Seeing as the students attentively listened to him, the commissioner nodded and continued, “When the trial begins, you are required by the rules to fight anyone you encounter. Failure to do so will mean automatic disqualification.”The commissioner’s words undoubtedly generated a buzz from the students, especially from those who had special plans. The aim, as they thought, was to survive till the end of the allocated 10 hours, and to do that, they had to either steer clear of the stronger ones or form teams. Everyone had the unanimous plan to stay off the path of the elites or even team up with them. Now that the rules were against it, if any one of them was unlucky to meet the elites… words didn’t need to be said to understand the outcome.Commissioner Glenn anticipated their reaction and waved his hand to quell the talking. “I know it seems harsh that way, and the rule might favor some of you. The basis of this trial, in the first place, is to test your skills individually, and we c

Finnian didn’t know what his opponent’s ability was, to begin with. However, not a hint of fear appeared on his face even as he sidestepped his opponent’s attacks. From what he could gather so far, his opponent moved quickly, meaning that he excelled in dexterity to an extent. However, Finnian has seen movements faster and attacks more dangerous from Joel. Back then, even Joel had failed to land a hit on Finnian, much less Gabriel. Compared to Joel, Gabriel’s movement was a big joke. Finnian had finally gotten what he wanted from his opponent and didn’t want the fight to linger any longer than it should. He moved slightly to the side, parrying his opponent’s fist that had arrived in front of him while smashing his already formed fist into his opponent’s abdomen. Thud- The sound of something falling to the ground sounded out lightly as Gabriel’s body plopped to the ground unconscious. What was supposed to be a match of at least two minutes ended in a one-hit knockout. Finnian's expres

Bam!Joel’s fist came crashing down like a meteor with no restraint whatsoever, kicking up quite a bit of dust as a result. However, Joel’s expression changed because despite how fast and strong his attack was just now, Finnian seemed to be a step ahead. Just before Joel’s fist could reach him, Finnian sprung into the air, making Joel hit nothing more than empty air. However, Finnian had no intention to stop here.Bam!Finnian shot toward Joel like a bullet, sending a kick to the latter’s face. Luckily, Joel was quick enough to defend in the last second, but the force from the impact of the collision still washed through his body making him stumble backward. Almost coughing blood, Joel clutched his chest. “What just happened?” He hadn’t expected his first clash with Finnian to be this strong. As a matter of fact, he hadn’t imagined being the one to be in such a position where he had to suppress the impulse to cough up blood.Joel looked across to his opponent to him simply standing li

The fight became increasingly intense with every passing second. One side focused on attacking relentlessly while the other simply patted the attacks to the side, with both sides showing no sign of exhaustion. Joel just figured out that Finnian was effortlessly deflecting his attacks and instantly grew frustrated once again. He was giving it his all yet his opponent seemed to match his every move. Truthfully, this would be frustrating for anyone, especially for one who was currently going all out at the cost of exhausting his stamina to the max.However,Just when Joel thought nothing more could happen, he started to notice something shocking. Finnian wasn’t only matching his speed but was gradually starting to surpass it!Joel could now say that this was outside his expectations. With the strings of events that had happened in this fight, this was the most unexpected. It wasn’t how Finnian could deflect so easily his attacks, nor was it how he could match up to it, but how he could s

“I know you,” He said with a frosty tone, narrowing his gaze to the sudden visitor.Finnian had just sighted Clinton when he heard the latter’s comment. Though there wasn’t anything provoking about it, but the tone and obvious intent behind them wasn’t hidden. He wasn’t so pleased. He knew he was popularly known among the first-year but not for a good reason.“And?” Finnian raised an eyebrow, tucking on his glasses. “What’s with that sassy tone of yours anyway? You think you can do anything to me?”Veins appeared on Clinton’s forehead; he was clearly pissed by Finnian’s words. His hands trembled as proof of how pissed he was. Who was this good-for-nothing to talk to him that way? Clinton knew Finnian as a fellow classmate and was also among those who thought Finnian was being boastful when he had nothing to show for it. ”I’ve had it with boastful comments for one day. You think you got skills? Then show me!” Clinton roared and shot forward like a raging bull.Finnian didn’t quite unde
