Chapter 121 - Avrion Number one enemy

The purple clouds above the arena were starting to cover the sky. The arena's light quickly darkened as everybody's face was now covered in a dark shadow.

"What is that?" Kyle asked.

"I have no idea," Slyvia said.

Then they started to notice something strange, it was as if the clouds were all gathering in one spot, the clouds didn't seem to be natural at all, as if they were moving by someone's will.

Mathew was the first to notice what was happening with the clouds. They seemed to be all hovering and merging together above the centre of the ring. Not only that the dreaded feeling he had this whole time whatever it was, was currently in those clouds.

The clouds continued to merge until they formed one big cloud directly above the centre of the ring. Mathew looked down and noticed that every single one of them were near the centre.

"Everybody run to the side, now!" Mathew shouted as he went to pick up Slyvia and Max under his Arm and run to the edge of the arena.

Everyone listened to Mathews command. They could tell that Mathew was some high ranking official just from the clothes he was wearing and after seeing him demonstrate his skill, they knew he was a person who was knowledgeable. At least more knowledgeable than them about what was going on.

Everyone spread out in a different direction, heading for the outskirts of the arena.

Suddenly

*Bang

A loud sound was heard, a bright shining light came out from the clouds and in an instant, hit the ground. The force was so powerful it caused the dust in the arena to sweep up and blind everyone.

After the loud bang, a strong force of wind flowed. Everyone was doing their best to just stay on their feet. The bodies on the arena floor were blown to the side of the arena, hitting and knocking into some of the students.

Finally, the wind stopped and the dust was starting to settle.

"What was that!" Max asked.

"I think it was a lightning strike?" Slyvia replied.

Mathew didn't say anything but just continued to stare into the centre of the arena where the lightning strike had hit. Sir K who was now on the opposite end was doing the same. They could both feel that the strong energy that was in the clouds, was now on the arena ground.

Finally, after a while, the dust was starting to settle and as it did a figure started to appear. Some of the students thought that it might have been a legendary magical beast or something else but as the dust continued to settle down, they could finally see what was standing there.

To their surprise stood in the centre of the ring was a humanoid figure, or at least it resembled the body of a human. It stood 8 feet tall in black armour with green trim. In the centre of the chest piece, was what looked like a closed eyeball that stuck out a little from the chest.

The figures face was completely covered by a black helmet, that also resembled an eyeball with two wings sticking out where the ears should be.

Sir K was currently at the side of the arena with the second-year students stood behind him. Monk noticed that Sir K's hand was trembling, shaking almost. Whoever this man was, Sir K was clearly affected by just his presence.

The black figure turned and looked at Sir K.

"Kaden, it's been a while hasn't it?" the black figure said.

"You have no right to call me by that name!" Sir K shouted.

The students were dumbfounded by who this mysterious man was but clearly, he had a relation to Sir K. Mathew, on the other hand, knew exactly who it was the moment he had set his eyes on him.

It was one of Alure kingdoms enemies, more specifically it was probably Avrion academy's biggest enemy. He was the Dark Guild leader known as Morfran.

Slyvia then too started to recognise some of Morfran clothing. "It couldn't be," she thought.

Morfran used to be an elder at Avrion academy, in school they had taught all the students about who he was but it was kept brief. An elder who had been banished for researching forbidden arts. The school or academy never expanded on this but said he went off to create the Dark guild.

Unlike the shadow plague that was the enemy of the whole continent. The Dark guild aim was more focused on the ruin of Avrion academy.

Mathew had no clue that the two had a relation to each over until this day, when he saw the Dark guild members taking the purple liquid for the first time.

"Although I would love to catch up that is not the reason why I am here, call those elders over here right now or I will kill every single one these students in this arena."

As soon as Mathew had seen Morfran land on the ground, he had slowly been trying his best to regain his mana. He had used most of it up on all of the Zom-kids. Although his mana hadn't completely regained it was the best time for him to attack now, while Morfran's back was turned and his attention was focused on Sir K.

"Water Slash." Mathew cast a sharp blade of water, which shot out of his hand.

Josh and Jake had come back from the reception area earlier and could see Morfran standing there, as soon as they saw their brother attack they decided to follow, shooting their own water blades.

"Useless," Morfran said as he saw the water blades come at him from two different directions.

When the water blades were a few inches away from him, Morfan's body started to morph into a streak of white light. The next second Morfan had disappeared and the two water strikes went right passed him.

The flash of light appeared again and Morfran was back where he was originally standing. Morfran then lifted his hand and pointed it towards the two brothers who were at the arena entrance.

"Bye, bye," Morfran said as two lightning bolts shot out of his hand.

The shots were fast, too fast for most of the students to even keep up with. The next second they could see Josh and Jake rolling about screaming in pain.

Mathew's eyes widened.

"It can't be, he has powers of lightning!"
