“I welcome you all back from the first round of the tournament!” the vice-headmaster’s voice echoes throughout the auditorium before he continues, “Behind me you will see the results of your hard work, and the initial ranking after the first round!” Most of the students in the room were already reading the names on the list, with many of them voicing surprise at the sight of a Class I first year so high up on them. But the vice-headmaster doesn’t give them any time to talk about it as he says,…-

The remaining time left in the first round ends up being really boring, as all I’m left to do is sit in the corner and watch other people battle. Which isn’t really saying much, considering I’ve already fought everyone of significance in terms of combat prowess in here. Aside from Viper, of course. But I would be defeated in an instant if I tried fighting her right now. Eventually I just sit up against the wall and close my eyes, not even watching the fights anymore. I don’t go to sleep, since…

Cipher wasn’t very surprised when he got put in charge of security in the observatory room itself, where over fifty instructors of the GU along with the other important faculty members all watch the competing students together and pick out the good ones from the bunch. What he was surprised about was being told to guard it from the inside by the vice-headmaster, Alfred, instead of patrolling outside like he would’ve preferred. And to make matters worse, the instructors who he’d gone to university…

My eyes widen in shock when the wound I dealt to Necro begins to glow. Specifically, the black cracks running through the wound. So I draw my other arm’s claws across his back before jumping backwards myself to avoid whatever skill he’s using. Only to be shocked when I see the black cracks begin to explode across his back in tiny explosions, making the wounds The hell? “You can still stand with those wounds?” I ask with a raised brow. He coughs out a mouthful of black blood on the ground,…

Without any hesitation, his death aura flares out again, and he begins to step towards me with his eyes slowly turning pitch black. Certainly intimidating, that’s for sure. I quickly use blood boil and life drain on him, but he doesn’t even wince as he continues stepping towards me. Even with tiny little red spots appearing around his body. The guy is clearly a higher level than me, which shows in both his magic level being higher and the effect blood boil has on him being lesser than the other…

“Excellent,” the woman says while still clapping, her voice echoing throughout the stadium in the process. “This is the first time that a single student has done this well in decades. Not since the last generation was attending, at the very least.” I raise a brow at that. The last ‘generation’ as she calls it is really just referring to the current youngest Class IV Guardians. Which includes Cynthia and Allen amongst those numbers, along with several of the staff at the university. Since…

Anthony has yet to be disappointed by the girl he found the name of to be Scarlet. Even with her lacking skill in actual combat techniques, often opting to go with a more instinctive and brute force manner of attack, she still always goes with the right choice in the battle. And while others might’ve believed her staying back and weakening Sentinel over time was a coward’s way of fighting, Anthony fully supports it. And seeing Sentinel’s manner of challenging Scarlet almost had Anthony bursting out…

As it turns out, the other twin isn’t stronger than the first, and I deal with him just a tiny bit slower than the first. Although I do find it interesting that one twin uses electricity, while the other uses water. An interesting combination. Also, why do they still look identical even with their reality warp? Except the different colors. I blink in surprise as I look away from the two remaining students, one of which is approaching me, at the ground. So being a blood relative actually does matter…

And just like with the other challenges, I fight the students back to back, finally starting to feel just a little mentally tired from the number of battles I’ve fought back to back. But I still don’t lose to any of them, keeping the win streak that I’ve created and quickly become proud of. “I’m a little surprised you waited this long,” I honestly tell the guy with death magic. And he just points at himself with a vaguely surprised look after having just yawned. “Yes, you.” The guy is…

The guy quickly staggers at my onslaught of blood boil and life drain, but he holds firm otherwise and activates the skill I’ve seen him use on others. One that turns the skin on his arms into crimson scales. The entire reason he’s wearing some sort of sleeveless magi-tech armor with a form fitting top and pants. Unlike me though, he doesn’t get any sort of claws or anything, with the scales not covering his fingernails in a way that looks slightly off. We both begin charging straight at each…
