"Haha, he is teaching his juniors again." Greg laughed out loud when he saw Asher's shenanigans again.
"I just hope he teaches them something useful, not just showcases his abilities." Vik, from the side, said."You know what happens later. He is just increasing his fans and influence by doing this."
"Don't worry, Vik," Cynthia said it with a smile. "I feel a different motivation in him this time."
…
"It looks like everyone agrees." Asher took everyone's silence and their focused look as, yes.
Asher looked at Corruptor, who was still standing in fear, and why it was feeling this much fear, it didn't know. But its heart and soul were screaming that this boy was dangerous; if it tried to do anything other than just standing properly, the boy would kill it.
"The Corruptor's ability is not all that mighty. It has several restrictions. You saw earlier that when it was getting ganged up from close quarters and from afar, it wasn't able to do much, just had limited actions. Then when it did such wide-range casting, to make you all kneel and rip your arm apart, you were all able to resist it despite being so dominated." Asher explained calmly while taking a step forward.
"And you also saw it went for your arm, not your neck, to choke you all to death because you could have stopped it with your other arm. Also, it didn't do much when this miss (Ana) was going to attack it. So all in all, this thing isn't unbeatable. If you all tried together, you could have killed it." The last sentence made everyone embarrassed, and they didn't have words to refute it as Asher had already explained many things.
"Another thing," Asher said, raising his voice a little. "You can also kill it…"
Asher vanished from his spot and appeared before the Corruptor, giving it a jumpscare and making it flinch backward.
"Repel!" The Corruptor directly commanded, which made an invisible force pull Asher's body backwards, but it failed miserably as Asher just stood in his spot as if nothing happened.
",,,By overwhelming it in the power realm." Saying it with a smirk, Asher punched the Corruptor's stomach, blasting it away and eventually smashing its body against a tree.
Bang
The Corruptor's body stuck on the tree as black-colored blood spurted out of its stomach, where Asher hit. That place churned and ruptured. This type of injury would have nothing to do with the Corruptor but for that reason, Asher's move was very effective.
The Corruptor was about to heal itself, but it vanished from its spot and arrived before Asher, who was looking at it with a smug face.
"Welcome."
Bam
Asher greeted the Corruptor with a punch in the face, having it fly in the air. But it again didn't have the luxury of responding and healing itself as it got teleported before Asher.
Bam
Again, Asher punched the Corruptor, blasting it away, and it happened multiple times as if Asher was playing a game.
Bam
Bam Bam
Bam Bam Bam!
Eventually, Asher stopped as he looked down at the Corruptor who was lying down on the ground with a body that was hardly recognizable. Its body was now smeared with its own black blood, and its body parts were twisted in many ways.
BAM!
Asher suddenly stomped his feet on the Corruptor's head, smashing it like a watermelon and eventually killing it, letting it free of its suffering.
However, on the other hand, Asher was fully intact, not even the Corruptor's blood touched his body, as if it were blocked by an invisible wall.
Asher finally turned his head at his juniors, who were looking at him dumbfoundedly. This made Asher a bit embarrassed, but he quickly hid it and maintained his usual demeanor. "So, how was it? This thing looked easy to kill now, right? You guys can do that too, just have to work hard and learn. And to do that, you will have great instructors in our EverGreen Academy."
Despite such bizarre events, everyone still got excited to hear that, as they witnessed Asher's power firsthand and how he was able to kill something that they were having a hard time with.
"Now, everyone go back to your carriages, and for the ones whose carriages are broken, they can wait, more carriages will come pick you up. Also, well done in your first test by the academy." Asher said, smiling at everyone.
Everyone just got embarrassed as they knew they didn't do well, except a few who were above or close to Ana and Hueg's level. With that embarrassment, they walked toward their carriages direction.
Ana, Hueg, and Lily were also about to leave, but all of a sudden they got stopped by Asher. "Can I have a moment with you guys?"
The trio looked toward Asher, confused, as to what he wanted with them.
Asher saw the confusion visibly on their faces and explained the doubt. "The carriage you were in is destroyed, so I was thinking about joining mine."
The trio looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Asher was right that their carriage was destroyed and they had no transportation, but they didn't want to accept a stranger's invitation.
Hueg asked. "What do you want with us?"
Asher glanced at Hueg and said it with a smile. "Actually, it doesn't have anything to do with you two." He pointed his finger at Hueg and Lily.
Then his finger finally landed in Ana's direction and stayed there. "I just want to talk with this miss."
Ana and other's eyes widened upon hearing that. They immediately turned cautious and looked at Asher with wryness.
"Hey, hey." Asher then acted surprised. "You guys acting like that would make people assume I am a villain."
"Then what do you want to do with me?" Ana squinted her eyes, not understanding anything about Asher. She has not met anyone like this in her life, whose actions and words are mismatched.
Asher just answered Ana's question with a simple smile. "I just want to discuss with you about your star magic."
