I Just Inherited The Arcane Emperor's Legacy



He clicked his tongue and looked at the source of the throw. It was a young woman looking about 30 in the distance. She was standing on the balcony of the manor that was almost 50 meters away. 

Leo knew she was a 3rd Circle Aura Knight immediately. He flung the wooden sword a little and then threw it again. Instead of throwing it at the woman who threw it at him, he threw it at the girl who was taunting him constantly.

The wooden sword flew with great speed toward the girl. She couldn't even react and stared blankly at the person who dared to throw the sword at him in the middle of her home turf. The sword raced against the wind and flew past her head, missing it by an inch. The wind it brought with it made her wind blow.

The sword pinned itself into the gate that was behind Blake. He looked back in the distance and smirked.

"You're not the only one who knows how to throw a sword." He shouted.

The woman jumped from the balcony and landed on the ground. She walked toward the gate where Leo and the rest of the people were. When she got near them she stopped and talked to Leo.

"You have a lot of balls doing that to my daughter in front of me," she said. 

Leo smirked. "I wasn't the one who started it."

The woman looked at Blake who was still angry. Then she looked at him and asked, "So, you refuse to fight my daughter in a fair fight?" 

He shrugged. "I would hardly call it a fair fight, but yeah. What's my incentive?" He asked.

The woman took an item out of thin air. Leo's eyes widened. This was the first time he saw a commoner use a dimensional ring.

"This is your incentive. An Aura Gathering Pill worth 45000 Starcoins." She showed him a pill box.

He thought about it for a second and nodded. "Fine."

Blake, on the other hand, protested. "What about if I win? What will you give me?" She asked.

Leo looked at the woman with a look of apathy. He asked her, "Do I really have to bet something? I'm winning anyway." He said.

"This arrogance isn't what wins fights. It's experience. And I have more than twice what you have," Blake said.

The woman shook her head. "He doesn't need to bet anything. Blake, just fight." She said.

At this point, everyone was looking at the both of them with a lot of anticipation. They were going to see a fight that had so much drama and it was a lot more interesting than the normal spars they saw.

Lily, who was in the back, was incredibly worried. She asked Clarice and Evelyn to intervene.

"Why are we doing this? Leo will get hurt. Why are you letting him fight an Aura Knight? Blake is a Middle-Stage 1st Circle Aura Knight," Lily said. 

Clarice was confused. She asked Lily, "Did you not know that Leo was an Aura Knight?" She asked her.

Lily looked at Clarice with confusion. "He was? I remember he would go to Valkyr's Forest to finish a few small jobs like gathering herbs just around 8 months ago."

Evelyn and Clarice were shocked in turn. They had known for a fact that Leo was a 1st Circle Aura Knight 4 months ago. If he had only started training 4 months before that, that would mean that he was a monstrous genius.

Meanwhile, Leo walked past Blake and pulled out the wooden sword that was lodged into the gate. The sword was incredibly damaged and had a chipped blade, but Leo didn't care.

"Where do we need to battle?" He asked.I think you should take a look at

Blake walked to the nearest open space in the courtyard. Leo followed her. Meanwhile, the woman watched this happen calmly. One of the other mercenaries who looked the same age as her walked toward her. She started talking with her.

"Why are you doing this? You practically bullied the boy into battling your daughter. I never thought you were this overprotective of your daughter." She said.

The woman scoffed. "Overprotective? You call this overprotective?" She said.

The mercenary was confused. "Yes? Didn't you make them battle because your daughter didn't like the boy disrespecting her?" She asked.

The woman shook her head. "Blake has become incredibly unruly. I could never contain it because I was gone all the time and by the time I realized, she became like this. Someone has to teach her a lesson, and the boy came by himself to do that for me." She said.

The mercenary was still confused. "How is a 14-year-old going to make a difference?" 

The woman pointed to the arena. "Blake has the habit of underestimating people greatly. Watch and see why that is such a bad habit."

They watched as Blake and Leo stood across from each other. Blake looked at Leo with dislike. Leo simply showed apathy.

"Start!" The woman said.

Blake immediately rushed toward Leo and swung her sword down at him. He pulled his wooden sword up and parried the blow with a single hand. He didn't budge a single inch from the blow.

She was immediately shocked by the result. She pulled her sword back and swung again. This time she tried swinging sideways, trying to hit his torso.

Leo dropped the sword into his left hand and blocked the sword quickly. He looked at her and asked, "Is that all you got?"

She backed a little and then started gathering aura. Everyone realized that it was going to be dangerous, but the woman stopped anyone from interfering.

Blake gathered a red aura to her blade, making the nearby surroundings warm. Leo still looked unbothered. She launched herself forward and swung her blade down.

Leo stepped forward and suddenly sidestepped. He glided through the ground and managed to appear behind her in the blink of an eye. He switched the sword from his left to his right hand and swung it, leaving behind a trail of darkness. The sword quickly reached the back of Blake's neck, but didn't make contact.

The wooden sword stopped a centimeter away from her neck before losing all of its aura. Leo then tapped her neck lightly.

"You lost," he said. He looked at the woman. She threw the pill box in her hands at him. He caught it with his left hand. 

"Thanks. You should teach her not to pick fights with kids," he said. He walked to the gate where Clarice and Evelyn were waiting. Lily had her mouth wide open in shock.

She didn't believe that Leo was so powerful that he would so easily be able to deal with Blake. Meanwhile, Leo bid his farewell to Clarice and Evelyn. He then turned to Lily and threw the pillbox at her.

"Next time I see you, you have to be an Aura Knight. Okay?" He told her.

She nodded.

"Fine, I'm leaving. I'll see you around."

He said and walked out of the manor. The minute he left, everyone who watched the fight swarmed Clarice and Evelyn to ask them who he was. Blake, on the other hand, looked incredibly disappointed with herself.
