Chapter 321 - Blake's new power

As Blake slowly walked over to the field, the chatter started amongst the crowd. By now, everyone knew that Blake had lost his lightning powers. But not many knew about him being Dez latest disciple but seeing them two walk together confirmed some of the student's suspicions.

"Hey, it can't be a coincidence that when Dez is a judge Blake gets chosen, can it?" Max said.

"To be honest, even after Blake lost his lightning powers, the amount of magic he controls is still abnormal compared to others," Kaito replied. "Even without any elemental abilities, he can still break through and beat everyone here."

As Kaito said those words, Max turned his head and looked at Ray.

"Well, I don't think everyone." Max said giggling to himself.

The match had started, the middle-class student was eager to prove himself. To be honest, he felt like he didn't stand a chance against the number one student Blake, but if he showed everything he had before he would lose, there might be a chance for him to still be promoted into the upper class.

The man then brought out two small staffs and started to twirl them around. Two fairly large tornadoes began to appear from the ends of the sticks.

"Wind magic, huh, well this is my stage," Blake said.

As the two tornadoes came towards him, the beast crystal tied around his neck started to shine brightly, and his eyes started to shine a bright green colour.

From both of Blake's hands, two green circles appeared in a liquid type form. It started to drip on the floor, and the droplets started to create steam and small holes on the field.

The tornado strikes continued to go forward but were blocked by the green circles. As the two types of magic touched, a hissing sound could be heard. The tornadoes continued forward into the green circles until they had vanished entirely, as if they were eaten by the green magic.

"Does anyone know Dez'z magic ability?" Norah asked.

"It's poison," Bliss replied.

The wind user had used up a lot of energy in his wind attack and needed some time before he could attack again, but the same couldn't be said for Blake. He contained an enormous amount of mana and charged forward. Then when he was close enough, he swiped his hand, and from his fingertips, a line of green liquid was released with it.

The wind user didn't have time to react; all he could do was lift up his two sticks to protecting him, but they were useless. The poison also acted like some type of acid burning right through his metal sticks and eventually burning his hands.

"This fight has ended!" Betty shouted. "Dez get rid of the poison at once."

As soon as the poison had reached the student's skin, his whole body froze, and he collapsed onto the ground.?A few seconds later, and he started shaking. Dez immediately came over and rushed by his side, placing his hand on the student's chest.

He focused his mind, and when he lifted his hand, a green liquid was seen coming out from the body and formed a small ball just above.

"I have removed the poison, but a white mage will need to heal his injuries." Dez said, "I'm sorry I did not react fast enough."

"it's fine the student shall live, but don't make the same mistake twice; otherwise you will no longer be allowed to act as a judge."

After that, there were many who were too frightened of Blakes power. Although someone having a thunder element in their magic was extremely rare, his current poison powers seemed more dangerous than his lightning powers.

"How is he able to control a second element so well, though?" Norah asked.

"Well, the poison element is unique. There's not many who can bare through the pain or gather the materials necessary. To be able to use Poison magic, your body needs to be able to withstand it." Bliss explained. "The stronger poison used, the more it will affect your body. The process is a grim one, the user must eat several different types of poison each day and bare the pain and side effects. Every time they must gather and find a stronger poison. This was only possible for Blake because Dez took him under his wing. Most likely, Dez already has a room full of the deadliest poisons and the antidotes to go with it in case anything seriously goes wrong. But even so, for Blake to get this strong with the ability in such a short amount of time, he must have had a strong will."

"Well that doesn't make me like him anymore than I did before," Max said.

A few more matches continued with some lower-class students fighting and some middle-class students fighting.

Ray even got to see some members of the red-haired troupe perform. They were all similar to Springett where they would use magic inside of their weapons to fight. Instead of them casting spells like the usual mages which Ray found interesting.

But as he waited and waited finally, it was his turn to enter the arena.

His white uniform lit up, and Ray made his way to the stage. As he did, the students started to gossip.

"Hey wasn't he the guy that beat up all those middle-class students?

"Yeah and he was the one who got a perfect score on the exam, he must be really strong, I can't wait to see this."

"I will take this one," Mia said as she volunteered.

The tower masters had no problem with someone volunteering themselves. After all, they felt like it was more work in the first place.

"Please state which class you would like to fight."

Ray then looked at the upper-class student's area before turning to look at Betty.

"Is it okay if I make a special request?" Ray asked. "I would like to fight an upper-class student but not just any upper-class student, I want him," Ray said as he pointed at Blake who was sitting calmly in his chair.
