The Duel

Chloe: " Okay that should be all! " Chloe announced while sheathing her rapier, while the mountain of bodies that lay around her only responded with a groan, which she didn't mind at all and then right away left the premise  

Shizuku: " All Mages! Go and heal the soldiers right this instant! "

Fuka: " Inform the next batch of Soldiers that would received the training to be ready in about 10 minutes "

Fuka and Shizuku seeing that the training session was over Immediately ordered there subordinates to act so that nothing would mess up with there training, and of course with them being used to this already, the Subordinates Immediately acted upon there orders and then went to there respective orders

Altimia seeing this also decided to act as well

Altimia: " Wait a minute! " Hearing her voice, Fuka, Shizuku and the nearby subordinates Immediately stopped what they were doing and then looked at Altimia curious on what she was going to say " Inform the Soldiers to be ready for there Training in about 30 minutes Instead " Altimia ordered the Subordinate - which was a maid -, who then looked at Fuka, to see if she held any form of rejection, but seeing none of it in the Princess Face, she then bowed down to Altimia

Maid: " Understood General " And with that she then went away

After the Maid has left the area, Fuka then looked at Altimia and then asked 

Fuka: " Why did you changed my order Altimia? " Fuka asked her cousin, who only looked at the direction of where Chloe was 

Altimia: " I merely want to duel Lady Chloe, Fuka " Altimia answered her cousin's question, who upon hearing the answer merely sighed 

Fuka: " Is that so, well very well, this could also served as your training as well Altimia, since you did promised Rimuru-chan that you would become better when she returns after all " Gaining her permission, Altimia just bowed down to her slightly and then left the premise as well going straight to where Chloe was going to  

While this was happening, Chloe sneakingly glanced back at them and then saw Altimia walking towards her, making her smile fully knowing what she would want from her after all, which caused her to silently celebrate at this since her plans was moving faster than she anticipated 

Chloe: ' I'm sure that she would request for a Duel to see if I'am truly 'am a User of a «Tempest Arts» with this, I could potentially make them call Rimuru-sensei ' With that plan on mind, she then turned around to face Altimia, while also making sure that she herself was close enough for her to hear her steps so that she wouldn't suspicious one bit, while also acting to be confused at her "sudden" appearance

Chloe: " Oh? Altimia-sama, could it be that your trying to talked to me about something? "

Altimia: " *raised brow* How could you know that I'm here to talked to you? "

Chloe: " Hmmm~ It's more so because that there is nothing Important in this parts of the Field except for my resting area, which is my tent, so by that logic you are looking for me for something "

Upon hearing her explanation, Altimia could only nod at her, fully acknowledging Chloe's deduction

Altimia: " Yes, I was going to asked you about something like you thought "

Chloe: " Is that so? Since I already know your Intentions, could I hear it? If you don't mind " Chloe decided to asked to speed along this conversation a bit, but also making her tone of voice to be that of curiosity, while also adding a line that wouldn't make it sound like she is demanding of her to answer her question 

Altimia: " It's quite alright to tell here, since It wouldn't be a secret if you agreed to my request "

Chloe: " .. And is this request that you planned to asked? "

Altimia: " Could we have a Duel? A 1 v 1 Fight between Swordswoman "

Upon saying those words, Chloe then went silent for a bit, making it appear that she is thinking about her request, but since she already knew what she wanted and what path to take, after a few seconds, she then straighten herself and then answered 

Chloe: " Very well, I accept your request for a Duel "  

━━━━━

*Clang*

*Clang*

In the Middle of the Field, there stood two Master Swordswoman who was clashing blade for blade

In a way that would make many people question there own ability to fight

The two fight was like that of The Most Beautiful Dance of Sword

*Clang*

*Clang*

*Swish*

*Clang*

*Swish*

*Swish*

*Clang*

The two clashed Blades that made the surrounding area to shake like that of an earthquake, and when they missed there attacks, the direction of there attacks would create a strong gust of wind that would then cut everything in the direction in about 100 meters

But despite the damage that the two was causing, they didn't back down or lower there power, but just continued to fight 

Altimia who decided to duel Chloe, was right now breathing quite lightly, she wasn't tired at all, but despite that she knows that she would be tired if the two continued to fought continued 

