As Isaac had stepped into the soul simulation for his first-ever proper battle in which he seems to be having the best moment of his life the same can't be said about the people outside.
People on the outside were totally dumbfounded and even Clark who usually has his signature facial expression the smirk replaced by a shocked face.
Because When no one was actually expecting anything from this last group of people, Isaac's incredible performance had attracted everyone's attention.
The truth is, at first no one had practically paid any attention to the performance of the last group, because the last group was mostly filled with nothing but useless people.
As the order in which the students were made to enter the 'soul simulator' was actually the same order in which they stood for awakening and since our hero (Issac) over here was basically the last person to awaken, his group was mostly made up of people who were punished for breaking the line during the awakening ceremony.
Except for him, there were only two people, who were other than him in this group who weren't pushed to last for breaking a rule.
So basically, in eyes of the others, the last group was basically nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothing trouble makers.
And it was actually the same as they had speculated the group was certainly made of a group of hyperactive idiots or cowards, but with the sole exception, that is 'Issac'.
While others were trying to fight or run for their life, This dude was literally playing with the clone of a veteran 'A' rank warrior like an adult toying with a child.
Well that the audience thought while Even though the truth was far from that,
From the eyes of the spectators, all they saw was a dude who stood in a desert with a look on his face that looked like he was about to have fun with a smirk on his face while swinging the sword a few times during the preparation time testing it.
The Spectators don't know about it they neither knew of Issac's past nor his current train of thoughts all they can see was the dude had been playing with the clone of the instructor.
But how did they come to this kind of conclusion? So for you guys to understand I will explain what actually happened while Isaac was struggling inside.
A few minutes early when the last group was summoned inside the battlefield most of the students had already started ranking the top ten without even waiting for the conclusion of the last group's battles.
At first, Only a few were actually paying attention to make fun of the last group's Battle.
And when they saw a guy acting all tough in front of the clone of the instructor they couldn't contain their ridicule and they started mocking him out loud which attracted the attention of the others.
And within a few seconds, everyone's attention was drawn to the part of the screen where Isaac's battle was about to happen.
And since Issac was already a little famous due to his few but amazing feats such as calling the principal a 'bitch', not to mention his most recent accomplishments of irritating the gods and obtaining the title of a 'cursed one ' so this made him a sort of a celebrity even the researchers who were not so indulging in outside world's affairs know him.
After seeing him behave in a way with so much arrogance, all they thought was that Isaac was trying to show off and everyone speculated that an incompetent person like Isaac wouldn't be able to accomplish anything worthy of praise.
And as if he was trying to prove them right Isaac suddenly froze the moment when the timer went down to zero.
which caused the spectators to ridicule him even more but while they were mocking him and waiting to see him die within seconds in the battle after showing off so much something shocking happened on the screen.
As they were watching the clone close the distance between the stupefied Issac and perform a sword slash directly to its opponent's head the guy who had been frozen suddenly moved and evaded the attack in a hairsbreadth.
He took a step back and evaded the attack like it was nothing and added the fact for the first time due to Issac's luck the camera angle for the fight was on a long-shot view, so the crowd couldn't see that he, himself was actually dumbfounded.
And now, the spectators were amazed, and they even began believing that Isaac had evaded the sword slash due to his skill.
Well if it was actually a normal fight no one would have believed so bit the way Issac acted, the way he mocked the clone and the way stood still only to evade the strike at the last minute all these things made them assume that Issac may have done on purpose.
But not all of them were stupid some had their doubts but before the crowd could clarify anything the clone chased its escape prey to perform another diagonal slash.
But this time Isaac evade the attack like a pro, with a short jump and a smooth slide from the slash which caused even the big shots like Clark and Mrs. Leonie to have their wide open in astonishment.
This now looked like Isaac was playing with the clone of the instructor and the expression on the faces of both Clark and Leonie made the crowd believe in their assumption even more.
Of course, the old veteran and the Mrs. baldy Hero weren't fools to believe that and they knew the reality of the situation and that's the reason they were shocked even more.
Because if Isaac once from a deadly blow by a veteran warrior at least there's a 10% chance you call it a fluke but after seeing him evade the second attack which was even harder to evade than the 1st attack in an easier manner and with future insight not render his movement made the two monsters look him with astonishment.
Because something like planning your next move isn't possible when facing an opponent who has more power and experience than you in a 1-on-1 confrontation. Unless the opponent is stupid or you caught him off guard.
And something like That can also only be done by a person who experienced more battle But for a novice to be able to fight against an opponent who has more power and experience than him with such insight was unheard of.
And the more these two people see his performance the more they were shocked, as each second passed the guy was getting better and better the more the clone tried the more versatile Issac becomes.
After watching the fight for a few minutes They could only come to one conclusion the guy in front of them was a true genius.
But and looking at the situation on the screen they leave a sigh that was because even a genius has his limits. And Isaac seems to have reached his.
While fighting more people only tend to look at their opponents and only think of a way to defeat their opponents in the most swiftly possible manner. And so they forget a few other important factors such as the environment around them and this is a total novice mistake.
That's the same mistake Issac committed, he forgot to notice that the was slow being led at the pace of his opponent and forget to notice that his opponent had been leading him to the corner to finish him off for good.
And since the environment was desert the was no corner but the peak of the dune can be considered so.
While Isaac was having all the fun in his life dodging his opponent the opponent had a lead I'm on top of a large dune and was waiting for the perfect timing to finish him off.
Isaac wasn't stupid and the movement his instinct warned of a danger he immediately noticed his situation but before he could do anything the clone had already closed in and was swinging its sword with its full weight to either finish Isaac off or to make him lose his balance and finish him.
Either way, the battle was coming to its conclusion with a loss for Isaac and even the old monster thought so but what Isaac did next made them drop their jaws to roll on the floor while a few even removed their eyeballs from their sockets and wiped the clean to see what had happened.
After seeing Issac evade attacks with ease as the time passed both the old had accepted that Issac was a genius but after witnessing his last move the duo could only come up with one conclusion,
that the Otherworlder named Isaac was by no means an ordinary genius who was born like 1 in a 1000 or 1 in a 10000 or even a 1 in a 1000000.
The one before was the person that can transcend the possibility of genius, a Genius among the genius.
