In Gale Feather University College (GFUC), somewhere in Training Venue.
There are two people fighting on the ground while there are several people watching on the sides.
The blue-haired guy with a handsome face, wearing a light-green training combat suit, gauntlet-like gloves, and long metal boots on his legs. While on the other side is a black-haired guy, also wearing a light-green training combat suit, wearing a long sharp spear in his two hands.
He used the "Flame Sweeper" toward the blue-haired guy and the latter immediately use a "stone body."
The black-haired guy immediately uses "Death Ember Thrust" while the blue-haired guy used "Wind Boost" and disappeared.
The black-haired guy immediately uses "House of Destruction" in his front while the blue-haired guy immediately uses "Fire Spinning Dance"
dodging the spear while spinning and immediately steps on the other guy's shoulder.
BOOM!
The ground exploded
But the blue-haired guy already jumped high.
Looking at the blue-haired guy at the top, the black-haired guy smiles contemptuously and said: "You're Courting Death"
He used "Inferno Sweep" towards the blue-haired guy and then…
He saw the blue-haired guy disappear in exchange for the stone.
"Switch" Unique Ability.
Where?
Then he saw an "Earth Shatter Punch" coming towards him so he immediately used the "Flame Recoil" to move back and then used "Demolition."
If Gato was here, he can see the stiffness of the black-haired "Flame Destruction" moves especially the fourth form: Demolition.
Obviously, the "Flame Destruction" technique is not only an Elemental Mastery but also a Weapon Mastery. And to use the full potential of the fourth form: Demolition, the user is required to reach intermediate.
The only reason why the black-haired guy can use it is because of his strength which is already a Middle Stage or even a Middle Peak Stage of Expert. But some instructors can see the flaw of his moves, they know that this black-haired guy can't still use the full potential of the form.
That Black-haired guy was still a Beginner Mastery. But actually, it wasn't his fault, but the system of society.
They have been taught to allocate their full effort to spend their time in Elemental Mastery because most of their cultivation progress was connected to Elemental Mastery.
They were taught that there were only 4 years in the stage of the first prime of a warrior's growth and once they wasted a bit of time in training their weapon mastery, they will take a hard time or spend a long time in Expert Stage.
The expert Stage was the longest and the blockage of improvement of the warrior. And even more than half of the warriors not only in Artheran but in the whole Retus, had been stagnant in this stage. So, it's understandable that most instructors suggesting to spend time cultivating than training weapon mastery.
Upgrading Weapon Mastery can still be upgraded in the future while cultivating especially in the first prime cannot.
So, in the eyes of the majority, the way Tristan and Gato train weapon mastery than cultivating Elemental Mastery were wrong.
And back to the fight when the black-haired guy used "Demolition", although it looked stronger compared to Gato's Demolition, actually it's just that the rank of the black-haired guy was higher compared to the latter.
The blue-haired guy immediately used "Wind Boost" and then vanished and appeared on the sides of the black-haired guy. He immediately activated his wind element and used "Rapid Punch."
This guy dares to use the wind element against fire which is countered by the latter element. That's because the wind element was faster, and the blue-haired guy was so confident.
Beginner Peak Elemental Mastery and almost-Peak beginner fighting mastery. These were the assets of the Blue-Haired guy.
"Puh" The Blacked haired guy spurted out of the blood and immediately used "Flame Recoil" then the Blue-haired guy formed two balls of stone in his hand and threw them at him.
The Black-haired guy immediately dodge it away and then the blue-haired guy used "Wind Boost" and vanished, he appeared on the left side of his opponent and activated his fire elements then used "Blaze Strike."
"Pu…" The Black-haired guy flew away again and then he saw the blue-haired guy at his back.
What?
How did he?
Then he recalls the two stones that were thrown at him before.
Damn it, that Switch unique ability!
Cyclone Sweep!
(Imagine Rock Lee combo)
The black-haired guy was tripped and then…
Typhoon Fury!
"Puh!"
The Black-haired guy flew away again.
A few seconds later…
"Goddamnit!"
The Black-haired guy became a bit bigger.
Rage unique ability!
Once the user feels extreme rage, their strength, defense, and dexterity became faster but compared to Tristan's "Berserker's Blood" unique ability, "Rage" unique ability was constant and had the same ratio of proportion that had been shared to the buff, while "Berserker's Blood" where the attack speed was really unreasonable, you think that the user who used this ability already reach the limit of attack speed then you will be shocked that the user attack speed became faster, again and again, and added another buff of Elemental Resistance.
And the disadvantage of the "Rage" unique ability is the user's emotion, once the user cannot control his emotion, the user will become wild and can even attack their own comrades.
Good thing, it didn't happen to the black-haired guy. Worthy of being a core member of S-class university, they had been thought well by the instructors.
The black-haired guy can still control his emotion, but some people can see the irritation and unwillingness in his expression.
Then, again, the two people clash.
And a minute later, when the blue-haired guy was about to punch his opponent, but he was stopped by the instructor.
A few seconds later, the black-haired guy lay down on the ground and the medical assistant immediately rushed to take him away for treatment.
"Gerald vs Wolf, Gerald Wins"
GASP
Clap, clap, clap
The crowded applause.
"Congratulation, who would expect that you can win" said by his Vice-Captain, Claudia.
"It's lucky this time, senior Wolf almost got me, If the senior will be more careful, I will take a hard time" Gerald responded to her.
"It's good that you have humility, but sometimes, it's also good to be proud. Today is your glory, you can celebrate with your friends. Next year fight, I will expect something from you"
Gerald saw the person who was talking, it was his Captain, Light Orthon currently ranked 4 in Artheran Youth Ranking.
