Everyone from class B stood before their Combat Instructor, Mr. Vlad as they were in an open space and ring like structures surrounding them, and everyone was on their training combat suits.
The sun had already climbed down from its high position as Evening drew closer and expressions of all kinds were on the students faces as they found themselves outside.
"I know you all are already asking yourselves questions on why we are out here, well that's because as of today they will be sparring matches between each and every one of you, this a test to see how hard you have trained and to see if you can put up a fight against your opponent.
And also, to test how good you fight both in coordination and execution of skills, that's if you have any, so that's why we are using the outdoor training grounds for this exercise" Instructor Vlad told them.
"I guess we get to test the skills we purchased out right?" Levi asked as he nudged Zack by the side.
"I guess so" Zack replied.
"All your names have been reshuffled and participants will be chosen randomly and when your names are called immediately step up to the rings, if you fall off the ring your opponent wins or you surrender still the same. All I can say is all the best. At least with a victory or loss this will teach you a thing or two" instructor Vlad said and his assistant Clara stood beside him as she held a tablet in her hand.
"Alright I will hand over to you now" Instructor Vlad said to Clara by his side.
"I know" She replied with a jaded look in her eyes.
"Victor Chris Foldyard vs Jake Peterson, Elena Kris Krosswood vs Brad Lucas Bight, and Selina Vale Zethrene vs Kathrine" Clara called out and the students whose name were called stepped out from within the crowd as they ascended the rings, taking their positions opposite each other as they took their attack stance and looking at the other with uncertainty in their eyes.
"Alright begin!!!" Instructor Vlad gave the green light and it begun.
"Bang"
a boy was sent out flying from the ring as his opponent a girl had landed a powerful punch technique on him and her hand was covered in a blue energy which danced in harmony around her hand.
On the other ring a girl was knocked out by a kick from her opponent and on the other ring the boy surrendered to his opponent, and so the first round of the sparring match had ended and Miss Clara moved on to call the second set of participants.
The second round ended, then the third set, fourth set and then the fifth set came as the students showcased their abilities and their various skills and techniques.
"Owen Brown Valledor vs Noah Zander, Daniel Ken Adrian vs Lue Ming and Alex Bale vs Greg Vale Valnord" Miss Clara called the fifth set and they walked out and took a ring to themselves as they faced off each other and taking their attack stance.
"Begin!!" Instructor Vlad instructed.
Alex's Side.
Alex took his stance as he stared at his opponent, his opponent was a boy with a brown short hair and black eyes as he too was ready to attack.
(I just have to be careful because I don't what my opponent might throw at me) Alex looked at his opponent with care then he heard Instructor's Vlad.
Alex released his aura almost instantly and lighting crackled all round him as he took his stance to dash forward as he clenched his fists and staring at his opponent his opponent took a defensive stance.
"Lighting blink, Accelerate"
In the blink of an eye Alex left the spot he stood.
(What the hell) his opponent was shocked at his speed and Alex appeared behind him.
"Lighting Fist" Alex's fist crackled with red lighting as he launched his fist towards the boy from behind and the boy felt something wrong and he looked back and his eyes shrunk as he saw a fist covered in lighting headed towards him.
With a last resort to defend himself he brought both hands in front of him to take the incoming strike heading towards him at lighting speed.
Alex's lighting fist tore through the air as he sent his fist towards his opponent and with a loud bang Alex's fist collided with his opponent.
His opponent was pushed back from the rebounding force of the attack, but the boy managed to keep himself steady.
(His attack is so strong, like what the heck) The boy looked at Alex who stood with a serious gaze as red lighting crackled around his fists.
"You know your attack is really strong for a warm up, but I think is high time l step up" the boy smiled and this took Alex by surprise as his opponent seemed to be studying him and trying to evaluate his attack power as the expression his opponent's face changed.
"I think it's my turn" the boy took his attack stand and took the stance of an athlete runner and he released his aura which was somehow dark blue in color and the look in his eyes were replaced by a cold one.
"Cursed Speed" And with dash, he shot forward towards Alex like a spear.
"What the bloody hell" Alex was shocked as he saw his incoming opponent who dashed towards him at an insane speed.
"looks like he underestimated his opponent" Instructor Vlad sighed as he looked at their battle.
"Cursed energy exploding fist" the boy named Greg threw his fists which was covered in a darkish blue energy at Alex.
"Whoosh" Alex immediately dodged to the side and Greg's fist distorts the air as he missed Alex.
