"Yuta Casseraal from the Elite Class will fight Gia from the Legends Class in a training match," Bao Xin Yi's voice was calm as she looked towards Yuta and Gia, who were heading towards the arena in the center of the training base. However, the murmurs didn't subside at all; in fact, they grew louder.
"So, Yuta being chosen from the Elite Class to fight Gia Guilford will be a truly epic battle."
"Yuta will most likely win; he's clearly stronger."
"Have you forgotten? Gia is one of the top 10 talents in Central Continent right now, ranking fourth among the most talented after Beatrice and Zihan Yiyu from the Pearl of Purity Sect, Tien Shinhan from the Frederick Renlyck Clan, and Beatrice Azwasen. There will definitely be a chance of a win or a draw."
"But Yuta hasn't shown his full potential yet. He's only been using sword skills and techniques with This also applies to Jia; she hasn't used any of her aura or chi abilities yet, and it applies to members of prominent families.
"Yuta Casseraal defeated Jia Guilford and demonstrated the strength of an elite class!" Humming and cheering students from all years filled the space, as students from other classes wanted to see the two strongest first-year students fight, and indeed, the strongest in the academy. Among those present were the student council presidents, Ting Ling Yi, Yuxiao Yi, and Zichuan Yu from the second year; Melanie Hentri, Kinsley Twarren, and Forrest Selbranac from the third year; and Yi Fan, Ziming Tao, and Frederick Renlyck from the fourth year.
Their expressions were a mixture of calmness, indifference, arrogance, admiration, and interest—something no one would want if there were animosity involved. Yet, none of them said a word, simply watching Yuta and Jia, who stood in the center of the fighting ring.
"This will be This is just a friendly match, so finishing moves, using killer abilities, and inflicting serious injuries on an opponent are prohibited. Kaito's voice was calm as he recited the rules of the friendly match to Yuta and Gia. Their calm expressions surprised everyone, as they sensed something was off. Yuta and Gia were almost identical in every way except for being from different families, in their eyes.
"We meet again, Gia Guilford," Yuta's voice was calm as he looked at Gia, who was in a fighting stance. "We meet again, Yuta Casseraal," Gia's voice was also calm as she gripped his sword hilt. Their faces were as cold as ice, unlike the shocked expressions of the students.
"How do they know each other?"
"Gia Guilford is in a relationship with Yuta Casseraal. What the hell is going on?"
"Yuta is a handsome young man every girl would want, after all, and the same goes for Gia, one of the top 5 most beautiful..." "Girls of the Academy"
The arena was ablaze with murmurs that reached the ears of both Jia and Yuta. However, they paid no attention to their words, for it is human nature to talk without doing anything, as the saying goes, "A man with a long tongue and a short hand." If tongues could sing, a dog would be the richest of creatures.
"Ready... Launch!" Bao Xin Yi's voice was calm as she signaled the start of the fight between Yuta Cassiral, the Elite Class's star, and Jia Guilford, the Legendary Class's star.
As soon as Professor Bao Xin Yi gave the signal to launch, both Yuta and Jia took 23 steps back before heading in opposite directions, maintaining a safe distance to avoid any dangerous attack.
Jia had moved five steps to the right before unleashing an aura around her body, forming an unbreakable shield between them. She unleashed a violet-colored ki aura around her body as she looked towards Yuta, who had moved six steps to the left.
"What is Yuta Cassiral planning?" she thought to herself in a calm voice, releasing an aura from her energy-governing sword, which was pure white.
She then shot towards Yuta at great speed, but he easily dodged, launching an attack towards her waist that caused her to succumb.
Jia turned his gaze to Yuta, who was looking back at her.
"A direct attack won't work. I'll get hurt and lose the fight due to blood loss," Jia thought to herself in a calm voice. As an elite, she was able to create a mental field in which to fight before engaging in real life, thus avoiding any danger. However, this mental field required a stable, realistic mind to prevent it from winning.
Jia lowered her sword slightly before launching a wind blade attack towards Yuta, who was only 23 paces away.
