While the conflict ensued at the Staff Building, the Treasure Hunting was finally reaching its conclusive end. The Giant RainForest seemed eerily quiet from afar, compared to the conflicts that ensued within. Teams had fought against themselves to upstage the others' treasures, with one side suffering drastic backlash and some others gaining a lot more than they were satisfied with. Team Gold, consisting of Rana and her team, were just returning from the other side of the Forest, their treasures hidden perfectly well within their subspace ring. It was an easy and quick role she had to play, and they had obtained a satisfactory amount to take them back to the first place. Their figures rushed down the greenery, under the shades of the tall, giant trees, their next destination set in mind. It was around there that a loud, sudden bestial scream caught them by surprise. Rana flinched, and so did the others, their surprise made palpable by their reaction. "It seems they're facing as much difficulty as we did". "Technically, we really didn't". Jonny replied, his thoughts reeling in. It had been a perfectly done job, as most of the members of the Treasure Hunting team had rushed off to the northern part because of the rumours of the legendary equipment. Of course, they did as well, but Jane's leadership enabled him to see the bigger picture. Which was splitting up. It was well within their means because of the number of capable fighters within them, and that had played well for them. Team Bronze seemed to have avoided conflict altogether, focusing on the only objective of the game and, thus, the result of their high scores. Team Gold, however, didn't linger behind them in any way; in fact, with them splitting up, it made things a lot easier to stack up points. Jonny glanced up at the timer, a smirk on his face. "Five minutes more, let's make this count". He said when the bestial scream echoed through the forest yet again. This startled the group further and raised their intrigue to an all-time high. With solid steps and a sudden burst of energy, two out of the group increased their pace, nearly twofold, the others lingering behind them. "Oh, come on!" Jonny cried out in protest as Rana Lana and Sonia Locks, the petite Warrior with a mace charged forward in quick strides. "Anyone else wanna leave us behind?" He asked, sarcasm etched in his tone as he laughed a moment later, their steps echoing within the quiet forest. Far into the distance, the fight between Jane and Andrej was coming to its, or at least attempting to. A solid thrust of air erupted as Jane swung his arm upwards from below to the boy's chin in an uppercut, a fearsome expression written on his face as he did so. "You sicken me". He said as the force sent Andrej reeling backwards. A few seconds later, Andrej shook his head, the pain receding as he charged forward with heavy steps. His movements were fluid despite his sudden large size, and his actions were as they once were. What made it different was his level of intelligence, something Jane came to realize in their scuffle. 'He keeps losing his touch with humanity....and becomes more and more like a Demon....what sort of phenomenon is this?' He bit his lips in annoyance, sidestepping the bestial figure as it slammed its fist into the ground, causing a shudder that broke it and depressed the ground into a crater. Jane groaned as he took a step forward, raising his leg in the air, suffused with Divine mana and swung it against Andrej. Three successive wind drafts occurred as he kicked Andrej on its knee, fluidly moving it next to its chest and then its head, causing a stir of pain and shock to spread through its body. Andrej recoiled from the last hit, his head snapping to the sides as saliva and blood dripped out from its mouth. Jane stumped his feet to the ground, golden energy suffusing him and suddenly erupting around them like a dome of light, piercing into the skies. The phenomenon caused a sudden pressure on Andrej, pushing his body into the crater further, and smashing him against the earthen surface of the RainForest. "Not hard enough, huh". He clenched his fist, a ball of golden mana ensuing around it and gripped his fist harder. The action caused a stir on his fist and the golden mana ignited like the exhaust fumes of a rocket engine. Shooting upwards in a golden glow. He groaned lightly as he swung his fist down on Andrej, a bestial scream ensuing as an eruption of power and energy occurred. BOOM! The force of the blow caused a burn scar of his fist deep in the flesh of its back as Jane placed his left hand on the beast to hold it steady and reigned down a barrage of punches with the right, suffused in ignited golden mana. Each strike was like an explosion of sound, a sonic boom occurring at every interval of his fist striking its flesh. This sent a drastic shockwave of pain through its body as it remained motionless on the floor, screaming out in pain of anguish. Tomaz stood away from the scene, his gaze flickering in shock as he watched the brutal scene. 