Only Wisdom Awakened - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Spars
The students quietly followed behind Hans, as he lead them outside the building, to a barren patch of land, measuring about the same size as a basketball field.

“So? Who will come up here and show me what they can do?”

The students were all confused and started talking among themselves.

“He wants us to fight amongst ourselves?”

“I’ve never hit a human with a spell before”

“Is it even safe?”

“Te-teacher I don’t want to do it”

“Enough!

During your years as awakened, do you think you’ll only have to fight with monsters? Awakened criminals are one of the biggest problems in the world, they kill the same amount of people as gates.

What do you intend to do if you meet them? Ask them to spare you because you’ve never hit a human with a spell?

Come up here and show me that you have the spirit necessary to become a good awakened.

I’ll take eight people up, and I’ll teach those of you who win how to advance further down the path of a mage.

Who is willing to come up?”

After a bit of insecurity, eight hands were finally raised.

Fighting against people was not pleasant, but obtaining pointers from a mage ranking higher than them could greatly increase one’s abilities.

First round.

A blonde woman with quite the smooth skin and the beautiful figure stepped up, her strength wasn’t bad, standing at the peak of the first tier.

However, unfortunately for her she had to face a blue haired young man that give off the feeling of a high tier-2 mage

Hans looked at the two challengers with his {mystic insight} and was quite let down by the difference in strength between them.

“The duel will end once one of the two participants steps out of the field, yields, or faints.

I can also end the duel if I deem it necessary”

“Start”

The girl started casting a wind spell: tier-1 {wind’s aid} she then took a couple of steps to the side with her speed being buffed by the spell.

She then started casting again.

{wind blow} the furious wind blew towards the male student, that had been silently watching all her actions without moving an inch.

“What? Just this?”

{ice wall} not even cracking it, the wind couldn’t help but slide off the wall, passing beside the target.

She quickly started casting once again, closing her eyes to focus, but as she reopened her eyes, a blade of ice was pointed towards her throat.

“I-I give up”

“The first winner has been determined”

‘Gosh, how could you even think of closing your eyes with an opponent in front of you? Even if mages don’t have high strength, their speed is normally still average, since they need it to avoid possible attacks.

What did you expect the outcome to be while you couldn’t see?

It seems like there is much work to do’

The first spar went smoothly and fast, won by the blue haired guy.

However, on the second platform, things got a little bit spicier as the purple haired girl came across the black haired guy with glasses.

“Let the spar begin”

Hans let his hand fall down, as if cutting the air, and the two students immediately started chanting.

‘Wow, look at that speed, they ain’t half bad, let’s see..

“This is going to interesting” muttered Hans smirking.

{mystic fog}

{earth wall}

The pink fog dispersed all around the field, passing beside the earth wall and covering Logan’s sight.

‘Crap, I can’t see anything.

Why isn’t she attacking yet? is she also not able to see me?

What to do, let’s think, Lila Harper, she’s a talented girl with the rare class (enchantress) and she possesses the incredible ability of the magic eye, meaning she’ll be able to see me inside this fog only when I use magic, in that case…’

The girl, in the meantime was moving around the fog, trying to figure out her opponent’s position.

‘The mystic fog is an incredibly powerful spell, that allows the caster to throw at the opponents inside it illusions up to the fourth tier, obviously, my mana isn’t high enough to do that yet, but if go all out, a tier-3 illusion spell shouldn’t be a problem.

The only downside to this spell is that even I am not able to orient myself within the fog.

This would make the spell useless for most people, but for me, who possess the magic eye, it’s nothing but an advantage.’

‘But… where the hell is he? Why can’t I perceive his mana, could he have fainted? That’s got to be the case right? Otherwise he would’ve already used a spell or something to defend himself.

Well, if he has fainted from the high density mana in the most it must mean that he’s about a tier-1, I wonder why his mana felt so refined’

With a flick of her fingers, the mist lowered slowly disappearing, and as she expected, no one was standing in it, as the mist lowered to the level of her knees however, the body of the opponent still couldn’t be seen.

The spell was completely gone, and yet Logan was nowhere to be seen.

‘Where? Where is he? Where the hell did he go?!!!”

“Wow” “that’s crazy how can he do that?”

“I heard it requires the seventh circle to use telekinesis”

“I heard that too”

“Hah that’s really impressive, to think that he is flying”

The girl immediately thought:

‘Flying?’

She raised her chin, bringing her gaze towards the sky, there, the boy was floating atop a little pile of dirt.

{Earth manipulation}

‘What the hell?’

He quickly started falling, coming towards her while casting a spell.

‘No, don’t come here’

{magic hand-}

Before she could finish casting however, her balance was disturbed by the opponents spell.

{dig}

She fell to the ground with her butt, and the opponent pointed his hand at her, ready to cast another spell.

“Do you surrender?”

…

“Ahhhh?!Surrender? Me? Don’t think that you can even try to make me-”

Hans popped up from behind, hitting the back of her neck and taking her up as she fainted.

“We have our second winner” announced Hans.

His words were followed by a round of applause,

And Logan took place beside the blue haired guy who had won the previous battle.

Then, taking up the stage were two girls, one was the wind mage with silver coloured hairs, and the other was a blonde girl that used flame magic.

Even while the elements were disadvantageous for her, the silver haired girl just marched through the flames, and beat up the other with her fist, gaining the victory and being really proud about it.

Th next fight was quickly won by one of the two participants that took the opportunity to sneak attack the opponent and bounce him off the stage with a sound wave.

“Okay, the class has finally reached its end, the four of you follow me to the classroom, everyone else dismissed”

Like that, the four winners had been decided and it was time to grant them the reward.

“So, Colton, Claire, Austin, and you.

“Yes please!”

They said in unison.

…

A bit afterwards:

“Hmm, teach, why am I the only one who’s isn’t being called by his name?” Asked the black haired guy who had won the second spar.

“It’s not your fault, it’s just that your name reminds me of something unpleasant, don’t take it to heart”

however Hans seemed pretty angry, and the student couldn’t help but shut up.

“U-understood teach”