The Alex countered attacked with a punch and Greg ducked and retaliated with an uppercut and Alex made a backflip as he evaded the uppercut and landed on his feet.
"Thunderclap zap" Alex sent lighting from his hands as the lighting moved in a zigzag manner heading towards Greg with accelerating speed.
Grey jumped up as he escaped the attack which struck the spot he stood formerly.
"Cursed energy explosion" Greg stretched his hand towards Alex and the floor beneath Alex began to glow darkish blue and Alex sensed the danger and he jumped out of the spot and at that instant a mini explosion occurred as it erupted from the floor.
(that was a close one) Alex landed in a safe spot as he kept his eyes on his opponent.
"Cursed energy spike eruption" Greg immediately placed his hand on the floor as from his hands the darkish blue energy left his hands into the floor.
And then around Alex on the ground were darkish blue glow spots in the shape of circles as big as a football.
(Crap) Alex sensed something was wrong.
He took to his heels as he used Lighting blink and from within the glow spots on the floor, spikes made of a darkish blue energy began to erupt from the ground and following closely behind Alex who ran at a speed almost close to that of lighting.
(is this what they call a sparring match, its more like a death match) Alex couldn't help but think about it as he ran as he escaped the spikes which erupted from the floor behind him.
"accelerate" Alex's body outline glowed orange and his speed increased 2x faster than his original speed and he outran the erupting spikes.
(His gotten fast) Greg was surprised at Alex's increase in speed.
Alex changed his direction as he charged towards Greg who was taken unaware by Alex's change in dirction as he was surprised.
"lighting bullet" From Alex's index finger, he shot lighting in the form of bullets towards Greg.
(How does he have such a skill) Greg dodged the lighting bullets with the aid of his Cursed speed skill.
"Dodging huh, accelerate" Alex eyes glowed orange as he set his gaze on the lighting bullets, he shot which were heading towards Greg and the lighting bullets got covered in an orange glow.
The speed of the lighting bullets increased threefold and they tore through the air like spears heading for their target.
"what the heck, how come the speed of these lighting bullets increased" Greg couldn't help but curse as one of the lighting bullets barely missed him.
Alex stood as he kept firing lighting bullets from his right index finger which was covered in an orange glow as Greg kept evading the attacks.
Zack and Levi watched as Alex went against his opponent Greg.
"That Guy's name should be Greg Vale Valnord" Levi said to Zack
"That ability of his, I think that ability is cursed energy manipulation" Zack said as he looked at Grey's attacks and his aura.
"isn't Cursed energy manipulation an S-rank ability?" Levi asked
"Yep it is" Zack answered Levi
"but it looks like the skills we all purchased really comes in handy" Zack smiled
In a swift motion, Greg turned as he changed his path as he came at Alex.
"Flying cursed Chains" From Greg's hands flew Chains made of cursed energy and these chains whipped towards Alex who was in shock over such a skill.
"What the hell is that skill" Alex leaped back as one of the chains struck the ground where he stood before and a cloud of dust erupted.
Alex squinted his eyes as some dust particles entered his vision and without notice One of the chains came hurling at him.
"What" Alex was shocked and the chain struck him across the chest.
"Argh!!" Alex groaned in pain as the chain struck him, although they were wearing their protective training combat suits but that didn't mean you won't feel pain.
The force of the attack sent Alex backwards as he rolled over the floor before he came to a stop.
Alex stood up from the ground as he had dirt on his face and breathing heavily as he took in oxygen from the air.
"How do you feel about that you Low life, just because you have a sliver talent that does not place you on the same level as me, if think you can give me a hard time think again!!" Greg grinned as his true colors had shown.
When Alex heard this, the look in his eyes changed, as they took on a serious and cold gaze and he took on an attack stance and looking like an athlete ready to run.
"What people like the likes of you know how to do is to down talk on people and hate that" Alex was furious and the look in his eyes were cold as he looked at Greg and when Greg saw the look in his eyes, he was taken aback.
And Then Alex remembered Eric's words and this infuriated him more. Around his legs, red lighting crackled as his body outline was covered in an orange glow and in the count of a second Alex dashed towards Grey as his speed had increased five times than that of before as he was accelerating at top speed.
"what in the world!!!" Greg was shocked as Alex came before with his fists covered in lighting flying towards him and there was no way he could evade on time, left with no option he decided to defend the attack with his hand
"Bang"
And Alex's fist collided into Greg who was shocked beyond belief at such power and strength behind his attack.
