There were a lot of students who were interested in quickly rising through the ranks, however, not all of them were so eager to push beyond their limits to achieve their desires. Madison had just headed back to her dorm room after the magical weapons class had ended for the day.

She had a rank of 12.1, and although it wasn't that bad, she still wished that she could improve on it. So, that night, she decided to do something she never thought she would ever do the day that she had first entered the academy.

"I challenge you for your rank!" she yelled at one of her roommates. Since everyone else seemed to be challenging other students for their ranks, she decided why not do the same thing as well. She was interested in how she would be treated if she ends up becoming one of the five titans.

But, for now, she would have to start small, challenging her roommate who was just a little above her in rank. Madison had seen the girl used her ability during the abilities class, so she knew that

    Wanting to explain all the remaining Aikido techniques left for the students to learn, the instructors began explaining the other forms before finally decided to provide a demonstration on each of them. Honestly, it was a lot for the students to handle. They had just managed to learn one technique, and now, they were being forced to learn five more as soon as possible."After Sankyo, we have Yonkyo, which is also known as the Forth Teaching. This is a basic Aikido wrist control technique involving a pressure point. It is one of the Basic pinning techniques of Aikido. Within Aikido circles, it is considered with something of an awe, because of the distinct pain it induces."Then, there is Gokyo and Rokkyo.

    The fact that the instructors had decided to jam-pack all these teaching in one lessons was really bugging some students. They were interested in growing stronger so that they could challenge others for their rank. They were interested in the social benefits having a higher rate could give you. Everyone wanted to be treated nicely by their fellow students and be given respect.They saw this class as their chance at making that dream a reality, but with the fact that not everyone showed interest in the class, there were those who were slowly creating tension in the class. A serious student may have paired up with an unserious partner who wouldn't allow them to train while refusing to train themselves. Meaning they were not only holding themselves back, but also holding back someone who wished to progress.And seeing as no way was ready to switch up partners, they would have to bear with who they had ended up with, hoping that they would sooner or later start taking the class seriously.

    Reading through the information, he realized that it didn't exactly tell him the strength of the beast. The only useful information it stated was the fact that the beast was at peak condition, something that he was unhappy to know. The creature was as strong it could be, meaning that if they were going to fight, then it would certainly be one tough fight to win.Kayden was at least glad that the beast didn't have any skills or abilities, other than the fact that its drool was highly venomous and acidic. Still, he wondered how effective it would be against someone of his level. Would it just affect a part of their body, or would it go as far as to burn their bodies on the spot. Thinking about this, he knew that he and the others will have to decide on something before the east finally teaches where they are.Arriving at what looked like a waterfall, the three students jumped down, not caring about how far down the water current led. Descending down, they all looked up, only to see the

It hurts by either covering itself with sand, waiting for prey to pass by before clasping onto it with its razor sharp, powerful pincers, then injecting it with its venom to kill it off and to make the prey easier to consume by liquefying its inside then sucking it dry.

    After sharing the Mana potions just fully amongst themselves, they didn't want for someone to tell them to gulp them down. Upon taking the potions, not only could they feel this Mana being replenished, they could feel their bodies becoming stronger than they usually would be. Checking the system, Kayden had seen that his Mana holding capacity had risen by one thousand after drinking all the potions he had earned.Almost immediately after, their surrounding environment began to change. The strange scenery was quickly replaced by the large, mostly empty room called the Arena. The instructor then came back out to meet with her students. Upon seeing the look on their faces, it was clear that they were proud of their accomplishments. "Our class for today is over. Congratulations, you managed to survive this time and make it yo the Mana potions in the end. However, today's practical class will be the easiest you will ever experience here. Remember that. Now, get going. You shouldn't keep t