'What? That was what they wanted us to face? Even with the Crimson Puff, he seems like someone difficult to face'. They often underestimated their opponents, and this time, it seemed like they did at a long shot. 'His mana keeps growing....does divine mana not run out? I was planning on attacking after Bestial Andrej tires him out, but I may have to retreat and escape immediately after the Test...' It had become evident, the moment Andrej pulled out the vial, that they would no longer be accepted in the academy. The academy was built on blood, and trained students strong enough to fight against a Demon King and the Devil King. They would rather eat with kingdom enemies than with demons and demonic humans, that's just how strict they became. Demon Kings were known as the generals of the Devil King, and regional leaders of all demons in their territories in Hades. They were different from the Class King Demon, which was second to the Grand Demons, as they were a species whose existence wouldn't be known until the coming. Crimson Puff, a drug gotten from a Demon King scale, was an example of testing the advent of the Devil King. This was simply because Demon Kings appearing on the mortal plane and causing chaos was a quick way of furthering the Advent of the Devil King. An issue the Academy would not want to be part of. Knowing this, Tomaz had prepared for contingencies the moment Andrej drank the vial, even if it meant failing their mission. 'He's stronger than we expected anyways....' He thought, pointing his staff at him. 'But we can at least try to take him out'. With a groan, the air sparked with mana, igniting a fireball that grew at a rapid speed while the ground grumbled as rocks formed. "JANE LUCIA!" The sudden scream pierced through the air, grabbing the boy's attention. Jane was seen holding Andrej by his hair, his encased fist leaving gashes on its face. 'I'll use all of my mana points! It doesn't matter at this point! Jane must die!'. "YOU DIE HERE!" The Fireball grew fourfold as it was meant to, forming a shadow beneath its floating fiery image. It was shot out in the next second, its speed twice as it was despite its size and colliding with the spot Jane had been a few seconds ago "I'm not done yet!". Tomaz spun his staff around, the rocks gliding behind him and taking shape, while the sky rumbled as yellow lightning streaked through it with thunder. At the same time, the atmosphere around him ignited in blue as multiple blue flames erupted and grew in size. Jane ran down the smooth surface of the ground, his gaze shifting towards Tomaz as the lightning streaked down from the skies, a rumble screaming as it took the shape of a drake. CRACK! BOOM! A loud explosion ensued as the lightning struck the earth, causing a large crater to form at the same time. Tomaz searched around in confusion, his gaze flickering with intent as Jane was nowhere to be seen. 'Did he use his god-like abilities in the end...' "Above, you idiot". Jane's voice shook him like a wake-up bell. He reacted as quickly as Jane landed on the ground in front of him, a thrust of air exuding as he did so. The Fireballs suddenly spun around as it streaked through down a curved path, leaving trails of fiery blue flame in its wake. All in a blink of an eye, spreading around Tomaz as it aimed for Jane. Time seemed to have slowed for Jane, his gaze shifting to the number of flames as he clenched both of his fists at the same time. The same ejection of golden mana occurred, and a golden light erupted from his body in the process. 'This is nothing'. He punched the first flame that came into vision, causing it to rebound and strike the sides, followed by a sudden and fiery explosion. "I must thank you both" Jane said when a hollow of golden light suffused around him, and a concentrated golden glow ejected from his fist like exhaust fumes. "It seems I have advanced". He said with a smirk as he traced down each projectile of flames in the air, colliding them with his fists and sending them reeling across the RainForest. Chains of fiery explosions occurred as he did so, his speed untraceable with the naked eye, and his accuracy sharper than an eagle. Jane was on a role, a golden role and he showcased that perfectly well.
