Chapter 33: Shock

Finally, it was Darell's turn.

This time, the announcement wasn't met with cheers, praises, or insults. There was pure silence. No one spoke a single word and all eyes were on Darell.

Darell who was leisurely sitting on his seat remained there. After a few minutes, they heard a faint snoring sound from him.

The students were enraged and shouted at him with fury. The instructors almost coughed up blood when they saw his carefree attitude of him.

Emma nudged him a little which woke him up.

He wiped the drool off his face and straightened his clothes and hair. He walked into the arena with a slight smirk on his face as he saw the students looking at him with envy, hate, and jealousy.

This act further enraged them as they thought of his arrogant and provoking act.

Darell had no problem while facing this test because he knew that everyone in his group had already learned rank 03 spells. If he could, he wouldn't even bother attending such a trivial test. But alas, he had no choice but to attend it.

Darell bowed to Walter and the other instructors upon arriving in the middle of the arena.

All of the instructors and especially the dean were curious to see the skill he would show.

Walter cleared his throat and said, "Since we don't have an instructor to verify the skills performed by Darell, we decided to hold a special test for him."

The students' excitement grew. They wanted to see how Darell would fare in this test. Most of them hoped he to fail so they can spit on his face and call him trash.

Walter continued, "We will have a light spar with each other. You have to either dodge or attack me with a rank 01 or rank 02 skill. If you successfully do so, then you have passed it."

Whispers could be heard among the students.

Darell shrugged his shoulders and replied, " I am ready."

Walter nodded his head and both of them took a fighting stance.

He created a rank 01 fireball and threw it toward Darell. Darell had expected it and closed his eyes while the fireball flew toward him.

Many sneered and mocked him for being too arrogant. However, Darell knew he had to show his power because now every student had joined a group and started to show their true colors. If he didn't, they would continue to be brazen in their actions and even try to harm him or his friends.

He kept his eyes closed and his arms folded while the fireball flew toward him. But, before the fireball could hit him, his figure blurred and vanished from the spot he was standing on while he appeared a few meters away from his previous spot.

The fireball failed to blow him up and passed through his flickering figure and flew straight toward the wall and exploded.

Silence.

Pure silence was maintained by everyone present in the arena. All the students were shocked to their core by his display and none of them spoke to each other. Each instructor had their eyes widened by the display. They were seriously nodding their heads as they were fascinated by the skill and his ability to learn one of the most difficult spells.

Meanwhile, the dean smiled crazily as he saw him use the skill.

Walter encouraged Darell as he appreciated his ability.

He then created a rank 02 Fire spear. However, the spear was different from those formed by the students.

It was longer than the usual Fire spear and it radiated a menacing aura around it. It was also thicker and was almost created with perfection. This was because Walter was a rank 08 Fire ability user. His speed, comprehension, etc had passed the level of perfection for a simple spell such as a rank 02 Fire spear.

Darell noticed the spear's difference from that of a regular spear created by the students. He truly appreciated it as he noticed it and realized that he was far from mastering a spell beyond perfection. He had a new target to achieve as he clenched his fists in determination.

Walter threw it towards him and it instantly covered the distance between them. The students gulped down as they saw the destructive and menacing aura emitting from it.

It flew towards Darell while the ground beneath it burnt due to its power. He didn't flinch and stood his ground as he patiently waited for it to come near him.

Everyone was puzzled by his actions and many deemed him too arrogant and mocked him.

Darell didn't even bother with the insults as he was prepared to give each of them a slap to their faces.

The spear arrived dangerously close to him and even the instructors were bothered by his actions. They thought that the spear would hit him but the unexpected happened.

Darell raised his hand and rotated it while clenching his fist. The space around him grew distorted and the instructors and the dean felt a change in the space around him.

For a slight moment, his figure vanished and then reappeared at the same spot. The fire spear which threatened to blow him apart suddenly reappeared behind him as it flew straight towards the wall and exploded which slightly shook the arena.

Darell arrogantly smirked at everybody and brought his hand down.

Absolute silence.

No one knew what happened as everything they saw happened in an instant. They were expecting the spear to hit him but a fraction of a second later, he stood in the position while the spear hit the wall.

However, they were broken out of their trance by a loud clapping sound.

Dean laughed crazily and clapped loudly as he stood up.

Darell ignored the dean's actions as he realized that the man had ulterior motives.

The instructors followed the dean's actions and clapped while standing and having fierce discussions with each other. The students were utterly shocked and they subconsciously followed the actions.

Eric, Lilith, Ariel, and Emma were calm despite the commotion because they had already seen him perform the skill however, they were feeling proud watching him receive such praise.

But, someone wasn't happy with the development, and that someone turned out to be Abel. He had secretly snuck into the arena and recorded all the skills shown by Darell and his group as he was tasked by the 'boss'. If he failed to do so, his fate would be left in his hands of him.

Darell bowed toward the instructors and the dean and used his skill Teleport to arrive at his seat and sat down.

The test was finally finished and the results were announced in which most of the students had passed while some unlucky ones had failed.

The students left the arena and as it was already night, they headed toward the dining hall.

Meanwhile, 

In the royal court of the Kingdom of Gavaria,

The Dean was reporting Darell's skill and his progress to the King. The king had a slight smile on his face as he heard about his progress. However, the smile turned into a frown as he sighed impatiently.
