Resonance

[Skill -Rage Of The Primal- Has been activated]

Shian felt a sudden boost in his strength as the anger in his body got doubled almost instantly. He ignored the strange feeling he was getting and directed all his anger at Zain.

Although Shian a powerful fighter, a second year was vastly different from a first year, so as Shian punched, kicked, swept his foot, threw a jab or went for a tackle, Zain evaded them all easily, making Shian look like a newbie before a veteran fighter.

This in turn made Shian more pissed off, and in turn, his strength was elevated, giving him more explosive speed and force behind his attacks that were beginning to graze Zain's clothing.

'He's getting faster with every attack!!! What kind of battle freak is this?!!!' Zain couldn't help but think after Shian had successfully punched him on his hands for the first time.

Shian unrelenting, kept his pace and eventually made Zain begin to trade blows with him and they entered a deadlock.

Everyone else was busy dodging wooden balls that rained down on them, they expertly dodged balls while counterattcking and destroying several wooden dolls at the same time, it seemed like they had gotten used to dodging stuffs after the test they were forced to go through earlier.

As time progressed, the scions seemed to have entered the zone, and suddenly, they gained enlightement and began to use their abilities.

Niko found his hands transform into sharp beastial claws, and with them, he severed the doll's torso like he was cutting through tofu. His speed was fascinating, as one moment he was here cutting with his claws, and the next, he was elsewhere, doing some damage to another unfortunate doll.

Vanessa had tennis ball sized orange flickering flames that licked the air, hovering over her palms, their heat making the air around her twist and distort.

She hurled the balls at the dolls and exploded them on impact, melting them apart in seconds before she moved to another target.

Lisa on one side, had on her palms, tornados of chilling air, she swung her arms at a cluster of dolls, and the tornados expanded into a wave and froze everything in their wake. She then proceeded to break them apart with ice projectiles with presice aim to their weak spots.

Seth's hands glowed with an otherworldly light, his hands suffused with a bright white and yellow radiance that made the space around him brighter.

He pointed his hands at a doll, and then, a beam of solar energy filled with raw power, left his palms and tore through the air with light speed, lasting for only a split second, but that was enough to create a see through hole in the body of a doll.

Cyril, who everyone was beginning to loose interest in for his weak constitution, brought out the beast in him. He conjured dark green coloured liquid balls of poison, and had them hover around him, then without wasting time, he moved them towards the dolls.

They neither moved fast nor triggered anyones danger sense, but their result was quite shocking.

As a ball touched a doll, the touched part seemed to wither and dry up until it turned into dust, before spreading over to the other parts of the body. And before he knew it, the dolls was blowing away with the wind, not even their ashes were left behind.

Those around felt chills course their spine, they were dodging a few moments ago when suddenly, they witnessed a doll turning into dust, How would they not feel scared? But knowing that Cyril was on their side at the moment, they pushed the thoughts to the back of their minds and focused on their fights.

Adam was still as babaric as ever, he broke through the woods with his fists, and even seemed to be enjoying the fight greatly.

"Yo, samurai, you need help?" Adam called out to Ryan who was struggling a bit.

"No thank you. AND DON'T CALL ME A SAMURAI!!" Ryan made sure to scream the last part because he had seen what Adam could do with his mouth, though his thoughts were currently occupied with something more important.

'I still don't get it.' Ryan thought and evaded a ball before destroying the doll. 'This ability is too confusing, Mind Sorcerer? What kind of ability is this? What's even the point of knowing my ability and a skill of I can't use them?'

Unlike all the other students, Ryan somehow knew what his ability was and could see a skill attached to it, but was struggling to know what it did and how to make use of it.

'Well, I should be grateful for knowing, since I will be able to try it multiple times.' Ryan sighed.

'I guess I can only try again, and this time, I must focus and find any difference between now and the last time I used it.' Ryan thought as he envisioned the sole skill he could see, and focused all his attention on the new doll before him.

He ignored the shouts of pain from the other students, and the sound of woods getting broken and obliterated left and right by the scions. He suddenly lunged at the doll, dodging the few balls it shot at him with instinctual ease, and when he reached it, he grabbed his sixteen inches wide conical hat it by the edges and swung it like a frisbee without letting go.

His hat cut through the air and met its mark –the dolls head– and as it made contact, Ryan's eyes glowed a bright golden light for a second and he called out loud.

"RESONANCE!!!"

His cap suddenly erupted with waves of golden energy that spiralled around the hat. Energy spread out and blew around, but it caused no damage to anyone around... not even the doll.

"Another failu...." But before Ryan could complete his dejected statement, a loud scream that reverberated through the building filled his and everyone's ears.

He shot a glance at the source and saw Zain reeling back and grabbing his hair as if trying to pull them from their base, with gallons of blood flowing down his orifices.

"That can't be...."

It was at that moment that realization dawned on Ryan, and he realized, the true power of his skill, Resonance.
