A few minutes ago, Grey was still in the canteen, eating quietly while Greg and his two friends had already left to go wherever they wanted. Grey continued eating slowly until he was finally done, then he went to drop off his dishes, thanking the chef before leaving the canteen with his hands in his pockets. "I wonder if Scarlet and the rest managed to stop Vince from acting stupid," Grey mumbled as he headed toward his dorm room slowly, his head lowered in thought. "I really don't want anything bad to happen to Vince. He was the first noble I ever met who didn't act proud or haughty. Probably because he was a weakling like the peasants, but he is still down to earth," he muttered as he stood in front of his dorm room, his hand resting on the handle. But then, he froze, staring at the door. "Do it already. I know you want to head to the arena, so do so before it's too late," Noir said as Grey's hand hovered on the door handle. 'Why aren't Scarlet and the rest back with him if they managed to knock some sense into him? Did something happen? But from what I gathered, the dude that wants to duel with Vince is his elder brother, so he won't do something drastic, right?' Grey thought, pressing his hand further onto the door handle, about to twist it. "F*ck it! There's no harm in heading there to see if he is okay," Grey said to himself as he let go of the door handle and turned around, heading towards the arena with his hands still in his pockets. He started out slow and steady, his mind deep in thought, but as he walked, his pace began to pick up. His heart thumped louder and louder the closer he got to the arena stationed at the end of the academy's building. As he approached, he noticed the massive crowd gathered, further cementing that he was in the right place. Seeing the number of people blocking his view, he used his wind magic to float above them, his eyes scanning the fight below. The first thing he saw was Vince's battered body, covered in multiple injuries and cuts, yet he still didn't give up. He kept moving, only to be sent flying by a punch to the face. Even so, he came back again, this time landing a punch to Dave's gut. "He… he got him? Did I underestimate Vince?" Grey muttered, eyes fixed on the fight. The crowd was so focused that no one noticed someone floating above them. Grey, still watching, noticed something different about Dave. The entire atmosphere around him shifted after Vince landed the hit, and his suspicion was confirmed when he heard Noir screaming in his head. "You dumbass human! Get your friend out of there right this moment!" Noir screamed. "Huh? Why? Although I feel something is wrong, that dude shouldn't be able to move after Vince landed that bl—" Grey stuttered as a strange energy erupted around Dave, throwing Vince against the barrier and electrocuting him on the spot. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then he heard Dave's friends yelling at him that he was going too far. His eyes were now white, his hair floated above his shoulders, and energy spilled out of him as he slowly walked toward Vince. "You fool! If you don't act fast, Vince will die! What his brother is using is the breakthrough mode—a state that grants the user an immense amount of mana, making their spells and magic exponentially stronger. I don't have time to lecture you! His breakthrough is still incomplete, so you still have a chance. Once it's complete, not even you can stop him!" Noir screamed as they saw Dave create a massive metal spear, while Scarlet and the rest prepared to charge. Flames burst wildly around Scarlet. "If you say it's dangerous, then…" Grey muttered as the wind around him intensified, sending a powerful gust through the crowd. In an instant, lightning gauntlets and boots materialized on his hands and legs. Then, with a thunderous burst, he shot forward at immense speed, his lightning armor and wind magic propelling him. He crashed into the barrier, shattering it completely, and landed in front of the spear, grabbing it with his gauntlet-covered hands. "What… what do you think you are doing?!" Grey shouted, his brown hair floating as a powerful burst of wind sent Dave skidding backward. "Woah! Who the hell is that?" someone in the crowd asked. "The real question is, why the hell would someone foolishly crash into that place?" another muttered. "That… Grey?!" Scarlet exclaimed as the wild flames around her began to subside. Grey rose to his feet, gripping the spear before swinging it back toward Dave. But with a mere touch of his fingertip, Dave caused the spear to explode into metallic fragments. "How… how dare you interrupt me?!" Dave roared, slowly floating into the air. "More like, how dare you do that to my friend?!" Grey shouted, invisible sparks crackling in the air between them. "Friend?" Dave sneered, then chuckled. "That weakling over there isn't supposed to have any friends. He isn't even supposed to be in this academy at all!" "Oh? And you have the right to be here?! Clearly, you've lost control. A hotheaded fool like you shouldn't even be allowed here, let alone be sent on missions!" Grey retorted. "Clearly, you don't know who I am or what I'm capable of," Dave said as his body began to glow softly. "Oh, I know who you are, alright—a jerk and a hotheaded dumbass who would kill his own younger sibling, the one he should be protecting. You're a disgrace to us older siblings!" Grey growled as lightning bolts struck the ground around him. "Grey, hurry up! His breakthrough is becoming complete!" Noir warned, his voice filled with urgency. "And I will make sure you pay," Grey said, his feet shifting as his narrowed eyes locked onto Dave. Lightning crackled around him, growing more intense as he crouched low, pressing his hands against the ground like a sprinter at the starting line. "Make you pay for hurting my friend!" he roared as he exploded forward with a resounding bang that echoed throughout the entire arena.