Greg was pushed back and his hands were trembling as a result of blocking Alex's attack with both hands
"That Attack was something" Greg panted but Alex was giving him a chance a to rest and Alex dashed at him again.
"Not again!!!" Greg was alarmed as Alex ran towards him with intense speed.
"Accelerating Fists!!!" Alex appeared in front of Grey and both fists of Alex got covered in the orange glow and also, they got engulfed in red lighting and the lighting crackled around his fists.
"Well take this" Like a spring, Alex released both Fists as he threw punches at a speed which didn't seem possible for the ordinary human.
"Cursed Energy shield" Grey summoned a shield made of Cursed energy to defend against the attacks but the relentless punches didn't stop and the force of the punches kept pushing him back despite his shield.
Meanwhile Greg and Alex's sparring match had gotten the attention of almost everyone including instructor Vlad.
"How come he got such skills already" a girl was surprised
"His attacks are lighting fast" a girl spoke
"do you think that shield would hold long enough against such an attack?" Levi asked Zack
"I doubt it will, because look" Zack replied to Levi as he pointed at Greg whose shield made of cursed energy starting having cracks.
"damn!! how come he managed to purchase such a skill; am not sure I can hold on anymore" Greg gritted his teeth as cracks spread all over his shield.
"Crack!!" and with a Lighting fast punch, Alex broke through his shield as his eyes held anger and Greg was absolutely shocked.
Alex fist smashed into Greg with a loud bang and Greg was sent flying back like a doll off the ring.
"Thud" And Greg landed on the ground hard and Alex taking Victory as he panted heavily and trying to catch his breath
Daniel's Side
"Gale exploding fists"
"Bang"
Two clones of Daniel attacked Lue Ming with their fists as their fists were covered in a Light green energy and Lue Ming managed to block the attack but it put a toll on him as the attack power was intense.
(A sliver rank talent like me going against a Gold rank talent like him is not something easy to go with and his attacks are strong and well-coordinated, his a really tough opponent to go against) Lue Ming was currently in a downhill position as Daniel had the upper hand.
Suddenly the two clones of Daniel disappeared and the real Daniel dashed at Lue Ming and coming before him taking Lue Ming by surprise.
(When!!!) Lue Ming was shocked.
"Seconds Freeze" Daniel eyes glowed golden yellow and Lue Ming's Body outline also glowed the same color and then Lue Ming suddenly froze as he could not move his body.
(what the!!!) Lue Ming sensed Danger and from front Daniel shot his fist forward towards Lue Ming who was frozen in time and his fist connected with Lue Ming's Chest and with a bang he sent Lue Ming off the ring as he skidded on the floor.
"Phew, finally its over" Daniel breathed a sigh of relief as he was victorious in his sparring match of his.
And Over to Owen's Side, Owen had sent his opponent Noah, with an Uppercut off the training ring as he was no match for Owen.
"the Winners of the fifth set and round of the sparring Match are declared as follows, Owen, Daniel and Alex" Miss Clara announced.
"The fifth Set has now ended and now the sixth set and round begins, the participants are as follows, Charlotte Jonathan Herat vs Mona Zach Nightwind, Zack Grey Lyon vs Anna Frost Bane and Von Levi Aster vs Austin Trevor Brooks" Miss Clara called up the following participants.
"its our Turn" Levi grinned as he said to Zack
"Yeah sure is" Zack took a step forward as he made his way to his ring and his opponent doing the same.
Zack took his position on the training ring opposite his opponent and his opponent doing the same, then When Zack looked at his opponent.
(its her) Zack was taken aback when he saw her, it was her the girl with the white hair as white as freshly fallen snow and beautiful blue eyes with a luster like a gem and her beautiful pink lips giving her a pretty look with her small nose and her beauty was an unparalleled one and her ample blossoms and apples with a modest body size giving her an outstanding look.
Zack seemed to lost in a trance as he looked at her and having the feeling of knowing her for a long time and wanting to meet her again.
"isn't she the untouchable flower"
"Wow she is so pretty; she is my role model"
"She is very beautiful and her chests are sight not to miss"
They were whispers between the students as they all stared at the girl with white hair and blue eyes.
Then like a flash the image of the woman from his dreams appeared in Zack's mind
(Not again, why her?) Zack could not understand this.
"Alright get ready" Instructor Vlad Voice echoed.
Everyone took their Attack stance.
"Go!!!" And it began.
