Chapter 113 113: Impressive display
"It's our turn." The individual beside Grey said and he turned around to see him.
"Whatever!" Grey replied as he walked forward with his hands in his pants' pockets.
'You! You humiliated me in the first assessment. I was unable to do anything because of fear but now, I have found my courage and I will make sure to humiliate you in front of everybody here today.' the young man thought with a smile on his face.
Walking to the front of the coliseum was Grey while slightly behind him, was the black curly haired individual that approached him who had a weird smile as he walked forward.
Seeing Grey, mumblings was being heard coming from the other participants.
"Isn't that the peasant that did some flashy moves in the first assessment?"
"Right! To be honest, he was really cool."
"No doubt but he is still a peasant regardless."
"Well I just hope he loses this assessment because I don't want any peasant close to me in the academy."
"True! I can't stand breathing the same air as peasants do."
"I feel cringe anytime they come close."
"It would be better off if they just died!"
Unknown to them, even as they were trying to whisper, Grey was able to hear everything because of his wind magic that softly brought the words to his ears.
'I wanted to be the greatest mage ever for my own self but this… this level of discrimination I hate it! I f*cking hate it and can't stand it! I will prove it…' Grey thought as he stood in front of the coliseum with his opponent standing in front of him.
'I will prove it to them… to the whole world that even peasants can become someone great!' he screamed in his head.
"Let the combat begin!" Alex said calmly and without wasting time, his opponent quickly raised his hand and mist began surrounding him along with Grey.
'Mist magic? How pathetic and weak! The other mist user had that arrogant noble to attack but if this one doesn't have anything to offer, then he is use…' he was about to finish thinking when out of the mist, several clones of the black haired individual that approached him appeared.
There were about six of the clones that appeared as they swiftly dashed towards Grey and prepared to attack his face. Raising his hand with wind magic surrounding it, he suddenly felt a solid strong hit in his guts causing him to cough out spit.
'What the hell?!' he screamed in his mind as he took several steps back and saw the clones jump towards him from the back.
He swiftly turned around and shot streams of lightning towards the clones causing them to disappear. Trying to turn back around, his face was suddenly met with a punch sending his head back.
"I will make sure I make you suffer for my humiliation!" His opponent's voice echoed around the mist making it hard to pinpoint his exact location while Grey took a stance with wind magic surrounding him.
'It's hard to pinpoint his exact location in this mist and with the clones, he could use them to confuse me while he attacks me himself. Curses! This wasn't like the battle with that noble!' Grey thought as he saw the clones heading for him when he shot out rapid gust of wind that hit the clones and push the mist back a bit before coming back together.
"As long as I'm in this mist, I can keep on creating clones rapidly unless my mana runs out which wouldn't be possible anytime soon." The voice said again and looking up, he could see two clones heading for his head.
Without wasting time, a bolt of lightning was shot hitting them and he also felt a kick to his arm causing him to skid an inch while his arm was throbbing with pain.
'How is a 1 star mage like him giving me this much trouble?!' Grey thought in anger as he kept on moving his head around trying to find wherever the clones or the controller appear from.
"I know what you are thinking." The voice came again and the six clones appeared with three on either side of Grey as they dashed towards him at immense speed. "That how is a 1 star mage giving you much trouble right?"
He asked when the clones swiftly tried to attack and Grey jumped up using wind magic while shooting out two bolts of lightning that crashed into the ground throwing electricity everywhere and hitting the clones while causing them to disappear.
"That is because I'm much calmer and smarter than you and I have my revenge driving me!" The same voice appeared above Grey as a strong hit slammed into his face sending him flying and crashing into the ground sending shockwaves around.
'I wish… I wish I wasn't limiting myself.' Grey thought as he twitched while on the ground as the hit had affected him a lot. 'Calmness! I… the reason he is getting to me is because I'm not calm!'
"You shouldn't have scared me with your lightning magic during the first assessment. I was part of the crowd which you aimed your lightning at and your words annoyed me including that smug smile of yours and I vowed not to let a peasant like you have any chance into the academy." Grey had the voice reverberating around him.
'Calm! Calm! Calm down! I need to calm down and think.' Grey thought as he was seen slowly standing up with blood dripping down his forehead and then he closed his eyes shut while still standing and then he could feel the clones being created and dashing towards him.
'No! Not yet! Be calm!' he thought when the clones jumped up towards him coming from above about to him and in a flash, he shot several streams of lightning hitting them still with his eyes closed when he finally sensed it.
Bursting through the mist from his right, a punch was heading for his head and using his wind magic, he swiftly turned around and grabbed the hand not letting it move one bit.
"Your one saving grace was this mist and you said I embarrassed and humiliated you huh?" Grey said as a tremendous burst of wind descended upon the coliseum inside the mist pushing them all away at once revealing Grey standing with his palm held out catching his opponent's fist.
"That wasn't a full embarrassment, so let me fully show you what an embarrassment feels like." Grey shouted as the hand which he used to grab his opponent was now crackling with lightning causing his opponent to get electrocuted from his hand making him scream in pain.
Letting the hand go, Grey swiftly zipped back a few feet and then raising his hand at the stunned mist mage, he called out softly.
"Wind magic! Aerius ultra!" He said and a tremendous burst of wind slammed into his opponent lifting him and slamming him into a wall hard causing it to crack slightly and the air to completely get knocked out of his opponent's mouth.
"Impressive display from applicant Grey Dawn! He wins!" Alex called out while Grey walked away albeit with a limp in his steps as he clutched his bleeding head.
'That was harder than I thought, I just hope my plan of limiting my abilities won't be the worst decision I ever made.' Grey thought.