    Kayden made sure to take full advantage of the injury he had inflicted to further deliver a flurry of kicks and punches to both the stomach and the gut. The female student coughed out blood as her body arched forward, her eyes wide open due to the severe agony she was experiencing. Not wanting to further her punishment, he grabbed her by the throat, before tossing her battered body aside and focusing on another student charging towards him.This student had a Fire Class ability, one that allowed him to create lightning, although she seemed more in control of her ability, unlike the other people Kayden had seen in the past using such an ability. It was rumoured to be the strongest Fire Class ability, so Kayden braced himself before dodging a strike which was quickly sent from the palm of his new opponent."You won't steal this opportunity from me!" she yelled, her eyes wide like a madman as she quickly blitzed towards Kayden, using her lightning to speed up her movements. Kayden was ba

    'That brat!' Henry yelled internally, his eyes wide open in shock. He and the other second year students we're shocked to see just what this first year student had done. The second year student who he was fighting looked livid as she screamed out in rage, causing the others to stop their fights to see what was going on.Kayden was still out of control as he swiped his claws in all sorts of directions. The student tried using the sword to deflect the attacks. It wasn't until he had slipped up, that she used the opportunity to stab him in the chest once again. This time, it seemed to have had more of an effect on him, as his movements began to grow sluggish.Zain, who had previously been knocked out, seemed to be coming to, as he had raised his head slightly from the floor, seeing Kayden in such a frenzied state. 'What's... What's wrong with him?' he thought, but not long after, he had lost consciousness once again, having just barely healed from his injuries and overexerting himself.

    A Growing Power

    Fighting against the large centipede-like beast, Kayla was doing her best to evade its attack. Now, standing a good distance away, she activated her ability, covering both her fists in flames as her eyes glowed bright yellow.She rushed forward, delivering a punch to the centre of its body, quickly moving away before it would close its legs, attempting to slash at her skin. Observing the beast, she was waiting for another opportunity to move in to attack. Whenever she would see a chance, she would rush in and deliver a strong blow, her flames burning the area she would strike.Meanwhile, the adventurer had made quick work of the beasts that were rushing towards them. Instead of focusing on Kayla fighting against the large beast, he was more interested in the reason why so many beasts were running towards their direction.'Before these beasts came, there was a loud bang coming from the north. Maybe it's a higher grade beast, or maybe…' he began to run in the direction where the explosi

    The Urge To Kill(Part 2)

    "I like it when they run," Marcus said, a wide grin tearing through his face as he gazed upon tbe multitude of people scattering across the open road in search of safety. With screams filled with terror, the street was turned upside down as people ran across the roads, some crashing into glass windows just to get to safety.Seeing all of this unfold right before his eyes, there was a sense of excitement brewing within him.The soul that was taking over his body, seeing everyone running to safety, quickly kicked off against his feet, rushing tiwards tbe nearest person before swiping his hand, killing the man in a single strike.Quickly, he rushed towards the next person, repeating the process as he killed people after people, slowly littering the street with a pile of dead bodies.With all this chaos going on, ut wasn't long until someone had gotten in contact with the local police station, informing them lf the crises currently taking place. However, right after he had explained what

    The Urge To Kill

    Simply on her way through the strange land, searching for someone who could help her leave this strange planet, she was surprised when she stumbled across someone who went by the title of adventurer, a person who hunts down beasts for a living, using their Mana core to either earn money on the global market, or to increase one's own Mana pool by absorbing the energy contained in the Mana core.Standing in front of him, Kayla was wondering what she would say now. She wanted to use this man to help her gain more strength on this planet, and also, she was hoping if he would be her ticket to actually leaving this planet and heading back home."Are you an adventurer?" The man asked, quickly scanning the attire she was wearing. He immediately noticed that her uniform was unlike anything that an adventurer would wear while put in missions. After staring at her clothing for a while, something finally clicked in his mind."Are you a military student?!" He suddenly screamed, his eyes wide in sh

