Chapter 108 - Time (1/2)
”More than ten?” Draven said calmly.
”Then, how about my proposal: if you last less than that, you`ll be expelled right away.”
Draven's words surprised everyone, both students and teachers. Draven had proposed this condition not because he wanted to punish Evan for his self-confidence, but because he was curious about Evan's answer.
The teachers began to worry about the situation, because Draven, unlike them, actually had the right to do something like that.
At ”The Last Moon” not only the students had ranks, but the teachers as well. The ranks were based on their ”Power Level”. The more ends a magician's star had, the stronger he was, the same goes for the number of broken ”Barriers”. Teachers had a total of four ranks in ”The Last Moon”.
The teachers of the first rank wore white mantles, and had the sign on their back - I
The teachers of the second rank wore silver mantles and had a sign on their back - II
Third rank teachers wore platinum mantles and had a sign on their back - III
Teachers of the highest rank - the fourth - wore simple gray mantles and had a sign - IIII on their back
Draven wore a gray mantle and on his back it could be seen the sign IIII. He was a teacher of the fourth rank, such people were very few in the entire academy.
That was also the reason he was conducting this exam. In fact, he would have liked to do other things, but the head of the academy had asked him to do so personally, so he couldn't refuse.
”If I last less, I'll be expelled? Then what's your bet?” Asked Evan in response.
Draven calmly replied: ”Nothing.”
Evan smiled and mouthed: ”It's a shitty bet, but it doesn't change anything anyway. I agree.”
Draven nodded and said: ”More than ten you say, well, let's see.”
Whoosh.
The next moment their fight began. Draven swung his fist and instantly attacked Evan. The young man immediately turned around 90 degree and Draven's blow passed right in front of Evan's face.
Evan received no wounds and was able to dodge thanks to his physical strength and incredible reaction. However, Draven had no intention of stopping. When he saw that, his blow didn't reach its target he turned around and attacked Evan with his foot.
But, the young man wasn't going to wait either. Even before Draven made his second strike, Evan's ”Warp” had spun and mana gathered at his left hand.
Whoosh.
The white beam flew from his finger, but Evan wasn't aiming for Draven, he was aiming for the ground beneath his feet. He knew that for the examiner, such an attack was no stronger than a mosquito`s bite.
Bam.
When Draven's blow should have reached Evan, the ground beneath Draven's feet had been destroyed by the explosion, causing him to lose his balance for a split second. However, that did not mean that his blow was any less deadly.
Bam.
Draven kicked Evan in the stomach and sent him flying. For most students this blow would have been fatal, but Evan was still conscious and able to fight. What's more, you could say he let it happen on purpose.
