Riaz screamed loudly and tried to rush over to me.But."Stop!"With just one word, Instructor Selina stopped him, blocking his body with her mana pressure. It was the first time I truly realised the difference between an A rank and a S rank when I felt her pressure up close.Her strength was reduced to A rank due to the injury, but her mana still possessed the characteristics & essence of a S rank in terms of both quality and quantity.When she put pressure on us during the first class, she was essentially testing us and wasn't intentionally blocking our movements.Even when I fought August, his pressure was at A rank, where I was able to fight with him in a comfortable position, yet Selina's mana would have definitely decreased my speed to atleast half, if I have ever fought against her.When fighting August although I was extremely lucky.But even when Selina is now at A rank, and even if I had double the luck I had at that time, somehow I could instinctively feel that my chances

Pin-drop stillness descended upon the crowd as the match started in earnest, and everyone's attention was drawn to the arena's centre, where Riaz and Noah were locked in an eye-to-eye staredown.They both were simply slowly moving in circles, waiting, and measuring one another because none of them was willing to take the first step.Noah considered giving one hit defeat to Riaz very cheap, which would definitely not be sufficient to Noah to fulfill his will to trample on the pride of this bastard who picked up a fight with him for no reason.There was one rule that Noah always adhered to, and it was that don't poke someone for no reason, but once someone poke you for no reason, then don't leave him until he is no longer able to go back on two legs, for no matter what reason.So now that Riaz had poked Noah, then he got to pay the price.Although Noah could have rushed and concluded the fight quickly, but he wasn't willing to do so because of what Riaz had done against him before.Espe

"Huh?"Riaz's smile suddenly faded away and his brows furrowed, he was definitely a little perplexed by the blue lightning that suddenly surrounded me, and as I didn't had my sword Dainsléif with me, its colour didn't change into the usual pitch black that I use to have.Most people, and even Riaz must have known about this ability of mine, as I have used it quite a bit of time during the training inside the Academy, and during classes, but because I never showed the full extent of it that I can handle, they must have have not known the full power of it.But now, looking at this lightning that was more dense, stronger, wilder than normal, and something which was definitely giving the danger on the level of a Mana coating, they couldn't hold back to their senses of reality.One person without the required rank, being able to use Mana coating, may have been still understandable to them as he was a student in top 5 of the Entrance exams ranking, and was from a prestigious family, as they

Instructor Selina came in front of me with her superhuman speed in the blink of an eye, then after looking at me with a satisfied smile on her face, she lifted my hand, and shouted using mana voice amplification."And the winner of this duel is Noah Blackstorm."When everyone started cheering after a brief silence, she left my hand, and called the medical team who rushed on the arena and lifted up Riaz on the stretcher, before taking him away.Although his condition wasn't in a dangerous state, but because too much blood was flowing from multiple cuts and injuries, so he needed immediate attention, cleaning of wound and some healing potions.Now whether its a healing potion, or any kind of potion or Elixrs in general, they are usually too expensive for regular use, and the more stronger a person gets, the better quality of a potion he/she needs for the same immediate effect.That's why nobody, except for some exceptionally rich people, or people who are on emergency missions or situati

Outside of Rudger's house, Rudger, Amanda, and Luna were standing to see us off."Bye Daddy, bye Mumma.""Bye my dear, eat well alright and don't cause troubles for mister Rudger and Amanda."Sylvia spoke as she gave a hug and kiss to Luna, and I also hugged her and said some loving words, after which I spoke a few words to Rudger about the future plans, & to Amanda about her health.Speaking of Rudger and Amanda, Amanda had almost recovered now, and doing any kind of physically straining activity wouldn't be a problem to her.She could run easily, go outside too without any problems because her immune system was back to normal after these days of recovery, and most off all, now she was enjoying her time at home learning new things that she wasn't able to previously because of her health, and playing with Luna.Because she couldn't go outside at current moment as the matter about Rudger wasn't settled completely, so there was nothing she could do about not being able to visit Amusemen
