As he met the strike head on,he was pushed back a few feet. He got up to his feet quickly and teleported Infront of Barak. Barak caught off guard couldn't counter in time.
Roy stabbed him. His katana going through Barak's palm since Barak evaded last second. Even with Time reverend Roy couldn't gain the upper hand.
"Ugh, you ant. Just you wait." He said as Roy tried to take out his sword but no awail.
Barak kicked Roy straight on his chest. Sending him flying.
Thud!
He got smashed into a wall. When he got up he saw Barak rushing towards him. He quickly opened a portal behind himself and slid his palm through. The portal opened behind Barak.
Roy materialized a sword snd threw it. Barak again felt a fluctuation but was too late to react. The sword Peirced his leg.
He lost balanced and fell. But he suddenly appeared behind Roy. "Your not the only with space element." He said as he stabbed Roy's chest.
Roy caught off guard,couldn't do much. "Time dialation." He quickly evaded the strike.
But unfortunately before the ability activated. Barak feeling the fluctuations, sent a dagger flying in 2 directions.
One hit Roy after he deactivated the ability since he didn't see the dagger coming,it was camouflaged with the environment
Stab!!!
Roy's tigh was penetrated. "Ugh..."He let out a pained groan.
"If you were a gold core,then I could have never countered your abilities." He said as he teleported Infront of Roy.
He stabbed his swords forward. But all he met was Roy's sword near his throat.
"Only if you were smart enough, you wouldn't have fallen for such a basic trick." He immediately teleported,but unfortunately Roy did too. The sword Peirced Barak's throat.
Then Roy opened a portal and they both teleported to a different dimension. Where time was slowed.
Roy took of his mask. "So... cough... it's you. We should have confirmed the kill. We have failed. Seems like they won't be happy." He said.
"Who is they." Roy asked getting a bad feeling.
"Haha...cough...your fate." Said Barak as his life was slipping away.
"By the way,I hope you like my gift. I left it with the black haired girl. Should be delivered in a few seconds... cough." Said Barak using his last bit of power left.
Roy's facial expression looked like he ate shit. He immediately left the dimension. He appeared again in the Food court.
Where he saw Rachel. He made eye contact. "Time dialation" he muttered as blood followed from his mouth,due to over using his abilities. As overpowered they were they took a huge toll on Roy.
He teleported near Rachel, activated his nano chip,which still worked surprisingly. Then he found a bomb which was ring shaped under her shoe. He held that.
And teleported. He fell halfway through in the food court as he was at his limit. After seeing he was far away. And seeing the ring turn into a time stopped explosion slowly expanding Infront of him.
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep our prom-.. cough.." he was interrupted by coughing out blood.
"T-ime.. resume" he said.
Boooomm!! A ear piercing boom ran in the hall.
What accompanied it was Roy's limp body falling out of the dust cloud.

"Where am I??" He asked confused.
"We meet again son. But I hoped not like this." Said William.
"You are in the middle of life and death. The system has awarded you with your birth given gift. Don't waste it. We will meet soon. When you reach gold. I'm proud of you son."
As William left Roy found himself in a room.
"You were too reckless student." He heard Kiro.
"If I was a little late,you wouldn't have survived. Thank Stacy for it,she had to shorten her life span by a year to save your ass." Said Kiro.
Roy stood up as he was attacked by a massive headache forcing him to fall.
"Stay down ,your injuries have been healed. You will be discharged after a few hours. Don't worry you are on the cruise ship. Everyone is fine. Your cover didn't blow. If your wondering who am I , I am Stacy the primary healer of the association." Said Stacy as she left the room.
"How much is the damage." Asked Roy knowing he might need a whole plastic surgery.
"Oye,she didn't shortern her life for no reason. Your back to normal actually even better. Your physical body has improved." Said Kiro.
"Ho-" Roy was cut of before he could completele his sentence
" You can't pay her back in anyway,well there is one thing you can do. Her son Damian will be joining the Royal academy as a student. Keep him under your protection. The association can't do anything as they wish in the Academy." Said Kiro.
"You can tell her rest assured,that I'll protect him. What about Rachel,was she told about my situation?" Roy asked.
"She was notified that you are fine and that you were the one who saved everyone." Said Kiro.
"You will be dispatched after 2 hours. Rest till then." Said Kiro
After he left,Roy was left alone.
This voice caught Roy off guard.

....
After reading this Roy couldn't believe what he just read. He could have such a power. Even if he just had 10 percent manipulation. It meant he could create his own abilities and use shadows cast by the environment as fuel. So no mana is even required.
He left his excitement on the side and wondered what the system was. How did his father know about it? What did he mean by a birth given gift? Why was he given such a gift? The mysteries just keep on adding.
He didn't have time to think about them. He got up and changed into his clothes. Took out his mask from the spatial ring. And ran towards the ship.
This time he tested his shadow abilities. He turned into a shadow and ran as fast as he could unnoticed by everyone.
Back at the hotel
Rachel was sitting worried and still under shock. These people were kids and seeing some students laying dead on the floor with gun shots on their bodies wasn't a good sight to see.
Ring!!!!!
Roy rang the door bell. He didn't directly barge in as a shadow since he knew Rachel would be scared.
Rachel immediately got up and opened the door, seeing Roy she jumped and hugged him tightly. "Don't ever do this again,dummy" she said almost sobbing.
"Woah, young miss control yourself. If you want to we can continue this-" he was cut of by a flying kick to his stomach.
"Wha-t are you saying." Rachel all red slammed the door after verifying he was more that fine.
"What a tsundere." He said to himself as he got up and stood near the door.
Then they received a notification.
'the event has been cancelled and we will be returning back home tomorrow.'
No one was sad or disappointed since they already lost all the energy and hype. Alot of them were traumatised. But some weren't. John and Ronald couldn't stop vomiting after remembering the scene.
Loki,Samuel, Rease,and Fade were doing fine. Samuel was already treated by the medics and he thought maybe Rachel will like him because he stood up for her.
Albeit,he was wrong. Indeed Rachel's impression of him changed but it was far away from love or anything of it's nature.
Everyone started to pack their belongings and were told to head towards the cruise ship. The tournament will take place but after some time, since keeping it now wouldn't be appropriate for the families of the deceased.
So everyone boarded the cruise ship and went back . The higher ups knew the media wouldn't let this slide so will the smaller guilds.
They had to prepare themselves for the backlash.
