100 000, 200 000 was a multiple enemy damage dealer skill, to use a skill like that on a single target was a wrong decision. It dealt 200 000 blows with one action but per target blow was below average that is even when facing multiple target, a target could still get hit and survive also this skill was not a fixed target skill. Rein overlooked the fact that the person standing in front of him was also an assassin like Zolin and seemed to even had quick movement than Zolin.

Out of 200 000 damages only four successful hit. And he was thinking he could finish it all in one blow not to mention his aura was now drained.
Thell, his opponent sharply got below his jaw and gave him a uppercut.
"You'd be dead if this was a death match"
"Do you think you would have been able to survive my first attack if this was a death match"
"you've got a swift tongue"
"and you seem to enjoy talking while fighting"
Rein dashed at him 'damnit I'll just use pure skills and pour everything I've learned into this fight. Rein began to close in the distance and gave his opponent a pinscher attack.'
A pinscher attack was the best strategy when you want to limit your opponent or deal him a crucial blow but it was often a bad idea because it left your defense open, since pinscher attack are focused on one side full attack it'll take a 0.4 seconds speed to react if your opponent is strong enough to penetrate your speed. Rein was holding on well, he wasn't an assassin and yet he could react so quick to his defense and at the same time counter. It was all thanks to his agility being over 200. Rein continued to push Thell back.
Thell might seems to have higher speed than Zolin but he was far from knowing any shadow skills. They barely spent one month in the academy so it's not disappointing that all the students are weak. The tournament served as an extra purpose apart from being a game for the ceremony; it was for instructors to find disciples. Different instructors are allowed to personally train at most three student they're interested in so the tournament was a scouting arena. For student they can have as many masters as they wish but for instructors they only allowed three disciples.
"how the hell are you catching up to my speed?"
"by running... I guess"
Thell was gasping, Rein was also gasping he planned to finish this quick and obtained AP but as he had spent over ten minutes trying to deal a critical damage, he was able to deal damages but they weren't deep enough plus he was also running out of stamina.
"let's see how much you can run pretty boy"
"what's it with the names any ways"
Thell focused his strength on his legs, the floor made little cracks as he bent down to start running.
[Aura has relatively increased from battle experience]
"ha... how lucky..." Rein dropped his sword
Thell who was about to run got startled, "are you surrendering even when I'm yet to start my finishing move"
"who me...? No I'm about to get serious"
Rein cracked his knuckles "Detroit! Tiger fist!!"
He shouted a Yellow glow came upon his fist.
"Bastard you must think I'm a -"

The yellow light on Rein's hand slowly disappeared.
"What the hell was that...?"
People who have misunderstood and hated Rein from the beginning began to fear him. He dropped his weapon and plummeted his opponent with his fist, was he hiding his powers for many it was that way but for some.
"I want him no doubt.."
"no matter how much I look at it, I still think he's got lucky, if he could use his hands while bother using a sword in the first place." Ross tried to counter Nozick.
"He made a wrong judgement in the beginning, it probably came from his inexperience, but imagine there were 1000 more of his opponents on that stage, his fast attack would have been enough to wear them out. He's the perfect fit for a war general. It might not be during the academy but work towards recruiting him after the academy but if you can during the academy I don't mind, if you can't however try to maintain a good relationship with him"
"Yes sir"
Eztli approached them, "what's happening did he give an order?"
Nozick looked at Eztli from his head to his feet and continued walking.
Ross touched his shoulder, "don't worry, he was impressed by your win today."
"we are the first team to obtain 300AP we can decide to neglect the rest of the match now can't we?"
"Young Master will never allow that" Russ followed the Nozick.
'we are of the same rank, same social status in fact he's a mere insignificant royal prince. I'm the imperial prince... The difference is, he's been given a right to compete for the throne and I can't even dream of looking at my father's throne... He treats me like an insignificant bug... Just you wait spoil prince' Eztli tightened his fist and continued to go his way.
Among the people that watched the match and was surprised was Prince Neza and princess Mahuizoh.
"Isn't it time you started to take him serious"
"I don't want to. If he continues to grow I'll just put him out."
"Why is it so hard anyway..."
"he's weak and that's it, even if he blossom a little it does not change the fact that all he has is his heritage and he might not even be able to protect it. Compared to us having to grow up in that palace we've been fighting wars since the day we were born, no one taught us, we matured to early and knew the scary world. I cannot get married to that kind of rich brat it's irritating."
"Would you have preferred Arnette?" Neza said.
She blushed a little, "let's talk about something else, I will not marry him"
'how annoying the imperial family is all the same... however...' if you don't want to kill him now, you won't be able to in the future besides you can't handle the prodigy amidst them.
... I should check on Cualli after this tournament, what's his party?"
"Droshveth"
They left the field to prepare for their own fight.
