God's Eyes

Seron didn′t need any combat technique, as he was already his quantum bracelet was filled by hundreds of techniques he received from his family and only his weak mana core rank prevented him from learning them in-depth.

But for Jason it was entirely different, he only had tierless foundation techniques, an all-rounder tier-1 weaponry knight technique, and the only special technique he had was weightless steps.

As of now, Jason could only use Tier-1 techniques for a long-term fight, without injuring himself, which was the reason for him to pick two particular Tier-1 techniques for the beginning.

[Transience Strike] a Tier-1 technique focusing on a single strike, to kill one's enemy without much effort.

[Hazardous-Assassin] another Tier-1 technique with multiple sequences used to deal heavy strike towards the enemy with two daggers.

Both techniques he picked out increased his offensive and the only reason for him to do so was that he already knew shallow tierless defensive techniques, he never used during a fight.

In the end, he used daggers to fight and it would be considered dumb to deflect blunt weapons and greatswords with a dagger.

As such he wanted to focus on his speed and attack in order to prevent landing into the position to defend against anyone.

It might be stupid, but for his current goal, it was the only path he could choose.

After he found these two techniques, Jason also looked for an Archer technique and a peak-Tier-1 technique called [Spinning Arrow] jumped into his view.

As the name suggested one could shoot spinning arrows that changed their trajectory within the air, due to a certain circulation of mana within the arrow and it was said to be a difficult Tier-1 technique.

Downloading the three techniques, Jason seemed pleased and Seron asked him, if he wanted to learn the techniques now or if they should search for opponents to spar when a boy and the blond-haired female walked straight towards them, without caring about anyone around them.

It almost looked like the combat arena belonged to them and that they were king and queen within the special combat class, which caused Jason to smile lightly.

The boy with his brown hair and green eyes greeted them, while the blond-haired girl remained silent.

"Hello, my name is Milo Derk and this is my classmate Bella Wol, we noticed that both of you belong to Class 54 which increased their class ranking by 21 grades and we liked to spar with our school's celebrities."

Milo said but Jason and Seron only looked at each other confused `Celebrities? Who?` before their attention turned back to the brown-haired youth, looking at him as if he was a degenerate.

Seeing that the youths were confused and looked at him like that, Milo's lips twitched lightly, which turned even worse when Bella next to him began to chuckle lightly before she asked.

"Are both of you free to spar with us? According to your mana cores, it won′t take long until the two of you will be thrown out of the class. Let me see how tough the two of you are" She said, smiling full of fighting spirit.

Apparently, she was similar to Jason, even though both of them didn't know anything about each other.

She was an orphan and raised up by a loving adoptive family. Even though they didn't have much money, her adoptive father was a decent hunter and when she awoke her soul, he gave up everything to support her, causing her to end up in the 6th affiliated Vanguard school.

She wanted to care for her family who adopted her and entering a good school was the best way to become stronger.

With her high amount of soul energy and four soulbond spots, she was confident in defeating the two youths in front of her.

It was said that class 54 was the most dangerous among all classes, because of two recently emerged freaks that defeated everyone within their whole class during a combat-lesson and she wanted to find out more about them.

After she noticed that their mana core rank was extremely weak, she was immediately disappointed.

Jason noticed that Bella was looking at them with a fighting spirit, but behind that, he could also faintly see traces of disappointment and even disgust which wondered him.

Both Seron and Jason accepted their proposal and they went to the combat arena as one of the first among the 150 students within the combat arena and it wasn't long until the first few began to gossip and even laugh at Jason and Seron because they dared to fight Class 1's top 2 students, even though their opponents were multiple levels above them, which annoyed the two friends.

Without him knowing, Jason's pride he accumulated over the last two weeks was hurt at least as much as Seron′s who came from one of the big families.

Over the last few weeks Jason increased his strength by a few times and even now there were still peers looking down on him which not only frustrated him but also a deep sense of anger began to emerge in his mind, which he never felt before.