The crescent-shaped wind blades moved smoothly, cutting through the air and creating a soft hissing sound. Yet, Yuta's expression remained calm as he blocked the attack with a counterattack of the same type. Element
Five storms of wind were unleashed. Upon their collision, powerful gusts of wind were released, causing spectators to take three steps back.
Wow, it hasn't even been five minutes since the fight began. They're already showing off their abilities. Beautiful. The second-year student, Yuxiao Yi, had a calm, charming, and captivating tone. However, there was a slight spark of malice in her eyes as she turned her gaze to Tingling Yi and Zichuan Yu, her rivals among the second-year students. Even though Melanie Hentri, Kingsley Twarren, and Forrest Silbranac from the third year, and Yi Fan, Ziming Tao, and Frederick Renlyck from the fourth year were more dangerous due to their talent, high experience, strength, and frightening intelligence, Yi Fan, Ziming Tao, and Frederick Renlyck were in their final year at the academy and only had a few months left before they left, leaving Tingling Yi as the only remaining rival. Zichuan Yu, Melanie Hunter, Kingsley Twarn, and Forrest Silbranac were the only ones present, but she sensed something strange. Her intuition told her that Yuta was more dangerous than all of them, and that's what made her come to watch his fight. But she hadn't expected to encounter her rivals.
"So, what are you thinking, Xiao Yi? It seems Yuta Casseraal has caught your attention too." Ting Ling Yi's voice was calm as he glanced at Xiao Yi out of the corner of his eye. However, he didn't bother to hear her reply, as he was certain she wouldn't answer.
Meanwhile, Yuta was advancing towards Jia, launching an attack that sent her back thirty steps. Yet, she didn't suffer a scratch because...She blocked an attack with her sword, and with the strengthening of her ki, aura, and protective magic, her defense was incredibly strong. Yet, she felt a great power boiling inside her like a fire in a furnace, and her strength didn't diminish in the slightest.
"My power is rising rapidly. I'm currently on the verge of breaking through to the Sacred Ruler rank. Something is wrong," Jia thought to herself before attacking Yuta with a ball of energy, but he brilliantly blocked the attack.
Despite this, Jia's expression didn't change, as she had already anticipated this outcome. Yuta wasn't an ordinary opponent; he was, after all, one of the rising elite.
After a fraction of a second, a deep sigh escaped Jia's lips before she closed her eyes. Her power began to fade little by little until it disappeared completely. No one could sense her power except for the student council presidents, the elite Kaito class instructor, Bao Xin Yi (the Legendary class instructor), and Yuta's companions. They alone could feel her power multiplying within the mana core and gates. Three and the core of her own Datean Root
They turned their gaze towards Yuta to study and analyze his next move. They wondered if he would exploit Jia's weakness, since a user of Kono at a certain rank would only swim at a very weak, human-level level for a few minutes—a sign of a rank breakthrough. Yet, Yuta remained unmoved, his expression calm and a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at Jia.
"It seems the transmission is working well, even with a sub-average size," Yuta thought to himself, his voice filled with satisfaction.
After several minutes, a wave of light purple wind, carried by Jia's aura, sent rocks flying into the air, only to evaporate.
Her eyes glowed with a light purple light, while strands of her black hair billowed in the air.
A wave of murmurs erupted from the students, a mixture of astonishment, shock, and admiration.
"She has reached the pinnacle of the Rulers' Realms and is beginning to build her path to the Transcendental Realm." "At only 15, Jia Guilford is truly a terrifying talent."
"It seems she'll become one of the most talented students after the Student Council. Ting Ling Yi, Yuxiao Yi, and Zichuan Yu from the second year were Junior Governors; Melanie Huntary, Kingsley Twarn, and Forrest Silbranac from the third year reached Junior Expert Governor; and Yi Fan, Ziming Tao, and Frederick Renlick from the fourth year reached Senior Governor."
The Student Council faction was among the most talented students, considered the core of the academy. Each one was an elite of the elite. Furthermore, they were granted the right to study secret books, train in special training halls, and receive training potions that the academy usually provided to students. However, members of the Student Council were an exception.
"Will he really beat Yuta Cassiral? Currently, Jia has become the strongest faction. The ranks are incredibly vast; the difference between them is like the difference between heaven and earth."
