Chapter 118: Draven's Official Debut To Society Part 5
" Impossible... " Carol says as she sees it from afar.
" How could this be...? " she says in her disbelief after seeing Carlos getting hurt like that.
" Carlos... " Carol says as she realized that the masked stranger is not easy to deal with if it goes like this.
" Carol, should we help him? " Goriath says as he was also shocked to see someone would able to 'wound' Carlos.
"( It's impossible, not even the senior students are able to hurt him! )" Goriath says as he remembers how strong Carlos was against the seniors even.
Both Carlos and Donovan are recognized by the seniors after that sparring session the Battle Class had. In that Class, the 1-S students are tasked to fight the top three students from Class 3-S. In that task, only three students managed to do it, first was obviously Carlos due to his magic, the second was Carol since she's technically like Carlos too, and the third one is Donovan, who managed to defeat the senior with his sheer skills.
...
" What a great skill you possess? " the senior says as he lost.
" I know, right? "
" My dad often gives me new Grimoires to read. "
" He also told me of his Hunter's friends' magics, even showing some to me which I managed to take inspiration from. " Donovan says to senior, the reason for his victory.
...
"( That's what I remember... )"
"( For if I remember correctly the seniors are all Tier Vs... )"
"( Which made them who managed to defeat those people so strong or skilled. )"
"( But this stranger... ) Goriath says as he also felt fear over the masked stranger.
"( He's out of the charts if he even managed to deal with Carlos. )" Goriath states as he continues to watch from afar with Carol and Aero, watching the battle that continues over time for the two swordsman mages won't stop attacking until one of them is defeated.
" I commend you for being able to swing a such huge blade with ease. "
" I never thought that you could even compete with both my strength and speed. " Carlos commends 'Draven'.
" Of course, I am. numb nuts! "
" Who do ya think I am? " 'Draven' attacks him back, slicing true but Carlos managed to block it.
" Brother, I didn't even know you! " Carlos says as he then uses his magic as he gets the chance.
" Shit! what the f*k are you doing!? " 'Draven' asks despite knowing what the hell Carlos will use at him right now.
"( He's going to use that freaking [Star Magic: Star Shower Focused] again, didn't he!? )" he says while seeing Carlos charging the magic.
The magic was so strong, this is the Tier V type magic that most Magic Users, even from the Royal Houses, rarely get, a Tier Magic with great rarity, specialness, and power. A magic type, able to outcompete the rest.
This is the Star Magic, the rare magic ever existed in mankind. Only comes from the Caliburs.
" By the stars, I will defeat you! "
" May your stars sign my victory! "
" [Star Magic: Star Shower Focused]! " Carlos says as he unleashed it all toward 'Draven'.
"( Ah yes, here is that attack I hate! )" 'Draven' says as he uses the Aether.
< Aether increased >
"( Oh how I was waiting for this day to finally use the Aether while fighting him without any restrain..., what a day. )" 'Draven' says in his mind as he was then showered by Carlos's Star Shower.
" Young master! " [Black Shadow Tania] says as she was afraid of his safety, for she too was frightened of Carlos's power.
Tania is one of the Black Shadows that noticed that Carlos might pose a big threat in the future if he wasn't dealt with. But 'Draven' tells her not to, for it will be risky if it happened.
Besides, killing Carlos might've caused more problems than insurance to their usual secretive ops, in the shadows.
" It's alright... " 'Draven' comes out, unfazed by the attack.
" You!? " Carlos was shocked as he sees 'Draven' change his armor, changing it mid-attack which shocked Carlos at the start.
"( How did he..., no... )"
"( You can't do that, changing magic armor in mid-fight...? )" Carlos says as he already sensed something wrong with 'Draven's whole attire.
"( That's impossible, it shouldn't be... )" Carlos says as he sees it, seeing all of the clothes are filled with some unknown atrocious energies.

...
"( Haven't tried this for a long time! )"
"( After the new year, I was desperate on finding something I can use this armor to fight with... )" 'Draven' says as he then uses the armor's Symbiotic ability as the Black Shadow armor summons shadow tentacles from it.
[ Black Shadow Symbiotic Defense Weapon: Black Squid ]
[ Can only be used if the User's AP >4.000 ]
As it happen, Carlos was shocked to see such a thing come out from the armor, he wasn't expecting it like at all.
"( What is this? tentacles...? )" Carlos says as he counters it while 'Draven' whips it into him.
" You seemed panicked, never seen an armor could do things like this, before? " 'Draven' asks Carlos as he continues whipping it, giving him no chance on performing his magic.
" Grrhh... " Carlos defends himself, using only his sword, for 'Draven' has given him no chance to even cast his Shield Magic.
" Damn you! " Carlos says as he defends his best against the very attacks offered by 'Draven'.
While he defends it, behind him, the people who watched him from behind begin to panic, especially Carol.
"( I need to intervene... )" Carol says as she sees the situation.
"( Even if it makes Carlos hate me more. )" Carol says as she slowly casts a spell from behind.

Extra:
System Shop:
A shop feature from the System offers any weapon, Donovan could buy and the weapon offered is real, and can be used in reality. Items can be bought using System Coins.
Donovan/ 'Draven' still doesn't understand how the hell it works though.
System Coins:
A payment the System use can be earned after completing certain Quests and Events.
*Sorry I didn't mention this before, for this should be explored more if I made the side story where Donovan/Draven do some certain quests.
But I swear the side story will be more like the origin story of some of Donovan's/'Draven's items though.
