[Godspeed] II.

-{Random Cadet's POV}-

It was a good day. I had recently managed to make my way into the Eastern Empire army and I would rise within the ranks to become someone of importance.pt

While me and the other cadets were introduced to this world of wanton killing we were all prepared and we had steeled our resolve and some blood would not be able to dissuade us from what we had to do.

I had not been able to complete the Lieutenant Colonel's challenge but I used that as motivation to train and to become better. I respected Lieutenant Colonel Aloin; he represented everything I wanted to be. Someone with power and authority, someone of relevance.

After the challenge was over I thought to make small talk with some of the other cadets to make bonds and to integrate myself into a group. And so I began talking to the other cadets. We talked about a few topics in the short time we had. One of the more prominent topics were of the other 120 cadets who had managed to complete it in time. We thought of them as monsters. People who were blessed by the world, But little did we know our analysis of them wasn't just flawed, we were ever so wrong.

They weren't monsters, they were Devils.

It took us by sheer surprise. We had seen the youth who went around berating the other cadets calling them "Weak" and "Useless" some cadets tried to retort but upon knowing he was part of the 120 cadets who had finished first. Being one of the top 3 he had earned the right to look down on all the others.

We all heaved a sigh of relief when he had found another person to pick on. We saw as he approached the youth that was sitting in an odd pose. We saw as the youth questioned him, We all had thought he was purposefully ignoring him and with that thought we all made a silent prayer for the poor youth in our hearts. I saw as the youth tried to attack the other boy on the floor. To our utter dismay the boy in the odd pose had reacted to the attack not only did he dodge the kick he retaliated with one of his leading to them clashing with their legs.

A collision that seemed to generate a lot of wind as we could barely keep our eyes open.

And from there it all went to hell as soon we were not able to keep them in our sights then the impossible happened the youth who was i n a meditative position had somehow teleported to the other youths back an impressive feat in and of itself but the show had not ended yet as we then saw the other youth look at him with a smirk as if mocking his feeble attempt at an attack.

-{Narrator POV}-

As Mahald uttered "[Godspeed] 100%." The atmosphere seemed to have changed as Kaiser knew that this would be a tough battle yet he smiled as he felt his lust rising beyond reasonable levels.

Soon within the courtyard all that could be seen were dust clouds and what seemed to me moving shadows.

As the shadow of Mahald disappeared from his spot and reappeared from Kaiser's right flank with his hand clad with a sort of twirling energy as he brought it down from below upwards.

Barely able to react. Kaiser bent his body backwards to avoid getting his head punctured before he could even land on the ground Mahald once again disappeared from where he seemed to be previously as he appeared in the air along with Kaiser leaving him no room to maneuver his body in order to be able to dodge the incoming strike. Within his hand corked up in a punching position Kaiser grimaced as he knew what came next and he was about to be in a whole new world of pain.

'So that is what you were aiming for this whole time. You bastard!' Looking onto Mahald's hateful face he knew he had done too good of a job while taunting his opponent.

*Crack*

That was the sound of Kaiser's rib cage being broken from the sheer impact of the punch Mahald delivered on him. Kaiser's body bounced against the floor and he spat out an alarming amount of blood. Pain riddled his body as they soon threatened to overtake his senses. He knew he must not let that happen or else this battle was as good as lost.It seemed he would have to go all out too.

He took a deep breath as if to properly prepare himself as he widened his emerald green eyes as a weird pattern seemed to appear on them for a quick second it seemed to merge with his irises as they swirled together and soon it had given shape to a six sided star.

"[Eye's of Nirvana]: [Godspeed]100% X RampageX Battle Will!" Kaiser, who previously seemed as if he was beat, was now standing with a smile on his face as his emerald eyes glistened and his ash blonde hair fluttered from the sheer aura emanating from his body.

While Mahald tried to keep his composure and to prevent his fear of the monster in front of him but evident by the taunting of Kaiser once again it was clear his eyes had betrayed him.

"Come on now, Don't tell me that's all you've got I wanna see moreeee!"

Entering a different position Kaiser sprinted off appearing in front of Mahald whose face had fully warped into an ugly expression as he had just gotten past his perception. But that was not what had scared him the most as [Sixth Sense] was going off like crazy constantly sending signs to tell him that the person in front of him was dangerous and he should escape. It had never rung this loud even when he had first acquired the skill. For the first time since he had almost been mauled to death by those wolves in the forest he felt genuine fear for another being.

While Mahald was experiencing what it was like to be the prey, The predator in question seemed to be charging up an attack as a blue orb was being condensed and radiating massive amounts of light. To Mahald's horror [Hyper Analysis] had told him that orb contained around the energy equivalent 290 Tons of TNT that's equivalent to ¼ of a whole nuclear bomb.

"Fuck me!" Mahald, using all available tools at his disposal, tried to find a way to escape the blast radius.

Not even thinking of his fellow cadets who would also be blown to smithereens he did not have the ability to as he wasn't even sure he would be able to get out of here in time. Even with [Godspeed] going at a 100% he felt it wasn't enough.

He pondered turning [Thought Acceleration] to the max and it seemed that was the only option there he had around 2.5 seconds before the blue orb would land that gave him about 42 minutes of time to think up a solution. And he also had to deal with the sheer amount of stress his body would go through with training. He managed to find a way to extend how long before his catatonic state set in. It was truly an all or nothing gamble.

Having already decided his next course of action he turned up [Thought Acceleration] to the maximum.

Finally having some breathing room to calm down and plan his next move he thought about his opponent and his abilities.

'He seems to be able to copy people's abilities and techniques although I do not know the effects of [Battlewill] it seemed to grant him a greater boost to his strength and [Rampage] he seemed to have copied from the youth who was killed on the first day.' He pondered racking his brain to come up with a solution even employing his four other thought streams to put their current tasks on hold and to help with the problem at hand.

'Come on Mahald! Think! Think! You have the intelligence of a God and yet here you are not able to get out of a situation such as this. Come on!' He berated himself further after all the ideas and solutions he had come up with so far had obvious flaws in it.

'He has to have a weakness, everything does, What could his possibly be. Perhaps a condition? Or a time limit on his usage of copied abilities. No! That is too risky a bet to make. Shit I wish I invested more time into attacking techniques rather than escaping ones. It seems my only option is to overclock [Godspeed] and to get away from the blast radius as soon as possible and let's hope he isn't able to copy this..'

Having decided his next course of action Mahald muttered under his breath as he steeled himself to be in a world of pain the moment the technique was pushed past its normal limits.

"[Godspeed] X 150%" The world which had seemingly slowed down once again lacking its usual variance of color had opened itself up to Mahald.

"Ugh.That hurts." Having out this much fatigue on his body with tears all over his muscles it felt as if his body was decaying by the second.

Once again entering his absolute domain with a renewed determination and a purely logical mind. He then began to enter a runner's stance and just before he could dart off he heard a gruff voice call out.

"Stop!" And before he could even process where the voice was coming from an aura of fear and death washed over him and he had subconsciously let go of his [Godspeed] mode and he struggled to retain consciousness and with the pitiful strength he had left he turned to see that he was not the only one affected as the youth seemed to be struggling too.

He then turned his head once again only to see a man who seemed to exude a natural aura of death and destruction drop from above and he could instinctively tell that the previous wave was from him.

"What do you fucker's think you are doing!" The man said with unhidden rage within his tone.
