Awakening Of The Divine Eyes

{Author's note: I am back boys and girls, and im feeling much better than before. Thank you for waiting patiently for my next upload, really appreciate it}

-"An enhanced constitution"-

-"Enhanced vision? Like mana eyes? Oh my~"-

-"We have to recruit her into our academy! God knows how much potential she has!"-

-"You really think she will join a small academy like yours? She can join the one of the prestigious academies if she wishes and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it"-

-"Maybe we can get her to join our guild?!"-

-"Good idea newbie"-

'...'

Watching the display the crowd as set in front of my eyes, I couldn't help but sigh. Looking at them with a mixture of both disappointment and pity as if I was a parent scolding their child, I sighed again and looked back towards the women I had already forgotten the name of again. This time, I sighed in disappointment due to my own incompetence, not someone else's.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you such a question." The women apologized

"No it's fine, it is my fault for not realising this is the kind of reaction that I would have gotten if I said those words in front of anyone." I sighed for the umpteenth times

Before the women could even say anything, we heard a loud shout from behind that got everyone's attention and had quietened down the hall of people.

"My name is Alexander Riall and I challenge you to a duel. I wish to fight you at your full strength if you do not mind Miss Raven. I hope you accept my duel" The young man spoke with both elegance and respect.

'Wow! Someone who had been raised correctly?! How is this possible!? How can someone be humble in this world of pathetic humans?! There is no way... This must be a trap!' I humoured inwardly with a chuckle. While looking towards the brown haired boy.

The boy was around 4ft 3 and had long brown hair that was put into a ponytail that reached his upper back. His eyes glistened with a beautiful light brown while even though he had a mostly deadpan expression, there was both determination and excitement behind that expression. He was wearing a tuxedo with a deep purplish red shirt and a black vest. He had taken the black blazer off before rolling his sleeved up to his shoulders and taking his deep magenta gloves off.

"Hou~ Sure why not. One thing though, we should probably go to the outside arena since there may be a bit of destruction" I replied while looking at his mana heart which was both larger and a lot more condensed than mine is. Even without my mana eyes, I could tell the approximate size and power within someone's mana heart unless they are actively supressing it, which is the case with my mother, father and even Juilam.

"Yes, that would be sensible" Replied the kid while walking towards the entrance of the hall.

As we everyone went towards the entrance, my parents and Aroura were at the back worrying for my wellbeing. They had known who the person who challenged me was, and they thought that the chances of me actually winning were quite low. While my mother might have been jumping in joy, this was not the time for it.

"we are here." I said while walking towards the middle of the huge garden/arena. I would say it had a radius of around 200 meters.

"Then, should we start or should I wait for you to take your bandages of your eyes?" Asked the boy

"Oh? Sure but I wont be opening my eyes much since it would cause a major headache to ensue right after." I chuckled

"That's fine, I just want you to go all out" he replied with a semi-monotone voice that couldn't hide his excitement.

I could see many in the crowd look at me in pity while those who supported the a*shole I fought earlier were chuckling at what they thought was my dismay.

"How old are you by the way?" I asked while unwrapping my eyes.

"10 years old." He replied nonchalantly

"Then I hope we become good friends after this, since I'm sure you don't really care about having my hand in marriage." I chuckled

"You are quite preceptive" The boy acknowledged

Finally unwrapping my eyes from the bandages yet keeping them closed, Gen walked to the middle of the arena to be the referee for this match. The moment she had gotten to the middle and had raised her right hand into the air, we both got into fighting stances.

A weird aura erupted out of the boy in front of me as even Gen flinched for a second from the intensity of the aura.

-"A battle Intent?"-

-"That is a true prodigy right there!"-

-"so talented at a young age... Don't people need to fight many battles to get battle intent of this scale?"-

'So it's called battle intent huh... I guess this will be quite fun wont it... hehe~' I mused to myself

"On your stance!" Gen roared before slashing down with her right arm before shouting "Fight"

For the first second, none of us moved as the entire area became silent, waiting for out move. However, the next second, all non-fighters could see was a blur as we both moved towards each other at frightening speeds.

To my surprise, his speed was close to mine, and even though I wasn't using my top speed, I knew he want either.

'To think you can match the speed of a Divine being such as myself...' I thought while become serious.

We both met in the middle of the garden, clashing both our forearms into each other while sending a shockwave outwards powerful enough to push Gen back a little and also be felt by the crowd.

Pushing for a bit longer, none of us had gotten the upper hand on one another as we hadn't started using magic yet. While I wasn't using my full strength, my weight alone should have flung him back, but he was still able to hold on.

'This must be the 'body enhancing techniques' warriors use when fighting. While I can't use it due tot he fact that it does not support Divine mana, my body alone should have been enhanced enough, yet he isn't budging!' I thought while analysing the situation.

jumping back first, the boy had thought he won the clash but he was severely mistaken. While launching backwards, I created a spell on the floor which would shoot up immediately after someone moved over it, and now that the boy was focused on me with his rush of adrenaline, his peripheral vision will decrease in size and his environmental senses will be dulled.

The moment the boy had moved on top of the spell, a sense of danger overwhelmed him while his environmental awareness was returned to him, but it was still little too late. A spear made out of earth had shot towards his abdomen, but in a split second, the boy was able to twist his torso and narrowly dodge the attack.

unfortunately for him, I had many more attacks to present to him and I wasn't going to let him dodge so easily. Dozens of spears made out of fire were created in a split second as I acted like I was doing hand signs the whole time.

Quickly flipping backwards, the boy shot a wall of earth up to block the spears, but cursing his own bad luck, he found that not only were the spears shooting through his walls within seconds, but more spears were created behind him, forcing him to expend more mana to create a second and third wall.

Essentially entrapping himself, I took advantage of his situation by creates a blue flamed great sword made out of solidified fire and slashed it towards the wall. The wall was split in half in an instant while I moved towards the boy at high speeds.

'This is bad' The boy thought as at this moment, we was likely to lose.

Creating several earth cocoons in an instant, they all enveloped his body to protect him while creating an egg shaped dome with several earth chains on the outside. I looked towards the cocoon with a smirk as I put more mana into my sword making it flare up a little.

However, before I could slash the cocoon apart, a strong invisible battle aura shout of the cocoon while multiple cracks appeared on it, blasting apart the next second. There stood a boy with earthy armour all over his body while holding an immensely heavy heavy sword made out of chunks and chucks of condensed earth. However, even though I could tell the armour and the sword were very heavy, they did not look like they were burdening their user and wearer at all.

Two wings double the size of his arms sprouted from his back as he now looked like a earthy angel.

Wasting no time, he charged toward my spot with the intention to hurt me, which I did not welcome with open arms as I sidestepped towards the right while shooting an earth pillar from behind where I once stood.

However, before the pillar could even reach within a meter of the boy, it had halted and shot out another puller from the pillar itself towards my direction.

"This battle is quite intense... Who do you think is going to win" Asked Aroura with worry

"Have a little faith in your sister, she hadn't even shown any of her advanced or even lord stage spells yet" replied the healer before the mother or Grandmother could even reply

"You should have a little more faith in your sister, she is quite strong you know" My grandmother chuckled while looking towards the fight.
