A strange feeling overtook Harith. He felt as if the entirety of his body was being scanned by a strange gaze. Looking over the direction of the particular hooded figure guarded by some angry looking guards. Although that could be ignored, the main thing to focus on was the fucking thing he'd just done. Elder Jang sighed. There was nothing he could do as soon as Harith entered the Circle, even if he didn't want Harith to participate there was nothing much he could do now. Elder Jang scanned the crowd, he could risk any more weak student entering the circle. He set his eyes on a particular girl and pointed to her. "Me?" Cho cheong muttered as she walked forward. "Hmmm, join them" Elder Jang said. Cho cheong was the only girl out of his students that was on par with most of the boys, she was even stronger than most of them. And he had also noticed she was very close with Harith, cooperation worked best in the circle so it was best to let the two enter tog
"This is bad" Rose muttered. They were short of one person now, that meant the Raging flames sect had the advantage and had also gained three points. It wasn't much but it was still something.As Rachel had been distracted by her teammate being knocked out so early Cho cheong seized the opportunity. From under the cover of her shield she swung her flail, it's head extending and wrapping around Rachel. She then yanked it, pulling Rachel from high up back to the floor.As soon as Rachel was close enough Cho cheong swiped with her shield, sending Rachel to the side.The crowd Cheered seeing Cho cheong's performance. They had just eliminated one enemy and things were looking good.Hao Feng and Lee min didn't wait to be picked by any opponents, instead they took the initiative and went after the rest. Instead of picking one each, the both of them pick one and jumped her together.Alice spun her scythe around in a circular motion generating a torrent of wind that pushed the two brothers bac
Once again Rose became appalled. "W... what was that just now?" She asked as she looked over to Elder Jang, her eyes looking terribly close to that of a terrified human. "A...a fighter mage?!" She said with bewilderment.Although mages were rare, there was still a select part of the mages that were even rarer. They were called the fighter mages, the most terrifying in the line of naturally brown affinities. These people had extreme affinity for both long range spells and were very good at close combat spells compared to the other mages, they could even be mistaken fro fighters when performing close combat spells. These people had little to no weakness apart from the fact that they could tank much damage but their close range and long range abilities made them a terror when facing anyone."Eh? I thought mages were supposed to be good in close range? How then did he pull that off?!" "I'm surprised as well" Naturally the crowd reacted to the incident. Most of them weren't aware of fight
"Move!" Cho cheong screamed and jumped, hitting Harith with her shoulder and promptly getting him out of the way. *Slice!* The subtle sound of flesh tearing was giving off. "Ayo! was she planning to kill him or something?" "Did you come here to kill our students huh!" One man screamed from within the crowd. His words brought about the increased voice of the other. Alice's scythe had come to close to hitting Harith's head, a wound like that could prove fatal or even permanently paralyze him for life. Rose ignored the voices of the crowd and just kept on watching the match. The looks of the guards following the Great water serpent Sect were enough to stop the incessant voices. "Are you ok?" Cho cheong asked as she struggled to stand up. "Y...yeah, thanks" Harith answered with a racing heart. He had seen his life flash before his eyes in that moment but luckily Cho cheong came to his aid. His back still had a pool of blood on it but he tried his b
*Bang* Min jun tried to stop the Great water Serpent students from continuing the blood arts but it proved futile. Judith held up an artifact that seemed to generate a forcefield around the students. Even Konrad's tentacles and Hammer were useless against it. "Careful, the blood arts lasts for only two minutes. Endure till then and you'll win the royale" Elder Jang shouted for his students to hear. Since rose had talked to her students first he was free to do the same without any consequences. "Everyone form a wall around Konrad" Min jun sighed and said to the others. Being the oldest out of them and the most calm he had silently taken up the position of the leader of the squad. Since they couldn't stop the blood art they could only take up a defensive strategy. The forcefield generated was from a high grade artifact Judith held so it was enough to last till the blood arts was prepared. This time in turn gave the Raging flames sect students time to prepare a defensive st
"We won yeah!!!!" As soon as elder Jang confirmed their suspicions the students let out a roar of joy. They had done the impossible. They beat the feared Great water serpent sect students with nothing but just two eliminations, one of which could even be debated on."I did it...."Harith muttered. As he watched the crowd turn in an uproar his vision slowly faded and he lost consciousness.Immediately the others noticed they stopped their celebration and rushed to help. Harith's back was very bloody, he should have lost at least a gallon of blood due to the injury, it was a bad situation.....A slow humming sound awoke Harith. A weird feeling spread in his throat and when he tried to speak it felt like something was holding his voice back.As he looked around he realized he couldn't see much of anything, infact the whole area was shrouded in darkness.The peculiar situation left Harith feeling curious, he didn't know how he landed here but he was curious. Something seemed to beckon to h
As soon as Harith stepped out of the building He had a voice call."Jinwu!" Harith's mother shouted as she ran over and hugged Harith with a smile on her face.Harith was taken by surprise but even to his surprise he felt very happy to see her."Oh my little boy" She wept as she checked all over Harith's body for any signs of injuries."I'm fine" Harith chuckled. He felt genuinely happy to see her and was awkward like before."Look at your face " She said while she caressed Harith's face. Some bruises were still a bit visible but overall they weren't too bad. The medicine in this world was phenomenal, able to make life threatening injuries disappear in a few days with just a pill, a few cuts and bruises were small in comparison."You haven't eaten right? Come I'll make you something" Harith mom said as lead the way while holding his hand."Hmm" Harith nodded and let himself to be led, he could use this as his moment of rest after the madness these few days.As they walked Harith would
As soon as Cho cheong brought out the object from her purse Harith's mind calmed down and he looked at Cho cheong. Cho cheong laughed and handed the Bottle over to him "Don't lose it again" She said as she closed his fist. "Why are you giving it to me?" Harith asked. He had never really gotten a concrete answer from Cho cheong as to why she wanted to give him the dew of Life instead of taking it for herself, it was her birthright so why who she hand it over to him. "You were the one who protected it, you were hurt because of it even. I'll feel guilty if I just take it after everything". Cho cheong said as she bit her lips. Harith stared at her, reading her expression for a while before thinking up an answer. "That spell..." Harith said "That spell you performed back then" "What spell?" Cho cheong asked confused at his question. "Your shield and weapon spell, I want you to teach me" "Teach you?" "Yes instead of giving me this, why don't you teach me the spell as a form of repay
