The fight between Grey and Dave was devastating, destructive, and intense—so much so that some spectators struggled to keep up with the action, their eyes darting across the canvas in an attempt to follow the battle properly. Searᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The second years were in disbelief. They never imagined anyone among them, let alone a first-year, could keep up with Dave and match him blow for blow. Why was this such a shock? Because Dave was the son of a squad captain, granting him immense advantages and privileges. He had been trained firsthand by his father since childhood, growing into a monster in both magic and combat. The same was expected of Vince when he was born, but he turned out to be a weakling, lacking the talent to be considered even a shadow of a competitor for Dave. This subjected Vince to bullying, even among the nobles—and by his own brother. And now, before their eyes, a peasant was going toe-to-toe with Dave, even as he attempted to break through. Now that Dave had fully broken through, the first thing he wanted to do was go all out. Constructs made entirely of metal materialized around him. "You shouldn't have interfered between two siblings! Now, this is your punishment!" Dave shouted, snapping his fingers and sending the metal constructs hurtling toward Grey at frightening speed. 'Shit! I don't have any magic that can block this except Earth. But if I use it here, my lie about only having two affinities will be exposed,' Grey thought. Suddenly, black smoke began appearing from his hand. "What are you doing, Noir? You can't be seen," Grey whispered. "And I won't," Noir replied. The smoke swiftly moved like an invisible blur as the constructs closed in. Grey braced himself, ready to defend, when— BOOM! The constructs blew up entirely. Everyone—Dave, Grey, his friends, and even the second years—stood stunned. A black smoke streaked back toward Grey's hand. "How… how did they blow up?" Grey muttered, staring at his hands. "That's all I can do for you for now. Take care of the rest," Noir said. Grey smirked. 'I guess you're not so useless after all.' Three bolts of lightning flared around him while two wind blades hovered above the ground, their tips aimed at Dave. "My turn!" Grey shouted, snapping his fingers as the lightning bolts shot toward Dave. Dave grinned. A metal sword appeared in his hand as he dashed forward. Pivoting mid-air, he swung the flat side of his sword into one bolt, sending sparks flying before it dissipated. Another bolt came at him, but his arm suddenly hardened into metal, allowing him to slam it away effortlessly. Grey followed up by sending his two wind blades from one side and the final lightning bolt from the other, while he charged straight at Dave. Dave's eyes gleamed. Another sword materialized in his hand. He dashed forward, maneuvering like a nimble cat, deflecting the wind blades and lightning bolt back toward Grey, who leaped backward. A burst of wind shot from Grey's palm, striking Dave and pushing him back. Slapping his hands together, Grey conjured a long lightning bullet and fired it at immense speed. It tore into Dave's shoulder, leaving a deep hole as blood dripped down. Dave froze, staring at his injury. Grey seized the opportunity, zipping forward and slamming his lightning-clad fist into Dave's face, sending him crashing into the metal barrier. Jolts of electricity coursed through Dave's body. Blood trickled from his mouth as he glared at Grey, falling from the barrier. "You shouldn't have done what you did to Vince. Now, you're going to pay for it!" Grey declared, stepping forward. But then Dave chuckled. The chuckle turned into a full-blown laugh. "Make me pay?! Hahaha! Are you delusional?" Dave sneered, rising to his feet. Grey hesitated. "Do these minor injuries give you hope?" He glanced at his shoulder, and to Grey's shock, the wound was healing rapidly. 'How… how is this possible? Does he have healing magic? But how?!' Grey's lips quivered as he took a step back. "That's not healing magic," Noir explained. "It's an advantage of breakthrough mode. It's not as effective as actual healing magic, but it's still handy—and has limits." Dave cackled. "Hahaha! I see your lips quivering. Good! Great! Lovely! Fear me! Revere me! Because you won't have the chance to do so again—you'll be buried right here!" He burst forward with terrifying speed, as if teleporting. Metal engulfed his fist, and he slammed it into Grey's face, sending him flying and bouncing across the canvas. Snapping his fingers, Dave summoned three metal swords and sent them speeding toward Grey, who barely managed to evade using his wind magic. Panting hard, blood dripped from his nose. "I'm… I'm… I'm…" Grey stuttered between ragged breaths. Dave raised an eyebrow. "You're what? Sorry?" he mocked with a chuckle. "I'm… I'm fcking tired of holding back!" Grey roared, his teeth gritted. Looking down at his hands and legs, he saw his lightning boots and gauntlets flickering in and out. 'I only have three seconds before they disappear,' he realized. Clenching his fists, he made his decision. "I just have to make it count! Time to go all out!" Grey shouted. "Keh Keh Keh! Fine, let's go all out!" Dave cackled. Metal gauntlets formed around his hands, metal boots encased his legs, a helmet covered his head, and full-body armor materialized. Grey took a step back, bent forward, and then—boom! He burst forward. Earth formed around his hand, shaping into a deadly, pointed lance as he charged at Dave, who also dashed forward at full speed. "Damn it! If they collide, they won't survive the hit!" Raze shouted, his eyes wide. "No! Someone stop them! They'll take each other out!" Scarlet screamed in fear for Grey's life. "Help is here," Arthur said calmly. The others turned to see him—but no one else. Then— BANG! The barrier shattered. Grey and Dave were moments from colliding, about to unleash their strongest attacks. "Enough of this foolishness!" A powerful voice rang out as someone crashed between them. But Grey and Dave didn't care. They launched their attacks— Only for metal to wrap around the newcomer's arm. With a single swing, he sent them both flying, crashing into the barriers, utterly destroying them. Grey and Dave were knocked out cold.