It had been a long time since Seron had been locked down upon and in the past, it was only his family that dared to look down on him but for peers that were only at the Adept rank to look down at him like that, was unacceptable and caused him to grit his teeth.

He despised his own situation because he only began to absorb mana for a short time...if only his mana veins weren't malfunctioned, he would have already reached the Expert rank and beat these idiots into a pulp, if they dared to look at him and Jason with ridicule and even disgust.

His mind was about to enter a state comparable to a berserk mode when Jason tugged at his shoulder.

Turning around with anger, he was about to explode trying to release his anger, when he gazed into Jason's eyes…

Unconsciously stepping back, Seron could only be intimated by Jason′s cold eyes that radiated a faint trace of killing intent while the calmness within them seemed to be more dangerous than his own state.

"Can you use your mana injection on other people?" Jason asked calmly and Seron only nodded subconsciously.

'Who the hell is her?' Seron couldn′t help but think, still staring into Jason′s eyes.

He had never seen someone comparable to Jason, except war veterans and old geezers that survived through thousand deaths by a thin thread, but the most important thing Jason had in common with them was the calmness they radiated.

If he knew that Jason′s killing intent was his master′s fault thanks to the devilish valkyrie-shield fruit and torture he endured in addition to the baptism Jason underwent due to the Black Origin flame, which caused him to see everything much clearer, Seron wouldn′t know how to look at Jason.

Nodding his head Jason thought for a moment until he said

"If you can inject me with four or more mana injections immediately after the fight starts, we will show them who these idiots are laughing at" with his lips curling up into a cold smile.

He didn't have anything against Bella or Milo per se but an example had to be made to show everyone who they laughed at.

Seeing Jason′s smile, Bella felt weird while Milo began to despise the two students in front of him, that had the weakest among the weakest mana core among all 150 special combat class students.

They were about to start the countdown, when Jason turned around.

"Mr. Greil, can you please supervise the battle and summon your Greater Blessed Wolf to prevent anyone from getting injured? We don't want anyone to receive permanent injuries, right?"

This sentence caused the surrounding to laugh out, as it seemed that Jason didn′t want to receive any injuries from the fight, but Till felt completely different with a bad premonition forming in his mind.

He just couldn't get the hang of Jason at all, which was the most dangerous thing that could happen when fighting someone.

Jason was unpredictable which caused even Till to be slightly uncomfortable, as he summoned his white goldish furred wolf.

Turning back to Bella and Milo, Jason saw Milo′s anger, and smiling at him with a radiating smile, caused him to feel even more enraged.

It was as if his eyes said "I want to beat these two idiots into a pulp"

Till ordered his soulbond to radiate his healing ability right off the bat because he felt that something was extremely odd and an uncomfortable feeling spread through his whole body when the countdown slowly began to resound through the combat arena

"3….2…1" When the countdown reached one, Jason stepped forward, while Seron placed both hands on Jason′s back in the center of his scapula, and while the mechanical voice exclaimed "Fight start" Seron immediately released four mana injections within a short succession, flooding Jason with a devastating and almost uncontrollable amount of mana, causing blood to pour out of his orifices.

Meanwhile, Milo covered himself with his wind transmuted mana as he charged towards the two of them with bloodshot eyes and his two daggers in his hands, while Bella shot three water jets toward Jason and Seron.

Not even a second passed until Jason injected all of the mana within him into his eyes while releasing his accumulated killing intent to the fullest potential within his eyes.

Meanwhile, he also utilized the abyssal effect, whichs power was amplified by a few times thanks to his increase in mana core rank, baptism and four mana injections.

"Kneel!"

One could only faintly hear a quiet, yet overbearing voice coming from Jason, filling the whole combat room with a deep sense of death and the subconscious intention to follow his order.

A few weak-willed students at the 4th Adept rank followed his order subconsciously, even though the order wasn′t directed at them, forcing them to kneel down on the ground.

Fear spread through every cell within their body causing their instincts to take action without them noticing it and they couldn't imagine how it would feel if this was directly ordered towards them.
