Cross Dressing In A Fantasy World Full Of Magic

Doing an hour of my swinging sets, I stopped. I think it was enough practice for the day. There were other things that I had to do.

I have wanted to try out the arena battle. My ranking in the arena was one thousand and seven hundred and sixty-nine. There were already two hundred and sixty-nine people in our grade that had begun fighting for their rank.

More than half of them had fought, and I didn't want to be left behind, so I went to the battle arena. It has been almost a month since I went here. The battle I had with Serena wasn't even close. I would've lost instantly if she had used her hypnosis magic at the start. However, the current me would be able to defend well against moves like that. I don't think I could be beaten by anyone this year.

If I fought the second year, the top three would only be a match against me. I wouldn't have to worry about them now since I would be fighting people at my grade or the lowest of the low of the second year.

It was great that winning in a fight against your opponent would give you credit since the school encourages us to fight among ourselves. Therefore, they have to provide us with prizes to keep us motivated.

I was also broke from my last shopping trip. So doing this will not only raise my grades but also give me money. It was like hitting two birds with one stone.

Leaving the training ground, I went out and began my walk to the battle arena. There weren't many people here, it was still pretty early, and class had started. Most people here would only be people who want to battle or test their own strength.

Previously I would just enter the battle arena since I had an opponent that I would battle. However, now that I wanted to raise my rank, I had to make a queue waiting for someone similar to my rank.

I still couldn't believe that some of the technologies in this world could be so advanced that other ideas were far below average. I guess culture matters, but in our cases, we needed to become stronger, so we probably didn't have the time to do so.

Touching the magic computer, I queued up for my battle. Putting my identity card on the screen, I was queued up for a match. Unfortunately, no one near my rank had signed up yet, so I had to wait.

After half an hour of sitting, there was someone that I had been matched against. I was going to battle someone at rank 1730, a student of rank E. I didn't give much thought to the person I was going to fight. It might look arrogant to say it would be easy, but I was confident I wouldn't lose.

Arriving at the battle arena, I could see my opponent. Like any other student, she was wearing our school uniform. She was an average student that could be found anywhere in this school. While she was someone I could never get tired of looking at, she was looking at me. I could tell that she was nervous. She was shaking a lot when facing me.

The battle was about to commence. With the countdown starting, both of us were ready to fight.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"BEGIN!"

The difference between fighting without ranking and fighting for a rank was different. I shouldn't be surprised. For the students, it could determine our ranking for us.

With the countdown finished, my opponent began to make her move. "I surrender!" The girl shouted, scared.

"???" I was going to begin my attack, but she surrendered immediately, calling off my magic. I began to sigh. I should have expected something like this when I saw her scared. Most of the people in my year already noticed how much damage I could do. No one wants to fight a losing battle and get nothing out of it.

Disappointed, I left the arena and went back to the queue. My rank was 1769, but now I ranked up to 1679. I couldn't fight the same opponent twice. You would need to fight at least ten other people to fight the same person. They made it like that so people wouldn't abuse the system.

My first win gave me 100 credits. It wasn't that good, but I heard it increases as I battle people in the higher ranks. So with my first battle finished, I hoped my second battle would be with someone who wasn't spineless.

This time it took a few minutes for me to have a person I was going to fight. Rank 1632 is a person from Class B. That was a good class for anyone to be in. I just hoped that I would get to test my sword against her.

Going back in, I saw my competitor. Like the last one, it was a different girl wearing the same school uniform. Unlike the girl before, she didn't seem nervous. In fact, she seemed a little bit arrogant. She gave a confident grin when she looked at me.

"You're Charlie Solaris, right!??" She shouted while asking me a question. I didn't know why she needed to when she saw my name in her match. I nodded when she asked what she wanted.

"That's great. When I defeat you, I will prove to the school that I deserve to be an S Class student!" I didn't know how to comment back at her when she said that. I looked at her weirdly, the battle was about to begin, and I thought about ending this as soon as possible.

I want to see what made her so confident. Was she someone who was a delusion? Or was she someone who would give me a fight? I had to wait and see. As the battle started, I began to use my magic.
