Chapter 664 Showcasing True Magic!



-----

I accepted the duel against Monica because it was a rather easy way to convince her to cooperate, exercise, study, and become stronger. I wouldn't want people to die in my class if possible. The spectators were a few students from other classes, Professor Hector that happened to be around, and both of our Parties.

Monica was someone without any patience at all, as she immediately started the battle with her strongest spell, a rookie mistake.

"Hahaha…! Prepare yourself to face the magic prowess of the Darkbound Family!" She laughed. "[Abyssal Darkness Magic]: [Black Star]!"

FLUUOOOSH!

Her Darkness Magic Aura gathered into her hands and then above her head, concentrating into a gigantic sphere of pure darkness constantly growing stronger.

"Take this!"

TRUUUUMMM…!

The enormous sphere of darkness, which she called Black Star, rather undeserving of its glorious name, descended towards me. I looked at the attack with a rather unsurprised expression.

BOOOOOOMMM…!!!

The gigantic explosion of darkness engulfed my entire body, and all of my surroundings. Everyone glanced at the scene expecting me to appear in the floor, half-dead or something.

"Hahh… Hahaha… Heheheh…" Monica started giggling creepily. "Are you still alive~?"

She slowly approached me while the smoke slowly dissipated, however, my unharmed silhouette quickly emerged amidst the black fog, as I slowly began cleaning my clothes from the dust that the explosion rose.

"H-HUH?!" Monica and everyone else in the seats surrounding the arena, except my friends, reacted in shock.

"I can't believe you actually thought I would be defeated with such a weak attack." I sighed. "My Resistance Stat is already vastly surpassing your own Magic Stat, and because you seem to possess no skills that enhance your magic power at all… Well, this is the result."

"E-Eh?!" Asked Monica in shock.

"In simple terms, it's a skill issue." I said with a smile, raising my right hand's index finger above my head. "Now, little girl, let me show you what a real Black Star looks like. [Abyssal Star]"

FLUOOOOOOSH!

I concentrated a large quantity of the darkness I've accumulated within my own shadows and aura, and then generated a gigantic sphere, imitating Monica's spell. The size was, of course, vastly superior. While Monica's Black Star was around twenty meters big, mine was about seventy meters, and I could keep expanding it, but I thought that might be enough.

"T-This is… impossible…"

Monica was left flabbergasted, as the gigantic sphere of darkness landed over her and everything else around us, a huge explosion of pure magical power and darkness spread everywhere.

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

Of course, I wasn't so merciless to endanger the spectators, so a barrier had been set around each person in the seats. When the darkness receded and the light of the day slowly started to pierce through the endless black fog, I walked towards Monica, who was in the floor.

Her skin was half-charred, her hair was messy, her eyes looked filled with despair, her clothes were slightly burned, and she seemed barely grasping life.

"You know that something like that could had actually vaporized you, right?" I sighed. "If it wasn't because I conjured some buffs over your body, you would be dead."

"E-Eh? Guh…" Monica coughed. "Y-You're… you're… a Monster…"I think you should take a look at

That was the only thing she said before falling unconscious.

"Monicaaaa!"

"Lady Monica!"

"Y-You monster! Did you had to go so far?"

"Well, she's still outside the arena so I guess it counts as a win…"

"B-But she's almost dead!"

Her party was worried about her more than I expected, and carried her away swiftly after, bringing her to the infirmary. There was actually no need because I healed her when she fell unconscious, she was now just sleeping.

"Blake you… went a bit too far there." Hector sighed.

"By the Holy Spirits! Why does this girl always gets herself in troubles?!" Sighed a slightly overweight woman with long blue hair that ran into the infirmary, this was Miss Aquafina, the Instructor of Monica's party.

It was really clear she wasn't really responsible if she let the girls be like this… Even Evelyn is half better than her now that I think about it.

"Blake did you had to go so far?! Are you freaking insane?! Ugh if the director learns about this he'll lower my pay again!" Evelyn started screaming at me.

Never mind what I said before, I take back my words completely.

At the end, other professors and even the director learned of this anyways, but there was no punishment done.

He said that the battle was agreed by both students, and the Academy allows for such battles between students as long as both parties and their instructors agree.

"Aquafina you agreed to this." Sighed Hasan, as Aquafina was complaining to him that he hasn't punished me at all for harming Monica.

"B-But that brat hurt my Monica so badly! I-I just thought he was just a pushover and that the rumors weren't true!" Aquafina cried. "I-I mean… Is it true this brat killed an Archdemons Vessel?! Who would believe such a thing?"

"Well now that you've witnessed his strength I am sure you'll start believing." Hasan said, crossing his arms. "Also Monica is safe, and nobody else was harmed."

"I conjured enhancement and protection magic on her, and also healed her." I said. "She should be fine for now."

"What did you said?! Your affinities have been registered as Darkness and Blood! How come you can… cast protection, enhancement, and healing magic?" Asked Aquafina. "Monica survived out of her own strength! Stop lying so much."

"Lying?" I asked. "[Muscular Enhancement], [Stamina Enhancement], [Vitality Boost], [Mana Shield], [Shadow Shield], [Healing Light]."

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

I conjured several buffs and healing spells over her.?ℯ

"E-Eh?! Y-You can- Ugh!" Aquafina groaned; her body felt like it was fasting heavily because so many buffs over a weak physique were actually detrimental. "Y-You can use light magic and nature magic and…. L-life magic all together?!"

"He is a prodigy in magic, we've not registered that yet because the year has yet to end." Laughed Hasan.
