Chapter 66：Fusing skills (2/2)

Seeing his face made Kiko want to vomit. It was what he originally felt before. That was also the reason why they ganged up on him when he passed by in the alleyway on that day of the evaluation exam.

However, after that incident on the cliff, his anger towards that person had reached the pinnacle of a mere disgust. And now sprouted a real animosity towards that person.

But after realizing that even that mere frog, an unessential comedic villain has almost killed him?! Kiko realized that he could not just let loose his cool.

And so even in the hospital, he practiced and invented new techniques. With his high level of control with his mana, he finally found a better ability for him. An ability that suits that person. An ability to grill that frog for good.

And now he wanted to thoroughly dispatch him.

Everyone was having surprised and unbelievable faces at the moment. Not all of them were smart enough to understand what happened in that instant. And most of them were overcome by deep emotions that wanted to scream that man's name.

”He-He-He's so coooooool!!!” Most of the trainees thought so.”

”Kyaaaaahhhhh!!!” Some girls failed to hide their emotions and burst into deep admiration then shouted on top of their lungs as their emotions finally wailed up.

”Kiko!!!”

”Coooool!!!”

”Marry me!!!”

”Please be my boyfriend!”

”One night is enough!”

”Two nights is okay too!”

”No, make it three!!!”

”No, daddy K' make me your baby!” Some random gay shouted in a flirtatious tone.

Screams of excitement overcome the whole training grounds at the moment.

”Woah! What was that?” Bob exclaimed in puzzlement of what or how it happened. That guy named Bren was KO'ed in just one instance!

”Kere boy, Yman bro, what was that explosion?!” Since the two remained silent, he asked again after calling their names.

”Ahaha. Must be his new technique. What do you think, my prince?” Keremi replied while showing a tired smile. He too had no idea why that guy named Bren suddenly exploded before his sword tip pierced Kiko's face.

Yman scratches the side of his face before opening his mouth, ”Actually, I failed to see the whole picture of the skill execution — but...”

”But?” Bob repeated.

”It must be some kind of — skill fusion.”

”Skill fusion?” Bob repeated in puzzlement as more question marks floated above his head.

”Hm, must be a combination of skills or techniques. Right, my prince?” Keremi explained.

”Mhm.” Yman slightly nodded. He really felt awkward about the way Keremi called him.

”So it's like that.” Bob in realization mumbled and added, ”But what kind of skills he fused?”

Keremi and Bob glanced at Yman. Who was now in between of the two.

Yman's eyes slightly narrowed.

”I'm not too sure, but, hm...” he stopped for a moment and thought, while slightly biting the tip of his thumb.

”If I made a guess, it would be his explosion ability with the addition of fire and wind element. And hid it in the ground using his earth element.” Yman explained.

”A-A-A land mine?”

”Basically. Fufufu. As expected of you my prince.”

”No. This is just my honest deduction but I'm not too sure if it was really the truth. Regardless, only the person himself knows the truth.”

Actually, this was just based on Yman's observation of Kiko's skill that he saw he used from that day on the cliff. And because he used some earth element ability on that day, he assumed he had an affinity for it. Then he used fire also. And the explosion happened from below of that guy named Bren. So it must be something like a landmine.

It was also known to everyone that Kiko had an Earth-Crushing Technique which is an explosive type of ability. Not just explosive but it also can cause an explosion. Although not a strong explosion, it would have different results if he combined it using his fire element.

It only means that Kiko delayed the explosion like a timed bomb.

But the problem comes, how he managed to delay the explosion? Or hold it for a certain period of time?

The only possible answer that Yman comes up with is...he coated it using a wind element. Only wind elements can do such. If it was water, then it will defuse the explosion instead. Earth and water was not a good pair, it shortens the water's time of manifestation. Because basic knowledge says: earth absorbs water.

That's why Yman assumed that Kiko also had an affinity for wind elements.

Yman suddenly noticed some realization. The mechanics and execution of combining the skills to create a new type of skills. Just like when he was executing his channeling ability. Maybe he could also do some tricks with his ability?

Not only the trainees were surprised at the results of the duel, but also the judges themselves. And even the officials.

”Ahaha. So that's the reason he did not choose a weapon. I thought he was just cocky. Hahaha. This kid is really an interesting person.” Instructor Torr exclaimed in excitement. He became more of a fan of Kiko's talent.

”Fufufu. In any case, although the fight I expected did not happen, the result is more than a good fight. Fufufu. I wanted to train him personally.” Beth declared.

”Heeehehehe. No. That kid should be trained by me.” Musk also declared.

”No way. That kid belongs to me. His abilities were more suited to be one of my students.” Torr joined the two.

They were really surprised by Kiko's skills. But because of excitement, they failed to voice it out.

The chief showed more interest at Kiko after such a domineering performance.

Mayor Chan and Principal Mar giggled in excitement as they thought, 'Middle Region Magic Academy will surely reach the top ranking on this year's competition with this person.'

Kiko's name resounded.

Almina who was tending on Kesha heard a loud cheering noise from the training ground. She looked towards the area and thought something interesting probably happened.

|Not only does he have high control with his mana, but he also has super-fast casting speed.| Yman thought in dismay.

Yman glanced at the blonde and surprised that she was having the same face. No reaction at all. Only nodded her head slightly. Probably, she appreciated Kiko's performance. Looks like she found a new friend.

After the unconscious Bren was brought to the medical tent, many trainees went next after Kiko's duel.

Some shouted as they won, adding more confidence in themselves. While some griefed as they lost but it only bore courage to make themselves stronger. Although some took it seriously and felt down. While their friends tried to liven them.

As more trainees finished their duel, Yman's turn came closer.

Sistela who was in standby mode a while ago finally woke up, she yawned and asked. Actually, as of now Yman and Sistela are still in 'resonance' state.

In standby mode, the use of battery and mana was being conserved and only a little of it would be spent. But it also means some of its features are in lock mode.

Yman could not show Sistela's form to others, she looked so funny. Although her head was cute, her body was awkward.

So he had to spend some mana and battery. And it also a part of her training in controlling mana by herself. After all, she will be the lever and Yman was a switch only.

'Nothing. Just some kind of a game.' He replied through a 'thought conversation'.
