Damion grabbed the student by the face and yanked roughly, using his superior strength to pull her up. She panicked, but remembered to use her Ability, pushing out with her hands and forcing Damion back with her Telekinesis.
Damion felt a force hit him on the chest, but he barely budged. Even so, the force helped him pull harder, and he was able to throw the girl out of the cockpit quickly.
The girl's eyes widened in horror as she fell from the 8 meter height face-first. She pushed out with her hands again, trying to slow down her fall with her Ability, however, it was too weak, and she ended up falling on her arms heavily.
She let out a loud shriek as she looked down, horrified. Her bones stuck out of her flesh in a sickening way, and blood was rapidly pooling beneath her.
Tears fell from her eyes like twin waterfalls, and her face turned pale in the next second. But by this time, Damion was already seated in his new stolen Mech, staring at the system screen seriously.

Damion held a lever firmly and pulled to the left and back, then with his right hand, he pulled another lever back, resulting in the Mech turning around slowly and coolly.
He didn't know it, but the blue of the Mech took on a slight purple shade as Dragon's Authority seeped into it, shocking the students around and forcing them to take a step back.
Just like Lyra, they felt scared, wanting nothing more than to run away as fast as they could. Regardless, they didn't, activating their Mechs and preparing for combat.
Damion found several Mechs facing him, and he straightaway knew they had a tacit agreement to deal with him first.
This didn't come as a surprise to him though, he had literally dealt with a Mech using nothing more than his agility and physical strength, how much more when he had a Mech to work with?
This was probably one of the craziest days for the students of the Advanced Exosuit Prototyping Class. They had come for a normal test as usual, but were instead about to gang up on someone they all once looked down upon, and worse, they didn't have the courage to actually face him.
[Dragon's Authority- Lvl 4]
Damion pressed a button, and the sticks in his hands activated, two blades of pure laser energy coming from it. They were tinted with a purple glow, mixing with their flame like color and granting it a unique look.
Damion, triggered by the brazen actions of the students ganging up on him, controlled the Mech to charge at them, taking the initiative to attack.
He piloted the Mech smoother than before, controlling it without having a headache.
It seemed like with him using the System earlier, he had gained an intimate understanding of it, therefore granting him more fluidity in his control.
He piloted it like he had been doing so for decades, and when he came face to face with his first opponent, chaos descended.
The students had emptied their ammo during the first test, and the Mechs weren't equipped with any other large caliber or long ranged weaponry. Things were done like this to reduce the amount of damage students would receive, while also reducing the possibility of death.
No one knew if a student would mistakenly misfire and blow up another student, causing their demise.
Damion feinted with his laser blade, and the student fell for it. He redirected his arm, straining the joint of the Mech to pierce through the abdominal region of the opposing Mech and destroy its core.
"Dead," Damion whispered, pulling out his blade and running off to his next victim.
In a few exchanges, another Mech fell, its core destroyed by a laser blade piercing through.
"Dead," Damion muttered again.
Two Mechs assaulted him this time, one from behind and one from his front, and Damion had no choice but to fight both at once.
The sound of Mechs dropping akin to flies was like the sound of the grim reaper at work. They didn't dare face Damion one on one, and those who did found themselves on the floor, defeated.
The students who fell forward had no way of leaving their Mechs, because the hatch was pressed firmly against the ground, and this only helped Damion take care of potential sabotage.
The two students within their Mechs summoned courage and swung out at the same time, aiming for his core and legs.
Damion's hands moved swiftly, and he smashed a red button by his side. The two Mechs suddenly got pushed back by a seismic shockwave from the sudden blast of energy from Damion's Mech's feets, and one of them landed on their butt without meaning to.
The thrusters sputtered and went out, smoke rising from its mouth as it ran out of fuel. Damion cursed inwardly and skidded across the ground, coming to a stop, then with unsurprising agility he barreled forward, towards fallen Mech and sliced at the head.
Another laser blade blocked Damion's and pushed back, but the Mech piloter hadn't taken into account his momentum, stumbling backwards instead.
Damion grunted and twisted his hips, generating a strong torque that propelled his torso forward, swinging his laser blades in sync at the two Mechs afterwards.
Two metallic heads rolled to the ground before their bodies did the same, falling with a resounding thud.
Damion froze, then slowly lifted his gaze, scanning his surroundings.
He was shocked to see more Mechs on the ground than he had dealt with, and he raised a brow, shifting his gaze to Lyra and Gordon with a hint of curiosity.
"Just as I thought," Damion murmured, taking in the sight of the carnage.
Lyra and Gordon had left just two more students to be, making up the five number mark. But to their shock, Damion began to walk towards them, his intent clear to all.
Gordon frowned at this and got in Damion's way, raising his weapons threateningly in response.
"There are only five students left just like Teacher asked, let the…"
Before he could even get a chance to end his sentence, a laser blade drove through his Mech hard and fast, and it went offline, dropping to the ground heavily.
