"Aww, you are sharing your mana with her, that's so cute~"
"...?"
Terez approached the blue-haired man and said happily with his unchanging indifferent expression, causing Devios to furrow his brows and look at him a bit confused.
"I an... I am, but how would you know that...?"
He asked wondering how the boy figured out that he was able to share mana in the first place, as it wasn't sothing that usually could be done.
"I've got my ways~"
Terez humd happily before turning his back on Devios and facing the arena.
"The fourth duel will be between mister Terez from the Kingdom of Bellcephora and miss Elizabeth Kingslayer from the Star Pagoda!"
The break ended and the new teacher announced the next matchup.
"...and don't worry, if she will feel sick afterward, I will heal her up after my fight."
"...?!"
Terez added, glancing back at the stunned Devios.
"Heal...? Terez...? Terez! Your attribute is light, right? Terez?!"
"...ugh..."
The blue-haired man felt extrely nervous over the choice of words of the yellow-haired boy, but with tavicero in a weakened state in his lap, he could not chase after him.
Devios didn't get the answer from the unbothered boy either.
Terez was instead interested in his opponent.
A serious-looking girl with dark-blond hair put up in a high ponytail.
While Terez's expression remained blank and impossible to read, as usual, hers was that of no bullshit all focus.
"Begin!"
The new teacher in charge seed to want the thing to start and end as fast as possible, so he didn't give the opponents ti to exchange words before starting the duel.
------
"Noex! What is Terez's attribute?! It's light, right?"
Devios called out urgently to the brown-haired boy who was cheering out his friend loudly.
"Oh? That guy? Light? No way, his attribute is..."
------
"Law of Capricorn!"
*WHOOSH*
The mont that the signal was given, Elizabeth rushed at her opponent, activating her star power while already in motion, giving herself a massive burst of speed.
Before the audience could gasp in marvel over her speed, she was already by the blank-faced boy, grabbing his hand and twisting her own body to perform a throw – aiming to fling her opponent out of the arena just as the first two duels ended like.
*SQUELCH* *SPLASH*
"!!!"
...that's why she suddenly stopped in place with her eyes widened in terror as instead of sending the seemingly much younger boy flying, she had ripped off his arm from his shoulder...!
"I... what...?"
The dark-blond girl with her face sprinkled with the young magician's blood gasped in a trembling voice slowly turning towards her opponent.
"You are so fast!"
Terez cheered out with excitent, for the first ti changing his expression while the blood from his ripped-out shoulder was spraying all over one side of the arena.
His face distorted by emotion was really sothing – conventionally beautiful but with a twist.
The unexpected part was his shark-like triangular and very sharp teeth that he never showed before, exposed in full glory for the disturbed world to see.
"It was so cool I completely forgot to use magic!"
The boy roared, pumping his hand into the air in amazent.
-----
"Healing."
Noex revealed to the speechless Devios staring at the grueso scene straight out of a horror story.
------
"Sorry for the delay. Rigor Mortis~"
Terez apologized lightheartedly keeping p the smile, and said his incantation out loud.
"We... we need to get you to the..."
Elizabeth, who was a few seconds before losing her cool and starting to panic, said in a trembling voice without being able to take her eyes off the Terez's uniform getting dyed crimson – but before she was able to say another word, the ripped off arm in her hands turned cold and struggled out of her grip...
"HGHHHNHHGHH...?!"
...and went straight for her neck, presenting a grip so powerful that it almost choked the life out of the serious girl.
*CRUNCH* *thump*
"GHH-UHUAAAAGH...!"
Elizabeth managed to break the bones of the limb trying to kill her and threw it down while gasping for air, massaging her neck with a ghastly pale face.
"Was it a bit too much? Sorry, I didn't want to scare you. Hold on. Miracle of restoration."
Terez bowed his head apologetically although his expression did not show any remorse, and cast another spell – this ti on himself.
His body beca engulfed in soft yellow light and the next mont a new bone sprouted from his wound, followed by blood vessels, the nervous system, muscles, tendons, and finally the skin and fingernails, ending up recreating the arm that he lost and that was still on the arena.
"!!!"
Elizabeth flinched and took a step back.
Regrowing of limbs was possible with the mastery of the law of Virgo, but it would take at least a few weeks if not months of constant care. And there was a big if, whether the regrown limb would be fully functional.
"Say. Magic is poison for you all, right? Does that an that my healing magic is extrely dangerous because it penetrates deeply into the cells of the body?"
Terez titled his head, making a curious expression, and asked rubbing his chin with the newly restored hand.
"I... but.. wait... no... NO! Hold on...!"
The martial artist flinched and started backing off without even realizing it while extending her hands in an attempt to keep the boy away.
In a flash, everyone forgot about the grueso duel between tavicero and Lionel as sothing far more disturbing had shown up.
"Why don't we test it?!"
"!!!"
Terez cheered and started running, Elizabeth flinched again but it beca clear that her reflexive response wasn't actually to run away, but to fight, as despite being pale as a ghost she took a step forward taking a stance.
The next mont, the yellow-haired boy jumped, throwing himself at the girl...
"HAA!"
Elizabeth did not waste the opportunity that her opponent gave her by throwing himself senselessly toward her and kicking at his exposed torso.
*CRUCH* *SQUELCH* *SPLASH*
"?!?!?"
What she did not expect was that her kick would not swat the boy away, but instead straight-up tear him in half!
"WH...?! NOOO! I didn't use the law of Taurus or anything?!"
The martial artist who did not an for the attack to be deadly, cried out in horror looking up at the upper half of the magician's body.
