Ascension of the Nephilim

660  Class Dismissed

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The last three teachers that Emeros taught finally arrived at the top just in time.

They were so scared of being unable to complete the test that they even worked together and supported each other as they ascended.

The manner in which they managed to work together was inspired by Emeros, who muttered about a strange phenomenon known as the Elemental Wheel, which allows elements of different types to work together, and they managed to create a very small fraction of this phenomenon.

The magic of Fire, Lightning, and Wind worked together and allowed them to create a rising vortex of elements.

The three looked at each other, still shocked at what they had just accomplished.

"Did... Did we just become best friends?" One of the teachers asked.

The senior teacher who was with them could only laugh in agreement.

What they did was profound and magnificent and even intrigued many onlookers who saw the marvelous workings of the elements.

"Elements... can work together? Which family does this Emeros belong to? How does he know about such novel theories?" A One-Star Expert was amazed.

"The secrets that the family that took him are deep. This is probably why it doesn't casually show itself and stand up to speak of their support for him. Because many of their secrets are being revealed. Who's to say that it's not your family?" A Pedagog asked.

"Indeed. Who is to say... it's not your family..." The One-Star expert softly pushed back and gave the pedagog a strange look.

Down below were eight teachers still struggling to move up the skies. A few have managed to climb the heights, but only after using the same means that Artes did. But two Senior teachers remained below and were still trying to scale the heights.

Emeros smiled as he walked toward the exhausted teachers.

BOOM! BOOM!

At once, Emeros shot numerous attacks at the teachers, and they were all burned by fire.

"AHHH!"

All collapsed to the ground and felt the great weight pressing down on them.

"Atrocious!" A Master Teacher shouted.

"How dare you attack a teacher!" Another shouted.

"As this test will rate my ability on how well I perform, I planned to break this formation. But I can't do that with so many teachers flying around. Besides, there were no rules that indicate I can't attack them." Emeros smiled.

"You trick them! You made them waste their energy with your so-called time limit and exhausted them so you could attack them!" Another teacher roared out.

"You... tricked us!" One of the teachers, who was now pressed to the ground, cursed.

"Yes, and no. I truly intend to break this formation. I didn't trick you there. I also planned to attack you since the start since you would not take me as a teacher. But as for how you wasted your force and efforts to go up there and made you easy prey, that was on you! Aren't exams like these expected to have attacks?" Emeros asked.

The teacher could only give a hateful glare.

"Brat. You think you can break this formation?" The one called Veynir called out from above.

"I made this Circle. I am not a Pedagog by title, but in power and skill, I am more. And Ilevas here is a Two Star Expert in Combat. His control of Force and Magic is beyond anything that you can imagine. The magic and power that we have is even more than twenty times what your frail body contains!"

"The mistake is using a Circle with an Enchanted object. The issue is the fusion. You'd need blacksmiths to perfect this formation. Or am I wrong, Pedagog Veynir?"

"Oh? Indeed, that would be a flaw. But you'd have to be at our level to become that." Veynir laughed.

"Not necessarily. Exploiting the weakness of an energy circle formation is an art. Power helps, but it is only about fifty percent. Even on my low level, I could counter and disrupt an Energy Conversion Circle if I take advantage of the flaws.

"Oh? Tell me, what are the flaws of this formation?" Veynir asked.

"Flow. Concentration. Union. Stability." Emeros listed the four aspects he found.

Veynir's expression went dark.

"Oh? Why do your claims sound so... arrogant?"

"Arrogant if I fail to prove it. Let me first demonstrate the flow issue." Emeros smiled, and suddenly Vivindel appeared below him.

At that moment, the remaining teachers felt an unbelievable weight press down on them. It was as if the weight had doubled.

Veynir was shocked as he saw that the central part of the formation suddenly lost energy.

"This magic is not a magic that increases gravity. It's a flowing magic, like water, that fills this entire container. And if we touch it, the magic will increase the gravity." Emeros revealed.

Many among the teachers were surprised.

"Oh? You've guessed that. But considering that you do have backers from above, I guess knowing that is too easy for you, isn't it?"

"Yes. But that's related to the issue of flow. The reason why many who succeeded in reaching the top did so by helical ascension is because I made them go against the flow and follow a counter-clockwise rise. I've noticed it. From the top, the flow spirals downwards. Finally, just before reaching the bottom, it is dispersed at the center to create a gravitational pull at an invisible point above me. This formation that I planted created a magical shield in a dome shape that touches the point of magic dispensation. Because of that, the energy that flows slid down and created a point of protection here. The gravity does not affect me, but now, those at the sides will suffer even more." Emeros explained as he casually walked around and took out a fruit, which he tossed a few times and bit down.

The Pedagogs and Master Teachers were amazed at Emeros's actions.

But what was amazing was that Emeros managed to deploy a powerful formation that could counter the area where Veynir deployed his circle. It was extremely difficult to deploy a process on top of an existing circle, and only those who were at least a One-Star Expect of Circles could do so!

Veynir watched and gritted his teeth.

"Whoever is backing you is quite loaded. To have made you memorize these circles..." Veynir laughed.

Emeros chuckled.

"I have indeed memorized it," Emeros answered honestly. It was true. The magic dome that he deployed was a basic protection circle that the Library of the Nephilim taught. It was basic, but considering the significant disparity among inheritance, what was simple to Temple was profound in this world.

"Nevertheless, seeing that weakness took skill. And I will give you that..." Veynir frowned.

"Yet, that will only give you a bit of freedom. You have dispelled the gravity there, but if you leave the zone, a gravitational force that was twice the power of what you had would attack you."

"And that's where the issue of Concentration happens. The gravitation vortex spins and gathers at three points in this entire circle and acts as a limiter. It limits the amount of magic that flows downward, which adds the challenge of having more gravity the higher we go. Everyone was avoiding the center region, for they must have noticed that that's where the magic gathers and increases. This was another mistake. For the center is the weakness!"

With a slap on the ground, Emeros began to channel energy. A needle magic shot upwards and moved past the magic dome of protection. It stabbed at the invisible center where the magic was filtered and dispensed.

STAB!

The first point of concentration was attacked!

A cracking sound could be heard even though that place only had magic.

Some teachers even fell through that area and didn't find resistance. But now, Emeros's attack struck the area, and a sound rang out as if there was an invisible glass!

"This circle will now break! Class, you are now dismissed!" Emeros laughed as he channeled the magic to move further on to the second concentration point!
