Explosions of flames erupted at different locations in the Giant RainForest as a Warlock and a priest fought with vigour and purpose. Two figures stood at the sidelines, their expressions laced with different emotions. Rana Lana found herself intrigued by Jane's abilities and overall fighting still. It had been much more than she anticipated or expected, and her thoughts ended up becoming mesmerized by the whole situation. Sophie, on the other hand, couldn't care less about his strength because, so far, he hadn't showcased anything that had the potential of becoming a threat to her. 'It's funny....he's completely weak compared to when he used the abilities of the gods...' But growing once personal abilities were second nature, it was only right he thought of increasing his personal growth for a while. It didn't stop her from coming to her conclusion though. 'He's not my match if he doesn't use the power of the gods...they're so proud of'. So far, he had been able to use 30%, especially during the Rankings Battle, but now, she wondered just how powerful he would be if he used any higher. "Rana, Sophie? Why are you girls still here?" Jonny's voice broke through their line of thoughts as they turned back to find their teammates running up to them. It seemed like they had finally caught up. "Took you long enough" Rana commented as she turned back to the fight scene unfolding. "We may be of no use to Jane in the end" Jonny and Ban turned towards the fight. "It seems so", Ban replied, a sigh escaping his lips as his gaze drifted away from the group with his thoughts. 'It's a relief. I didn't have to reveal my abilities as Raph postulated'. But was it? He would continue to be looked down upon in his class. 'Well, that isn't an issue for me....for now though.' He looked up at the sky, the timer an evident reminder of the limit set upon the match and the points allocated. "The Bronze Class remained silent until the very end." He muttered, the others staring at him in bafflement. He flinched, the discomfort clearly written on his face as he turned towards them. "What?" "Nothing...it seems you're not as introverted as you make yourself seem" Jonny replied while the others looked away, a loud explosion grabbing their attention. "We have five minutes left, let's go help the others just in case they need our help." Rana looked up at the Oak Tree, signs of frost grabbing her attention. She strengthened her muscles, applying mana points to her physical build before charging up the tree. "Come with." "Hah! Not again!" Jonny protested as he rushed after them while Ban lingered behind. He stopped when he noticed Sophie's lingering gaze on Jane, his brow arching upwards in curiosity. "Do you want to face off against him?" She flinched, snapping her head towards him with an unreadable expression, but a grin formed on it soon after. "You're observant? What makes you think so?" She asked, teasingly. He shrugged and rushed after Jonny and Rana, leaving Sophie to her line of thoughts. Sophie chuckled wryly, her expression turning cold as she glanced at Jane. 'Wouldn't this be a good opportunity?' She wondered, her thoughts conflicting with her actions. Meanwhile, Jane had just deflected the last ball of flames when the rocks gathered behind Tomaz formed a golem, its build cascading its shadows over Jane as its giant arms descended with force like a guillotine. BOOM! A sonic explosion occurred as its fist smashed into the forest floor, vibrations spreading throughout the forest as Jane appeared on top of the creature. A crater formed, bits of rocks flying through the air as he ran down the creature's large arms. His fists were protected by an ejection of golden mana, Divine Mana in its physical form emitting twice as much at the usual speed. Jane ran down the arm, the golem shifting its gaze towards him as it suddenly swung his right arm over his left shoulder and slammed it down, a wind draft occurring soon after. Tomaz glanced up, a frown on his face as Jane appeared in the skies, spinning downwards with his right hand stretched out. His golden mana suddenly erupted with a sudden increase in mana, forming a projected portion in the shape of a sword. He swung down, his gaze exuding a golden glow. "Divine Sword." His arm sliced through the air, a sudden silence descending until a sudden sonic explosion occurred, pulling the golem to the ground as a crater formed below it. A slice mark suddenly ran through its rock-hardened body like paper, striking at its core and slicing the ground with a solid strike. Tomaz found himself in a bind as he was directly under the golem, protected by its size, only to be trapped as the rocks began to fall apart like sand. He groaned, escaping parts and bits of the rocks just in time, the collision raising dust and rock debris in the air as a result. He groaned bitterly, his resolve unable to fault as he turned around in search of Jane. "I refuse to lose like this" He muttered, pulling his staff into the air as a sudden charge of mana spread through his body in a bizarre flow. "Master Skill! War of the Flames!" Balls of flames erupted at the tip of his staff, his body undergoing a certain pressure from overusing his mana. The pain spread like wildfire, causing irreversible damage, but his rage made him stand strong. Jane appeared at the top of the rock debris, his Divine mana pulsating on his arms as it took the shape of two swords. His gaze flickered with intensity, a golden glow exuding golden mana as a frown creased his lips. "I don't know who you are, but you're clearly going beyond the rules....you intend on killing me?" He asked. "Killing you?!" Tomaz laughed out loud, his gaze intense as he twirled his staff around. The multiple balls of flames suddenly collided together, pulsating within as if it were an uncontrolled round mass of repellant energy. It brimmed with a fiery glow, liquid plasma dripping from its form. "That is our goal! Our path to home....you must die, Jane Lucia." Jane remained silent, a chuckle escaping his lips. 'Hah...what is this? Why do I suddenly feel so good? Is it because for once, someone wants me dead and not that useless son of a bitch, Jun?'. Jane wondered, his thoughts reeling in. 'It's not an inferiority complex, I just hate the fact that he can go around with his shoulders high and have the power to prove it. Everyone has their demons to face, but why do Raph's demons not consume him?'. His lips curled into a tight smile. "I must thank you..." Tomaz raised a brow, his confusion palpable, but his resolve snapped him in a second. "Die!" He swung his staff forward, the ball of molten flames rushing towards Jane within the blink of an eye but to Jane, it seemed like time had slowed down. A story played in his head, a story told from generation to generation, about the son of the Sun, who bathed in a rain of flames. The Son of the gods. The one who receives their blessings, and preaches their words. The scion of the gods, the Divine Son, Liphael the wondrous. A glow of divine mana spread through Jane's body like molten lava, a golden glow glistening like the sun. His body was rapt in warmth, a distinctive warmth that would serve as his shield. It grew in intensity, erupting out of his body, suffusing his five senses with a tranquil flow of bliss and power. In the next second, the ball of molten flames crashed into him, expanding with a hissing noise as it erupted in a messy flow of lava and flames. The rocks melted under the heat and flow of the lava while the grass caught flames from the fire. It wasn't mentioned so, but the use of fire magic in a forest was bound to cause troubles and it had soon done so, but the others didn't seem to mind it. Tomaz fell to his knees, his breath haggard and disoriented as he looked up. "Yes...yes, I did it. I killed the son of the Lucia household!" A hearted laugh escaped his lips as he sighed. 'Now, we are one step away from obtaining the favour of the Red Peacemakers'. "You've defeated who?" The familiar voice came like a prickling needle to his body as he froze in shock, his gaze flickering about in intensity. He had not felt it until now, but a distinctive presence stood beside him, a golden glow diminishing on his body. 'No way....I didn't even feel his presence'. Even with the light, it had seemed nearly imperative that he should have noticed him. But he didn't. "You seemed excited until a moment ago." Jane was basked in an afterglow of golden light, which diminished in time. His clothes had been nearly burnt off from the flames and lava but he was perfectly fine, even much more than before. He grabbed Tomaz by his collar, pulling him into the air, and with a carefree smile, smashed his hand enveloped in Divine mana through the boy's chest. The visitors who watched gasped in shock, while the students were left in awe. Their confusion on the event was palpable as they raised complaints amongst themselves until the screens were cut off.