"Don't worry, Captain!" Gerald said politely.
The other core members and sub-core members also congratulate him and he also returned it with a smile.
He saw his captain go away after the advice followed by Claudia and others
"From now on, You will be the rank fifth core member" said the instructor who come to him and hurriedly go away.
WOW!
Fifth Position!
The rank of first to the fifth position was really important because the person who has this rank has the freedom to choose in competition whether they will go in team battle or Individual battle.
And Gerald manage to reach ranked fifth if it's only an A-class or lower class, it may understandable but ranked fifth in S-Class. You know, most of the ranks 1-5 core members were monopolized by the fourth year because obviously, they have a stronger foundation than the third year.
And lastly, the person who can reach ranked 1-5 core members in S-class universities were… Middle Stage Peak! Or even Higher.
This means Gerald is already at a Middle Stage Peak this time.
And you guessed it right, Gerald already broke through a few days ago.
He's already exhausted this time and then he feels a pat on his shoulder and heard: "Well done, who wouldn't expect that a third-year will get the fifth position in S-class if it were known outside, I don't know how shocking would that be?"
Gerald looked at the female on her back, and people can see her light blue hair, high cheekbones, red lips, and gentle eyes, and can be considered as a beautiful woman.
He knew who is it, it's Lorainne, Lorainne Asana.
Gerald just shook his head and said: "No need to brag about it, you know, there's really many monster talents outside, who knows when they will appear."
"And you're also considered as the one you mentioned… here"
Both of them heard a voice and Gerald saw a bottle of water coming to him and he catch it.
He looked at the other female in front.
She was also a beautiful one comparable to Lorainne, she has brown hair and the only difference is unlike the calm appearance of Lorainne, this one was shorter a bit compared to Lorainne, and you can also see the alluring on her face and boldness of her temperament.
She was Julia Garcia.
"It's good to be humble and not be arrogant, so how about celebrating your winning today, I will treat you?" Julia patted his shoulder and said.
"No need for you, I've already booked here"
Lorainne passed the booking ticket to him and then she knit her brows and looked at her with a warning in her eyes.
Julia didn't budge either and also looked calmly at her with a (hypocritical) smile on her face: "Ho, is it, then would you mind if I will come?"
"The ticket is only reserved for…"
"Then we'll invite others, it's not good to celebrate if it's only a few" Gerald said.
"Hoho, That's great, I will call the other friends, do you agree right?" Julia said to him and then smiled at Lorainne.
"Tha-that… yes" Lorainne gritted her teeth while looking at her.
A half-hour later, Gerald and others celebrated somewhere in a restaurant with friends and peers.
And a few minutes of celebrating, they started to talk and mostly praised Gerald for his success. Some females couldn't help but blush at him but feel the aura of the other two made their spines shiver.
Some males couldn't help but be jealous inside but they didn't dare to say it.
Kasam, Amir, and Patrick his high school classmates until now also appeared and congratulated him.
Then few minutes of talking one of the students reading his phone were surprised and talk to his friends.
His friends looked at him and then they started to talk with each other.
Then other students also followed even Gerald couldn't help but look at them with confusion.
Because he happened to see them looking at him, not only him but also at Lorainne, Kasam, Amir, and Patrick.
What happened?
One of their classmates passed the phone to him.
Gerald took the phone and look.
Lorainne and others also were confused and looked.
And then, when they saw the news.
[The mystery of why the Skyfall Heroes University of Blue Region rejected Carlo Baker had been resolved. The S-Ticket had already been reserved by a certain youth in Black Region named Tristan Black, and it's shocking because the identity of this guy was…]
[This guy unexpectedly a student came from Gale Feather Highschool, same Batch as Gerald, Lorraine, Astrid, and Alfred...]
Looking at the report, Gerald, Lorainne, Amir, and others widened their mouth in shock.
…

Station 487, Zetrino City
Inside Gale Feather Highschool in the conference room
Principal Joseph opened the door then he saw the Vice-Principal and other Instructors there.
They saw the solemn face of the principal so they didn't dare to talk.
Principal Joseph sat down.
"The University already contacted me about the situation, they're asking me about who the hell is Tristan Black, and how come this profile didn't appear on their evaluation. Vice-Principal Walter, maybe you can explain it to me" Principal Joseph look coldly at the side of Walter.
If he remembers correctly, this guy was the one who initiated to make a harsh punishment on that guy. Joseph also knew Tristan Black, of course, who wouldn't know the infamous guy in their school. He also had a bad impression of that guy so he didn't care about it at that time, he just let Walter manage most of the situation.
And two years ago, when Walter initiated this case, Joseph didn't care. If Tristan's father was still alive, maybe he will take it carefully but when he heard about his father's death, he didn't care anymore, and now the table was overturned. Miraculously that guy manage to survive in that region, and the most shocking thing is that bastard managed to get the reservation of SHU S-class ticket.
He was also surprised at how determined the Headmaster of SHU was to get this guy. What did he see in that guy? Obviously, it must be a potential, otherwise what else?
Now he regretted it a bit, why did he let this bastard manage the work if he could only take that carefully. Now there's no time to regret it, it's already happened. The only thing they could do now is how to solve the problem.
The University already pressured them about this situation. Gale Feather Highschool was only a subsidiary of the University, once people here made a big mistake, there was a chance that they will remove from office.
Feeling the cold gaze of Principal, Walter couldn't help but become nervous.
"This… this… it's because…"
