Chapter 18：Earth-Crushing Technique (1/2)

This time Yman activated the Rapid Leap ahead of time.

He knew that...if he was a little bit late of using his magic, it would bring him no good.

He already estimated the right timing to use his Rapid Leap. And also, he estimated the distance. However, he was not 100% sure that his timing would work. A light was bursting on his feet when he leaped and dove to his right side in a very quick motion using his Rapid Leap.

The two boulders passed through at the hairsbreadth of him. His body rolled two times on the ground and he pushed abruptly his body to stand.

He glanced at the cliff edge and noticed one of the boulders at the very edge.

He narrowed his eyes and ran towards the other side of the cliff where he saw a group trainee ganging up against their enemies.

He needed to run fast. The two mini golems were chasing him. They sometimes throw boulders.

”Rapid—Leap?” Mai muttered.

”That is the same ability used by that beautiful girl, right?” Bob questioned.

”Yeah, and looks like, Yman was lucky enough to get that skill too. Although, Miss Almina was much better in executing the skill,” Mai replied.

”Is that skill, that great?” Chloe asked.

”Of course, every skill is great, but it depends on the one using it,” Mai answered again.

”Oh, T-that is—right,” Chloe mumbled after hearing Mai's reply.

Almina breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Yman was able to avoid the attack.

”B-Best friend, w-why are you smiling? And why is your face becoming red?!” Beside Almina, Kesha was flustered while staring at her.

”H-Ha? W-What are you talking about Kesha?” Almina awkwardly touched her face.

”Your face is getting red! Are you okay? You're not sick, are you?” Kesha worriedly questioned her.

Cal said but Kesha did not hear it.

”N-No no-no, I'm fine...” Mina reasoned out.

On Kesha's shoulder, her System Deity was sitting on it and was firmly holding her clothes to avoid falling on the ground. He could fly though.

The other trainees were still fighting with their intended target. Some of them managed to defeat their foe and some in equal strength and currently in a stalemate. While some had chosen to give up after they had experienced how difficult it was to kill this enemy.

The other magicians had the upper hand with their magic while the others had a bad match up. It depends on their type of magic if they had the upper hand or not with the enemy they would be facing.

The group of Kiko managed to kill the two enemies out of three, and now only one was left.

Thud! Another monster's attack was defended by an earth shield.

Hah...hah...hah... each of them was gasping for breath.

”Kiko, finish it now, Bro!” Marco shouted to Kiko.

”Y-Yeah!” A bead of sweat trailing down on his handsome face. At the corner of his eyes, he saw that pretty girl Almina Amulet. He felt warm when he noticed that she was looking towards their direction.

Kiko felt motivated and a smile leaked on his handsome face.

Shing! A sound of piercing an air was generated when Kiko lifted up his sword in a quick action using his well-toned arm's muscle.

The tip of his sword pointed to the sky while his hands firmly held the handle. Suddenly, his sword was engulfed by surging fire.
