God's Eyes

Due to his fast mana replenishing speed, Jason decided to fully exert his weightless step movement technique, to charge at his two opponents, which was both at the 2nd Adept rank, in addition to the amplification of their beast, which increased their strength to common 3rd Adept ranks.

Even though Jason was innately only at the 1st Adept rank, due to the baptism from the black Origin flame, his strength and mana core size were comparable to common 4th Adept ranks.

As such he was stronger and faster than his first two opponents.

Exerting weightless steps, his speed increased by 20%.

Reflecting his opponent's straight spear thrust with one dagger, he leaned even further towards the ground, before he appeared in front of the spear wielder.

Jason could only see a shocked impression on his opponent's face, as he cut through his neck with his dulled dagger.

The spear wielder took one step back and his legs began to shiver, as they lost all strength, giving in.

Jason didn't care about his `death` opponent and he saw Seron attacking his opponent without using any mana, as Jason appeared behind the sword wielder, finishing him off.

Right now it was more important to save as much mana as possible, at least for Seron, while Jason could use almost as much as he wanted, which frustrated Seron the most.

His soulbond was already exhausted and couldn´t use anymore mana injections, while Jason could fight to his heart's content with some marginal adjustments.

He had to adjust his combat style much more than Jason and because of that, Jason´s fights seemed more proficient and elegant.

It seemed as if Jason´s mana was without limit and both Seron and Jason looked fine finishing 20 spars in a row, only with some sweat pouring down their temples.

Their classmates looked at them as if two Lord-rank beasts emerged in front of them and they wondered how these two freaks suddenly appeared in their Class without them knowing.

Time passed and it was only when the 50th spar began, that Jason began to regulate his fighting style a little bit more while Seron was also visibly exhausted.

Suddenly at the 51st spar, Leo Heart and another top ranker of their class entered the combat arena.

With their 5th Adept mana core and physique in addition to their amplification, they were at the 6th and 7th Adept rank respectively and Jason frowned.

"I´ll take Urk" Jason said to Seron, who could only nod helplessly.

Their combat prowess was extremely good compared to their mana core rank but even though that was the case, the difference in their mana core rank and physique was still apparent.

In addition to that, they already fought 51 battles, if one included their own spar, which took most of their energy.

Looking at Till, Seron could only lament in his heart.

`What is your plan, master?!` he asked in his mind as the battle began.

Leaning forward, Jason shot towards Urk, the student with a mana core size of a 7th Adept, as he released he a bright red flame that enveloped his whole arm.

Urk obtained a fire affinity from a low-evolved beast and he was extremely proud of his strength.

When he was placed in Class 75 his self-esteem seemed to be completely shattered, as he couldn´t comprehend this kind of unfairness.

Thinking of himself as a prodigy, he didn´t even understand that his soul-awakening was more likely average with only 3 vacancies and a single affinity, towards fire.

The only thing that was relatively good about his soul-awakening was his soul energy, but even that could barely count as meeting the requirements.

With his rather high mana core rank, he was confident in defeating anyone in his class and even the classes above him, but now these two clowns in front of him stole the attention he wanted to obtain because of their single spar and the toy fights against 50 other pairs.

Urk wanted to receive praises from his teacher and classmates, as such he went all out and the flames that enveloped his arm were flickering powerful with his desire.

Jason knew that his opponent had a fire affinity, which was at the same time the reason for him to choose this opponent.

In Urk´s hand was a longsword, one of the most common weapons used by most hunter´s and Jason´s smile widened, causing Urk to feel humiliated and even more enraged.

Throwing a fireball without aiming carefully, Jason evaded it with a jump to the side which he completed with a roll to stand up directly.

With his weightless steps, he was extremely nimble and could evade the relatively slow fireballs from Urk with ease, which enraged his opponent even more.

As Jason was only five meters apart from Urk, he summoned a wall of fire in front of him, before he cleaved through his own firewall.

The firewall should disguise his attack and this tactic worked under normal circumstances.

