my eyes opened to find myself floating somewhat above the ground with white energy and red flecks around me, it was more intense than the stuff I saw what felt like only seconds ago.

Amiras spy pov....
this wasn't good at all, syn was using energy development, it was somewhat like cultivation but this process was only available for certain creatures, and much more difficult, usually.
if he surpassed stage 4 we wouldn't be able to do anything if he chose to destroy half the planet, this wasn't good.
"let's just resume the remaining matches from yesterday."(syn)
I watched the students grab weapons from the wall and enter all three rings in pairs, hebwas watching all of them, as of it was easy.
a strange white haired girl next to him as he watched the matches.
"stop, all of you."(syn)
everyone halted immediately, something I was impressed with.
they all looked to him.
"none of you are taking this seriously."(syn)
"BULLSHIT!"(leon)
a kid named Leon shouted at Syn.
"I know what I'm talking about."(syn) answered calmly.
"yeah right! I bet I could beat you in a fight easy!"(leon) cockily shouted.
if only he knew how wrong he was.
"that won't be happening."(syn)
I knew this would be giving me away but I needed to see what he can do while limiting himself.
"I work directly for the director, I have the authority to allow it."(Audrey)
"of course she sent someone to watch me."(syn) said, sounding like he actually expected this.
"alright fine."(syn)
he walked over to the ring, standing still facing the challenger leon.
his arrogant stance and aggressive looking two handed weapon basically screaming look at me.
syn waved him on and leon charged, not the smartest thing to do but it was a start.
he lifted his two handed war axe and swung it down, the sound of blade meeting air as it traveled met all students ears, Syn just casually stood there, the blade impacting, but nothing happened.
the only thing that did happen was a small scratch on his shirt just beside his right pec.
leon was confused and that confusion turned to ignorant anger, he swung his welaon more and more, Syn picking and choosing which ones to dodge and which ones to block, his movements were both fluid and free with a hint of structure and refined quality, from what I've heard this wasn't normal.
leon was getting angrier and angrier as his attacks were met with either air or Syns fingers stopping the attacks cold, an air of respect for the new teacher brewing amongst the other students in the room.
I knew that I'd made the right call, this was valuable report material for Amira and maybe we could even find a weakness and end him, my lady's goal must be achieved, even if she temporarily puts it on hold to keep him close.

this kid was not learning, he'd done the same thing over and over again and at this point I was so bored I wasn't even bother with dodging or blocking, I was just slapping his axe off balance as soon as it got close, his attacks fumbling and the weapon nearly falling from his hands.
but enough was enough, my boredom and annoyance had reached its peak, so I just picked up the kid, directly under the shoulders and walked him out of the ring, declaring his loss since I was a teacher, still werids me out to think it.
but that didn't matter, at least not at the moment.
I looked at the dragon girl, I'd felt her stare on me this entire time and it was extremely uncomfortable, the look full of.....lust...
looks like the headache has evolved to migraine.
I told the kids to just practice spar, taking the time to go over to the dragon girl.
"look we have to talk about this, you can't be looking at me like that here."(syn)
"why not?"(glacier dragon)
"we'll one, I don't even know your name, and two, this room is full of children."(syn)
I can't believe that sentence actually came out of my mouth, holy hell was I not expecting that.
she gave me a confused look and just inched closer.
"no, we're not doing anything, I need you to go back to your room or wherever it is you're staying."(syn)
"ok!"(dragon girl)
I rolled my eyes as she walked off happily, groaning in my head as I shuffled back to the group of kids, watching the matches and determining winners.

Amira pov....
my spy had come back with some not amazing news, he had started combat development, it's called many names but its basically Like cultivation, except it's only for a select few.
only a species progenitor or a non human humanoid species who's grown incredible strong can do this, easily dwarfing cultivation realms with one single stage, their combat abilities and prowess soaring higher than it has any business being.
this was bad, from what I'd heard Syn was in stage 1, if he reached stage 6 calling him a God wouldn't be unbelievable, but he can't advance that quickly...can he?
I really hoped I would never find my answer, he was a monster right now, how more horrifying would he be if his strength only grew, this isn't good I need to get subject 6 at the same level to make sure that Syn isn't going to be an issue.
it's just not in me to be able to trust all that power in the hands of....well.....HIM.