"It seems that the fight A dangerous turning point has arrived. A clash between the rising elite will unfold. How will this fight end?
"Yuta... Yuta, I don't know, but I know who you are. I know it sounds strange, but remember my words: I will win." Jiah's voice was calm, filled with confidence and determination. He vanished without even waiting for Yuta's reply.
Yuta's cool smile remained, however, as he easily blocked Jiah's attack, muttering in a barely audible whisper:
"Remember who you are. Sometimes hearts are drawn together, sometimes forms are human, and they are called soulmates. But what if it's something deeper than mere birth or love?" Yuta's voice remained calm as he deflected Jiah's attack. A look of confusion crossed Jiah's face as she backed away from him by fifteen paces.
"He is incredibly strong, even though I am a Sacred Ruler." Jiah's voice was a mixture of astonishment, surprise, and bewilderment, yet her own strength was also increasing significantly.
A deep sigh escaped Yuta's lips before a dark purple aura began to emanate from his body.
He closed his eyes as ethereal vapor escaped his mouth while he gazed at Gia.
Yuta's voice was calm and cold as he looked at Gia, an ancient silver thread emanating from his violet eyes. He moved toward her with slow speed until the world seemed to stir.
As Yuta moved toward Gia, he felt a great power emanating from her. A faint smile appeared on his face as he looked at Gia, around whom the world began to crack, shattering and stopping before returning to its previous state.
However, Gia's form was different. Her hair was a dark purple, and behind her back was a giant disc bearing the emblem of a beautiful woman wearing a black veil that covered her face. She clasped her hands as if in prayer.
The expressions on everyone's faces shifted to a mixture of shock, surprise, and concern. Gia's current power level had... He surpassed the rank of Lord of Gods after using the blessing of a mysterious entity.
"What in the name of hell is happening? It seems the fight has reached its peak. Jia's strength is equal to that of a Holy Ruler-rank fighter."
"Yuta is in danger. Jia's power level has become monstrous. How will he win?"
"He will lose. No matter how talented one is, you will remain in your position. Even student council presidents, if they fight members of families who have obtained that blessing, will lose or draw."
"It seems a monster has bared its fangs. It seems the situation is rapidly approaching its end. It's only been about 30 minutes. Am I right, Frederick?" Yi Fan, a fourth-year student and vice president of the student council, spoke calmly as he looked at Frederick, whose expression was a mixture of calm, admiration, and interest in both Jia Guilford and Yuta Cassiral.
"Yi Fan is right. The fight has reached its peak, it seems. Whether it ends in a draw or a loss for Jia Guilford is ultimately up to Lady Bao Xin Yi." Frederick's voice was calm as he looked at both Kaito Ishikawa and Bao Shin-yi.
When the two instructors had finished their classes, Bao Shin-yi's expression was as sharp as a sword's blade, bearing the intent to stop a fight. However, Kaito stopped her.
"Master Bao Shin-yi, please stop. Nothing will happen to Yuta. I know my student well." Kaito Ishikawa's calm tone made Bao Shin-yi, who had wanted to argue with him, fall silent.
His expressionKaito Ishikawa's face was filled with confidence that nothing would happen to Yuta.
"Your confidence is well-placed, so we don't lose another student after all these years," Bao Xin Yi's tone was calm, tinged with sarcasm.
A faint smile appeared on Kaito Ishikawa's face as he glanced at Bao Xin Yi, then turned his gaze back to the arena.
In the arena, Geeja launched a powerful attack at Yuta, who dodged it and moved swiftly to his left before unleashing a barrage of energy balls of varying intensity.
Boom... Boom... Boom
Boom... Boom... Boom
Explosions erupted in the sky as Geeja deflected Yuta's attacks before they reached him. A faint smile appeared on his face as he drew his sword, a sword of absolute power, and launched a powerful attack at Geeja, who felt her life in danger. After all, Yuta and his sword were stronger than the rulers of the world—or rather, the rulers of the world. The Supremes, therefore, it made sense that Gea would lose, even if he was one of the greatest talents. Yuta was stronger than the Supreme Rulers of this fantasy world.
Gea clenched his teeth as he looked at Yuta, whose hair had turned pale white and whose eyes were bloodshot after wielding the sword.
