Extra Of The Magus Academy

'What the hell?!'

Kellion was genuinely puzzled at this point.

Out of nowhere, Seth had approached him regarding the rematch, and now that they were about to have it, he was withdrawing. If that was simply the case, Kellion might have let it go, but Seth also wanted to keep the twenty Spirit Stones that the former had painstakingly smuggled out of the dorm.

"Are you insane?" Kellion stepped forward, fists clenched. "Or is this some kind of joke?"

Seth's face remained stoic, as if he wasn't even listening.

Instead, he brought out a rope and attached it to the sack, swinging it over his shoulders so he could carry it like a backpack.

Kellion watched all of this with borderline confusion.

"Well… goodbye, Kellion. Good luck with your—"

WHOOOSH!

Without any warning, Kellion launched himself at Seth, energy bursting from his body the more he neared the lone boy.

Surprisingly, Seth remained calm even as the blow neared.

Then—

WIUNWIUNWIUNWIUN

—A loud, whirring sound blared from all around the two, causing Kellion to get disoriented for a moment. This caused him to slow down, granting Seth enough time to dash away and evade his assault.

BOOM!

The ground beneath shattered, but the noise was nothing compared to the growing noise of the siren.

'What's happening? Why is that sound so—?'

"Hold it right there! Who's that?!" A loud masculine voice called from within the Training Hall, his tone clearly indicating hostility.

'What?!'

It took Kellion a few moments to realize it, but he quickly discovered the problem the moment he recovered from his initial state of shock and his mind when to work.

'There are alarms on the Academy Grounds for when Magia is used… which causes the sirens to blare.' His eyes widened. 'Our security system in the Asura Spirit Academy is different from this, but I've heard of this before.'

The moment he chose to attack Seth with a reinforced body, he had triggered the security system of the Akashic Magus Academy.

Right now, the closest security officers were inside the Training Hall, which was he heard why the security personnel from inside. Within a few more seconds, the man would emerge from the building with probably a few more guards.

That wasn't all, though.

Patrol officers from around would be alerted to the sound and gather around as well.

'If they find me and figure out what was happening here… with the Spirit Stones and everything… I'll be in very big trouble.' Kellion's mind processed his situation extremely quickly.

Slowly, everything leading up to this moment made perfect sense to him.

"Seth Zephyr, you bastard! You set me u—!"

The boy he was talking to was not in front of him any longer, and he didn't seem to be in the immediate vicinity either.

'H-huh? He ran away already?!' Kellion's rage-filled eyes narrowed as he concentrated his vision and looked through the darkness. He quickly spotted Seth, and indeed he was running with the sack firmly strapped behind him like a backpack.

'So that's why he was dressed like that… It was to facilitate his escape!'

Kellion shook in fury.

'I didn't expect you to be so shameless, Seth! I thought you were upright and respectable… a worthy rival.' He gritted his teeth. 'Don't think I'll let you get away with this!'

Whooosh!

Kellion swiftly ran from his position, his eyes fixed on Seth as he made chase.

'Even without using a Reinforcement Spell, I'm still faster than you!' His thoughts echoed as he increased his pace.

The Curriculum of the Asura Spirit Academy was squarely fixed on combat.

As an example, while other Academies spent time teaching the profound and deep theories of Spells and Spirit Arts, those in the Asura Spirit Academy were training themselves to the absolute limit.

As a result, comparing the physical states of Apprentices in the Asura Spirit Academy to those of other Academies was foolhardy.

Their bodies were all perfectly toned due to the harsh physical training they had to endure.

Their affinity towards violence was unmatched.

SWISH!

Kellion ignored the winds that brushed past his face and focused solely on the target in front of him. He was already gaining on him, and even though the Participant Dorms were already in view, he was confident that he could reach Seth before the lad had the chance to cross over to safety.

'I'll make sure I get that backpack and also break at least one limb of yours!'

The chase continued, and just as expected, Seth was trying his best to jump over the fence of his Dorm and retreat to his room.

'Not on my watch!' Kellion increased his speed once again, his arm outstretched as he tried to grab a hold of Seth.

His first instinct was to get a hold of the backpack, but Seth seemed to have noticed this and quickly turned the backpack so the sack now rested on his chest while he ran. This slowed down his speed a little, but it also meant Kellion couldn't get a hold of the sack directly.

'Then—' His eyes settled on one more thing he could hold onto.

Something that would undoubtedly cause Seth to halt in his tracks and sent him into a world of pain while Kellion retrieved the sack and delivered the appropriate punishment to him.

"Get over here!" Kellion screamed, grabbing Seth by his flowing black hair.

Once he got a hold of it, he grinned and slowed down a little.

'I've got you!'

However, much to his surprise, the hair simply slipped off the running boy, almost like it wasn't a part of his body at all.

No… it really wasn't a part of his body.

'A wig?!' Kellion raised his brow as he stared at the wig and back at the student who had now increased his pace.

'He… he isn't Seth Zephyr!'

The white hair that gleamed softly under the moonlight made it abundantly clear who the fleeing snake of a boy was.

"Ashfelt Zephyr!!!"

That instant, Ashfelt leaped into the air, allowing the winds to carry him as he dove into his dormitory… completely safe from the stupefied Kellion.

"Haa… haaa… I… I was deceived.'

Even though Kellion was vigilant enough to make sure he wasn't chasing some phantom, and was also confident that he could catch up to his opponent, he was tricked again.

'Just as he hid his identity… he was hiding his true speed… until the last minute.'

For a moment, Kellion simply stood in front of the dorm, his face down as he clenched his fists in total helplessness.

Twice now… it had been twice now that he was bested by Ashfelt Zephyr.

'That bastard… I swear I will—'

"Hey! You there! Why are you standing over there?!" The voice of a patrol officer shook Kellion to his bones and he quickly fled from the premises.

He didn't realize that this 'officer' was simply a janitor stationed to clean up the dorms, and was just starting his night shift. Due to the adrenaline still rushing through his body, and the plenty of trouble he was already in, Kellion couldn't take his chances.

Instead, he ran to his dormitory and hid in his room throughout the night.
