" It seems some of you had talents after all... " Agniz says to the PCA Students, her [Ki Sense] could tell those who successfully cultivate.

" Yeah, it's awesome! " Groa Rockborn says, for she felt sturdier than ever before, even her [Rock Magic] felt so powerful, a mere rock she creates could even cut a sturdy steel.

While other than her, Slade Sable, uses his Ki, enabling him to do such mobility like walking on water, walking on the walls.

" Wow, this is cool... "

" Usually, I use my [Air Magic] to create mini-tornadoes to levitate myself. "

" But this, ohohoho... " Slade felt so great, to think such a possibility exists.

Other PCA kids also, try to unleash their Ki abilities, including Donovan who tries it while releasing his Water Magic, trying to find out if the Ki affects it.

"( Nothing... )"

"( It..., didn't affect my water. )" Donovan thinks about this, he is sure he unlocked the Ki Power Feature, he even checks the System if the Ki unlocked some skills that he could use, Active or Passive.

* Donovan searched throughout the System. *

"( None!!!? )" Donovan is frustrated, wondering why he didn't unlock some Ki-based skill whilst...

* Boom. *

" Wow, Groa, that one is great! " Slade says, seeing Groa create a sword made of rock and inserting it with her Ki, cutting more of the Steel Magi Training Dummies available with it.

"( Senior Groa and Sable sure get the benefits of this. )" Donovan sees them and never thought they would be that capable.

As he wonders, he looks at Carlos and Carol, seeing both of them meditating.

" System..., can you scan? " Donovan asks as the System scans their current activities.

< Subject 'Carol' has been struggling to cultivate her Ki since yesterday, whilst Subject 'Carlos'. >

< ... >

< Has been trying to control the flow of his Ki, taught by Subject 'Agniz', to make sure the Ki didn't leak again. >

< Due to that, Subject [Carlos] attained a new set of Passive Skills, especially regarding his [Ki Senses] and... >

"( He was given on a silver platter yet again. )" Donovan felt jealous of this, and he does, whenever sees Carlos.

His existence is a constant reminder that no matter how hard he grinds for, someone will just have what he wants, gifted to him in a split second.

"( But still... )"

"( His Magic, Star Magic... )"

As Mana dodges the attack, she quickly strikes Terry's arm with her fingers, using her 'Acupuncture Technique' to block Terry's flow of Mana.

[ Energy Flow Blocking ]

As it happens, Terry tries to move and release his magic but fails as his muscle and mana function slowly turns off right after that.

" I can't move... " Terry now lays on the ground as Mana approached him, showing her tongue after subduing him.

" [Energy Flow Blocking], perfect for close-range subduction. "

As it happens, other students began to show their capabilities, some of them even felt their Ki Cultivation increased through this combat training, as the height of combat pumps their Ki to emerge from its slumber.

" Hmph! " Donovan punched one of the ACA kids who fought him, realizing his Strength had increased thanks to it.

" Oh, it seems you're already used to it, Donovan. " said Oinor Oniro.

[ Contestant: Oinor Oniro ]

[ Academy: Amalgam Community Academy ]

[ Grade: 2 ]

" Hmph! " Donovan prepares his fighting stance, he tries to make his stance, by remembering some of the ACA students he saw in the previous Tournaments.

"( I've been grinding so far, guess slowly showing some will do nothing wrong, right? )" Donovan says this while activating a skill he's been upgrading recently.

< Skill: [Black Shadow Absorption] -- LVL.4 >

< Using the Shadow's true nature to absorb another shadow. After the absorption, the Player can gain a copy of the target's physical skill set, save it into the System, and gain the skills by touching and absorbing the target's shadow. >

< But for now, this skill can only absorb four physical skill sets into the System. >

< Cost: 1.500 AP >

< [Black Shadow Imitate] is in use. >

< Black Shadow Imitate, Sturdy Mountain Stance >

< Increased Endurance by 35% >

< Ki Energy Flow Increased by 27,5% >

" Come on, Oinor! "

" Let's have a rematch! "