Unfortunately, this was useless against Jason, who had his mana eyes activated during the whole spar.

Seeing the longsword cleaving through the firewall, Jason evaded the attack by leaning infinitely close towards the bottom, not without stopping his charge forwards.

The firewall was still standing, even though the upper part was cut and dissipating.

Urk supplied the lower part of the firewall with mana because he wanted to have enough time, to get into his combat stance once again.

How could he have known, that Jason didn´t care about the low-evolved ranked firewall, because he himself owned a black origin flame and was resistant to most flames that were weaker than his own.

The firewall as obstacle was completely ignored and Jason charged through it while even his hair didn't incinerate which was an astonishing fact before his dagger cut through Urk´s calves.

Jason finished his smooth move with a half turn and a trust towards Urk's neck, which `killed` him within seconds.

Even though Jason knew this fight would be rather short, he was disappointed with Urk´s combat experience and stupid tactic, causing him to lament their school´s average strength.

WIth some mana left within his mana core, Jason ignored the enraged piercing stare Urk threw towards him, as he charged towards Leo´s back, which was uncovered.

Only when two meters distance was between Leo and him, Jason got discovered when an earth wall erected between them.

Seron was fighting with Leo head-on, reserving some of his mana, when his fighting spirit suddenly ignited once again as he perceived Jason approaching them.

He didn't want to wait for Jason but right when he was about to charge at his opponent once again, Seron noticed that Leo erected an earth wall behind him and a bad premonition erected in his mind.

"DON´T YOU DARE JASON!!" Seron shouted when he saw golden eyes flashing out of the right side of the wall, with his dagger ready to thrust towards Leo.

Seron didn't like Jason earning all the praises and he was only a few meters apart from his opponent.

Activating his floating sky movement technique, he appeared in front of Leo without notice, and due to the pressure on two sides, Leo was completely overwhelmed as he covered himself with a thick membrane of earth.

Unfortunately, this was relatively useless, as Seron activated his sword technique, cleaving apart the earth wall, before Jason appeared below Seron, trusting out with his dagger right into Leo´s chest, `killing` him.

Jason and Seron won another battle and they smiled exhaustedly, even though Seron was pissed, which he displayed by punching Jason on his shoulder with some strength behind.

"Don´t steal my prey" he said laughing lightly when they went back to the starting position.

There were still more than 50 battles in front of them at least as long as everyone wanted to fight them, which they didn´t hope.

After fighting against Leo and Urk, that were among the top 5 students within their class, the others were all rather demotivated and nobody wanted to fight them with the exception of the other top students that wanted to regain their reputation.

Suddenly they saw Seron taking out two red-orange reagents.

While he gulped down one, he gave Jason the other one, which caused them to doubt the fairness of this battle

Lamenting to their teacher, the only response these top students received was:

"Before you show me that you are capable of sparing more than 50 spars without taking a single energy replenishing reagent, you guys better stay quiet!"

This statement caused the stirred-up mob to quiet down instantly, without anyone complaining about Jason and Seron anymore.

Jason was glad to get an energy replenishing reagent from Seron, as he himself did not have any potions, which was somehow frustrating and had to be changed soon.

Gulping down the liquid, his energy replenished extremely fast and he felt extremely vigorous in a matter of seconds.

The same could be said for Seron and the top students looked at them with fear, even though their strength was higher compared to the two youths.

Till saw this and said, "I increase the reward for defeating Seron and Jason to 100 Lace points while holding out for five minutes will be enough to obtain 50 Lace points."

This statement caused many youths to look at Seron and Jason with even more greed than before and it didn´t matter if they lost, as long as they survived five minutes they could earn 50 lace points.

With this small fortune, they would be able to purchase a new combat technique or similar rare items in a much shorter period.

Entering the combat grounds one after another, Jason and Seron gave Till an annoyed stare.

If glances could kill, Till would have died a few hundred times right at this moment.

In the end, they could only sight as both made themselves ready to continue their spars.
