My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 12: Ranked Battle



After Jake saw the system notification, His blood started to rush through his body with excitement, he was going to give it his all in this fight.

They made their way to the center of the field, with all the students surrounding them from all angle making a sort of ring. Sergeant Lee was there to oversee the ranked battle so there won't be any casualty.

"So listen both of you to the rules. The rules are; No strikes to any place fatal, you are only allowed to use the wooden equipment of your choice provided to you. And finally, a person can only be declared a winner when they knock out their opponent or their opponent give up and surrender." "Do you understand?" Lee asked.

"Yes." They both answer at once glaring at each other.

"Do you think Jake has a chance at winning?" Vynn asked Peter and the rest who were grouped at the front watching Jake's match.

"I don't really know. Jake is just ranked 200 while his opponent is ranked 180." Jack honestly answered.

Peter laughed at the others. "Do you think Jake is easy to beat? Especially when he is determined about something."

"Don't be silly. We all know that the odds of Jake winning that fight is very slim." Sophia said.

"You are the ones counting Jake out but am not. I'm sure he's going to surprise all of you." Peter said now focusing on the match that was about to commence now.

Sergeant Lee stayed in between Jake and Blade and then looked to both of them.

"Are you both ready?" Lee asked.

"Yes." They both reply while not taking their eyes off each other.

"Shit shit shit! What have I gotten myself into? How am I going to defeat someone ranked 180?" Jake thought annoyed at himself.

Just then, Lee raised his hand down and quickly swung it down signalling the start of the fight.

Immediately Lee swung his hand down, Blade didn't waste any time charging forward towards Jake with full speed.

When Blade got to Jake's position, he swung his wooden blade diagonally towards Jake stomach. The speed was unexpected for Jake and he was struck in his stomach making him curl downwards from the pain.

Then Blade used the butt of the blade to hit Jake on his head with all his strength, making Jake's face to hit the ground with much force that it broke his nose.

Blade decided to give Jake a breathing space so he could recover a little and then torture Jake over and over, that was the plan.

Jake managed to stand up with his hands on his knees while he was panting hard. And then Jake lifted his head up and on his face was a smile plastered across it.

"I just got the answer to beating you here." Jake said standing up still smiling. "And that is to use everything I got and also to imagine your face as the one thing I really hate."

Jake shouted while running towards Blade with all his speed. Blade didn't even have an ounce of worry because he knew that there was nothing Jake could do to him.

When Jake was charging towards Blade, he quickly cast one of his skill. <Inspect skill>

And it brought some of Blade's information.

<Opponent>

<Name: Blade Jax>

<HP:15/15>

<Strength: 30>

<Speed: 25>

Seeing this, Jake left the inspect skill active for what he was about to do next. Quickly selecting another skill, Jake was finally ready.

<Melee combat>

Jake ran faster and slashed with his wooden sword but Blade avoided it. Quickly changing plan, Jake withdrew the sword quickly and used the butt of his sword to hit Blade across his face thereby causing Blade to stagger back.

Glancing towards Blade's HP, Jake smiled for the skill worked wonders.

Blade's HP was displaying. <HP:10> therefore, the skill <Melee combat worked causing 5% damage on Blade.>

Quickly not letting Blade rest, Jake used all his strength to hit Blade on his leg toppling Blade down and then he used the sword to strike Blade's head but Blade quickly avoided the weapon by rolling over and then he quickly got up.

Taking a stance, Blade smiled. "You are quite good but too bad you are going against me." Blade said while running towards Jake again and then instead of his weapon, Blade swung his leg towards Jake's head that landed squarely on Jake's head causing him to crash down.

"Have you given up yet?" Blade asked smiling to which Jake struggled to stand up and face Blade.

"I made a mistake." Jake said. "I was weak then and am still weak now but it doesn't matter for I'm going to defeat you no matter what."

Glancing at his HP, Jake could see that he only had one shot at this. Realizing this, Jake took a fighting stance and waited for Blade to come to him instead. Blade not minding this, arrogantly ran towards Jake who still remained unmoving.

After reaching a foot away from Jake, he decided to swing his leg again since it was the part of the body that has a longer reach. While Blade swung his, Jake still didn't move waiting for the leg to get closer to his face and when it did, Jake used all the strength in his hand to stop and hold the leg in the air.

And then Jake used the wooden sword to hit Blade's leg repeatedly in quick succession. And then Jake released the leg and quickly moved behind Blade who was struggling to stand on one leg after what Jake did to him.

When Jake got behind Blade, he mustered all the strength in his body to smack Blade's head with the wooden sword thereby rendering Blade unconscious.

Immediately Blade fell unconscious, their watches made a ding and the ranking system was changed with Jake in rank 180 while Blade's was in rank 181.

Meanwhile the whole crowd were silent unsure how to react because what they were seeing was unbelievable. For the lowest rank to beat someone several ranks above them.

The people most shocked were Jake's friends, they couldn't believe that Jake managed to win the fight. Well except Peter that was, he was the only one who had faith in Jake. After some time, the whole crowd finally came to and applauded Jake for his victory.

Meanwhile, after Jake defeated Blade, he heard a ding in his head but before he could read it, he swayed a bit and was about to fall down but sergeant Lee already anticipating this, quickly came and caught him before he could hit the ground.

Sergeant Lee quickly dismissed the whole class for the day, while taking Jake and Blade to the academy's clinic meanwhile Jake's friends begged Lee to allow them to accompany Jake to the clinic as they were worried for him.

Initially, Lee refused to take them, but after some back and forth, Lee finally accepted to allow them accompany him there.
