Damian vs Cain, shortest battle ever.
The teacher informed them about how the evaluation test would be like, they would have a combat session of one round and depending on the display of prowess and capability, she would decide for them to pass to the second round which was measuring one's physique after which they would, move to testing their soul then the last would be held on the combat room. Anyone was allowed to challenge their opponents as drawing lots would be a hassle.
Damian and Sagara just stood still waiting for challengers, of course not anybody came close to Sagara as they've already seen some of his display of powers and as such was dubbed the strongest student of the second year. The first to be challenged out of the two was Damian, who was challenged by the Assistant class rep, the 4th strongest person in the class with a unique grade regalia. "Damian, I challenge you!!" The Assistant class rep said without any hint of the arrogant tone of before, he seemed to have noticed that Damian has already grown strong enough to be recognized.
"I accept!" Damian said without hesitation, even though his regalia was just an earth grade regalia he had confident because of its overall abilities, he had no intention of using his new abilities as he felt it was unnecessary. Few seconds later, Freya walked up to Sagara challenging him, as the second strongest person in the class she was the only one who had little chance on beating Sagara even if it was only 10%.
After 5 minutes, everybody had already had their sparring partner except one seeing that they were 33 students in the class one person was bound to not have a sparring partner. It was the most secretive student in the classroom, in fact nobody even remembers his face as he always wears a hoody that covers most of his face. The first set of persons to fight were the bottom rankers as they wanted to save the strongest sets for last.
After about one hour it finally got to the top ten, the differences in abilities was vast, as the lowest grade of regalia was rare grade while earth grade dominated while three unique grade and 1 heaven grade which belonged to Freya. It finally got to Damian's battle with the assistant class rep. They stood face to face with each other while everyone had their eyes on them. From the looks of things the assistant class rep whose name was Cain didn't plan on attacking first so Damian mad the first move dashing towards Cain, his base speed was insane as people couldn't even follow his movement properly, even Cain was caught off guard as he didn't notice Damian using any energy or even his regalia.
Cain had barely avoided the attack as he leaped back increasing the distance between them. Everyone was surprised as they didn't expect anyone to move like that without using zeta energy or their regalia. "This is the result of years of intense physical training!" The teacher muttered as she stared at Damian intensely. Meanwhile Mr. John whom heard it couldn't help but disagree in his mind as he knew that Damian had recently stepped into the world of regalia himself. This was the doing of his regalia but passively.
"It seems I underestimated you, it won't happen again!" Cain said as purple energy began to sip out of his body indicating his unique grade regalia. Damian still didn't activated his regalia yet ash he had confidence on his base physical stats. As he dashed towards Cain with incredible speed he suddenly felt his weight doubling before coming to a halt 2 meters away from Cain. Of course he could still move but he felt slower than an average human as his body weight had sky rocketed. "You seem confused, I like giving my opponent a hint before I finish them, right now you're under the pressure of 1500 kg, it's amazing that you're still able to stand but with your speed, you're more of a snail than a human" Cain taunted as his arrogance was already building up.
After Damian heard Cain's word there was a smile on his face as he planned to wipe that little arrogance of his face. At that moment Cain felt a heavy pain on his stomach sending him flying like a broken kite.
[Regalia activated, current stats at 200}
With his stats at 200 he could easily withstand a pressure up to 2000kg, he didn't plant to stop there as he felt the pressure on his body lifted up since Cain had been forced to cancel the regalia effect with a powerful punch, his speed easily reached almost 200 meter per second, combined with his strength of 2000kg, he easily dominated the battle, each punch Damian could hear the cracking of bones which made him feel pity after about 15 seconds the winner of the fight was obvious, it was the shortest fight in history,. It seemed more like a legendary rank beating a common grade. Although the blue aura was an obvious fact that Damian had an earth grade regalia.
What people didn't know was that, A fight didn't naturally depend on the rank of the regalia, the rank of a regalia represents, the power and intensity of an ability, it also gives a higher aura than low grades, the things that determined a battle was firstly, the ability of the regalia itself, second was control and experience over the regalia, something that could also be a game changer was the control over zeta energy itself. And the only thing that Cain had over Damian was a higher aura, Seeing that his regalia could control gravity of 1500 kg, it could be used to attack, defend or even support the user instead not using it to dominate the entire area.
After the battle people with lower ranked regalia had a little bit of self-confidence as the peonies to train their regalia even more. "What an interesting kid, what did you think about him?" The class teacher asked whole MR John could only smile. "He has great potential and don't you even think about brain washing him to be some kind of a disciple or something, I had longed set my eyes on him"
