Michelle took Adam's firm and rough hand which made her feel safe and secure but threw it behind her mind thinking that her brain was playing a trick on her after the coming close to death "student who did not even get his first kill keep me safe".
she thought a light smile appeared on her face.
supporting herself up she looked at Adam wanting to ask many questions like ,how he move under the pressure?,why he didn't move early only waited for this moment? but all the questions needed to wait as the fight did not end she looked at Adam one last before turning to face the wall that youth was catapulted to.
on the other hand Adam was scared the shit out of him.
"f**k i should have ran away"
Adam regretted as a new massage formed on his retina.
[Skill Enlightened Copy has been deactivated]
it's no use crying over spilled milk as Adam now only had two choices one fight with all his strength and pray that he come out with his life still intact second die fighting.
latter having the highest probability of happening
removing the debris fall on him the black haired youth stood with face clearly showing how annoyed he was.
"brat i thought of leaving you alive but now you want to play the hero so be it" stretching his hand out with the white particles at his palm.
seeing it Michelle panicked knowing the black haired youth have taken the fight seriously and now they don't have a way of it.
she turned to Adam thinking of at least saving him but when she turned only to see Adam smiling.
"have he lost it" said not knowing if she should cry or laugh seeing the adam smiling.
but in his view the thing he was wishing from the start happened.
[Skill Enlightened Copy has been activated]
the pressure that was on him disappeared as if the weight in his shoulder were removed.
he was not the least happy as he saw the youth charging up his attack.
BANG!
the floor cracked at he sped up with his rings floating around him.
The youth was surprised to see it but what surprised him the most was that the two rings floating around Adam transforming into a spear with two heads and other being a helberd.
[Kraken Style First Form: Born Kraken]
Adam used the first form of the strongest technique he had under his belt but deep inside he felt that the wind element was not gone cut it as he summoned the strongest and most destructive element under his arsenal.
[-900]
his face paled ,starting feeling light head as his mana dropped from 1000 to just 100.
slightly losing his grip over his spear but still holding on it with all his will.
Adam performed Kraken style with red chaotic enargy surrounded the spear and helberd.
The chaos element showed its strength as just summoning it has put enormous pressure on the field.
the black haired youth felt the danger that attack carried as he stopped the offence and created a barrier with white particles.
Adam heard multiple ringing sounds inside his ears without caring for it adam slashed diagonally with all his strength behind it.
BANG!!!
a huge explosion happened as the whole academy was woken up by it everyone was in shock and some were even curious about whom these men were so daring that they attacked the place where the strongest man in the world resides.
shockwave that assaulted everyone including Michelle as they were thrown off meters away.
Some students were thrown away so hard that the wall broke as some were embedded in the wall and other students who had strong bodies broke through the wall and were lying unconscious outside of the area.
Ring..ring ..ring..
hearing the sound of explosion multiple Ambulance and multiple instructor's rushed to the location.
only after reaching near did they saw the whole building was destroyed.
"hey look there some one is moving"one of the meds said as they rushed to the persons aid.
Instructor Koukai was lying there with his body all tattered with wounds and blood flowing from his head, covering almost the entire left side. It did not stop there, as his left hand was ripped open with his elbow bone sticking out and his hands turned backwards unnaturally.
When they saw koukai and his state, what they felt was pure terror towards the person who made him like this.
because even though instructor Koukai was a hero whose core focus was only on speed, which was formidable in his rank and ranks above, his strength and endurance were nothing to scoff at.
At his peak, he could lift a 100-tons load on his shoulder and walk with ease, and if he forced it even more, he could lift a 200-tons load without problem. and when it comes to endurance, which may be equal to or even higher than his strength.
but this unknown existence who came out of nowhere not only defeated him but also put him in a miserable state.
Med students shaked their head forcing them out of daze as they quickly administer first aid by closing his wounds then Immobilize his injured left hand area with bandage.
One of the medical students that was administering him pulled out a Syringe with a green substance, which he then stabbed into Koukai's heart without an ounce of hesitation.
the green substance was painkiller and neuron activator when injected in his body he was jolted awake.
opening his eye with pain all over his body he sat up with difficulty as the pain from his broken arm was overwhelming even after painkiller shot.
with his remaining arm Koukai points at the destruction.
"Help..phew..then" with great difficulty Koukai said before losing consciousness falling back but was caught by the med students.
the med students and other colleagues of Koukai felt proud and emotional hearing his words.
even in the state of near death he was concerned about others safety as it showed what kind of hero
he was.
With new determination in their eyes, everyone who saw Koukai was concerned about others, started to work hard after sending him to the medical team.
Slowly and steadily, patients started accumulating at the medical team, which started to overwhelm them.
The wounds on their bodies varied from a slide scratch to a sharp rock stuck to their bodies with broken bones sticking out, which was more than enough for normal humans to say goodbye to their loved ones and go on a new journey in the afterlife.
the only reason they survive this life threatening wounds were because they are awakened beings who bodies are molded by mana to survive under dangerous conditions.

