Chapter 276 - Showcasing Your Skills
Chapter 276: Showcasing Your Skills
For a talented player like Mike, not only could he instantly cast his skills, but he also did not need a staff to cast his skills.
Looking at the unyielding double-edged sword youth, Mike actually wanted to help the youth with the staff to vent his anger.
However, he knew that he could not be too ostentatious.
He had already suffered such a loss once.
After watching such a battle, the students of the Law Faculty below the stage did not have pleasant expressions on their faces.
The double-edged sword youth stood on the stage and continued to speak.
“Your Law Faculty’s strength is indeed so ordinary, completely incomparable to our Close Combat Academy.”
The moment the students of the Law Faculty around the stage heard this speech, all of them clenched their fists.
However, they knew that they were not strong enough to fight against Blue.
After all, Reid was already one of the more powerful players in the Law Faculty.
“Even Reid can’t beat Blue?”
“I really want to go up and punch him twice, but unfortunately, I can’t beat him.”
Hearing the complaints of the people in the audience, Mike felt very amused.
These people were dying to vent their anger, but they did not want to deal with it themselves.
Therefore, they could only feel sorry for themselves.
“Hey, that silver-haired guy over there, what are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”
Seeing that Blue was talking to him, Mike actively responded.
“I’m not laughing at anything. I just feel that if that student with the staff could have seen through your tricks, then today’s win or loss would have been different.”
Hearing Mike’s words, Blue instantly became a little interested in the youth in front of him.
“From what you’ve just said, you should be quite capable.”
Mike did not answer him. All he wanted to do was to turn around and leave.
Seeing that Mike had not answered him, Blue became arrogant.
“Looking at that silver-haired boy’s appearance, he should be a human. Are you just a coward who likes to brag? Hahahaha!
“I also heard that guys like you are very good at killing each other.”
Hearing this, Mike could not stand it anymore.
Mike flashed to the arena.
He put his hand on Blue’s shoulder.
Blue did not notice Mike’s tracks at all.
In the blink of an eye, this silver-haired kid had approached him and put his hand on his shoulder.
“It looks like you want to challenge me to a fight. Is that what you mean? Hahaha.”
Mike spoke indifferently as he looked at this arrogant close combat student.
“I just want to teach you that compared to improving your combat strength, you must first learn to show respect!”
Blue continued to speak arrogantly.
“Looking at you, it looks like you’re a new student. Today, let me properly teach you the first lesson of the new semester.”
Without further ado, both sides immediately entered combat mode.
Mike placed his hands behind his back and waited for Blue’s attack, which was full of flaws.
Blue looked at Mike who was showing his contempt in front of him, so he increased his speed and dodged to attack Mike.
“With such speed, do you have the nerve to say such arrogant words?”
Mike raised his hand and grabbed Blue’s ankle, which was in the air.
Blue quickly drew out his double-edged sword and stabbed it at Mike’s eyes.
Mike only used two fingers to catch the double-edged sword in a pincer attack.
“It seems that not only have you not learned respect, but you have also contracted such a vicious bad habit. Today, let me treat you properly.”
Mike let his hand go and allowed Blue to retreat to his original position.
Then, Mike started to urge the airflow at his fingertips. Near his right hand, it was as if small whirlwinds could be seen.
“Let me teach you how to do close combat.”
Mike flashed behind Blue at an extremely fast speed once again.
This speed was completely undetectable by Blue.
Immediately after, the sword aura at Mike’s fingertips cut a wound on Blue’s cheek.
Blood instantly flowed out.
Blue stared at Mike who was in front of him with his mouth agape. He could not help but feel shocked.
“How could you be so fast?”
Mike grinned.
“The first lesson of the semester? Let me teach it to you!”
The sword qi at Mike’s fingertips freely roamed the entire arena.
In the eyes of others, the lethality of Mike’s sword qi was at full power.
In reality, the strength that Mike was using now was not even 10% of his full strength.
“Hey, kid, I’m starting to get serious now. I was just afraid of hurting you earlier!”
Blue stubbornly said.
A thick smoke suddenly appeared in the ring.
Blue quickly disappeared in the smoke.
“Another trick? It seems that you only know some tricks.”
Mike quickly captured Blue’s position through the changing airflow in the air.
During the time he had cultivated by the fairy lake, Mike had learned to talk to the air.
He could sense the direction of the wind to see where the enemy was.
Once the position was exposed, Mike would sense it.
The sword qi at Mike’s fingertips would then quickly kill the enemy.
Only this time it was just a sparring match.
Although Blue had a foul mouth and no manners, he did not deserve to die.
Mike could feel Blue slowly moving away from him.
He thought to himself.
“By the looks of it, he probably wants to make a short-distance sprint. The power of his attack should be much stronger than before.”
Sure enough, a sharp figure charged towards Mike from the smoke.
Although Blue seemed to have grasped Mike’s position, the ever-changing situation on the battlefield was definitely not something that could be accurately judged by just relying on one’s eyes.
“Hahahaha, kid, you’ve already lost.”
Blue’s double blades were already placed on Mike’s neck.
However, just when Blue thought that he had already won, Mike’s figure suddenly disappeared in front of him.
“Afterimage… This is just his afterimage, how fast is his speed?”
Blue did not have time to react.
Suddenly, a sword qi that was much more ferocious than before rushed towards Blue’s back once again.
Blue did not even notice this attack at all.
In an instant, that sword qi tore at Blue’s back furiously like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.
Blue cried out in pain.
The smoke dispersed and Mike finally reappeared.
