Chapter 33 - Conner's turn

Fausil who just impressed by Grey's power, had a big smile in his face, Fausil recognized Grey's power, the other cadets all amazed by their fight, everyone were had a little fear of Grey, as he fought and earned a Hero who is in the top 100, and they first handedly experienced the fight with him.

The Instructor were also speechless by the performance of the Grey.

Grey returned, now Fausil thanked and appreciated all the cadets for their hard work.

He individually gave pointer to every cadet, that he found during fighting. It was actually great help to cadets.

"For you, you need to learn combat arts first, there is no point in having that much power, by so far you are the strongest youngster I have fought, but you only have strength, you need to hone it" well more or less Grey also know this, he just didn't took a step to learn combat arts. 

But this will push to learn the techniques and arts, Jihoon park has a complex emotions, he thought he was better is close combat but there is someone who is way better than not just him, but also all of the class. 

Fausil offered a proposal that he would teach him personally, Grey was overjoyed because if he can fine tune the skill usage it will increase his power further, and he might be able to pass the current limit of Golden Body and advance further.

Suddenly another group of people came inside the arena, there are bunch of cadets, with a new face, but they didn't wore the instructors uniform. They looked stronger more or like Fausil. Their identity is non other than one of the top 100 Hero, Mr. Conner a powerful figure from one of the top 10 guild in the world. 

Like how Fausil gave special instruction to class S2, Conner was assigned to class S1, the top class in the academy for the first year.

Conner is a powerful Hero with the Gift to control fire element to extreme, not just controlling, he will also merge himself with fire, making him formidable. 

Before Fausil arrived here, Conner took the class and went to open ground, to freely demonstrate his powers, and after then they came here to the arena, which the class S2 were currently present. 

Conner is not a bad man but he wont be friendly like Fausil, Both of them are not like friends or Rivals, they know each other because they are famous in the Hero industry.

Well Conner didn't expect that they would be using the arena now, a coincidence, but he just planned to spar with class S1 to demonstrate how it would be to go against a top ranker Hero.

Fausil, also told them to use as they have just finished the sparing. all the class S1 are had a little bit of offended look on their eyes, because they don't want to show their power Infront of other, when there is only a month time left for the Academy inter fighting competition.

Realizing this, Fausil suggested all of the S2 to move to snack park for relaxation, But Conner has another thoughts on this, he told everyone to stay and watch the sparing. class S1 cadets most of them are unpleasant about this, they do not want to show their power in front of class S2.

A few stated this to Mr. Conner but he refused by telling "I understand your concern but, what I want to show them is my power, they might already grasped a power of top level Hero from Fausil, but they also want to see what an elemental Hero can do, right?" others can't refuse now.

Because S1 is the top in the hierarchy of UTOPIA, backing off will only look disgraceful as all of them without exception, are from Nobel and high family or clan, Pride is all they had in common mostly.

Conner just smiled and stated, that the cadets will come after of their choice, without further ado, the justice girl of UTOPIA(self justice) throwed herself in the arena. she is non other than

Ho Doo-Na, the last daughter of Ho Soo-Ho the great hero(sword god), her Gift is Beatification, this is not just animals from earth but rift beast also included, apart from Demons, she can transform into any beast she killed by herself.

 From the young age she trained with his family members including Ho Soo-Ho, Ho Mon-Chul and other strong members of her family, so she is a very good combatant. Surpassing other with just her fighting without using her Gift.

She used her mixed martial arts, that she herself adapted, or we can say she herself created for to suite her Gift.

Ho DooNa used her gift, she partially turned her body to a monkey like beast, the origan monster is named blood sucking ape, which has the rubber like body, internal organs also like that of rubber with very great elasticity and strong fiber.

Her martial arts utilizes different forms and Bizarre movements, and currently she is having a sword for weapon, a traditional sword, Ssangsudo[1]. she didn't gave any name to the martial arts style.

with her abnormal strong spring like muscles she launched herself towards Conner, a weapon slash aimed at his neck, a predictable but fast cut!

In the nick of the time before the sword met Conners neck, he just elementalised(fire) his neck in slash line, which she will cut, the cut just passed through his neck, everyone amazed by this, they thought his neck might be fell of, because of clean cut.

But this is nothing but a child's play for Conner, he is so skilled and efficient to utilize his power, Unlike Fausil, who was just evading attacks from cadets, Conner created little birds of fire and sent towards Doona.

She aerobated and evaded those attacks, but it just continues to follow her, she just pierced one of the fire bird, just to see what happens, but to her surprise the sword tip started to melt! she is using her own equipment for this spar, which was made from a hard metal excavated from one of the rift that Ho Moon-Chul raided.

She faced powerful fighters, in her family, even they weren't able to damage the sword, she changed her limbs of a feline monster which was faster than anything, the name of the beast show leopard. With the Blood sucking monkey's reflex and shadow leopard.

She is on her four limbs running like a beast dodging and try to pinch the firebird before it damages, she successfully pulled some of attempts without destroying her blade, but most of them damaged her sword and reduced it's size.

So, she went again toward Conner, she can't find any opening, she continuously evading and looking for opening, so she had a plan.

She has power of a beast that had the power to invisible for a short amount of time, her plan is to make her look like tired and use that power to attack him. 

So she executed this plan, but to her surprising he elementalised himself and the attack failed, with no attacks connecting she confused, she just contemplated her compatibility with her opponent.

Well it is 10 minutes and well he is satisfied with her performance he tried to stop the sparing, in that split moment he let his guard down, maybe one second, in that split second, she used her strongest beast transformation, which was artic beast with great strength she throwed her sword and punched him.

She thought she had him, but he just standing like a stone, Conner really impressed by her execution of skills and power! He just smiled and ended the spar with her favor. he didn't give any pointers like Fausil. But Doona is a sharp girl, she will find it on her own.

Grey was surprised by their fight, but his blood is also boiling to fight her with his full strength! he had Adrenaline Rush! 

Fausil noticed Grey face of excitement, but he thought, he might not win her with his current skills, even though he has the higher power reserve.

Well moving to the next cadet right now, Baek Namgung, came inside the arena, introduced himself, but Conner know Beak clan and he also aware of the heir Namgung.

Nambung's Gift is thunder related, superior than the other girl that Grey had the fight. 

He used his power to resonate with the fire element of Conner, to attack him, but conner just used physical strength against Namgung, stating his weakness! now everyone take note of his physical weakness!

He is flustered, he created a net with lighting element. he tried to capture Conner, but he is faster than what Namgung thought, Conner closed his distance to Namgung and captured him, this ends the spar.

Conner doesn't want Namgung to show all his cards, because he already exposed his weakness to others.

and one by one every one in the S1 impressed Conner and Fausil and class S2. Even though both are S class there is a little difference clearly in between them.