But above all, she was able to confirmed her theory

Altimia: ' She really is using «Tempest Arts»! And she isn't even hiding it, she is quite readily flaunting it to the point that even Fuka and Shizuku should have also find out about it now, but why reveal it? Since «Tempest Arts» isn't known in the Entire World except for the Tempest Royal Family and Me, so how did she learnt it? And above all, to this level of Mastery? ' Altimia thought confused at the current situation that she was in

Altimia upon seeing that Chloe was using «Tempest Arts», was Instantly alerted, and Immediately tried to know how she acquired it, at first she thought of possible spy's that was able to see it and then copied it, but Immediately dismissed it, since in the Entire World, Tempest is by far the Best in Spy's with the Shadow Corp, making them as well have the Best Spy and Information Defenses in the Entire World, with it being Enhanced with Rimuru making some changes and adding new things to it, making it truly unrivaled 

Because of that, in order for a Spy to actually stepped in to the Castle, it would be more hassle than it's worth, making it so that no Spy would dare to stepped put into the Castle, less they want to be executed 

But above all, Rimuru would also Instantly realized someone was spying on her and would Instantly kill them

Because of that, Altimia Immediately withdrew that thought, since that was Impossible after all, so a likely scenario was that, she was trained by Rimuru herself 

Altimia: ' But when? When did Rimuru-sama have the time to actually trained someone? ' That was the sudden question that she was thrust into ' But above all, the amount of Mystery surrounding this person is a lot as well, and with how she is using «Tempest Arts», it's like she is trying to make us curious enough to asked Rimuru-sama herself? ' Altimia thought, while also drawing a conclusion for herself at the moment 

And while Altimia was thinking of this, the two didn't stopped in there heated battle 

*Swish*

Altimia narrowingly dodged a sword slashed that was heading towards her stomach, but she was able to dodged it by jumping over it and then slashed upwards towards Chloe who blocked it with Guard of her Rapier 

*Clang*

Chloe: " You're quite Skilled Altimia-sama, truly expected of you " Chloe complimented since this was the first time that she was going all out on an Opponent before after all 

Altimia: " You too, your're quite skilled yourself, but I already what Arts your using, so don't try to hide it anymore, since I used the same Arts as well, and I want to know who's more skilled than us after all " 

And with that Chloe then swang her Rapier upwards to deflect her sword upwards, and then swiftly bringing down her Rapier to slashed Altimia, who used the forced of the deflection to roll over to dodged the attacked  

*Swish*

Chloe would then rushed towards Altimia and then sending her way various sword slashes and strikes to put pressure on to her, but Altimia who has fought Rimuru in numerous Spars many times now, was able to skillfully blocked or deflect does attacks

Altimia: «Tempest Arts: Caladbolg!»

Altimia called out while sending in a Horizontal Slashed that unleashed an Arc of Fire towards Chloe, who only took a foot stepped back 

Chloe: «Tempest Arts: Godspeed!»

And with that, Chloe then disappeared from Altimia's side making the Arc of Flames fly through the unoccupied space

Chloe: «Tempest Arts: No Second Strike!»

Chloe called out right beside Altimia and then thrust her Rapier to pierce Altimia's head, but Altimia who sensed her presence could hastily brought her sword to blocked the strike, which luckily worked, with the sword having blocked the Thrust

But because of her fast action to the point that it left quite a few weak spots, and add in Chloe's crazy Strength, Altimia flew away from her original position in a few dozen meters away, with Altimia recovering somewhat to the ground while kneeling and panting    

And right now, Altimia was surprised by her level of mastery of the «Tempest Arts», which was shown with her using two Advanced Moves, which was Godspeed and No Second Strike

«Tempest Arts: Godspeed» is a Movement type Martial Arts, that manipulates ones own Mana and the Mana/Energy of the Surrounding Area to swiftly moved to different places in the effective zone, on how it is done. The User would used there Mana to pseudo fused with the Mana/Energy of the Surroundings and then quietly make a mini Explosion to there feet or legs to make them moved, making them looked like swiftly sliding through the surroundings, like that of an Ice Cude slipping through the surface when gently thrown

