Sparring

Few minutes after Tobias was taken out by two of his friends, then a group of twenty instructors entered, led by Head Instructor Riley!

Everyone immediately stood silently as the fear of their first day hadn't gone.

Instructor Riley swept his gaze around the room and scoffed. "I expected more students to be here! So out of the nine thousand students who came to the school, only about five hundred are present/

Pathetic!

I won't even bother asking where those fools are.

How can you even miss the first lesson of an important course?

My expectations for you were low but damn you people are even worse than your predecessors!" Head Instructor Riley's voice boomed throughout the humongous hall.

Many of the students cowered and bowed their heads.

"Since you people are the wise ones among the lot, each and every one of you will be rewarded with 50 CP!" Instructor Riley declared.

Immediately, the eyes of the students brightened immensely!

They had been worrying about how they could acquire more CP and already, 50 CP had dropped into their laps just like that!

Everyone was elated.

"Now that you have proved your wisdom by making it here, you will have to prove your strength. This is an Application class. You come to apply and use the techniques and powers.

We don't talk much here.

This whole period you are going to spar against each other.

The instructors and I present will make sure to prevent any mishaps and give you pointers on what to do to improve your execution of techniques.

Every spar you win, you get 20 CP.

Now we will pick partners for you to spar with so you'll keep fighting till you ran out of mana or stamina," said Instructor Riley.

Everyone's eyes went wide.

This Instructor Riley was truly generous!

Apart from giving them 50 CP for just being present, any spar won would give you 20 CP!

They just needed to win five matchups and have 100 CP!

In addition to the 50 CP, they could go to the school store and be able to buy a technique or two!

They had made the right decision to come.

"Alright. Talking's done. Fighting starts now. The instructors will group you into twenty-five groups of twenty each and lead you to the sparring rings.

Let's make this snappy. We don't have all day!" ordered instructor Riley.

The instructors with him came forward and quickly numbered and arranged everyone in an orderly fashion and led the twenty students in each group to one of the many sparring rings in the humongous hall.

Damien ended up with Austin and Mindy in group 3 while Brianna and Zane got separated from them, ending up in group 5.

The instructor in charge of Damien's group randomly picked two of the people in the group and made them enter the sparring ring.

Damien's interest wasn't in their fight though but rather in the fight going on in Sparring ring 5 near them.

Vishnu, the leader of the Eastern sector's faction confidently got into the ring with one other guy in the group.

"Start!" ordered their instructor.

The guy quickly retreated to leave ample space between him and Vishnu to give him time to cast a spirit technique but how could Vishnu allow him to do so?

In less than two seconds, the distance between him and his opponent was closed and he knocked out the guy with a fist!

The fight lasted barely five seconds!

Those watching the spar gasped while Instructor Riley nodded appreciatively.

That was what he was looking for!

Vishnu checked his comm and saw that he had received a notification saying he had gotten 20 CP!

With a slight smile, he left the sparring ring.

"He's strong!" Damien muttered, narrowing his eyes.

Even though he had a peak body physique, he had noticed that Vishnu was faster than him.

The sparring rings spanned 30 meters square, five times the size of a normal boxing ring!

This showed that Vishnu had insane acceleration and his body was no less strong than Damien's!

And that was him even holding back!

Damien knew that only fools would show all their moves in these spars. After all, the ranking battles were few weeks away!

If you showed too much of your techniques and moves, people would make all forms of plans to counter you.

After all, unlike the spars which no weapons and artifacts were used and injuries were quickly prevented, the ranking battle was bound to be much more hardcore!

Those with prominent backgrounds would immediately have the upper hand because they would be able to use artifacts and weapons to increase their battle strength.

Some would even use pills and elixirs all so as to win.

A simple spar was not the place to show all your moves!

Damien saw that the spar in his group had also ended and a new set were moving in to also spar.

He then turned around to watch other ongoing spars in other rings, observing his future competition.

In group 8, Silas Spears had now gotten into the ring with a burly guy, built like a rock. Obviously, the guy was a pure body path user whose power could enhance his body.

When the instructor gave the signal to start, Silas immediately began to speak.

"Damn bro, you look like a hunk! You look like you can plow through a mountain with that body of yours!" Silas whistled.

"Huh?" the guy was so startled that he even forgot to move.

Since when did Silas Spears give compliments?

"Uh thanks?" the guy replied in confusion, scratching his hair in surprise.

Those paying attention to the spar were bewildered too. They wanted to see what Silas would say next!

"But personally, I do believe in fairness. One cannot have such a body and not be small somewhere! That's not how things work!

Tell me big guy, how does it feel to have all the muscle in the world and be small down there?

It would be so embarrassing!

Ladies would fawn over your body but when you get into bed with them they would probably leave in anger!

If you can't even prove your manhood in that arena, how will you prove it here?

*sigh*

The world is truly fair when it comes to such matters!" Silas said, shaking his head solemnly.

The poor guy stood there in total shock, not believing what he had heard!

Wasn't Silas just saying he had a small d*ck? 

And that his wiener was so small that ladies would refuse to do it with him?

If he couldn't even prove his strength there, how could he then prove his strength here?

Fuck, that was so blunt and embarrassing! 

Those watching let out snickers of mockery. 

Who said Silas had changed? 

He was still the foul mouthed person he was!

Just a few words from his mouth had left his opponent looking defeated and lost! 

Taking his sweet time, Silas just walked over to his dazed opponent. "Don't be sad. You're not the only little man down there. 

I'm sure if we pulled down people's pants to check they might even be smaller than you!

It's so sad!

Let me put you out of your misery brother," he said, patting the guy's shoulder as if he truly felt sad for him.

The boy nodded absentmindedly, still trying to come to terms with what he had heard.

The next moment, Silas cocked his fist and punched him in the face with a wide smirk!

The guy had no time to react from such a fast attack from point blank range and immediately fell to the mat like a ton of bricks!

Everyone gasped.

Silas was too vicious!

He gave his opponent emotional damage, comforted him and sucker punched him out of nowhere!

He truly had no shame.

Damien's brow furrowed. Just like Vishnu, Silas had held back a lot of his power! And already he was this strong!

Just like Vishnu, Silas also had a strong body to be able to drop such a muscled guy with just a punch!

"It seems I can't be too complacent," Damien murmured.

He wasn't the only talented person here and out there. 

He had to work harder!

"You there, you're up next," the instructor called out to him, motioning at Damien to get into the ring.

Damien nodded and walked into the ring confidently.

He was determined to come out on top!
