Chapter 61: Gray (1)

The moment Michael saw the sword, he remembered his darkest memories. He froze in place. Where he stood was like a royal balcony. 50 metres above the ground in the centre of the battlefield. Michael was squeezing the pillars of the balcony so hard that they crumbled into dust.

Kai had a strange look on his face. He was surprised. Auron had shown him the event 200 years ago when he was telling him about the old times. That's why he knew the whole event. Of course, he saw them through Auron's eyes.

As he got rid of the surprise on his face, he returned to his former calmness. The spectators were shocked to see his opponent standing calmly even though he was in the middle of the green lightning.

It was inconceivable that Boyd could reach the centre of the green lightning with his weapon. Of course, there was a price, but did it matter as long as the price wasn't death? Even if your opponent is much stronger than you, they will regret fighting you when a lightning bolt suddenly appears. And Boyd had even used it in a simple tournament. Didn't that show that the sword didn't take too heavy a price?

It's simply an incredible weapon!

"I'm really surprised that you have the Hell Sword of the 7 Dimensions. Unfortunately, it won't do any good. It's time to end this."

And Michael came to his senses. As much as he wanted to enter the field and ask Boyd where he got this sword, he couldn't just throw away the rules. He was the principal of this academy. If he didn't follow the rules, who would?

And did it really matter? Who was going to stop him from taking that sword and interrogating Boyd when this tournament was over? Kai? A simple Kingslayer wasn't qualified to stop him.

Still, he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Kai knew what had happened that day. Did that mean he was going to ask him where he got the sword? It would be best to get this done before he and Kai fell out. A great mystery would be unravelled today.

"You've been wondering about my true power all along, haven't you?" Kai's voice really sounded like a question. He addressed the audience. His blond hair swayed in the arena with the pride of a gladiator, and there was a fierce arrogance in his blue eyes. Kai was arrogant. It wasn't unexpected. A boy his age was doomed to drown in his own ignorance, unaware that geniuses like Michael existed. Unless he overcame his ignorance, he would never reach the talent levels of those legendary geniuses.

The audience couldn't help but be astonished by Kai's fierce gaze. Apparently he had changed.

"Then let me show you." Kai raised his head and showed his eyes. All his emotions were at the beginning of the peak of the yellow lightning, except for peace. Peace was in the middle of the peak. The serious expression on his face was blood-curdling.

Kai took a step and an aura of the peak of green lightning enveloped the arena. Some people could hardly breathe and everyone was shocked by what they saw. The person with the lowest power in the 1st region of the 1st class was at the beginning of the peak of the yellow lightning, and this aura was strong enough to kill him.

The most surprised person was undoubtedly Boyd. He had risen to this level by receiving the power of the Hell sword of the 7 Dimensions, but this was temporary. It wasn't really his level. Whereas Kai had actually managed to reach the peak of the green lightning at this age. Right now, Boyd could feel that dominant aura in his body.

Although Kai looked calmly, the expression in his eyes frightened Boyd. It was as if he was seeing his soul in all its nakedness. But wasn't he just on a stage? Why was he so frightening? Moreover, shouldn't Boyd be much more frightening with the weapon he had?

This was the result of Kai's progress in the sense of excitement! Even with just his gaze, he was confusing and unsettling the human mind.

When he lifted his left foot into the air once more, the earth on which he had placed his right foot crumbled to pieces. When Kai stepped on the ground, he suddenly appeared in front of Boyd and stepped on Boyd's chest with his foot. He covered metres in a second and had an unimaginable speed. It was completely different from before!

Boyd sank to the ground before he realised what had happened. He could hardly breathe and almost all his ribs were broken. Blood was coming out of his mouth. Kai's cold stare was still there. But there was a more dominant situation than his previous arrogant behaviour. This was Boyd's sword.

"Where did you get that sword, Boyd? Do you know what it is?"

Kai was definitely not afraid to scare a child. His behaviour was cold and threatening. Boyd didn't care if he died. After all, he would be back. But Kai's behaviour seemed to go beyond that. Although Boyd was surprised by the question, he did not think that Kai would try to take his sword. Michael would never allow such a thing. He also thought that Kai had a much better sword than this sword.

"I don't remember where I got it. Ahh!" Boyd prepared to continue his speech after vomiting blood once more. He realised that he could not win now. If he tried to win, it would only mean more pain.

"I know it's called the Hell Sword of the Seven Dimensions. I know there's a human inside it, but it never spoke to me. The only one who spoke to me was the sword itself. I couldn't stand its darkness. Damn it! I was supposed to be able to control the sword, not it control me!" Kai didn't care what Boyd said. He lifted his foot off Boyd. Kai climbed out of the hole he had put Boyd in. Boyd was still lying in the hole. His chest was bloody. His own blood running through his brown hair.

"Give up, Boyd. You need to get better. "Boyd knew why Kai would say such a thing. This way Boyd couldn't say everything.

"I-I give up." As Boyd gave up, the formation suddenly activated. Michael appeared in front of Boyd at a speed that no one could see. Although he didn't say anything, he looked angry from the expression on his face.

No one in the arena could make a sound. There was supposed to be a celebration because the tournament was over. But no one could make a sound. The aura emanating from Michael was so overwhelming that people didn't dare to breathe. Their minds and bodies were frozen. Although not lethal, his authoritarianism represented immortality. Michael's immense power made Kai feel like an insect. Even the 6 Guardians of Sense were silent. Kai knew they were the ones who were always talking. But they hadn't said a word since Michael revealed his aura.

Kai looked at Michael and didn't know what to say. He was so powerful that he couldn't comprehend the degree he had. How many emotions did he have? How strong was he? The energy in his body was like a bottomless pit, making him unable to move. They waited in this state until Boyd recovered.

As soon as Boyd was fully recovered, Michael moved and took Kai and Boyd and disappeared.

With Michael's disappearance, Aserah appeared in the centre of the field. No one understood what was going on. At first Kai said strange things and unleashed his power. Then Michael entered the field and unleashed his desire to kill. Now that Michael was gone, Aserah was the one who had to make a statement here. She was the senior vice principal of this academy.

"Kai Lane is the winner of the freshman district 1 tournament. There will be no celebration this time. The arena is closed. Everyone get back to work." Aserah went to the balcony after saying what she had to say. While everyone was looking at the balcony, Aserah took Emma and Lena and disappeared.

"We'd better go too. Kai will tell us what happened later. Looking at him now makes me want to curse my weakness, I need to get back and get to work. I'm so fired up," Kevin said. He had an excited expression on his face. Without waiting for anyone, he pulled Melony by the arm and ran away. As he left, everyone saw how red Melony was. No one knew what someone with a sense of love would do to become so strong.

If Kevin wanted to catch up with Kai, he and Melony would have to work hard together.

"We really need to get to work too, come on. " Milah's face was red with anger as Jack grabbed Milah's hand and led her away. She hit Jack on the head in anger.

"Use proper sentences!!! People misunderstand," Milah said. Jack looked around and saw how the others were looking at them. Jack started playing with his brown-blonde hair with a naive look on his face.

"Aren't we going to do what we said anyway?" A smile formed on Jack's face. Milah was surprised. Jack took the opportunity to put his hand on Milah's legs and disappeared, embracing her in a single embrace.

Of course they weren't going to do what they thought! They are only 14 years old!
