Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 Light resistance

LUCAS WYKES

I get up ignoring the ache from my body. Arthur is out cold with the white of his eyes staring up at me. I probably shattered a rib or two with my.

'Wait I should give it a name element punch? No I'm not a pixie, vortex strike? Wait no... vortex fist!! oh yeah the whores... would fucking love that name.'

Satisfied with the name of my attack I grin looking down at Arthurs prone form. Sensing a shift in the atmospheric mana I sigh and pick up the teal blade that Arthur was using for our entire fight. 'Dawns ballad ey!! sheesh.. it looks like something a Sheik from Dubai would fucking own.' I suddenly feel melancholic thinking about how I would not be able to visit Dubai drive my super car and fuck hoes in Miami. I know my goals are selfish and all but, I deserved a reward after going through a lot of bullshit during my nineteen years of life on earth.

'Instead I got hit by a bloody damn!! truck and got isekaid!! But I will do it I will become more powerful and build myself a... nice little harem get a big floating castle and if I cant drive I'll... ride a phoenix in more than one way!!.' I chuckle slightly at my own hubris and lift Dawns ballad in the air. The blade is truly stunning I swing it around as I observe the fight between Tessia and Curtis. 

'Huh...' 

It seems that Curtis is not to bad of a mage. The young prince prefers wielding two swords and fights atop his bond like the jousters of old Earth. Tessia seems to be holding him back with ease however, even though she is grimacing from the ache her beast will must be giving her right about. I watch as Tessia goes down on a knee from one of Curtis's attacks.

'So that's the world howl?' I thought with interest watching as Curtis unleash his combo attack with Grawder. Now comes the interesting part. 'Should I....let her die today in order to prevent the threat that is the legacy, or should I spare her and watch her do stupid things that will lead to the continent getting sacked by fucking Agrona and his clan?'

Decisions, decisions. Arthur wont be happy when his girl dies and it might lead to him getting all emo. 'So, ha... I might as well help the fella out.' I sigh and activate thunder clap impulse one last time. In an instant I rush by Clive, who is absolutely getting annihilated by Claire Bladeheart. 

'Sheesh Jaime you have good tastes lad!!.' I think to myself as I wave at Claire while passing by. Moments later I see I see Curtis atop his bond ready to release his attack I cloak dawns ballad with my mana. Instead of stopping Curtis's attack right away though I decide to slow my pace.

'Its time to absolutely humiliate these plebs.' I have a certain hatred for good-looking arrogant pricks like Arthur and Curtis, its fellas like them who use to make fun of me in school. I want them all to say nothing because at the end of the day having "power" is all that matter in this world "no in all worlds" after all even back on earth millionaires, billionaires, politicians and other lofty individuals with tons of money had absolute power. I laugh as I remember the fact that my chance to have such power has long passed. But a new opportunity presents itself. 

'With mana and my previous life's experience of training and fighting in MMA I could achieve even greater heights in this world... I can even rule as a king if I wanted that's more power than any billionaire could ever dream of.'

I decide to increase my speed at the last moment the world goes slow as a balloon ascending towards the sky in the dry seasons, its shocking how fast I moving and how slow everyone else is. Professor Glory is shouting while descending with her mana beast I sense Arthurs weak mana signature but none of it matters I am in a world they cant reach now, known by all athletes of earth... but only a handful have experienced this sensation this natural power bestowed to humanity. 

'THE ZONE!!' 

My body moves without me giving it any commands with my brain, in instant I have already leapt to be slightly above Curtis.

I carve trough the blinding white light coming from Curtis and Grawder as if it where made of pastry. Dawns ballad emblazoned by three elements shimmers like a stary sky as it flashes forward to turn the powerful looking attack into nothing.

In the same moment I twist my bod slightly the prince of Sapin's eyes go wide in complete horror.

I fall deeper into the state of thunder clap impulse I carefully adjust my trajectory with wind magic this time, this also allows me to control my speed slightly so that I wont look like a jackass. I appear behind Curtis and his bond, I simultaneously strike them with a fist engulfed in flames the duo plumet to the ground like a comet. Out of man I use them as purchase and lip away at the last moment and land on the grass field gracefully.

 Exhausted from the fight with Arthur and the defeat of Curtis I take seat next to the collapsed Tessia with dawns ballad lying at my feat.

"Princess Tessia are you alright? She's collapsed one of you call the emitters who are near by." Professor Glory roared to a group of students I sighed in defeat she was slack jawed a moment ago now she's on full professor mode I look up at the sky with a bored expression on my face, then a shadow swapped over me. I looked up to see a red-haired girl in her late teens her face covered in sweat it was the leader disciplinary committee Claire Bladeheart.

"You... you beat Arthur!." I nodded with a bored expression on my face she shook her head in defeat and walked toward Curtis who was slowly getting up from the small crater him and Grawder had caused by their fall earlier on. Looking at Claire's back I call out to her.

"Bladeheart." She stops turns her head around with an amused expression on her sweaty face. As if she where expecting me to say something to her, it must be the inherent arrogance all nobles have. 

"I didn't beat Arthur." I say with a sneer. "I brushed away light resistance." 

With that I got up dusted myself off stored dawns ballad into my dimension ring and without bothering to listen to what Claire has to say I slowly walked away. I pass by a group of mages who looked to be emitters by the white robes they wore they where taking both Arthur and Tessia to the Xyrus academy infirmary. I see huge green owl and I decide to walk even faster. 

'Fuck that was bloody close.' I sigh inwardly exhausted from the battles I have few flash wound from Arthur's sword strikes but their all nothing but flash wound that will heal with time. I had already changed out of the body suit Venesy gave us to my battle mage uniform but I needed a shower badly. As I walked pass many students chatting with their friends some of the students were even reading books they had borrowed from the library. 

'Poor fools ha....they have no idea that the are bigger powers at play in the world they leave in.' Back on earth every lad every lass hell even the bloody-damn ] junkies in the streets new of the unfairness of the world they leaved on but! 'These people haven't a clue what the fuck!! is happening on their own bloody damn continent. I look at the happy faces of the students of Xyrus with no pity. 

'Its so naive to believe that you're safe in any world....'

Without realising it I was already outside my dorm room I opened the door hoping to ask Jamie to bring me some food from the dinning hall latter I opened door and said.

"Jamie I need a favour man... could you get me some food latter on... I know I know this will be the first and last time I ask you to do me this favour once...." I stare blankly at person seating on my...my bloody damn bed. Instead of my black haired cousin I see an old woman dressed in a grey conjurers robe and a black pointed hat. She is calmy seating on my bed while drinking a cup of tea. To my relief Jamie was currently speaking to her while seated on his bed.

"So my uncle Ottis told my father he could have the castle for himself." He paused and looked at me with look of pure accusation on his face. The old woman placed her tea cup atop the small grey wooden table that uncle Kevan had purchased for me and Jamie. Then the ancient woman opened her mouth. 

"Mr Wykes.... please take a seat."
