God's Eyes

Releasing more than half of his mana at once, Jason´s eyes radiated a terrifying heat and cold at the same time as a dozen tiny black flames manifested around him.

Shaping them into spikes, Jason enveloped them into mana icicles before his gazes turned to the tall youth who charged at him with his full speed.

Doing multiple things at the same time was extremely difficult, even for Jason who refined his brain and was more proficient in multitasking than others, but he still froze the floor five meters in front of him, turning it into a completely smooth surface.

This could be seen as a small obstacle but rather than doing it obviously, the focus of most students which included the tall bulky youth that charged at him, was mostly at the icicles with burning black flames within.

Ice and fire were opposite elements and more than a little bit hostile to each other as the hot flame would melt ice and in return, the produced water would extinguish the flames.

Seeing dozens of icicles enveloping a black flame, everyone was shocked as not a single drop of water fell to the ground, indicating a melting process as their eyes widened.

Jason only smiled lightly, as this was one of his most recent achievements.

As both of the affinities belonged to him, Jason could regulate them however he wanted with enough proficiency which included the heat of his black origin flame.

More importantly, however, was that Jason could even set a rough timer for his black origin flame to explode with a terrifying heat, he didn't know before.

He still had to supply both the tiny flames and the icicles with mana, but the consumption was not that big, thanks to the flames' low heat, with slowed down the melting process.

Because the black origin flame was his soulbond, he could control it much easier than any affinity, and transmitting orders felt as if his black fire affinity didn't have to be controlled by him but rather the origin flame within him.

Ordering it to have an extremely low temperature within the icicles, everything seemed magical but at the same time, it was entirely useless and only decoration, if nothing changed.

Smiling cunningly, Jason distracted the tall youth from the smooth ground in front of him, as he shot out two of his dozen black flame icicles at him.

Now Jason's timing had to be perfect, as he focused his attention on the two icicles he shoots towards the tall youth.

The icicles' speed wasn't excessively fast but that wasn't even their task, as such, it was entirely useless for them to reach a high velocity when they entered the range of one meter around the tall youth.

Cleaving down with his battle-axe, Jason found the perfect timing, as he ordered the origin flame to increase the flame´s heat to the highest possible before he simultaneously changed to the ice affinity in order to force the icicles to explode in front of the tall youth.

Thousands of ice splitters flew through the whole arena, covering the view of the tall youth as his axe cleaved down without hitting anything.

Rather than that, the tall youth suddenly noticed, goosebumps covering his whole body as a terrifying heat spread from the position the exploded icicles previously exploded as a wall of fire could be seen only a few dozen centimeters away from him.

The tall youth could only decelerate his steps in order to cleave at the firewall in front of him to charge towards his opponent or change his direction with his current speed, as two icicles to the tall youths left and right side appeared, exploding at an even closer range to him.

The heat that spread through the combat arena approached him and burned the hair on his arm, as he cleaved down enraged.

He couldn't allow a 3rd Adept rank to play with him!!! Where was his pride?!

The tall youth wanted to win more than anything but the current situation didn't go as planned, causing him to frown deeply.

Jason meanwhile continued to shoot the remaining six icicles at the position the former icicles with the black origin flames exploded in order to cover the view of the tall bulky youth for some more, as he exerted his weightless step technique to his fullest potential.

Over the last month, his weightless step movement technique reached profound mastery and his speed increased by roughly 40% with it, as he charged at the black firewall that enveloped the tall bulky youth.

Due to his mana eyes, he could perfectly see what was going on behind the black firewall and what he saw caused him to smile oddly.

The tall youth cleaved at the firewall in front of him only to notice another batch of icicles exploding, exactly where he cleaved at, constructing another wall of fire.

Completely enraged, the tall bulky youth pondered if he should just charge through the firewall, before he immediately disregarded the suicidal move, as he pulled his battle-axe back in order to cleave at all firewalls at the same time with a spinning cleave.

Seeing this through the firewall, Jason smiled as he reached the tall youth´s side.

Cleaving down, the tall youth severed the firewall, extinguishing them, as Jason canceled his mana supply completely at the same time before he enveloped his lower body with a mana membrane, while circulating it additionally in his lower body, exerting the weightless step once again.

To fight with a battle-axe, every attack had to hit the target as the combat style with heavy weapons was mostly focused on inflicting heavy injuries with a single strike and not clashing with someone hundreds of times within a minute.

As such, some time was required to pull back the heavy battle-axe and Jason used this period of time to charge at the unaware tall youth who looked straightforward, only to notice that Jason vanished from his previous position.

Sensing something amiss, he wanted to pull back his battle-axe faster, as he pondered if he should abandon his weapon when something cold grazed his neck.

[Victory, Jason Stella] could only be heard, when Jason´s dagger laid upon the tall youth's neck, indicating his death sentence if this spar was a life and death fight.

For Seron and other students of the 6th affiliated special combat class, Jason's crafty tactics were already known to a certain extent, but they were still shocked to see the icicles enveloping his black fire affinity, which was something only someone with an extremely high fire affinity proficiency could do.

They knew Jason fought mostly with tactics that were mostly focused on deception and other facts, causing them to lose even though they knew about it, but now complete strangers fought against him and they were unaware of Jason´s craftiness who overwhelmed his opponent with his strategy and high-affinity proficiency.

Even though these students didn´t know how a 3rd Adept rank was able to enter the special combat class before, now they knew and they somehow pitied the 8th Adept rank that dared to fight Jason head-on.

Everyone could roughly estimate that both of Jason´s affinities were most likely at the low-evolved rank, if not even higher, indicating him having formed a soulbond with two evolved beasts, which was shocking.

Nobody would do something like that as wasting two spots for evolved beasts was extremely wasteful and they wondered why this black-haired youth with golden eyes did something like that, as a shocking idea formed in their minds.
