When the crowd started moving, I joined them.
To get to the arena, we first had to go onto the platform and then head behind it.
As we were going up the platform, someone bumped into me and then sneered, saying,
"Oh, sorry, I usually don't see people with a potential of one."
So arrogant...
She's in my class, so her initial potential is at most 3. Pretty full of himself for just having a 3.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to let useless creatures like her continue their behavior at the academy.
Because when the Parade of Spirits begins, the closer a person's spirit and nature are to the seven deadly sins, the more likely they are to become food for spirits and create a sin spirit.
I need to get rid of these weeds, by reform if possible, by elimination if not.
Deadly sin of pride...
I hate this sin, so I'll crush your pride right here.
Ignoring the girl who bumped into me and the quiet laughs of others, I went up the platform.
Then I went behind the platform to the arena.
The arena wasn't well equipped, just some weapons leaning against wooden poles.
Signs of wear and past battles were visible in the dirt arena, but it seemed to be in the process of being repaired.
I think someone with earth element is responsible for maintaining this arena.
"Alright, kids, choose your weapons."
Most people went for the weapons, but a few didn't. They're probably mages who've already found their magic.
Against my usual habit, I chose a spear to see how much my skill with it has improved.
By absorbing the energy from that spear, I've been able to increase my skill with it.
My current body doesn't have much energy, but if I manage this energy well, since I've combined with the Black body,
my energy density is very high. At my current level, one unit of my energy, if managed up to 60%, can be as effective as 10 units of ordinary energy.
However, it's worth noting that some people have special energy, and their energy tends to specific types of elements.
But the chances of someone with special energy in this class are almost zero.
"Alright students, the fight will start at my count."
The instructor's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
"3...2...1...Start!!"
With the start command, suddenly all participants attacked each other.
Naturally, someone attacked me too. It was the same girl who had bumped into me.
Good, you came to me yourself so I can cleanse your sin.
She had a dagger in her hand and attacked me wildly.
"Die, trash!"
Then she jumped towards me, raising her dagger to strike.
But with my free left hand, I delivered a strong punch to her stomach and said coldly,
"You're too arrogant."
The girl coughed up some blood and jumped back, holding her stomach.
She put one hand on the hit area and angrily, showing her teeth, said,
"Who do you think you are to lecture me?!"
Without responding to her words and with just a cold look, I attacked her with the spear in my hand.
I tried to strike her with a flick of the spear, but she pulled back...
I don't know how, but my body moved on its own at that moment and I grabbed the spear with my other hand and hit the side of his leg with the back of the spear and then attacked him with the tip of the spear with the intention of killing him.
I tried to control my body, but my body moved on its own and aimed the spear at the girl's neck.
"Nooo!!"
Just as the spear was about to pierce the girl's neck, she suddenly disappeared.
Oh, I totally forgot about this.
Professor Carmen specializes in dimensional magic, teleporting students right at the moment they're close to death.
The instructor definitely mentioned this, but I probably didn't listen.
Anyway, now I have to defeat the rest of the participants
