Chapter 2 - Fuck that let's just get it over with

  Her explanation sounded way too made up and was doubted by more than 50% of the class. 'gods and higher demons? That's a load of bullshit', was what was going on in their head but there was no way to prove it to them so Aya Sensei didn't bother. After a few more talks on magic power and spells the class was dismissed.

  Arata's house was very far from the school and he couldn't take any public transport due to the fact that the school was in private grounds. Luckily for him, he could always teleport using his extra skill .

Day of the Tournament

  The day of the tournament had arrived and every student was placed in teams depending on their magic power. Students of extremely high magic power were grouped with students of low magic power in order to balance the scale. Each team consists of four students and is given a large floating crystal to protect.

  The battle took place on a floating Continent, while the spectators could watch them via .

   A Magic Spell normally casted by a group of people used for sending visual's and audio of a certain event for people to witness.

[No Requirements].

by lots of people>.

   "Before we start the tournament, we have a special guest amongst us today, the one who hosted this event, the one who gave rise to this very school, let's all rise and pay respects to our lord and savior, our god who saved us in our time of need, The Demon Lord Kalim." As the Commentator said this everyone immediately rose and bowed their heads towards a floating mansion, the same size as the arena.

Everyone bowed their heads except one; Arata Mitsugi.

  As the guards in the mansion noticed Arata's actions, they became infuriated and couldn't hold back their anger. "You there, how dare you disrespect the Demon Lord? You should be executed at once!!"

   "Fuck that; let's just get this over with." Arata said while giving off a signature look of superiority. As he said that, everyone had their eyes on him. The gaze everyone gave him was enough to kill a person but Arata was simply unfazed.

   "You brat-" the bodyguard was cut off by the demon lord himself. The Demon lord had added a new rule due to the disrespectful behavior from Arata which was that Arata would have no team in the tournament and that killing was allowed. The Demon lord also mentioned that if anyone other than Arata were to die, he would bring them back to life with his extra skill .

   an Extra skill that grants the user {Kalim} total control over life and death.

[Requirements: He needs to be stronger than his opponent].

   "Kalim-Sama has spoken. The new rule is now in effect." In that moment Arata's teammates had been distributed into other teams making it five members in each team against one. This new rule made everyone happy except for Arata's mom who was viewing everything via .

Before the battle started, Kalim had used on Arata to see what made him so proud and arrogant only to be shocked at what he saw.

   an extra skill that shows the user {Kalim} details of a person. [Requirements: Needs to see the person].

Name: Arata Mitsugi

Power Level: ???

Attack Power: ???

Defense: ???

Speed: ???

Magic Power: 0

Ultimate Skill: ???

Extra Skills: ???

Luck: Immeasurable

Weapons: None

Hierarchy: ???

   'What the hell is this? Magic power 0? How can one be this weak? Most of his details are inaccessible and what the hell is immeasurable luck? If he had that he wouldn't be in this situation, but now that I think about it he should've been executed on the spot for his crimes but he wasn't. What bothers me the most is his hierarchy. Normally people with a lower hierarchy than me would have their details visible before my especially their hierarchy but this kid is something else. I can barely tell anything about him. I'll have to see what he's capable of in the tournament.'

   "Let the tournament begin!" As they commenced the tournament, lots of people had placed barriers around their crystal via .

   is a spell that creates strong barriers around a target. Durability of said barrier can be increased by pouring more magic power into it.

[Requirements: Must say full incantation]

   "Whoa, nice move. Creating barriers to protect their crystals is really smart." "Yeah, that was a smart choice. Good to know that our donations aren't going to waste." People from town who were watching via complimented the students' actions.

   "Not bad. Smart move." So did the nobles and judges.

   'Humph. Nothing impressive here. One can easily shatter that weak thing, but it was still a smart move. Now, what will you do? Arata Mitsugi.' The Demon Lord thought to himself while waiting to see what Mitsugi would do in this situation.

   "Alright then, I'll take it." The moment Arata said this, one of the barriers protecting a team's crystal suddenly disappeared, leaving people shocked and confused.

   "What the hell? Where's our barrier? Did you take it down?" "No I didn't. I'll create it again."

. The student immediately made the enchantment and created a new barrier around their crystal.

   "Ok, ."In that moment Arata had put up a magic barrier around his crystal without making a single enchantment, once again leaving everyone shocked but the most shocked person among the audience was the demon lord himself.

   'What?' The Demon lord almost jumped out of his seat after seeing what happened before him. 'How? Making a barrier without a single enchantment isn't the impressive feat here but making one when I clearly read his magic to be zero. What's more is that the barrier he made is on a whole other level. No one here can break it, I don't even think I can. I can barely tell anything from it with my . This only happens when I read things or people way above my level. Is this- is this even possible?'

Name: Magic Barrier

Level: ???

Strength: ???

   "Alright, with that done I can finally have some fun. " Using his extra skill he instantly teleports to one of his opponents team. Seeing Arata suddenly appearing out of nowhere made them fret but after some few seconds of regaining their composure, they began to attack Arata.

   "Fire magic: Seventh Level, Inferno."

   "Useless." Immediately after Arata said those words, the flame magic completely disappeared. In that moment Arata used the same spell on them but on a far greater degree.

   "What?" Everyone who saw what happened was shocked at what had just happened before them. A talentless kid with little to no magic power just negated a magic spell with just a word. Not only that but he also casted the same spell on a far greater degree.

"Arghhh!" The students who had gotten hit turned to dust, not even their bones remained.

   "What? That's cheating. Is this even allowed?" The people who were watching could not accept what had happened before them.

   "No worries, demon lord kalim will bring them back even stronger."

The mass who were not happy with arata's display of power started to hope on the demon lord's power to save them some face but even the demon lord wouldn't interfere at a time like this.

   "Looks like the arrogant one isn't just a bark and no bite but is this little display of power really going to help him win this?"

  Meanwhile, on the other side of the arena, there were some other teams battling against each other. One of the team was being led by Gerald. Unlike other teams, Gerald's team didn't set up a barrier around their crystal, rather Gerald used his Ultimate skill to cast a more solid defense on their crystal.

   "You know, it's funny how I've spent most of my life thinking of a way to humiliate you and your family. I would stay up all night plotting but here we are. The perfect opportunity presents itself on a golden platter. Must be my lucky day." A tall guy with brown hair and pupils was the leader of the team opposing Gerald's and has always hated Gerald and his family. He is the first son of a politician who has been constantly humiliated by Gerald's father in political matters and for that reason, his father had raised him to hate the Aeidan household.

   "To think that after my dad had humiliated the sorry excuse of a noble, it would finally be my turn to humiliate that noble's son. Sad

really but like they say; the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Gerald's response to Simon struck him like a bolt of lightning which made him infuriated and he couldn't hold himself back anymore.

   "You'll come to regret those words. ." Simon immediately cast a Lv7 spell that sends forth a bolt of black lightning. This lightning moves twice as fast as regular lightning and is twice as powerful. It also possess a special property which enables it to paralyze its target for 10 seconds upon contact. In short, it was a powerful spell which consumes little amount of mana but the instant the lightning was cast, Gerald had already laid up a 10 wall barrier between him and Simon. The lightning successfully broke through all ten barriers but before it could reach Gerald, he was already behind Simon.

   "You shouldn't leave yourself wide open."

   "Who said I was?" Before Gerald could bring down his sword to cut his opponent, Simon used an extra skill . In that instant, Gerald spat out a mouth full of blood.
