"Times up! The second assessment is over, all teams are to stop whatever they are doing right now! Failure to comply would bred terrible confidence!" Hearing that, the killing intent aura from the two, quickly dispersed as Grey fell to the ground huffing in pain and so did Nozel as they both glared at each other while kneeling on the ground. 'My whole body is screaming in pain and I think I might have broken a rib or something.' Grey thought as his chest tightened the more he breathed in and out. 'I can't believe that I would ever struggle in a fight but that is because I had limited myself in strength. If I had unleashed my full powers as a 3 star mage along with my other two affinities, then I'm sure this arrogant noble wouldn't last long at all. But I guess I should take my limitation as a form of training while in this academy. Bulldozing my way through problems doesn't work at times so me limiting myself, would help me grow more.' "You are lucky that the assessment is over." Nozel said as he slowly stood up albeit in pain. 'Darn! Who would ever thought that I would encounter a commoner that could go toe to toe with me in strength. If it was a noble or royal, it would be understandable. But a commoner? Besides, what was that that held me down earlier before I used my liquid metal magic?' Nozel thought as he stared at Grey weirdly. "This is not over yet! I would advise you keep watching your back." Nozel said. "That is my line you proud noble!" Grey shouted. 'I can't believe it, I saw a noble that could contend with me in strength even though I was limiting myself. If someone as young as this could be this powerful, I hate to imagine how powerful the elders must be especially the emperor.' Grey thought with a shudder. "All applicants are advised to stay wherever they are, the teleportation mages would come pick them up shortly." Amir's voice rang out in the forest and soon enough, three mages appeared in the forest each grabbing onto one person and then teleporting away. Liam who was still unconscious was lifted up by the mage while teleporting away. Same with Nozel and Grey as they were grabbed by the arm each. "I will make sure I settle the scores with you, you peasant!" Nozel shouted as he got teleported and a smirk appeared on Grey's face as he also got teleported too. Opening his eyes, he found himself back at the coliseum with the other students and then some people descended into the coliseum and rushed to those that were injured especially Grey as a beautiful young woman came forward towards him and placed her hands that began to glow bright white on Grey's body. His body suddenly felt soothed as all the aches and pain suddenly vanished while his nose was being fixed and in a few seconds, he was good as new. 'A healer? I guess the captains already thought of the encounter thereby stationing healing mages everywhere just in case.' Grey thought and then he smiled towards the young woman. "Thank you." "No mention, just doing my duty." She said returning the smile while walking away to tend to others. "Hey Grey!" Grey heard a voice calling him and on turning around, he could see Raze walking towards him along with the others with Scarlet staring at him with a frown. "Oh?! You are still alive?! I thought you would be dead by now." Scarlet commented as she walked over. "I'm not as weak as you." Grey replied nonchalantly while Scarlet just scoffed. "The crystals? Did you guys manage to hunt any beasts?" He asked and then he saw the faces of the whole group turn sour the next moment while looking at each other. "What happened guys?" He asked. "Should we tell him?" Vince asked. "Somebody has to." Raze said. "Well certainly not me, I don't want to be electrocuted." Arthur replied. "Wimps." Scarlet commented. "What the hell is going on guys?!" Grey shouted feeling panic wash over him as he was scared that his chances of getting to the academy would be ruined at this point. Seeing Grey panic, Raze calmly walked towards him albeit with a sour and sad expression on his face and then he was about to place his palm on his shoulders when Grey swiftly avoided it in time. Seeing this, Raze just calmly placed his hands in his pockets and looked at Grey. "You see the issue is that." Raze said and then he looked down with a saddened expression on his face before lifting it back up with a wide smile on his face. "We got the crystals! Even more than what we were supposed to get all thanks to you." "What?!" Grey shouted as he took a step back and looked at the others that had smiles on their faces except Scarlet who just scoffed. "If… if you got the crystals, then what was the moody faces you made earlier?" "We just decided to prank you a bit." Raze shrugged. "And arrogant queen there played along?" Grey said pointing at Scarlet. "Anything to see you tormented." Scarlet replied and then Grey had his head held down with his hands clenched.

Then slowly, Raze heard sizzling and crackling coming from Grey which caused all the hairs on his body to rise up in fear as he took a step back when Grey lifted his head with lightning appearing in his hands. "I told you guys this was a bad idea." Arthur said with a gulp as he was seen taking a step back while Grey lifted his hands pointing it towards them with a stern look on his face while the others had frightened expressions on their faces. "Gotcha." Grey said as the lightning diminished and he smirked while walking forward and the others all had a stunned expression on their faces. "What was that?" Scarlet asked as she was also frightened earlier since she knew how powerful Grey was after getting hit by his wind magic earlier. "You guys played a prank on me, so it's only right if I did the same too." Grey shrugged as he walked towards the front of the coliseum leaving the rest behind with a stunned expression on their faces.