Because of this, the level of Speed that the Technique provides are very much determined by the User's Mana Capacity and there Mana Control, making it quite a difficult technique to used in a fight, but when used masterfully, it could quite easily saved the user from certain death if they are able to be fast enough to dodged it 

«Tempest Arts: No Second Strike» is a like it said, it's a sure hit kill technique, that would allow the User to kill any being if the Technique is activated the right way. On how it is done, it is simple in theory, but hard in practiced, on how it is done, the User must cover there blade or any kind of physical layer like ones fist, but preferably it's something sharp, and then to pierced the target of the attacked, and then suddenly unleashed all of the Mana in that covered up attacked inside the body of the Person, making them explode from the Inside, Instantly killing anyone that is hit by said attacked   

Because of that, it is a sure hit kill attacked that wouldn't even need a second strike, which is the reason why it gotten the name of No Second Strike, but of course there are still limitations to the Technique itself, and one of the most obvious is being that, as long as the attacked doesn't land on the User it wouldn't kill the Person, or simple having it blocked is enough to survived the technique, of course having the Strength necessary to destroy the opposition is enough to also kill the Person in question that is being confronted by the Technique

But of course that didn't happened here, since the Sword that Altimia is using is an Tier S- Familiar Blade that was gifted and modified by Rimuru Arcadia Gloria Tempest herself, because of that the Blade itself is one of the Most Powerful in the World making it have the necessary Defense to blocked the Attacked 

Chloe: ' She has a Good sword with her, if not for that she would have definitely been killed if the attacked connected ' Chloe thought while looking at the panting Altimia who has now stood up and then raised up her guard ' Besides that, If I held my Original Strength, I would have definitely killed her as well, if not for the fact that Ciel sealed my Original Strength away to go to this world, I would have defeated her in that one strike alone ' Chloe thought some more while now also readying herself for a sudden confrontation 

With that Altimia then decided to go to an offensive and then used Godspeed to Instantly appeared before her and then launched an Overhead Strike, but Chloe saw this and then decided to counter with her own Upward Slashed as well

Altimia: «Tempest Arts: Galatine!»

Chloe: «Tempest Arts: Arondight!»

With that Fire then surrounded the Blade of the Weapons and then clashed with each other which then caused an Explosion!

*Boom!*

Chloe would then take a stepped backed and then thrust her Rapier to the Smoke that was generated, but Altimia who has clashed with Rimuru in there spars predicted her line of attacked, and just ducked to dodged the attacked and then delivered an Upward Slashed to the Blade of the Rapier to redirect it upwards and with the amount of forces that she used to strike at it, Chloe wouldn't be able to slashed at her 

And so, she then used all of her Power and Speed to then thrust at Chloe's chest to finished the duel, but to her confused Chloe merely let out a smile 

Chloe: «Tempest Arts: No Sphere Boundary»

And when the Blade was about to connect, Chloe then grabbed the Blade of the Sword with her left hand and then raised her hand to sky and then used her right arm to performed an Elbow strike to her heart and when the strike connected, a sudden Mana Beamed was shot out of her backed shocking her, but Chloe wasn't done with her series of attacks, for she then used her right leg to sweep her legs of the Ground and then let go of the Blade in her Hand and then punched square to the face, which made her whole body land to the ground so fast and so hard that a whole 10 meter radius and 20 meter deep crater was made 

«Tempest Arts: No Sphere Boundary» is a Type of Martial Arts to quickly kill the Person that is used upon on, with the Technique combining both Defense and Offensive options to there best of ability, making it quite a powerful series of moves when if all moves connected could easily kill any Mortal Alive, especially with the sudden Mana Beam that would appear, on how that happens, by gathering a lot of Mana to there Elbow they would then unleashed all of the accumulated mana inside the opponent when the strike landed, making it quite a devastating blow that would kill Mortals easily 

Chloe then stood up before the unconscious body of Altimia who was deep in to sleep because of the attacked that she suffered from her blow

Chloe seeing this could only smile happy at her fellow student

Chloe: ' I see why Rimuru-sensei decided to train her in «Tempest Arts», she truly held a talent for it ' Chloe thought while also deciding to grabbed Altimia and then carry her over her shoulders to bring her back to the Medical bay for her treatment

While doing so, she was also thinking of her potential reunion with her Beloved Sensei
