<h4>Chapter 196: Landslide victory.</h4>


    The rules were quite simple but it was hard at the same time. Just like professor Gibson said, arcane spells weren''t part of them yet and it would surely feel weird when being unable to use their elements.


    "Practice ground 5, ke vs d." Professor Gibson announced.


    This was pleasant news for both the nobles andmoners. It was a chance for the nobles to gauge his power level and if he ends up failing, it was a chance to mock him.


    As for themoners, most of them didn''t have malicious intentions against ke, they always watched his match in other to learn new things.


    Also, watching ke trash a lot of nobles gave them a sense of satisfaction, earning him quite a lot of fan base among themoners which he had no idea of.


    ''Time to show who is boss.'' d couldn''t help but grin from ear to ear when he heard the announcement.


    He was one of those that thought ke was being protected by Luciano, but now the rules were supposedly in his favor, he would make it clear to the entire school.


    d couldn''t be considered as one of the brightest, but his line of thought wasn''t that wrong, but what he failed to see was that ke wasn''t your average student.


    He had 3 elements and a system which wasn''t only very rare in the school, but all around Infinite realm as a whole. These were factors that no one would think of unless told, making ke a box of surprises.


    ''This should be an easy 700 points.'' ke had a grin simr to that of d when he heard who his opponent was.


    "Begin!." Professor Gibson announced.


    "Let''s end this quickly." ke encased his hands and feet with mana before dashing towards d


    When he was 5 meters from d, he jumped into the air and performed 2 spinning kicks that sent des of mana hauling at d.


    ''Shit!'' Seeing how fast and powerful the mana des were, d joined his hands together and formed a barrier.


    Ding! Ding!


    d was forced 3 steps back, but he soon rolled out of ke''s way, dodging the iing flying kick.


    ''Seems I have gotten too used to using lightning reinforcement to boost my speed.'' ke thought as he continued his attacks.


    He let out 2 mana des and quickly closed in on the gap.


    ''How is this possible? He must be cheating!'' d couldn''t help but think as he was forced to block another set of mana des that forced him to retreat.


    Things were looking very bad for him. His hands were turning numb and he wasn''t getting any breathing space, but there was no time to think of that because ke was alright in front of him.


    ke threw a feint punch at d who hurriedly attempted to block leaving his body open.


    "Gotcha!" A grin appeared on ke''s face as he started off with a blow to the abdomen, then with an uppercut, before conjuring a mana wall behind d and chaining his attacks.


    With his mana enhanced attacks, ke was dealing a lot of damage than normal people did and d couldn''t keep taking more of them.


    ''I have to do something.'' d gritted his teeth in pain as he tried conjuring a mana dome around him, but that was when a massive shockwave burst of mana from ke, sent him flying out of the boundary.


    "Winner ke."


    "What the hell?!'' d who had just recovered by from the dizziness caused by the impact was shocked and confused by what had happened.


    After the blue ethereal light of mana burst out of ke''s body, he made a useless attempt to block with his hands, but he saw himself outside the ring.


    "He definitely cheated, his attacks were too powerful to be normal. He must be using a mana control enhancing equipment." d protested to Professor Gibson.


    "I noticed it, his attacks packed more power than its men to be."


    "There is no way someone should be able to do that without and equipment."


    At first, the spectators didn''t think much about it because ke was the rank 1 and he was meant to be stronger than others. It was when dined that they began noticing it.


    "I too thought the same thing, but I checked ke right from his first move to thest everything was normal. It''s just that his mana control is more than 2 times greater than that of everyone in this ss." The entire ss was shocked by Professor Gibson''s exnation.


    Although he was their professor and they saw no reason for him to lie, many didn''t want to believe it, but that was when they started connecting the dots.


    They began realizing why ke has been doing so well in sses like array mastery and arcane magic.


    ''Seems I have been underestimating my man control.'' ke thought as he walked out of the practice ground ignoring the stares from his fellow ssmates.


    He had used the shockwave in order to stun d and continue thebo, but he didn''t expect it topletely blow him away.


    [I too wasn''t expecting that. This was meant to be a one sided beating, but that move turned it to andslide.] The system said.


    ''That means one more thing added to my list of after ss activities.'' ke let out a helpless sigh. Somedays ago he wasining about having nothing to do but now, reverse was the case.


    …


    After the ss, ke, his friends and Cam went to grab something eat, but they were all looking with weird looks on their faces.


    "I am trying to enjoy my steak, but I can''t do that with you all looking at me like that." Feeling ufortable, ke broke the silence at the table.


    ke watched as they looked at themselves for some time before returning to their food.


    "Is there something I am missing?" ke asked Luciano who face palmed and shook his head on seeing their reaction.


    "They want so you could teach or coach them on somethings." Luciano said.
