75: Quickly over

Quickly over

Jason had never fought against anyone with an affinity except the wind bison but that hadn't been a real fight if he were to be honest.

Leo shouted arrogantly "HAHA… it's better to be my errand boy than pissing me off… don´t you think so, little maiden?"

Jason was astonished that he was called maiden... I know I'm handsome, but bro… I'm a boy...or maybe I'm also beautiful? Ahh, nevermind that!!`

If he was honest, Jason had become extremely narcissistic since he had awoken his eyes.

There had been a time when he hadn't been confident in his own body which was different now.

Jason thought he was extremely good-looking but beautiful?

The fight started and Jason was taken off guard, as he had been thinking about his handsomeness.

This caused him to be oblivious to the earth spikes that suddenly shot out of the platform, surrounding him as they pierced into his calves without giving him the chance to react.

Letting out an anguished cry, he tried in vain to break out of the earth spikes when Leo Heart appeared next to him. He had a devilish smile on his face as mana encased his gauntlets, causing them to shine brightly.

Mr.Greil was about to call it off when he saw something particular in Jason's eyes that caused him to hesitate for a second.

`F**K… don´t die little one!`

He was a moment too late to save Jason and his face turned anxious thinking of the injury Jason would sustain. However, what he witnessed next shocked him. He saw Jason's eyes piercing into Leo´s eyes which had been fierce and full of anger before they suddenly turned blank.

Leo collapsed on the ground, laying there as if he was knocked out by Jason, but he hadn't even touched him. The whole combat arena went eerily silent as the spectators were stumped.

Nobody knew what had transpired in those few seconds and one could only see Jason struggling to stay firmly on the ground while blood began to ooze out of his eyes like a small stream.

*Seconds before*

Leo didn't want to kill Jason and he was sure of the fact that their teacher would prevent him from killing Jason as well.  He simply curled his fingers into fists so as to attack him by releasing all the pent-up anger he had stored within.

Even if Jason hadn't been the cause of all his frustration, he had been in need of a punching bag. And, right now the perfect victim was in front of him.

Jason had noticed that something was off when the teacher didn't call off the attack as Leo Heart's mana-enhanced gauntlets were a hair's breadth away from him.

In a last ditch effort to protect himself, Jason had utilised his fully stored mana and had redirected it to his eyes. In a split second, he unleashed the whole vast amount of mana at once through his eyes, while staring at Leo.

Leo gazed into Jason's eyes that seemed to tell him that he was an ant, an insignificant being in front of him when Jason´s eyes turned gigantic, enveloping his entire existence.

While they grew in size, Leo's senses were completely sealed off and he felt like he was spiraling down an eerie and frightful darkness, a bottomless pit behind the golden luster of Jason´s eyes.

It seemed as if he was imprisoned within the abyss and it shocked him to the core as dread seeped into his bones.

This short moment felt like an eternity to Leo as he suddenly stuttered when he saw something particular gazing at him.

He began to sweat profusely and the sheer force made him stumble backward before his eyes turned wet and his teeth began to involuntarily chatter.

Suddenly the abyss in his mind vanished, throwing Leo back into reality when his brain registered the eternity that had passed inside his mind within a millisecond.

It couldn't handle the shock and momentarily shut down as Leo slumped to the ground in front of Jason.

Jason didn't know what exactly had happened to Leo, but he had an inkling of what his eyes could do, at least to a certain degree because the same had happened when he had been sparring with Greg.

One time Jason was so annoyed by Greg, that he had used up a small amount of mana inside his eyes while fighting with Greg.

Suddenly Greg's moves had slowed down and restricted.

After a second, Greg was freed but that wasn´t the main fact.

When that happened, Greg had looked at Jason with shock when he told him that Jason´s eyes had enveloped him somehow, welcoming him to an uncanny darkness, like an abyss.

Greg didn't want to experiment with his ability ever again, because the abyss, i.e, the darkness, had been too eerie.

Emboldened by Greg's words, Jason had wanted to test this ability by utilising his entire amount of mana but there had been no one to test it on.

Now, while fighting with Leo, as his fists with the shimmering gauntlets had been a second away from knocking him down, he couldn't think of a different way to save defend himself Thus, he had been forced to use the [abyssal effect], of his eyes that he gave a name, to end the whole battle before it had even begun.

Jason was still on his feet, but only due to the support of the earth spikes digging in his calves.

Otherwise, he would also have collapsed on the ground, as his mind felt sluggish.

Mr. Greil shattered the earth spikes immediately and transported both of them near his soulbond wolf that radiated the white light with its healing characteristics.

An eerie silence had enveloped the entire arena and nobody moved a muscle as identical expressions of utter disbelief were mirrored across the face of every single spectator including their teacher.

It took everyone a few minutes to digest the whole battle before some of them found the energy to move and began gossiping with each other.

Nobody asked a question, but everyone had the same one in their mind.

`What happened? `

Every pair of eyes was trained on their teacher, waiting for an explanation, but they noticed a similar confused expression telling them that not even he knew what was going on.

As such, the whispered murmurs died down and they all waited in anticipation for their teacher to do something.