"It seems you're capable of a fairly good transformation, Yuta Kaseral, but you'll have a hard time defeating me," Gea's voice was calm as she looked at Yuta and unleashed several sword strokes, sending crescent-shaped arcs of light purple into the air.
BOOM... BOOM!
After several explosions, Yuta emerged unscathed, thanks to the aura shield that surrounded his body. He then launched a powerful attack in the form of fireballs.
The fireballs appeared chaotic as they hurtled towards Gea.
"So it seems he's starting to attack in turn," Gea's voice was calm as she dodged and deflected. Those fireballs were easy to unleash, yet she sensed something was amiss.
Her power was increasing significantly compared to an hour ago, and this filled her with apprehension. The unknown power is more dangerous than any enemy, even one that appears helpful. Nothing in this world is free, and her rapid power increase was a prime example.
Yuta launched a direct attack, giving Gea no chance to react.
Geba's expression shifted to slight surprise before she barely managed to parry Yuta's assault.
"It seems you can anticipate and counter my attacks. You're truly gifted, Gea," Yuta's voice was calm, devoid of any praise, simply stating facts. Gea, however, was uninterested in his compliments.
She amplified her sword with fire and aura, unleashing a powerful explosion that shook the entire training ground.
Amidst the dust that filled the arena, two purple hybrids emerged: one cold and sharp, the other sharp but lighter.
"In a world founded on a curse, its fate is destruction." The origin is non-existence, life like a green leaf that withers, dries, crumbles, and disappears completely from the existence of the Great Outcast, the creator of this world. A complete novel and a world of imagination, this one whose size equals that of Marvel or DC, is merely a tiny dot. It seems that the writer and creator has overstepped his bounds. Today I am a pen, tomorrow I am not. Nevertheless, I will remain standing with a will of flint and a determination of steel. Nothing is impossible. I will achieve my goals even if the price is my own life. I am the master of the ruler's path, the greatest creator, Yuto." Yuto's voice was calm as he looked towards Jia, who was looking back at him with a calm expression. As for the spectators, they heard nothing, even though Yuto did not use any sound-blocking spell. No sound reached their ears, as if existence did not dare to convey more than what was said.
Before either Yuto or Jia could make a move, the calm voice of Bao Shen Yi's instructor rang out, ending the fight.
"The training round between Yuto Cassiral and Jia Guilford ended with both losing because Jia used a special blessing." With her family, and Yuta using his assassin move, which is against the rules of the friendly match," Bao Xin Yi's voice was calm as she looked at Yuta and Jia with a mixture of admiration and anger.
Yuta and Jia stepped down from the ring, ignoring the chatter of the students who had watched the fight as if they were nothing more than annoying flies.
"No, why was it such an enjoyable fight? It lasted an hour and a half, yet it was epic."
"Yuta Cassell is terrifying. Even with the mysterious entity's blessing, he was equal in strength."
"It seems that next year, Jia and Yuta will be the student council presidents instead of Yi Fan, Ziming Tao, and Frederick Renlyck, since it's their final year. However, if they stay, there will be a brutal war."
"Yuta is extremely dangerous. Moreover, next year we will be demoted to second year, and we will have to repeat three years." Ziming Tao's voice was calm as a forest-green glow emerged. From his eyes as he looked towards Yuta, who was getting off the track:
"It seems he had a hand in getting us sent back to second year. Director Soliver wants to get rid of us by any means necessary. He certainly won't extend our stay for another three years. Also, I heard that several students were expelled from an elite class—three of them—for tampering with the lecture hall records. Strangely, they're in the same class as Yuta Cassiral. So my hunch is correct; he's involved. This means one thing: we're going to face a very dangerous monster." Frederick's voice was filled with suspicion and caution regarding Yuta as he left the training base.
"Yuta… Yuta… Yuta," Gia repeated Yuta's name several times, her tone varying each time from icy cold to calm to warm. She didn't have a single ounce of love for Yuta, yet she felt an affinity for him and a desire to be near him for a reason she couldn't fathom.
She felt a strong urge, but she didn't know what it was. It wasn't close to any logical human feelings or desires.
However, she was certain One thing is that time will show her everything.
