As he looked at Fylard, Zeke used ‘Aether Control’ and saw how his body was like a vacuum, absorbing the tiny green particles in the air non-stop.Fylard was like a sponge as violent gales whistled within the arena, swirling uncontrollably.A milky aura covered the metallic Raul, further increasing his defences. He had confidence in his own ability, but Fylard’s Wind-aspected magic was getting stronger by the second and it would be folly to underestimate him.The two students prepared themselves before Fylard’s body was enveloped by a vibrantly-colored wind; Like a bullet, he shot at Raul while unleashing all of his stored energy.Likewise, Raul leapt in the air and performed a swift and strong punch that let out a milky-colored blast.For a split second, there was a blinding light and a deafening silence before the ground cracked and shattered and the barrier protecting the arena shook momentarily.When the bit of dust and the clashing energies subsided, the crowd saw Fylard covered

“Good morning everyone! I’m sure you’re all excited for today’s battles, so shall we begin?”Nayro was exceptionally good at riling up the crowd of youngsters. His orotund and loud voice reverberated across the arena as the 11 remaining participants stood next to each other.Whether it was Azmer or the others who got injured yesterday, they were back to full health today. There were a bunch of Second Year and Third Year students present too. The latter were only able to come and watch after finishing their own ‘Exam’, which explained their few numbers.To be precise, only Celestia Black, Maxine Orland, Vanessa, Harold Grimes, and Beatrice were there. The President of the Student Council seemed to be in a bad mood as he kept his distance from Celestia and sometimes glared at Zeke.He was still of the thought that a trouble-maker like Zeke should be expelled, however, his incessant complaints were all ignored by the teachers and Solas.{Julia Lopmore Vs Sarah Girm}{Zeke Orland Vs Rau

Special Agent Elizabeth, along with all her colleagues, walked to Zeke. Before speaking to their target, she glanced at the cold-faced Azmer and said,“Step aside.”She recognized him immediately, but that whole incident was covered, there was no reason to target him.As for Zeke, he stood still and kept looking at the red-haired general.After a minute or so, in which Zhang and Solas whispered to each other, the latter stood up and loudly declared,“The final fight will be postponed indefinitely. Cooperate with the Special Agents and orderly leave the arena.”The students were confused and surprised, but no one objected. Even Maxine, who wanted to go and help her brother, was pulled outside by Vanessa and James.Meanwhile, General Zhang looked to the eerily-quiet Zeke and said,“Whatever you’re thinking of doing… don’t.”He noticed a sinister and decaying energy emanating from the youth. Even someone as powerful as him felt the chills run down his spines the closer he got. Neverthel

“Splendid job, Sulong. The money has been transferred to your account. I added a small bonus too.”Madam Rodrey, the owner and manager of the brothel across from the Lightning Flame Merc Group, was waving her exquisite fan as she smiled at the gleeful man.“It was nothing difficult. If you have any other jobs, we'll be glad to accept it.”“Not at the moment, but I can refer you to some acquaintances of mine.”“Yes, thank you.”Jack and Jeremy were sitting a distance away, both pleased that the job had proceeded smoothly. In fact, with Zeke’s absence, it was only Sulong who went, but, ultimately, there were no attacks or complications.Moreover, Madam Rodrey paid them generously. They had spent a lot on redecorating the office and founding their new organisation, so they were in desperate need of funds.“I’d like to talk to you more… especially that young man, but I have other stuff to take care of.”The beautiful middle-aged man elegantly bowed then excused herself. Sulong, who was in

At the Industrial sector of the Sunken Metropolis, within a warehouse adjacent to the North-Eastern port.A man wearing a ceremonial and over-sized black robe with markings on it and a sinister-looking red mask was standing straight with his hands behind back.The mask only hid the upper part of his face, so his wide grin could be seen from a distance away.He had dozens of cultists standing orderly behind him, all of which wore regular black masks and hooded cloaks.“Took you long enough, Signora.”Red Mask Viper was pleased to see the woman arrive. He didn’t prepare any flashy welcome, but his heightened mood was apparent.Although he wasn’t particularly close to Velvet Signora, the two had worked together on several occasions and could be said to be a perfect match.As she wore high heels and walked towards the smirking man, Red Mask Signora, also known as the Collector, clicked her tongue and grumbled,“Couldn’t you have chosen a ‘cleaner’ place? I can’t stand the smell of fish.”