Once he checked Jason´s injuries and Leo´s mind, he declared the outcome of the battle.

"This battle was a tie. Next one please" 

Normally, Jason would have won this fight as he had been on his feet in the end while Leo was lying unconscious on the ground, meaning Jason's and Leo's rank would be switched. He would change to the 4th, while Leo´s would decrease to the 224th.

However, Till knew that if he allowed this to happen, Jason would probably be tormented and bullied to no end and Till couldn't protect him 24/7..

In the end, he decided to declare the fight as a tie.

Jason was just too weak right now, even if his combat prowess seemed to be extremely strong for a newly advanced 6th Novice rank.

The fights continued but not many rankings changed and the whole class ranking battle ended with only a few slightly injured youths, while Jason lost his consciousness.

Leo was also unconscious and the two of them seemed to have sustained the most serious injuries compared to the rest.

Leo´s mind seemed to work fine and only sleep would be required to heal his psyche, while Mr. Greil thought the same about Jason´s case.

Because of that, they were both brought to the infirmary..

*

It was afternoon already when Jason woke up in an unknown room.

Trying to stand up, he was astonished to notice that his calves weren't hurting or even numb.

He looked around to see Leo lying on a bed next to him with a stupid facial expression.

If Jason was honest to himself, he didn't know what to think about Leo.

`Did he really want to kill me or was it an accident? Why didn't Mr.Greil save me?`

Several questions buzzed through his head when the infirmary door opened and Mr.Greil walked inside, with a nurse behind him.

They noticed that Jason was already awake and standing on his feet as Mr. Greil approached him.0

"Jason, I think I´ve got to apologize. I hesitated for a fraction of a second to save you when I saw your eyes shining and it ended up in a mess because of me...

Luckily nobody is heavily injured and I hope you won't hold a grudge against me,"  he apologized sincerely.

Jason noticed his honesty and accepted the apology.

He didn't hold a grudge because everything ended up relatively well, without him getting severely injured.

Even if he were to hold a grudge, to whom would he complain? His teacher was extremely strong and had probably an extremely high authority within Astrix.

After accepting the apology, Jason decided to go home, as he had nothing to do within the school anymore.

He even forgot to change his clothes when he called a shuttle as Jason had been running around with his jeans that were ripped at the calves.

It was probably extremely funny to look at if one would ignore the bloodstains.

When the shuttle arrived, he entered it and went inside the soul world in order to practice the Heaven's Hell technique diligently.

Because of his breakthrough in his mana core rank, his soul energy reached 6.7 units and Jason was happily leading around the shapeless energy, injecting it inside the soul world core within 25 minutes.

The shuttle arrived at its destination right when Jason finished his practice. He decided to practice the Heaven's Hell technique while traveling to and fro to school within the shuttle every day as it was a tranquil place while the timing seemed to fit perfectly.

When he entered the small house, he was now living in with the Flers, Gabriella was the first one to see him as she greeted him with a smile.

"Hello Jason, why are you so late… how was your d-dAYYYY?" The last words almost turned in a shriek when she saw what Jason looked like.

He wasn't wearing his uniform, because it was stained by impurities and right now, Jason´s lower body looked like he had survived a massacre.

The part below his thighs was almost completely smeared with blood and Gabriella noticed the holes inside his pants.

She hurriedly ran over to him in order to inspect his injuries, as Jason shared the details of the small class ranking battle.

"SMALL? You look like you have returned from the warzones!!!!" She shouted and Jason was grateful for her worry but she was extremely loud, attracting the attention of the other family members who got curious by her raised voice.

When they saw Jason´s look, Greg and Malia immediately rushed to him, before they noticed that he was fine.

Jason was uncomfortable about getting touched by multiple hands at once and he asked all of them to sit down and let him explain everything.

As such, they sat down before Jason began talking about the things that happened over the whole day, beginning with the lessons and his breakthrough.

"WHAT!! You already broke into the 6th Novice rank!?!!" Greg cried out and Malia urged him to consolidate his mana core before ranking up, when Jason continued explaining that he had already consolidated his mana core after his breakthrough.

"WHAT?!?!!" Now it was Malia to cry out loudly and she looked as shocked as everyone else.

Even if the 6th Novice rank was nothing special for his age, consolidating his mana core within two hours was more than a little bit fast…

He finished retelling all the major events of the day neatly and saw Gabriella and Malia fuming with anger. 

"What kind of teacher is that, to neglect his student on the first day!!! I should call the principal and complain about him,"  Gabriella said and she was already opening her quantum bracelet when Jason calmed her down.

Greg was quiet and feeling a little bit weird when he heard about Jason releasing his whole mana pool inside his eyes to activate the [Abyssal effect].

Being reminded about it, caused him to stutter in fright as he tried to shake off the feeling.

Jason wanted to go upstairs to wash his clothes when he was reminded about his Holy white baruci fruit which used up too much space. He turned to the Flers that were like a family to him.

"Can I borrow some credits from someone, please? I want to contract another soulbond,"  Jason innocently asked while everyone shot him perplexed looks.

"Huhh???"
