Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 23 New Day

Zevien was directly dropped at the academy after that and went to his dorm to shower and get ready because their first class, which is about meditation, starts at 6:30 Am, and it's 5:47 Am currently.

After entering, he saw that Dan was not inside, 'hmm, he must have already started training.'

…

He went out after showering and changing his clothes into a short-sleeved white t-shirt and track pants.

His body hadn't changed, but his muscles had become more refined after his body became stronger due to that phenomenon of motes entering his body.

After jogging for ten minutes and entering the open ground beside the dorm houses, Dan and other students were training independently.

"Hey, Dan! Let's spar," Zevien said with a grin as he increased his speed.

Dan turned to Zevien after hearing the voice and laughed as he took a fighting stance with one leg and hand forward, "come on!"

Zevien suddenly jumped as he executed a flying kick, "yo, defend using mana, or your bones might crack!"

Seeing Zevien coming at him with a flying kick, Dan braced himself as he infused slight mana in his hands to the possible limit before he grinned, 'that is if I let your kick hit me.'

Right when Zevien's kick arrived in front of Dan, he flowed his right hand like water and spun as he grabbed Zevien's ankle before he could get hit by his kick.

"Not so easy, mate," Zevien laughed seeing Dan grabbing his ankle to throw him sideways.

Using Dan's own hand grabbing his ankle as support, he swung his other leg while in the air and hit Dan's shoulder.

"Sh-"Dan was sent flying five meters away before he could finish cursing.

This ground was plain ground with no greenery, so dust rose as Dan was dragged on the ground.

*swoosh…*

Dan came out of the dust at full speed as he and Zevien started fighting each other.

The other students who were training stopped and watched with amazement at their fighting capabilities.

Dan and Zevien blocked and dodged each other's attack while not leaving any chance to land a blow on each other.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Dan jumped backward while rubbing his hands and legs with a speechless expression, "damn, man. Your physical strength is stronger than mine. How did you train? I for sure thought that I would have the highest physical strength among all first-year students."

Dan fought for the first time against Zevien, so he didn't know that Zevien's physical body was weaker yesterday. But today, it had become stronger due to Zevien killing that wolf and many of those fishes, which automatically strengthened his body.

Naturally, he also had to consolidate his body because of this newfound strength, and that's why he decided to spar with Dan.

"Well yeah, my physical strength is stronger than average, so you gotta train harder, hahaha," Zevien laughed before he retook a stance, "alright, let's fight again. I will only defend against your attack this time, so keep on coming."

"How about I take his place?" Vernisia arrived on the ground with a sports t-shirt and leggings with a sports jacket over her body.

"Anyone is free to take Dan's position, come on!" Zevien said loudly.

Hearing that, Vernisia smiled and dashed forward as she spread mana in her body to empower herself to the possible limit and jumped high towards Zevien with a direct leg strike.

Zevien decided to do the same thing as Dan. When Vernisia's kick arrived near him, he spun slightly and grabbed her ankle, intending to throw her with the spin.

Dan raised his eyebrows seeing and saw Vernisia doing the same thing as Zevien with a minor difference because she came toward Zevien with a flying high kick.

When Zevien grabbed her ankle, she pushed her body to the side with Zevien's hand as support and executed a sidekick.

However, Zevien was prepared for it as he grabbed the other leg with his other hand before he spun and threw her high in the sky.

Vernisia's eyes danced with slight excitement as she dashed forward this time and started attacking Zevien.

Zevien only defended himself, but he was happy nonetheless, very happy.

A big smile was plastered on his face.

Vernisia tried all kinds of attack patterns, but Zevien managed to defend against all of her attacks with his hands and legs.

Both of them were quickly moving on the ground as their footwork, and fighting capabilities were very impressive.

Right at that moment, Zevien realized something, 'wait for a second… Vernisia's destiny changed, and her magic eidos body problem was also fixed. But…the fighting capabilities she is displaying right now are vastly higher than before the time rewind.'

'How is that possible? The training and practice she did before arriving at the academy shouldn't have changed due to the time rewind…oh wait, I get it now,' Zevien thought of a possibility and felt that it made sense.

Just like him, Vernisia was also a special case.

He retained the memories, but the past before arriving at the academy was the same.

However, this was not true for Vernisia.

Her problem with magic eidos body was since she was born, so for her destiny to change and problem to get fixed, her whole life must have been…kind of re-written.

'That mystical being only did time rewind, but to fix Vernisia's problem, he must have spent more effort and had her entire life changed from the start,' Zevien thought.

*Smack…*

Suddenly, Vernisia's kick hit the side stomach of Zevien as he briefly lost focus due to his inner thoughts and was sent flying.

Vernisia was startled at that carelessness of Zevien, "are you okay? What happened?"

Zevien felt a bit of pain since he hadn't protected his body with mana to the possible limit, but it was not too serious as he smiled, "I'm fine, Dan."

Vernisia stretched her hand and curled her lips before speaking, "how can you be so careless?"

Zevien grabbed her hand and stood up as he beamed, "the moon was simply too beautiful and caused me some distraction."

Vernisia blushed as she let of Zevien's hand and turned around before wiping off some sweat on her face, "enough sparring for today. Let's go back to the dorms and freshen up since the meditation class will start soon."

Dan hopped toward Zevien with a sneaky smile on his face while Vernisia left and poked Zevien, "damn bro, you are scoring high points one after another. Actually...ahem...

"I also like Erica, hehe. I've known her before entering this academy because she and her master would come to our dojo, and we have fought together a lot. But she has always lost to me and is a bit salty towards me."

"What are you getting at?" Zevien asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"Cough…What I mean is that. How about you invite Vernisia and Erica to dinner tonight? Both of them are good friends, so that we can go on an unofficial double date, hehehe."
