Quentin took the field and the fight was on. Today this hatred would end. Both sides were giving each other frightening looks. But without a doubt, Quentin was much calmer. Quentin had switched to Green Lightning long before Clara.
Clara rushed forward and swung the dagger in her hand. At the same time, her eyes began to shine, revealing her true potential.
Without waiting, Quentin drew his sword and met Clara's dagger. Then, in a swift move, Clara drew her dagger and slid herself between Quentin's two legs. At the same time she cut Quentin's legs with her dagger.
Clara stood back up on one knee. Blue lightning flashed from the bottom of her eyes to the pupil of her eye. Together with her green lightning base and her Awakened Potential, Clara's ability to Repel was perfect.
"I'm afraid it's not enough, Clara."
As Quentin's words rang in Clara's ears, Clara looked at Quentin with an expression of disbelief. Then she looked at his legs and saw that there were no wounds. As she began to feel the air ripple, she looked into Quentin's eyes. A bolt of lightning travelled from the top of his eye to the pupil.
"I am now an Energy Master."
***
The scene was thrown into chaos. For the second time in the 200-year history of Red Lightning Academy, an Energy Master had appeared. From Grade 1 to Grade 5, everyone would now endeavour to learn how to do it from Quentin.
"Are you curious about the ability I acquired when I switched to Blue Lightning, Clara?" said Quentin. Clara was still looking at him with disbelieving eyes.
The pressure of the air began to increase. Clara began to sweat. Quentin raised his hands. The earth started to crack.
"Energy explosion!!! "
" Flames of the Earth!!!! Wake up!!! "
Quentin and Clara were trapped in the flames as flames erupted from the earth. The heat from the flames was melting the earth and making it difficult to breathe. No one could see anything, but they understood something. Quentin had also used the skill he had learnt in Green Lightning.
An explosion sounded from behind the flames and the flames that reached to the sky disappeared. Clara lay on the ground in agony and Quentin was not even a speck of dust. Even though both of them were at the head of Green Lightning, the difference in power was still too great. Quentin had won. And he did it without any difficulty. The fight was over as it had begun.
"This anger is over, Clara. Just like seven months ago, I've humiliated you, and you will remain my friend. Whether you like it or not." Quentin said and picked Clara up in his arms and proceeded to take her to the infirmary.
Still, people could not hide their astonishment. The power they had just seen was the power of a demon from hell. They felt the power of the flames. Even though they were seeing the Energy Blast for the first time, they didn't need to think too much to understand what kind of power it had, and it was only thanks to one person.
Those who saw the person who took the field this time were surprised. Even Kai couldn't help but be excited. The 3rd graders had a look of disdain in their eyes. Even with his jet-black hair and jet-black eyes, the person who took the field was clearly an assassin. The black robe he wore was also a proof of this. There was a katana in his scabbard, but the surface of the sword was not visible.
Jace's appearance on the field excited the first years. Geniuses always came out of that house. There was no chance it was rubbish. His appearance alone was proof of that.
As the 3rd years sent their condescending glances at Jace, Jace looked past them and looked over to where the 4th years were. A rare smile formed on his face and he spoke.
"I challenge Alan."
***
Jace's voice was loud and everyone heard it. People didn't understand why he had made such a stupid decision. There was no sound for a while. Just the sound of Alan's footsteps.
When Alan faced Jace, people couldn't believe that Alan was actually going to fight. Alan was the greatest genius in the fourth grade. He was in 10th grade and would have been 5th if it wasn't for the World Tournament. At 51 years old, it was thought that he would finish school, because even now he was Half-Step Purple Lightning.
"I heard that you won first place in the tournament in the 3rd Grade 1st Kata. Everyone thinks it's luck, but I don't think so. No, you have something like that. You are not normal. You are strong. At 16, you're strong enough to reach the centre of the Red Lightning. "Alan said. There was no change in Jace's face, but on the other hand, the audience didn't even dare to breathe. There was deathly silence among the 3rd years. Even Emma and the others didn't expect Jace to be in the centre of the Red Lightning. Only a few people were normal. Like Kai, Michael, Alan, Lena. These were the people who had already learnt about Jace's power before.
"I accept the duel offer." Alan said and took out his sword.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Jace didn't draw his sword. Instead, he waited with one hand sheathed. Everyone knew this behaviour. Jace never drew his sword unless he was really forced to in a fight, and so far no one but his housemates had seen it. Now he wasn't going to show the sword directly.
"So you're not going to take your sword out. I hope you won't regret it!"
Alan rushed forward. His speed was incomparable to people in previous fights. Although such a field was not normally suitable for those in the red lightning, it was suitable for assassins.
As Alan's sword moved towards Jace, Jace suddenly disappeared from where he was. Was it because he was moving too fast? No, it wasn't! That was his gift! The only one he had with his father. The real reason Michael took James as his pupil! It was their blood!
When James was young, his family was destroyed by the Slayers. Even though he was alone, his blood was always with him. And when Jace was taken to the Orange Lightning, this ability became his. Dimension Shifting. Also known as teleportation. This was the main reason Jace could win fights without using his sword.
Jace disappeared from where he was and reappeared behind Alan. He swung fast, but Alan wasn't slow. He wasn't weak. He ducked and dodged the punch. He sent his elbow behind him in the same way, but Jace teleported again and appeared above Alan's head. Alan's eyes flashed as he swung his fist and a red bolt of lightning shot from the bottom of his eyes. As the punch came at Alan, a sound that only Jace could hear came out of Alan's mouth.
