Extra Of The Magus Academy

BOOOOOM!!

Destruction tore through the air the moment the fight commenced.

Kellion's body crackled with crimson energy, causing his unruly hair to spike up and glow with a certain red lustre. The whites in his eyes turned black and his crimson irises glowed even brighter than ever.

All of this power was too much for the ground he stood on, causing the crater around him to widen.

"Hahaha! Show me something interesting, Seth!" He charged towards his calm adversary with breakneck speed.

Seth remained in his position, slowly building up incredibly dense blue energy.

The moment Kellion got close and sent his fist flying towards him, the azure Magia around him crackled, and his glowing eyes turned in the direction of the attack.

WHUUM!

In what seemed like a split second, Seth evaded the strike, which ended up causing shockwaves all around him. Many who watched this brief exchange gasped, shocked to see just how much power Kellion was packing in his punch.

However, Seth hardly showed any form of emotion.

His eyes simply analyzed his opponent's moves, and once he dodged, he prepared his own counterattack.

VWUUUM!!

Moving much faster than Kellion had charged towards him, Seth summoned a crystal-like blade from the energy that danced around him. The sword formed in less than a moment, and he positioned himself at the perfect flank before striking.

Within the same second, the blade descended

But—

CLANG!

"Did you really think I'd make it that easy? Did you that was my top speed?"

Kellion had stopped Seth's blade with a single hand protected by his crimson energy. Not only was he perfectly unharmed by the blow, but Seth's sword shattered a moment after it came into contact with his fist.

"I am pure destruction." Kellion scoffed. "Your sophistications won't do you any good."

At this point, he planted both of his legs on the ground, causing the area to rumble once again.

Then, he took a fighting stance.

"Roar: Hollow Fist!" He yelled, sending a punch into the air.

Seth already knew he wasn't in Kellion's reach, but he leaped back just to be safe. However, once the fist failed to connect with him, he let down his guard.

That was when a blow landed on his chest.

"Guh!" Seth slid back, feeling the impact of an attack he wasn't expecting. "What the hell?"

His calm facade was broken for the first time throughout the fight, and once he looked at the grinning Kellion, he felt even more of his stoic facade slipping away.

"Hahaha! That was just a greeting!"

Kellion launched even more blows into the air, causing Seth to grow even more wary as he tried to evade or even defend against the blows. He was able to avoid some of them, but without knowing the trajectory of the attack and their real speed, he couldn't properly prepare against them.

As a result, he was hit twice again.

'Tch!'

Sliding back once more, he brushed off the pain and kept his eyes fixed on his enemy.

'He's strong…'

It wasn't only Seth who had this opinion.

Everyone who watched was easily won over by just how impressive Kellion was. He had already landed three hits on his opponent, while the latter was yet to land a single one.

A particular spectator seemed more concerned than the rest, though.

'Oh damn… is Seth really going to lose?' Ash could feel a bit of fear clawing its way into his very hardened heart.

The whole reason he stepped out and made the two of them bet something was due to his confidence in Seth's overpowered abilities as the protagonist. However, seeing the way Seth was struggling against Kellion, he couldn't help but worry.

'Since he never solved the White Death situation, he didn't grow from that experience, so facing Kellion now is a bit… Now that I think of it, he might not win.'

After all, Kellion was currently relying on his Hollow Fists, a series of destructive attacks that distorted space and sent its ripples launching at a target. It was a difficult technique to master, but once perfected, it could badly damage—or even kill—unsuspecting individuals. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire

'Anyone can learn it too, but you need to have incredibly destructive abilities like Kellion here in order to affect space to such a degree.'

If Seth had been the one to defeat the White Death, he would have learned a lot about tricky abilities like this and how to handle them.

Unfortunately, he just wasn't at that level yet.

BOOOOM!

Seth's entire surroundings screamed with destruction as power crackled around him. Purplish lightning danced all over his fingertips as he pointed them at Kellion, who was preparing to launch another Hollow Fist.

Once Ash saw this happen, his eyes widened.

'No… don't tell me…' His jaws slacked as he witnessed the sight. '... He can use it already…!'

BZZZTZZ!

The incessant crackling of energy danced all over his body, all pulsating towards his right fist where he was getting ready to flick his finger. His left fist was supporting the right one from underneath, and his now purple eyes flashed with concentration.

There was a moment of silence.

Then—

"Take this!" Kellion yelled, launching his most powerful attack yet, a blow that sent tremors into the air itself as his destructive fist tore into another layer of space itself.

In response, Seth… flicked his finger.

Silence.

And then… there was a loud explosion in the middle.

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

Caused by the collision of two incredibly powerful ripples into the same fabric of space, the powerful roar of invisible force would have sent both sides flying away.

However, they both stood their ground.

Kellion still recoiled from his previous attack, squinting his eyes as he tried to spot his enemy so he could launch another strike to finish him for good.

Unfortunately for him, Seth already had that idea.

"Hey…" Seth's voice echoed right behind Kellion, causing a shiver to run down the boy's spine.

As he swiftly turned back, he already noticed Seth flicking his finger.

It was too late.

"... You're pretty good."

BAM!

The force hit him straight on his forehead, uprooting his feet from the ground as his body found its way to the ground.

Before Kellion realized it, he had crashed into his defeat.
