'LAISON MASH' eldest son of warlock 'ZAKAR MASH' a 2nd generation leader in the Malar council. He was born with a golden spoon and even better latent talent. Both of his parents were high ranking warlocks who broke through their limitations and reached a 2nd awakening. They hoped the same from their child, no their expectation were even more from the child inheriting genes from two high ranking warlocks and born with a talent far exceeding his peers. Laison was proud of his achievements but he soon got a heavy dose of reality from his own little brother. Who despite being 4 years younger than him beat the shit out of him. It wasn't out of spite nor any sort of discontentment just a competition between brothers. But that small competition laid the groundwork for Laison's future. He who was supposed to study in the best academy was sent to second best while his place was given to his little brother. Laison had little discontentment but even that vanished when he heard his little brother became a high ranking warlock a few years ago, his brother had already broken through rank 19 and was the no.1 champion of best academy in Malar. That reignited the fighting spirit within Laison he also utilized all the help from his parents and pushing himself to the limits became no.1 champion of second best academy of Malar.
What a glory it was both the brothers topped within their respective academies and became leaders among champions. But Laison wasn't satisfied, he knew he was no match for against his brother even against top ten of no.1 academy he would only be able to hold his own ground without a hope of defeating them. Laison already knew that he had already pushed himself to the limits and even with enhanced support his growth speed won't increase drastically but he still felt some resentment for their forceful decision and dragging him in the factional war of council. While he felt a sense of inferiority, but he felt it even more when he was challenged from those ranked below him. He had tried multiple times to kill them in arena but while they were weaker than him they always survived.
Now a newly awakened warlock from some backward town came to challenge him that truly touched his nerve. While he was angry but he wasn't blinded by rage. He was sure no sane person would throw their life for no reason so either this person was hiding his strength or he must have some connections but even after using all his means he found no clues regarding him being backed by someone strong. So he chose first possibility that this person must be strong but how strong. He himself hid his strength as a rank 20 warlock who went through a second awakening. Was this challenger even more stronger than him? unlikely. He was confident since only a high ranking warlock could defeat another, the outcome was already decided, he was only musing over how to punish this unruly cadet.
**************
While ohma was preparing his match against the top champion, Mike was inside a high tech chamber. He was staring on a holographic image of Alisa Wake who obliterated Clause one of leading scientists of nieghbouring empire. He had a calm and thoughtful look. It has been a hour since he unearthed it from council database and since then he is still musing weather to reveal this to ohma. He has high hopes for ohma but it was thoroughly shaken when he knew the truth.
Alisa Wake wasn't some thug or a high ranking warlock she was an Elite general from a superpower. Even with all his intellect he wasn't able to find any definite solution to this. If ohma went against empire there was no hope for him unless some miracle could take place. He himself didn't dared to touch any core database of Malar let alone Verdanto. It wasn't impossible for him but if found his life would be lost. The last time he tried to temper with it, the danger signals he got only led to sure death. So he surrendered himself and using his connections and by blackmailing a few individuals he got admitted in Academy no.7 2nd best in ranking, but now two years were up and he only had one year left to make a decision weather to join council and die fighting for freedom since council won't leave any uncertain elements behind and Mike had no intention of staying in this country subjected to so many restrictions.
While Mike was still in deep thought a new update came that made his eyes shine. Ohma challenged Laison the top dog of the academy. Unlike everyone else Mike was aware about Laison's abilities to some extent. Now he didn't needed to think much since this battle would decide his future decision. Even if ohma doesn't manages to defeat Laison he would definitely be pushed to the limits by laison and mike would get a clear picture of ohma's capabilities since ranks aren't absolutes and strength depends on many factors.
**************
The arena in section 1 was filled to the brim, seats were reserved before the match even stared. The arena had only two enterance made for both competitors to enter. It was 500meter in diameter.
Barriers were erected surrounding the inner part of arena. All the seats were occupied half an hour before match even started. Only Nine seats were empty in the vip section reserved for top 10 champions of the academy and even those were occupied far earlier before the start of match. Among the top nine champions 3 were women while 6 were men. After entering they all took their seats with somber expressions. They were all competing with each other since a rank above meant being a step ahead of other. They all wanted to defeat Laison or at least maintain the present scenario but this challenger disrupted the flow by directly challenging Laison. None of them were fools so they all understood even if this person doesn't manages to defeat Laison a new champion might make his debut and the reason they thought was because all of them have fought against Laison and none of them know his limit while he never exhibited power above rank 18 but he gave them a feeling of being unfathomable. All of them had the same evaluation about Laison. Unlike them Laison was from much sophisticated background and both of his parents were 2nd generation leaders in council.
All the officers throughout the academy were waiting for the match with anticipation and finally before 5 minutes the battle was scheduled to start the two opponents made their enterance. Both of them were in their battle suits which was especially made for cadets, the fabric was special strong enough to survive the damage to some extent and without interfaring in the battle.
Ohma observed his opponent. Laison had short black hair with a fine build though not comparable to ohma. There was no exchange of words both of them stared at another trying to gauge each others strength.
Ohma stared at laison without blinking according to previous records Laison was supposed to be a rank 18 warlock with spatial affinity. But ever since ohma entered the areana he was sensing danger which was far above a rank 18 warlock could exhibit. Ohma was ready for surprises and now he was sure that Laison already went through a second awakening. His expression did not fluctuate it was calm but his inner heart was still seething with rage and madness he just he hid it well.
Laison had a calm expression on his face and was redy to burst fort with all his strength the moment battle started. He was also speculating weather this person went through 2nd awakening or just like him did this person also had an inborn affinity.
With that 5 minutes were up and the battle started.
Kracckkk
BOOOOM
A earthshattering impact took place making a ripple in the barrior surrounding the areana. That was just the first one followed by many devastating impacts but that only created a sligth ripple in the barrier.
While the audience was riled up the top ten champions had a calm look since this was only start and none on the two were using any special powers they were just competing with raw strength.
Ohma and Laison both disappeared and reappeared while punching each other. Every time their fists met it created a huge impact and gradually both of them started increasing their strength. Soon Laison had a cautious expression since he went all out and in raw strength this person was able to match against him, no Ohma's strength exceeded his. Gradually Laison was the one being pushed around by ohma both in speed and strength he was left in dust.
BOOM
BAM BAM BAM
KRACKK
Laison received a punch in his face and was sent flying but before he could collide to the barrier he disappeared and reappeared behind ohma and with the same momentum giving him a fierce kick which sent ohma sliding through the floor. Both the contestents had serious look in their eyes. A silver aura appeared around laison which took the shape of a spear and a armor that covered him from head to toe, portals opened behind him and different kinds of weapens of different shapes came out of them. These portals were around 300 completely covering all his blind spots as well targeted ohma.
Ohma didn't held back anything he completely unleashed all of his strength and completed his first transformation. His hairs turned long, canines elongated, His skin turned dark with golden runic lines visible over them. His hands turned into claws with longer, sharper and stronger nails. His height increased from 175cm to 185cm. The hairs became long and even more darker but without second thought he sliced them using his claws. They turned to dust as soon as they got detached from his body not leaving anything behind.
Now both of them were ready to unleash their true might.
