There were very few who would be able to recognize the type of magic Piba was using. Unless they had witnessed it firsthand or Piba had told them outright, it remained a mystery.
But Raze, having lived the long life he had as a professor, had seen it before. In fact, he had seen it several tis.
’Raze still hasn’t given the thumbs up. Does that an I need to show even more of my powers?’ Da thought anxiously.
Rather than focusing on what his opponent had just done, Da’s mind was still fixed on one thing, getting through.
After all, not for a second did he believe he would actually lose the fight, not if he used everything he had.
Piba, however, had different plans. The glow surrounding his body continued to shimr, and then, with a swift motion, he started swinging his hands outward.
It was a move wind mages often used, sending wind slashes cutting through the air. But just like the glow enveloping Piba, these slashes glead brightly as they raced toward Da.
Seeing this, Da quickly responded. He fired flas from his gloves to intercept the attack.
But as the fire struck Piba’s enhanced wind slashes, it had no effect. The flas were extinguished instantly, and the wind attacks continued to barrel toward him.
’His attacks... they’re not stronger than mine, and I even used Qi in that strike,’ Da thought, his brow furrowed.
In a flash, Da pushed himself off the ground with a powerful kick, shifting his body to the side in one fluid motion, making it appear as if he was using wind magic himself.
He successfully dodged two of the strikes. But then, two more ca at him from both sides. It was too late to avoid them, not without drawing suspicion.
"Arghhh, I’ll just have to grab them!" Da thought, determination flashing in his eyes.
Igniting his gloves once more, this ti the flas fully surrounded his hands. With a surge of Qi, Da reached out and grabbed the two sharp wind attacks.
The intense heat from his gloves burned through the wind-enhanced strikes until they finally shattered, disintegrating into nothing.
"Oh, he must have quite the intense mana to break the attack like that," Redrick remarked.
"Indeed," another professor nodded. "Especially since Piba is now using his special affinity, Moon Magic."
Many of the students still watching had no idea what was happening, even after seeing the strange magic. They whispered among themselves, trying to guess what kind of power this truly was.
"Do you know what his affinity is, Raze?" Chiba asked eagerly, as if ready to explain everything herself. Finally, she thought, there was sothing she might know that he didn’t.
"Yes. That’s Moon Magic," Raze replied calmly. "It’s a special affinity, though it happens to be one of the most common among them. Because of that, there’s quite a lot of research that’s been done on it.
"Moon Magic is an enhancer. You see, combining magic between different elents is often dangerous. If the ratio isn’t right or the combination is unstable, it can lead to disastrous consequences for the mage.
"Even testing such things is a dangerous ga. But if soone manages to succeed, the resulting spells can beco incredibly powerful.
"However, there’s an exception to this rule, and that’s Moon Magic. It’s an affinity that mixes naturally with any type of magic, enhancing its strength significantly.
"It grants each elent an additional boost in power. That’s why mages with Moon Magic often beco the cornerstone of their guilds. They’re seen as valuable assets and essential support.
"And more importantly, their magic can be used on other mages as well, making them highly sought after. Even spells using Moon Magic alone serve as powerful buffs."
Chiba was left with her mouth hanging open, speechless. She had been fully prepared to explain this to the others, but Raze had already said it all. Worse, he’d even explained more than she had intended to.
Once again, she’d learned sothing new from him.
"That’s right, that’s right!" Chiba said quickly, trying to recover. "And with it, it looks like your friend will finally lose this match."
The strength of Moon Magic was clear. Piba had demonstrated it with both a simple wind spell and a defensive spell.
What had surprised the teachers, though, was Da’s ability to break an enhanced attack.
Da, on the other hand, still had one more card up his sleeve.
He could use his Lightning Body, activate the power of the gauntlets to channel Simyon’s old ability.
With that, he was sure it would be enough to impress. Just as he was preparing to do it, Da caught sight of Raze giving a small thumbs-up, before quickly lowering his hand.
A barrage of Moon-enhanced attacks was now heading straight toward Da.
This ti, Da activated his special gloves again, but he chose not to use Qi.
The attacks collided with his body, and in the next mont, he stomped the ground hard, kicking up a thick dust storm to block the others’ view.
When the dust finally began to settle, Da was lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
"Ow... ow. I’m really hurt," Da groaned, clutching his shoulder.
He had a few visible cuts on his body, but compared to the wounds he’d endured as a Pagna warrior, this was nothing.
"The match has co to an end!" Panla declared. "With that, all students have participated in the first stage of the selection process for the Cultural Exchange! Please wait as we announce those who will be moving on to the second stage!"
Later, when Da returned, he received so real healing, along with a bit of fake healing from Safa, just to make it seem like he had taken more damage than he actually had.
Chiba and Yolden were gleefully gloating that one of their own had finally won, but Da didn’t care.
Finally, the results were posted, and just as expected. The five top students and the five transfer students had advanced to the next stage of the assessnt.
They would soon be entering another dinsion.