Deep in the debris
Michelle, who was bend backwards with silver-gold mana coming from her hand that was holding on to the debris from crashing down on her, and the students that led behind her.
Michelle's body was more than strong enough for her to survive the falling debris, but the student behind her did not have that luxury.
a slight frown appears on her as she looks like a stick holding onto weight far greater than it can handle as it slowly starts to bend then eventually break.
behind her laid Vikram, Alexander,lily,Julia and many others as all who were knocked unconscious after the confrontation and some even before.
.
Michelle felt voices and foot steps outside, but she could not call them out because
First Her voice can't reach their ears from under the debris.Second As she caught the falling debris in an awkward position, she could not exert her peak strength.
Only by using her Mana did she hold on this much, even though it was slowly losing its effect as her face paled.
When she felt all hope was lost, the debris in her hand started to lose weight.
understanding that help has come Michelle started pushing with the little strength she could muster in that awkward position.
With the weight lessening every second, Michelle was back on her feet.
"Now no more waiting, Michelle said as he applied more mana and pushed the debris of her blasting it into the sky.
the workers who saw the debris moving upward knew that the person underneath was doing as they moved away and pulled others who did not notice it back with them resulting in zero casualties as the debris was blasted of the roof.
when the smoke cleared.
Michelle stood in the middle with her chest going up and down vigorously with her face pale as if she saw a ghost because of shortage of mana in her body.
the med rushed in moving the unconscious students one by one.
Michelle slowly climbed out the debris moving towards the meds with the pale face with only thought in her mind was to rest.
she saw students being taken out and rescued underneath the debris.
suddenly remembered the firm hands and broad shoulders that she saw before all hell let loose.
"where is that student?"
she started to search for him in the student that where taken way but she could not find him in the crowd even after she asked the head leader of med team for him.
fear creeped into her heart as she thought of a possibility to which she responded with rushing into the smoke that was not cleared until now with a serious face.

Deep Inside
Adam was lying unconscious with the most peaceful face as if he was lying on the soft bed not on an open ground with his weapons changed back into rings lying next to him.
before the unconscious Adam there stood the black haired youth with his hand out stretched with cracks appear on the barrier that was meant to shield him from the attack.
BREAK!
when the barrier broke apart slowly revealing the condition of the youth.
his shirt torn apart with a diagonal wound open on his chest that was bleeding.
when touching his chest he for the first time in many years felt blood on his hand that was not others.
looking down at the cause of it his eyes shined with excitement not hatred not killing intent but pure unbounded excitement.
"Hey stand up do that attack again"
youth said with excitement but no one replied to his call as Adam was unconscious with no sign of waking up.
suddenly his head turned to a direction that was opposite to the direction where adam was lying unconscious.
"sorry we can't continue to enjoy this moment as he is giving me that stare so let say good bye until we meet again"youth said to unconscious Adam.
as he stepped a few steps back with as a black rift opened behind him in which he stepped into as he vanished with it.
Michelle appeared when the youth vanished away with light heart she saw adam lying there seeing which she rushed to him.

Hours Later
"where am I"Adam thought as he slowly opened his eyes to see another unfamiliar roof.
when his focus shifted to his hand which had four vials connected to his body that injected blue substance into his body.
first Adam panicked but then he remembered that he was at the academy so he calmed down turning his head to the window where he saw a breathtaking view.
Michelle sitting on the chair with her legs crossed with her hand resting on her lap holding a book.
as it was time of dawn the sunlight slowly highlighted her curves giving her the most majestic look as he unconsciously said.
"So beautiful"
even though Adam's body was that of a young 18 years old but his heart and soul was that of a 31 year old adult man who was naturally attracted to mature women rather than having feelings for children of his class.
hearing Adam's voice attracted Michelle attention seeing that Adam had woken up,she closed the book then removed her glass from her face with slight sigh she asked "are you feeling well".
Adam noticed specs in her hand as he was asked a question.
in normal conditions no awakened beings have any defects in their body as it is slowly molded to form a perfect vessel that can handle mana to output massive power and even if the person had any defects after awakening they slowly turn back normal even more so grow stronger.
but seeing someone as strong as her use specs there were only two reasons.
First a skill that overly strained her eye that she is forced to use it as the damage caused by skills were hard to heal.
Second was aesthetic.
as Adam was in his own thoughts not replying to her she asked again "are you okay should i call the doctor"
hearing the voice Adam was pulled out of his thought "No...No... I am fine but what is this on my hand" Adam was really curious of what it was he did not need to waste any time as Michelle answered his question.
"that's a mana injector, a machine made by humans who stood at the peak of human technology, Its purpose is to make a human recovering faster, as it inject liquid mana into your blood stream that way absorption rate of mana increases by four times than normal"Michelle finished her explanation
"Peak of human technology" Adam said with many possibilities of using this machine form but the next word that comes out of Michelle pours cold water over his plan.
"under no condition can we misuse his machine as it has strict lines and conditions to be met for it to work"
hearing Adam throw every idea he had a moment ago in the back of his mind.
seeing the change on Adam's face Michelle sighs not knowing whether to laugh or cry at this student who thought of using the machine that was made by the greatest humans in technology as a tool for him to grow himself.
"what happened to him"
Adam asked
Michelle understood who Adam was referring to as "him" with heavy weight on her chest she said.
"when I found you there was no one there so the answer is he escaped"
hearing it Adam was greatly disappointed and felt fear at the same time as this unknown threat that now loomed over him.
"you were found unconscious with you palm ripped open and your mana exhausted other than that you were fine your healing skill kicked in when mana returned to you but still we need to be cautious so meds put bandage over your hands, now that you're awake i will be back to work "Michelle said as she move to door before leaving the room she said something.
"rest well"
as the door closed Adam was lying there alone.
he looked at his left hand which was covered in bandage slowly clutching it with new determination shined in his eye.
SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
the black rift opens up inside a mansion as the black haired youth walked out of it.
"how was your trip?sir" a man dressed in butler uniform asked the youth.
with an excited smile the youth replied
"very interesting"
