mock battle

Lucas had finally reached the first order of the white core, not wasting time on other things, he quickly released his Mana spirit, death slasher, and immediately it was released, memories from the sword began flowing into his mind.

He concentrated on the memories he saw and after some seconds, he stood up.

He took the death slasher sword which has been hovering behind him all this while and walked up to a tree.

He channelled his Mana from his Mana core, through the Mana channels in his body and to his arms, when they arrived at his arms he released them into his sword and with a slight flick of his wrist, he swung the death slasher sword at the tree he had previously walked up to.

With one swing of his sword, a sharp beam of black Mana was sent at the tree, immediately the beam came in contact with the tree, it left a clean slice on the tree and after some seconds, the tree was separated into two with the upper part of the tree being on the ground, and the lower part was still rooted to the ground.

This was his first battle skill, 'DEATH SLASH ' , with just one flick of his wrist, he had the power to divide a tree into two parts, he checked his Mana core and saw that the Mana which was gathered in his core had reduced, and with just one thought it went back to normal, it was like he didn't use any Mana from his core.

This was the ability he got from death slasher, 'instant recovery ', as of now, it only affected his Mana supply but if he continued to increase his strength, he would also be able to cure physical injuries.

Feeling satisfied of both his battle skill and Mana spirit ability, he moved on to his next course, which was finding out what battle skill and Mana spirit ability he got from the black ghost.

He released his black ghost and instead of seeing memories of his battle skill and Mana spirit ability, he was transported into another space.

Lucas looked around and in this space everything was completely white, but something finally caught his attention.

He walked up to the only thing that was black in this white dimension, and when he was close enough to find out what it was, he came face to face with a corpse.

Although he was shocked at first, but after observing the corpse for some minutes, he was sure that it had no life in it.

Not knowing what he was supposed to do, he touched the corpse and a word suddenly flowed into his mind,

"Arise?" Immediately he voiced this word out , the corpse which showed no ounce of life snapped opened it's eyes.

After this was done, a strong force pushed Lucas out of the white dimension, he snapped opened his eyes and began breathing heavily as realisation showed in his eyes, he finally understood his powers.

"Come out!" as soon as Lucas said this, a form began to appear out of thin air, but it wasn't a corpse, it was a person,

"Servant greets sovereign" the man said as he knelt down and bowed his head in respect.

"From now on, your name is Nick" Lucas said and after a slight pause he continued, " Nick, what level of cultivation are you at now?" Lucas asked his new summon out of curiosity.

The black ghost was a necromancer type of Mana spirit, it's first battle skill was to summon a servant who was for ever loyal to Lucas .

As his cultivation rises, and he gets his second battle skill, he would be able to summon more than one servant and continue to build his army, but as of now, due to his cultivation only being at first order of the white core, he could only summon one servant.

His summons took the appearance of humans after they were awakened, that was why his current summon Nick was in the form of a human and not a corpse like it was in the white dimension.

"Servant is only at the tenth order of the white core" Nick replied Lucas with respect sounding in his every word.

"Tenth order!", Lucas voiced in shock, the reason being that in their village, someone at tenth order could be considered as a powerful figure, Elijah's dad, the so called strongest person in their village was only at first order of the silver core.

In this world, the white core was the first stage of becoming a warrior, after reaching tenth order of the white core, the next step would be to breakthrough into the silver core, Breaking through into the first order of silver core requires talent, most people with grade six Mana spirit get stuck at tenth order and never breakthrough their whole life.

In this world, the normal age someone reaches before dieing is hundred, but if one can successfully breakthrough into the silver core, another hundred years life span is added to their life making people who had broken through to silver core able to live for up to two hundred years, and the best part being that their appearance when they are at hundred would look like someone who was in their late thirties.

Being at tenth order of the white core was actually a big deal, although the difference between someone in tenth order of the white core and first order of the silver core was like heaven and Earth, reaching tenth order itself was a big deal and it could even take someone with grade six Mana spirit fifty years of cultivation in order to reach the tenth order of the silver core.

After getting over his surprise, Lucas decided to test something out, in the blink of he had disappeared into thin air and it was like he was never there,

"Nick, can you see me?" A voice asked and Nick who worry was already visible in his face finally relaxed as he heard his master's voice.

