The participants were all escorted into a portal where they were separated from one another. Their goal is to kill the monsters that face.
The participants started fighting for their lives and used whatever spells they new, Mages desperately used offensive spells.
Psionics used their Telekinetic powers to throw objects at the monsters.
All of them were fighting for their lives, but one participant was having the time of his life.
This participant was Darius Blackburn, he held back most of his power so he could enjoy the battle. In his right hand was his black sword
Darius POV
SWISH!!!
The sound of a head falling to the ground filled my ears as I killed the last of the monsters. Soon more appeared.
They were all ogres, I threw my sword around using me Telekinesis to decapitate them all and than it went back to my right hand.
The bodies of the Ogres hit the floor as I looked at my sword. It was black and sharp, I forged it though Alchemy.
Werewolves showed up and I raised my right hand, a reddish orange magic circle appeared on my right hand and a wave of flames came out burning the Werewolves to death.
They all whined with pain and was turned to ash, suddenly I heard a voice. It was the voice of the headmaster.
"Those who have successfully defeated the monsters shall now move on to the battle with seniors. Fret not you will be healed and brought back to full strength." Said the headmaster.
I was transported to an arena where there was a crowd, in one side was the participants and the other was the students of the mage academy. My opponent was a tall orange haired dude.
I could feel his killing intent, I couldn't be bothered to remember his name, only that he was one of the top ten strongest students.
"So your Darius Blackburn huh, do you know how many lives your grandfather took. He killed so many people, some of them were dear to me." Said the orange dude with tears streaming down his face.
The crowd felt sorry for him, he was about to speak further but I started attacking him with a Dark Fireball.
He narrowedly dodged to the side but I was too fast for him to react and landed a punch on his face which sent him flying.
The orange guy went to the wall and caused a huge crack on it, the crowd was stunned such a display of power.
How disappointing, I expected more from a senior. Must be because I'm too strong, I was walking away but I sensed a growing aura behind me.
I saw the orange guy getting up, his fists being covered in flames.
"Do you think I'll go down with one punch, I trained day and night for this moment. The moment I get to fight a Blackburn, people look down on me due to my commoner status but I kept going.
Now I will prove myself by BEATING YOU!!!" He yelled out and charged towards me with both fists raised high.
His aura took the form of a gorilla, his fists neared and I grabbed both of them and started crushing it.
The orange guy screamed in pain as the crowd watched with mouths wide opened fearful of what was happening. I applied only a bit more pressure and a loud crunch could be heard.
The sound of the orange guy screaming in pain filled everyone's ears, he was about to speak but I shot a mana blast at his throat to destroy his vocal cords.
This battle could only be won in two ways, one is that they surrender, two they are knocked out.
The orange guy can no longer surrender as I destroyed his vocal cords, and he can't pas out due to the pain I'm going to inflic on him.
I raised my hands and shot red lighting out of my fingertips, the orange guy tried to surrender but could not.
This went on for a few hours until he was on deaths door, he was a human torch and his orange hair was no were to be seen.
I raised him in the air using my Telekinesis and he started whimpering and crying, most of the crowd slowly got sick and some were vomiting.
"Nod if you give up." Said me as if this was just any normal day.
With some difficulty the orange guy nodded and the referee with a shaky voice declared that I was the winner. I drop him to the ground and walked off.
Healers ran past me giving me a look of fear, they started healing the orange guy who's eyes never blinked as he was definitely traumatised.
I walked away and thought about the future, due to my noble status I was able to get some VIP seat where an android tended to my needs.
It gave me some Pepsi and I drank whilst watching the battles.
POV END
Once the practical exams were over, the results came in alongside the leaderboard. Darius was at first place and second place was none other than the daughter of the rulers of the Federation. Melony.
She was a powerful Light Mage who was perhaps the only one who could give Dairus a good fight.
They were given an introduction to the inside of the academy, it was huge and there lots of staircase with cameras.
The first class was Alchemy, Darius was at the top of this class with Melony coming second.
Second class was magic training which was only for mages not Psionics. There was actually a fight between them in the hallways and Darius stopped them.
The reason why was because they were interrupting his reading, they instantly stopped fighting when Darius told them to stop as they remembered how Darius beat that oranger haired guy up.
Darius had both Psychic powers and Magic, normally he would be harassed but due to his power and reputation no one dared to say anything.
The third class was Psionic training, Darius also came out on top.
There were others classes that Darius came out on top, this was a result from his training and constant reading during these four years.
As a result Darius didn't really need to do that much hard work, he mainly focused on communication with his soldiers who were gathering intel in a cargo ship.
Darius had plans to overthrow the Emperor and take his place.
But first he had to grow stronger than ever before, Crawford told him that the Emperor was the strongest human being to ever live.
So there were two things Darius could think of, the first was to wait till the Emperor died or surpass him,
The second thing he had to do was build up his army and technology, if Darius was to buy a huge amount of resources it would raise questions and suspicions.
So he decided to steal the resources m, under a different identity alongside his soldiers.
His soldiers were enhanced by Darius's blood, and were very deadly. He could also speak through them.
Right now it was the weekened and his classmates made do with their free time by hanging out with friends or training.
Darius on the under hand was planning a heist.
