The Mysterious Black Magician

Regardless, it puzzled Rea why a descendant of a well-known family in the empire chose to come to this academy. Though no laws were prohibiting them to choose an academy they wished to join. But still, it was unusual for Rea.

Jugo in his Prime State technique was now standing aloft while facing his enemy with too much pride. He believed with his current state he could defeat his enemy with ease.

While he was clad in scarlet armor that formed from his mana alone, the bracelets in his hands and legs were shining in gold color.

Yman squinted his eyes as he was gazing at Jugo. He was quite surprised by the scarlet armor that Jugo was currently wearing.

"How did you do it?" He asked.

"Heh!"

Upon hearing him, Jugo just sneered at him but did not answer. But soon he opened his mouth again. "Even if I tell you, there's no way you can understand," replied Jugo in a cold voice. It was their family's secret technique.

After hearing his reply, Yman made a silent laugh. He knew that Jugo was looking down at him just based on how he looked at him. Besides, Yman had a notion that the scarlet armor was made the same way he made his Fire Dolls. But the process of making it what made Yman so curious about it.

While Yman was pondering, Jugo was gathering mana on both hands. Then it slowly formed into spheres. From a little sphere to a sphere as big as volleyball.

Sneak-like sparks were trailing around it. They were like electric spheres. Yman's intuition told him that they weren't simple spheres. Before he knew it, Jugo already threw one of the spheres at him. Yman evaded by running to the side. He succeeded in evading it and the sphere hit where he was standing just a second ago.

Creeeek! BOOM!

A bead of sweat trailed down on Yman's face when he glanced and saw the sphere explode after an electrifying sound and animation.

Yet he had no time to have his attention occupied by it as his perception perceived a coming danger. Yman dove and rolled to his side. Just right after doing it, the other sphere passed by at him at an inch distance away from his face. Like the first sphere, it also exploded after an electrifying noise and animation.

He could feel the power of it based on the explosion alone. It was dangerous. He thought. But soon, Yman gawked when another sphere came towards him. "Eh?!" He uttered in surprise. 'How come he already summoned another one?' He asked inwardly. 'Wait! Is there no time lag in his attack?' Yman started to doubt.

It looks like this wolfman was not an ordinary opponent. Yman smiled inwardly.

On the other hand, Rea was wondering why Crimson chose to evade them. He was called Crimson Canceller in the guild for a reason. But looked at him now! He was avoiding those attacks. Rea wondered.

On the stage, Yman did his best to evade. On the contrary, Jugo was amusingly raining long-range attacks at him. "Now, stop running and die!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While he was evading the enemy's attack he noticed his enemy was throwing spheres faster and faster. 'Could it be… some kind of passive ability?' Yman suspected while running in a circle around the enemy.

Jugo was now standing in the middle of the stage while unceasingly sending electrifying spheres to Yman.

Yman increased his speed as he noticed Jugo's attack speed kept on increasing.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Scattered explosions reverberated on the stage. Some even hit the barrier and shook it. Fortunately, the barrier was strong enough to endure the power caused by the explosions.

"What kind of battle is this?" One of the VIPs asked subconsciously.

"Oh, I never thought this match would become so exciting," another VIP said in an amused tone.

"Who are those students?"

"Wait, is that wolfman just activated a secret technique?"

"Regardless, the human student did a good job evading those relentless attacks."

"Exactly!"

The VIPs started to ask and comment.

Principal Kim sent a sharp glance at Principal Mar. 'Is this old wench purposely hiding his trump cards for this last match of the day?' He asked suspiciously. Principal Kim frowned, then unwarily wore a bitter expression on his face.

He knew that because of this fight, the VIP would start to look ahead of the future fights. 'Damn this old fart!' He insulted inwardly. Especially that the VIPs already had a little peek of the members of Elite's strength. Their curiosity would soon be seeking another interesting match. 

Principal Kim calmed himself and was scrutinizing his brain. Wrinkles were noticeable on his forehead as he tried to seek some ideas to prevent the VIPs from sponsoring the academy of this city.

But soon a smile leaked on his mouth. If the wolfman who is a member of the elite class won this match, he could find a way to turn the Vip's attention away from their curiosity. It was easy for him to throw some dirt to the Zone 7 academy for the VIPs to lose interest in this City's academy and its students. Hehe. Principal Kim chuckled secretly. Now he just needed to wait for the wolfman to win. He glanced at the human student's profile, right, there was no Elite Emblem. He grinned further.

However, Principal Kim wasn't the type of person who just was content with a little information. He took his MTMD and sent a letter to his agent.

He needed information regarding the human participant named Crimson. A second later, his MTMD vibrated, notifying him about a new mail.

When he read it, there was a thumb's up icon in the message. Now, he just needed to wait.

Jugo's attack bears no result. He started to get annoyed at this enemy. How the fu#* this person was able to evade his attack in a hair's breadth distance at all times?! He couldn't believe it.

Yman noticed his enemy combined the two spheres into a much bigger sphere. It was oozing with power. But he was certain that he could evade it. 

Unfortunately, Jugo made a wise decision. Yman was caught in surprise when Jugo did not throw the giant sphere directly, instead, his figure disappeared and reappeared above his enemy. Yman widened his eyes.

He wanted to run but it was too late. Jugo shot the giant sphere at a point-blank range. BOOOOOM!

A strong explosion took over immediately and enveloped the whole stage with both smoke and dust along with the debris.

The referee Instructor Goki was staring with a stupefied face. Even he who was an instructor of the academy couldn't help but be amazed at the power of that attack. Regardless, Goki wondered if Yman was fine. Wait, no way he would be fine after receiving that attack from zero range distance. Perhaps, Yman's whole body turned to ash. Though, he would be reviving soon. 

But Goki felt regretful. Yman did so well in this fight. He was even secretly cheering for Yman. 'So, in the end, it was still impossible to defeat a person in the elite class, huh. Sigh!' Goki thought, then sighed.

The smoke did not dissipate right away because of the barrier. The smoke could only climb above but it also meant that the smoke would never dissipate faster. With a nonchalant face, Jugo's figure slowly descended into the smoke.

Everyone was staring at the stage with their mouths formed in a letter 'o'.

However, not long after Jugo descended in the cloud of smoke and dust, they heard a dull sound then a figure was sent away.