    The Lone Adventurer

    In order to restore her Mana, she would have to practice the total concentration breathing technique, the technique that would enable her body to siphon the natural Mana that was in the air all around her, transporting that Mana into her body for her to utilize her ability.After a few minutes of concentration, Kayla began to notice something strange.'This is weird. Normally, whenever I cultivate my Mana using total concentration breathing, it would take at least a whole hour for my Mana to fully restore. Depending on how injured my body was or the overall quality of Mana I would take in, it would usually take a longer time for my Mana pool to increase.'But, on this strange planet, it's like my mana is increasing at a much faster rate than it would normally back on Earth. I wonder, does this have something to do with the nature of the Mana in the air?'Regardless of what it was, she was glad that she would be able to increase her Mana holding capacity at a much faster rate on this p

    An Addiction

    "Hey! What is going on here?!" A voice yelled, as the door leading into the room swung open, and rushing in, were two academy instructors who looked to be in a state of panic after briefly witnessing the scene taking place. Quickly, one of the instructors rushed towards the student still standing, grabbing hold of his arm and twisting his body, sending him crashing towards the floor the next second.Meanwhile, the other instructor rushed towards the student who had collapsed on the floor prior to their entry. Kayden was still in his werewolf form, but the instructor knew the student's identity, since there was only one first year student with a transformation ability."I hope he will be okay," picking up the student, the man rushed out of the room with Kayden slumped over his shoulder, taking him straight to the infermary to receive medical treatment. "How on Earth did this happen? Aren't all students meant to be in class during this time?"Picking up the other student from the floor,

    Stronger First Year

    After a while of rolling non-stop on the floor, Marcus's cries for help had finally come to a halt. Staggering for a while, he eventually managed to regain his stance, standing upright and facing Kayden with a mixed expression on his face.'Why wasn't I able to tell him what was going on?' he asked himself. 'Does it have something to do with this mark?'His gaze then fell upon the red mark on his arm. For a moment, nothing seemed too out of place about it at this point, but then, after looking away, his eyes went wide in shock as he looked back at the mark on his arm.'It changed!' he hadn't noticed it before, but now, looking at it for the second time, he couldn't help but admit that there was something different about the mark, abd remembering the sizzling pain he felt when he tried to tell Kayden the truth, he had a feeling that the change of the marking had something to do with it.'The last mark was meant to keep me from betraying the second years, but this one.

    To Have An Ability

    To Have An AbilityRunning through the hallway, Kayden couldn't help but admit that whatever was going on in the academy was strange. For one, everyone's memories had been changed, and after the system had confirmed that Marcus was the one responsible for it, he still wondered why he would go ahead and do such a thing.And also, how he was even strong enough to do something like that.The yellow scent in the air led him towards the abilities class. Swinging the door open, his eyes immediately locked on to Marcus. Without giving him time to react, he rushed forward, raising his hand to deliver a strike right to his face. Opening his eyes, Marcus was able to see the attack just in time as he moved to the side, avoiding the strike completely."Kayden! Wait! I've done it! I've changed everyone's memories back to normal!" Not knowing why Kayden had suddenly arrived and decided to attack him, Marcus couldn't think of anything else to say. However, now that he thought about it more, Kayden

    Borrowed Power

    One of the skills he had unlocked from completing a quest from not too long ago. It happened during the time of the inter-student competition, when a rogue Shale had crashed into the arena and started attacking everything in sight. The quest stated that he simply had to survive the encounter, and after doing just that, he had unlocked this skill.As easy as that quest was for him to complete, he now had a skill that would allow him track down just where Marcus was.'Still, I wonder, is all of this really his doing? Did he just decide one day that he would turn against us? But why?' his mind then drifted back to the first time he had attended the abilities class. He remembered when he first heard of Marcus's ability. At the time, he wondered why the academy would let someone with such a dangerous ability be a part of the classes.Following the yellow scent, he ran through multiple hallways. The closer he got, the stronger the scent and the yellow mist would get. After a while of runnin
