications to make Rashu draw his sword.
"The gap is too big. Rashu is completely at ease with Hans.”
"It's like a cat playing with a mouse. They're on completely different levels.”
" It reminds me of the scene of the seniors bullying the juniors…"
"Do you think Rashu's title as a sword arts genius is for nothing?”
After this battle, the 3rd grade students had a rough understanding of Rashu's strength, and the gazes they looked at Rashu with became even more respectful.
Rashu looked at the battles on the stage and recorded the sword techniques that he had never learned before.
In just half a day, he had recorded five low-grade sword techniques.
However, the completion level was relatively low. It was a little difficult to cultivate, but it was more than enough to fill the database.
Rashu had also witnessed Lawrence's attack. With just one sword, he had defeated his opponent.
"His strength is close to that of a rank 7 Knight Apprentice…"
Lawrence was indeed a recognized genius. He was already stronger than most fourth-year students in his third year.
