Chapter 111: End of knockout exam.

"It is for his level, but techniques like that have little or no effect in high-level combat." Principal Lovren chipped in.

"I don't think so. The only reason you say you talk that way is that you haven't met a master using the technique and what if he is going to be the master?" Prince Bryon's words made principal Lovren ponder for a second.

"Then let's see how it goes…"

…

Back to the battleground…

'His aggressive nature forces me to be on the defense and with the way things are going I will surely lose." Luciano didn't let his eyes off Blake even for a second as both of them locked their as on each other while panting.

The only reason Luciano was able to keep up with Blake's speed was because of the wind domain, but the problem was that maintaining it costs a lot of mana and at this rate, he would surely run out of mana long before Blake does.

'Guess I will have to go all out before I run out of mana.' Luciano cast flame cloak engulfing his entire body in golden flames before dashing forward.

[With the amount of mana he has spent in the previous matches and the amount of mana it costs to maintain the wind domain, he will soon run out of mana. That means he would try to end it quick, so play it safe.] The system made a quick analysis when it saw Luciano taking the initiative to attack.

'Noted.' Blake injected more mana into the lightning reinforcement causing the lightning aura and lightning arcs to squirm more vigorously before dashing forward to meet Luciano.

"Damn…" Brian and Castiel were entranced by their display of power. The scene looked like a battle between the majestic God of flames against the imperious lightning God.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Immediately they met each other, their swords collided multiple times as they both wanted to gain an advantage over each other but they were stuck in a stalemate.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Luciano was superior to Blake when it came to swordsmanship because of his training with sword masters of the royal family, but Blake was faring way better than him with the help of the speed boost granted by lightning reinforcement and If not for the wind domain that helped him dodge and block dangerous attacks the match would have been long over.

Seeing that this approach wasn't working, Luciano blocked Blake's strike and before pouring more mana into the flame cloak causing the flames on him to burn with intensity.

'Shit!' Blake cursed when he realized what was going on.

BOOM!

The explosion sent Blake flying out of the thick cloud of explosion and onto the ground.

'That sly bastard! If I didn't cast flame cloak on time I would have been knocked out either by the explosion or by my impact on the ground… Fuck me!' Blake was still getting back on his feet when he sensed incoming danger. Not minding his four-legged position, Blake's muscles bulged as he flipped out of the way of the incoming wind blades.

Ding! Ding!

Wind blades kept on raining as Blake didn't stop moving and blocking those that were hard to dodge with his katana.

[Two options; wait for him to expend all his mana or pressure him to spend more mana.] The system analyzed the situation and gave him two paths to victory.

'You already know the option I will choose.' Blake thought with a smile on his face as he dodged a wind Blade lunged into the thick smoke.

For someone like Blake who had the best sensory skills in the entire first year, the smoke didn't affect his vision in any way. Once he located Luciano in the thick smoke, Blake charged a lightning bolt in his free hand and threw it at Luciano.

Immediately the lightning bolt entered his perception range, Luciano quickly controlled a gust of wind to push him out of the way.

Zzzg Zzzzg

A split second after Luciano was pushed out of the way, a lightning bolt zoomed past his previous position

'Close one… Shit!' Before Luciano could even celebrate he sensed another lightning bolt entering his range of perception, but before he could react he was sent flying by the lightning bolt.

'C'mon, give…me a…break.' Luciano was finding it hard to form complete thoughts from the numbing pain when another lightning bolt hit before he touched the ground.

BOOM!

Luciano heavily crashed into the ground as he started to spasm from the effects of both an electrode and the Raiju breathing technique.

"Monster!" Many in the crowd began shouting in shock.

"Huh?" Luciano who was still spasming and hadn't fainted due to his strong will managed to look up to see Blake in mid-air with a lightning bolt twice the normal size in his hand.

Zzzzzg! Zzzzzg! Zzzzzg! Zzzzzg!

The sound of crackling lightning echoed all over the training ground as Blake threw the lightning bolt to Luciano who helplessly watched as the lightning bolt drew nearer.

Ding!

Before the lightning bolt could end his life a golden hue from the badge appeared and neutralized the power of the incoming bolt.

"Winner, Blake!" Instructor Zirrack announced with an unbridled smile on his face. He couldn't care less about the injured student, because the only thought on his mind was that of professor Alfred handing over a bottle of rejuvenation potion.

[I thought you guys were friends? That was overkill!] Even the system was stunned by Blake's action, it was unnecessary.

'One can never be too sure…' Blake smiled sheepishly when he realized that he had gone overboard.

When he returned to Castiel and Brian, the looks on their faces was the same expression when one saw a monster.

"Good game."

"Well played."

Castiel and Brian congratulated Blake in the language of gamers.

…

"He is way stronger than I expected." Principal Lovren was slightly surprised.

"Me too… but I must confess his growth speed is amazing." Prince too was surprised by Blake's strength. Even though Luciano had lower, Prince Bryon had thought Blake would use a little bit of the space element but to his utmost surprise, Blake had won without it.