"No sovereign" Nick replied Lucas and then Lucas's form appeared out of nowhere.

'good, even a tenth order couldn't sense my presence when I use this ability' Lucas thought to himself.

This was Lucas's second ability, the one he got from his other Mana spirit, the unknown black ghost, 'invisibility' he had the ability to become visible and invisible at will, feeling satisfied about his Mana spirit abilities,' instant recovery and invisibility ' he finally went back to his cultivation.

............

Four months slowly passed and nothing important happened, it was filled with Lucas going to the academy and when he came back he would cultivate.

During these four months, Lucas had successfully broken through into the third order of the white core, in this world, breaking through to third order from first order in a span of one month was actually a big feat that can only be achieved by people who have S rank Mana spirits, the only way someone with a grade ten Mana spirit can achieve this is if they used a spirit pellet.

Spirit pellet are like drugs, they are taken either to cure an illness, to heal an injury or to help in someone's cultivation, there are also some spirit pellet which boosts someone's life span but they are under rank A spirit pellets.

Just like Mana spirits, spirit pellets are also in ranks, there are five ranks in general and they are, rank D, rank C, rank B, rank A and rank S, the higher their rank, the more effective they are.

Spirit pellets are very expensive and can only be refined by master alchemists, a rank C spirit pellet can go for the price of ten thousand gold coins, and in this world, ten thousand gold coins is enough to feed a normal family for a decade.

Lucas was currently in class two of year one sitting in his usual sit and patiently waiting for their class master Rick to arrive, and he couldn't help but listen to what a girl was telling her friend who was sitting beside him.

"Did you hear, Elijah just broke through to second order"

"Under four months!, He's so talented" ............

After hearing this, Lucas stopped listening to them, he had already heard enough.

After waiting for some more minutes, Rick finally walked in the class, he wore a smile on his face and then he said,

"Good news class, today we are having a mock class battle in the square". After this was said, the once noisy class immediately turned silent as no one knew how to react.

...........

Class two soon gathered in the square of light academy, most were filled with anxiety because if others found out that they had yet to breakthrough to the first order, they would immediately be looked down on while the rest were proud of their strength and happy that they would finally get the fame they deserved.

The principal was also present because he wanted to see his only disciple in action and who would be strong enough to take one blow from him.

..........

The mock fight had finally begun and the first two opponents were Elijah and a kid named Peter.

There were two ways of winning the fight, the first one is winning when your opponent surrenders and the second is winning by knockout.

The battle soon began, Peter was just a first order so going against someone who was in second order was like committing suicide, but even though he knew this, he still called out his Mana spirit, immediately he called out his Mana spirit, green Mana began to materialise into the shape of a fist and this Mana fist was sent at Elijah.

Peter's Mana spirit was a horned beast, a horned beast had the appearance of a panda with a horn on it's fore head and it was a high grade seven Mana spirit, the battle skill he just used was called beast fist and it was a very powerful battle skill that was very high in it's offensive power.

Just as the fist was about to come into contact with Elijah's face, Elijah leaped up and the fist missed it's target .

Still in the sky, black spikes began to form behind Elijah, and they were sent towards Peter.

Peter could only stare at the black spikes that were coming straight to him, they were too fast to dodge and too many to counter, he could only watch as they came closer to him.

When Elijah landed, the first spike also landed on it's target, Peter's left leg and then the second one landed on Peter's right leg and then the third landed on Peter's right arm, after the third one landed, the rest spikes dispersed into nothing.

Elijah could have easily stopped the other spikes from hitting Peter, but he choose to let the second and third spike hit Peter before he completely dispersed everything.

Tears rolled down Peter's eyes due to the pain he was feeling at the moment, because no matter how anyone saw it, Peter was just a seven year old kid, just like all the other children present in the square.

Elijah turned to face the principal and the principal smiled at him.

"The winner of this match is Elijah!" Rick said with a frown on his face, due to Elijah's act, he was supposed to be suspended, but since he was the principal's only disciple, he couldn't do anything.

The next round soon began , and the opponents were Elijah, the winner of the previous round and Lucas............