“I didn’t expect this. The smoke that Blue released is really like lifting a stone and dropping it on one’s own foot.”
The audience below the stage was having animated discussions.
Mike merely spoke indifferently.
“Now, I’ve already taught you the first lesson. Don’t underestimate the enemy on the battlefield, or the consequences will only be more serious than this.”
Mike looked at Blue who was in a sorry state and continued to speak.
“Since you think that our Law Faculty can’t do it, then I’ll let you have a good look today to see if our Law Faculty can do it or not.”
Mike raised the palm of his right hand.
A burst of flame emerged from that palm of his hand.
It burned fiercely towards Blue.
The flame was like a wall that filled the entire arena.
Blue had no way of avoiding it, which made him absolutely certain that he was going to die.
Hence, he closed his eyes.
“Don’t… Don’t!”
Suddenly, the flames stopped.
It turned out that Mike had retracted his palm.
Mike looked at Blue who was in front of him.
Currently, his entire body was slumped on the ground, with a dazed expression.
“It looks like you know now how powerful our law faculty is.”
Mike’s sharp gaze looked out over the arena.
He looked at the students of the close combat school and continued.
“Only by learning respect can you have the right to live.”
The students who had been watching the battle were all dumbfounded.
They were surprised that Mike could use close combat skills and that he could easily and skillfully cast such powerful spells.
He did not even need the support of a magic staff to cast his skills.
After a moment of silence, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
“Long live the Law Faculty!”
“The Law Faculty is unstoppable!”
“This silver-haired kid is simply amazing. Is he really just a freshman?”
Mike listened to the cheers of the students below the stage and suddenly came to a realization.
It looked like he was going to become famous again.
Suddenly, a gentle and beautiful voice came from below the stage.
“You must be Mike!”
Mike looked in the direction of the voice.
A beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes and a tall figure had suddenly appeared in front of him.
Even though the beautiful girl was wearing a thick windbreaker, her voluptuous figure was difficult to cover up.
“It’s Senior Jasmine, my goddess!”
“Where is she? Is it really Senior Jasmine?”
The students below the stage discussed animatedly.
Mike then replied to the senior named Jasmine.
“That’s right, I’m Mike.”
Jasmine looked at Mike who looked very calm in front of her, and a trace of respect rose in her heart.
Actually, Jasmine had secretly watched Mike and Blue’s entire battle.
Jasmine realized that Mike had obviously not used his full strength.
As Mike was fighting with Blue, it looked as if it was like an adult fighting with a babbling child.
“It seems that the talent of our Law Faculty is indeed extraordinary.”
“Senior, you flatter me.”
“It’s just a little trick, nothing unusual. What’s the point of mentioning it?”
When Mike said this, there was a burst of noise again in the arena.
Mike looked at the people in front of him who were having fervent discussions. At this moment, all he wanted to do was to leave as soon as possible.
Mike jumped off the stage. Suddenly, Jasmine called out to him.
“Mike, you haven’t picked up the credits from your victory this time!”
“Credits?”
Mike was stunned for a moment.
“You have the credit card with you, right? After every battle in the stage, the winner will be able to take away a portion of the credits from the loser.”
Seeing that Mike was a little puzzled, Jasmine spoke up again.
“You can also earn credits through daily studies and tests. Actually, there is another way to earn credits the fastest.”
Mike asked curiously.
“What method?”
“That is to kill a high-level ferocious beast!”
Jasmine said.
“There’s a senior in our law school who once killed a Lord-Level Alien Fierce Beast.
“Even though he was heavily injured, he earned a total of 5,000 credits!”
Hearing the words ‘Lord-Level Fierce Beast’, Mike laughed in his heart.
A Lord-Level Beast? Any beast below the level of a Sub-Demon King, could not cause any harm to the current me.
“Okay, I got it. Thank you, Senior Jasmine!”
Suddenly, at this moment, a strange feeling appeared in Mike’s heart again.
That feeling pressed down on Mike until he could not breathe at all.
Mike immediately collapsed on the ground.
“What happened to you… How did you suddenly become like this?”
Mike could hear Jasmine’s voice.
He was about to say something.
However, when he opened his mouth to speak, he felt as if there was a fish bone stuck in his throat.
He could not speak at all.
Gradually, Mike finally closed his eyes.
… … …
Mike rubbed his sleepy eyes. It was already dawn.
He stretched himself.
Mike looked around.
He found himself in his own room.
“How did I get here?”
Mike was puzzled. He looked at the clock on the wall.
“Oh no! I’m going to be late!”
As he said this, Mike rushed to the bathroom.
After a simple wash, Mike got up and left the dorm to go to the Law Faculty.
On the way, Mike saw many students in school uniforms.
It was then that he realized that he had forgotten to wear his school uniform.
However, at this moment, it was too late to go back and change.
Mike could only brace himself and walk into the classroom.
Mike walked into the Mage Class.
He randomly found a seat and sat down.
Just as Mike sat down, he noticed that Zelli had also walked into the classroom.
They glanced at each other silently but did not communicate.
Zelli deliberately sat in a seat far away from Mike.
“It seems that Zelli doesn’t like me very much.”
Mike thought to himself.
“Forget it. I don’t have much time to think about useless things like these.”
Through the hidden message, Mike noticed that the average mage quality and level of the students in this class were not very high.
The highest was only platinum quality, while the weakest was bronze quality.
A few minutes later.
A tall female teacher with her hair in a bun walked in.
The teacher was wearing high heels, and she looked very young in a professional female outfit.
However, even this could not hide the wrinkles in the corners of the teacher’s eyes.
She looked to be about thirty-five years old.
