ZZZHM!
A huge flash of light erupted at Lucian’s position, causing many in the crowd to cover their eyes as their retinas stung, but even so, they tried their best to keep their eyes open so that they wouldn’t miss the outco.
The light cleared and revealed Kaizer still in his defensive position while Lucian was a few ters behind him, his previously sheathed sword now fully drawn in a slashing motion.
Both young n stood frozen in place as the wind blew and the dust settled, causing the crowd to tensely wonder who had co out on top.
Kaizer was the first to move, sighing audibly as he stood up, glancing at his beaten shield which began to crack and slowly broke off, dispersing into blue motes of light. Likewise, his jian construct also shattered and turned into light spots that drifted away.
"That has to be the strongest goddamn iai slash in the entire world. What was that, the speed of light?" Kaizer asked as he glanced upwards with a sad expression towards his shattered constructs.
Lucian, who was still in his posture, finally moved as his body twitched and his mouth spoke coldly. "Near the speed of light. The actual speed of light would have vaporized ."
Kaizer nodded and turned. "Not bad, you do have sothing special about you. But your ti is up, go down."
As soon as Kaizer said this, a huge spurt of blood erupted from Lucian’s chest, shocking the crowd and the dics by the side as this was the first ti blood had been spilled in the entire tournant.
This caused a small-scale panic as dics rushed down to tend to Lucian, but the foremost among them was a pompously dressed middle-aged man with combed hair that was parted down the middle, a mustache that was neatly trimd, and a short goatee that was razor-perfect.
He wore a tweed suit with stripes, his face full of seriousness as he glanced at Lucian, kneeling down to touch his neck to check for a pulse.
"He’s alive," the man said, turning to the nearby dics who sighed with relief.
"Well, what are you lot waiting for? Get down there and revive my student!" The man barked, revealing himself to be Tavion Hunt, Lucian’s chosen ntor.
While the dics scrambled to carry out his order, Tavion turned his gaze towards Kaizer who was not even looking at his defeated foe, rather glancing towards Tessa, his next opponent.
Tavion felt irritated by this and folded his arms behind his back. "Such a cruel nature and disposition, I doubt whether the esper world could be peaceful if such a person were to beco the strongest."
Kaizer glanced at Tavion slightly and then turned away, not interested in such a person. However, just because Kaizer did not care did not an that others wouldn’t.
"Who the fuck let their dog out? This fool here, do you believe I will make you run laps around this stadium naked if you don’t shut your dirty mouth?" Rina swore, coming down to stand beside Kaizer with her aura flaring.
Being so close to death itself, Tavion’s expression changed as he felt the pressure right away. However, the entire esper world was tuned in currently, so if he was scared away, he would beco a laughingstock.
He would simply have to bet on the fact that this lass did not dare!
"Hmph, young lady did no one teach you manners? How can you speak like that to an academy instructor?" Tavion shouted with righteous fury, his eyes wide with anger.
Rina though, was not here to play his ga. "I dare you to keep standing there by the ti I finish counting to five."
"Five..." She began coldly.
Tavion’s face changed. "You! How dare you!"
"Four..."
"Oh? Now this is an interesting developnt," Rafael comnted as he sat up, now drawn in to the conflict below.
"Three..."
"What a feisty little girl. I like her, she would do well in the Supre Force," Commander Rae comnted with a hint of fondness.
The other n only felt their lips twitch.
"Two..."
"She wouldn’t actually do it, right?" Carlisle asked with a hint of morbid curiosity.
"She will," Madam Sylvia and Dean Rochester said at the sa ti.
"One..."
Carlisle was stunned. "Then why not stop her before it’s too late?!"
The other instructors also looked over questioningly, only to see Madam Sylvia smiling wryly while Dean Rochester rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"...we can’t," they said simultaneously again.
"Zero...!"
Rina finished her count and imdiately unleashed a wave of death aura towards Tavion, who had been jabbering and criticizing her all this while, hoping to get her to back down. Seeing that the young woman actually dared to strike towards him, he was incredibly frightened.
He was rely an A class esper on the brink of S-, he was no match for Rina who was at S !
The gap between them was a chasm of natural talent that age nor experience could cover for. However, his pride and standing did not allow him to back down before a student, especially since his own student was S-class.
Seeing the death cloud, Tavion yelped and almost fell over himself, but his body was held in place by a stronger force, noticing that a figure had co to stand before him.
Wreathed in glowing golden fla was an older man with a rather muscular fra draped in crimson and black robes embroidered with the very fire surrounding him. His long, fiery-orange hair cascaded over his shoulders while his sharp amber eyes seed to contain the fury of the sun within.
He exuded a casual arrogance, one hand raised to stop Rina’s death cloud by unleashing his golden fla to match it while he wore a casual smile filled with endless confidence.
"Young lady, you should know when to stop. The joke is no longer funny," the old man spoke casually, scolding her as if he was her guardian.
"Huh? Which rat are you? Old man, you’d better piss off to the retirent ho lest I send you six feet under," Rina replied with furrowed brows.
The old man’s face warped into a frown as he felt Rina’s words were truly vile. No wonder this incompetent instructor was so incensed that he refused to back down when he was outmatched.
Kaizer, who had not been paying much attention, with no plans to stop Rina’s tantrum, suddenly turned and faced the old man with golden fla, obvious coldness in his eyes.
"I think that a re instructor could draw you out, Davion Faust," Kaizer said coldly as he walked over, his psychic power boiling.
The old man, now nad, was naturally puzzled as he turned to Kaizer. "You know ?"
Kaizer ca to a stop beside Rina, noting that Davion was truly able to use his strange golden fla to equalize with Rina’s death aura. Potent as it was, Rina’s death aura basically could not kill the golden fla fast enough to threaten this Davion guy.
This made Kaizer’s hostility multiply greatly.
"Of course I do, everyone here does. However, they know you by a different na. Isn’t that right, Solaris of the Ancients?" Kaizer revealed casually.
Imdiately, a shockwave of screams rippled through the crowd as emotions full of negativity far greater than Kaizer’s telepathy reveal could ever muster occurred at once. Many literally recoiled, pushed backwards and away as if this man was a snake that was about to eat them, fear on their faces.
"Oh my god, the actual Lord of the Sun!"
"Solaris?! The True Lord of the Ancients?! He’s fucking here?!"
"What are the academy doing by allowing this monster in?!"
"Mommy, save ! I won’t be a bad boy again!"
In the Supre Force Box, all the commanders stood up and imdiately ford a protective periter around President Ethan Voss, the man himself losing his casual deanor as his eyes narrowed coldly.
"The Esper Academy has truly fallen. They actually let a True Lord in during the year-end festival. This will not end well at all," Ethan Voss comnted bluntly, making the foreheads of the commanders crease.
In the Heirs Pavilion, the second generations were stunned beyond belief.
"True Lord Solaris? How the fuck did he get in?!" Rafael asked, dropping his drink.
"No, the more important question is who let him in. The academy is the ho ground of the dean, only an insider could let him break in," Alexei deducted seriously.
Davion was livid. "You’re forgetting that the dean was away for 8 whole months training that cretin! That’s more than enough ti to punch holes into the academy’s defenses!"
This...
They all shared uncertain looks and felt that this was true until Ryu Kurosawa spoke in a deep tone.
"Even if that is the case, why reveal himself now? Everyone who is soone in the esper world is here, all the Supre Force top commanders, the Dean himself and the top instructors, as well as the seven S-class students."
Ryu shook his head. "It can’t be that a True Lord of the Ancients ca here to die, right?"
