Chapter 61~~ Elemental Dominance ~~“It’s so hard watching them use elements that keeps canceling each other out. It’s just too bland,” Kurt protested casually with his cheek on his fist.“Well, I think it’s cool to watch,” Ian shrugged.“Why does everything suddenly interests you?” Kurt asked while maintaining his stoic attitude.“This is the test of strength. Students gets to show their blessings to everyone. No conversations or restricting rules; you just fight to win. We get to see insane displays of power. Doesn’t that interest you?” Ian laid down his point and returned the question.Kurt reminisced on the white haired lad's words and answered, “Then explain this one. It’s like watching flames get quenched my water and the other way round, over and over. It’s frustrating.”“Uh… I guess the side with more experience and strategy wins,” Korah decided to chip in.“You took the words right out of my mouth,” Ian looked at her with a smile. She smiled back. Kurt just rolled h

Chapter 63~~ Agility and Durability ~~Gilgamesh’s brows arched down as he growled, lifting his spike-less mace from his shoulder and slamming it fiercely at Kurt Blackheart.Kurt’s senses ticked off and he dodged the swung mace by hopping back sharply. He sled to a stop as his feet touched the ground.Gilgamesh had already picked up his mace and he bolted forward with quaking steps. He let out a growl, swinging his mace at Kurt like he was about to wack a golf ball.Kurt pushed down his hands to hold the mace in place but was instead, catapulted into the air by the heavy force the mace carried. The black haired Kurt soared through the air for a while before crashing back first to the sandy ground.He bounced to his feet almost immediately. He got hit a mace of enormous force and was sent crashing hard to the ground, and yet, he had no scratches or cuts; he also felt no pain. He smirked, tugging at the collars of his brown jacket.Growling lowly, Gilgamesh raised a brow as his smalle

Chapter 65~~ Awakening ~~Knoxville, Dhemistaria.A thick black smoke swirled between houses in the village, its particles glistering like stars in the night sky. It moved like a snake with low glitching whispers emanating from it.Every plant or garden the black smoke flew over would dry up and wither. The villagers in their houses and those on the streets would gasp all of a sudden as its presence inundated them with a pressure of grief and sadness. They sighed in relief, feeling normal again as it’d have gone by.The thick black smoke kept swirling and swirling around the village, searching for the malicious intent it felt at the border. It suddenly stopped, floating over what seemed to be a reformatory unit. The land only occupied one tall, four-story building, that occupied thieves, robbers, debtors and other villagers that had committed one petty crime or the other. Various imperial guards sauntered around the facility with their sheathed batons.The air around the black

Chapter 67~~ The Final Battle ~~“Wow. A lot happened in my absence,” Karen said in shock and wonder. “And she’s deaf?” She motioned her chin to the white haired Korah.“Hm-hmm,” Ian nodded.“Is it just me or are we just meeting her for the first time?” Karen asked with a chuckle. She also didn’t notice Korah during their days in school.Korah exhaled depressingly, “I get that a lot.”Screech!The commentator stepped into the epicenter of the battle ground again in his black suit and trousers, accompanied with black dazzling shoes. He looked no different from when the Test of strength started. Whatever his safe zone was made of, it concretely safeguarded him from all the chasm thrown by the students.He held up his mic with a wide smile. His sea blue eyes shimmered in sparkles as his demeanor exuded a level of excitement that couldn’t be encased.He sighed, “ WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT? WE ARE ONLY DOWN TO TWO STUDENTS. WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE THE LAST MATCH IN THE TEST OF STRENGTH…”

Chapter 69~~ Relentless ~~Derek made an artistic splash on the sandy ground with the blood from his mouth. The force from Ian’s punch sunk his cheek inward, rubbing it against his teeth and the sharp canines tore it, which resulted in a burst of blood that he had just spat out.He stopped himself from stumbling any further and turned to Ian, but the latter’s fist was already lunged in a curve towards his face.Bam!It connected with his other cheek, causing another tear as he stumbled to the other side and collided with the wall.Ian took some steps back, shaking his hands to ease the pain he felt on his knuckles. He threw those punches with all he had and Derek’s cheek bones were really taut.‘Is he made of wood?’ Ian scoffed and cracked his knuckles.He heard Derek groan and saw him pull himself away from the wall. Derek spat out some blood and looked at Ian in rage.Ian didn’t waste a second more as he buckled a knee and translocated to Derek’s back. He appeared with his
