Chapter 306 A Word
She believed that he was strong, but she didn\'t think it was to this level!
\'Isn\'t he too strong? What the hell!\' She thought.
Her thoughts instantly shifted to a certain red haired boy.
\'Dell better not try anything stupid,\' she thought. She, of all people, knew how Dell\'s loss against Atticus had affected him.
Apart from the fact that their father Eleanor had thoroughly punished him, the word had spread amongst the family members of the Alverian family.
Dell had been completely devastated. Although she hadn\'t spoken to him since his enrollment into the academy, she knew for a fact that he still carried a huge amount of resentment towards Atticus.
They were all family, after all. Even she herself had carried the little thing Atticus had done to her for 7 years. She couldn\'t even begin to imagine how Dell would be feeling.
But regardless, \'You can\'t handle him, Dell,\' Lila concluded.
Dell was just one year older than her, if they were to fight, their strengths weren\'t so far apart.
And yet Lila wasn\'t so sure about winning against Atticus when he had his abilities locked, whether she used her bloodline or not.
What about when he had his full power?
\'It probably wouldn\'t even be a fight anymore,\' Lila thought gravely.
After a few seconds, Atticus got to Kael, who had his hand stretched out in front of him for a fist bump.
Atticus smiled, stretching out his hand and receiving the fist bump.
"Good fight," Kael complimented, his once expressionless face morphing into a small smile. His berserk aura and red eyes had long since returned back to normal.
\'Why\'s he smiling?\' Atticus wondered while gazing at Kael\'s smiling face.
He was a bit baffled as to why he was suddenly smiling. The only thing he had done was simply spar with the instructor; was that enough to make him smile?
"Listen up!" Atticus was abruptly brought out of his thoughts by Jared, who suddenly spoke up.
The other students also stopped their muttering and clattering, each of them turning their gazes towards Jared who was now addressing the whole class.
"As you all noticed from the spar, both our manas were blocked, and so were our bloodlines. And despite this, we still utilized mana during the spar," Jared spoke, addressing all the students.
Each of them was eerily quiet, listening to everything Jared was saying.
The ability to use mana or another form of power outside the confines of their bodies when their mana was exhausted was something remarkably valuable.
He continued,
"This ability," Jared\'s words were followed by him raising up his right hand and facing his palm upwards.
And with focused thought, a small round blue translucent orb suddenly materialized on top of his palm.
The orb started floating upwards and kept ascending higher and higher until it reached a staggering 8 meters above the ground.
"This is called Aerokinesis," Jared declared.
\'Aerokinesis, huh,\' Atticus thought with a small smile.
Jared continued, "It\'s simply utilizing your will to take control of the surrounding mana and bend it to your whim," Jared explained.
"As you guys must have witnessed, there are numerous ways you can make use of this ability, and the one and most important criterion you need to achieve to be able to use this ability is; will,"
Seeing that the students were following, Jared continued his speech, "This exact technique would be what each one of you will be learning in the span of your 3 years in the academy," Jared said.
\'Well, not all of you,\' he thought while subtly looking at Atticus.
The combat class was supposed to last for 3 years of the academy for each student, although the instructors would change each year.
This was done because Jared and even the academy staff knew well enough and never really expected that a bunch of 15-
year-old kids, whether tiered or not, would have enough wills to be able to perform the technique.
And this was why the combat class was introduced.
Their job was mainly to train each of the students with the intention of increasing their wills to acceptable levels to utilize the technique.
Rune crafting would have been the best option for them to increase their wills rapidly, but unfortunately, not all of them had enough intelligence to even try and engrave even the simplest of runes.
\'A course that was supposed to last for 3 years was basically completed in a single day,\' Jared truly had no words to say.
Jared went on to explain more about the combat class to the students and the hellish training that awaited each one of them.
After about a few minutes, Jared finished briefly explaining the course.
Then he immediately asked each of the students to jog around a makeshift enormous track with their mana block feature on and each of them donned in 20 kg weight.
Each of the students jogged until their body arched for more than 3 hours. It took a huge amount of will power for some of them to keep going.
And as soon as the time for the class ended, Jared ended the class.
Many of the students immediately got down on the ground breathing heavily as they tried to catch their breaths.
After a minute, each of the students started trickling out of the class.
Atticus and Kael stood together by the side. Neither one of them had even a single drop of sweat on their forms.
In fact, none of the students could even say that they both ran together with them.
The other tier one youths too weren\'t as exhausted as the other tiered students. But some of them still sported a few signs of sweating on their foreheads.
Meeting Kael\'s gaze, both of them nodded, and just as they were about to start heading out,
"Atticus Ravenstein," Jared\'s voice suddenly sounded.
"A word with you, please."