"Jade Eye!"
Alan's speed increased and he suddenly turned and punched Jace. Jace's fist hit Alan, but Alan only slid a few centimetres off the ground. Jace flew into the sky like a bird. Alan stabbed his sword into the ground and looked up at the sky.
"Rise of Atonios," Alan said and jumped 300 metres off the ground. As Jace looked up at Alan in the sky, he saw that his left eye was completely green. Both the pupil and the whites.
'Jade Eye. That's the skill he acquired in the green lightning,' Jace thought.
Alan turned his feet skywards and pushed through the air, once again performing the Ascension of Atonios.
Jace teleported through the air once more as Alan moved quickly towards Jace. This time it was above Alan where he appeared, and like the other times, Alan could not escape. Dimension Shifting was a powerful bloodline ability. The fact that Alan stood against it already showed his ability.
Alan took the blow and crashed into the centre of the field. Jace teleported before he hit the ground and moved to hit Alan again. Alan was not someone who could be defeated with simple moves.
Jace swung his fist at the smoke and entered the Smoke.
There was no sound coming from the Smoke as silence fell. Out of the frightening silence came a sound like a roar.
"The Art of Green Lightning!!! 1st Lightning!!!! Sky Explosion!!!"
A green lightning bolt came out of the smoke with Jace. As the green lightning moved into the sky, Alan came out of the smoke.
"Green Lightning Art!!! 2nd Lightning!!! Bright Cloud!!!"
A green lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck Jace. Lena tried to jump onto the field, but Ariel rushed forward and blocked it. Getting involved in a fight like this could result in death. Especially for someone who is only at the Beginning of Red Lightning.
"The Art of Green Lightning!!!! 3rd Lightning!!! Imprisonment of Memories!!!"
Two green lightning bolts shot out of the earth and struck Jace. Another green lightning bolt shot out of the clouds and struck Jace, but they didn't let go of Jace. The lightning bolts held Jace like a prison.
"It's over. If anyone in this Academy can be punished by their memories, it's you, Jace. When you give up, I will end this nightmare."
***
"Where am I?" said Jace. He was actually in front of a transport building. He knew this place very well. This is where he lost his father. He was just surprised to suddenly open his eyes here.
BOOOM!!!
As an explosion reached Jace's ears, he slowly moved towards the place of the explosion.
When his steps stopped, he came to the explosion site. His father and the other man were fighting. Jace was dying in a corner. When he looked at himself, he realised how helpless he looked. He was stupid enough to do something stupid like that. As he brought his hand to his own body, he heard a voice in his ears.
"It's all your fault."
James appeared in front of Jace. You'd have to be blind not to see the hatred in his eyes.
"I'm dead because of you," James said. Jace looked at his father. His emotionless face was slightly disturbed. Of course it bothered him when his father said things like that.
"Why were you even born? Your mum died because of you," James said. No matter how cold-blooded and uncaring Jace was, tears flowed involuntarily when the truth hit him in the face. His emotionless face was slightly distorted and filled with regret. His slowly reddening eyes marked the most intense emotions. Regret, anger, fear, all of them. He had to learn a lesson from his mistakes. Could he do that now?
"You're a loser! You think you can do something with just your potential?!?! Did you save your father?!?!?!" said James. Jace fixed his old eyes on his father. As he looked at his father, a skull appeared on his forehead and his hand suddenly pierced his father's heart. His hand moved so fast that even he didn't realise what he was doing.
"You are not my father."
As the fake James faded away, the real memories remained. James healed Jace. Then he began to turn to dust. His pupils looked at Jace just seconds before he died. Those eyes were definitely not filled with hate. No, these eyes were filled with pride! James was proud of his son.
***
As the people waited impatiently to see what would happen, one of the Green lightning bolts from the Earth broke off. The skull appeared once more on Jace's forehead and the remaining two bolts disappeared. Jace opened his eyes as Alan stared at Jace in amazement. He was falling. He was falling from the sky. In an instant, he reached for his katana and teleported.
"Ashes of the Shattered Realm!!!"
Jace was ten metres behind Alan when he appeared once more. Alan had a look of disbelief in his eyes. In Jace's hand was a strange katana.
Alan's eyes widened. He looked like he couldn't accept that he'd lost. When he fell to his knees, the sword mark on his stomach revealed itself. Then he fell flat on his face.
Jace breathed a sigh of relief when he realised he had won. But suddenly he brought his hand to his forehead with the pain that entered his forehead.
'I overused the death mark, damn it! I didn't think it would be this hard,' he thought, and then he collapsed like Alan.
The spectators were at a loss for words. Even Kai didn't know what to say. He didn't expect such a fight, but there were two things he was surprised about. One was the skull scar on Jace's forehead and the other was that Jace really won. With his defeat of Alan, he had become the strongest person among the 4 classes. He was the strongest Red Lightning Academy student to enter the World Tournament.
Lena, Kevin, and Jack ran to Jace while Ariel came to Alan with some healers. The healers took Jace and Alan while Ariel, Kevin and Jack went with them.
Lena turned round and gave Jace a look. Then she turned round and looked at where the first years were. Her gaze flushed red throughout the fight, but it finally made her decision clear in her mind.
"I challenge Kai Lane."
