BOOOM!
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
Three rays fell in sequence, the boy was not a student of the Sun in Luck Academy and managed to raise a bubble that held the three spells, but the bubble was damaged and cracks were visible on its surface.
BOOOM!
Another beam fell to the ground, but this time it had been launched against Kayden, the spell landed squarely against Kayden and made his opponent smile, which quickly closed when he saw Kayden unharmed with a layer of mana around him.
Kayden’s control over his mana was so absurd that he could launch a tiny bubble that only stayed around his skin, this degree of control shocked the judge and some entities who were watching, as the body protection bubble was a magic spell—wizards in the second realm.
The mana flow started to get weird as everyone’s body hairs started to stand up and stand on end, Kayden’s opponent recognized the electric elemental mana but couldn’t understand how or why Kayden was performing it.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
A beam several times stronger than the previous ones fell on the bubble that protected the wizard and surpassed it as if it were made of butter, the judge quickly took the boy out of the arena, that was not an attack he could deal with.
"Hey! I hadn’t lost yet!" the wizard shouted after breaking out of the confusion and standing next to the judge, his only response was the judge’s emotionless look.
"You would be dead, that attack was at the peak of the mage realm." Slowly reality hit the boy and all his ego and confidence crumbled into pieces, Kayden didn’t witness this, as he left as soon as the judge intervened.
He was one of the first to finish his fight and just waited floating in some random place, his focus was on thinking about his next concept which was called hopelessness and he would continue to improve his path.
A few minutes later Kayden was called again, as soon as he entered the bubble he was asked if he wanted a pill to recover mana, something he promptly refused, but his opponent readily accepted, Kayden took a while to recognize his opponent.
"It’s been a while, Marques." A small-statured teenager dressed entirely in black greeted Kayden.
"I hope for a good fight." Kayden returned the greeting in a friendly tone, this was the boy who hid in the fog and held the rank of number 84 a few years ago, Kayden was curious to see what the fight between the two would be like now.
"You can start the fight." As soon as the judge gave the signal, Kayden’s opponent released a mist from his body at high speed, Kayden’s spiritual sense was glued to his opponent, but for a second he lost all information from his spiritual sense.
It was as if he had had a small short circuit, as soon as he returned, Kayden was amazed to feel at least a dozen bodies identical to his opponent, in addition, several traps were tied around it.
The boy certainly improved and managed to overcome the basic deficiencies of his technique, unfortunately for him Kayden’s spiritual sense only sent information and his control over mana meant he was able to feel everything around him at a level beyond the physical.
Even though there were ten opponents, only one of them released a mana signature similar to that of a living being, in addition, some traps on the ground also looked fake, Kayden didn’t know how that was possible, but he didn’t care, the mana in the bubble The whole thing converged on Kayden quickly and...
SWISH!
A slash of mana shot out from his finger at a ridiculously high speed splitting the mist into two halves all the way, in just a second it crossed the entire distance and before the opponent could react the judge had taken him out of the arena.
Before Kayden could leave, he was called.
"Marques! Can you tell me how you found out?" The boy was visibly confused but still managed to react before Kayden left. After reflecting momentarily, Kayden realized there was no harm in telling the boy.
"All of your illusions looked identical to you and still released mana, but their mana signature was not identical to yours, it had a slight difference, and that was what made me attack you directly." After Kayden explained, he left.
Over the next few hours, the number of participants slowly dropped and Kayden continued to rise, no fight forced him to give his all, he didn’t even have to wield his katana.
In the last rounds, there were only 300 people, but the dean announced the participation of around 90 students who performed above expectations and gained a new chance, making it exactly 400 students.
Kayden had no difficulty winning the next two fights and entering the top 100, this time the fights would be a little more exciting, at least that’s what he expected.
"Students, at this point you will fight more than once, even if you lose, as each student has two lives and you will not fight the same opponent twice, we did this so that those who deserved a better top would not be disqualified quickly by someone superior."
Kayden didn’t care, he doubted he would have to use his second life, after a few more minutes of rest given to all the surviving students, they were called back, Kayden entered the bubble and...
"Hello Locke," Kayden was surprised to see who his opponent would be, but he was also excited, Locke was strong and this would be a good match, the two exchanged some greetings and the judge started the fight.
"Kayden! Come with everything, I respect myself as an opponent," Locke asked and Kayden nodded, he already had that thought in his head and instantly activated his path and acceleration to the extreme.

"The sun is above all," Locke used his highest attribute spell and his strength and speed increased significantly, at that level he could easily fight someone at the ninth level.
Within seconds, the two met and the sound of their katanas clashing resounded through the bubble, Locke was pushed a few steps back showing that in brute strength he was inferior to Kayden.
"The sun shines eternally," Locke said and the mana around the two began to heat up at a frighteningly fast rate visibly, Kayden couldn’t convert mana into elemental mana that fast.
BOOOM!
He didn’t let Locke continue with his spells and went aggressively against him, his lightning didn’t hit the prince but made him have to leave the place, and Kayden ran against him for close combat.
After a few more clashes between their swords, Kayden felt his skin heating up and about to suffer burns, imposing his will and his path to the maximum, Kayden cleared the will of the mana around him and suffocated it with mana from the region, preventing the elemental mana from expressed.
He then attacked Locke with a slash of electrical aura, the attack was extremely strong and was defended with a similar flame attack of the same intensity, the only problem was that Locke didn’t have as much mana as Kayden, so this attack was costly for him.
"Sea of flames," Kayden pronounced his spell and the fire began to grow nonstop in all directions, at least in most of the area, unfortunately, Kayden had cleared the elemental mana around him and the fire was unable to pass through him.
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
BOOOM!
Kayden released three lightning bolts in a row at Locke, causing the boy to have to run and be unable to keep his spell working, then launched a slash of pure mana aura.
This time, Locke had to spend half of his mana to be able to defend himself from the attack and this was done in two parts, his first defense was broken in seconds, and the other held the attack.
BOOOM!
Before he could recover, lightning came towards him, this time he didn’t have time to escape by walking and once again he had to spend mana to defend himself, his mana was already at dangerous levels and it got even worse when he saw the next one. Kayden attack.
"I give up," Locke said calmly and the judge took him out of the arena, unfortunately, his mana wasn’t enough to compete against Kayden, there were too many spells stacked against him at once.
Perhaps if he had more mana or some pill to recover the fight could have extended to a more critical point, but unfortunately, Kayden had mana to a ridiculous point, even more so considering his bends in the recent advance.
"It was a good fight," Kayden was being honest, was it quick? Yes, but it was just a matter of lack of strength and small mistakes that decided the match, any attack from Locke would have put him in trouble, and the title of prince was not something to be taken lightly
