Ascension of the Nephilim

653  Class of Mystery

Everyone was horrified at the sudden declaration.

The bowing students didn't have a chance to prepare as the Vashura class quickly brought out their spells and shot the attacks without warning.

"AHHH!"

"My arm!"

"It burns!"

Fire spells of numerous kinds shot out and attacked all twenty-three students that barred their path.

Some students managed to jump away from a direct hit but saw a staff in front of them.

"Flamethrower!"

VOOOOSH!

"AHHH!"

The students of Emeros were fast. Despite being mages, they could quickly cross the distance with strange fire-bursting techniques that caused them to be shot at the front.

Quinn and Anna took the lead in burning the rest of the students, who managed to evade the initial torrent of flames.

Barely three seconds passed, and all the second-year students were down and screaming in pain from the fire burns.

The students and teachers watching the scenes were all shouting and calling out Emeros and his class for their insidious tricks.

"Students, dose them. We'll be late for the exams." Emeros ordered his students.

Several students moved forward and began to channel energy, while others cast. A strange dark-blue water splashed down on the suffering students trying to put out the fire.

The appearance of the water allowed many to recognize it as the water energy of the lake.

SPLASH! SPLASH!

The students stood over and sneered as they saved the lives of the students.

"Teacher Emeros! You immoral man!" A teacher flew off with staff and used magic to move towards Emeros.

"How dare you command your students to"

BOOM!

Suddenly, an Energy Conversion Circle appeared on the ground as the vines of Emeros created a powerful circle. Emeros wasted no more time and shot a massive fireball at the flying teacher.

CRASH!

The teacher slumped down on the ground and was trembling.

"A teacher, with staff on hand. Shouts out to me and calls me an immoral man. It's pretty obvious that he was bent on attacking me." Emeros chuckled.

Many shouted to disagree, but Emeros ignored them.

A projection appeared, revealing Emeros's perspective as the teacher flew towards him.

Magic was clearly being manifested, and the weapons were drawn out.

"I have proof. If anyone has anything to say, stand before me and let me assume the same pose this teacher had. If you claim he was not attacking me, I will recreate it for you, and you must not defend as I approach. This is a challenge. If anyone speaks accusations, let him be challenged in that." Emeros sneered as he tapped the staff, and the energy on the ground grew intense.

The voices died down. Emeros had just attacked a teacher. And no one would dare put themselves in the same scenario. In their deepest thoughts, they knew that what the teacher did was suitable grounds for the other to make his defense.

"Hmm? No one will challenge me in this? You all know I'm right!" Emeros laughed.

"According to the rules, I have justification to attack back. I am busy today, and my students will miss the exams as they have only ten minutes to reach the classroom. Should anyone stand before me and block my path, I will treat it as an attempt to delay me and my class even more. You have been warned." Emeros answered coldly.

A Master Teacher under the service of the Pedagog of the Crow watched from a distance. Because of the recent investigation, he could not move or do as he pleased. Next to him was Artes and another Senior teacher.

"[True Gauge]." He cast the spell to observe Emeros.

The Master teacher frowned as his True Gauge could not assess the other stats properly and only gave him a range of Emeros's stats.

"A [Guage Block]... This kid really has good items. His stats are also impressive! But he seems to be focusing on being a force user..." The Master Teacher thought to himself.

"Master Teacher. His Magic is only at 66... How did he defeat Senior Teacher Artes? And even that Teacher Senior Teacher is a Champion! He would be ranked a Senior Teacher in the next assessment, yet the attack brought him down!" A Senior teacher at the side asked.

"That's because of the Circle. It nearly doubled the spell. And what's frightening is how fast he can deploy and use it..." The Master Teacher assessed.

"He truly is on the pathway of becoming a Pedagog in Energy Conversion Circles... Look. I can't even use True Gauge on his students!" The master teacher frowned.

Artes was surprised and also used his Gauge ability.

"How generous... Everyone must have a Gauge blocking ability that limits the use of Gauge." Artes frowned.

"He has too many secrets. Artes. You have to act. While the rest of us cannot take action, you have a grudge against him. Use it." The Master Teacher ordered.

"By your orders," Artes answered back as he leaped.

"Resorting to unfair tricks and ambushing teachers! Is that the type of person you are?!"

The enraged cry echoed out, and all could sense the thick, potent power of a Champion.

Senior Teacher Andre Artes was flying up in the sky.

"Senior Andre Artes. Are you here to rechallenge me?" Emeros laughed.

Andre Artes was angry, but he was ordered to not rechallenge Emeros. At least, not yet.

"You are a disgrace to us teachers! You tricked me! I demand a challenge!"

"I refuse." Emeros sneered.

"WHAT?!"

"I already defeated you. On what grounds are you challenging me?"

"Based on you breaking the law and ordering your students to attack that class!"

"What crime did they commit? The Second Year Students asked to fight, and I responded that they could go crazy. That was the signal that they could have used to fight. Is it not written in our rules that the combat between students may begin once the teacher agrees? I told them they already had permission."

"You know as well as I do what transpired! Your students ambushed them!"

"Ambushed? It's such a strange term. Is it my students' fault that they can cast spells with little charging, chanting, or channeling time? If they have found ways to surpass the three of the four C's of spell casting, then it is their strength. It is their enemy's folly to keep their heads bowed down."

At those words, many of the enraged students suddenly realized it. It was indeed shocking! The students instantly cast out spells, although they had shown no signs of using three of the four C's. Only some of the students at the top two-thousands had this capability!

And yet, none of the Vashura class was chanting to borrow power from the Universe, no magic fluctuations were detected gathering through channeling, and no one was charging the magical energy in their body!

Had any of these three appeared, the second years would have defended the attacks!

"How...?!" One of the students finally realized it.

Andre Artes froze. He did not know how to respond to Emeros's answer.

It was, indeed, a miracle! A student had often used this as an excuse to land a powerful blow.

"Now, unless you have good excuses to challenge me, I, the winner of your challenge, is busy." Emeros walked on.

"That brat...!" Artes wanted to fly and blast Emeros.

"Andre. Stop. Don't make any more problems. These students... They are not normal. Those spells that they cast... I didn't pay attention to it at first, but now... I feel like it's as if they all have Elemental Cores!"

"What!? Impossible!"

"That is the improbable explanation. How were they able to summon elements without 3 of the four C's. And if it was because of the last C, Circle, we would have seen marks of an energy conversion circle flashing out."

"So what do you propose, Master Teacher?"

"We have to learn how to retreat. Prince Magnus is now in a dangerous position. We cannot act in haste. This exam will reveal more about Emeros and his class of mystery students..." The Master teacher ordered.
