Henry unleashed a giant flame wall. The impact landed, and the force was far greater than what Henry expected. The force pushed him backwards slowly, but he refused to give up.Henry screamed as he adds more power to the flame wall, but it was useless because the attack was water, and the wall kept losing it flame.The battle wasn't about blocking the attack, but how long Henry could keep the wall.Henry drops to one knee, with every seconds that passes, the attack grows stronger, and the flame wall reaches it quench zone.“Aaaaaaaahhhhh”Henry's hands were starting to shake, he couldn't hold on any longer, but he can't give up either.“The punisher wins”The countdown finally stopped. The punisher seized his attack, and Henry falls on his knees. His breath was heavy, he almost passed out. He was lucky the punisher stopped his attack, he would've been done for.Henry gazed at him.“How dare you try to harm an innocent girl. How shameless are you”The punisher stared at Henry, he glanc
He needs to be faster, if he must stand a chance against the punisher. His attack won't be effective, but if he can move faster and deliver countless surprised attacks, then he can win the match.Henry knows how important winning the match means, he wants Lora to walk before her birthday, and the competition will make that wish come true.He would've love to continue with his ranking drills, but the punisher is an A rank mage, entering B rank won't do him any good and besides, he won't be able to reach B rank, the final is already at the corner, he rather not waste his time on the ranking drills, he should advance his physical skills to the next level.“Host wants to advance his physical skills”[Dream Space changing to fit exercise][Dream Space changed]An endless stair going upward appeared in front of Henry, he doesn't know whether the physical skills drill are the hardest or not, but something always tells him to back away whenever he wants to try.Henry takes one step forward. H
Henry's voice was followed with laughter, they couldn't believe his words, he talks like he doesn't know his rank, imagine if a C rank mage could fail the test, what then can be said for an E rank mage. Henry is doomed to fail. Jaxon hates his behavior, he didn't want Henry to disgrace his class at the test, so he wanted to make things easy for him, but it seems the kid is senseless, how about he tries it himself, maybe then he will know he shouldn't even be here.“Let us go inside now”They entered the warehouse and the rest classes were inside, Henry remembers some faces, especially those bullies, they made some eye contact but none dare to mutter anything.“Okay, I believe we all understand the rules and the grading system of the test, as always, anybody who passes forty minutes, even if it's seconds, will be eliminated and forced to quit the academy”The head teacher, Sir Logan continues.“I will call your name, and you will step forward to complete the assessment. The first on m
Helen froze, she couldn't believe she failed the drills, which means she is going to be forced to leave the academy, her heart vibrates with fear.Nobody is going to support her, her family would've been able to help her, but they won't want to be biased. What a big humiliation this will be.“Sir, are you sure the timer is correct”Sir Logan moved out of the way showing the big stopwatch on the table.Everybody burst out laughing immediately, they couldn't believe a B rank mage failed the assessment drills, when all the C rank mage passed.“What a weakling, no wonder she is dating this moron”“I thought she was from the prestigious Lane family, how come she is this weak, I knew she was pretending to be one of them”“Not everybody can become a mage, especially the likes that can't control their magic. So weak”Helen looks around watching everybody laughing from different corners, they all points their fingers at her, her tears slowly gathered in her eyes, she wanted to run away when so
Everybody's heart skipped hearing the machine's words, they purposely turned on the machine so they could get a good laughter once Henry finished, but it turned out to be the wrong idea.How can an E rank mage finish in just five minutes, the sound of that, make their body quiver with fear, even Sir Logan was frightened.“Sir Logan, is something wrong”Master Jaxon and the rest teacher face him, hoping for him to explain what just happened.Everybody eyes were on him, and he doesn't know what to say, never in his life has he seen somebody this experience in physical skills.“He….”Henry appeared in the room, in a blink of an eye, he was standing in the middle of the room, everybody face him with shock, and fear written all over their faces.“Like I said. I will complete this assessment in five minutes. You heard the machine. I am the record holder now”Henry words were irritating, but they dare not move their lips.“Where did you learn that skills from. Such skills take practice and d
Helen stands up and head to the door. She doesn't want to prolong the topic, and she knows who told them, it's better she doesn't do anything.Henry watch Helen leave, he knows it must be hard on her, being born in a family where everybody awakened A rank, only to be a B rank mage, and the worst of them all, not being able to use the family hereditary power. He wonders if the family treats her well, Henry wanted to leave when the boys voice out again.“I can't believe she is dating this moron, she is supposed to be sticking with people that can help her, not with a weakling like her”the other guy chuckled and uttered.“Maybe she has decided to get married, she is doing a farewell meal with her boyfriend”Helen stopped walking, her fist hardened, she can't stand these people anymore, but she knows she can't challenge them, it will only get worse, and she will get in trouble if her brother finds out.Henry's fist tightened, it seems these people were paid to mock Helen, even if they k
The boys shivered hearing master Waylon's words, they couldn't believe he gave them such an impossible task to complete, how can they run one thousand miles without stopping, even though they are mages, it will still take them three days to complete, the lowest it could take them will be two days.How can they run for two days without stopping.They looked at master Waylon, his face was deadly, so they dare not voice out their initial words.“Thank you master Waylon, we will never break the rules again”With their shaking legs they put on their armband, and started moving.Waylon's eyes were on Henry, he doesn't seem to show any concern about the punishment he has given, instead he was feeling a presence of joy from him.He still wonders how he managed to take down these C rank mages.“Like I said, there is no stopping, I don't care if you have classes, you must complete my drills before you can attend them”He believes Henry is trying to play smart, thinking the class teacher will co
Jacob burst out immediately, he can't believe Henry's words, he wonders if he was on the Desk family side or the Andres family, maybe the Andres family promised him a hefty sum of money, so he doesn't want to lose it.“Andres, you heard the kid, I will definitely agree if you give the word”Andres stares at Henry with shock written on his face, he couldn't believe the E rank mage was a big talker, how can he challenge master Jacob, the guardian of the Desk family, the kid is definitely drunk, he can't agree to something like that.“Master Jacob—”“Trust me uncle. I will catch this rock before it lands”Peter stepped forward to Henry, he had seen Henry in action, he is good at physical skills, even better than Leo Hunter, the teachers didn't want to praise him, that is why they came up with a lame excuse, and Sir Logan talking about anybody can use physical skills which is not true.“Henry, are you certain, you can catch it”Henry cracked his fingers.“I will catch it”Peter nods agree
