Boooom,
A loud boom was heard and Ron was catapulted back, flying 3 meters before rolling down the stage and stopping.
Everyone looked surprised,
"Did it just end there, in one punch?",
"But how??",
These were everyone's thoughts and they backed off the stage instinctively and looked at the ground with wide eyes.
When the dust cleared, they could see a battered Ron, standing up with blood trickling out of his lips. It was clear that Ray's punch had shaken his internal organs and caused him immense damage.
Ron looked at Ray with unbridled rage, and shouted,
"God Of War's Will: Frenzy",
With that, his eyes turned red and the aura around him grew even fiercer while claws came out from where his nails were.
"Grrr",
A guttural growl came out of his mouth as he rushed on towards Ray. His speed increased to such an extent that dust kicked up behind him while most below the stage couldn't even pick up with his pace.
Ron flipped his hands and a War Axe appeared in his hands.
The War Axe itself was glowing red and had the same aura around it as Ron.
On the other hand, Ray looked at Ron in surprise. It seemed that Ron's aura had climbed up to the peak of the pseudo-advanced tier. Though this method of raising power came with an obvious disadvantage,
Loss of clarity in return for strength,
This was a very cruel disadvantage as from what Ray could perceive all Ron saw was red.
However, to everyone's surprise, Ray smiled and then gave out a hearty laugh as his aura climbed as well and stopped at the mid stages of the pseudo-advanced tier,
"Come at me, let me beat the hell out of you and show you who is the boss",
Ray shouted as his middle finger beckoned Ron to come at him. Seeing the clear provocation, Ron got enraged even more and hacked his War Axe at Ray.
Ray smiled and flipped his hand, a sword appeared and blocked Ron's War Axe. Looking at Ron with a cruel smile, Ray said,
"Let me show you how it's done",
With that, Ray pushed his sword forward and kicked Ron in the stomach. Forcing him a step back. The sword in Ray's hand glowed briefly before the engravings on the sword lit up with a golden light.
With that, Ray slashed his sword forward but Ron blocked his attack with his War Axe,
"Do you thinkk that onlyy you could block, Aaah",
Ron growled before shouting and pushing Ray off, then he stepped forward and slashed his Axe down on Ray.
"Hmph",
Ray snorted and blocked the Axe with ease. After all, Ray was not some pushover and had enough strength to fight and defeat Ron without showing any of his trump cards.
Ray then cast his other spell,
[Lightning Web]
The area surrounding Ray got covered in lightning while Ron, who was in front of Ray twitched from pain before stomping hard and once again lunging at Ray.
Ray side-stepped whereas Ron continued to move forward due to inertia while Ray kicked him once on his back. This time, Ron fell on his front. Causing his nose to bleed. Although it wasn't a serious injury, the humiliation caused by it flared his anger even more.
After all, who could stay calm when a whole bunch of students who were weaker than him laughed in his face while he got himself played by someone in such a way?
Ron directed all of his anger towards the perpetrator, Ray. While Ray just looked at Ron with an amused smile.
He grinned and once again beckoned Ron to come at him. Ron, being the angry bull he was, once again rushed forward towards ray, but sadly he met the same situation as before.
Ray did this a couple more times, causing Ron to suffer from endless humiliation. On the other hand, all the recruits that watched the fight understood one thing clearly,
That, Ray, was not someone to be messed with.
Ray then beckoned at Ron once again but as he did so, a voice sounded in his mind,
"Just get it over with, you have made your point, and time is running out. Do it fast or I will interfere",
Listening to the voice, Ray knew who the owner of the voice was and glanced briefly at the professor who was nodding at him.
Seeing this, Ray stopped playing his game and got serious.
As Ray got serious, his aura changed. An extreme amount of killing intent surged forward but Ray suppressed it. After all, he didn't want to kill the guy in front of him.
Ray lifted both of his hands and his mana surged, the mana core in his body started to pump mana faster and faster while ripples appeared beneath Ray's feet.
Then, Ray activated two of his most trustworthy spell,
[Fire Ball],
[Lightning Bolt],
One of his was covered in a fire while the other had lightning snaking around it,
At the same time, he shot out both spells, and then,
"Booooooom",
Dust scattered all around as a loud explosion occurred. Even in the dust, one could make out the figure of Ron, flying backward in a parabola.
Ron on the other hand, felt his vision darkening as he lay on the ground but Ron truly had a strong will as held onto himself and bit his tongue, drawing out blood but persisted.
Standing with immense difficulty, Ron looked at Ray and then started to slowly walk towards him.
Meanwhile, Ray raised an eyebrow seeing Ron's will to fight. After all, Ron was not in a state which could be called good in any way as his whole body was charred from the attacks and blood seeped out of his nose and ears. Other than that, Ray could also see that his internal organs were badly shaken and a couple of his ribs had also been broken.
In the state Ron was, if he did not get himself healed, then he was going to die for sure and Ray didn't want that. Therefore, he kicked the ground and rushed forward, appearing in front of Ron in a second.
Then, lifted his hand and viciously smacked Ron on the back of his head causing him to lose consciousness and faint.
"Phew",
Ray exhaled as he looked at Ron's miserable condition. He was not good and needed care right after. It wasn't his injuries that were bad but the fact that he pushed himself even after getting injured to such an extent, caused his condition to go critical.
Therefore, Ray hurriedly took out a lesser healing pill from his inventory and fed it to Ron sneakily.
As soon as he did so, the homeroom teacher appeared in front of Ray and looked at Ron.
"Poor kid, even though he knew he couldn't win, he still fought and got into such a condition, just because his pride didn't allow him to lose",
The instructor then looked at Ray and said,
"Nice work feeding him the pill kid, but don't you think you got too far with it? He would have to suffer a lot because of you. Because it is the first time and the dean favors you, I am going to let this go but don't dare you to do something like this again",
"If you do so, even mistakenly. Then remember, you won't be having a good time",
The instructor spoke and beckoned the staff to come and carry Ron to the infirmary. After all, now that Ray had fed Ron the lesser healing pill, Ron's condition got better and there was no rush to heal him.
The homeroom teacher turned around and looked at everyone looking at Ray with astonishment. Some had their eyes filled with envy, some with adoration, and some had a burning desire to grow stronger.
Looking at the reactions and seeing their gazes burning with the desire to grow stronger. The professor nodded at himself for his successful plan.
Then, he gave the rest of the instructions to the elite class and handed everyone a badge.
"This badge is your identity in the elite class, everything you need is in the badge. To activate it, drop a couple of drops of blood on it and it will automatically bind with you. It has the information about your dorms and what other things you could expect in the academy along with a full map of the academy",
"Now, complete the binding procedure and get going. You have the day off for today, classes will be starting from tomorrow",
With that, the homeroom teacher, disappeared as if he was me er there and left everyone to bind their badges themselves.
